    [Episode 187] Yongbong Branch

    In any culture the ruling class forms their own small society.

    What this small society does is extremely simple and if I were to express it in the style of Qing’s hometown it would be like this.

    Ladder kick.

    This is because they are an alliance to enjoy the power they hold tightly in their hands for a thousand years and ten thousand years.

    Yongbong Branch also cannot be free from that aspect.

    Isn’t it the best networking training center where young people from wealthy families can form friendships and become friends with each other?

    So of course not everyone can attend the Yongbong branch.

    It is not for nothing that Daesaese takes in the disciples of the Old Daemun Sect and treats them with the utmost respect so it is not free and the participation fee for the Yongbong branch of the group is also included as a fairly large share.

    And the day of holding a grand banquet like today was the day to repay that debt.

    Even though the entire seven-story pavilion was rented there was quite a crowd.

    Of course in the central banquet culture people do not stand and talk so this is to provide ample seating.

    Since Jungwon is a standing-room culture area people should not sit on the floor but rather pull a chair and sit in front of the table.

    “Wow there are a lot of people.”

    “joy. These people are just wandering around. “After all there are only people on the first floor with nothing special to see.”

    “It’s me. “Why don’t you speak nicely?”

    Tang Nan-ah is an outstanding beauty and the daughter of the Tang family the ruler of Sichuan.

    Of course it was said to attract all attention as soon as one entered the pavilion.

    “That’s it. “Come on Cheongya let’s go up.”

    Dannan crossed his arms and pulled Cheong towards him.

    Cheong pretended not to be able to resist him and climbed the stairs with a light graceful gait.

    As I went up to this floor people appeared awkwardly saying hello to Tang Nana.

    Although no one has decided on this the young people on the second and third floors are the young people of the Murimbang faction which are well-known in the local area.

    And from the fourth floor onwards the youth of famous Bangpas whose names were widely known took their place.

    It would not be an exaggeration to say that the real Yongbong branch begins here.

    And after climbing another floor I finally saw a familiar face.

    “Oh Geomwoo! “Isn’t it Geomwoo!”

    “Prince Nangong. It’s been a while right? Of course I saw you yesterday but we only said hello for a moment so today should be the day to properly meet you and clear your mind.”

    “hmm? “Isn’t it Geomwoo?”

    “I have this womanly talent so I bring it up sometimes because I feel like I might forget it if I don’t do it. Are you feeling awkward?”

    “Really people. Since their faces are covered I’d believe it if they said they were very different. I never thought I would know how to properly pretend to be a woman. Um is that right? Geomwoo is a great man who would send someone else to imitate him.”

    “Confucius Nangong do you know that if you use your tongue everything will become clear? “Even dogs have tongues right?”

    “I believe it. “You are Geomwoo.”

    Cheong trembled his shoulders and held out his sword.

    Namgung Shinjae did not hide his pleasant smile as he clinked his sword sheaths together.

    “Yeah so is Changbin up there too?”

    “ah. Changbin is on the fifth floor. “It looks like he climbed up to avoid the women.”

    It is said that the fifth floor is usually used by the Blue Dragon Society and the top floor is usually used by the Phoenix Society.

    Of course it is not strictly defined so any member of Cheonmudae can participate as much as he wants regardless of gender.

    However it was not very good to have a woman when there were only men and vice versa so it was not easy to get involved especially if you were not close friends or lovers.

    Of course it’s easy for Cheong.

    As Cheong climbed the stairs with Tang Nan-ah who looked somewhat displeased only the head wearing a cotton yarn stuck out and looked around the fifth floor.

    Cheong raises his index finger and puts it in front of his mouth to the men who are looking at him and everyone just pretends not to see him.

    And a loud voice from the audience.

    “Well that’s why you don’t have a woman. A woman yes a woman’s heart is like a loach. If you try to gently grasp it it will slip away into ancient times. Very tight! “You have to hold it very tightly to get it in your grip do you understand?”

    “Oh as expected Changbin. “So you’re saying I should push you harder?”

    “then. They say that if a man pushes a woman will somehow open the door to her heart. Just grab your wrists and let’s go! “Go somewhere quiet and beautiful whether it’s a lakeside or a garden!”

    Cheong put his index finger in front and gently headed towards Changbin.

    Then everyone just smiled mischievously and pretended not to notice.

    Changbin was drunk and talking not even noticing the woman approaching from behind him.

