< Episode 53: Surrender (4) >
“From now on when you deal with Mok Gyeong-un treat him like me.”
‘!?’
Everyone looked at her in surprise at the unexpected name that came out of Soyeon’s mouth above her.
Naturally I thought that people would say that they would not forgive Mok Gyeong-un for damaging the group’s face through this incident but I had no idea what this meant.
Everyone was speechless but Woo Tiger one of the Five Tigers and the representative of his confidants cautiously opened his mouth.
“miss. When dealing with Mok Gyeong-un he tells us to treat him like a young lady…”
“That’s literally it. “I’m telling you to treat Mok Gyeong-un like a superior.”
“Miss although it is your fault if you just ignore this incident…”
“Are you raising an objection?”
Woo Tiger could not hide his embarrassment at the sharp voice.
Even before this incident Wi So-yeon listened to the opinions of his subordinates without any hesitation.
No even if it wasn’t necessarily the case he was the chief disciple of Son Yun King of Myeongdo the leader of the five kings and one of the five kings so he respected his opinions under any circumstances.
But her attitude changed.
‘Are you disappointed in me?’
Are you really angry about this incident and are looking like this?
When Wu Ho-rang thought that the attitude of the woman she loved had become cold her bitterness made her heart sink.
If she had given up on this she wouldn’t have loved her.
Wu Tigress said as she got down on one knee put her hands together and took her in a hug.
“How could a subordinate object to the young lady’s order? However please allow me to at least ask why you made that decision.”
“….”
Hearing his words Wei So-yeon glanced at Woo Ho-rang and then at the other henchmen.
They too seemed curious about the reason.
She said that no matter how arbitrary the decision was she judged that it did not mean that she would not even talk about it.
“We joined hands with Mok Kyung-un.”
“yes? If you said that you held her hand…. did Mo Kyung-un decide to come under the young lady’s control?”
Woo Tiger was surprised and asked this question.
It was Mok Gyeong-un who accepted her confrontation with himself and openly insulted her saying she was not qualified to be the leader.
That’s why she thought they would never be together.
But the surprise didn’t end there.
“It is not affiliated with us.”
‘!?’
Everyone’s expressions hardened at Wi So-yeon’s next words.
What do you mean it’s not affiliated with Sanha?
I’m wondering
“I and Mo Kyung-un joined hands as equals. So the treatment for him is….”
“miss!”
Before she could even finish her sentence Sun Yun’s disciple Yeop Wiseon stood up and shouted as if he could no longer bear it.
Then he said:
“Anyway this isn’t it. “Miss how could someone like that…”
-puck!
“100 million!”
After being struck by a flying inkstone Ye Wishen clutched his chest and complained of his pain.
Wei So-yeon spoke coldly to him.
“I said I wouldn’t object but you ignored me until the end.”
“That’s not it…”
“scram.”
“yes?”
Ye Weishen could not hide his embarrassment at her words.
“Miss…what do you mean…”
“A subordinate who has sworn loyalty does not listen to his master’s orders and does as he pleases. “I don’t need anyone like that anymore.”
“….”
Ye Weishen’s expression turned white at her words.
She had never seen Soyeon above be this strong before.
Her shock was short-lived and Ye Weisian bit her lip.
Then she soon opened her mouth with an expression of resentment.
“How…how could you do this to me? In the meantime for the young lady…”
“Close your mouth.”
“baby…”
-thud!
“Ugh.”
He was about to say something but before he could someone stamped Ye Yuxian’s head on the floor.
That person was none other than Woo Ho-rang Ye Wi-seon’s great brother.
“Great ambassador?”
“Be quiet.”
Woo Tiger who gently urged him bowed his head and said
“Miss please forgive me. “The foolish priest will be dealt with severely.”
“…”
“Please consider what happened so far and give me just one chance.”
“…”
When Wei Shao-yeon didn’t say anything Wu Tiger grabbed Ye Wei-shen’s head tightly and urged her.
