Possessing a Murim Clan’s Youngest Son - Chapter 89
Episode 89. Audience with the Lord
The Murim Lord’s office was very spacious.
In addition, various beautiful works of art, military equipment, and equipment were placed here and there around the area.
In addition to Buddhist paintings, paintings of monks practicing martial arts, statues that seem to have the appearance of immortals engraved on them, and spears with stylish handle patterns, etc.
Han Ibi thought with her mouth wide open.
‘Why are there so many?’
Then I soon realized why.
‘Ah. These are things brought by past Murim lords. Since every time he was elected, he would have eaten it mainly at Shaolin shamans…’
And then, at the huge table in the middle of the office, a man who looked dignified and proud caught my eye.
He looked like he was in his mid to late thirties at best, but his hair was white here and there, giving him an out-of-place look.
Even though people came in, the man seemed to be busy reading a mountain of documents.
At that time, Maeng Gap-son said.
“Lord. “I brought a guest from the Qingcheng faction.”
Ugh? Hawk lord?
Do you look that young?
However, the man at the table still frowned and glared at the documents in front of him as he spoke.
“Maeng Gapson.”
huh? Why does this guy who looks young and blue speak informally?
However, Maeng Gap-son answered as if nothing had happened.
“yes. Lord Maeng.”
“Why hasn’t the dispute between the Daeyu faction and the Jaho green limchae been resolved yet?”
“sorry. “We dispatched people to both sides, but it seems that the occasional clashes have intensified emotions on both sides.”
The man looked up at Maeng Gap-son again with a dissatisfied expression.
“If we can’t deal with one of these bandit gangs, how will the prestige of the Murim League not fall to the ground?”
“As you know, Jaho Noklimchae is… humhum. Anyway, Lord. Why don’t we postpone that conversation for a while? The disciples of the Qingcheng Sect have arrived here.”
Only then did the man put the documents down on the table and glanced at Han Ibi and the others.
“what. “I would have told you not to have any visitors for the time being because there is a lot of work to do.”
Maeng Gap-son said with a slight smile.
“A few days ago, Lord Maeng said that he would prioritize the affairs of the Qingcheng Sect.”
Then the man responded by lightly tapping his forehead.
“Achacha. Cheongseong faction… Cheongseong faction… I see. “That happened.”
Maeng Gap-son spoke to Han Ibi’s group.
“Say hello. “This is Zhuge Yuxian (諸葛柔炫) Dahyeop of the Zhuge family, the 33rd Murim lord.”
At that time, information suddenly flashed through Han Ibi’s mind.
‘iced coffee! I remember. I remember. In Yeomsajimong, the Murim lord was uniquely produced from the Murim family, not from the old faction! Did you say it was the first time in nearly 300 years? Zhuge Sega usually uses his outstanding intelligence and is faithful to supporting roles. However, it is said that Zhuge Yuxian, who gained experience and rose to the ranks of martial arts masters, eventually rose to the position of leader thanks to the efforts of his family members who tried to create a leader from Sega. That was this guy named Zhuge Yuxian!’
Yes.
According to the novel’s description, Zhuge Yuxian was over fifty, but he looked like a young man in his thirties.
Not only does he look young, but he is also quite handsome.
So, in today’s terms, middle-aged?
I could see hearts pouring out of the eyes of Yeo Nan-ju next to me.
At that time, Jong Ri-hyuk spoke.
“hello? It is an honor to meet the Murim Lord like this. My name is Jong Ri-hyuk of the Cheongseong faction. “This way…”
Jong Li-hyuk pointed to each member of Han Yi-bi’s group and called them by name.
“It is called Soeun-ri Yeonanju Jongrimae.”
what. Why am I so bad again?
Anyway, I had no choice but to say hello in turn as I was introduced.
At that time, Zhuge Yuxian said with an expression of interest.
“Do you mean they both have the last name Zhongli?”
Jong Lihyuk nodded.
“That’s right. “We are… brothers.”
“Ohh. Right. “Because Mr. Zhongli is by no means common.”
Maeng Gap-son said to Jong Ri-hyuk.
“Hurry and report to the Lord.”
“All right.”
As Jong Ri-hyuk answered, he took out the report he had prepared.
Zhuge Yuxian accepted it and began to read quietly.
In the meantime, the group had no choice but to wait.
Around that time, Han Ibi was twisting her body, exhausted from the long wait.
After reading the entire report, Zhuge Yuxian opened his mouth.
“Is everything here completely true?”
Jong Lihyuk answered.
“That’s right.”
“What kind of people did that trashy evil bastard from the Nine Heavens era join hands with? “Tsk, tsk, I can’t keep a stupid person like this in jail…”
Then Zhuge Yuxian muttered with a thoughtful expression for a moment.
“Are you really saying that there is an illusion that can make people violent like this?…”
At that time, Han Ibi interjected as if she was frustrated.
“It’s not an ordinary illusion, but a combination of pills and sound techniques.”
Then, Zhuge Yuxian looked at Han Yi Fei with an expression that seemed to say, ‘What is this?’
Han Ibi felt like her face was getting warm for no reason.
Zhuge Yuxian said.
“It was expressed simply to make it easier to understand, but do you really think I didn’t even understand the contents of the report?”
“That’s not true.”
Zhuge Yuxian snorted ‘Hmph’ as if he didn’t like it, then handed over the report to Maeng Gap-sun and said,
“You should read it too.”
“yes.”
Maeng Gap-son answered while politely accepting the report.
Zhuge Yuxian waited for a while and then asked.
“How is it?”
Maeng Gap-son also answered while frowning.
“What a strange thing.”
“Do you know who is behind it?”
Maeng Gap-son shook his head and said.
