Chapter 327 – [Isn’t It Wrong to Seek an Encounter in Moorim?]

The street gets noisy. This is because rumors spread in earnest that I was a disciple of the Thousand Killer, and along with it, the attempted poisoning case related to us became known.

In this case, in order to appease public opinion, it is necessary to take off the tail or cut it off and punish it clearly.

After the investigation of the case was over, at the invitation of the party, I headed to the Tang family with Sun-yi. The attention of the people around you is focused.

“People are just staring at us”

“Maybe he’s looking at me. To be precise, my teacher is a famous person.”

There are many people who are strong against Murim, but there are not so many great people who have changed their sega to take revenge. Even if there is, it is likely that it is an organization, not an individual.

It is the romance of the Murim people to be independent even though they do not know the reign. If you go further, you want to put the whole world under your feet.

Moreover, even after a thousand years have passed, the name of the Three Festivals under Heaven has not disappeared. It can only be a rumor that attracts so much attention.

“Welcome Daehyup! I’ve been waiting for you!”

They welcome you with a different treatment than last time. Numerous members of the Tang family stared at us, each hiding their feelings.

There was respect and admiration, but also anger at times. It must have been the guy who was beaten up by me last time.

Soon after, I entered the inner room. I served her a classy cup of tea that was so fragrant that the scent spread throughout the room, and since she brought me some sweet refreshments, I even gave her portion of the refreshments to Seon.

“By the way, is martial arts training going well these days?”

“I’m still learning the martial arts the uncle taught me, but it’s a bit difficult and I’m getting stuck.”

“Okay?”

Unlike Baekri, what Seoni learned was nang-a-yusu (狼牙流水). However, since this is not qigong but a conceptual martial art, Seon-yi, who has not even mastered qigong properly, has no choice but to block his talent from transcending common sense.

But that’s a matter that time will solve. I work hard and I have talent, but there’s no way I can’t realize it.

“Are you training your body?”

“Yes, I’m just running and exercising hard. Of course, I’m not using my strength.”

“Inner air… Well, it’s fine.”

A child who has only been learning martial arts for only a few days has already accumulated a year’s worth of martial arts.

In addition to Nang Ayu Su, the sim method taught to Seon is a rudimentary sim method that has been slightly modified based on the infinity force core’s covetous mind and infinite energy. There are no special features, only the speed of collecting internal energy is a little better, but it is already too fast for a year’s worth of internal energy.

When the time comes, I’m thinking of teaching them at least covetous and immeasurable qigong. Anyone can learn Covetous Qigong, but not everyone can use it, so if a person with a distorted personality learns it, he will become a monster like Covetousness.

Still, the reason I was able to learn is that the Choi family is basically altruistic. I am an egoist who wants my own happiness, but I am also an altruist as much as my happiness comes from the happiness of Zion.

Choi Gil-hyeon, a Night Lord, just cares for everyone, and his cousin Choi Kang-in is such an altruist who cares for children, so people from the Choi family are immune to that kind of thing. Probably brainwashed or something like that.

“But it’s kind of scary…”

“What?”

“No, nothing”

If you learn Covetous Infinite Qigong, you will eventually form an Infinity Force Core, and then you can obtain near-infinite inner energy. If it is Seon’s talent, the possibility of reaching that point is extremely high.

It’s not easy to rise to the level of being a transcendental person, but if you build a foothold like that step by step, what’s left is a matter of time.

Personally, I wish Seon-yi would just make a name for herself in this small Moorim, meet a good person, get married, and live a good life, rather than becoming a transcendentalist. Because human happiness is not so far as to be beyond human beings.

……Let’s put the greedy Qigong on hold for a while. Even if you just learn it now, you can reach the level.

After the time for a cup of tea, Dokwang came into the inner room and handed us an apology first.

“Sorry to keep you waiting. I’m late because I have some business to take care of.”

“I didn’t wait too long”

Basically, Hao used in Moorim is an honorific word. However, it is not just high, but it is a way of speaking to opponents who are roughly equal.

