68. Seon

I went to the front of Master’s room and waited quietly in front of him.

Perhaps at this time, as Master always does.

It was clear that he was using his inner energy as if he were meditating while sitting cross-legged.

At first glance, it may seem like nothing really.

For him, that is the most important thing to start the day.

In addition, if it is disturbed during actual operation, the inside may become turbid.

Anyway, Master must know that I’m waiting right in front of me.

Because I made an appropriate sign so that he could notice.

“… You may come in.”

After a while, Master’s permission is granted, so I open the door and step inside.

Of course, you have to be careful about approaching Master right away.

The first time I did that, I encountered Master who was just putting on clothes.

Oddly enough, every time Master sits cross-legged and uses internal energy.

I used to insist on being naked without a single thread on.

If something is hanging over your body, you won’t be able to concentrate well or something.

It’s not some kind of frog, and it shouldn’t have to breathe through its skin.

I don’t understand why you insist on that method.

But what can I do, Master insists on that.

I couldn’t say anything about it.

There was nothing I could do other than to be as careful as possible.

Sareuk-.

As soon as the sound of putting on clothes is over, I approach Master.

Those who wash their bodies, but don’t paint their faces like women do.

Nevertheless, it seems that she can’t help herself with the beauty that makes men’s hearts bewildered.

“… What happened this morning?”

“The next destination has been decided. So….”

“I came to talk to the principal, did you mean this?”

“Yes, Master.”

“That’s strange. The master of this journey is not you, but you.”

“That’s true, but it’s only natural to tell Master….”

“If you entrust the work to the person in charge, even if it is the emperor, it is human nature not to talk about it. Not to mention, you’re the one who concocts and executes all the plans. Why do you keep looking at Master?”

“….”

“Do as you wish. This master will quietly support you from behind. Didn’t you say That the throne will be behind you. It will not be in front of you like before.”

Though you’re conveying this way and that way, quite twisted words.

In the end, what Master wanted to say was this.

From noble mtl dot com

Don’t try to bow your head in front of the disciples.

This journey is yours alone, so you will just be quiet.

I could clearly feel that he was trying to build up the pride of his one and only disciple.

“… Thank you.”

I bowed my head because that thought was clearly conveyed.

Although, according to that person’s words, it is said that it is a heavenly demon that was ranked first in the river for its cruelty.

To me now, he was just a trustworthy teacher more than anyone else.

“But since we’re here, let’s talk about it.”

As you sit down, Master says so.

So my next destination will be the royal city.

And the current owner of the royal castle and also the owner of the kingdom, the royal family, my disciples.

From noble mtl dot com

Delivered in detail that he was very uncomfortable with the warriors.

“… I understand what you mean. It was the same when I was in Gangho. Although the imperial family and the stronghold exist in the same world, it was based on not interfering in each other’s affairs as much as possible. The imperial family didn’t want to cause a fuss. And the reason was that it was difficult for Kang Ho to endure the imperial family’s overwhelming funds and endless spears and knives.”

“Actually, I was a little curious about that part. Wasn’t it possible for the imperial family to be organized right away even if only a few strong people like Master came along?”

I don’t know much about the worldview of Moorim.

I haven’t encountered it a few times, and I only know a few words or terms.

So there was no way to know how the world was going on there.

“You would think it might be right now. However, it is also not that the imperial family lacks power. There is a golden chair, and there are also scary weapons that are not used in Murim. And there are funds to make it all possible. It seems to me that there is not much difference between your disciples and the royal family. We do not touch each other because we know each other’s strength, but once we touch it, it can explode right away. So, isn’t that how you try to keep the line and not provoke it?”

“… If you have to ask, I can see that.”

“Yes. That’s the rule of life The principal, you, and your disciples. It is the same as the masters who had countless numbers of strong players. If a knife goes through his heart and his throat is cut, he dies. And even a child can wield a knife. Knowing that, those with power fall into two categories. Those who kill children. And those who don’t care about children. Looking at it, the former doesn’t last long. That is why I am truly proud of you and your disciples following the latter.”

I bowed my head at Master’s words.

In fact, it has no choice but to do so because it is very difficult to fight with only disciples.

As many people as possible as allies. Or even if you don’t become an ally, don’t turn around as an enemy.

In order to do that, of course, it was necessary to show that the child was not careless.

That’s why disciples are warrior characters, and they are born with that destiny.

In order to benefit those warriors, I took over Master’s position.

In the end, wouldn’t it be the teacher of all the guys?

“So, when are you leaving?”

“I plan to leave this afternoon.”

“It would be nice to leave in the morning.”

“Originally, I was going to do that, but….”

“It’s good to know. Are you trying to manage public sentiment?”

I nodded at that.

Although it is in the western outskirts, there is almost no floating population.

