Chronicles of the Demon Faction - Chapter 251

Episode 251 Volcanic name value (1)

“Eudadada!”

The cherry blossom stretched greatly and looked up at the sky.

It was dawn when the moonlight had not completely disappeared. Even though I fell asleep well past midnight, I woke up early in the morning. It was a lifestyle habit that had been ingrained over many years.

“Phew, I need to at least clean it.”

Your body wants to sleep more, but your mind refuses. I feel like my day starts when I wake up early in the morning and finish cleaning my surroundings.

Aenghwa, who went out dressed in fancy clothes, scratched her head for a moment.

‘I already cleaned it.’

The workers quietly finished cleaning while all the guests were sleeping.

Aenghwa realized once again that she had left Shingyo and was wandering around the central plains.

‘I’ll have to get used to it.’

It should be comfortable, but it’s strangely uncomfortable. It was natural since it wasn’t my house, but there was still an uncomfortable feeling that was difficult to resolve.

Aenghwa let out a deep sigh and tilted her head to the side at the sudden feeling of popularity.

“Huh!”

Seoyang was sitting in front of the pond behind the throne. He looked very comfortable as he sat cross-legged and closed his eyes.

I don’t know if it was fortune-telling or simple meditation, but I felt like I shouldn’t break my concentration. The cherry blossoms tried to sneak back into the room.

At that time, Seo-ryang opened his mouth.

“You don’t have to lower your footsteps like that.”

“Are you awake?”

“huh.”

“sorry.”

“I have a lot to be sorry about. “Why did you wake up so early?”

The cherry blossom hesitated.

“Ah… I just need to get some sleep…”

Seo-ryang opened his eyes. His eyes were very soft.

“Come here.”

Cherry blossoms quickly approached Seoryang’s side.

“Come and sit in the front.”

“Ah yes.”

The cherry blossoms carefully knelt across from me.

Xu Liang held out his hand.

“Macmun.”

“yes!”

He held the cherry tree’s freckles.

Xu Liang nodded.

“You haven’t stopped honing your internal skills. Good job.”

“lol.”

When he was expelled as a special inspector, Seoliang gave Aenghwa a copy of the Naegongsimbeop, annotated by himself, as a gift. I have been continuously practicing the Naegongsim method I received back then.

As I had felt before, Aenghwa had a knack for cultivating her inner strength.

I don’t know if he was good at fighting, but he was quite specialized in mental training, where consistency and patience were the most important.

Seo-ryang stroked his chin for a moment and said.

“Do you want to learn martial arts in earnest?”

“Yeah?! “My me?”

“Then who are you?”

Aenghwa’s face suddenly hardened.

It wasn’t because I didn’t want to learn martial arts. I was curious as to whether this was really the case, and at the same time, I was surprised that Master So directly said so.

“Uh… That’s it…”

“You don’t like it?”

“no! Absolutely not!”

“….”

“I just… was wondering if that was okay….”

“What do you mean? How special it is to learn martial arts. “Everyone else is learning it.”

“Yes, but.”

The cherry blossoms spoke hesitantly.

“I was wondering if I was wasting Master Xiao’s precious time for no reason…”

Xu Liang chuckled.

“How much time is wasted just by teaching you? “Don’t even worry about that.”

“…lol.”

“The reason I’m asking you if you want to seriously learn martial arts is for no other reason.

I don’t know if I’m only in Shingyo, but I’ll be traveling all over the central region from now on. Of course, there’s no reason for you to follow me every time.”

Xu Liang’s eyes lit up.

“But now you are definitely following me. That won’t happen, but what if there comes a moment when I can’t protect you?

In that case, you have to overcome the danger alone.”

“….”

“In other words, martial arts training is closer to necessity rather than choice. Nevertheless, the reason I ask you this is because I want to know your sincerity. “If you say no, I will give up completely.”

Cherry Blossom’s face, which had been frozen in surprise, suddenly became serious.

“I don’t know that practicing martial arts is hard work, Master So.

Nevertheless, the reason I want to practice martial arts is not simply to become stronger.”

