Moon-Shadow Sword Emperor

Episode 359

His remarks had a greater impact than what the two people said before.

That was inevitable because the Kunlun sect lost Yu Jeong-geom, the best leader of the sect, due to this incident.

Taeyeon Geom sighed deeply and asked while stroking her hair.

“Are you serious?”

“I don’t know why you’re asking such a question. “I just didn’t like the way things were going.”

“What do you mean?”

“Actually, you probably know that too, right? The culprit behind all of this is the devil. “Why are you holding the Cheonan Inspector General accountable?”

“…….”

“I’ll say it bluntly. In my eyes, it only looks like you have lost your temper in anger and are directing your resentment at the wrong person.”

It was the same word as a reckless murderer.

Hojeong-kwon, who without hesitation says things that everyone could not say out of concern for Taeyeon-geom’s reputation.

The air became heavy, as if a lump of lead had been placed on it.

I scratched my cheek with my index finger and muttered.

‘Thank you for taking my side.’

Anyway, I didn’t expect him to speak so bluntly.

You probably don’t know that the Shamanist faction and the Kunlun faction could end up completely at odds.

“……Damn it.”

Unable to think of anything to refute, Taeyeon released her fists and lowered her head.

The sympathizers who were buzzing like a swarm of angry bees all fell silent.

After confirming that the situation was resolved, Zhuge Huan sighed in relief and said.

“Then let’s move on to the next item.”

* * *

“Thank you in the conference room.”

“That’s it. “I don’t feel like hearing a thank you from you.”

The window of the main building overlooking Dongdong Lake.

Hao Jeong-kwon put down the drink in his hand and said bluntly.

“Do you blame me?”

“It would be a lie if I said no. “If I were to be more angry than Taeyeon Geom, I would be more, not less.”

These were definitely not empty words.

In some ways, the Kunlun faction was the group that suffered the most damage after the Xinchang family, which lost its head of the Taisang family.

It was not for any other reason that those who sympathized with Taeyeon’s remarks and were pushing me all silenced as soon as Hojeonggwon came forward.

Isn’t it strange that the Kunlun faction takes my side, but other factions and families take my side?

“However, as I said in the conference room, I don’t think it is right to turn my anger towards you.”

“For that matter, I think you have a cold attitude towards me.”

“I understand it in my head, but my feelings of disappointment are separate from that.”

“…….”

Ho Jeong-kwon had a different position from Taeyeon Sword.

He lost the basis of his power with the collapse of the Kunlun faction, and was able to make a comeback entirely thanks to the Huayang Sangdan.

That’s why he could never give up on his relationship with me.

Because I am in charge of the role of a link between him and Hwayang Sangdan.

What if he no longer receives support from Hwayang Sangdan and falls as a result?

A dark cloud would be cast over the future of the Kunlun faction.

This will cause a huge setback in the reconstruction that will take place in the future.

In a way, it could be said that the name of the Kunlun Sect was held in my hands.

“I hope you don’t think too negatively of that friend Taeyeon. Mae Yeon-gaek (媒緣客) and Taeyeon-geom (媒緣客) and Taeyeon-geom (媒緣客) had been together through hardships and joys since they were young, so they had a deep affection for each other. “I guess that’s why he seemed unable to control his emotions at today’s meeting.”

Was Ho Jeong-kwon close with Taeyeon Geom?

Seeing as he was speaking in defense of Taeyeon Sword in front of me, it seemed highly likely.

“I don’t really care. Just as there are no permanent allies, there are no permanent enemies. “Especially if the stage is a political one.”

I was prepared from the beginning.

There will be more enemies around.

Rather, it was even more strange that the high-ranking members of the Maeng did not keep a watchful eye and check on me, who became the head of the Cheonan Inspectorate.

I can guarantee that things like today will continue to happen in the future.

“We plan to send support funds to the Kunlun Sect through the Huayang Sangdan in the near future. “I am planning to set the amount at three times the previous amount, and I hope this will be of some comfort to you.”

“…I will accept it gratefully.”

Ting.

The Gojeongken cup and I clashed in the air.

The night at the base station deepened.

* * *

‘I put out the fire in a hurry.’

Temporary base of Cheonan Gambu.

I sat at the desk in my office and looked up at the ceiling blankly.

I completed most of the work that had accumulated while I was away.

The team members, including Yu So-hwa, were talented, so it didn’t take as long as expected.

‘The public opinion criticizing me has almost calmed down.’

I benefited greatly from buying time by carrying out the escort mission given by Hwabaek Joo.

If he had returned to Meng immediately after finishing his errands in Jiangsu, he would have been in quite a difficult situation.

‘Should I take care of a few more things and then go straight to Guangxi?’

The time has come to listen to Jiewang’s request.

I shouldn’t have taken too long.

Jiewang said he wouldn’t be able to hold out that long.

It would be better to complete the request at least before he passed away.

It was a time when I was gathering my thoughts with my arms crossed.

“Boss.”

A woman opened the door to the office and entered the room.

It was Yang In-hye, a new member of Cheonan Gambu.

“Is there a problem.”