If he were a single king, he would treat me with respect despite his age in Murim, which means that at least he considers me as the same level as himself. It means that I acknowledge my distribution.

“The girl over here…”

“If you’ve done your research, you’ll know enough, it’s the last lineage of Kook Haru.”

“Choi, my name is Choi Seon.”

Sun-yi clumsily gave a hug and greeted him. Dokwang looked at Seon-yi with satisfaction and smiled.

A family with only a son would look cute enough, and a girl of this age would be cute even if she had a daughter. Just looking at it made her happy.

“The investigation has definitely been completed. The poisoner is the current owner of Gukharu, Master Yang. It seems that he has been friends with my third grandson, Dangjincheon, while supporting entertainment expenses, and used it this time.”

“To think that the Tang family’s blood was only used for contract work…”

“I’m sure our sugar price is silver and won. Yangju will pay for it.”

But that’s not what we want.

Those who thrive by cooking, will ruin by cooking. And if we are to judge the sequencing of resentment, it is not Tangga that comes first, but Seoni.

“About the third prince of your family…”

“Jin Cheon decided to start training in the face wall for 10 years. You might think that 10 years is a short time for taking the lives of others, especially those of a young girl. There won’t be”

“Hmm……”

“If you want to use your hands, I’ll give them to you.”

If it was normal, I would have told them to put it out and then I would have separated the bones and flesh myself, or I would have starved them to death because they were messing with the food.

However, if you practice face-to-face for 10 years, it’s okay. To die is for a moment, but to live is to suffer. What’s more, you have to train only against the wall for 10 years… That’s hard work.

For people in modern society, going to the bathroom without a cell phone is boring and reads shampoo ingredients, but face-to-face training is more boring than that. I can only practice martial arts in a cave with nothing. What’s more, eating Byeokgokdan is the way to go.

If you lived a hedonistic life, you would not be able to practice face-to-face training. Rather, I decided to understand that it would be more painful than killing. Besides, didn’t Sega say they would ignore it after 10 years?

I shook my head and said.

“That’s enough”

“Thank you for your generosity.”

It means thank you for saving my life, but I’m the one who wants to live and suffer, so I’m going to leave it alone.

But the next thing is Yang Yoon-chae’s problem.

“For now, he’s been detained separately. If he has any other punishment he wants…”

“If Eun-won is to be ranked first, this child will come first, not the party. Isn’t that so?”

“Of course”

“Then, first of all, we should clear the stigma of Gukharu’s bloodline.”

Yang Yun-chae deliberately won a cooking showdown with mapo tofu. But it wasn’t a fair victory. Gukharu’s mapo tofu is not just about taste.

If you say ‘Gook Haru’s Mapo Tofu’, you may not know, but in the match with the theme of ‘Delicious Mapo Tofu’, it was natural that Yang Yoon-chae would win.

If you died unanimously losing to such a shallow trick, even if you were like me, I would break the rule of not dwelling on your previous life, break in, grab you by the collar, and shake you off.

“We’re going to have a cooking showdown again. It’s the one that made Gukharu stigmatized, so we have to get it back.”

“But who will fight that confrontation…?”

“Of course, this kid.”

“This kid?!”

“Am I?!?!”

At first, I was going to step out and do it. The idea was to show a little bit of the taste of the founder of Gukharu.

But that didn’t seem to make any sense. This is because I was just a person in my previous life, but now I am a man who is not related by blood to Seon. All that remains is a bond that is thinly connected by the heart.

And revenge is meaningful only when Seon-i himself does it. If I do it from start to finish, it doesn’t look like it.

If it’s cooking, I’ll teach you. Because there is a winning strategy.

“Hmm, personally, there was an aspect that I didn’t like about Gukharu’s confrontation. Of course, I was away from my family at the time… The one sitting in the judge’s seat was my son and the main family member of the current clan.”

