Absolute Sword Sense

Chapter 310



[Episode 100: We Met (2)]

Same time.

The climbing guesthouse outside the Murim League’s castle.

This store, famous for its Dongpo pork, is always crowded with customers.

In one of the seats by the window, an ordinary-looking middle-aged man and a woman with pretty eyes who appeared to be in her early twenties were sitting and waiting.

A middle-aged man pouring a glass of wine opened his mouth in a blunt tone.

“It’s too busy.”

“It’s that delicious. father.”

“i get it.”

The middle-aged man gave a short answer and took a sip of his drink.

The man didn't like crowded places, so he didn't look good the whole time he entered the store.

But my only daughter highly recommended it, so I couldn't help but come.

At that time, Jeomsoi came to where they were, carrying a large tray.

“You’ve waited a long time.”

There were two bowls of dongpo pork and duck broth noodles on the tray.

The middle-aged man, who smelled the scent coming from Dongpoyuk, nodded.

“The scent isn’t bad.”

“Yes? “Where’s the stuff I asked you to pack earlier?”

In response to the woman’s question, Jeomsoy pointed toward the kitchen and said.

“It could get cold, so my host is keeping it in a steamer, so please let me know when you leave. “Then enjoy it.”

Jeomsoy was busy, so he rushed to the kitchen.

When Jeomsoy left, the middle-aged man spoke disapprovingly.

“You didn’t come to give Abby a taste, you came to take care of him.”

“no way. It goes both ways. Even Confucius likes this Dongpo Pork.”

“You are not yet an outsider.”

“Hey. “Father, you’re not jealous, are you?”

“joy!”

The middle-aged man frowned at the woman's words and then took a sip of his drink in silence.

And I took my chopsticks to Dongpo Pork for a snack.

The woman looked at the middle-aged man with eyes full of anticipation.

A woman cried out in delight when she saw one of the eyebrows of a middle-aged man chewing on dongpo meat in his mouth.

“It’s delicious, right?”

“........”

It was her father who couldn’t lie.

She was picky enough to call herself a gourmet, but she was satisfied as she kept putting her chopsticks to Dongpo Pork without saying whether it was delicious or not.

While eating like that, she asked.

“Father, won’t you go into the castle with me?”

“That guy alone is enough to protect you.”

“I told my son-in-law that he was that guy again.”

“joy.”

Despite his attitude, she secretly liked him.

This was because his love for love was recognized by his father.

It was a special feeling to be recognized as a son-in-law, but also to be recognized for inaction.

Otherwise, he would never be let into the Martial Alliance's castle alone.

“Hey. all right. Still, I took ‘them' too, so take it with you when you go back. “Woohyun will really like it.”

“You’re exploiting your father.”

“If it’s not me, who else would I ask for this?”

The middle-aged man snorted at her words.

While they were eating happily, a group of people who had just entered the store took a seat at a table near the father and daughter.

The ones wearing swords were warriors.

In fact, even if they weren't there, the guesthouse was overflowing with martial artists.

This was because martial people from all sects and factions gathered for the election of the head of the clan and the martial arts convention that would be held tomorrow.

The new group of martial artists who had settled in began to chatter after placing their orders.

Then, naturally, I had no choice but to listen to their conversation.

“Did you hear? “The small sword ship has appeared again.”

“No, is that really true?”

“They said so. “Rumors have already spread widely within the castle.”

“Hey. Then we can see Sogeomseon at the competition tomorrow.”

“I guess so. “I heard that he is the youngest among the existing six masters, and I will see his face in this competition.”

As their conversation was filled with anticipation, the woman shook her shoulders for no reason.

This is because he felt that the story about Sogeomseon was his own work.

While I was feeling so proud,

“But did you hear that? “They said that Sogeomseon came with a great Yeohyeop.”

“Women’s cooperative?”

“okay. “It is said that one of the Samhwas had such great inaction that Mo Yong-hye could not move. I heard that he is also a female master of Botamun.”

As their conversation unfolded, the woman's hand naturally went towards the glass of wine.

I was in a hurry out of anxiety for some reason, but the situation I had feared turned out to be true.

I shouldn't have left it alone either.

She took a sip of her drink.

“Oh really? “So, is that woman from Sogeomseon?”

