Possessing a Murim Clan’s Youngest Son - Chapter 91
Episode 91. Orientation
Wang Si-ik was pointing inside the door with a smile as dull as his body.
It probably means go in.
Han I-bi was the fourth to enter, following Jong Ri-hyuk and Yeo Nan-ju So Eun-ri.
And carbon dioxide everywhere.
Although it was a large space, it felt cramped because of the young people filling it.
At first glance, it seemed like there were about five to sixty people.
There were a few people in their twenties, but most of them had young faces, as if they were in their mid to late teens.
Han Ibi thought.
‘Holy shit. It really feels like you’re at school.’
At that moment, the voices of the young people talking to each other became quiet.
This was because he noticed the new member of Han Ibi’s group and watched them with curious eyes.
At that time, a middle-aged man in light attire who was quietly crossing his arms near the podium in the first half of the class, like a teacher, greeted them.
“I heard about it yesterday. “You came from the Qingcheng sect?”
Jong Lihyuk answered.
“That’s right.”
Then, murmurs were heard from all over the place.
Some of the stories were ‘so good’ that they got on Han Ebi’s nerves.
“Why did the Qingcheng Sect come here?”
“So, that’s right. “It’s a topic that can’t even be included in the old school.”
“Hey hey. What can I say? “There must be something behind it.”
“By the way, did four people come in a group like that?”
“Hehehe. “Well, since I’m not good at it, I guess they’re just trying to push me to the side.”
“But what about that thin-faced person?”
“So… why is it that he is not Kang Ho-in…”
Han Ibi is in tears.
I was just about to scratch the people who said those words with a glance.
A middle-aged man said, pointing to a corner.
“I’ve prepared a place for you. “You can just go over there and sit down.”
“thank you.”
After Jong Ri-hyuk gave his thanks, the four people walked over and sat down in the empty seat.
Han Ibi was surprised as she sat down.
This Hyeongseoldang was decorated like a modern university lecture hall.
There was a set of paper, brush, ink, and ink stones neatly placed on the desk, and it was shiny and shiny, so it could be said to be of the highest quality.
Han Ibi opened her mouth and thought.
‘As expected, the scale is different because it is a Murim League…’
He glanced at So Eun-ri and Yeo Nan-ju.
So Eun-ri, as always, was making an expression that showed no emotion.
On the other hand, Yeo Nan-ju… like a child, everything she liked was evident on her face.
The image of a middle school girl buying and liking a luxury pen at a famous pen store was overlapped.
And the stinging gazes of men glancing at them…
As expected, their beauty was noticeable everywhere.
It was then.
Isn’t the entrance in front of Hyeongseoldang suddenly opening again?
The eyes of the young warriors, including Han Ibi, focused on that direction.
Then I was shocked.
This is because it felt like the inside of Hyeongseoldang suddenly became brighter.
Is it because of my mood that the faces of the women who make up less than a fifth of the entire garden seem to be turning red?…
That’s right.
The reason they were surprised was because so many handsome men entered.
I think he was in his late teens or so.
He had a dazzling appearance that made him look like he could have been a member of an idol group if he had been born in modern times.
And what’s even more surprising is… the fact that the two of them look almost identical.
If one young man had not had long hair, no one would have been able to easily tell them apart.
The middle-aged man in light clothing asked again with a smile.
“Where do the small cooperatives come from?”
Among the two young men, the one with the long hair said while making a bow.
“hello? It’s too late.”
The clear tone, which is mid-bass but not too low, is impressive.
“We arrived from the opening a little while ago.”
Then, expressions of astonishment appeared on the faces of all the young people.
That’s because openness refers to a group of beggars, but these two people were radiating the force of noblemen.
Come to think of it, there were traces of fabric being patched on their clothes.
However, their hangers were so powerful that even that could be considered a fresh, up-to-date style.
But maybe it was because I already knew all the information? The middle-aged man in light clothing didn’t seem to care much about the situation.
He said.
“great. Finally, all the chosen boy heroes have gathered here. Now, you two can go sit over there.”
Then the two young men offered their thanks and walked into the seat.
Just like with Han Ibi, I heard whispering.
“Did the opening also dispatch a candidate?”
“That’s right. Even though Gyeongjae has enemies in the Murim Alliance, he is famous for not meddling to a large extent…”
A woman’s voice was also mixed.
“How about that and how about that? “Anyway, aren’t they… so cool?”
There was quite a bit of Sigi’s voice mixed in as well.
“How cool is that? “Let’s just say beggars are cool.”
Finally, the two young men sat down.
Then, a middle-aged man stood up on a simple podium and spoke.
“Well, I’ve seen some of you beforehand, but… today is the first time we’re meeting officially. Let me introduce myself first. “My name is Heo Son-dam, and I am in charge of administrative affairs at the salt society.”
The young people responded face to face while sitting.
Of course, Han Ibi didn’t know what a pajeongsa was, but she followed the others and awkwardly responded.
Heo Son-dam continued.
“Today’s event… was possible thanks to the determination of many leaders and family heads of the Murim Alliance. “I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to the Jangmun people and the head of the family for generously granting me this difficult request.”
Han Ibi thought.
‘What… if you’re talking like that, you should call those guys over and do it. ‘What’s the use of doing this to children?’
said Heo Son-dam.
