130.

“You’re upset, aren’t you?”

At her question, Hwangbo Cheonak couldn’t give any answer.

“Seol Podoo is too much. He knows your situation perfectly well, brother.”

Hwangbo Cheonak smiled bitterly.

“Mujin-i must have his own circumstances too.”

“Even so, that’s going too far. It’s not just any matter, but something about mother.”

Hwangbo Cheonak suddenly felt his heart sink.

Was this what it felt like to have someone by your side who unconditionally took your side?

As his heart calmed down, his head seemed to cool as well.

“What do you think about the proposal Mujin-i made?”

“Are you seriously considering Seol Podoo’s proposal?”

“Honestly, what Mujin-i said isn’t wrong. I’m angry, but it’s true that my future is uncertain.”

If he were alone, he could have just gone with the flow of life.

But Namgung Hyemin, who was now by his side, made Hwangbo Cheonak think about his future.

He now had someone he was responsible for.

“Honestly, it’s not bad. Becoming the owner of a sect isn’t easy.”

“But it seems like Mujin-i would hold the real power?”

“If you don’t like it while doing it, you can just quit. And Seol Podoo isn’t someone who would do shameless things.”

“I don’t know about other things, but I can trust Seol Mujin as a person. Haa―!”

Namgung Hyemin stroked the back of Hwangbo Cheonak, who was holding his head in worry.

“Brother, just follow your heart. We’re still young.”

The two words “we” from Namgung Hyemin melted into Hwangbo Cheonak’s heart like snowflakes.

“I should make the best decision for us, right?”

Hwangbo Cheonak’s gaze, which had been lowered toward Namgung Hyemin, quickly turned toward the main gate.

‘I need to get our own house soon.’

***

‘What are my younger siblings doing?’

Whenever he had even a moment of leisure, the Triplets would jump into Seol Mujin’s mind.

He hadn’t known that not having the Triplets around would feel so empty.

Yeon Gok entered the room and placed two boxes on the table.

“This is the last batch. I’m absolutely not making any more Lotus Empress Attack Pills.”

Yeon Gok’s face clearly showed signs of fatigue as he said this.

“Thank you.”

“But who are you planning to give these to?”

“Cheonag-i and Namgung Sojo.”

“What? You’re giving these precious things to those two? Are they that important?”

“There’s no one around me who isn’t important.”

Yeon Gok, who had been observing Seol Mujin’s expression, asked.

“You’re worried about the Samtaesang who went to the Demonic Cult, aren’t you?”

“Is it that obvious?”

“I never thought the day would come when someone would worry about the Samtaesang. You don’t need to worry. They’re people who would survive even in hell.”

“I believe that too, but I still worry and feel empty.”

“What if the Demonic Cult Leader really fell into qi deviation?”

“What could I do about it?”

“The position of Demonic Cult Leader would be vacant.”

“I suppose so.”

“Seol Podoo, you’re also one of the candidates for Cult Leader.”

Seol Mujin was startled.

“What? How am I a candidate for Cult Leader?”

“You learned Demonic Cult martial arts from the Samtaesang, didn’t you?”

“I did learn internal energy mind techniques, but that makes me a candidate for Cult Leader?”

“The Samtaesang call you brother, but strictly speaking, aren’t you their disciple?”

“I don’t want to be strict about it.”

“The Samtaesang were deceived by that damn Cult Leader and imprisoned in Thunder Prison, but they weren’t expelled from the sect. That means the Samtaesang are still the highest elders of the Demonic Cult. If the Cult Leader dies without naming a Young Sect Leader, the Samtaesang would be the ones who could wield the greatest influence.”

“My younger siblings have already left the Demonic Cult.”

“If they return after the Cult Leader dies, who could stop them?”

“That’s true, but…”

“Seol Podoo, you would be perfect as a Cult Leader. You could surely restore the name Mingjiao.”

Seol Mujin waved his hands dismissively.

“There’s absolutely no chance of me becoming the Demonic Cult Leader.”

“If that’s how you feel, the possibility is slim, but you never know what the future holds.”

Yeon Gok changed the subject.

“Will you establish that new sect in Jinan?”

“That would probably be best, wouldn’t it? The Hwangbo Family Estate is there, and relations with the government office would be smooth.”

