Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Episode 644 A story in the reign (19)

Yeo Sang-rin looked at the woman in front of him with a bewildered expression.

The woman had a very elegant beauty. He gave off a somewhat mature aura, but looking at his appearance, it seemed like he had not yet reached retirement age.

But no one would see her as a young wife. The natural maturity, outstanding grace, and wise eyes that she exudes were something that could not be obtained at a young age.

The woman opened her mouth.

With a smile and a calm voice.

“sister.”

“Wow!”

Yeo Sang-rin spit out the sound of boiling phlegm without realizing it.

The woman, Aenghwa, said as if she were embarrassed.

“sorry. Because of all the construction work, I have never been able to visit. “I knew right away that you were in Jungwon.”

“Is that so?”

“Still, I’m glad to see you so healthy.”

Usually, when I meet an acquaintance after a long time, I tend to make a fuss before saying sorry.

But Aenghwa didn’t do that. She was the most powerful person at the Gangseo Chamber of Commerce and had accumulated all kinds of experience over the years as a mega-merchant who controlled half of the central commercial district.

Now I have become an outstanding person who knows how to express regret before happiness and how to open my ears rather than my mouth. Such a great change in cherry blossoms made Yeo Sang-rin realize that the world had changed dramatically and that the passage of time was like waves.

“I’m glad to see you healthy too.”

“thank you.”

“And don’t be so sorry. “I could have come first, but I feel like I couldn’t come because I was busy, so I feel shamed.”

“Don’t say that.”

“Hehe, by the way, our cherry blossoms are really huge! “Now I really am a neat little girl!”

“…The age difference between me and you is not that much.”

“Is that so? But in my memories, Aenghwa was always a young and shy girl.”

Aenghwa just smiled warmly.

Yeo Sang-rin felt surprised, proud, and strangely bitter at the change in the cherry blossoms.

‘It’s something that can’t be endured without change.’

Well, isn’t this only true in the commercial world? This is the case in all industries in the world. In order to become the best in your industry and maintain that position, you must be able to control even your own nature.

‘If you look at that, it seems that cherry blossoms are better than me.’

Yeo Sang-rin said with a smile.

“I’m sorry for suddenly coming to you without telling you.”

“Hey, don’t say that. “You don’t know how happy I am to see you like this.”

“Hehe, I’m glad you think so.”

“Really.”

“I understand, boy. “Anyway, you’re really busy these days, right?”

Cherry blossoms scratched their cheeks.

“It’s a bit like that. In fact, there isn’t a day when we aren’t busy with our work.”

“Well, I guess he is like that too. “It is said that it is an organization that controls half of the central and central commercial districts, and is unprecedented as a single top group.”

“Still, this year’s flood relief has ended and it has ended well. “At least I had an hour to spare.”

“What do you mean flood relief?”

“Ah, there are frequent floods in Hubei every year, right? We provide support to those flood victims every year. Fortunately, this time we made thorough preparations and there was no major damage, but tens of thousands of people are still having trouble making a living.”

“Huh, is that supported by Gangseo Store?”

“yes. Of course, it is not announced publicly. “Well, we secretly spread rumors that we were doing something.”

Yeo Sang-rin stuck out her tongue.

Instead of making it public, they spread rumors that Gangseo Store released the money.

Sometimes, a secretly spread rumor has more power than direct help. If this was repeated for several years, the public’s view of Gangseo Store would be very favorable.

‘But since it’s just a rumor, even if Gangseo Chamber of Commerce is unable to support it, they won’t feel much of a burden. Also, no matter how much you walk together as a comrade, you cannot avoid being noticed by the palace, so it can also play a role in alleviating the palace’s uncomfortable gaze.’

It was a simple but effective strategy. Of course, it will take a huge amount of money to spread the word, but considering the future, it will be well worth the investment.

“Did you come up with this?”

“yes?”

“The existence of Gangseo Chamber of Commerce was blurred like fog through rumors.”

Aenghwa just smiled.

Silent laughter means positivity. Yeo Sang-rin had no choice but to admit that the cherry blossoms had indeed changed greatly.

‘No, maybe it’s my eyes that have changed.’

Aenghwa treated the capricious Seoryang as her master and watched him in every way.

In fact, it was not at all easy to prepare one step ahead of what Seo-ryang wanted. In addition, Xu Liang was particularly good at strategy and tactics than other successor candidates.

Aenghwa was the one who watched the scene one by one from right next to each other. There must have been a lot to see and learn.

“Okay, anyway, I’m glad you’re doing well.”

“lol.”

“By the way, you said that although you are busy, the time when you can’t even wake up is over, right?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Then can I leave for a while?”

Aenghwa said with a smile.

“Are you going to Shingyo?”

“Huh! “How did you know that?!”

“His Royal Highness King Taejang and King Geomjang, along with Lord Gongya Mun and Lord Demon King are also with us. “It’s impossible not to spread rumors.”

“No matter what, isn’t the information coming too quickly?”

“Information is life, for us.”

“haha.”

Yeo Sang-rin stuck out her tongue.

“That’s right, it’s been a while since we all got together and went to Shingyo. “If it’s okay, would you like to go with me?”

Cherry blossoms shook their heads.

“I went there two months ago.”