“Today, we are here with the nine great factions, including Shaolin shaman, Hwasan Ami, Jeomchang, Kunlun Jeonjin Manhakhak, and Chaoyangmun. Also, there are five generations of the Sichuan Moyong, Zhuge, Nangong, Hebei Peng family. And finally, the boy heroes of the imperial army are invited to attend. “The number of people in each clan is slightly different.”
At that time, Yeo Nanju slightly raised her hand and said.
“Huh Daehyeop. I think you forgot about the Qingcheng Sect.”
Then Heo Son-dam slapped his forehead with an apologetic expression and said.
“Achacha. Since there was a change later, I didn’t realize it and left it out. “I’m sorry about this.”
At that time, Han Ibi was looking around and saw familiar people.
It was the Yun Bangmun of the Jeomchang school and the Dangbaekmun of the Sacheondang school.
‘They were there too!’
The two were none other than young men who had been sent to the mountain lodge to find Gu Cheon-se when he ran away.
‘Since he was successful in his sect, he must have been dispatched to track down the Nine Heavens… Ah…! Now that I think about it, I can’t see Dang A-yeon. If she hadn’t been killed by Gu Cheon-se, she would have been here too…’
At that time, Heo Son-dam’s voice was heard.
“Some of you may know, but the reason we have gathered here with difficulty is… because the movements of the dark sects and demonic cults are unusual.”
At that moment, someone asked.
“The Black Way and the Demonic Cult… aren’t they all there?”
Then Heo Son-dam shook his head and answered.
“It’s not like that. “Both the Black Path and the Demonic Cult have something in common in that they cause harm to the powerful and the people, but in reality, each has its own power and they do not cooperate with each other.”
a girl asked.
“So… are you saying that the forces of the Dark Island and the evil beasts of the Demonic Cult are joining forces?”
Heo Son-dam shook his head.
“There is no exact basis. However, if that happens, it will pose a great threat not only to our Murim Alliance but also to the imperial family.”
Han Ibi thought.
‘One way or another, the Qingcheng faction is in the background…’
said Heo Son-dam.
“In fact, strange incidents that raise suspicions about such things have been occurring frequently recently.”
someone asked.
“What kind of things are you talking about?”
“Please understand that I cannot reveal this publicly here. In fact, since the armistice that ended the civil
war about 300 years ago…
” Each faction has grown in its own way. “In particular, in the case of the Demonic Cult, which hides in the police station and does not reveal its identity, there is no information at all.”
A voice was heard again.
“Then the reason we are gathered here is to learn about the Demonic Cult?”
“Well, if I were to put it simply, I guess I could explain it that way. Anyway, I won’t explain the details since you will learn more about them as you go through the process.”
For a while, we could hear people talking to each other.
Then Heo Son-dam raised his hand to stop it and said.
“Among these, the five who achieved excellent results… will be given the title of Little Five Dragons, officially recognized by the Murim Alliance.”
The whispering sounds of the young people became louder.
That’s because ‘Five Dragons’ is a nickname given to the five most incompetent people in the old group.
So, if, through this process, you can take on the name of ‘So-Oh-Pay-Ryong’… your success in the powerhouse will be no different from the odds.
I could feel the eyes of most young people shining brightly.
However, Han Ibi was thinking about something else.
His only goal is ‘to return home’.
So I wasn’t interested in fighting for honor.
At that moment, I decided that I had to go back and find the ‘giyeon’ that I had planned as soon as possible.
Tiriring!
[Main Quest Occurs: Achieve excellent grades in the Flame Society process and receive the name of the Little Five Dragons.]
[There is an unknown reward.]
Huh!
What is this again!
System! Why do you show up every time like this and make a fuss?
why me? why me!
Why do I have to be given the title of ‘So-Oh-Pay-Ryong’ by a society that has nothing to do with me?
Tiriring!
[Warning: The main quest is essential for progress and cannot be ignored or canceled.]
Wow!
Han Ibi felt like she was going to collapse at any moment with foam at the mouth.
At that time, So Eun-ri, who was sitting next to me, saw that and asked, somewhat surprised.
“Is there anything wrong with your body?”
Han Ibi was surprised but spoke with a calm expression.
“no. no. “I just had something to think about…”
That was then.
I saw the entrance to Hyeongseoldang open again.
There stood a short and thin old man with extremely fierce eyes.
Heo Son-dam, who saw this, seemed very embarrassed and didn’t know what to do, so he greeted her in a panic.
“How did Lord Hoe get here…”
Then the old man called Lord Hoe glanced at Heo Son-dam and spoke in a sharp tone.
“How can you pretend not to notice when such a serious ceremony is taking place?”
Then he suddenly shouted loudly at the young people.
“With those arrogant bastards! “I can’t sit up straight!”
Then, instinctively, the young men straightened their backs and corrected their posture.
The old man grunted and continued speaking.
“Looking at the sitting posture, it was really weird. Get your mind straight! Whether he’s a minor hero or a major hero, he’s acting really damn hard. You guys didn’t come here because you were smart. “They are so-called half-baked people. If you were a long-time writer, would you send your best talent to work like this?”
Then, the expressions of the young soldiers, who had been dumbfounded by the appearance of the old man, hardened.
The old man spoke again.
“If you’re just trying to kill time, it would be better to turn it off right now!”
Silence across the crowd….
