Moon-Shadow Sword Emperor

Chapter 126

Episode 126:

Chang Myung-gung and I stopped by the medical room together along the way and took the patient to the Sichuan branch.

“So, are you saying that the culprit who put my wife in a dark state is the Demon Cult leader?”

“That’s right.”

“I don’t understand. “What is the benefit of cajoling someone like me?”

“If I were to tell you how to treat your wife, all you have to do is teach her proper mental techniques.”

“Proper way of thinking?”

“This means that all we have to do is pass on the complete method of mind, excluding the defects deliberately introduced by the Demon Cultist.”

“It’s nice that it’s simple.”

I glanced back at the woman in Changmyeonggung’s arms.

Even at a glance, I could see that there was a significant age difference between him and Changmyeonggung.

According to Hao Wen’s research data, she is thirty-four this year.

It is said that she got married to Changmyeonggung seven years ago.

Although not as good as Changmyeonggung, she was also a warrior with considerable skills.

‘I heard you were called by the nickname ‘Bong’ until you got married.’

Blood Flower Sword Yeo So-ok.

It is said that the inaction shown at the last official event was the end of the peak, so perhaps it has now reached the peak.

If only I could overcome Simma, she would also become a reliable ally.

“Fortunately, it doesn’t seem to have been that long since your wife fell into a mental state. “I don’t think it will take long to recover.”

“How long do you think it will take?”

“I think it will take about a month. Of course, I will have to continue rehabilitation training for several months afterwards.”

“I’ll do any favor you ask as long as it saves my wife’s life.”

“Can you please ask me anything?”

“okay.”

“It seems like a very careless remark.”

“I can do anything for my wife.”

“.......”

“If you want money, I will give you all I have, and if there is anyone who has a grudge against me, I will kill you instead. Even if it means becoming a criminal.”

“I think I understand why the Demon Lord chose you as his target.”

“.......”

“Don’t put too much pressure on your junior. “I have no intention of asking for such a heavy price.”

I scratched my cheek with my index finger and laughed embarrassingly.

Of course, I was happy on the inside.

‘There is no reason for this side to decline when the parties say so and so.’

It didn’t seem difficult to achieve the goal of persuading Changmyeonggung and making him an ally.

It was worth waiting until he was in a desperate situation before approaching him.

“My credo is to always repay favors.”

“If you do, I will be shameless and ask you a favor.”

“Tell me.”

“Please protect me.”

“......?”

Changmyeonggung tilted his head.

He looked like he didn’t understand why he was asking this.

“I don’t think I have the skills to take a beating even without my protection...”

“I am confident in my own skills. “But isn’t the person you hate not someone else but the Demon Cult leader?”

“.......”

“As I said, the culprit that caused your wife to fall into deep trouble is the Demon Cult leader. As many as five people suffered from mental illness due to his arrangements. And I contacted all five of them.”

“I see what you’re trying to say.”

“I’ve managed to hide it well so far, but the cult leader will probably soon realize that his plan has gone awry. “Maybe you already know.”

“There is a high probability that they will seek revenge.”

“That’s why I’m asking you a favor. “Please protect me for a while.”

The specific period was intentionally not mentioned.

If I say this in a comprehensive way, Changmyeong Palace will stay by my side for a long time.

“If that is the benefactor’s request.”

Palace Changmyeong nodded, indicating his agreement.

Since he had said it himself, there was no way he could refuse my request.

I think I underestimated Danggaju too much.

It was a difficult situation.

In order to sell Naedan, he had to confront the head of the party, but this was not an easy method.

‘Should I rather reveal the fact that I have a secret relationship with a private landowner and ask to meet again?’

After thinking for a moment, I smiled and leaned against the back of the chair.

‘No. There is no reason for this side to bow down first before negotiations begin.’

There was no reason to be impatient.

It’s not like you’re going to lose money if you can’t dispose of it right away.

All I had to do was find a way slowly.

‘Even if you can’t sell it, there’s no problem. ‘I’m not really in need of money.’

After gathering my thoughts, I sipped my tea and changed the topic.

“Anyway, it looks like you’ve made a lot of progress while I haven’t seen you before.”

“As expected, the small cooperative recognizes it.”

While I didn’t see him, Tang Seo-yeon’s martial arts skills had advanced to the next level.

I thought that at this level, it wouldn’t be strange if I stepped into the state of transcendence at some point.

‘wait.’

As I was staring at her face covered in burns, my eyes lit up as a thought suddenly crossed my mind.

‘Should I give Dan Seo-yeon the inner dan as a gift?’

* * *

Another 15 days passed.

In the meantime, there were many changes in the Sacheon branch.

The once desolate garden was in full bloom, and the old pavilion had been repaired and refurbished.

Additionally, as new members sent from the headquarters joined, the number of members increased from six to nine.

The interesting fact was that all of the new recruits had a late-stage index of Lee Rip or lower.

This meant that there were a lot of late-term index members who joined the group after the last Yongbong branch.

There was one familiar face among them.

A monk of Hyeonsamun (賢士門) whom we met at the sixty four rivers of the Bimmu competition.

[No, why is he here?]

Naturally, I couldn’t help but wonder.

What is so disappointing about someone who was capable of advancing to the finals that they apply to a branch rather than the main team?

I even thought that perhaps I had come to this point as if I had been kicked out because I was disliked by a high-ranking person.

[I applied right away because they were recruiting people to be assigned to the Sacheon branch.]

[......?]

[I have always admired the reputation of the Cheonryong small cooperative, or rather, the deputy director.] [

Why can’t I be such a great person? .]

[Achievement in subduing an army of assassins during his career as a member of the Yongbong Branch Championship. If these aren’t great, then what is great?]

[......]

[More than anything, he is the one who defeated me in the finals...]

No matter how much I am, I can’t help but feel embarrassed by this. There was none.

As reputation increased, the effect was revealed in unexpected places.

Of course, it was not a bad result for me.

The more capable subordinates you have, the better.

As the new members were getting used to the work of the branch, an additional official letter arrived from the headquarters.

It was an official document containing the promotion of Deputy Manager Yeonsun to Branch Manager.

It was written that his contribution to uncovering widespread corruption and crime within the Sacheon branch and correcting the wrong was reflected in the personnel evaluation, but I did not believe that at all.

‘I need to fill the vacant position of branch manager, but I guess there’s no one I can send. Because the Murim Alliance is currently experiencing a severe manpower shortage.’

Since there was no new person to dispatch, they probably used an appropriate excuse to promote an existing person.

Thanks to this, I rose to the position of branch leader in less than three months after being assigned to the Sacheon branch.

There were many other things that happened.

Baek Li-seon, a disciple of Shandong Yugaju, finally regained consciousness, and Chang Myeong-gung’s wife, Yeo So-ok, also recovered some health.

I may not be able to get out of the hospital bed right away, but if I consistently devote myself to rehabilitation training, I will be able to shake off all the remnants of my mental illness.

‘I won’t have to take care of patients directly anymore. I showed you the way, so the rest will take care of itself.’

My position within the branch was solidified and most of the urgent matters were handled.

Seo Ho-seon’s training has also reached a certain level, and a sufficient quantity of Demon God Dan has been secured.

Even if he was away for a while, Dok Go-seong’s training would not be disrupted.

‘It’s time to go on a business trip to the Guizhou branch.’
