Reaper of the Drifting Moon

Episode 547

While he was eating alone, someone approached his seat.

“Pyo… Daehyup?”

It was Ju Seol-pung who spoke cautiously to Pyo-wol.

“sit down!”

“Right.”

Ju Seol-pung carefully looked around and sat down in front of Pyo-wol.

Pyowol lifted his hat and looked at the snow wind.

He seemed a little haggard, probably because he was having a lot of trouble these days. But his eyes were still full of light.

“You seem to be doing well.”

“I am busy.”

“How is the Union Association?”

“sorry. No matter how much it is, I can’t tell you the situation inside the eunryeonhoe. Please understand.”

“I understand!”

“thank you. But how did you get here?”

“It’s on the way to Haerojang.”

“Ha…is that what the chief said?”

“okay!”

“ah!”

The main snow wind let out an exclamation involuntarily.

His eyes were shaking.

No matter how much he cut ties with the Jewon Corps, the safety of his great-grandmother Roh Tae-tae was still his foremost concern.

“How is your great-grandmother?”

“How are you still holding on?”

“Isn’t it very bad?”

“Looks like you’ve lost a lot of energy.”

“ah!”

The snow wind let out a sigh involuntarily.

Roh Tae-tae was already over a hundred years old.

Since he had enjoyed his life long enough, it was not strange when his lifespan ended. I was prepared that in the worst case, I would not be able to attend her funeral, but when I heard it through Pyowol’s mouth, my mood calmed down.

Pyo-wol held out a bundle to Ju Seol-pung.

“receive!”

“What is it?”

“Roh Tae-tae sent it to you. It contains tea leaves and a few more items. I sent you all of your favorites.”

“thank you. thank you.”

Ju Seol-pung gave thanks and handed over the bundle.

As if it were a rare treasure in the world, Ju Seol-pung hugged the bundle tightly.

It was as if he could feel Roh Tae-tae’s warmth in the wrapping cloth.

Snow White’s eyes turned red.

After a while, he raised his head and looked at Pyowol.

he was laughing hard

“Thank you for giving me such a precious gift. I don’t know how to repay this.”

“It’s not difficult, so what’s the reward…”

“Whoa! It may not be a big deal to Pyo Dae-hyeop, but to me it is a precious gift that cannot be exchanged for anything.”

“Then go in.”

Pyowol stood up.

Ju Seol-pung’s share in the union meeting was by no means small.

He was running a union association with Namgoongwol.

In particular, because he had been at the top for a long time, his sense of handling money and his skills in handling people were excellent.

There was so much to do that I couldn’t leave even for a moment.

At least it was Pyowol who was the one to meet, so he didn’t force himself to come out like this, otherwise he wouldn’t have dared to leave.

Knowing that fact, Pyowol stood up right away.

It was when Ju Seol-pung was about to say thanks to Pyo-wol.

Dang dang dang!

Suddenly, an urgent bell rang from the Union Hall.

It was a ringing bell signaling an emergency.

Pyowol and Juseolpung simultaneously looked at the union meeting.

Suddenly, there was a busy movement in the direction of the front gate of the union association.

In an unusually urgent movement, Ju Seol-pung packed a bundle and spoke to Pyo-wol.

“It seems that there has been a change in the meeting. Let’s go first.”

“Do it.”

“then!”

After Ju Seol-pung grabbed Pyo-wol, he hurriedly ran to the union meeting.

Left alone, Pyowol sat down again.

Now that I’ve come this far, I thought I’d go and see what was going on.

It was then.

cooong!

Suddenly, a dull air wave swept through the area.

“Keugh!”

“Hup!”

Everyone in the inn held their chests and groaned in agony.

Pyo-wol looked for the subject of Ki-pa with interesting eyes.

The source of the kipa was a man who was approaching the Silver Reunion from afar.

A man with a bold impression wearing a sword around his waist.

A mountain-like momentum emanated from him.

Pyo-wol recognized the man at once.

“Lee Geomhan!”

＊＊＊

Kwajik!

Yong Ha-sang crumpled the letter he was reading a while ago.

The correspondence was a kind of challenge.

[Yong Ha-sang Hoeju’s personal battle.

Today, I will challenge Yong Ha-sang Hoiju with the Jinju of the Unryeonhoe.

I believe that if I am not afraid, I will accept the challenge.

―Compensation for this sword.]

To put it simply, it was a story about fighting for the position of president of the Union Association.

Yong Ha-sang had no obligation to respond to this.

The gigantic force called Union Reunion was not a toy for children.

It is not something that can be handed over in just one confrontation and then received again.

Of course, Yong Ha-sang could refuse Lee Geom-han’s challenge.

The problem was face.

If the owner of Eunryeonhoe and the owner of Yongcheongok evades Lee Geomhan’s challenge, everyone will curse and criticize him for being a coward.

Face is the most useless thing in the world, but I couldn’t just ignore it.

This is because warriors do not follow those who have lost face.

That’s why sometimes I had to risk my life to save face. Such a harsh world was strong.

Furthermore, Lee Geom-han had recently been gaining a reputation as fiery.

By capturing the masters of the Geumcheonhoe one after another, the status pierces the sky.

If he shied away from such a challenge, people would look down on him and not follow him.

There weren’t many subordinates who could follow Hoe-ju, whose status had fallen to the bottom.

“under! Then, was fighting the warriors of the Geumcheonhoe one after another a paving stone for this?”

