nChun Chu Shin Ui and Il Chim Gui were meeting Homu-ryeonju.
nIn fact, they thought they would meet him after a few more days.
nBefore that, they expected to have a face-to-face with the little ones, and only later meet him for a short time.
nHowever, it wasn’t long after they arrived before he wanted to meet them for some reason, and they were a little surprised.
nApparently, it seemed that he even paused the work he had to deal with and promoted this meeting.
nWhen they arrived, they confirmed that the expressions of the literary men did not look very good.
nMaybe it was because things didn’t go smoothly.
n“It is an honor to meet the renowned doctors.”
nTo the polite greetings of Homu-ryeonju, Il Chim Gui and Chun Chu Shin Ui also greeted each other.
n“They are just vain rumors. We are very honored to see the person who commands Moorim in Hubei like this.”
n“Huh, huh. What do you mean command? I am just a worker. I have a lot of complicated things these days, so it has been very troublesome as of late.”
nHo Mu-ryeon-ju, shaking a little bit like that, had a few words of formal conversation.
nChun Chu Shin Ui and Il Chim Gui also matched him appropriately because they had dealt with a lot of high-status people before so it wasn’t difficult.
n“From what I heard, you two have joined the Gold Wall merchants… Is that correct?”
n“You are correct.”
nChun Chu Shin UI replied. Il Chim Gui replied by nodding his head next to him.
n“I thought it was really unexpected. You two were famous for not making any enemies. In fact, I know that there was a fair share of recruitment… … .”
nChun Chu Shin Ui nodded.
n“I did. I even got proposals from Namgung Household and Jegal Household.”
nAs if he felt a sense of competition, Il Chim Gui said.
n“People came from the Moorim League and Black Lotus as well.”
n“Huh. You two are definitely amazing. To think even Moorim League and Black Lotus would send people.”
nHomu-ryeonju’s heart chilled. What would have happened if Il Chim Gui entered Black Lotus?
nThinking about it made him even more greedy.
nIf Ho Mu-ryeon can have these two people, wouldn’t it be possible to go beyond being called a small Moorim League like now?
nThe power of an outstanding doctor was that great.
nIt was important that they excelled, but it was more so when you think about the doctors they will train.
nAlso, being excellent doctors meant that they can make excellent medicines as well.
nAs such, if the efficacy of medicines Geumchang and Naesang become better than they are now, Homu-ryeon’s power will rise rapidly.
nBut it was premature to talk about that now. He hadn’t laid enough groundwork yet.
nIt was something to be done step by step over a long period of time.
n“So I was really curious. How did such people come to entrust themselves with the likes of the Gold Wall Merchants? I was curious about what kind of place the Gold Wall was to make this kind of achievement.”
nChun Chu Shin Ui smiled inwardly. Basically, he was looking to get some information for them.
nHe was trying to find out what Gold Wall had to make them so special.
n“In my case… I just decided to work for someone who really knows me.”
nHe was telling the truth. No lies are mixed in.
nIf Byeoktaesan hadn’t completely seen himself, he would never have decided to join the Gold Wall.
nHo Mu Ryeon-ju was surprised to see that his sincerity was desperately revealed in his expressions and eyes.
n“People who recognize you seem to be all over the world though… … .”
nChun Chu Shin Ui smiled.
n“Everyone only saw my outer appearance, but the lord was the only one who looked deep inside me and acknowledged me.”
n“Hmm!”
nHomu-ryeonju truly admired that. Because he could definitely feel that Chun Chu Shin Ui truly enshrined the second son of the Gold Wall merchants.
nSeomun-deok’s evaluation of Byeoktaesan came to mind as his words.
nHo Mu Ryeonju looked at Il Chim Gui this time.
nIl Chim Gui hesitated for a while and said.
n“I got caught up in a bet.”
n“A bet?”
n“I don’t know how much the people in the world know about me… but I like betting a lot.”
n“I’ve heard of it.”
n“My weakness was caught there. Although… I feel like this would have happened even if it wasn’t for the bet anymore.”
nHo Mu Ryeon-ju asked carefully.
n“Then… Even you also entrusted yourself to the second son there rather than Gold Wall itself?
n“That’s correct. Honestly, I don’t care much about the Gold Wall. If only our lord is safe, that’s all I need.”
nThe inside of Homu-ryunju’s head was messy.
nIn this way, there was no need to investigate the Gold Wall. No, it’s possible that these two people were hiding information, so he needed to investigate.
nBut something more important came up.
n‘They said his name was Byeoktaesan right?’
nHo Mu Ryeonju decided to meet Byeoktaesan.
n* * *
nSoso looked around, turning her head around. Then she curled up like a cat and walked sneakily.
nIt was late at night, but the moon was bright, so there was no big problem with moving.
nSoso’s face was covered with tension.