“then?”

“It is because I must not be a nuisance to Master Xiao. Furthermore, it is because it is a path that can be helpful to Sogyoju.”

If you learn martial arts, you become stronger. That is an undeniable fact.

But the purpose is different. Aenghwa was clearly a demon, but she was different from other demons. What was more important than strength was the convenience and safety of the superiors he served.

You can do anything for that. Although she is young, the environment she has lived in through what she has seen and learned has become the strength that sustains Cherry Blossoms today.

Seoliang, who was looking at the cherry blossoms, shook his head.

“You can’t do that.”

“…yes?”

“If you learn it for your own survival, I will actively train you. “But if you’re trying to help me, I’d like to tell you that there’s absolutely no need to do that.”

The cherry blossoms were like, oh no.

“Oh, of course I…”

“I know how you feel. Actually, you have done a lot for me so far. “I haven’t said anything, but you can’t imagine how much your presence has helped me so far.”

The tip of my nose feels sore. It’s been like that for a long time, but I knew how to impress people like this once in a while.

“But I don’t want you to forget what your role is.”

“yes?”

“You are different from Dongpil. Dongpil is a warrior chosen from the beginning to protect me. Literally, escorting is the main business.

But you are not a bodyguard. “You just have to do your best at your job and you don’t need to provide any more help than that.”

This may sound quite sad.

In fact, Aeng-hwa couldn’t hide her disappointment at Seo-ryang’s words. However, she was quick-witted and smart, and was able to sense a ray of emotion hidden in Seo-ryang’s words.

“An organization is complete only when each person does his or her job properly in his or her position.

Maybe there will come a time when I need your help.

But until then, you just need to focus on your survival and self-defense. If you forget that, even if the bond is still the same, there will be a crack in the group’s movements.”

Aenghwa finally understood Seoryang’s words.

Seoliang was telling her to be sure how to move.

When a desperate moment comes, if the cherry blossoms act strangely in the hope that they will be helpful, the entire party could be in danger.

Seoliang’s purpose was to prevent that in advance. It meant that no matter what moment comes, do not make a hasty move for your own sake.

The cherry blossom bowed its head.

“If it is an action that will bring peace to Master Xiao’s heart, I will definitely do it. “Don’t worry, Master Xiao.”

“Thank you for understanding what I mean.”

“Oh no, Master Xiao! Rather, I…”

Aeng-hwa suddenly felt like tears were coming out.

There is probably no other person in Protestantism who cares for their subordinates like this. Not only Protestantism, but also any family, sect, or organization in the world would be similar.

There are so many small people who not only do not regard people as human beings, but treat them as worse as animals.

I thought that Aenghwa had received an unprecedented blessing, not because she became the head of a small church, but simply because she was a scholar.

“thank you. “I will do my best to learn martial arts and never create a situation that will make Master Xiao feel uneasy.”

“Okay, that’s enough.”

Seoliang stroked Aenghwa’s head.

Aenghwa thought herself to be very fortunate, but the same was true for Seoryang.

Just as not all superiors are evil, not all subordinates are good.

Aenghwa was such a kind and pure child that you could not think of her as a Protestant.

Because this child was his maid, he was able to run to him without hesitation without worrying about food, clothing, and shelter.

If the day comes in the future when Seo-ryang receives praise from everyone.

Aenghwa will definitely be counted among the people who helped Seoliang the most behind the scenes to help him rise to that position.

“I told you to remove the ox horn as soon as possible. There is one martial art that I have been thinking about for a long time. “Let’s study until breakfast.”

“yes!”

After one hour.

Yeo Sang-rin, stretched out, came out as a sponsor.

“Oh my gosh, my back made a really crunching noise… huh?”

Yeo Sang-rin blinked.

“Master Xiao, what are you doing?”

Ma Dong-pil, who had come out right away and was protecting the law, answered.

“Teach Aenghwa martial arts.”

“Oh, to the cherry blossoms?”

Yeo Sang-rin looked at the two people with expectant eyes.