“Can’t I apologize to the lady quickly!”
“Please forgive me.”
Wei So-yeon who was looking at them like this sighed lightly and said.
“It’s the last time. If something like this happens one more time Ye Yuxian you will no longer be mine.”
“…I’ll keep that in mind.”
Ye Weishen’s expression as he bowed down and answered did not look good.
Although he succumbed to her hardness this incident was like a humiliation for him.
Her Yeop Wiseon also loved her just as much as her friend and wanted to make her his woman.
The thought that the woman she wanted so much had humiliated her in front of everyone made her mad as hell.
-Wow!
‘Me and my brother-in-law… If Master doesn’t help how can a girl with no prospects end up like this?’
As time passed he thought he would be able to control it as he wished.
However it was difficult to even expect that now.
Before she knew it Yeonmo’s feelings had degenerated into resentment.
Then Gi Ok-ryeon the eldest daughter of Yangam Gokju Gihae spoke to her carefully.
“But lady. “It is not that difficult to follow orders but as you said to ensure the hierarchy shouldn’t Mo Kyung-un also swear loyalty to the next successor the young lady?”
‘okay. Anyway how can he have an equal relationship with the young lady?’
‘Gi Ok-ryeon is right.’
Everyone looked at Wei Xiaoyeon in agreement with this sharp point.
Then she turned her head slightly to the side and answered in a quieter voice.
“…I will take care of that.”
‘!?’
Everyone couldn’t understand her answer.
Why would Wi Soyeon treat that arrogant guy who didn’t even swear loyalty like this?
However unlike them Ki Ok-ryeon’s expression as she looked at So-yeon above her became strange.
She had been friends with Soyeon above since she was young.
Maybe that’s why she was able to read Soyeon’s emotions better than anyone else.
‘…Are you embarrassed just now?’
It may not be noticeable to men but Ki Ok-ryeon noticed.
Wei Shao-yeon looked embarrassed just now.
You might not know it from the outside but that expression was a face that only appeared at such times.
At that moment Gi Ok-ryeon’s eyes widened slightly.
‘no way?’
Ki Ok-ryeon looked at Wei So-yeon.
As if trying to keep her discipline in check she is strict with everyone but with the corners of her mouth strangely raised slightly her face looks extra shiny and beautiful than usual.
Ki Ok-ryeon opened her mouth slightly.
‘under….’
She was sure.
Wi So-yeon’s reaction.
It was clearly the kind of appearance that could only come out if you liked someone.
And it seemed like it wasn’t just a matter of love.
They say that a well-behaved cat goes up to the stove first.
‘She acted like she wasn’t interested in men at all but look at this…’
It was truly amazing.
She was almost tempted to ask about this and that not as a relationship between master and subordinate but as a friend.
What on earth happened while they were passed out?
Her expression soon changed.
‘ah!’
If you think about it for a moment isn’t this a good thing in some way?
Gi Ok-ryeon’s eyes turned to Woo Ho-rang.
She admired Woo Ho-rang.
The only person who knew this fact was Wi So-yeon.
The reason she told her was because she began to have suspicions that Wu Tiger had feelings for her master Yu Xiaoyun that she should not have.
Therefore she deliberately revealed her feelings to Soyeon above her.
That way no matter how much of a lord she was she thought that So-yeon above would not covet her even if she knew about the love of the man she was in love with.
‘…Did it go well?’
Ki Ok-ryeon’s eyes sparkled as she looked at her friend Woo Ho-rang.

Sponsorship of the manor’s guesthouse.
There Ye Wishen spoke to her own ambassador Wu Horang with a flushed face as if she could not bear her anger.
“The ambassador type. Does this make sense? “Mok Gyeong-un’s son isn’t enough so what’s the point of joining hands with Confucius Jang Neung-ak?”
“Be quiet.”
As his voice grew louder Woo Tiger gently admonished him.
As for Woo Ho-rang her expression wasn’t that bright either.