nShe had to go to Byeoktaesan’s room tonight.
nShe was very worried about Yeon Ha-rin’s gaze, who was looking at her, but she couldn’t help it. For Soso, Byeoktaesan was higher than Yeonharin.
nAnd to be honest, it wasn’t that there wasn’t anything to expect. She was too embarrassed and she felt guilty towards Yeon Ha rin, but she forced herself to ignore it.
nAnyway, as she walked sneakily, she arrived in front of Byeoktaesan’s room.
nShe couldn’t do this or that in front of him, so she heard a sound from inside.
n“It’s annoying. If you’re coming in, come in. If you don’t like it, just leave.”
nAt first glance, it was a harsh and cold tone.
nBut Soso knew very well that that wasn’t the true intention of Byeoktaesan.
n“Because you’re talking so badly.”
nSoso carefully opened the door and went inside.
nShe saw the image of Byeoktaesan sitting on the bed with a cross-legged seat. Soso swallowed dry saliva without knowing it.
n“Come and lie down. It’s better if you take off your clothes, but it doesn’t matter if even you don’t.”
nSoso’s face turned red.
nHow can he say that without changing his expression?
nHer thoughts shouldn’t be long. Soso quickly ran and went up to the bed and laid down on the blanket.
nByeoktaesan smiled as he looked down at Soso.
nWhen Soso was trying to say something after seeing a burst of playful laughter, Byeok Tae-san put his hand on her head.
nAnd he pulled out her spirit.
n* * *
nSoso left Byeoktaesan’s room before sunrise and returned to her room.
nSoso shared the same room as Danyoung and Chaewol, but surprisingly, the two women were waiting without sleeping until Soso came.
nSo-so’s eyes were surprised and round.
n“uh… Sisters, so uh. I uh… … .”
nHer mind got tangled up so much and she didn’t know what to say or what she was saying.
nDanyoung approached her.
nAnd she hugged her quietly.
nSoso softly closed her eyes, feeling indescribable comfort.
nAfter calming down, Danyoung and Chaewol sat down with Soso in front.
nThe two women twinkled their eyes and looked at Soso.
nSoso looked back and forth and looked at the two of them.
n“How was it?”
nSoso was surprised at Chaewol’s question.
nAnd after discovering a little playfulness in Chaewol’s eyes and expressions, she smiled bashfully.
nFor some reason, Soso’s skin seemed to glow.
n“Of course.”
nDan-young confirmed that and nodded.
nShe didn’t know why, but every woman who slept with Byeoktaesan got prettier. Although there are some differences in degree.
nSoso was the side with a lot of differences.
nThe skin was also smoother, and her features became clearer.
nAnd she had a very comfortable atmosphere.
n“I just saw you, but it’s this much… You might really stir things up later?”
nChaewol said so, shining her eyes.
nChaewol heard more rumors about Byeoktaesan than Danyoung and watched Byeoktaesan’s work at the brothel for a longer time.
nByeoktaesan and the women who he slept with all looked better.
nHowever, they did not change the day after sleeping.
nIt changed gradually over time. Usually, it took about five days, and in some cases, it lasts up to three days and ten days.
nThe longer it took, the better they looked.
nThis was the case with Danyeong and Chaewol, and all the women who came to visit Byeoktaesan.
nAnd how much it changes on the first day becomes a measure of the final change.
nBased on that, when she saw Soso, she seemed to change for a long time. And she will be very beautiful.
n‘Looking at what has changed now… Although the cute side seems to be much more emphasized.’
nChaewol asked with a gentle smile.
n“Seeing that expression it must have been very good?”
nSoso cleared up her thoughts for a moment, then slowly opened her mouth.
n“I’m not sure what to say about this… It felt incredibly cozy and comfortable.”
n“Cozy and comfortable?”
nAt those words, Dan-young and Chae-wol looked at each other and opened their eyes wide.
nWasn’t this different from themselves?
nWhen the two of them slept with Byeoktaesan, they felt like they were soaked in a pleasure that could not be described in words, and then got back out.
nSo that was probably why they couldn’t hear anything.
nHonestly, they were a little worried. Experience has shown that there will be a constant screaming moan that made it difficult for most people to fall asleep.
n“What about your memories? Do you remember how you did it?”
nSoso shook her head without strength.
n“No. Unfortunately… … .”
nIt was the same with them.
nOnly feelings and moods remained, and no memories were left.
nDanyoung suddenly felt strange.
nAll the people who have spent the night with Byeoktaesan have been the same.
nOnly the feeling of struggling with tremendous pleasure remained, and the memories disappeared.
nBut everyone took it really casually.
nAs if it were natural.
nEven the people who were with him, not the party, were the same.
nBut, isn’t that by no means a natural or ordinary situation?
nWhat is really curious even though this question arises is that the question is nothing, and this situation itself is taken for granted.
