“As of today this child is Nobu’s official disciple and a new member of the main family. “Treat me like your own brother.”
‘!?’
Everyone could not hide their bewilderment at Baek Sa-ha’s words.
‘Official disciple?’
In the case of his second son Baek Xiaogang he could not have imagined such a statement from his father Baek Saha.
As expected the Baek family placed great importance on family lineage and never accepted outsiders as disciples.
In the case of his father Baek Sa-ha he also kept the tradition but he did not know that he would suddenly say that he would accept foreigners as disciples.
‘What on earth happened inside?’
Even so he was still wondering what had happened inside that had caused his father Baek Sa-ha to undergo a complete transformation.
Unless there was something there was no way the father would be this friendly towards this child.
Could it be that he gave me even a hint of enlightenment?
Baek Sa-ha said then.
“Why is there no answer?”
“Oh I understand. “We will do that.”
In Baekga the name of the head of the family was absolute.
If Baek Sa-ha the head of the family decided to do so then so be it.
Then Mok Gyeong-un intervened.
“Are you a disciple?”
“Why are you so surprised? “He has been taught by the old man so he is now a disciple.”
Hearing his words Mok Gyeong-un said in a troubled tone.
“Receiving instruction is just about the three senior trophies….”
“What is this?”
“yes?”
“If you want to teach someone with as much knowledge about poison as you you have to at least teach them the Pamadoggyeong which is the old book on poisoning but that can’t be taught to outsiders.”
“Pa… is it called Pamadoggyeong? father?”
Baek Sogang his second son was surprised to hear those words and asked.
As expected Pamadokgyeong was a vision not an ordinary martial or poisonous technique of Baekga.
The Pamadoggyeong is a poisonous technique belonging to the super-rising martial arts that can only be learned by the lineage of the original family that is qualified to become the head of the family and I couldn’t help but be embarrassed to hear that it was being taught.
“No matter how much of a benefit it is to be a senior it is….”
“Didn’t he say that he would accept me as a formal disciple? “Are you really going to vomit at the name of this family head?”
“Oh no.”
Baek Sogang was startled and waved his hand.
Baek Sa-ha the head of the family and father King Seomdog never goes back on what he has decided.
In particular if anyone tries to object to something decided by the head of the family they are made to pay with strong discipline.
‘Ahhhh.’
Mo Kyung-un clicked his tongue at Baek Sa-ha’s decision.
He had said earlier that he was repaying his debt and thought the level of repayment was greater than expected.
In response Mokgyeongun put his hands together and made a bow and said.
“Elder. I am grateful for the elder’s consideration but I am a disciple of Amjongju. “I already have a teacher so how can I…”
“Is there a law that says there cannot be two teachers?”
“….”
There is no such law.
However this was not a question of law.
“Even if it is the law this is about cancer….”
“Nobu will personally go and talk to the head of the cancer clan and ask for his understanding so don’t worry about that.”
“….”
It seemed like no matter what I said he would unconditionally accept me as his disciple.
Mok Gyeong-un was internally annoyed by this but since he had no justification for refusing he soon made no further rebuttal.
However at some point the gaze of Hoeju’s second disciple Jang Neung-ak and his third disciple Wi So-yeon were directed not to Baek Sa-ha the king of the island but to himself.
Mok Gyeong-un’s appetite was whetted by their strange gaze.
‘…was it this?’
He seemed to understand why he had bothered to announce that he would be accepted as a disciple in front of them.
It was to divert the attention that had been bothering him by asking for his support away from him.
He was some kind of target.
Due to Baek Sa-ha’s announcement Mo Gyeong-un regardless of his will became a joint disciple of King Seomdog a member of the Five Kings and Lord Amjong.
As a result he became even more attractive prey for those seeking a successor.
* * *
After struggling for almost an hour Mok Gyeong-un was able to come out of the Baek family manor with his bodyguard Seok-jung.
Although he was stubborn and stubborn Baeksaha the island poison king had a quite annoying personality.
He had him participate in his grandson’s first birthday party and introduced him to each of the Baek family’s blood relatives making him acquainted with them.
Mok Gyeong-un found this very annoying but he did not show it and just went along with it.
The reason was because Baek Sa-ha was a member of King Wu a high-ranking official.
‘For now is King Seomdog the way to go?’