He was already distraught because of his lord Wi So-yeon’s first declaration but not only that but his intention to join hands with the Jang Neung-ak faction the faction with which he was fiercely fighting made his head more complicated.
‘Why on earth are you doing that?’
I couldn’t understand it at all.
Even though her forces were the most pushed back it was still unknown.
Although the reason was unknown and he did not like it if he had joined hands with Mok Gyeong-un it would have been like gaining the support of the Baek family led by King Amjong and King Seomdog.
In that case it would have been superior to Jang Neung-ak’s group.
‘This alone puts the approval rating at almost 30%.’
Here if we could obtain the power of Sihyeolgok who is still maintaining a neutral position or the last member of the Five Kings it could be worth a try with the Archduke who is supported by the elders.
But why?
Is there any reason to join hands with Confucius Jang Neungak?
Confucius Jang Neungak was never a person who would compromise.
On the contrary if they wanted to come under the umbrella he would never join hands.
Wi So-yeon obviously knew that but she didn’t understand it.
Her mind was so complicated and unexpected words came out of Yeop Wiseon’s mouth.
“Ambassador… I guess our choice was wrong.”
“…what?”
“Isn’t this right?”
“What do you mean it’s not? And what do you want to say now that you made a wrong choice?”
“I thought there was a possibility if we could help her given her talent and her nature of caring for talented people. But now the young lady’s vision has become dark as if someone was blocking her view.”
Wu Tiger sighed at Ye Weishen’s words.
This guy seemed to be very mindful of what happened earlier.
Of course he could have been upset from the guy’s point of view but he was not criticizing his lord who had sworn loyalty just for today.
In response Woo Tiger gently scolded him.
“Don’t talk carelessly. It is not right to blame your lord just because you do not understand his command. And that is to belittle ourselves for our choices.”
“Aren’t you angry?”
“fury?”
“We are your confidants. However no matter how angry he is about this incident he uses the hierarchy as an excuse to decide all the things he wants and even treats my brother-in-law and I who have supported him for a long time so poorly.”
“Stop it. “No more…”
“If I were to say that you were to go under the control of Confucius Jang Neung-ak would you follow suit without a word?”
“that….”
“If I were to ask you to leave because you are opposed to that would you accept the punishment of an ambassador?”
“….”
“Isn’t it just the actions of a tyrant to always draw a line saying that no objection can be raised like this and to not allow even a remonstrance as a subordinate? “I cannot accept this situation.”
“you!”
“I think this is an issue that needs to be reported to Master and consider whether or not to continue to support him.”
“That’s too much!”
This time Woo Horang’s voice became louder.
Then Ye Wi-seon gave a bow and struck quickly.
“The story ends here. Rather Master told me to bring my brother-in-law but I forgot because of that Mok Gyeong-un guy.”
“what? “Why are you talking about it now?”
“Just like the ambassador I was knocked out by the guy and I should have had time to speak.”
Woo Tiger clicked his tongue at Ye Wei-seon’s words.
And then I became worried.
Although I felt like my relationship with Wei So-yeon had become somewhat strained because of today’s incident I couldn’t help but worry that they might cause an accident and further distance us.
In response Wu Tiger spoke to Ye Weishen in a warning tone.
“I’m telling you just in case go to Master and don’t be hasty for no reason.”
“….”
“You really…”
As they were about to urge Ye Weishen someone called them.
“You two haven’t gone yet?”
That someone was none other than Gi Ok-ryeon the wife of Gi-hae of Yangamgokju.
When Ki Ok-ryeon came Yeop Wi-seon shut his mouth.
There was no one among her confidants who did not know that she was actually So-yeon’s right-hand woman.
As a result Yeop Wiseon who was worried that he might have overheard the story or his true intentions would be discovered tried to move on.
“I was going to go” she said. “Let’s go to ambassadorial punishment.”
“i get it.”
“Oh brother just wait a moment.”
First of all Wu Tiger who was about to go back with Ye Weishen stopped.
