< Return to War, Episode 84 >
Those who returned to their guesthouse were truly devastated. Dan So-mi, who ran around the mountain all day, is like that, but Jang Sam-tae and Namgung So-hye, who fought fiercely inside and outside the cave, also look like beggars.
Also, Geum Geum-ran and Jin Tae-gong, who were bowing their heads as if they were feeling guilty, clearly showed signs of being tortured, so of course they couldn’t have looked fine.
Jin Taegong was covered in blood, and Geum Geum-ran kept his mouth shut and could hardly open it as he endured the throbbing everywhere.
“You’ve survived well.”
“I really thought I was going to die. Ugh… why are there so many of them…”
“It’s because of you!”
As Jang Sam-tae sat next to Dan Woo-hyeon, gulped down a glass of water and sighed, Namgung So-hye’s angry voice was heard. Looking at the eyes and expression full of resentment, I felt like I knew how things were going.
“Anyway, I came back alive, so it’s okay. “What were they doing?”
“They say he is an elder of Cheonji Church?”
“I see….”
“Elder? Was he a great guy?”
Jang Sam-tae swallowed a groan at the question of Sadohak.
Should I say that it’s amazing? Although her spirit was clearly strong, in the end she was unable to defeat Nangong Xiaohye and had her head cut off.
I didn’t feel like I was that great because I was never able to overwhelm him from the beginning until the moment he died. As he slowly shook his head, Sadohak’s expression turned sour.
“What on earth are they doing? There are no people with grand names and interesting names, such as elders and four emperors. “If I had known this would happen, I would have come and swept away Podalap Palace.”
“Hehe – doesn’t that mean you are strong? “Don’t think too deeply about it.”
Nam Gung-cheon comforted Sadohak with a soft smile. But he also had some feelings of regret.
I’ve done a lot of training so far, and I’ve reached a point where I can release things that were only in my head.
However, no one who can actually use it appears. However, since it cannot be used against Dan Woo-hyeon, the situation continues to be filled with regret.
“The relationship is strong.”
At that time, Dan Woo-hyeon smiled.
At first, I thought all I had to do was shoo away the flies. It was because it was the first time in a long time that I had left home, it was a journey to send off the three of me, and I had a strong desire to show the wide world to Dan So-mi, who had become an adult.
So I didn’t want to see unnecessary blood.
But if it gets involved like this, the story is different.
“Where are you?”
“to?”
“I mean Cheonjigyo.”
At that moment, Geum Geum-ran trembled at the words that came out of Dan Woo-hyeon’s mouth and lowered her head even more. Just making eye contact gave me an ominous feeling, as if my heart would stop.
Is that all there is?
The moment he opened his mouth, the atmosphere calmed down.
The flowing air became tense and I felt as if something was pressing heavily on my shoulders.
In the midst of that tension, Geum Geum-ran barely opened his mouth.
But is it because I’m nervous?
No voice came out of my mouth.
“They say it’s Shanxi.”
The person who accepted it on his behalf was none other than Nam Gung-cheon.
The location of Cheonji Church’s main school, which no one knew about and had been hidden away until now, came out of his mouth.
“what? Shanxi? “You mean where that guy is?”
“Hehehe – they said so. “I was quite surprised to hear that too.”
“How does this guy manage the area?”
Sadohak shook his head with a dumbfounded expression. Although he has now retired and stepped back, Shanxi is still a place where his influence is strong.
Would he be so miserable as he is the absolute monarch of Sapa?
But since the main school of Cheonjiism is said to be hidden in such a place, what could it be but a moment where his incompetence is revealed once again?
“The guy whose name is Ohwang is tsk tsk.”
“Hehe, if you look at it that way, the political faction and the demonic cult were played into the hands of those bastards, so wouldn’t it be the same thing?”
Sadohak frowned at the words he spat out with a smile. As he said, everyone has been played into their hands, so it would be correct to say that everyone is incompetent.
Sadohak glared at Namgungcheon with a harsh look, as if he was saying something trivial, but he didn’t care at all and was smiling.
At that time, the voice of Dan Woo-hyeon, who was listening to the two people’s story, was heard.
“I see… Shanxi… It’s a passing road.”
“Not really… a Deb show that doesn’t pass by? Let’s just go on our way. yes?”
At that time, Jang Sam-tae shook his head with a sour expression.
Anhui and Shanxi are quite far away. Even if you set off on the road from here to Anhui, it will take several months, but if you stop by Shanxi, the time will increase even more.
For Jang Sam-tae, who had already given up on freedom a long time ago, the desire to return as soon as possible was even greater.
Moreover, since he has found potential successors, returning to Danga can be said to be the happiest thing for him now.
“Isn’t it better than having to waste time dealing with idiots like these? Isn’t that right, old people?”
Jang Sam-tae tried his best to change Dan Woo-hyeon’s mind in any way possible. Seeing that he didn’t even respond even though he heard what he said, he turned his gaze and brought in Nangong Cheon and Sadohak.
“Well… it’s not wrong, but… you’re not going to keep bothering me, are you?”