“You still haven’t changed your mind about making Hwangbo Cheonak the sect leader?”

“If he refuses to the end, there’s nothing I can do, but I want to entrust it to Cheonag-i.”

“Isn’t he too young?”

“He’s one year older than me.”

“Seol Podoo, you’re exceptionally special.”

“I don’t know if Cheonag-i will want to take it on. He’ll have to work with Myeoncheonhoe, which won’t be easy to accept.”

“If he won’t accept it because of such things, then that would be the limit of Hwangbo Cheonak’s capacity, wouldn’t it?”

Seol Mujin stood up, putting the two boxes in his pouch.

“You’ve worked hard and thank you. I absolutely won’t ask for such favors again.”

Yeon Gok chuckled.

“I’m just complaining, so don’t worry about it.”

“Then next time again…”

“I’ll sprinkle salt on you.”

After thanking him once more, Seol Mujin went home.

As he opened the main gate and entered, Hwangbo Cheonak happened to come out to the main hall.

“Where’s Namgung Sojo?”

“In her room.”

“I have something to talk about.”

“Me too.”

“You go first.”

“You first.”

“Let’s see Namgung Sojo together.”

When Seol Mujin entered the room, Hwangbo Cheonak came in shortly after, bringing Namgung Hyemin with him.

As the two sat in chairs, Seol Mujin took out a wooden box from his pouch.

“What’s that?”

“Eat it. It’s good for your body.”

“Tonic medicine?”

“Similar. Your internal energy will increase by about one full cycle. There are several other benefits too.”

Hwangbo Cheonak and Namgung Hyemin were shocked.

Internal energy increasing by one full cycle?

This wasn’t just tonic medicine, but a legendary spiritual medicine.

“You’re joking, right?”

“What?”

“That internal energy increases by one jiazi.”

“It seemed like it increased by one jiazi more.”

“Hey! Why are you giving us something like that!”

“I don’t get much effect from eating it anymore. This medicine originally has dramatic effects only once.”

“Anyway, it’s a legendary elixir! It’s literally worth a fortune, so why are you giving it to us!”

“I’m giving it because it’s you.”

“What am I to you!”

“A friend.”

Hwangbo Cheonak was suddenly at a loss for words.

This emotion that made his heavy chest flutter was something he had never felt in his entire life.

Yes, let’s honestly admit it was being moved.

In words, he had called Seol Mujin a friend, and Hwangbo Cheonak actually thought so.

But he wasn’t sure how Seol Mujin thought of him.

Perhaps he might consider him just a bothersome dependent?

Even if he had such feelings, he had no intention of blaming Seol Mujin.

Since he was a dependent who wasn’t much help to Seol Mujin.

Teaching kids at the orphanage couldn’t be called giving, since he learned a lot while teaching.

There was only one reason to give a legendary elixir to Hwangbo Cheonak, who was of no help.

Only the name of friend could make that possible.

“You bastard, giving me something like this, how much are you planning to work me…”

If he said more, he felt like he might shed tears, so he swallowed whatever was rising in his throat.

“I’ll work you to the bone.”

Namgung Hyemin was equally moved.

With no particular connection and having exchanged only a few words, giving her such a precious elixir must be because of Hwangbo Cheonak.

Though she hadn’t known Seol Mujin for very long, just this alone showed her what kind of person Seol Mujin was.

“If I just accept this, I’d become too shameless…”

“Think of it as an advance payment.”

Though she didn’t know what it was an advance for, Namgung Hyemin nodded.

Seol Mujin brought up the main topic.

“Have you thought about what I said?”

“If you give me something like this and ask if I’ve thought about it, what can I say?”

“What would you say?”

“Do I have to work with the Myeoncheonhoe Gang Leader?”

“You probably won’t even see his face.”

“Then that’s fine. But…”

When Hwangbo Cheonak’s words didn’t continue despite waiting, Seol Mujin asked.

“What are you hesitating about?”

“That Gang Leader… Can I do it? I lack experience and my martial arts aren’t that outstanding.”

“Experience naturally accumulates, and you’re strong enough.”

“But I’m weaker than Manager Byeon Taebang?”

“How strong do you think Manager Byeon Taebang is?”

“About the level of a Nine Great Sects leader?”