Still, it’s inhabited anyway, and worshipers of the drink can come at any time.

It is good to reduce even one enemy.

And if the method is easier and simpler than you think, it is beneficial to do it.

Even if it is a little cumbersome and takes time, it is best to remove the buds.

“A warrior, and two of them, have come to this remote land. And if you take a break and don’t show anything, there will definitely be people who will be disappointed. So I told my disciples to take a moment and show it to the people here properly.”

“You are a very bad teacher. That’s why you pamper your disciples like that.”

“In the end, everything is for the disciples. They don’t want to hurt ordinary people who are tricked by the evil ones and rush at them.”

Master nodded as if he agreed with my words.

He also admitted that the decision was entirely mine to make anyway.

In the end, even the Heavenly Demon is an existence that makes me want to draw my sword against ‘unmanned’ people who are worth fighting for.

Why would they deal with civilians who are no match for them?

“Well, you have some time left. Are you going to have a sparring match with this master?”

“… Sorry. That’s kinda….”

“Huh. How could a warrior be afraid of mixing swords?”

“It’s not that I’m afraid of mixing swords, I’m just worried about what happens after mixing swords.”

“What did you mean?”

“If Master and I sincerely share swords, I promise you, everything will fall apart here.”

It was only when I was in the mountains that I could wield my sword to my heart’s content without any worries.

All you have to do is clear all the vegetation and make an empty lot, and everything will be okay.

No matter what you do there, no matter how hard you try, no one will get hurt.

But this is in the middle of an extremely narrow territory.

If you seriously engage in sparring here, let alone your castle, you will be half way to Yeongji.

Someone might ask if it’s okay if I don’t do it sincerely.

Is a sparring that is not done with sincerity a real sparring?

Perhaps Master is also clearly aware of that part.

The reason why you keep mentioning Dalian and Dalian?

Isn’t it similar to being a bit mischievous, unlike a teacher?

“Master.”

More than that, Master keeps playing pranks on me, so I want to play pranks too.

Because making fun of Master secretly is my specialty anyway.

“If so, why not do something else instead of sparring?”

“What else do you say?”

“I can even wash your feet.”

Then, Master looks at me with an expression of ‘Ehh?’

It was the Heavenly Demon who suddenly stepped back immediately afterward.

“Hey, you bastard! Such a foolish thing!”

“Didn’t you say anything when you said you were supposed to wipe your feet in the past?”

I wasn’t aiming for some kind of event or good impression.

Isn’t there a way to wipe the feet as a token of gratitude to those who have suffered?

I also used to wipe my mother’s and father’s feet like that.

I did it once as an extension of that part, and the reaction at that time was quite interesting.

My blushing face looked like it was going to burst at any moment.

And that doesn’t seem to be much different now.

Master’s face is getting more and more red, and he keeps talking nonsense.

Seeing that even her feet are pulled back with her feet closed, it seems that she is very embarrassed to show her feet.

… Wait for a sec. But come to think of it, did Master step on me secretly again?

It doesn’t mean anything else, it’s really just the way it is.

There were so many times when he stepped on me when I was falling apart during training.

“It’s quite an excuse! How dare you touch a woman’s feet!”

“Did you not say anything at that time? And before she is a woman, she is a teacher, and before she is a teacher, the person who said that she is a heavenly demon is none other than Master.”

“Kuhm! Hmm! That time is that time! Anyway, that’s it! Get out quickly!”

“Master? I’m not done talking yet….”

“Ugh! Get away, you bastard!”

In the end, I had no choice but to leave the room due to Master’s banquet order.

… Okay? Won’t you call me anymore? OK, Operation Success.

I was worried that you would keep pushing for real sparring.

In this way, the defense battle was successful again!

Click-.

“… Disciple.”

Oh, what a surprise.

I was just about to turn around with silent cheers.

I wonder how Master noticed again, he opens the door and looks at me.

I’m going to start managing my facial expressions right away in case my true feelings are revealed.

“Yes, Master.”

“There is something I forgot to say.”

“….”

This is the Dalian envoy. Please.

There’s no room for fuss here.

“Didn’t you say that you had to lower your head a bit when you went to the castle?”

“Yes.”

“I said it was to reduce unnecessary friction.”

“I told you so.”

“It’s not very welcome, but it’s understandable. Therefore, I also said that I would follow your wishes. However, my brother. Know this one thing.”

I have a rough idea of what he’s going to say.

I didn’t spend a day or two with Master or the Heavenly Demon.

I don’t even know how to react in a situation like this.

“If the humans there cross the ‘line’. I will not stand still.”

“You say it for granted. If you cross the line in the first place, I have no intention of acquiescing.”

It’s less than Master’s, though.

Anyway, I’m the one who was taught by the Heavenly Demon.
