35.

 

Yeon Gok, moving with urgent steps, spoke to Seol Mujin.

 

“Captain Seol. Hwangbo Ryeoseon must not use her internal energy. If she does, even if Daera Immortal came instead of me, she couldn’t be saved.”

 

But seeing Hwangbo Ryeoseon’s momentum, she wasn’t in a state to listen even if they tried to stop her.

 

The two warriors couldn’t stop Hwangbo Ryeoseon, but they blocked Seol Mujin.

 

“Outsiders cannot enter!”

 

Seol Mujin punched the left warrior in the jaw and spun around to strike the other one’s jaw with his elbow.

 

As he took down both of them, the thought ‘I should learn pressure point techniques’ crossed his mind.

 

“Hwang Soyeon! Come out!”

 

Hwangbo Ryeoseon drew her sword while looking for someone.

 

It seemed she hadn’t come to kill Bae Hyeonjin.

 

Whoever Hwang Soyeon was, if they didn’t stop this here, a fight would break out and Hwangbo Ryeoseon would be a dead woman.

 

Seol Mujin launched his body upward and dropped down above Hwangbo Ryeoseon’s head.

 

Hwangbo Ryeoseon, who had focused all her attention on Hwang Soyeon, didn’t sense Seol Mujin’s presence.

 

But Sang Chiyeon detected Seol Mujin and tried to draw his sword.

 

“If you stop me, your Young Lady will die!”

 

At those words, Sang Chiyeon hesitated, and Hwangbo Ryeoseon tried to turn around.

 

But Seol Mujin was faster.

 

Thwack!

 

He struck the back of her neck with his hand shaped like a blade, and Hwangbo Ryeoseon collapsed like a log.

 

Seol Mujin caught her as she was about to fall.

 

“What a reckless person.”

 

Whether it was because of the poisoning or if this was her original personality, she was certainly a troublesome patient.

 

“What is this commotion?”

 

At the cold voice, he turned his head to see a woman standing in the main hall.

 

What surprised Seol Mujin was the seductive aura she emanated.

 

Though he had lived among countless women at the pleasure house, this was the first time he’d encountered such allure that could captivate a man instantly.

 

She clearly looked somewhat older, but that age didn’t diminish her seductive charm.

 

Yeon Gok, with his mouth half-open, also couldn’t take his eyes off the woman.

 

“I asked what this disturbance is about.”

 

The only person who could answer that question was Sang Chiyeon.

 

“The Young Lady temporarily lost her reason, so please don’t be concerned.”

 

“She came charging into my house with a blade and you tell me not to be concerned?”

 

“It’s not a knife, it’s a sword.”

 

“Knife or sword, what does it matter? Coming here with a blade means she intended to harm me, doesn’t it?”

 

From the atmosphere, it seemed they had been growling at each other like sworn enemies even in normal times.

 

Seol Mujin didn’t want to get involved, but since Yeon Gok whispered ‘We need to go treat her quickly,’ he had no choice but to speak up.

 

“It was Madness Syndrome manifesting during treatment, not an intention to harm anyone.”

 

“Who…?”

 

The maid who had followed the woman out whispered Seol Mujin’s identity to her.

 

“You say he’s a porter who came with the physician?”

 

Seol Mujin felt like his mind suddenly cleared.

 

It was because of her tone.

 

That tone of feigning ignorance while already knowing who he was.

 

“Then I’ll take my leave.”

 

Since there was no time, he greeted her and was about to turn around when the woman called out.

 

“Wait!”

 

The woman’s face was filled with an expression of interest.

 

“You helped my daughter, so I’d like to show my gratitude. Perhaps we could have tea together later…”

 

“I’ll accept the sentiment alone.”

 

Seol Mujin, carrying Hwangbo Ryeoseon, left the Hwangju Pavilion.

 

Watching his retreating figure, the woman Bae Hyeonjin licked her lips with her tongue.

 

“What an interesting man indeed.”

 

***

 

When had it started?

 

The men who stood before Bae Hyeonjin were all restless and unable to compose themselves.

 

Their expressions were anxious, their speech trembled, and their gazes glistened with desire.

 

Sang Chiyeon didn’t know the reason.

 

While Bae Hyeonjin was beautiful, she was far from being a beauty that could topple nations.

 

She had also seen the emptiness in her as she retreated before time, which gradually gnawed away at her beauty.

 

But at some point, Bae Hyeonjin had overcome the power of time.

 

It was around that time when desire began to glisten in men’s eyes.

 

From women’s perspective, Bae Hyeonjin was just “strangely becoming pretty again,” but men’s feelings seemed different.

 

And this was the first time she had seen it.

 

A man who remained calm before Bae Hyeonjin.

 

‘His back is broad.’

 

As she newly realized this fact, a strange feeling came over her.

 

When Sang Chiyeon turned her head toward that feeling, she was startled.

 

Though she definitely hadn’t sensed any presence, Seol Ryeoseon was staring up at her intently.

