Hao Wenzhou calligraphy.
The process for a woman to be called by that name was long and short..
To summarize very briefly, it was like that..
He grew up under the shadow of a former ancestor who turned humans into fodder for profit, and at the age of 12, he harbored a grudge against that ancestor..
At the age of 14, he was entrusted with the request to find a master and murderous goat capable of killing Munju..
And the person who took up the vacant position of Munju was 15 years old..
For the next 10 years, Calligraphy continued to protect Haomun as the lord of the clan..
The unusual growth process made Calligraphy always study how to read other people's minds, and also made him weigh the pros and cons of everything..
And I made him act out an image that suited the situation..
In this case as well, all the delicate appearance that has been shown so far has been postponed..
To that extent, Seo-ye had never felt the same way while looking at a person..
For the first time in his life, Seo-ye was faced with a person whom he could not understand even if he only looked at the arm..
“know the topic.”
‘subject?’
It's a topic….
Seo Ye blankly looked at Namgung Jincheon’s expression..
I couldn't figure it out.
What is he thinking, is he sincere in what he is saying, or is he putting on a disguise to hide his true feelings?.
Isn’t that right?.
It's Namgung Jincheon, the sword dragon..
He was a sad young expert who was second only to Baekdo Martial Arts, and he was a man who must have accumulated various knowledge including martial arts under the best teachers in the best environment from then on..
Does it make sense for a man like that to talk about purity and talk about vulgarity?.
‘Are you hiding your true feelings??’
Perhaps the act of not thinking about the future was done with thorough calculation..
If you think about it, he's taking advantage of the situation by being so stubborn, so it's probably not wrong..
…Saying this, Seo-ye began to find a reason for his irrational behavior..
There was such a saying.
This means that no matter what reason you give to irrationality, it cannot be explained rationally..
It is said that the more you try to find a reason, the more complicated your thoughts become..
It was right.
Namgung Jincheon simply doesn't like the calligraphy that shows his flesh to a man who is out of town..
No matter how much Seo-ye thought, she couldn't get closer to the truth when people misunderstood him as rational..
“Well, I'm not shallow.!”
“Bare skin is visible?”
“Well, that's…!”
I'm not doing this because I like it..
This is because there are more benefits to be gained by simply acting like this and breaking free of the restraints..
I couldn't say that sincerely..
Seo Ye started acting.
“…Well, I'm not shallow..”
I lowered my head..
I stopped breathing and trembled slightly..
Tears were at the corners of my eyes.
When Namgung Jincheon acted out such shame and sadness, he snorted..
“There's something the monster said. The most dangerous category is those who seek sympathy for subjects selling their bodies. I've never thought much about him before, but after four years, I understand. He said the right thing about a monster..”
flinch.
Seo Ye’s shoulders trembled..
It wasn't smoke this time.
“Just shut up. If you play any more tricks, you will be punished again..”
Namgung Jincheon finished speaking and closed his eyes..
Attitude as if you really don't want to talk.
For the first time in my life, I felt a tugging at my back..

It was an hour later that the members returned to the room..
Calligraphy looked very haggard after just one session..
I opened my mouth more and it wasn't that I was bullied by Namgung Jincheon..
‘I don't know….’
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn't come up with an answer. My head became complicated because of the person named Namgung Jincheon..
In short, it was like that..
Calligraphy made the mistake of viewing irrationality as reason..
In other words, I fell for my own tricks..
“…Geomryong, why is Munju doing that??”
“I do not know. I didn't say a word to this bitch..”
Danghwaseo asked, and Namgung Jincheon confidently answered..
Tang Hwa-seo looked at Namgung Jincheon disapprovingly, filled with regret for some reason, and Seo-ye also confirmed the expression..
Calligraphy's pupils trembled as if there was an earthquake..
‘Why are you looking at me like that??’
A possibility that came to mind late.
No, a fact that could not even be dismissed as a possibility was rising to the surface..
‘no way….’
Is Namgung Jincheon actually a bit smart?.
Did you act like this because you were thoughtless?.
Was he looking for a reason for his thoughtless actions?.
The suppression of subordinates by force in the alleys of Guizhou, the kidnapping here, and the high-handedness that has taken place until now.?
‘really?’
Seo Ye looked at Namgung Jincheon..
He was just full of pride even as Danghwaseo looked at him pitifully..
“her….”
Seo-ye laughed in despair..
for quite some time.
*
The members tilted their heads to see Seo-ye smiling blankly as if she had suddenly lost her mind..
I can feel right away that I'm not in a position to talk right now..
Naturally, my eyes went to Namgung Jincheon, who was with me, but he did not give any answer and just insisted on 'interrogation' again..
Danghwaseo wrinkled his face as if he was troubled and then said to Seoye:.
“Moonju, I want to ask you a question..”
“Please do it. Yes, you should..”
Seo Ye spoke as if she had put something down..
There was no longer the delicate appearance from before..
That look was just haggard and vain..
“…I heard that there are disciples in Hao Wen's secret place. Where is the location of the secretariat, how many disciples are being held captive, and how many enemy troops are there? Do you know anything about him??”
It was an extension of information gathering..
It's part of Sue's attempt to find loopholes in her words, as she still doesn't completely trust her calligraphy..
After hearing those words, Seo Ye looked at Danghwaseo and continued her thoughts..
‘Yeah, it's normal to come out here.’
Eyes that show a faint border disguised as goodwill.
