Chronicles of the Demon Faction - Chapter 31
Episode 31 Inevitability called Coincidence (3)
Hong Wi-moon suddenly got up without realizing it.
‘How could he?!’
Seoryang’s appearance was cheerful, smiling playfully and shaking the bottle. The eyes that were fixed on Soyeonsim were very clear, uncharacteristic of a demon.
Soyeonsim sobbed without realizing it.
“The Three Princes…?!”
Xu Liang smiled.
“He wasn’t there, so I had to go out of my way to find him. “I wondered where he was, and it turned out he was in a place with a nice view.”
The warriors who were opening the door hesitantly retreated without realizing it as he entered without hesitation as if it were his own home.
“What are they doing?”
The warriors turned their attention to Hong Weimun.
His face was cold and frozen.
“This is a place to serve a precious person. “I told them not to let anyone in, so how could they not stop it?”
The panicked warriors unconsciously grabbed the hilts of their swords. But because the opponent was the opponent, I couldn’t do this or that.
Seoliang snapped his fingers.
“Oh, did you? “Let’s talk right away.”
He took a couple of steps back. It came inside the door and then came out again.
He took a deep breath and shouted in a loud voice.
“If you’re done with the first part, let’s do the second part with me!”
Then he grins.
“Are you done?”
Hong Yuwen’s eyelids fluttered.
Even So Yeon-sim, who had been through many hardships before, was busy keeping her mouth shut due to her flashy appearance and words and actions that deviated from common sense. At least within the Protestant Church, no one has ever shown such words or actions in front of the leadership.
So Yeon-sim, who had been looking at him blankly, came to her senses and quickly got up and bowed.
“Invincible religion, Manmaangbok.” “The Lord of Hwanhee Won meets the Three Princes.”
At the same time, the warriors also knelt down.
The order was given to Hong Wei-moon, but the other person was also a disciple of the same sect. Moreover, although the official rank was the same, there was a difference in age and time of entry.
Of course, we have no choice but to set an example.
Xu Liang chuckled.
“You don’t have to be so formal. “Because I don’t like it very much.”
Soyeonsim’s eyes sparkled.
You don’t like formality? Those words were truly awkward for So Yeon-sim, who remembered the Three Dukes from before.
“Anyway, what are you going to do? Are you going to continue to enjoy it? Or would you like to have a drink with me?”
“That is…”
Just as So Yeon-sim was about to answer, Hong Yu-moon interrupted.
“What are you doing, third brother?”
Third brother…
Isn’t that a very affectionate title? Actually, when I heard about it, it was to the extent that it suddenly appeared.
Yes, as long as he wasn’t manipulating things behind his back.
“So Wonju is with me. “Isn’t it too unreasonable to barge in and make a mess of the place?”
Xi Liang turned his gaze to Hong Yuwen.
This is the first thing I see when I come here. The two people’s different eyes clashed with sparks flying.
But even for a moment.
Seo-ryang smiled and turned his head to So Yeon-sim and spoke leisurely.
“It’s because I don’t like uncomfortable positions. “I hope you can give me an answer quickly.”
It was a pretty blatant disregard.
Hong Yu-moon’s cheeks trembled with anger.
“Hey, third brother!”
At that time, Soyeonsim took a step forward.
“I’m sorry, Master Three.”
“huh?”
“Anyway, I was invited and I accepted. Until this situation is over…”
“That’s what I’m saying. “Would you like to have a drink with me after we’re done?”
“The conversation isn’t over….”
“Are you doing this because of the green leaf weed?”
The atmosphere suddenly became cold.
Xiliang scratched his head.
“There are usually two cases where green leaf herb is needed. “When the concentration of yin energy needs to be drastically lowered due to excessive depletion of yang energy, or when the nine yin (nine yin) is at a critical point.”
“…!”
“But in those two cases, there are many herbs that can be substituted, even if it is not green leaf herb. There is no way a person the size of So Wonju wouldn’t know that, so there is no herb that can replace Cheongju….” “
Ah!”
said Seoliang, scratching the chin of the fox cub.