“Hehe, that’s right. “Once they are intertwined, the martial arts will continue until one of the two is uprooted.”
“This is what the two grandfathers said is correct. “I think the same thing.”
Even Namgung Sohye came forward to help.
I’ve already bumped into it a few times and seen some blood. From the other person’s point of view, it is the same as having their pride shattered, so they will do whatever it takes to revive it.
Isn’t that the law of martial arts?
“No… but we can’t fight back and forth when Somi is there, right? is not it?”
“…yes?”
When things did not go as planned, Jang Sam-tae eventually resorted to the last resort. By attracting Dan So-mi to his side, he tried to use it as the surest way to change Dan Woo-hyeon’s heart.
But Dan So-mi raised her head with a dumbfounded expression.
Perhaps because he was tired, or because he was sleeping despite the noise, his eyes showed that he had no idea what to say in response to the sudden return of the arrow.
Then, when Namgung So-hye’s eyes met, Dan So-mi said, “Ah,” and opened her mouth as if she understood something.
“Everything you said is right… right?”
“Hoho-as expected, there is only Somi.”
I’m not interested in what was said, but if Namgoong Sohye says so, then so be it. Because in situations like this, if you follow her words, something good always happens.
As expected, Namgung So-hye came to the dazed Dan So-mi’s side and gently stroked her head, and she closed her eyes again and fell asleep.
“This is a scam!”
“What is fraud? “Somi is like that!”
“You don’t even know what you’re talking about right now?!”
“no! I know it well. Is that right, Somi?”
“Hmm… that’s right. “Everything Sohye said is correct.”
Dan So-mi, who was already unable to come to her senses, was repeating the same words. It almost feels like this kind of answer was prepared in advance.
Jang Sam-tae, who was dumbfounded, glared at Namgung So-hye harshly, but she responded with a sneer on her lips and a shrug of her shoulders.
“Then let’s go to Shanxi.”
Jang Sam-tae despaired at Dan Woo-hyeon’s words, but the others nodded with deep smiles. In particular, Nam Gung-cheon and Sadohak looked very happy, which was because they thought that there might be people within the Cheonji Church who could be their opponents.

“Ugh- I feel better now.”
It’s an unusually nice day today, so doing laundry is rewarding. As I lay out the children’s clothes and blankets in the yard, I feel relieved inside.
When I looked away, sighing as if the scent of plum was refreshing, Kwon Moo-jin, with a blank face, sat down as if tired and let out a sigh with a different meaning.
“Haa… my son…”
“Why are you acting like this? It’s unmanly.”
“No, can your body handle waking up early, hunting, grooming, sweeping and wiping the yard, watering and fertilizing the field, fishing, and even doing the laundry?”
“It’s something my husband does every day. “Didn’t you know?”
Kwon Moo-jin flinched at Maehyang’s confident words.
The only thing he does is act as a bodyguard, sometimes following Dan So-mi around, and protecting Mae-hyang and her children.
So I was able to devote most of my remaining time to training.
But was Jang Sam-tae even doing this?
“Did Janga really do all this?”
“Where is that? Even running errands for the head of the household and keeping up with the old ladies. I can’t even sleep two hours a day. i know?”
“Well… in that situation, there are two kids…”
Maehyang blushed slightly at Kwon Moo-jin’s words.
Even if you think about it, it is acceptable.
Of course, he was the one who attacked, but he didn’t do it well anyway. When I thought about it, it seemed like she was also one of the reasons why Jang Sam-tae couldn’t rest.
Big! She cleared her voice and opened her mouth awkwardly.
“Well, anyway, that’s it for today. Next… I have to go grocery shopping…”
“…?!”
The moment Maehyang was thinking about something for a moment, Kwon Mujin urgently stood in front of her and picked up a knife. And at that moment, the door suddenly opened.
“….”
“Huh?!”
Soon, a figure began to slowly walk into the open door. He was dragging something in one hand, but he quickly threw it in front of Kwon Moo-jin.
“Rain… Rain elder…?!”
“…I came and picked it up.”
“Huh!?”
The one thrown out wriggled and groaned.
It seemed like it was not unusual for him to pass out at any time, as he could barely hear his breathing.
“…it’s outside too.”
“to?!”
Kwon Moo-jin opened his eyes wide and hurriedly went outside. The area around the house was still clean and empty, but when I went a little further away, I saw dozens of corpses lying on the floor.
What on earth is going on?
In such a ridiculous situation, I rushed to the manor once again to find Maehyang, who was as tired as a stone statue, frozen and unable to say anything. Looking at Maehyang, I saw Bicheonwoong himself, who did not move and did not open his mouth.
No matter how you looked at it, the relationship between the two seemed awkward.
“Oh, old man… what the hell is this…”
Soon, Kwon Moo-jin approached him again and spoke to him, and Bi Cheon-woong quietly opened his mouth as if he had finally met someone he was comfortable with.
“…I came to see Somi, but she wasn’t there?”
“No… what on earth is this?!”
Kwon Moo-jin shouted at Bi Cheon-woong and expressed his frustration.