 

That child’s gaze was strangely burdensome.

 

“She’s smitten, she is.”

 

“What do you mean…”

 

“She’s totally smitten with big brother.”

 

“Huh?”

 

Seol Mujin said.

 

“Ryeoseon, don’t say useless things.”

 

At that moment, Hwangbo Ryeoseon suddenly bolted upright.

 

“Eek! You startled me!”

 

Yeon Gok, who was retrieving the acupuncture needles he had inserted, was shocked.

 

“I think someone just called my name.”

 

Seol Ryeoseon, who had come to Seol Mujin, whispered.

 

“That woman isn’t normal either.”

 

“Of course not. She’s a patient.”

 

Yeon Gok asked Hwangbo Ryeoseon.

 

“May I finish removing the acupuncture needles?”

 

Hwangbo Ryeoseon examined her body and lay back down.

 

“I think I went to Hwangju Pavilion.”

 

To her question directed at no one in particular, Sang Chiyeon answered.

 

“Yes. You tried to kill Hwang Soyeon.”

 

“That bitch poisoned me.”

 

Yeon Gok urgently said to Sang Chiyeon.

 

“Hold her down.”

 

Since they had already made an arrangement, Sang Chiyeon quickly pressed down on Hwangbo Ryeoseon’s shoulders.

 

Hwangbo Ryeoseon, who was trying to sit up, merely flinched.

 

“Let go.”

 

“I cannot.”

 

Hwangbo Ryeoseon made a ‘huh?’ expression.

 

Sang Chiyeon had grown up with her since she was eight years old.

 

In thirteen years, this was the first time he had said “no” to Hwangbo Ryeoseon’s command.

 

“If you move now, Young Lady, you will die.”

 

Yeon Gok added.

 

“And you won’t be able to get your revenge either. With this body, you can’t even use ten percent of your usual martial power.”

 

Hwangbo Ryeoseon stared at Yeon Gok intently, then closed her eyes and asked.

 

“When will my body return to normal?”

 

“To completely return to normal will take two months.”

 

“What about fifty percent of my martial power?”

 

“About ten days?”

 

“I hope I don’t die from fire disease before then.”

 

“Dying from fire disease isn’t my responsibility, so I don’t care.”

 

When Hwangbo Ryeoseon suddenly opened her eyes, startled Sang Chiyeon pressed down on her shoulders.

 

But Hwangbo Ryeoseon only lifted her head to look at Seol Mujin who was at her feet.

 

“I think you hit me?”

 

Sang Chiyeon said.

 

“It was unavoidable to save Young Lady.”

 

“Hmm. Chiyeon, you’re making excuses for another man?”

 

“That’s not it…”

 

“Hmm. Is that so? Hey, you there. Let me see your face.”

 

“Young Lady is currently undressed.”

 

“Just close your eyes and turn your head.”

 

At that moment, Seol Ryeoseon jumped up onto the bed and blocked the space between Seol Mujin and Hwangbo Ryeoseon.

 

“I’ve been watching and watching, and now you’re really crossing the line.”

 

“Who are you…?”

 

“I saved your life and now you’re trying to act like my master…!”

 

Seol Mujin hastily grabbed Seol Ryeoseon and turned around again.

 

“Why did you come here?”

 

“Oh right! I almost forgot because of that wench. Brother, I have something to tell you, so let’s go.”

 

“I need to guard this place.”

 

“There’s no need to guard such a rude person. Anyway, it’s fine, so let’s go.”

 

Since Seol Ryeoseon said it was fine, there probably wouldn’t be any trouble.

 

The only one who was anxious was Yeon Gok.

 

“Are you leaving?”

 

“I’ll be back shortly.”

 

Seol Mujin left the room with Seol Ryeoseon.

 

Hwangbo Ryeoseon stared at Seol Mujin’s retreating figure, then asked Sang Chiyeon.

 

“Is it just me, or is this situation strange?”

 

“You’ll get used to it soon.”

 

Seol Ryeoseon spoke to Seol Mujin as they headed to their quarters.

 

“Changho came up with a plausible plan.”

 

“What kind of plan?”

 

“A honey trap.”

 

“Huh?”

 

“You were invited by Bae Hyeonjin earlier.”

 

“You were there?”

 

“You’re going to accept Bae Hyeonjin’s invitation.”

 

“I already declined…”

 

“A man has to play hard to get at least once to make a woman desperate.”

 

“This honey trap thing… do I have to do something to the Family Head’s wife?”

 

“Just seduce her.”

 

“No way! I absolutely can’t do something like that!”

 

Seol Ryeoseon grabbed the hand of Seol Mujin, who had stopped dead in his tracks, and pulled him along.

 

“What can’t you do? Hurry up!”

 

“I don’t want to! I said I can’t!”

 

Seol Mujin, dragged along by Seol Ryeoseon, eventually found himself sitting face to face with Seol Changho, who had designed the entire plan.

