Chapter 292 – King Yan’s Disciple 3 (8)

The road to Namgung House was clean.

The roads were well-maintained, and it was impossible to get into an argument and show one’s strength and get an apology, which is the dream of a novice martial arts warrior.

Those with demons as their leaders, the demonic and blood cults, had been completely collapsed by the Seven Kings, and as the peaceful era continued, the influence of the Segana clan greatly increased.

The world has become peaceful because its influence has reached places it should not have been able to reach.

‘It’s like a monster called a youkai suddenly appears in such a world.’

I haven’t seen it recently, but I thought it would come out again.

“We’ve arrived.”

The place where Tang Yuzhong, who was in the lead, stopped was the entrance to the Namgung family.

Last time, we couldn’t see the entrance properly because there were so many customers due to Namgunghyeon’s terms and conditions, but today it was quite quiet.

As we approached the entrance, the gatekeeper moved slightly and blocked us.

“For what reason did you visit the Namgung family?”

“I am Tang Yuzhong, who is planning to participate in the Yongfeng Feiwu Festival held in Shaanxi. I came here to see if I could join the Nangong County Small Association.”

At the same time, Tang Yuzhong showed the Tang family card.

The gatekeeper checked the cards, looked at the five of us, and seemed to be looking closely at me, who looked different among them.

“I think you are from the Tang family. Who is the small group behind you?”

“This is Han Xian, who decided to be friends with Namgoong Hyeon.”

His face suddenly contorted at my words, and he thought over my name.

“Han Xian… Are you a disciple of senior Yan Wang?”

“Yes. And I would like to see how the Hwanggeommundo members are doing well. How could I not?”

“Ah. Senior Yeom King brought the lucky yellow sword masters who are learning from the Sword King. First, I understand. We will go inside, talk, and decide whether to enter or exit.”

As soon as the gatekeeper said those words and turned around, his body stiffened.

Of course, everyone around him could not say anything when they saw the person who suddenly appeared.

“It’s been a long time.”

“I meet the old sword king.”

Everyone around them bowed their heads while holding hands.

“I just came out to briefly see a friend’s disciple. There were also the King of Darkness’s grandchildren, right?”

“Dang Yu-jung, Tang Hye-ran, Tang So-ran, and Tang Dang-jung of the Sichuan Tang family.”

“Okay. Please come in for a moment. Everyone is unable to work.”

As soon as the old man, the King of Swords, appeared, the entrance to Namgung House was paralyzed, so it seemed right for us to avoid the place.

When we entered the reception room inside the royal palace, we stood unable to sit down.

“I’m going to talk briefly, so that won’t be a bad thing. So, while I wasn’t seeing you, you became more of a monster.”

“It’s not that much. There are still a few steps left to reach the level Master Yanwang wants.”

“What? That’s enough.”

“Elder, are the Hwanggeommundo members doing well?”

“You will have to learn for three more years. Then you will reach a level where you can go out and say that you have been taught by me.”

Because it is not about becoming a master at the peak of enlightenment and creating a sect.

After finishing his short talk with me, the next person the old man showed interest in was Dong Yu-jung.

“Did you say Tang Yuzhong? That seems to be the Yong candidate sent by the Tang family of this Yongfeng Feiwu Emperor, and if the two ladies do well, they can become Feng.”

“Is it true, Old Sword King?”

When Tang So-ran asked with a bright face, the old sword king smiled and said.

“If I don’t meet my granddaughter and daughter-in-law early on, I will go to great heights.”

“Jegal Seon…”

Dang Hye-ran lightly repeated the name.

Nam Gung-hyeon’s evil mistress, Zhuge Sun-ah, has never tried her hand at it, but she seems to have no shortage of skills.

“Then did you come here to go to Shaanxi with Hyeon?”

“Yes. I thought it would be good if Master gave permission for Kang Ho Haeng, so we could do it together.”

“Hyun-yi has already departed for Yongzhong Mountain. She said she will stop by Wuhan and take her fiancee to greet the elders of the Zhuge family. Everyone will gather at Yongfengbi Wujie, and it looks like she wants to see her partner that much.”

The old sword king said with a happy smile.

Since we are planning to go to Shaanxi after passing through Henan, where the Shaolin Temple is located, I think we will have to give up on going with Nangonghyeon.

There will be a chance to meet you when you arrive in Shaanxi.

“Now that you have come to the Namgung family, go eat lunch. You should also see the faces of the Hwanggeommundo members.”

“Thank you.”

We bowed our heads while taking arms, and the old Sword King nodded and went out first.

“Ha. Wherever I go, I feel like I’m a bit ignored.”

As he left the Nangung House and was heading west to escape Anhui, Dan Tang-jung sighed and said.

“Because my older brother is better than me and my sisters are stronger as well. I always feel like it’s a bonus when we go together.”

Isn’t it because I went with three people from a similar family?

Although Tang Zhong is the weakest among the group, he is at a level of excellence that an ordinary warrior cannot reach.

Still, when I compared him to his companions and saw his drooping appearance, I felt a little bit of pity for him.

“I understand because I was like that too. My two older brothers were intelligent enough to lead a commercial trip and had also learned martial arts to a certain extent. Compared to my two older brothers, I was an idle person who spent my time in Giru.”