“It’s hard to guess based on this information alone.”
“Hmm. “Let’s show it to the Four Wise Men and let them agree on their opinions.”
“yes. All right.”
‘ah! Sahyeonwi!’
At that time, familiar words came into Hanibi’s mind.
According to Yeomsajimong, the Murim lord is assisted by four men called the Four Heavenly Kings of Murim, and his power is by no means equal to that of the lord.
This is because, in addition to his duties as a guard, he was also the person with whom he discussed important matters of Gangho.
The current generation’s Sahyeonwi is from the Shaolin shaman Hwasan Namgung family.
At that moment, Zhuge Yuxian spoke.
“Anyway, I understand.”
Was it Han Yi-bi’s illusion that at that moment she felt as if Zhuge Yuxian was looking at the four of them?
He mumbled as if he was talking to himself.
“That’s right. “I just don’t believe it.”
Then Maeng Gap-son said.
“It’s something he mentioned directly, so we can’t ignore it.”
“Well, time will tell.”
Han Ibi and the others were confused as they couldn’t figure out what the leader was talking about.
“Anyway, you guys can just leave.”
Jong Ri-hyuk, who was already extremely bored, quickly answered.
“yes. All right.”
Jong Ri-hyuk waved his goodbyes as he did when he came in and said his goodbyes plainly.
“Lord. “I hope you stay healthy.”
Zhuge Yuxian responded by waving his hand as if he was annoyed.
“I’m naturally healthy, so don’t worry. See you later.”
Ugh? See you again…?
It must be a normal greeting.
What else would there be for us, powerful bastards, to see the Murim Lord?
Anyway, they escaped from the Murim Lord’s office under the guidance of Maeng Gap-son.
Outside was still crowded with people.
It was truly far from the audience with the Murim lord in martial arts that Han Ibi had imagined.
‘I feel like Kang-ho’s romance has been lost a bit because the reality has been strengthened too much…’
Han Ibi traced the next story in her head as she chased after Maeng Gap-son, who was striding outside.
‘Now… the next plot is that these three people return to the Cheongseong faction after completing an errand for the Cheongseong general. Of course I wasn’t there.’
Yes.
In ‘Yeomsaji Dream’, these three people immediately set off towards Mt. Cheongseong.
In fact, this can be said to be the true introduction to ‘Yeomsaji Dream’.
This is because there is an opportunity for Jong Ri-hyuk to step up to the level of a true protagonist.
So-called coincidence.
This and that reason are similar to each other, and there is not much differentiation between martial arts novels, so it can be a subject of criticism, but…
‘keke. Still, it would be a shame if martial arts novels were lacking in spirit. I don’t know, but readers will have less work to do.’
So was it like that?
He was a father who sometimes embarrassed Han Ibi with his embarrassing settings.
This part, where Jong Ri-hyuk gets his chance, was a very formal and cliché scene.
So, on the way back, due to some kind of incident, Jong Ri-hyuk gets lost and accidentally ends up in a cave in the cliff, where he gets lucky.
‘Well, I don’t remember the person’s name and the martial artist’s name…’
It wasn’t very unique for a first-time skill, but it was still an opportunity to sharply increase my power.
It is a valuable setting that guides the main character until the middle of the novel.
Han Ibi thought.
‘Okay, okay. This event is really very important to me. First of all, I have to stick close to Jong Ri-hyuk. At least we should get a chance to learn together. How can I naturally guide her in that direction?…’
Just as Han Ibi was struggling to recall the details of the situation in which she gained prominence, Maeng Gap-son’s story was told.
“Then, now that I have finished reporting to the Lord Maeng…”
The eyes of the companions were focused on Maeng Gap-son.
“…I guess I need to prepare for the induction.”
At that time, Yeo Nanju couldn’t hide her puzzled expression and asked.
“What do you mean by admission?”
Then Maeng Gap-son suddenly laughed loudly and said.
“I always feel sorry too. But since everyone came in this way, I don’t think there will be any resentment.”
Han Ibi, who realized something suspicious was going on, also spoke.
“yes? “What do you mean by that?”
Maeng Gap-son still spoke with a smile on his face.
“Do you still believe that four people went to the Murim Alliance to report? And that too by sending in bright young people?”
Jong Ri-hyuk seemed equally embarrassed.
“Maeng Daehyeop. We can’t figure out the whole story. “Please speak so I can understand.”
“Okay. No, now that everyone knows, I can talk comfortably. “It’s a pity that I only told the story to the Qingcheng faction because it was a top secret matter.”
Han Ibi and the others were just dumbfounded as they looked at each other’s faces.
Maeng Gap-son continued.
“Actually, the reason you came here was to enter a training course organized by the Murim Alliance.”
An awkward silence flowed between the group…
Jong Ri-hyuk, who came to his senses after a long time, asked.
“When it comes to training… what kind of training process are you talking about… we are completely confused.”
“Ah, as I said before, this is a difficult matter to talk about carelessly. “I’m sorry, but you will find out little by little, so please don’t ask any more questions today.”
Then, an angry Yeonanju voice was heard.
“No, Maeng Daehyeop. Where in the world is there such a law? When a prisoner is imprisoned, he knows his crime. “No matter how much we are martial blind, shouldn’t we at least ask a doctor?”
“Your opinions are not important. I’m starting to get irritated because it seems like it’s happening over and over again… “All agreements have already been resolved with Jang Mun-in of the Qingseong faction.”
Wow, then this old lady Bok Yeon-hwa sold us out?
Han Ibi said in tears.
“Well, let’s say that’s it. But shouldn’t we at least know where we are joining?”
Then Maeng Gap-son said.
“Hmm… Well, actually, there is no official name. But among us, we call this process the salt society.”
