Chapter 345
[Side Story Episode 1: The Story of So Yeong-young (1)]
Two months have passed since the day that shocked Moorim.
It's been a long time since I returned to my hometown, Yulang County.
In fact, I no longer have the slightest affection to call it my hometown.
My mother's memorial tablet was also kept in the Hyeongsan sect, and now I believe that my original family is the Biwol Yeongjong of Mussangseong.
The Biwol Yeongjong is the mother’s sect.
My maternal grandfather cherishes me like a daughter.
I felt family affection for the first time, and it seemed like my mother's empty spot was filled.
Moreover, unlike my brother, I do not share the blood of the Unmatched Lord, but he also treats me like his own child.
Maybe that's why I no longer have any regrets about Ikyang Soga.
However, the reason I came to Yulang County after such a long time was to pick up the loom that my mother gave me when I was young and the belongings I used when I was young.
-Roaring!
But what is all this hustle and bustle?
Namgung Ga-hee, the head of Bonghwangdang, who came along with me, said to me.
“oh. Young Mae. “Why are there so many people?”
“I don’t know either.”
Just as my sister said, numerous processions were taking place outside the entrance hall of Soga.
The cart was full of all kinds of things, but I couldn't figure out what was going on.
“It feels like I’ve come to give a real prize to the Lord.”
“......Do you look like that too?”
It looks that way to my eyes too.
As far as I know, it's not a special day in Ikyang Soga, so what's going on?
When I went to the main gate to enter the entrance, the gatekeepers guarding the front recognized me and shouted.
“Miss, are you here?”
“miss?”
Suddenly, the people in the procession turned their eyes to me.
I felt embarrassed for a moment because they were looking at me at the same time.
“Oooh!”
“This is So Yeong-yeong, the deputy head of the Phoenix Party!”
“Isn’t he the younger sister of Jin Woon-hwi, the world’s greatest swordsman?”
My face gets hot from people's cries, and it feels like it's going to burn out.
My sister seemed to find my reaction funny, so she covered her mouth with her hand and suppressed laughter.
“Foot psychic is so popular.”
‘......Damn brother.'
Thanks to my brother, I also received attention.
Things like this have happened countless times since I came here.
Because of that, I was scared to go into a place like a village, but with so many people's attention, I didn't know what to do.
“Soyoungyoung women’s cooperative! My name is Jang I-seong, the head of the Gapjeongmun clan from Jo Yeong-hyeon. “It is an honor to meet you like this.”
“miss! miss! “I am Go Yeong-hae, owner of Yuman Sanang.”
“Uh huh. The person in the back row suddenly came up to the front and asked what they were doing. So Yeong-yeong Women’s Association. I am Hyeong-jeong Moon of the Ojak family. Even if that wasn’t the case, I wanted to see you…”
Ah, seriously, my head is pounding.
Why are you trying so hard to impress me?
“Hehe. Of course, it's because I have a great older brother. Young Mae.”
My sister spoke as if she had read my mind.
yes yes.
Thanks to my outstanding older brother, I am able to receive this much attention in my life.
“......That proud older brother. Would you like your sister to take you?”
“Oh really?”
My sister got angry at my words and said,
This sister...it seems like she wasn't lying when she said she was interested in her brother.
Please bear with me.
Even if that weren't the case, I have three new sisters, and that's causing a lot of headache in its own way.
‘It's going to be hard for you to handle them.'
People still don't know.
How scary your brother's wives are.
The eldest sister is the daughter of Wolakgeom Samachak, a member of the Five Evils.
At least Samayoung is cute.
The two sisters who are competing for the position of the second new sister are absolute masters who can be counted among the best in the whole of Moorim.
If it were known that one person was the new leader of the Blood Cult and the other was the Ice Palace Lord of the newly rebuilt North Sea Ice Palace, the martial arts community would be shocked once again.
No, you want to do less than then?
When I think back on that time, I feel like my brother was truly amazing.
‘How did you think of revealing it all on the spot?'
.
.
.
[No, what does that mean? Are you saying that the leader is even a minor castle lord of the peerless castle?]
[H... So, the leader is a blood demon, the leader of the blood cult, and the son of the Heartless Wind God Dahyeop, the lord of the peerless castle?] [The minor castle
lord is a blood demon? How could something so absurd...]
