Birth of the morning, death of the night (3)
pop! Boom boom! pop!
Fireworks exploded everywhere and the gathered martial arts fighters cheered.
Today, the collapsed Maengjujeon Hall was finally completed again. It’s already been five months since I became the leader.
“I am reducing the size, Lord.”
With Galsaryang leading the way, members of the Murim League came and offered congratulations.
“It was a building I destroyed, but I feel sorry to receive congratulations.”
Then Gwangwol Danju Joo Seung-tak said.
“What you defeated was not Maeng Jujeon, but an evil enemy called Cheonwanggun.”
The person who received those words was Jong Cheon-rak, Lord of the Heavenly Palace.
“of course. “If it weren’t for Lord Maeng, Gangho would have been in darkness.”
Ga-kyung, the head of the law, added his praise.
“It seems like the discipline of the Murim Alliance has returned to the days of the Heavenly Alliance. All of this is thanks to Lord Maeng’s excellent leadership.”
The owners all expressed their congratulations one by one. The eyes looking at me were full of faith. The past five months have been enough. Although it wasn’t enough time to know exactly what kind of person I was, I learned what kind of martial arts group I was pursuing.
“These are words of excessive praise. “Okay, everyone, take a break from work today and enjoy yourself.”
“Hahaha, yes. “I will drink as much as I want today.”
A large banquet was held at the Murim League. Everyone was happy and celebrated the rebuilding of Maengjujeon.
Not only the Murim League warriors but also the general strongmen were very happy. From what I heard, military leaders gathered in the Wuhan area and there was no room to even step foot in the guesthouses and bars.
After becoming a leader, my popularity continued to rise.
When the banquet was in full swing, he stood up for a moment and entered Maengjujeon alone.
Maengjujeon was built differently from before. Galsaryang strengthened new formations and institutions to create a maengju battle with much tighter security. Thankfully, Galsaryang was decorated to my taste, not only in terms of its architectural style, but also in its interior structure, the colors of the walls and floors, the furniture inside, and even the wooden decoration of the Taesa Temple.
On one wall inside, the story of the defeat of the Cheonwang army was engraved. Although somewhat embellished and exaggerated, the events of that day were vividly recorded.
For some reason, looking at it gave me a new feeling.
There were other records in the past. A record of my life at that time. Those were the 15 most important fights in my life, and my past footsteps that are now part of the history of powerhouses.
Now, the past has been erased and the records of the new leader, Byeokridan, have been written. Depending on my future actions, what will be written on this wall will change.
What kind of content will be recorded?
I slowly walked up the stairs along the red carpet. She sat on the royal throne placed on top of it.
It definitely felt different from the temporary lord battle. He was happy but awkward.
For the past five months, I have been busy practicing martial arts every single day while working as a leader. When I’m busy, I stay busy, and when I’m free, I focus more. I went back to the time when I first learned martial arts and trained hard.
Although Demon God Gyeol still stayed in the old castle, he was not thirsty for the great castle. Once he made up his mind that even if he encountered an enemy, he would deal with it with the skills he had now, he felt at ease.
Was that why? Last month, Masinyeongpungbo, a training method, achieved great success.
Demonic flight meets all three requirements: minimum endurance, speed, and long distance.
Although Masinjiro used up a lot of internal energy, he made moves that no one could really believe. It is now possible to move to any visible location in an instant, as if teleporting.
Of course, it goes without saying that the leaping power of Demon God Buun, the mysticism of Demon God Shadow, and the strength of Demon God Bullet have developed dramatically.
Even though the Demon Spirit’s sword skill remained at the old level, it had already surpassed the limit of martial arts that humans could perform.
If you achieve great success in demonic formation, you will stand on the border of becoming a god.
What kind of path awaits you? What path should I choose?
It was something unknown yet.
At that time, Gal Sa-ryang walked in there.
“How does it feel to be sitting there again?”
I answered honestly to Gal Sa-ryang’s question.
“It’s unfamiliar. “My shoulders feel heavy.”