Only then did I understand why Lee Geom-han took such a reckless step.

It was truly a perfect outing.

I don’t know who drew it, but it was simple and perfect.

There was no way out anywhere.

At that time, Namgungwol, who handed over the challenge, said.

“You may refuse if you wish.”

“Don’t you know better that it can’t be? Maybe I’ll call for joy inside. Aren’t you the one who didn’t like everything I did from one to ten?”

“But I don’t want you to fight so recklessly. The position of chairman of the Union Association is not such an easy one. Even though I don’t like a few things, I still hope that you will continue to serve as president.”

“I want you to be sincere.”

“I’m serious.”

Namgungwol answered without hesitation.

Yong Ha-sang glared at Namgung-wol for a while before continuing.

“Even if that is the case, this challenge cannot be avoided.”

“river bed?”

“My face is at stake. I don’t want to hear that the successor of Yongcheon Valley avoided the challenge because he was afraid.”

Namgungwol gritted his teeth at Yong Ha-sang’s answer.

It was because I did not understand Yong Ha-sang’s words that he accepted Lee Geom-han’s challenge just because of his face.

The head of the union association was not a position that could be contested for the sake of face.

It was a position that required greater responsibility and leadership than anyone else.

It was hard to believe that he was willing to accept such a weighty fight just because of his face.

I started to doubt whether Yong Ha-sang was sane.

‘This must also be a picture my sister drew.’

It was a trap that could not be unfolded unless you properly grasped Yongha-sang’s personality. The Lee Geom-han he knew was not a person who drew such detailed pictures.

Clearly, all of these must be paintings drawn by Namgungseol.

The problem is that there is no way out of knowing that fact.

Yong Ha-sang was burning his fighting spirit with an expression that he was rather well.

Kangho people always put Jang Mu-geuk and Lee Geom-han as the best when discussing Kang-ho’s equipment.

There was only one reason.

This is because Cheonmujang and Gwangmumun, which they belong to, are two rivers in the world.

Yongcheongok, where Yong Ha-sang belongs, always puts them on top despite being members of the three troupes.

Yong Ha-sang did not like that fact.

There is no chance to stick, so if you collide head-on, you can always win.

It was clear that Namgungseol knew about it and set up this trap.

‘after! Should I hand over the union association to my sister?’

When I thought of Namgungseol, goose bumps ran through my body.

It was then.

Dang dang dang!

Suddenly, the emergency bell rang in the Union Association.

Yong Ha-sang kicked off his seat and stood up.

“Looks like you’re here.”

As he stretched out his hand, the sword that was hanging on the wall flew out and caught it in his hand.

Yong Ha-sang said, holding a sword around his waist.

“Look. How do I cook Dao Guang?”

“river bed!”

“The things you worry about won’t happen.”

After saying that, Yong Ha-sang walked outside.

“Hoe Lord!”

“The sword-bearing Confucius has appeared.”

The henchmen appeared and reported the situation outside.

Yong Ha-sang walked past them and came out.

Lee Geom-han was waiting in front of the front gate of Eunryeonhoe, surrounded by onlookers.

Geomhan Lee’s whole body was flowing with heavy momentum like a mountain.

“Lee Geomhan!”

“Long time no see. Dragon Ha!”

The two recognized each other.

Even though we didn’t actively interact with each other, we still saw each other’s faces a few times.

Yong Ha-sang walked to where Lee Geom-han was.

“I’ve been hearing a lot about you lately.”

“is it? I’ve been diligently moving these days. It seems that the rumor has reached your ears.”

“Why did you do that?”

“What do you mean?”

“I’m just going to stay at Gwangmumun, so why come all this far and mess around?”

“Breaking up?”

“If it’s not debauchery, should I call it cheating?”

“I think it would be good to think a little and then talk. It’s a problem because you always speak first without going through your brain.”

“Are you insulting me now?”

The dragon’s voice became sharper. In spite of his young voice, Lee Geom-han answered with an unwavering expression.

“No, I’m just telling the truth.”

“If I move the federation here, you are finished.”

“I guess so. But you won’t.”

“Why are you so sure? There is no reason for me to give up my advantage and fight you head-on.”

“Because you are unmanned.”

“Being unmanned…”

“Thugs and behind-the-scenes work don’t suit you. that’s me too A warrior like us proves our worth with strength.”

“I like that one.”

“What will you do? Will you accept my challenge?”

“I will accept it.”

All the soldiers nearby were surprised by Yongha-sang’s answer.

He hadn’t expected Yong Ha-sang to accept Lee Geom-han’s proposal so easily.

“what? Are you saying that the guild master is decided by just one confrontation?”

“How is something going?”

“oh my god! A showdown between So Pae-ryong and Do-gwang?”

People were excited about the unexpected confrontation of the century.

Both Lee Geom-han and Yong Ha-sang were masters rarely seen in Gangho. Their fame skyrocketed, but few actually watched them fight.

The winner gets everything and the loser loses everything.

They were lucky enough to be able to see this fight with their own eyes.

‘It turned out the way I wanted.’

Among the warlords, there was a woman who secretly smiled.

It was Namgungseol.

Namgungseol looked at Lee Geom-han’s back with eyes filled with infinite trust. But, beyond Lee Geom-han’s back, he saw an unexpected person at the window of the guesthouse.

‘The moon!’

In an instant, her smile disappeared.