“Everyone says that when they see Sogeomseon clinging to Sogeomseon and acting cute, it looks like he is betrothed.”

“Foot!”

The woman squirted out the alcohol she was holding.

-Kwasik!

Not only that, the wine glass in the middle-aged man's hand shattered.

People around them looked at the father and daughter with puzzlement.

Either way, the woman jumped up from her seat.

“father. “I need to go right away.”

The middle-aged man also stood up following her.

The middle-aged man spoke with a scary, stern face.

“Abby is going too.”

‘...He's a human blood demon.'

Su Yingying was completely embarrassed inside.

A human being who has transcended the blood religion and is being reborn as the leader of the Sa Sect has now joined the Murim Alliance, which can be said to be the center of the martial faction faction, and has become a candidate for the leader.

‘oh my god.'

She was extremely embarrassed.

If this fact were to become known, the Murim Federation would be turned upside down.

The absurd situation that a blood demon became a candidate for the leader of the martial arts alliance became true.

It was a major incident that had to be reported immediately to anyone other than her brother.

She looked at Nangung Ga-hee, who continued to exclaim in exclamation.

‘I can't say this.'

It wasn't a story I could discuss with anyone.

I had no idea what this person was thinking.

‘Are you really planning to devour the Wulin Federation?'

If that was the case, it was no different from the worst evil in the world, regardless of the fact that he was my brother.

If my brother becomes the leader of the Murim Alliance, it would be like taking control of the martial faction without even going to war.

Even though he is her older brother, it is truly absurd.

‘no. ‘Not this.'

I guess I need to stop it.

I could barely understand becoming a blood demon or the son-in-law of an evil person, but this was not the case.

Isn’t the line something that should be kept?

They would understand if we said there would be a truce between political factions.

However, the blood demon was not really the leader of the martial arts league.

[Aaaah. Young Mae. If you do well, won’t you become the older brother of the youngest leader of the martial arts league?]

Namgoong Gahee, who didn’t know how she felt, made a fuss.

If it weren't for the Blood Demon, she would have shrugged her shoulders, but from her perspective, she felt like she was walking a tightrope.

I wonder what will happen if my brother's identity is revealed.

Meanwhile, Lee Jeong-gyeom spoke to Hoyang Jin-in again.

“So, if Sogeomseon Sounhwi wins the final match tomorrow, he will become the leader of the main clan.”

To those words, the second elder, Plum White Sword Hoyang Jinin, nodded and answered.

“I see.”

-Roaring!

Everyone could not hide their surprise at those words.

I don't know the outcome, but it was possible that the youngest leader in the martial arts league would be born.

Naturally, it was bound to become a topic of discussion for the current head and deputy heads, who could be considered the next generation to lead the Murim Federation.

“Isn’t this really going to make Sogeomseon the leader?”

“If that happens, it will be really great.”

At their reaction, Jin Yong, the grandson of the vice leader Yeolwangpaedo, raised his voice in bewilderment.

“Don’t say nonsense. “No matter how strong So Woon-hwi has become, do you think he can defeat my grandfather, or my vice-lord, or even the former leader?”

Some family heads also nodded as if they agreed with his words.

It was certainly great to be a candidate, but the other candidates, Yeolwangpaedo Jin-gyun and Infinite First Sword Baek Hyang-muk, were people who had maintained the top position in Martial Arts for a long time.

It was difficult to imagine such world-beating experts losing.

At that time, Hoyang Jinin spoke.

“Hmm… I was planning to reveal this at the competition tomorrow, but I guess I can’t help it.”

“What do you mean?”

“The vice-leader has given up on being a leader.”

Everyone could not hide their surprise at his words.

Jin Yong, the grandson of the Vice Lord, was even more unable to understand what Hoyang Jin-in said.

Recently, his grandfather had longed for the position of leader.

But there was no way I could give up on this easily.

“That can't be possible! Why did the vice-lord suddenly give up his position as leader?”

In response to his question in protest, Hoyang Jinin sighed and answered as if there was nothing he could do.

“The vice-leader has already competed with Sogeomseon.”

“You competed? Then no way...”

“That’s right. “The vice-lord has been defeated.”

‘!!!'

The crowd was so agitated that it could not even be compared to before.

A major incident occurred that they were not aware of.

