<-- Episode 162: Chapter 4 There are also unpleasant encounters (3) -->
Seomun Hye-ryeong looked at Jin Mu-won in silence for a while. To that extent, her encounter with him had a great impact on her.
These are Damsucheon and Seomun Hyeryeong, who were attacked by Honma seven years ago and had to flee humiliatingly. For a while, Damsucheon could not overcome his shame and did not see Seomun Hyeryeong, who decided to run away.
It took almost a year for Damsucheon to come to his senses. After that, he entered closed training and was practicing martial arts like crazy.
Seomun Hye-ryeong and Shim Won-eui did their best to ask about what happened that day. If the main figures of the Changryonghoe fled like that in front of Milya’s enemies, who would believe them and follow them?
In that way, they completely buried what happened at the Northern Heavenly Gate in the dark. But today, a man who knew all that happened appeared before my eyes.
Jin Mu-won, the last successor to the Northern Heavenly Gate.
His appearance was not simply the resurrection of the ghost of the Northern Heavenly Gate. A person who takes advantage of their weaknesses has appeared. Their weakness was the weakness of the Changryong Association, and if they made a mistake, the Changryong might fall before they could take flight.
Seomun Hyeryeong asked with a confused expression.
“Jin Xiaoxiao, how did you survive?”
“I was lucky.”
Jin Mu-won spoke calmly, but Seo Mun Hye-ryeong did not believe him.
‘Luck comes only to those who are prepared, and it is clear that he has been preparing for survival even before he met us.’
The problem was that while she was with him, he never noticed any of that. Jin Mu-won was so cautious that Seo Moon Hye-ryeong, who prided herself on being smarter and smarter than anyone else, did not notice.
Seo Moon Hye-ryeong’s clenched fists gained even more strength. Because of this, a slight cramp occurred in her shoulder, but Seomun Hye-ryeong was not aware of this fact.
“Is Jin Xiaoxiao really the Northern Sword?”
“That’s what people call it.”
“Then what about martial arts? “Were you already learning martial arts before meeting us?”
“I really learned it after you guys left.”
Jin Mu-won’s words could be interpreted in many ways depending on how one listened to them. Seomun Hye-ryeong looked confused at his uncertain answer.
Now she was in a situation where she couldn’t make a calm decision.
The ghost of the past stands before her eyes. A ghost named Jin Mu-won.
“you are… you are… … .”
She stuttered, unable to speak.
Jin Mu-won just stared at Seo Moon Hye-ryeong.
For seven years, Seomun Hyeryeong’s appearance changed little. She is still beautiful, and her eyes have deepened even more, imbuing her with wisdom.
Although Jin Mu-won was embarrassed by the sudden encounter right now, he knew that he would quickly regain his composure. Depending on what judgment she makes at that time, her own actions will also change.
“Whoa!”
Seo Moon Hye-ryeong, who had been looking at Jin Mu-won with a bewildered expression for a while, took a deep breath. She tried to remain cool. When she used the family’s mental method, her head cleared for a little while. Only then was she able to think normally.
No matter the circumstances, the reality is that Jin Mu-won is right in front of us.
There was no need to think about the past. I had to think about the aftermath of what would happen due to Jin Mu-won’s presence right away and come up with a preparedness plan.
‘What bothers me the most is that he is the legitimate successor to the Northern Heavenly Gate.’
In an instant, numerous thoughts and possibilities came to her mind. Among them, she selected a few realistic options.
‘The first is to remove him from here without any rat or bird knowing, the second is to capture him, and the last is to use him.’
Those three options were the most realistic and feasible.
Before making a decision, I had to first understand Jin Mu-won’s intentions.
“Jin Sohyeop.”
“Please speak, Seomun Soje.”
“Do you dream of Yeokcheon?”
Jin Mu-won’s eyebrows twitched at the way she spoke, cutting in mercilessly like a well-honed blade. But she answered without wavering.
“That’s grand. It’s a reverse. What kind of sky are you talking about?”
