Absolute Sword Sense Chapter 304

[Episode 99: Youngest Leader Candidate (2)]

Inside the castle of the Murim Alliance.

It was like that outside the castle, but the inside of the castle was noisy as well.

“Did you hear?”

“They said a small sword ship appeared?”

“At this time?”

“Huh. “Oh my…”

The news that the Eight Great Master Sogeomseon So Unhwi had appeared quickly spread throughout each ministry and party within the Martial Arts League.

In particular, each party was in chaos.

Tomorrow was the day of the election of the head of the party.

Before that day, the person who had been missing for nearly seven months appeared.

The camp of the five candidates for the election of the grand party leader was not happy with this fact at all.

That’s because a being with overwhelming fame has appeared.

This position of grand leader was the highest position after the leader, vice leader, and general, and was an opportunity to select representatives of young warriors in their twenties or thirties.

As such, it was a situation that those who were running for the position of head of the family had no choice but to pay close attention to.

Nokhyeondang’s office.

Those in green uniforms spoke to the young man with a mustache with a serious look on their faces.

“Head of the family! “Isn’t this taking away all the attention?”

“That’s right. “It’s a visible feat to show up just in time for the day when the head of the party is elected after not being seen for a while.”

“It is clearly unfair to show up on election day instead of meeting the application date. “We must immediately go to the military and protest.”

They unanimously expressed the same opinion.

The mustachioed young man was Peng Wu-jin, the head of Nokhyeondang and the Hebei Peng family.

He tried not to show it, but he was just as embarrassed on the inside.

‘I’m going crazy.’

Even so, the competition between the former leader’s disciples, Lee Jeong-gyeom of Cheongryongdang and Mo Yongsu of Hwangryongdang, who were the most likely to be the next leader, was fierce as they had to compete with Jinyong’s grandson, Jinyong of Maenghodang.

Meanwhile, the small sword line was almost a foul.

The classes were so different.

‘Are you aiming for the position of head of a large clan while becoming an expert in eight major clans?’

Of course, it’s not that I don’t understand.

So Unhwi, who is only in his early twenties, lacks the experience to rise to the rank of vice-leader or leader in the conservative martial arts league.

Even in his opinion, he was suitable for the position of head of the family.

However, my pride did not allow me to show it openly here.

“stop.”

“Head of the family?”

“The head of this family can relinquish the position of head of the family at any time if a more qualified person appears than me.”

I think I will be satisfied only if I show the quality of a gentleman like this.

How confident it looks.

Peng Woo-chan, the deputy head of Nokhyeondang and his younger brother, spoke to him.

“Don’t say things you don’t mean. older brother. “It’s not something that can be done just by pretending to be calm and making excuses.”

“…Do you have to dig hard like that to get rid of the pain?”

“This is not the time for pride.”

“…….”

In the end, Nokhyeondang decides to send party members to protest by military war.

There were too many things at stake in the position of head of the great clan to just give up.

Meanwhile, the office of the vice leader of the Murim League.

Vice leader Yeolwangpae also doesn’t seem comfortable with the fungus.

Jin Gyun opened his mouth while looking at Sima Zhongxian, the commander of the Yi army, who was sitting on his right.

“In the end, Sogeomseon also arrived.”

“……..”

“Try to say something.”

“…….It’s my mistake. “I had no idea there would be so many variables.”

The military Sima Zhongxian could not bear to say that the biggest variable among the variables was Jingyun.

At that time, if he had not fallen for the tricks of Commander-in-Chief Bang Deok-hyeon, he would have been able to elevate the vice leader to the leader, even if only to calm some negative public opinion.

But now it has become a three-way battle.

“It’s a mistake… but can I ask you a question?”

“What do you mean?”

“Why did you contact the former leader that night?”

“……That is…..”

“Is there something you wanted to say so urgent that we had to meet separately instead of reporting to me?”

Vice leader Gyun Gyun’s eyes are full of doubt.

Seeing him like that, the military officer Sima Zhongxian could not help but feel embarrassed.

In fact, he couldn’t bear to report and contact the former leader because the vice leader Jingyun’s fighting spirit was heightened.

‘What can I do with this?’