“Is there anyone you know who got poisoned while practicing yin energy?”
Soyeonsim’s eyes widened.
“How could that…?”
“When dried, roasted, and powdered, Cheonggu Quadrifolia is effective in correcting upset blood vessels. In addition, it controls the problem of soaring yin energy and protects the original essence for a while, making treatment possible even if it is unreasonable even in a worn-out state.”
“….”
“Is that correct?”
Soyeonsim pursed her lips. He knew exactly why she needed the green leaf herb.
Xu Liang shook his head.
“I don’t know what the patient’s condition is, but if it’s not at the point where you can’t breathe right away, you don’t necessarily need Cheongsam Cypress. No, it could actually be dangerous. “Because it goes beyond controlling yin energy and can even confuse yang energy.”
“…!”
“I understand that you are anxious out of concern for the patient, but there is no need to overdo it.”
So Yeonsim’s complexion changed every moment.
At that time, Hong Yu-wen stepped forward.
“While we haven’t seen each other, you’ve developed a rather vulgar hobby.”
“hmm?”
“Do you think that eavesdropping on other people’s conversations is behavior befitting the Three Dukes of Shinkyo?”
“ah? “Was it a bit like that?”
“If you knew, right here…”
“Then how about this?”
“what?”
Xi Liang sneered.
“The actions of a son of a bitch who tried to kill his brothers with yin and yang in order to become the next president.”
“…!”
“what do you think about it? “I think it’s the undignified pettiness of an incompetent idiot, but what about me?”
Hong Wei-wen’s face hardened.
“What do you mean?”
“If you’re so stupid that you don’t know what’s going on, why do you carry it around? “Isn’t it just a little while ago that you tried to attack my maid with a cypress leaf?”
“Hey, third brother!”
“Hey, by the way, even I can do that.”
Xu Liang shrugged his shoulders. The fox cub climbed onto his head to avoid falling.
“Did you want to mess with that little one too?”
“…!!”
Su Yanshen looked back at Hong Yuwen with a shocked face.
There was life in Hong Wei-wen’s eyes.
“No matter how much my third brother does, it will be difficult for him to bear any more insults.”
“Even if it’s hard to bear, just bear with it, man. “There are people who have died and come back to life, but is it really worth it if I can’t bear to just make fun of them?”
“Third brother!”
“Well, anyway, there’s no point in babbling about something that has no evidence. “Anyway…”
he asked, looking at So Yeon-sim.
“What are you going to do? “Are you going to hold on until the end of a transaction that has become meaningless just like you did a moment ago?”
So Yeon-sim’s eyes, fixed on Hong Wi-moon, became increasingly harsh.
“Sam Gongja.”
“Please speak.”
“So, is there a way to improve the condition of a person suffering from malignancy right now? “The Blood Soul Pavilion said we had to watch the situation.”
Xu Liang grinned.
“Have you forgotten that I was paralyzed and revived?”
“…!”
“How did I come back to life when everyone said I would die or become a wreck? “Even while some idiot is harassing us with decoctions and needles.”
Su Yanshen held out the gold bag on the table towards Hongwimun and said coldly.
“Thank you for inviting me. “I will pay for what I eat.”
“…So Wonju.”
“Okay then.”
Soyeonsim turned her body so that she heard a swooshing sound.
If you are in the same business, there is no need to work with someone you hate. Although it was not extreme, it was difficult for So Yeon-sim to be kind to Hong Wi-moon, who had hurt her enough even with empty words.
Grumbling.
Blood dripped from Hong Wei-wen’s fist. Anger and humiliation were clearly visible on his stiff face.
Seoryang, who was looking at him briefly, also turned his head.
If I had said something, I would have been less angry. Due to the two people’s complete disregard, Hong Wi-moon’s murderous spirit grew.
“Is it okay if it’s cheap white liquor?”
“Of course. “As long as the glass is clean.”
“I cleaned it well until it made a crispy sound. Let’s take a refreshing breath.”
“It is an honour. “Oh my, who is that fox?”
“This is a guy I’m raising.”