Just seven months ago, in a guesthouse, Jin-Gyun and So-Geom-Seon informally competed and ended in a draw, which was still talked about.

However, in just seven months, that advantage was clearly divided.

It was natural for everyone to be surprised.

“.......Nonsense.”

Jinyong was so shocked that he could not easily accept this fact.

He couldn't believe that his grandfather, whom he respected and followed, was defeated by a newcomer who had only been in martial arts for less than two years.

Nangung Ga-hee was so excited that she shook Su Ying-ying as if it were her own business.

[Young Hawk! If this continues, Young Mae’s older brother could really become the leader. oh my god. huh? Spiritualist?]

So Youngyoung was actually dumbfounded.

If he has defeated both the Ten Kings and Jingyun, isn't he really on the verge of becoming a leader?

‘.......How can I do this?'

I didn't know if I would really become a leader like this.

Accommodation for only VIPs within the Moorim League.

After returning from the headquarters, I was chatting with Seolbaek over dinner.

She said with exclamation after hearing my story.

“How on earth did you do it? Doesn’t that mean that the brain pillar will move as you want?”

“I don’t know anything about that.”

There was no need to tell them that it was controlled by the Four-Right Sword.

Although my trust in her had increased, there was no reason to reveal my true origins yet.

Seolbaek said in an expression of disappointment at my answer.

“I guess you don’t trust me yet.”

“Because you didn’t tell me everything either.”

“That’s included in the deal.”

“Are you planning on not opening your mouth until you meet King Gyeong?”

In response to my words, she licked her chopsticks obscenely with her tongue and said,

“There is a faster way. “If you spend a hot night with me right now, I can let you know.”

.........Whew.

Quite a bit.

Whenever I get a chance, I will try to seduce you.

I didn't respond to her words and just shoved the rice into my mouth as if I didn't want to deal with her.

Seeing me like that, Seolbaek muttered as if he was disappointed.

“I don’t know why you want to go back and take the easy way out.”

“Why don’t you give up like that?”

“I like you.”

“............”

“What’s wrong with wanting a man you like?”

When I say this, I really have nothing to say.

If he wants to revive the Bukhae Ice Palace and have an heir, he has an alternative justification: King Gyeong, but he keeps blatantly courting me, saying he wants me, which is extremely embarrassing.

Why do you like me so much?

I was skeptical, but if I keep talking about this, it will only give me room to dig into it.

I need to change the topic.

“Do you have any clue as to why he is doing this by calling his former leader?”

She sighed and laughed at my question.

It must be because he realized my intention.

“I don't know. “No matter how much you are his confidant, you don’t know everything going on.”

Although she knew the circumstances surrounding the situation, she did not know exactly what Geumsangje had planned.

Geum Sang-je was really thorough.

This is because he does not reveal all of his plans even to his few confidants.

-Or maybe he's hiding it.

Namcheoncheolgeom’s voice rang in my head.

Well, that might be the case.

I don't completely trust Seolbaek.

So, various measures were taken of their own.

-widely!

Seolbaek put down his chopsticks and said.

“It would be better not to let down your guard.”

“absence?”

“I know you’re trying to use the thunderbolt as bait, but do you think he won’t notice?”

“Like you said, if he’s not here, it would be hard to notice right away.”

Shiryeongeom has the ability to deceive people.

In addition, he taught me some of Jeongyao Hwanui-gyeong's techniques from time to time, so even if he was not as successful as me, it is possible to deceive his enemies.

That's why I trusted it and left it to you.

And Seolbaek doesn't know about her, but with Okhyeong's ability, I share a gaze with Silyeongeom.

Just in case we come into contact with them at any time.

“Anyway, tomorrow we’ll find out what he’s up to.”

He knows that I have appeared, and he will know that one of his bases has been destroyed by now, so he will not show himself hastily.

After all, what did they do to their former leader?

According to what she said, they have recently succeeded in raising the level of brainwashing even experts who have reached the realm of superhumans with illusion poison.

Fortunately, it is said that most of the extra phantom poison was used up in that way.

Since the blood lord has died, he may be targeting Dang Woo-jin, the deputy head of the Tang family, as a replacement, so he has placed a lot of open beggars around him, and you will find out if you watch.

At that time, I felt a presence outside.

Seolbaek must have sensed this as well as I looked at the door.