For vice-major Jin Gyun, former leader Baek Hyang-muk was no different from his enemy.

We were no longer comrades who held hands together.

‘Did I look at the wrong person?’

I thought it would be different if he was only focused on nothing.

However, Vice President Jingyun, who entered politics in earnest, was quite different from before.

Did you say that a place makes a person?

He was hoping for increasingly higher power.

He didn’t seem to know it himself yet, but as he stayed by his side, he was gradually feeling it with his own skin.

I remember the conversation I had with my former leader last night.

[Leave me alone.]

[Huh? Why? It would be better if the Daehyeop met with the vice leader and persuaded him…]

[It’s already too late for that.]

[But if things continue like this, Bang Deok-hyeon’s tricks may tear the group to pieces.]

[I came here to avoid that.]

Former leader Muhan First Sword Baek Hyang-muk told him to trust himself.

I was trying to figure out what he meant, but I couldn’t figure out anything from just a few minutes of conversation.

I wanted to ask, but the former leader also thought of himself as the vice leader, so he didn’t say much.

For now, I had to hope that the former leader had a good plan.

“I’m sorry for not being able to tell you. “But I didn’t meet the former leader for reasons I can never tell.”

“if?”

“I advised the former leader to give up and not fall for the tricks of Commander-in-Chief Bang Deok-hyeon.”

Of course this was true.

This is what I said as soon as I met my former leader.

Hearing his words, Vice Lord Jingyun spoke in a slightly softened voice.

“What did you say?”

“……He said he would compete with the vice-lord.”

At his words, veins appeared on Vice Lord Gyun Gyun’s face.

The speculation was leaking out little by little, but it was almost suffocating.

Even so, his enthusiasm has been building to the point where he has been confined to his private practice hall lately.

“It’s this guy and that guy, let’s try them all.”

‘ha. ‘There’s nothing I can do.’

There seemed to be no way to stop this three-way battle any longer.

At the same time, the military building.

The office of the Commander-in-Chief is on the last floor.

Through the window of his office, Commander-in-Chief Bang Deok-hyeon was looking outside with a rather serious expression.

A middle-aged man with a sharp expression asked him.

“……In the end, he showed up.”

“It’s the only variable.”

Bang Deok-hyeon clicked his tongue.

I tried to find out his whereabouts through Gwak Hyeong-jik of the Northern Yeongdoseong.

But in the end it failed.

That means they were prepared for this situation.

‘You met your match in your later years.’

For the first time in a long time, I felt my blood boiling.

I could say with exaggeration that I was second to none when it came to tactics and strategic planning, but I ended up failing on several occasions.

It is as if he is looking at his best disciple, former general general Zhuge Yuanming.

He wasn’t usually a very resourceful guy.

‘What on earth is it?’

I couldn’t know for sure the guy’s identity.

His birth and identity were too accurate to say he was a descendant of Geomseon, as he guessed.

There were so many people who even saw his childhood.

‘hmm.’

Despite this clear identity, there is too much overlap with their actions.

In any case, it was clear that it would be a hindrance to his cause.

I had to take this opportunity to definitely nip it in the bud.

Then the middle-aged man asked.

“If this happens, it will be a three-way battle. Are you okay with that?”

In response to his question, Commander Bang Deok-hyeon turned his head from the window and said,

“We have to prevent that from happening.”

“Do you have a double eye?”

“This is what this old man should have done, but he just turned his hand away.”

“You already guessed it. “You are truly a master of brains.”

The military had to always look ahead.

Of course, there was a plan prepared in advance to prepare for such a situation.

We’ll have to wait and see if he can escape this move.

* * *

-What should I do?

It’s so embarrassing.

If you look at Yeongyeong’s expression, you can see his angles.

He was reacting this way because he knew I had a fiancé.

I thought there was some kind of plot going on, but I never thought it would come out like this.

I immediately sighed as I glared at Seolbaek, who had an innocent expression on his face.

I have to calmly draw the line here.

“I think I misunderstood something, but we have nothing to do with each other.”

Youngyoung looked at my words with suspicion and said.

“……Really?”

“Should I lie to you about this?”

