Chapter 239 – Martial Arts District (34)

Chung Yu-hwa, holding a potion, entered the large manor.

It was the place where the Volcanic Faction stayed in Liaoning.

“Did you come to the government office?”
“Huh.”

“Sister-in-law, by the way, today…”
“Sorry. I’m a bit busy right now Urgent work or later.”
“Ah, yes.”

He walked quickly, greeting the Volcano Squad disciples as if they were passing by. Some disciples tilted their heads, but there was no time to care.

‘Ha..’

Finally, she arrived at the room she used alone. I checked every nook and cranny, but no one was there.

I took out the bottle that I had cherished in my bosom.

Red water droplets rolled around the smooth and transparent bottle.

‘If only I had this…’

He didn’t even know if he could fix the heart of his lover Namgoong Moo-hyeok. Killing all the worms in the heart and restoring the fragmented heart seemed to be enough.

Of course, it was a risky way. So much so that I wouldn’t even want to try if possible. This was a plan for the worst.

‘But is it really possible…?’

The question is, is it really possible? The red liquid was observed closely.

I held it tightly in my hand and concentrated on the feeling.

A warm and lively energy permeated through the palm of my hand. It was a mysterious feeling, as if an intense life force had been condensed.

“Ah..”

I involuntarily exclaimed in admiration. The water droplets, smaller than a fingernail, seemed to be alive.

‘It might really work…’

Then, clear water was taken out. It was the water he mixed with the medicine and gave me to use.

Again.

A red drop of water fell into the transparent water. It melted and mixed as if ink had been dropped.

A reddish liquid was created with a soft glow.

‘Whoa..’

I took a deep breath and focused. He raised his sword against his fingers.

And he slashed his forearm. I couldn’t let others know, so I had to test it myself.

Jerreuk..

Red blood flowed down his forearm. A sharp pain crept into the deep cut.

There was no hesitation. The medicine-mixed water was carefully spread over the wound.

‘Uh..?”

The moment the wound and the red water touch.

Deep cuts healed quickly. Before a few breaths had passed, I was back to smooth skin. Healing of the wound was visible.

“Nonsense..”

Just one drop. Diluted too. Still, it was a phenomenal effect.

I couldn’t believe it even when I saw it with my own two eyes. If it was this, it really seemed like it could save his heart even if it was broken into pieces.

“It was real..”

I was skeptical, but now I had to believe it. It was an incredibly valuable drug.

Suddenly, I felt uneasy.

‘They give you this kind of elixir that easily…?’

No matter how you think about it, it was just too weird. He said he wanted to be friends, but honestly it was hard to believe.

In fact, I could tell just by looking into his eyes. That you want yourself as a woman.

‘That’s absolutely not possible.’

He bit his lower lip hard.

There was something fortunate about it, though. I promise I won’t force you to do something you don’t like.

‘I’m sure the master of the Hwagyeong won’t say it twice.’

Besides, I have two young and pretty lovers… It didn’t look like he was going to force himself.

But if you really just want to be friends…

That was welcome too. I saw him in the subjugation party, so he was a trustworthy person.

‘I’m sorry, but…’

I was sorry to receive the medicine just for spending time together. It was clear that what he wanted would never happen.

As she pondered her thoughts, she let out a sigh. She was determined to do her best in the work she was asked to do.

***

A huge tent erected somewhere in Liaoning.

Dozens of Murim people gathered there. The Moyongse were representatives of various factions who participated in the subjugation.

“Hmmmm..”

Tension rose on their faces. We rolled our eyes and looked into each other’s eyes.

That’s why today’s meeting was so important. Enough to put down face for a while and engage in a war of words.

“If everyone is here, let’s begin. Today, about how to distribute the wealth and elixir obtained from the Moyong family…”

A middle-aged man shouted at the words of the Murimmaeng soldier.

“For a moment. Why did you take two seats in the Volcano Faction?”

For a moment, her eyes focused on Chung Yoo-hwa. With the exception of the Volcano faction, everyone nominated only one representative.

Others stood at the edge of the tent without a seat at the table. They had no say.

Chung Yu-hwa said with an expressionless face.

“Today, I came out on behalf of the daily inspection. It has nothing to do with volcanic waves.”

“…Why are you representing the daily inspection?”

“Never mind, I volunteered for personal reasons.”

As she spoke with her cold face, the Volcano Elder sitting next to her gave her a wry smile.

“I do.”

“Kuhm..”

After the middle-aged man stepped down, the meeting began in earnest.

The process of claiming and coordinating each other continued.

“No, that’s not too much!”
“What a lot! How many times have we killed the dispersers!”

It became noisy as if it were a market trough. For today, everyone has lost face.

The wealth and elixir to be obtained this time were important resources for raising disciples. Enough to affect the rise and fall of the munpa.

Amidst the ongoing war of words. It is the turn of the blue oil painting. Her clear voice echoed through the conference room.

“I think it will be about 30% of the daily inspection.”

“What! Four, three?! Look at this. How many people are here, and how can you take Samhal by yourself?”

“You are alone. Did you forget the colleagues brought by the daily inspection? They are also transcendent masters…”

As the words continued, people’s expressions became more confused.