Considering Baek Sa-ha’s position there was a high possibility of contact with Hui Zhou.
Therefore even though he was annoyed when he was told that he would be accepted as a disciple he reluctantly accepted it.
It remained to be seen how this would work but Mo Gyeong-un’s biggest goal right now was to contact Hoe-ju in some way.
Meanwhile as I walked away from Baekga’s manor Cheongnyeong’s voice rang in my ears.
-In the end it seems like your decision was right.
-Judgment?
-okay. The island poison king is the best ally.
-well. He seems like an annoying old man.
-Thanks to helping that annoying old man didn’t he get a chance to learn the Pama Sutra which is said to be the best technique?
-Well that’s right.
Baek Sa-ha the King of Seomdok announced in front of Baekga’s blood relatives that he would accept Mokgyeongun as his official disciple and took him to Gajujeon where he immediately showed him the succulents of the Pamadoggyeong.
It was to show Mok Gyeong-un who did not show much reaction the whole time despite accepting him as his disciple how great Baekga’s reading technique Pama Reading is.
Thanks to this Mok Gyeong-un memorized all the verses of the Pamado Sutra on the spot just by looking at it once.
Of course Baek Saha the king of island poisons did not know this fact.
-There is no martial art as irregular as a poisonous attack. Moreover it can be said to be the best when dealing with large numbers of people.
-There are many… I guess so.
-Anyway it’s not bad… Why are you doing that?
Cheongryeong asked Mok Gyeong-un without speaking.
The reason was because Mok Kyung-un who was walking stopped and looked somewhere.
I asked if Seok-jung the guard was also curious.
“Confucius. “Why are you doing that?”
“There is a customer waiting for you.”
“yes?”
As I was asking a question someone walked out from the right corner.
The moment he saw him the guard’s eyes widened.
‘Woo Wooho and Daeju?
He was none other than Woohorang the great disciple of Myeongdo King Son Yun and the great leader of Geogeoldan.
He was a confidant who could be said to be the right hand man of Wei So-yeon the third disciple of Hui Zhou and was also a member of the Five Tigers (五虎) who were called the best later exponents within the Cheonjihoe.
Wu Tigress looked at Mo Qingyun with dry eyes and opened his mouth.
“Your spirit is different from what you look like.”
“Because you didn’t really hide your energy.”
“joy.”
Wu Tiger snorted his nose.
As Mo Kyung-un said he did not hide his energy from the beginning.
Except in special cases he believed that hiding oneself was something only criminals and rats would do.
Wu Tiger lightly looked Mo Qingyun up and down.
‘What a strange guy. ‘How did they do it?’
The energy felt from Mok Gyeong-un was at best just at the beginning of the climax.
He said that with such inaction he would never be able to deal with his priest Ye Wi-seon but he defeated him.
And according to the words of the lord Wi So-yeon this guy’s true inaction may have reached the peak.
If what she said is true this guy has learned a strange trick that allows him to almost completely hide his inaction.
‘You’ve learned a cumbersome trick.’
However it didn’t matter to me.
All he had to do was cut down the enemy no matter what technique he had learned.
Woo Tiger said to Mo Gyeong-un.
“Do you know why I waited for you?”
“well.”
“You said he was a smart guy but you couldn’t guess?”
“I have no way of knowing whether it is for personal business or because of the orders of the lord I serve.”
“what?”
“It seems like you are not looking at me very favorably because I am just waiting because of my lord’s order.”
Woo Tiger snorted at Mok Gyeong-un’s words.
Certainly as his lord said he was not without his cunning side.
Maybe that’s why I don’t like him any more.
“You are right. I’m not very happy with you. “In many ways including the fact that he was a hostage to political factions.”
“diversity?”
“okay. diversity.”
“Hmm. “If that’s the case I just don’t like it.”
“I won’t deny it.”
“okay. “I don’t think I can do anything to help you with those feelings. Can I ask what your business is?”
“The lady told me to bring you.”
“Me?”
“okay. “You understand that since it is the young lady’s order you have no right to veto it right?”
Mok Gyeong-un laughed inwardly at Woo Ho-rang’s words.
As expected it was as expected.
Even though he failed to achieve his goal at Baek Family Manor the reason he obediently retreated and gave himself a look was probably to make a promise for the present.