Seol Mujin, who had been staring at Hwangbo Cheonak, chuckled.

“You really do lack experience.”

The strongest person Hwangbo Cheonak had fought so far was at most the Oryongbang leader level.

So it was impossible for him to accurately gauge other people’s martial arts levels.

“Manager Byeon’s martial arts are at least at the level of Nine Great Sects elders.”

“What? Manager Byeon is that much of a master?”

“Yes. If you take that medicine, you’ll become comparable to Manager Byeon.”

“Then will I become as strong as my sister?”

The person Hwangbo Cheonak had been chasing from behind was Hwangbo Ryeoseon.

He had always thought he’d have no regrets if only he could become as strong as Hwangbo Ryeoseon.

“If Lady Hwangbo has been lazy, you might even be stronger.”

Hwangbo Cheonak looked at the Lotus Flower Impact Pill in his hand and muttered, ‘That’s right.’

“There’s still a lot of time left before establishing the new sect. It’ll take at least a year.”

Since scattered forces needed to be gathered and buildings newly constructed, a year was the minimum estimate.

“It’s time to learn what you need to do as a sect leader. If you really don’t know, you can go ask the family head.”

“Father?”

“Is there a better teacher?”

Hwangbo Cheonak shook his head.

Seol Mujin’s gaze shifted to Namgung Hyemin.

“Lady Namgung, please help Cheonag a lot too.”

“Of course. And… thank you so much. I won’t forget this kindness.”

It wasn’t just about the Lotus Flower Impact Pill.

Seol Mujin was the person who had given Hwangbo Cheonak and Namgung Hyemin a reason to live.

Seol Mujin stood up and said.

“Then I’ll go visit the Hwangbo Family Estate.”

As Seol Mujin crossed the courtyard, Hwangbo Cheonak called out.

“Entrusting me with the sect leader position – you’ll never be disappointed.”

Seol Mujin only waved his hand behind his back.

***

Before leaving for the Hwangbo Family Estate, Seol Mujin stopped by the Wangho Association again.

But he only heard that Gang Leader Zhuge Sangun hadn’t returned yet.

Zhuge Sangun, who had gone to the Jegal Family with the heads of the Hwangbo and Namgung families, should have returned by now.

The fact that he hadn’t returned yet meant something had definitely happened.

Seol Mujin used his light body technique to hurry toward the Hwangbo Family Estate.

Seol Mujin, who had left Jinan in the morning, arrived at the Hwangbo Family Estate while there was still plenty of daylight left.

“Welcome!”

Though he had been tense about Zhuge Sangun’s lack of contact, Hwangbo Hunyong’s face was full of smiles as he greeted Seol Mujin.

Fortunately, it didn’t seem like anything had happened, but he still asked about Zhuge Sangun first.

“Gang Leader Zhuge hasn’t returned to Jinan yet. Did something happen at the Jegal Family?”

“Sangun will need to stay at the Jegal Family a bit longer. I was just about to discuss that matter with you, and you’ve come at the perfect time.”

In the office he went to with Hwangbo Hunyong, unexpectedly Namgung Cheolsang was also there.

“To meet Seol Podoo here. I’ve come at just the right time.”

“Elder, you were here too.”

“I was just about to visit you. Is Hyemin doing well?”

“Yes. She’s been devoted to internal energy cultivation lately.”

“Internal energy cultivation? That child has taken an interest in martial arts?”

“Isn’t it natural for a daughter of the Namgung Family?”

“That’s true, but she was a child who had no interest in martial arts.”

“Anyone can change at any time, can’t they?”

“The reason for the change wasn’t good…”

“Her wounds have all healed and the scars aren’t that deep.”

“Really?”

“Rather, think of it as a blessing in disguise. You’ll be amazed when you meet her next time.”

“Hearing you say that puts my mind at ease. Thank you anyway.”

“Don’t mention it.”

Hwangbo Hunyong asked.

“How is Cheonag-i doing?”

“He’s doing well.”

“That’s a relief to hear. It seems we’ve ended up entrusting the painful fingers of both Segas to you.”

“I’ve gained good friends.”

“Thank you for saying that.”

Seol Mujin turned the topic to Zhuge Sangun.

“Why is Gang Leader Zhuge staying at the Zhuge Family for so long?”