“Why is the poisonous king Daehyeop?”

“A long time ago, when the great commander of Gukharu was alive, we often ate there. When Master Jin passed away, really…”

“Ah!!!!!”

At that moment, I remembered the child on the other side of my memory.

There was a boy from Tangga who was from Sichuan but couldn’t eat spicy food well because of his constitution. So he deliberately adjusted the spiciness and gave it to me, and he ate it well even with a runny nose.

Until I died, he often came and made mapo tofu with the spiciness adjusted each time.

It’s understandable that I saw it somewhere but couldn’t remember easily. It’s difficult to look at an old face after decades and remember the times when you were young.

The impermanence of time… And fate…

“Why are you like that, Choi Dae-hyeop?”

“……It’s nothing. Don’t worry.”

Only those who live for a long time can feel the feeling of seeing a child who had a runny nose when he was young and is now an old man and is treated as the best elder in a family.

At least I cut off ties from my previous life, so cases like this are really rare. And because I’m reincarnated, I don’t live long.

“Please tell the Yang family. The lineage of Guk Haru came back to restore Guk Haru in the same way. If we win the match, we will punish the crimes committed regardless of the punishment.”

“Is that all right?”

“I’m saying this because I’m confident that I can win.”

Things are going so well. I’m riding a fair wind, as if the absolute of fate is taking care of my convenience right now.

Unlike the last time, the examiner this time will not be the three family heads of the Tang Dynasty, but the Dokwang himself. Those who remember the taste of the days when I was making Gukharu a long time ago.

And in this screening, the modification that Yang Yoon-chae wrote last time does not work. Even if you try to buy it, you won’t be able to buy the adult of the party, and the only thing left is your skills.

Above all, I will make the subject clear. The mapo tofu I have to make this time is not ‘delicious mapo tofu’, but ‘Gukharu’s mapo tofu’.

This time the case will be reversed.

“Then I’ll assume the story is over and I’ll go back now. Just set a date and let me know.”

“Yes, Daehyeop Choi”

After the story, when I came out of the gate, Seon-i asked me a question that I couldn’t answer on the spot.

“But I cook?! I can’t cook!”

“It’s just that I’ve never learned it, I just have to learn it. And I don’t learn to cook well, I just need to make one thing.”

If you keep digging into one dish, you are no different from a master craftsman.

I don’t know if you’re going to make it personally, but if you’re running a store, there’s bound to be a general-purpose recipe. I don’t know if it’s a variety of dishes, but if I’m making just one dish, I can devote myself to it for several days.

Moreover, Seon-i’s talent is perfect, so he’ll be able to do it soon.

“Hey, I really can’t cook…”

“No, you have that much talent, so why can’t you?”

“Cooking isn’t fun. When I lived at Guk Haru in the past, I only did billing and cleaning.”

“……?”

No way… It can’t be that extreme, right? Even so, such monstrous talents are bound to stand out in other things.

Just looking at the girl living in a mountain hut by herself, you can almost see it. This is not a mountain behind a Korean neighborhood, but a place similar to ancient China. How many wild beasts are there? Right now, during the Joseon Dynasty, countless tigers lived in the narrow land of Korea.

Besides, there must be things that transcend common sense, such as spiritual creatures, so if the risk was high, it would be high, but never low. What about the kid who lived in that mountain?

“Could you… Are you a picky eater?”

“Ah! Eat everything delicious!”

“That means picky eaters!”

Who doesn’t like delicious food! Unless you’re sick, eat everything!

What Sunie said is similar to saying ‘raise your hand to those who haven’t come’ or ‘everything is there except for the ones that aren’t there’.

If Seon-i is not interested in his talent, it is unlikely that his talent has been shown to others since before. Besides, the place where I grew up was a restaurant, so if you weren’t interested in cooking, it would be even more so.

“Hi, it’s a goal…”

But now I can’t get over it.

If that’s the case, I have no choice but to draw Seon’s interest and teach him somehow.