“I have something urgent to tell you.”

“……?”

I tilted my head and offered her a seat.

Due to her duties, she rarely reported anything directly to me.

I had no idea what he was here to say.

“This is a story about Wu Xiaoze.”

“About Wu Xiaoze? “What happened?”

“There was a small commotion while the manager was away.”

“I haven’t heard any such report.”

I frowned slightly.

While the main force of Cheonan Gambu was away, several members, including Yang In-hye, were in charge of escorting Woo Hwayeon.

I knew it intuitively.

That it is not okay to take it lightly or pass it over.

“It’s because the person involved, Wu Sozhe, said he didn’t want to make a big deal out of it. He asked me to keep quiet, but no matter how much I thought about it, I thought it would be better to tell the manager…” “

Please tell me.” “I will listen.”

“A month ago, Yeongseong Dojang, an elder of Meng, visited Wolhwajang.”

spirituality.

It was the name of an elder from the Cheongseong faction.

An ominous feeling crept up my waist.

The conversation I had with him earlier flashed through my mind.

[Now that we’re on the same boat, there’s something I’d like to ask you. If you grant me this favor, my relationship with you will become even stronger.]

[Please speak. I will do my best as a junior to the extent possible.]

[I am talking about the princess of the Beast Palace. I guess he followed you to Maeng’s headquarters this time?]

Considering the insidious desires that the Youngseong Dojo showed at the time, it would not have been surprising if something big had happened.

“What happened? I’m sure there’s no problem with Wu Xiaoje’s personal life.”

“I’m not sure because I didn’t watch it from beginning to end, but it’s clear that something bad happened.”

“Please tell me in a little more detail.”

“The first place the spiritual dojo visited was the temporary base of Cheonan Gambu. I remembered the warning the manager had given me, so I politely declined at the time. “Because the person in charge is away, they cannot accept outsiders.”

“…….”

“But the spiritual seal did not give up there. Two days later, he personally came to Wolhwajang (月華莊) with his subordinates.”

“Are you saying he went into Wolhwajang on his own while I was away?”

“yes. It is said that because of his relentless push, the servants who managed the manor had no choice but to open the way.”

I felt absurd.

In short, doesn’t it mean that he was misbehaving in an ownerless house?

‘Are you sane?’

What are you going to do after I return to the team?

Could it be that they decided that since they were in the same boat as each other, they would turn a blind eye to most things?

‘Something is strange.’

The Youngseong Dojo I knew was a man faithful to his desires, but he was not a fool.

It never occurred to me that he would have committed such an atrocity without any thought.

“So what did he do?”

“What I saw was the result, not the process. Therefore, it would be better to hear the details directly from the parties involved.”

“The parties?”

“At that time, I was standing guard outside of sponsorship. “I was told to leave for a moment and I was waiting nearby when, out of nowhere, a sharp scream rang out.”

“…….”

“As I was running straight towards the source of the noise, I ran into Youngseong Dojang, who was running away while gathering his clothes. But something strange caught my eye. His face turned blue and he looked like he was addicted. “I couldn’t see where the subordinates I brought with me were.”

“If it’s poison, then it can’t be…”

“I’m guessing that it was the Tang Master who had a hand in it. “The person who coaxed us, who protested against our request to leave the room, and led us outside was also the party leader.”

I sighed in relief and nodded.

If Tang Seo-yeon had intervened, there would not have been a problem with Woo Hwa-yeon’s life.

I was worried that it might turn into hostility with Dokgok, with which I had a friendly relationship, but at least it didn’t seem like that would happen.

“When we arrived at the sponsorship, everything had already ended. “All the warriors brought by the Youngseong Dojang had been subdued and had collapsed, and the Tang family members were cleaning up after them.”

“Hmm.”

“It’s not clear because I only saw it from a distance, but it seemed like Wu Sozhe’s clothes were a little torn.”

“Was there anyone hurt?”

“yes. “The difference in power was so big that it didn’t seem like we could be an opponent in the first place.”

I had even more doubts.

Youngseong Dojang was not the type of person to fight a fight he was sure he would lose.

But why did an armed conflict occur?

‘I don’t get it.’

A few possibilities crossed my mind.

一. Youngseong Dojang, who could not let go of his attachment to Woo Hwayeon, finally got into an accident, and Tang Seoyeon took care of it.

2. Friction broke out between Woo Hwayeon and Yeongseong Dojang, and Tang family members intervened to end the situation

. Woo Hwa-yeon and Tang Seo-yeon encouraged the situation at the time.

I couldn’t ignore the first or second, but somehow the third seemed the most plausible.

It was strange that something like that had happened and the Youngseong dojo remained quiet until now.

Since it was as if he visited as a guest and came out addicted, it wouldn’t be surprising if he went on a rampage and protested.

“This is the end of the report.”

“Thank you for telling me without hiding it.”

After congratulating Yang In-hye, I immediately left the office.

If you didn’t know, you wouldn’t know.

Now that I know, there is a need to investigate the context.

First, I planned to visit Woo Hwayeon, the person involved, and listen to her story.