“Well, there’s no way your brother would leave his fiancé behind and turn a blind eye to another woman.”

As she said this, Yeongyeong was looking at Seolbaek, not me.

It’s as if he’s the one who owns it so don’t mess with it.

When I found out that Sima Ying was a woman, I couldn’t help but feel disappointed and had tears in my eyes. I don’t know when we became so comfortable with each other.

At that time, Seolbaek smiled brightly and said.

“That’s why I’m trying so hard to seduce your brother. An engagement is just an engagement.”

‘!?’

For a moment, there was silence around.

It’s not that my bones hurt, it hurts.

Looking at Seolbaek’s smiling eyes, I saw that he was enjoying this situation.

Yeongyeong, who was speechless and shocked, tried to shout at Seolbaek with a flushed face, perhaps in anger.

“This fire…!”

Namgoong Gahee covered Yeongyeong’s mouth.

As he struggled to let go, Namgoong Kahi whispered a warning.

“Young Mae. “There’s a lot of attention.”

Youngyoung’s eyes moved left and right.

Just as she said, all the eyes of the people around her were turned towards this place.

Yeongyeong seemed to be aware of that as well and nodded.

I sent a message to Seolbaek.

[If you don’t do it right, you will pay the price.]

At my words, Seolbaek shrugged his shoulders and sent a message.

[It’s cute.]

[Cute?]

[It’s good to make fun of… A cute sister-in-law like that is always welcome.]

With those words, she narrows her eyes at me.

‘……..’

What is a welcome?

It’s as if they’ve had a consanguineous marriage.

This woman secretly doesn’t know how to give up.

-Can you handle a 300-year-old fire fox?

okay. As you said, Sodamgeom is not ordinary.

Maybe it’s because of his age.

Anyway, there is a lot of attention here, so I need to get out of there quickly.

If people start talking about it, you will end up getting caught up in gossip.

“Let’s go inside the castle first.”

As I hurriedly took Yeongyeong to the gate of the Murim League, I saw one or two groups of people approaching.

One group of them was made up of women, and upon seeing this, Namgoong Gahee raised one eyebrow and muttered.

“Maehyangdang.”

Maehyangdang?

I’ve heard of it.

Even before the return, the Wulin Federation had five parties made up entirely of women.

The most popular among them were Bonghwangdang and Maehyangdang, but their relationship was not so smooth that everyone in the know knew about it.

This was because the female wives of the Namgung family and the Moyong family, who were family rivals among the five major families, were the heads of the families.

‘Is that woman Mo Yong-hye?’

I think it’s that damn bastard’s sister.

He resembles my older brother Mo Yong-su, so his eyes and his facial expression are fierce.

Of course, compared to Baek Hye-hyang, she was like a child.

But what party is that? He was wearing something similar to leopard print, but it was a party uniform I had never seen before.

But I know who their leader is.

-That’s not him. He’s the grandson of an old man who is said to be the leader of the kings.

right.

I guess it’s a newly established party.

Before returning, both Jinyong and Yeolwangpaedo were not members of the Wulin Federation in the first place.

Knowingly or not, it is gradually becoming a history that I do not know.

But why are those two groups approaching me as if they have something to do?

Jinyong walked towards me with long strides and spoke to me.

“What kind of face did you come here with?”

It’s really still the same.

From his point of view, it may only be seven months, but regardless of the difference in capabilities, his attitude toward me remains the same as Song Jwa-baek.

“Lord Meng Haodang! “What kind of attitude are you having towards your brother?”

Youngyoung urged the guy.

Seeing Youngyoung like that, the guy frowned.

Judging by their reactions, it seems like they know that Youngyoung is my sister.

The guy who belatedly discovered the leader of the Bonghwangdang, Namgung Ga-hee, and party member Eon Young-in, lightly took the gun and said,

“I didn’t know there were people from Phoenix Hall.”

Namgoong Gahee spoke to the guy’s words.

“I thought for the first time that the leader of Meng Haodang was close to Iri So Daehyup.”

“What is friendship?”

Jinyong snorted, denied it, and then said to me.

“Are you sure you came here aiming to become the head of the great clan?”

I frowned at that guy’s words.

I wonder if this guy doesn’t know.