Aenghwa was sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed. Next to him, Seo-ryang was muttering something, and it was clear that his true energy was moving as he listened to what he said.

Yeosangrin grinned.

“At first glance, it appears to be a dark martial arts technique, but I hope it is a good martial arts technique.”

“It’s not just good martial arts.”

“yes? Do you know what martial arts Aenghwa is learning?”

“Of course.”

Ma Dong-pil’s face was filled with surprise.

“The Moon Demonic Gong (月陰魔功)…”

The Wolum Demonic Gong is one of the Ten Great Demonic Gongs of Shinkyo.

The reason Ma Dong-pil can recognize that magic attack is because he has actually seen the power of that martial art.

‘Lord Chancellor.’

The magic technique that Juhwa, the general of Hwanheewon, learned was Woleum magic. Those ferocious beasts could not even easily approach the Sangcheonsu (霜天手) unfolding through the Woleummagong.

Considering that Juhwa’s physical condition was not normal at the time, it was truly an incredible power.

Of course, it will be difficult to catch up to the level of Juhwa, who is called a genius, by learning martial arts late, but since the quality of martial arts itself is high, it will be enough to maintain one’s health.

After hearing Ma Dong-pil’s explanation, Yeo Sang-rin whistled lightly.

“Shingyo Ten Great Demon Lord… Sogyoju is really big. Yes?”

“exactly.”

“But isn’t that magic trick strange?”

“What do you mean?”

“It’s not exactly a magic trick, but Hwa-ah’s condition is strange.”

Yeo Sang-rin frowned. Even though her hair was disheveled and her eyes were covered in mucus, she looked beautiful.

“Usually, when you learn advanced martial arts skills, your existing skills tend to decrease.

It would be more correct to think of it as removal of impurities rather than loss of internal energy. “It’s replaced with new internal strength and condensed to become harder and more pure, right?”

“Of course I do.”

“But it remains the same? “The power of cherry blossoms.”

“hmm?”

Ma Dong-pil focused his senses on the cherry blossoms.

It’s not that it wasn’t, it was just as Yeo Sang-rin said.

The strength of the cherry blossoms was not at a level that could be said to be that of a master, but it was also not at the level of being insignificant. Do I have a level of strength that is just right for my age group?

However, even though its internal power was gradually changing to Woleummagi, its internal power was not decreasing. All the history and all the true energy are being transformed into the magical energy of the moon.

‘That’s amazing.’

Ma Dong-pil was inwardly surprised. The fact that the existing internal power was not condensed into a higher level internal power was proof that the internal power of cherry blossoms was deep and solid.

Yeo Sang-rin quietly admired.

“I don’t think Master Xiao is helping me, but it’s amazing. “This is proof that you have been practicing your skills without the slightest distraction while training your inner strength, right?”

“I think so. It’s a power as pure as mine… “I don’t know about my mother’s martial arts skills, but I think it’s safe to say that I am at least gifted in the martial arts area.”

Ma Dong-pil, who was nodding his head, suddenly looked at Yeo Sang-rin with surprised eyes.

‘how?’

Yeo Sang-rin saw right away what she herself had not felt.

Although he was unable to concentrate on one area because he was protecting the law and opened his senses to the entire area, Yeo Sang-rin’s sense of spirit was still great.

How can you see through that minute difference in density, even while half asleep?

‘It means that although his level of martial arts is low, his senses are no less than mine. There are so many talented people in the world.’

Yeo Sang-rin admires the cherry blossoms. Ma Dong-pil admires Yeo Sang-rin.

The moment they began to realize one by one the true nature of each other, which they had not known until now, they were finally becoming a truly harmonious group.

In other words, that was what Seoyang wanted. This is because it is difficult to respond properly in a crisis if you do not know each other’s personality, skills, and talents properly.

So the group grew stronger as the days passed.

It was a growth in organizational power that would be of great help in the future, even if not immediately.

Half a day later.

“Is everyone ready?”

“yes.”

Xi Liang opened the carriage door.

“Let’s go see the face of the flower shop owner who is crazy about plum blossoms.”