Everyone present could not help but be astonished.
The leaders of the Blood Cult were dumbfounded as if it was the first time they had learned that their brother was a minor star of peerless nature, and the elders, the leaders of the Martial Alliance, also could not hide their bewilderment.
As a result, it was said that one person, Jin Woon-hwi, rather than the older brother, was in charge of the backbone of the three major forces of Murim.
[This is impossible!]
[How can this be deceived without deceiving the entire martial arts group?]
Of course, the one that reacted most violently was the martial arts federation.
From their perspective, they could understand their brother as a peerless minor castle lord, but they could not possibly tolerate their brother as a blood demon.
But you know what's funny here?
No one could openly ask my brother to step down from his position as leader.
Because everyone in the room went in acknowledging one fact.
[No. 1 in the world]
My brother was the number one person recognized by others.
Who could behave carelessly against her brother, who even destroyed that monstrous dragon?
But not everyone was cautious.
The blood religion side was different.
[It would be best to be sure at this point. If you put your mind to it, it would be no problem to rule over the martial arts here.] The
person who said this arrogantly was none other than Baek Hye-hyang, the vice-principal of the Blood Cult.
She, who was fighting over her second sister, started a fire on the spot.
Thanks to this, as soon as the Inyo (人妖) War ended, the atmosphere turned sour that it seemed like a second civil war would break out.
[If you just give me an order, I will bring those guys to their knees right away. [Sect leader.]
The mysterious Haeakcheon, who was said to be my brother's teacher, instigated the situation by making threats for no reason.
In an imminent situation, my brother's choice went beyond everyone's expectations.
[I will step down from both the position of leader of the Murim and the leader of the Blood Cult at the same time.]
[!?]
This time, the Blood Cult that had encouraged the unification of the Murim could not hide their embarrassment at the sudden declaration.
My brother announced this to everyone.
Now, he says he will live his life as Jin Woon-hwi, the son of Jin Seong-baek, the lord of peerless castle.
.
.
.
The older brother, who declared so, appointed Baek Hye-hyang, who was the deputy leader, as the head of the blood religion, and unexpectedly recommended Wolakgeom Samachak as the next leader.
Since the succession of the blood religion was the responsibility of the blood demons, no one had any disagreement, but when Wolakgeom, one of the five evil men, was recommended for the position of leader, an uproar arose again.
However, as my brother cleared the false accusation against Wolakgeom Samachak on the spot, public opinion became quite strange.
The prejudices of political faction members regarding Samachak, the Wolak Sword, have changed considerably to the extent that it is unclear what the outcome of the election of a leader will be in the near future.
If Sama Chak, the Wolak Sword, is really elected to the position of leader, it may be the biggest upset in the martial arts faction.
Well, no matter who I am, the present is important.
“No.”
At my firm words, Namgoong Gahee pursed her lips and said,
“You told me to take you with me just now?”
“There are a lot of good men even if they aren’t your brother. sister.”
“There is only one Young Mae brother who is the best expert in the world.”
“.......Hmm. That's right, but it doesn't work anyway! “I’m saying this all for my sister.”
“This is giving me a secret feeling.”
If you mess around, you'll get hurt, sister.
If I tell you who your brother's three wives are, will you give up?
Then someone said to me.
“Mrs. Yang, our Lord Moon sent a hawk. How did you come to a decision?”
‘!?'
Hawkish?
What kind of dog eating grass is this again?
But it wasn't just one person who said this.
“Did you send a hawk from Gapjeongmun as well?”
“Did you send Jeong Do-moon too?”
“Our Oyeon family has already received a reply saying they will consider it positively.”
“Oh my. “It seems like most of the sects in Hunan Province have sent hawks.”
I was amazed by their conversation.
I came here with the intention of severing ties with Ikyang Soga, but without my knowledge, the hawks are going back and forth and discussing marriage.
Namgoong Gahee clicked her tongue and spoke to me.
“Hey...Young Mae. At this level, you can choose the husband you want. Or you could have multiple wives.....”
“Sister!”
“I'm kidding. joke.”
“I’m not in the mood to mess around right now.”
I walked into the Soga with angry steps.
Originally, I was going to head to the main church building, but I headed straight to Jagyangdang, the residence of Mrs. Yang.