“…Of course it is. If I do that can I just follow along?”
“okay. But.”
“yes.”
“Shouldn’t we see the termination of the marriage before that?”
“Cancellation of ties?”
-Gooooooo!
As soon as those words were finished Woo Tiger gave off a strong energy.
The force was so fierce that the guard Seok-jung took a step back without even realizing it.
Mo Kyung-un opened his mouth with narrowed eyes.
“It seems a bit against the will of your lord to serve you but are you okay?”
“This is purely a matter between you and me.”
“It’s your problem and mine?”
“You said you showed inaction against Priest Yeop?”
“Ahh. Was it because of that too?”
“Thanks to you my priest is now locked in a detention cell. Of course I made my own mistakes but how can I get away with it when I’m the one being executed?”
Mok Kyung-un snorted inwardly at his words.
Is it really just because of the priest?
No matter how I looked at it it didn’t seem like that was the case.
I think it should be said that it came from a more personal feeling.
The thing about priests was just a justification.
So Mok Gyeong-un smiled and said in an embarrassed tone.
“iced coffee. I see. But. “Do you know why Lady Wi So-yeon is calling me?”
“I know.”
How could you not know?
Because he was Wei So-yeon’s confidant he knew her intentions better than anyone else.
If it had been her usual routine she would have done her best as her subordinate suppressing her own feelings and giving in to what she wanted.
But strangely enough she thought that she shouldn’t have this guy next to her young lady.
Even if you do things wrong due to your emotions.
-Sreung!
Woo Tiger said as he pulled out his Japanese sword the nine fire sword.
“She got a plaque from the lady right?”
“yes. By the way.”
“I also have a card.”
“Oh is that so?”
“Let’s compete over the cards. If you win I will give you my master’s card. However if you lose I will take that card.”
This was Woohorang’s real purpose.
It was to retrieve Wei So-yeon’s card from Mo Kyung-un.
Hearing his words Mok Gyeong-un suddenly burst into laughter.
“Foot.”
“You…are you laughing just now?”
“yes. “I laughed.”
-Gooooooo!
At that moment a strong sense of death surged from Woo Horang.
How dare you laugh at yourself over such a silly topic?
As I was doing this Mok Gyeong-un lightly waved his hand and said.
“iced coffee. I’m sorry if you felt bad. “I couldn’t help but laugh because I could see Daehyeop’s true intentions.”
“What’s on your mind?”
“yes.”
“What nonsense are you talking about? “How can you reveal my true feelings…”
“Doesn’t it seem like he is anxious to make you his rather than granting his wishes?”
‘!?’
For a moment Woo Tiger stopped.
The corners of Mok Kyung-un’s mouth rose at his reaction.
As expected the prediction seems to have been correct.
-Wow!
At that time Wu Horang’s sword flew towards Mo Qingyun’s neck like lightning and stopped at his skin.
However his skin was cut possibly due to a sharp knife and blood flowed out.
“Are you trying to make fun of me?”
Mok Gyeong-un shrugged his shoulders at Woo Ho-rang’s words which revealed murderous intent in a low tone.
“Is that possible?”
“But…”
“I’m just telling the truth but if you’re this excited I can’t help but be even more convinced.”
“you!”
-Park!
At that moment Mo Gyeong-un grabbed the blade of Woo Ho-rang’s Nine Flower Sword.
Woo Tiger tried to shake it off.
But surprisingly even though he raised his strength to nearly 6 stars Dosin did not budge.
‘How talented is this guy?’
It far exceeded his own expectations.
It seemed to be true that the lord Wei Shao-yeon may have reached the pinnacle of excellence.
Mok Kyung-un smiled and said to the surprised man.
“Well I understand. Even if you want the person you love to do well if you really become the successor the relationship will become even more entrenched and further apart so you wouldn’t necessarily care about becoming the successor. So I guess he was trying to steal the young lady’s card by using me as a priest as an excuse.”
‘!!!!!!’
Hearing these words from Mok Kyung-un Woo Ho-rang’s expression completely hardened.
Even though he didn’t have a long conversation he was able to see through my inner thoughts completely.
Why are there all these guys?
I’m doing it
“By the way. “Can you take it away?”
-Giggles!
The sword blade of the Nine Flower Sword held in Mo Kyung-un’s hand began to bend little by little.