“omg? okay? “I guess I stop by more often than I thought?”

“Some things are communicated through letters, but for important matters, I go and get approval in person. “I think we go back and forth four or five times a year.”

“Is that so?”

Yeo Sang-rin made an openly regretful expression.

Aenghwa, who was looking at Yeo Sang-rin, smiled softly.

“But like you said, I’m past being busy. Would you like to go together?”

Yeo Sang-rin’s expression suddenly brightened.

“I guess so! “This time, it’s not about work, it’s about just having fun?”

“Sure.”

“Puhaha!”

Yeo Sang-rin suddenly hugged the cherry blossoms.

“let’s go!”

“Hmm.”

“How can you say that?”

“hmm? Hehe, no. “I feel like my popularity has increased by one factor.”

Zhong Lishan smiled faintly.

“That’s amazing. “I can’t feel anything.”

“Hey, this guy. “But at least at one time, I was a person who discussed being the best in the world.”

“That’s right.”

Zhong Zhenbaek smiled and asked.

“Have you made any progress yet?”

“That’s right.”

“Whether it is Hwagyeong or Geumma, it takes constant effort, creativity, and luck to advance to the next level. It seems to me that your efforts are not lacking, so there will be good news soon.”

Zhong Lishan shook his head.

“There is nothing better than being on the pole. But now I have let go of that obsession.”

“Uh-huh, this person. How can someone who has learned magic let go of obsession? Even if I grit my teeth and run forward with a bigger desire, it won’t be enough.”

“It’s not like I’ve given up on drama. However, I realized that my nature was not suited to such obsession. “After putting in this much effort and obsession, I don’t think it’s a bad idea to live comfortably while managing the family.”

“her! Myein gave up his obsession…”

Zhong Zhenbaek, who was quietly looking at Zhongli Mountain, burst into laughter.

“You demons are truly amazing. There is no one who shows the prescribed appearance. “If you think about it, Cheonma was like that, and so were the former Great Mazon and Guard Commander Ma Dong-pil.”

The Mado Chilga (魔道七家) were the seven families of the Mado Murim who supported the Heavenly Demon Religion.

The power of each of them was comparable to that of the five fallen generations of the Wulin faction. However, unlike those who were building up their own power, all of the Madou Chilga thoroughly obeyed Shingyo.

I heard there was a conflict with Seoryang once in the past. It is said that there was a fight not only with the Geogyeong family but with almost all of the seven families.

‘I can’t believe it.’

Looking at Zongnisan Mountain, it did not seem like a statue worthy of committing treason.

Although he was residing in the imperial palace with the status of King Taejang, Song Zhengbaek had met Zhong Lishan just before that. I thought it would be good to take a look at Geogyeongga because he was the leader of the Madochilga, so we had a drink together.

Although it was only a one-time meeting, Zhongshan Baek liked Zhonglisan Mountain. There were few people in the world who were so serious, cautious, and decisive when making decisions.

“Anyway, where is your son? “I heard you’re busy studying.”

“I can’t even say it’s studying. It’s hard for me to say this, but he’s much better than me. “I would like to transfer the position of head of the family in the next few years.”

“Transferring the position of head of the family? her! “Hasn’t it been a while since you handed over your son’s contract?”

“That’s right.”

“Entrusting such a large family to a young man in his twenties…”

A look of envy appeared on Song Jong-baek’s face.

“That’s amazing. “The fact that you made that decision means that you have the ability, and it looks like you trained your successor properly.”

“I didn’t teach anything. “My child grew up well on his own.”

“Even lions are helpless when they are cubs. “It’s only when you learn how to hunt from your parents that your talent will blossom.”

“I think I learned a lot about hunting methods from the leader.”

“is it?”

“yes. Of course, I received help from many people, not just the religious leader. “I don’t think it’s for nothing that they say that a man becomes an adult when he goes out into the world.”

“Hehe, that’s right.”

Zhong Zhenbaek’s eyes became faint.

He also had a disciple. He was a troublemaker student who had committed outrageous acts in the past.

Fortunately, the guy who came to his senses became the captain of the imperial palace guard. He was confused at first, but now he had come to his senses and was doing the best he could in his position.

‘Anyway, the martial arts will disappear and the world will be unified, but the fact that I envy them probably means that I, too, am still a martial arts person.’

Zheng Zhongbaek nodded.

“I’ll tell you straight. I’m thinking of going to the Heavenly Demon Church with several of my friends. “I wanted to see the leader’s face for the first time in a while and have a drink with him.”

“I see.”

“How is it? Would you like to go with us?”

Zhong Lishan smiled.

“I have already sent my son to Protestantism. “I don’t think I should leave the room while he’s here, just in case he’s there.”

“Huh, I see.”

“After doing all your business at Shinkyo, please stop by if you have some time left. “I will serve you some good drinks.”

Geum Baek burst into laughter.

“I never turn down alcohol. “You must keep that promise.”

“of course. “But is there anyone else you can take with you?”

“Well, now I’m thinking of going straight to Shingyo. why? “Is there someone you can send separately?”

“Rather than sending someone, it’s because someone happened to be here on business.”

“who?”

Zhong Lishan smiled.

“The best magic swordsman of our time is about ten miles away.”