“You will soon get used to it. And there is no need for you to feel burdened. “You have done so well so far.”
Over the past five months, the Murim Alliance has regained stability. The Murim League has once again shown that its appearance is completely different depending on who its leader is.
Galsaryang and I quickly carried out the tasks that needed to be done. With my strong martial arts skills and leadership, plus Galsaryang’s brains, there was nothing to be afraid of.
Aren’t we experts among experts, at least when it comes to the Murim League? It was something I had done my whole life. I could tell what they were thinking just by making eye contact.
It was only five months, but the Murim Alliance had clearly changed. Above all, the perception that they were members of the Murim League working for Kang Ho-in was spreading widely.
“Thanks to you. If you hadn’t been the commander-in-chief, the Murim Alliance would still have been a mess. No, I wouldn’t even be able to sit here.”
If it weren’t for Galsaryang’s recommendation, I wouldn’t have even thought about becoming a Murim lord.
“He says all kinds of things.”
“What about corruption within the organization?”
“We corrected a lot. It wasn’t that difficult to begin with because it didn’t shake the foundation. “In the past, the leader had very strong discipline, right?”
Afterwards, when the Ma family became the Murim lords, discipline became much lax, but it was not to the point where the roots were rotten.
“Please continue to support the ruling party in the future.”
“all right.”
“And take care of yourself while working. You know that your body is not your body, right? Feel free to leave the work to me. “You work less.”
“Thank you, Lord Maeng.”
Gal Sa-ryang looked at me and smiled. These days, I laugh often. It’s a smile I’ve never seen before in my past life.
Okay, let’s live this life like this.
“By the way, Banhoeju also came earlier.”
“Yes, I saw it.”
When the name of Cheonmanghoeju Ban Seo-jeong was mentioned, Gal Sa-ryang’s face turned slightly red. Although she didn’t vote, it was clear that her friends liked her.
“I’m waiting in the guest room right now to say hello and leave.”
“Let’s go quickly.”
“it’s okay.”
“It’s been a while. Don’t keep me waiting. “Let’s go quickly.”
“Okay, I’ll see you later.”

Gal Sa-ryang retreated.
As I looked at his back, I realized that it was time to do what I had been putting off.
That was a much more important task than rebuilding Mengjujeon.
* * *
“Congratulations on your return.”
Gal Sa-ryang responded to Ban Seo-jeong’s greeting with a smile.
The entire organization had previously hid underground, but resumed its activities after Byeokridan became the leader.
“My lord is such an outstanding person that I am once again entrusted with an important responsibility that is undeserved.”
“My lord, I heard you said something different?”
“What did you say?”
“He said that if it weren’t for Master Gal, he wouldn’t have been able to come in. “This position of leader was created by Galgunsa.”
“You praised me for no reason.”
Ban Seo-jeong smiled.
“Seeing you two makes me feel good. There may be superiors and subordinates who treat each other like this. I’m also jealous. Moreover, there is a big age difference between you two, right?”
“Age means nothing. Haven’t you seen it a lot, Lord Banhoe? A lot of old people who have wasted their time. “I’m trying not to be like that either.”
“Sir, you are still young.”
Gal Sa-ryang lowered his head with a smile, his face getting hot. Her heart ached.
‘I wish I were a little younger.’
If I had done that, I would have been able to deal with anti-lyricism more confidently and proactively.
“Banhoeju is still the same.”
“It’s still the same?”
“You don’t seem to age at all.”
“Oh my, this is a compliment, right?”
“Of course.”
“This is the first time a soldier has said something like this.”
She smiled broadly. Gal Saryang thought she was very beautiful. She was the person who made my older self’s heart beat. So she couldn’t reveal her feelings carelessly. Because I couldn’t blow away this precious feeling.
“Then I’ll just leave. Please take care.”
“Have a good day Banhoeju too.”
“By the way, come over for a cup of tea when you’re free. “A good car just arrived.”
“I will.”