There was a procession leading to Jagyangdang, and tributes were piled up and overflowing outside the warehouse.
‘Are you using this? under!'
Without even having to think or sleep, I entered Jakyangdang.
Lady Yang's female guards, who were guarding Jagyangdang, were startled and seemed to have hurried inside, as if they had spotted me.
I guess I'm going to report to Mrs. Yang that I've come.
“joy!”
I hurriedly entered Jakyangdang.
Perhaps because there were customers waiting in line, I couldn't stop them like usual.
As I went inside, I heard the voices of Mrs. Yang and the guests in the waiting room.
“...Isn’t there a blessing in raising you? So, I hope that Madam Yang will speak kindly to Jin Dae-hyeop and look kindly on our daughter-in-law.”
“Is it possible? Even if things don’t work out, you can look forward to the first and second children as they are just as good-looking and have character and talent as their children.”
“ha ha ha. All right. “I only trust Mrs. Yang…”
A snort came out.
Now, not only me but my brother is also being sold.
He's been bargaining with me for marriage as if I were a family item, and he hasn't gotten over that habit yet.
“Now I understand why Young Mae wants to end her relationship with Soga.”
I'm embarrassed to see my sister.
If I had known this would happen, I would have gone in alone.
I think I'll get annoyed if I listen any more.
-bang!
I opened the door to the reception room and went inside.
Jakyangdang's female guards tried to dissuade me, but it was impossible for them to do so.
When I went inside, Mrs. Yang looked at me with a frown.
She said, her expression softening as if she was conscious of the guest.
“Young-ah. If you came, why didn't you tell me? “Now this mother.....”
“I don’t know since when did you start saying that the person who told you not to call me mother but to call you Mrs. Yang was my mother?”
She forced herself to keep her facial expression in response to my harsh words.
“oh. “What did he say so that the head of the Seyang family would misunderstand…
” “Your brother already has a fiancee, so what right does Mrs. Yang have to make such an absurd promise to the head of the Seyang family?”
Even the head of the Seyang family seemed embarrassed by my words and cleared his throat.
Then he said to me.
“Hehehe, I’ve always heard that So Yeo-hyeop, the vice-owner of the Phoenix Hall of the Wulin Federation, is bold, but it’s just as I heard.”
“yes. Thank you for a good look.”
I spoke to him in a dry voice, as if I was saying something I had no intention of saying.
Although the head of the Seyang family was displeased, he smiled and spoke as if admonishing me.
“If you are a hero recognized by the world like Jin Dae-hyeop, who will say anything if you have three wives and concubines? This is because of the desire to have a great person like Jin Dae-hyeop as a son-in-law....”
“My brother has three fiancés. Do you mind?”
“Three people?”
In response to my words, Namgung Gahee asked back with shocked eyes.
The head of the Seyang family also didn't know about this, so he looked embarrassed and then told me.
“Hehehe, I didn’t tell you just now. Even if you have three wives and concubines....”
“I’m saying this because I’m worried about whether the daughter of the Seyang family will be able to survive among my new sisters.”
“That child is also the daughter of a warrior. “The family head raised her strong, so you don’t have to worry about that…”
“The first new sister is the daughter of Sima Chak, the Wolak Sword.”
‘!?'
The head of the Seyang family was speechless at my words.
I didn't stop there and continued talking.
“Two people are competing for the position of the second new sister... One of them is Baek Hye-hyang, the Black Blood Witch who is currently the leader of the Blood Cult.”
“You damn sword and blood witch!”
The head of the Seyang family was so startled that he jumped up from his chair.
Namgoong Gahee was also looking at me with wide eyes, probably surprised by this fact.
“Blood cult leader?... Oh my god.”
Mrs. Yang was so surprised that her complexion even turned pale.
I didn't stop there.
“And one of them is Seolbaek, the Empress of Binghan, who has recently become one of the Eight Great Masters. If the head of the family can endure well among them...”
Before I could finish my sentence, the head of the Seyang family grabbed his wife and spoke urgently.
“Hey...Mrs. Yang. “I think the head of the house was greedy for no reason. Please forget what I asked you to do today.”
With those words, he quickly left the reception room.
After seeing that, I feel a little relieved.
However, I heard the voice of Namgoong Gahee muttering sullenly next to me.
“......The standards are too high.”
It seems like the anger has subsided.