When Yeo Wi-seon made a sign urging her to go Ki Ok-ryeon smiled and said.
“It will only take a moment so take your time first.”
“Whoa.”
At this Yeop Wiseon shook his head and left the patronage first.
Then Woo Tiger asked.
“Why are you doing that?”
“I just wanted to tell you not to be too upset about what happened today.”
“Heartbroken?”
Woo Tiger was puzzled by Ki Ok-ryeon’s words and asked a question.
Then she said Ki Ok-ryeon widened her eyes and tilted her head.
“Are you okay?”
“…What does that mean?”
“It seems that you have chosen a man named Mo Kyung-un as your companion. Didn’t Brother Wu also notice it?”
“what?”
Woo Ho-rang’s eyes changed at her words.
Should I say that she has become much fiercer than before?
Seeing his reaction the corner of Gi Ok-ryeon’s mouth twitched slightly but she quickly hid it.
Gi Ok-ryeon stopped acting and covered her mouth with both hands and said.
“Oh my… how can I do this? “You didn’t know.”
“What the hell… is that…”
Woo Horang’s voice was trembling.
There was a strange anger in her voice along with her disappointment.
Looking at him like this Ki Ok-ryeon said as if she was embarrassed.
“I thought Brother Wu and everyone else knew but it seems like they didn’t. “I think I made a pointless mistake.”
Even as she said this her eyes did not leave Woo Ho-rang.
She couldn’t miss this opportunity.
An opportunity to delve into his heart by making him realize that his feelings for Wi So-yeon are futile.
If you miss this you won’t be able to make this man yours.

-Click click!
A cold-looking girl appeared wearing thin chains wrapped around her body like clothes.
When she appeared with her short hair and a strange appearance with half of her hair turning white both Go Chan who was possessed by Jang Neung-ak and Wi Maeng-cheon who was possessed by Ho Jong-hyuk could not help but feel nervous.
That’s right too
‘Cheongryeong?’
They instinctively knew that the level of this girl’s vengeful spirit had reached the level of a blue spirit.
As those with a low level of soul they could not help but feel a strange sense of fear beyond their guard.
Gao Chan cautiously asked Mo Kyung-un.
“Master. “What about this girl…”
-girl? Who’s calling me a girl now?
The girl suddenly rolled her eyes and raised her voice at this high praise.
Despite his simple actions Gochan flinched and took a step back due to the cold and tremendous spiritual power he felt.
-This Confucius is a man.
“man?”
What makes you think this is a man?
Anyone could see that she was a girl.
however
“Just do it in moderation.”
Let Mok Gyeong-un warn you.
-Master!
The girl immediately clung to Mok Gyeong-un and rubbed her face like a cat.
Mo Kyung-un pushed him away with an expressionless face.
Then the girl said with a sad look on her face.
-I waited a long time.
Mok Gyeong-un seemed not to be at all bothered by the grizzled girl’s outbursts and pointed to those lying on the floor.
“Gyu Soha.”
-yes.
The girl was Gyu So a vengeful soul born in solitude on the cliffs of Sihyeolgok.
Mok Kyung-un continued speaking.
“Take possession of a useful body among these. “I think the author over there will be fine.”
The person Mok Kyung-un pointed to was a muscular man with his face pressed to the floor.
He was Go Yeon-hu a member of the Five Tigers the greatest latter-day exponent of the Cheonjihoe.
Gyu So-ha who was looking at Go Yeon-hu closely at Mo Gyeong-un’s words immediately said with a disapproving expression.
-Master. Could it be that one of those two doesn’t work?
The two that Kyu So-ha pointed to were none other than Ha Chae-rin who was kneeling and blinking with an expression of incomprehension and Seo Hye-in the leader of the evil premiere troupe of the Five Music Association.
At Gyu So-ha’s words Cheong-ryeong who was watching from inside the wooden doll clicked his tongue and said to Mo Gyeong-un.
-Look at this. rebirth. This bitch is right.