If that’s the case, it seems like Jingyun didn’t even tell his grandchildren about it.

Well, this guy’s mouth doesn’t seem that heavy.

Yeongyeong said to Jinyong with a smile.

“Hey. why? “Aren’t you worried that my brother might apply to be the head of the family?”

Are you afraid that my brother will become the head of the great clan? Jinyong’s expression became horribly distorted at the tone.

It looks like he has also registered as a candidate for the head of the party.

“Who is saying that about worrying? I think I would at least care about my brother, Phoenix Bujuju. That position is….”

“It is the position of my brother and the head of the Blue Dragon Party, Lee Jeong-gyeom.”

Then someone intervened.

She was Mo Yong-hye, the head of Maehyangdang.

She was the one who praised her older brother, Mo Yong-su, out of fear that he might not be her blood relative.

In response, Namgoong Gahee said in a sarcastic voice.

“Contrary to what he said, the head of Maehyangdang personally came all the way here. He seems worried that our spirit’s brother has come.”

“worry? under! “I just came to see So Dae-hyeop, whose whereabouts have been unknown for seven months.”

With those words, Mo Yong-hye took control of me.

If I were So Woon-hwi, I would have accepted greetings from everyone in such a high-profile place, but I can’t bear to do that.

If you look at the burning eyes of Namgoong Gahee and Yeongyoung.

It really seems like they don’t get along very well.

Mo Yong-hye, who looked a little sarcastic when I did not receive her greeting, said to me.

“But the So Daehyup, who disappeared without a word even when the vice-leader position was elected, is unlikely to have come to aim for the position of grand leader, right?”

“Why are you anxious?”

Yeongyeong shot at her.

At this, Mo Yong-hye chuckled and spoke loudly as if everyone could hear.

“Is there anything more interesting than a person who has declined the position of vice-lord and covets the position of head of the clan, which is a position below that, and applies as a candidate? “Isn’t that right?”

Now I understand Mo Yong-hye’s purpose.

He came out of the castle on purpose to stir up public opinion.

They were afraid that I might try to be elected to the position of head of the party, so they tried a trick to prevent this.

“you!”

The moment Youngyoung couldn’t stand her trick and got angry, he said,

“Ahahahahaha.”

Suddenly, Seolbaek held his stomach and laughed.

Seeing her like that, Mo Yong-hye must have felt uncomfortable and glared at her with harsh eyes and said.

“Who are you smiling like that?”

To that question, Seolbaek spoke to me without even looking at her.

“What are you doing, getting involved in the babies’ fight?”

“Babies?”

At her words, Mo Yong-hye’s expression became horribly distorted.

There were a lot of people watching around her, but she seemed to think she had been insulted and put her hand to the sheath of the sword she was wearing at her waist.

“It’s hard to just ignore those words right now.”

Seolbaek coldly sneered at her and said,

“Hey. “If you don’t take your hand off the scabbard, you will regret it.”

How could you just ignore that?

“dare!”

It was the moment when Mo Yong-hye was about to draw her sword.

Before she knew it, Seolbaek had come up behind her and was pretending to grab her neck.

Everyone, including Namgoong Gahee and Eonyeong Yeongyeong, could not hide their surprise at the sight.

Of course, the same was true for Jinyong.

With their capabilities, they cannot detect Seolbaek’s movements at all.

“Head of the family!”

The members of Maehyangdang were so shocked that they tried to pull out their weapons.

Then Seolbaek glared at them lightly.

There was no way they could handle the momentum of an absolute master like her.

‘!!!’

The members of Maehyangdang were trembling and unable to move.

Mo Yong-hye asked with a very nervous expression.

“Da…what are you?”

Seolbaek spoke to her, putting his lips to her ear.

“I don’t know anything about that, and I’m not the type of man for you to say things like that. Do you understand? Baby.”

Overwhelming capability.

And Mo Yong-hye, who felt intimidated by the strong energy radiating from her, nodded without realizing it.

It was an explanation that neatly summarized the situation.

Looking at her like that, Youngyoung whispered to me in a voice mixed with exclamation.

“Where did you meet a sister like that?”

…….Why are you suddenly calling me sister?