“You said you were going to Giru to solve the side effects of martial arts?”

Although I explained it during the Tang Dynasty, did you misunderstand that I started going to Giru after learning martial arts?

I decided to correct the misunderstanding since we are friends, even though it may be different from other people.

“I used to go there before, right? Of course, I learned martial arts for a reason.”

“You just liked Giru?”

Dangjung looked at me with a puzzled expression.

“That’s right. I went to Giru in Jeokgye so often that, except for the new members, everyone was like family.”

“Prostitutes and their families sound a bit strange. But if you don’t behave well, won’t you be labeled as a lustful devil?”

“The color demon nourishes the body, but I instead share my power. Isn’t it a color ray? And if I tried to deviate from the path, I would be burned to death by Master Yeomwang.”

“We use the expression ‘dissolve in poison.’ It’s slightly different.”

As I was walking down the street, making friends with Dangjijung, I heard a nervous voice coming from in front of me.

“Ah! Seriously, Brother Yu-jung, what should I do with those things? I’m so embarrassed that I can’t even raise my face!”

“Soran, I’m quiet when other people are around, so please understand.”

Tang Yuzhong tried to mediate slightly, but Tang Xiaoran turned a blind eye to us.

“Now there are those who have passed the terms and those who have not yet passed the terms.”

Danggi-jung said that the terms and conditions would be met during the Yongbongbimu system, so there really wasn’t much left.

Tang Zhong did not give in to those words and spoke to Tang Xiaoran.

“So, Soran, isn’t it already a year since your contract expired? It’s not much different from us.”

“Huh? It’s black?”

“Huh? I have a draft?”

At the same time, Dangjung nudged me forward.

Even though Tang Soran was the teacher who taught me Bidojutsu, it was obvious that I would win if I fought with all my might, so I clicked his tongue and retreated.

“Tch. Talk about that when we’re alone. Don’t dirty the ears of Hye-ran and her sister.”

She said that she speaks softly, but the problem is that martial people have good ears.

We drove a few more days and arrived at the western tip of Anhui.

The boundary line is clearly drawn, so ‘that place is Hanam.’ It didn’t feel the same, but I can confirm it is different.

Strangely enough, there are no villages at the end of the area, so we are in an ambiguous position right now.

“It seems there are no inhabited villages nearby, so I guess I’ll have to move overnight today.”

“Brother, how is it like to sleep on the street? I think all you need is a place to escape the wind. I wonder if a small cooperative can help with the fire.”

Dang Hye-ran said while looking at me.

Since I could control fire, which is the most important thing in outdoor activities, there was no need to overdo it.

“It’s okay. It’s not that big of a deal.”

“Okay. Then let’s find a place to get shelter from the wind.”

We entered a small empty village nearby.

It had an old-fashioned atmosphere, as if no one had lived there for some time, but I found a nice house in that village.

It was large and had a hole in the ceiling, but the walls on all sides were sturdy.

Those of us who decided to stay here were divided into those who cleaned up the house and those who went hunting for food.

By organizing the house so that people could stay there and collecting discarded blankets from other houses, it was transformed into a place where people could spend the night.

Of course, as I radiated heat, I burned the insects to death and shook them off.

While we were cleaning up the house, Tang Soran and Tang Jungjung, who had gone out to look for food, brought back a neatly prepared piece of meat.

There was space to stay but no cooking utensils, so we decided to grill the meat over an open fire on wooden skewers.

I lit the pile of firewood I had roughly gathered with a flame wheel and sat down to wait with the people in my family for the meat to cook.

After spending more than seven days and nights together, not only Dangjung but also the other three people became comfortable.

“Is Tang Yuzhong Xiaoxiao engaged to anyone?”

“Yes. It is in Sacheon.”

In response to my question, Tang Yuzhong said with a warm smile.

They say they are people from the Sacheondang family who handle poison, but after spending time with them, they are all just people.

“Is there also a small book called Tang Hye and a small book called Tang Xiao?”

And I asked the two Sozers who were sitting slightly away from us.

“We don’t have one. I think the family will probably decide it when the Yongbongbimuje ceremony ends.”

Is it because it’s a famous house? If there is nothing special, it seems like the family will decide on a marriage.

“It seems like you don’t exist.”

“It’s bitter. It’s true.”

Dangjung asked, but it was Mana.

“What does Han Sohyeop plan to look at first when choosing a partner?”

Dang Hye-ran asked me, and I thought about it for a while, and the conclusion was simple.

“A woman who doesn’t scold me even when I go to the garrison?”

“Under those conditions, I don’t think there will be any, unless she is a woman who only cares about the fame or money of a small cooperative.”

Dang Hye-ran said with an expressionless face after hearing what I said, but I didn’t pay much attention.

“Well, where will it be?”

When the atmosphere became a little awkward, the meat was fully cooked and everyone was eating it when they heard the howl of a wolf in the distance.

The people of Tangga also stopped while eating meat and focused on the howl of the wolf.

“Aww~~”

“Awww~~~”

“But it seems like there are a lot of wolves?”

It didn’t feel very good.