“Are you asking because you don’t know? If so, let me answer. “Unjungcheon.”
Jin Mu-won burst into laughter at Seo Moon Hye-ryeong’s answer.
“I don’t know when Unjungcheon became synonymous with the sky.”
“The one who dominates the current powerhouse is Unjungcheon. “Even though I am the Minister of Heaven, I have no shortcomings at all.”
“okay.”
“Jin Sohyeop hasn’t answered my question yet.”
“I think I can answer one thing for sure. “I will do my best to survive.”
Jin Mu-won’s answer contained a lot of meaning. It was not Seomun Hyeryeong who could not read its meaning.
“Survival in Unjungcheon or survival in Gangho?”
“Survival from everything that threatens me.”
“Do you just want to survive, or do you dream of something more?”
“Isn’t dreaming freedom? “I don’t know what more means.”
Jin Mu-won smiled. However, his smile felt uncomfortable to Seo Moon Hye-ryeong. No, the fact that she was in the same room as Jinmuwon, her human, was making her uncomfortable.
Only then did Seo Moon Hye-ryeong realize clearly. The fact that there was no need for everyone to say what was said so far. From the beginning, there was no room for compromise with Jin Mu-won.
They were different from birth. Just staying in the same space made each other uncomfortable and made each other angry.
Today’s meeting was only an opportunity to reaffirm what I already knew.
“That’s sad.”
“What do you mean?”
“Just in many ways. “I sincerely wish Jin Sohyeop good luck.”
“Thank you, Sojeo Seomun.”
Seomun Hyeryeong smiled.
Jin Mu-won’s appearance was definitely unexpected. It is also true that his very existence is a burden to her and her Changryonghoe. However, a true strategist must know how to use even this situation to his advantage.
Seomun Hyeryeong turned around. Jin Mu-won watched the back of Seo-mun Hye-ryeong as she walked trotting away.
‘Is this just the beginning?’
If Seomun Hyeryeong knew, it was only a matter of time before Unjungcheon’s leadership noticed his presence.
thud!
The iron door of the prison closed with a dull sound.

“phew!”
As Seomun Hye-ryeong was leaning against the iron gate and letting out a suppressed sigh, Chae Hwa-yeong approached.
“Sister, are you okay?”
“I’m okay.”
“What’s going on? Did he displease his sister?”
“no.”
Seomun Hyeryeong shook her head. Her Chae Hwa-young looked at her with her young eyes.
“Dan head.”
“Yes, miss.”
Danungang, the head of the clan, who was watching from one side, hurriedly ran over.
“Please release him.”
“yes?”
“Didn’t you hear? “Free me.”
“Oh, that’s… … .”
Danyungang looked embarrassed. Seomun Hye-ryeong’s eyebrows rose at that.
“Are you ignoring me now?”
“That’s not it… … .”
“tell.”
“I looked into it just now, but the report has already been sent to the execution hall, so I can’t release him on my own.”
“Are you saying the report has already been sent to the assembly hall?”
“yes. “I don’t know what happened, but it looks like someone reported it.”
“who?”
“That is the question. “My subordinates ordered strict control.”
Danyungang looked embarrassed. He also found out that a report had just been sent to the assembly hall. The task he had to somehow finish his line became bigger than he thought.
‘Who on earth skipped me and reported to the legislative assembly?’
There was anger in Seomun Hye-ryeong’s eyes.
Now that the report has reached the legislative assembly, the matter regarding Jin Mu-won has become a public matter. No matter how much Seo Mun-hye-ryeong was, he could not carelessly intervene in matters that were subject to public records.
Moreover, Geum Ju-sang, the head of the law enforcement party, was not a person through whom her influence could be communicated. She is a principled person with an abstract personality. Because of that, there were many people within Unjungcheon who were uncomfortable with him, and Seomun Hyeryeong was one of those people.
Things that would have been easily solved even if Jwa Moon-ho had told me in advance were becoming more and more complicated.
‘I guess I’ll have to find some other number.’