In the meantime, my nerves are concentrated.
It's a reaction of doubt.
This is usually correct.
‘however….’
What on earth is Namgung Jincheon?.
Calligraphy was in chaos.
Another laugh came out of my mouth..
Namgung Jincheon spoke in a stern voice as Seo Ye continued to look at me and laugh..
“Don't look. girl. Because it feels like something dirty is spreading.”
Words that even frown.
Calligraphy smiled emptyly..
“Are you young?.”
I took my gaze away from Namgung Jincheon..
I don't want to be swept away by him any more, but I feel like my insides are turning upside down..
“…I'll answer your questions.”
Seo Ye calmed down her expression and heart and spoke..
“The enemy's troops number approximately one hundred. The number of people dragged away reaches a thousand..”
Mo Ri-won gaped at Seo-ye’s words..
“wife, cloth…!”
“Those are the only ones expected to be alive. If you add up all the people who were taken away, you won't even be able to count them..”
A number that is usually unimaginable in the sect..
First, it was possible because it was Haomun..
It was the Haomun that spread all over the place disguised as street gangsters, courtesans, and Jeomsoyi..
“Their martial arts level is?”
“I do not know. But one thing is certain.”
Seo-ye said that and took a moment to catch his breath..
and said.
“The color demon (色？) among the six demons (？？）. She is here. She is the ultimate demon..”
The members’ eyes widened significantly..
Seo-ye engraved the reactions one by one on his retina and continued speaking..
‘Let's unpack a little more information.’
A trusting relationship must be created.
It was that kind of judgment..
“Yukma is a warrior from the six highest families in the Heavenly Demon Church beyond Xinjiang. From generation to generation, the Heavenly Demons of the time would come from among them..”
“If it's a family….”
“In terms of hundred degrees, the five generations are the same. They call that family the Magical Gate (？？？門).”
Six Demons and Six Demons.
The members thought of a man when they heard those words..
Seo Ye looked at the change in their expressions and answered..
“Yes, the Enma(？？？？？？？） that you faced is one of those six. This is why I asked you for help..”
“Sister, this is….”
Zhuge Shan's expression crumpled..
It's not easy..
Like last time, this was not a land of white people where you could seek help from those around you if necessary, and the number of enemies was twice as large as last time..
Considering the number of people being held hostage there, it was inevitable that they would be caught..
It's a situation where there's nothing good about going forward..
In the first place, the purpose of the mission was to investigate..
Since we revealed everything that happened here, there was also a way to go back and request assistance..
When Jegal-san made that decision and spoke, the other members showed their approval..
Calligraphy read the mood.
‘I expected it.’
It makes no sense to ask for help in the first place..
Blackness and whiteness, more than ten times the difference in power.
Seo-ye did not ask for help without even considering such things..
“Of course there is a way.”
“hmm?”
“The place where they are is Haomun’s secret place. This is where I lived.”
Calligraphy said while looking directly at Danghwaseo..
“Everyone knows how to sneak up there. Not just getting in, but everything, including the route you take. Aside from that, once I get there, I can use traps and formations that I haven't used yet..”
Among all the shadows, the one in the shadows is Hao Wen's secret place..
We were invaded so quickly that we couldn't prepare right away, but it was possible to confuse the enemy if we went back..
The power difference can be dramatically reduced..
It wasn't just that.
“If you help me, I will definitely reward you..”
calligraphy waved a carrot.
“Elixir. There are seven 100-year coins in a secret safe that only I can open. I'll give you everything.”
Namgung Jincheon’s head turned..
The eyes were shining with interest..
Seo Ye felt anger welling up in her eyes at that reaction, but held it back..
“…I am in a hurry. Please.”
If they went back like this and reported to the Murim Alliance, there would be a more certain victory..
But it shouldn't have been that way..
‘Give justification to the Murim Alliance..’
Hao Mun becomes indebted to the Murim Alliance..
This is Gwiju, the land of the dark island.
Surely the story would reach the ears of the Black Silent Lord, and that would put the entire situation of Hao Wen in trouble..
If you leave the request to them like this, you can settle the financial relationship with seven roots in 100 years..
In the situation that Seoye is currently in, it was the only reasonable way to end the work..
Danghwaseo quietly looked into her eyes as if trying to understand the meaning of the calligraphy..
“Moonju doesn't want to give justification to Mang..”
“Because it’s a black island.”
“100It would be said to settle the financial relationship with seven roots..”
“I don't think it's a bad thing.”
Intention not hidden even in calligraphy.
An intention that can be easily recognized even as a danghwaseo.
Calligraphy was asking for a deal.
Danghwaseo narrowed his eyebrows at that..
‘100A year and a half, seven roots….’
Is this worth it?.
Could it be Hao Wen-ju's intention to lure them in?.
It wasn't just a meaningless guess..
It seemed true that there was friction with them, but it could also have been a promise that Hao Mun's disciples would be returned by giving themselves up..
A deep concern arose in Danghwaseo..
‘You shouldn't answer right away.’
The delicate appearance seen earlier was no longer visible..
Maybe he had a intuition that it wouldn't work..
As those thoughts continued,.
“don't accept.”
Namgung Jincheon, crazy about elixirs, answered.
Tang Hwa-seo looked at him blankly, moved his body earlier than he thought, and punched the top of Namgung Jincheon's head..
Sigh!
Calligraphy began to look at Namgung Jincheon as if he was pathetic..