Soon, someone opened the door and came in without even knocking.

“You fucking come...Ah!”

She was none other than So Youngyoung.

I knew it was her because of her unique aura.

When Yeongyeong saw me with Seolbaek, he was about to scream but then closed his mouth.

“oh. “Forever.”

Yeongyeong smiled awkwardly and said at Seolbaek’s call.

“Ahaha. “There was also a sister.”

“I was having dinner with my brother. “Has the emergency convening of the clan leaders ended?”

At that question, Youngyoung brightened up her eyes and glared at me.

What did you hear there to make that scary face?

Yeongyeong’s electric sound rang in my ears.

[Are you crazy?]

[Are you crazy?]

[Are you really trying to become the leader of the Murim Federation?]

Ah.

I didn't mention it on purpose, but I guess he knew.

Even so, since Yeongyeong is a member of the Hyeongsan faction, which is the political faction of the Samun, and a member of the Bonghwang Party of the Murim League, I tried to postpone the conversation until tomorrow's battle for the leader.

[Youngyoung. First, listen to what I have to say.]

[You don’t just listen and then sleep. Onii-sama is a blood demon. Moreover, your brother killed the leader of the time, Jeongcheon Daehyeop, and elected a new leader. How can you even think of taking that position?]

How can I explain this?

To explain everything, you have to start with the golden statue.

We have to convince him that the Wulin Federation should not fall into his hands.

Seeing Youngyoung snorting vigorously, I don’t think I can put it off.

“Snow White. “Please make room.”

Seolbaek nodded at my words.

She stood up and smiled at Youngyoung.

“Please don’t say too much to your brother. “I don’t want anyone bothering my man, no matter how much he is my sister.”

“yes?”

She was giving a serious warning with a smiling face.

Yeongyeong made an expression of bewilderment.

I am saying this because I believe that this woman, Youngyoung, is not my real sister.

[under! Did you hear? Are you my brother?]

‘........'

I think I'll get really tired if I keep sticking around.

However, we can't let him stay away from the martial arts federation.

First, I have to tell Yeongyeong the story about Geumsangje and then tell him Seolbaek’s true identity.

That was when Seolbaek was about to go out the door.

‘!?'

I jumped up from my seat.

It was because of the sound of a sword ringing in my head along with the approaching presence.

Youngyoung looked puzzled and asked me.

“What’s wrong with you, brother?”

Just like her, I heard the sound of white snow.

[Someone is approaching. Or is it someone?]

She was also frowning as if something was out of the ordinary.

Because of the sound of the sword ringing in my head, I immediately knew who it was, but it wasn't her.

This is because a person can completely capture his or her energy even if he or she tries to look at it through his or her senses.

‘Ah...'

The time period we were supposed to meet was still far away, and the meeting point was not here.

But you came into the martial arts alliance’s castle grounds.

[.......He's an unrivaled expert who can completely control his energy. What should I do?]

I shook my head in response to Seolbaek’s question.

And warned.

[No matter what happens, stay still. Don’t say anything.]

[Huh?]

She tilted her head at my words.

It's probably the first time I've seen such a strong warning.

-thud!

At that time, the door suddenly opened.

The person who opened the door was a middle-aged man whose face I had never seen before.

A young woman was coming in behind him.

When Yeongyeong saw them, he shouted in displeasure.

“What are you guys? “He came in like this without anyone even knocking on the door!”

.........I can't believe you said something like this.

This isn't important.

I caught Youngyoung as he was about to go to protest against them.

“Youngyoung.”

“Let it go, brother.”

“......It’s my father-in-law and Sima Young.”

‘!!!'

Youngyoung's eyes widened as she tried to protest at my words.

Even though my face was covered with a bast mask, I could hear the sound of the sword, so I immediately figured out their identity.

Youngyoung spoke to me with a very nervous face.

“.......Worak Sword?”

I nodded.

Youngyoung became meditative as if her soul had escaped.

It seems confusing when my father-in-law, who is notorious as one of the five evils, appears in front of me.

After hearing their identity, Seolbaek frowned and looked at me.

You probably know why I told you to keep your mouth shut.

A woman who I presumed to be Sima Ying called me, looking at Xue Bai with cold eyes.

“Confucius.”

‘Ha...'

I'm going crazy.

Where should I start solving this?