Ban Seo-jeong walked out of there.
Gal Saryang stood at the window and watched her leave until the end.
* * *
It was me, not Gal Sa-ryang, who went to Bulu.
I went there with only Gwangdu and a few warriors from the Tiger Corps.
“Lord!”
Ban Seo-jeong was surprised by my sudden visit.
“I was passing by and suddenly thought of a cup of tea, so I stopped by.”
Of course, I went there on purpose to meet her. Ban Seo-jeong must have noticed, too.
We met and said hello at the celebration yesterday, but there was no need to stop by again today.
“Welcome. “A good car just arrived.”
“You’re lucky.”
Ban Seo-jeong came in the car himself.
I had a chat with her over a cup of tea. I hadn’t felt it before, but she had a very delicate and feminine side.
Until now, we had met at Cheonmanghoeju, but today we were able to see each other in an extremely private manner.
“There is one thing I would like to ask you.”
“Please tell me.”
“What do you think of Galgunsa?”
“I guess that’s why.”
It seems that Ban Seo-jeong was expecting that I was visiting for that reason.
She didn’t hide her feelings.
“I’ll be honest with you. I like Mr. Galgun. “I truly respect him and like him as a man.”
To be very honest, I was rather embarrassed.
Her eyes became deeper.
“I and he are too old to hide and postpone my feelings, right?”
* * *
That night, I went to Gal Sa-ryang’s office.
“Lord! “Is something wrong?”
Galsaryang was surprised by the visit at an unexpected time.
I smiled and shook the bottle at him.
“What could happen? “I came to have a drink with you.”
Only then did Gal Sa-ryang feel relieved. I could tell that he was living his life without relaxing even for a moment.
“Oh, please sit down here.”
We’ve been busy lately, so we haven’t been able to have a drink alone. I could have drank it if I wanted to, but I held back. Because of my temperamental nature, it was obvious that I would endure a hangover and work as usual the next day after drinking.
Had galsaryang and alcohol. He talked about this and that and had a few drinks.
When I was getting really drunk, I hinted.
“You should get married and start a family now.”
Gal Saryang thought I was joking and smiled faintly.
“You’re getting married at this age?”
“How old are you? “Isn’t there a saying that the best time to get married is when it’s a little late?”
“Haha, this is the first time I’ve ever heard that.”
“I want you to have a family.”
“Thank you for your words, but I have no intention of doing so.”
“at all?”
The answer came after emptying the glass in front of him.
“yes. “Nothing at all.”
“Hana Banhoeju thinks differently.”
When I suddenly mentioned her, Gal Sa-ryang looked at me in surprise.
“The two of you are being so frustrating that I’m trying to act as a hawk.”
“Lord!”
“Banhoeju gave permission.”
“yes? “You allow it?”
I think this is my first time seeing Gal Sa-ryang so surprised.
I said to him who opened his eyes wide.
“Yes, it’s late. But we know, don’t we? Just as there are things in the world that are late, there are also things in life that you can’t choose.”
Gal Sa-ryang said nothing for a moment. After being dazed for a while, he asked me.
“Do you really think it is possible?”
“It’s possible.”
“Do you think that’s okay?”
“That’s okay.”
“Wouldn’t she be unhappy?”
“Why do you think that?”
“First of all, I’m old.”
“Yes, you are old. But at the same time, you are also the commander-in-chief of the Murim Alliance, which has achieved unification. He is smarter and more insightful than anyone else in the world, and he also cares for his colleagues and is deeply loyal. “The person Banhoeju likes is not just an old man, but that kind of person.”
“… … Lord Maeng.”
“I’ve never lived for you my entire life, have I? “I lived for Maeng, I lived for Jeongjeongak, I lived for Kangho, and I lived for myself.”
Gal Sa-ryang’s body trembled slightly with passion.
I took his hand. His skinny hands were full of wrinkles.
“I will live for you this time. Be honest about your feelings. “I’m not speaking as a leader, but as an old friend of yours.”