nEven if a question arises, you quickly agree.
nLike now.
n“That’s a little disappointing. Really… I felt like I would never experience it again.”
nAt the word of Chaewol, Soso shook her head.
n“No. I really liked it. It’s because it’s a feeling I’ve never felt since I was born. Maybe… I will never be able to experience this again, right?
nDanyoung and Chaewol looked at Soso with mysterious eyes.
nIt felt different, but the result was the same.
nAnd there was someone else who felt that novelty.
n* * *
nByeoktaesan slowly embraced the spirit power gained through Soso.
nSoso was a little different from the others.
nWhen he burned the dirt off the spirits of the courtesans, the moaning of the spirit rang everywhere but that wasn’t the case with Soso.
nSoso looked really comfortable throughout the burning of the spirit.
nIt’s as if someone is taking care of it.
nShe looked hurt sometimes, but it seemed that it was not because it hurt, but because it felt refreshing.
nNo one has ever shown this kind of reaction before.
nIn the past, as a joke, he told Soso that her soul was being stained with dirt, but that wasn’t just a joke.
nIn fact, Soso was a child with many pure aspects.
nIt was also clear that the soul was less grimy.
nHowever, when he burned the spirits through the Spirit absorption skill, he accumulated much more spiritual power than he had imagined.
nTo some extent, it was more than when he pulled the spirit of the guy he caught at Hyanghwaru in the beginning.
nIt was not a spiritual power that has a mixture of spirits and was useless, but pure spiritual power.
nIt was better than any other spirits he had ever burned.
nByeoktaesan naturally turned Soso’s spiritual power to Gimaek therapy.
nThen something strange happened.
nHis mind was calm and his body relaxed.
nIn the meantime, the energy that he had healed became more firmly established.
nByeoktaesan intuitively felt that today’s treatment would be a very important point.
nUntil now, if he had just treated it randomly, today it played a role in strengthening the foundation.
nFor example, in martial arts terms, it felt like he was only doing expert level martial arts until now where he was finally able to lay the foundation.
nThe sense of security that it brought was indescribable.
n“Indeed… It’s a great martial art skill.”
nThe more he learned, the newer it became. He thought it was the end, but it was not the end, and when he thought it was the beginning, it was not the beginning.
nMaybe he will get enlightenment that turned all of today’s work upside down.
nBut today’s work will help eventually.
nEven though the Spirit Absorption he learned in the days of Cheonma were all overturned through the enlightenment he gained as a result of his death, as if the fact that he learned it was of great help.
nByeoktaesan calmly felt Soso’s spiritual power with his whole body.
nA pleasant smile constantly hung around his mouth.
n* * *
nThe exchange began in earnest.
nThe whole of Homu-ryeon was excited.
nThere were many reasons for holding the meeting.
nFirst of all, the purpose of strengthening the exchange between the warriors belonging to Homu-ryeon step by step from childhood was the biggest reason.
nAlso, seeing each other and being stimulated was the foundation for development.
nIt also meant to open up opportunities for practical growth.
nAt this time, all the people of Homu-ryeon fully helped the next generation meeting wherever they could.
nIt was a time when it was easy to see adults responding to the questions of the next generation in many places in Homu-ryeon.
nWhether it is a question of martial arts, a question about what is going on in the world, or a question about knowledge, questions, answers, and discussions took place everywhere.
nThey could even have a spar if the talk went well.
nIt was not long after Homu-ryeon was formed, and it was all because of this effort that it has grown to the point of being called a small Moorim League.
nSo, how precious would the time be to the next generation warriors attending this meeting?
nThey had to get as much as possible within a limited amount of time.
nYeon Ha-rin, who had to split her time like that, looked at the room of Byeoktaesan with a slightly sulky expression.
nToday was the third morning since she arrived in Homu-ryun.
nThe first and second days each took a break, and today was the real start, but Byeoktaesan never thought of leaving the room from the second day.
nYeon Ha-rin didn’t dare to call for Byeoktaesan.
nIt was because he seemed to be facing a very important moment.
nShe really thought that way, how many times a person who hasn’t even mastered martial arts in the common sense would have to face such a moment.
nShe thought that way whenever she got close to the room of Byeoktaesan.
nThat was the same for everyone, not just Yeon Ha-rin.
nIt was the same even for Yoo Seo-yeon, who rolled up her arms and repeated her determination to resolve.
n“I wanted to go together… … .”
nAfter muttering under her breath, Yeon Ha-rin turned around and left the dorm.
nAs Yeon Ha-rin left the lodge, she saw someone approaching from far away.
nThe eyes of Yeon Ha-rin, who confirmed who he was, turned into the size of a flower lamp.
n“Ryeonju-nim?”
nSurprisingly, Ho Mu Ryeon-ju was approaching at a busy pace.
n