“It’s so cute.”
“…It’s a monster, so don’t touch it carelessly. “My finger gets bitten.”
A suppressed voice came out from the mouth of Hong Wi-moon, who was glaring at the two people as they disappeared while having a long conversation.
“…Seoryang.”
* * *
Although it cannot be compared to Cheonwijeong, the front yard of Wonju’s private annex within Hwanheewon was also quite beautiful.
Soyeonsim, who was sitting on the bench, glanced to the side.
“Who is he?”
Ma Dong-pil slightly lowered his head. But there was no further greeting.
Xu Liang gave her a glass and said.
“My friend is Ma Dong-pil from the defense court. “He is my benefactor who saved my life several times in the Gojuk Forest.”
So Yeon-sim’s eyes sparkled with interest, and Ma Dong-pil’s face was filled with embarrassment.
“These are difficult words to accept, Confucius.”
“As you can see, there is no flexibility.”
Ma Dong-pil, who was even more embarrassed, lowered his head. It was because I didn’t know what kind of expression to make.
Seo-ryang chuckled when he saw that. The fox cub riding on my shoulder struggled to keep from falling.
A smile appeared on Soyeonsim’s face.
‘They’re so friendly.’
Is it because of the experience of life and death? Or was this just his original personality?
There was a big difference between the Three Confucius she remembered and the Three Confucius of today. It was almost as if it was someone else.
However, I didn’t think it was staged. Because that kind of atmosphere cannot be created artificially.
I felt like my angry mind was calming down little by little at the sight of humanity, which is rare in Protestantism.
“Would you like to have a drink?”
“It is an honour.”
The scent of Baekju poured out was very strong.
“I will follow you, Confucius.”
“I am also honored.”
The two people who filled their glasses clinked them together.
“He’s a bit harsh too. Are you okay?”
“Alcohol can be sweet or bitter depending on who you drink it with.”
Xu Liang smiled.
“How about now?”
“It is written in moderation and sweetened in moderation.”
Although he was feeling the pressure of being a third-tier person, it meant that at least for now, he was making a good impression. The start wasn’t bad.
When So Yeon-sim was about to open her mouth again, Seo-ryang spoke.
“I know that Wonju’s feelings are not good. There is no need to change your mind. “I think it makes sense to give you the answer you want first.”
Saying what you want to say first takes the pressure off. Soyeonsim was even more relaxed.
“What is the age of the patient with malignancy?”
“…I’m twenty-five.”
“Was the martial artist outstanding?”
I don’t know why you’re asking this question. However, Soyeonsim did not ask questions and answered obediently.
“It deserves to be called a talent. “He is so smart that if you teach him one thing, he will understand two or three things.”
“Then the treatment will be quite fast.”
Xiliang looked around.
“Please bring me some paper, pencil, and ink.”
I couldn’t help but ask this time.
“How is that…?”
“It is to write down the rules. Of course, it doesn’t matter if you memorize it.”
“…!”
“There is no need to feel burdened as we only offer healing remedies, excluding the core salvation of martial arts itself.”
“Oh no…”
“That doesn’t mean it isn’t difficult. “It will probably take three days to understand and try the structure.”
“Confucius.”
“There won’t be any major changes right away. “I can’t say for sure because I don’t know the condition, but if you try patiently, you will probably be able to move within half a year.”
Soyeonsim’s eyes widened when she heard the words “half a year.”
“What do you mean by saying that you will be able to move within half a year?”
“As I said, it depends on the quality and the effort. As Wonju said, based on the judgment that he has some talent and that it is not that serious, we expect that there will be no inconvenience in his movements within half a year.”
It is said that a person who is unable to walk due to paralysis can become mobile within six months. Considering that even the members of the Blood Spirit House expressed their disapproval, this was a difficult statement to believe.
So Yeon-sim’s eyes, who were looking at Seo-ryang blankly, sparkled.
“Since Confucius said so, I will also tell you straight away, putting aside whether I believe it or not.”
“That’s right.”
“What do you want from me?”
Xu Liang smiled and answered.