 

“What Ryeoseon said… that was a joke, right?”

 

“Huh? What did Ryeoseon say?”

 

Seol Ryeoseon suddenly blurted out “Honey trap.”

 

Seol Changho cast a suspicious glance at Seol Ryeoseon.

 

“It doesn’t seem like that’s all you said?”

 

Seol Mujin spoke.

 

“That I need to knock out the Family Head’s wife.”

 

“What a crude way to put it.”

 

“Did I say something wrong?”

 

“Well… you’re not wrong, but…”

 

Seol Mujin asked.

 

“What kind of plan did you two come up with exactly?”

 

Seol Changho said.

 

“If Bae Hyeonjin learned the Soul Seduction Technique, it wouldn’t have been through ordinary means. You felt the demonic energy she was emanating too, hyung.”

 

“I don’t know if it was demonic energy, but the Family Head’s wife certainly wasn’t ordinary.”

 

Seol Ryeoseon patted Seol Mujin’s back.

 

“Our oppa who stayed strong even in the face of such demonic energy. So cool as always. Do you think I’m the only one who felt this? That bitch Bae Hyeonjin must have been weak in the knees too. She’d fall for you if you just smiled at her a little.”

 

Seol Mujin’s expression changed as if he was about to cry.

 

“I have to seduce the Family Head’s wife?”

 

Seol Changho said.

 

“Just have a cup of tea with her.”

 

Seol Ryeoseon said, “You’ll need to put medicine in the tea too.”

 

“Put medicine in the tea?”

 

“Just something to make her lose consciousness.”

 

“What for?”

 

“We need to find out what kind of Soul Seduction Technique Bae Hyeonjin learned. If a woman with no martial arts knowledge learned it, she must have used something special – whether drugs, poison, or bugs. To find out what it is, we need to examine her body thoroughly, but using pressure point techniques would distort the flow of energy and make it inaccurate.”

 

Seol Ryeoseon added at the end, “Though it’s not like there’s no way to do it while she’s conscious.”

 

“How would you do it while she’s conscious?”

 

“In refined terms, it’s called Intimate Pleasure…”

 

“Let’s use medicine! Medicine! Medicine is the best!”

 

“If that’s really oppa’s opinion.”

 

“I just need to put medicine in, right?”

 

“Yeah. Oppa just needs to give her the medicine and leave. We’ll handle the rest.”

 

Though the triplets are troublemakers who cause minor incidents, they’re definitely seasoned martial artists in Murim.

 

So he had no choice but to trust the triplets.

 

“Will the Family Head’s wife really contact me?”

 

Seol Ryeoseon let out a strange laugh.

 

“Hehehe… You’re saying that because you didn’t see that woman’s final expression.”

 

Seol Changho handed Seol Mujin a small white pill the size of goat droppings.

 

“Just put this in the tea. It’s colorless, tasteless, and odorless, so she won’t notice.”

 

As he received the medicine, Seol Mujin let out a long sigh.

 

Since it would make her lose consciousness, saying “knock out” wasn’t wrong, but it still wasn’t something he wanted to do.

 

However, he couldn’t refuse because he was the one who insisted they should help their friend.

 

Seol Mujin, having received the medicine, returned with drooping shoulders.

 

As Seol Mujin disappeared, Seol Changho pressed his forehead.

 

“I never dreamed the day would come when we’d carry out a plan that Mantong-i devised.”

 

“It’s not exactly a plan that Mantong-i devised, but the idea is good, isn’t it?”

 

“Is it really good?”

 

“It would be a waste to just throw away the massive Internal Energy that the Illusion Enchantress obtained through Illusion Arts.”

 

“The problem is that brother won’t want that Internal Energy.”

 

“That’s why we devised this plan. Oppa will never know.”

 

***

 

Seol Ryeoseon asked Yeon Gok.

 

“You didn’t say anything to oppa, right?”

 

“I’m not sure if it’s right to deceive Captain Seol like this.”

 

In fact, the medicine given to Seol Mujin wasn’t simply a Sleeping Drug.

 

It contained a powerful Truth Serum called Soul Confusion Truth Powder.

 

Bae Hyeonjin, who would lose consciousness, wouldn’t even know what she had said.

 

“What do you mean deceiving? We just didn’t tell him.”

 

“That’s the same thing…”

 

“We’re doing this all for oppa’s sake. Don’t you like that?”

 

“How could that be? I really like Captain Seol.”

 

“Then keep your mouth shut tight.”

 

Seol Changho entered the Room with a smile on his lips.

 

Seol Ryeoseon asked with delight.

 

“The Family Head’s wife invited oppa?”

 

“Tonight.”

 

“Tonight? That enchantress has really made up her mind.”

 

Seol Ryeoseon said to Yeon Gok.

 

“You should prepare too.”

 

Yeon Gok was startled.

 

“What? What should I prepare for?”