Certainly, when Dang Hwa-rin and So-hyang were combined, there were as many support troops as there were quite a few Sega.

“What’s more important than that is how much effort you put into it, isn’t it? The four-day swordsman killed the master of Hwagyeong, so that alone is enough to receive Samhal.”

The people sitting in the conference room could not open their mouths.

The middle-aged man hesitated and finally spoke.

“…Still, there are too many Samhal. I should show my sincerity to the elders, Geolwang and Geomwang.. Then there’s not much left.”

When the Sword King was mentioned, the elder representing the Namgung family cleared his throat.

“Greatness..”

For a moment, their eyes focused, and Namgung Mu-hyeok and Chung Yu-hwa, who were standing behind the elder, met their eyes.

Her pupils fluttered slightly, but she soon spoke in a firm voice.

“Then I will give in. Let’s do this.”

“Okay..”

Someone’s expression crumpled. It was Namgung Moo-hyeok who even had convulsions around his eyes.

‘Cheongmae… Why is it like that?’

Annoyance bubbled up.

I did not understand the attitude of Cheong-Yoo-Hwa. No matter how you look at it, it was too much. It wasn’t even my school’s business, but I was too active.

Four days inspection, four days inspection at the end of every word. The name she didn’t want to hear kept popping out of her thick lips.

‘Whoa..’

She closed her eyes and waited for the meeting to end. She had no say in him.

“You’re right. If you make a contribution, you have to pay for it.”

These were the words of a Nakhwa priestess who had never said a word. Staring at her blue oil painting, she nodded her head with a satisfied expression.

“…Maybe the future…?”

At the words of a middle-aged woman, the priestess of Nakhwa said without looking away from her.

“This is a matter of course, apart from the future. If you make a contribution, but if you treat me badly, who will fight for Meng?”

“Okay..”

“Of course, this division should also include the area managed by the Moyong family.”

Seeing the smile of the Nakhwa Goddess, Cheongyuhwa hesitated. She was an unexpected reinforcement.

“··· Since the four-day inspection is a person who goes alone, he will not have enough manpower to manage. So he dispatched a warrior from the Murim League instead…”

The two beauties scrambled for a four-day inspection.

It was to the extent that even the fortune teller who was close to the four-day swordsman laughed bitterly.

“In the first place, this is not a loss from Meng’s point of view. Is there anything wrong with being close to a master who rose to Hwagyeong at a young age?”

Widely!

The Murimmaeng soldier who had been listening quietly folded his fan. The gaze was focused.

“Ihal.. It’s a bit excessive, but.. I’ll accept it. Don’t worry too much about others. If there is a lack of wealth, even if it means robbing Meng’s storehouse, I will give everyone a satisfactory reward. Next, compensation for the casualties…”

After some time, the meeting ended.

Namgung Mu-hyeok ran straight to Chung Yu-hwa, who let out a sigh as if she was tired.

“Cleaner. Can we talk for a minute?”

“Ah yes.”

The moment she went to a remote place with her.

Asked, forcing her crumpled face to straighten out.

“Cheongmae. Why the hell are you like that today?”

“Ah.. I just took the place of the four-day inspection..”

The impression was frowned upon. I held back what I wanted to say and spoke as kindly as possible.

“You can’t just do it in moderation. Why are you raising your voice so much? It won’t be good if you look bad on the elders.”

“The grace I received was so great that I couldn’t help it.”

“Grace?”

She licked her lips and averted her gaze. She said in a crawling voice.

“That, that… Ah! Mo, you saved her life too, but this much is ..”

“Life?”

Embarrassed, she shut her mouth. But she couldn’t take back her words that had already flowed out.

Namgoong Muhyuk said urgently.

“You save lives? What do you mean?”

“That’s… Sat, subjugation…”

“Subjugation? Did something happen during the subjugation? He said nothing happened!”

Said her fidgets.

“…Actually, I was slightly injured before Sail Swordsman treated me.”

“What, what! Why on earth are you saying that now!”

Namgung Moo-hyeok’s eyes widened as if they were about to tear.

Her fingertips trembled. She couldn’t tell whether the emotion occupying her head was worry or jealousy.

“I’m sorry for hiding it. I was afraid you would be worried.”

“Keuk..”

I forcibly swallowed the swearing that was about to come out without my knowledge.

“Whoa… No. I’m more sorry You must have been hurt because of me.”

“Oh no! If I had been more careful…”

As the annoyance went away, her sorry came up. She hesitated, then she told her.

“Cheongmae… Why don’t you go on an outing after a long time? If you go in disguise, you won’t have to worry about people’s eyes.”

“Ah..”

Her expression brightened for an instant and she shook her head.

“Sorry. I don’t think it will be possible because I have somewhere to go urgently.”

“Where do you mean..? Do you have any appointments?”

She said with an awkward smile.

“Sorry. I promised not to tell you.”

“I see. Isn’t that dangerous?”
“Sure.”

Cheong Yoo-hwa left with a smile.

During her short time she struggled dozens of times but didn’t catch on. If she was of her upright character, it was useless to press her.

She stood upright and she looked behind her.

“Haa.. Am I becoming too sensitive..”