As she muttered softly, someone was walking towards the prison in the outer hall.
“The weather is so nice. Did you say you were quitting drinking for no reason? It pulls like hell. Hehehe!”
As the man approached the prison, Seo Moon Hye-ryeong’s expression hardened.
“three… Brain investigator Ha Jin-wol.”
Seomun Hye-ryeong immediately recognized the man’s identity. Ha Jin-wol had a presence in her heart that was even greater than Jin Mu-won.
The man, Ha Jin-wol, must have heard her voice and looked at her.
“Oh, who is this? Isn’t it preface Sojeo? “It’s been a long time since I last saw you.”
Ha Jin-wol joked and pretended to know.
“How did the three-brained monk get here…?” … ? Aren’t you in Yunnan?”
“I arrived in Wuhan not long ago. But I heard that my companion got into an accident and ended up in prison.”
“Accompanying?”
“Hehe! “There is a very stupid person named Jin Mu-won.”
Seo Moon Hye-ryeong’s expression, which had been trying hard to maintain her cool, cracked.
“Did you say you were visiting Jinmuwon Sohyeop?”
“uh? “Do you know that guy?”
Ha Jin-wol opened his eyes and looked at Seo Mun Hye-ryeong.
Burrr!
He didn’t miss the small cramps in Seomun Hye-ryeong’s shoulder.
“How do you know him?”
“I just found out about it while boating in Yunnan.”
“Boating?”
Seomun Hyeryeong did not believe Ha Jinwol’s words.
Ha Jin-wol is one of the people she is most wary of. Like the nickname of the Three-brained Investigator, it was difficult to guess what thoughts were in his head.
Until now, no trickster or genius had been able to make her nervous. Ha Jin-Wol was the first person to make her nervous with her hair.
If I had just met Ha Jin-wol, there wouldn’t have been much of a problem. No matter how smart Ha Jin-wol was, Kang-ho was the one who couldn’t do anything on her own.
However, if it was a combination with Jin Mu-won, it was a different story.
Jin Mu-won is an emerging powerhouse who possesses a force so powerful that he is nicknamed the Bukgeom. In addition, he has a story and background that any Kang Ho-in can’t help but be enthusiastic about.
The fact that he is the last descendant of the Bukcheonmun, which was exterminated by Unjungcheon, is enough to stimulate Kang Ho-in’s sensitivity.
The meeting between Jin Mu-won and Ha Jin-wol was ominously irritating Seo Moon Hye-ryeong’s nerves. It feels like I’ve been hit in the back of the head with a large hammer.
Ha Jin-wol smiled at Seo Mun Hye-ryeong. To Seo Moon Hye-ryeong, his smile felt like a mockery.
The person who had caused him to fall into a mental state with his own hands had come right up to his chin, but he was completely unaware of it. Moreover, she is with Jin Mu-won, whom she finds most unpleasant.
‘It was no coincidence that they met. Then, it is also true that Jin Xiaohyeop was imprisoned in prison… … .’
An intense sense of crisis came over Seomun Hye-ryeong. Ha Jin-wol looked at her and said cheerfully.
“Anyway, I heard that it is difficult to visit someone who is imprisoned in the outer prison. Wouldn’t Sojeo Seomun help you out?”
“Me?”
“haha! Please take a look at the situation. “I will ask you this.”
Seo Moon Hye-ryeong frowned for a moment. But there was no way I could not listen to the other person when he came out like this.
She said to Danyungang.
“Did you hear?”
“Yes, miss.”
Danungang, who noticed the unusual atmosphere, quickly answered.
“Then I hope you two have a happy future.”
“Thank you, Sojeo Seomun. “Goodbye then.”
Ha Jin-wol passed by Seomun Hye-ryeong and entered the prison. Seomun Hye-ryeong, who looked at the scene for a moment, spoke to Chae Hwa-young.
“Convene the Changryonghoe immediately. “Tell everyone who is currently in Unjungcheon to attend, without exception.”