    “Just hold on to his shoulders and talk like a man. Sojeo please my ah-”

    “Oh aren’t you Changbin Dojang? “Aren’t you a Taoist monk who is a living legend who has mastered women’s hearts and makes women fall in love with just his eyes?”

    “hmm.”

    “now. Don’t do this. “Since we’ve met like this I’d like the girl to pour me a drink.”

    “Yes thank you…”

    “ruler. Drink it all the way. Wow please be bold. Hey what are you doing? The male middle-aged man the volcanic pleasant man the female heart slayer Changbin and the right side of Dojang-nim aren’t the glasses empty? “I’ll fill you both.”

    “uh? I?”

    “hurry.”

    “Oh yeah….”

    Dannanah sat down on Changbin’s right and poured a drink in a clumsy manner.

    How much alcohol would Tang Nan-ah of the world have poured?

    Poor Taoist Changbin whose palms were pierced by the flowers on both his hands looked straight ahead like a person stuck on both sides.

    “So what was the last part of that statement? Would you be able to tell the girl that magical confession that will melt her heart? Please my child. “I wonder what happens next.”

    “That’s… the child I mean the mother the mother.”

    “Mother? Sucrose? Jadang wants to take a look? “Those are scary words that will definitely melt a woman’s heart.”

    “That’s not it…”

    “But Master Taoist don’t you know the girl? iced coffee. Feel sorry too. “I wonder if she was just a woman who passed by at one time to the female heart slayer Changbin Dojang.”

    When Cheong let out a sullen voice Changbin began to sweat profusely.

    The sound of laughter spread throughout the audience.

    “I’m sorry about that soger… I don’t remember…”

    “How could you so cruelly forget after always asking to see the plum blossoms in the mountains together? “Are you really saying that you have forgotten the times we had together?”

    “No… even if you say that… please give me that name…”

    “It’s called the girl Seo Mun-cheong. Master Changbin do you remember anything now?”

    “What? Preface Soger? Ah I thought your voice sounded somewhat familiar to me… How have you been?”

    “How have you been? Oh by the way the Sojeo on the right is Sojeo the sea fish poison flower of Sacheondanga. “Naya this is Changbin Dojang the best expert on women’s hearts in Jungwon.”

    “This person? Women’s heart? “What a fool.”

    When Tang Nan-ah revealed her name Cheong counted the beats in her head.

    One by one “Haefish poisoning!” “Sea fish poisoning!” “Sea fish poisoning!”

    yes! Now I know how it works.

    In fact this seemingly meaningless repetition of the star name is imbued with the meaning of respect for the other person.

    “It’s Changbin…”

    Changbin spoke in a voice that could only be heard if you were listening and he lowered and opened his head stiffly like a wooden doll.

    One of the Taoists across from us who had been watching while suppressing laughter finally burst out laughing and asked Cheong.

    “No Changbin. Are you saying there really was a woman? How could you not introduce yourself until now? It is said to be the reincarnation of a shaman. “Changbin is too embarrassed to continue speaking. If it’s not rude may I ask you to introduce yourself?”

    “iced coffee. It is called Seomuncheong a foreign affairs official of the Shinnyeomun. And my teacher is Seomun Surin Dogo. Um yeah. How is it distributed?”

    Then the sound of a chair falling over and being dragged loudly rang out all at once.

    “The shaman’s Hwanyuk meets the elder.”

    “The tradition of Cheongseong meets the elders.”

    “Jongnam’s duty is to see the elders.”

    “Jongnam’s spirit is seeing you.”

    “Community Myeonak sees the elders.”

    ……

    Apparently Taoist disciples who were uncomfortable dealing with women were gathered on the fifth floor.

    Cheong answered in a friendly voice.

    “Yes there is a bit of a difference in distribution but since the girl is just a young woman who reached her retirement age this year there is no need to be too polite. “They said the etiquette is proportional but I feel like it’s too much to the point where I’m uncomfortable.”

    “Yes old man.”

    “Do I look that old? “You mean you’re an elderly person?”

    “Yes senior.”

    Wow you’re acting like a senior with this taste.

    I was wondering why on earth people from the landing specialist unit were so anxious to show off.

    “Preface Soger? “Were you on vacation this year?”

    “Geomwoo? “A vacation?”

    Namgung Shinjae intervened in surprise.

    But since Cheong wasn’t happy he just ignored him and kept teasing Changbin.

    “I thought things were a little better but you’re still confused about respect? “Ah take it easy. Regardless of distribution we are friends right?”

    “How can I be comfortable in a situation like this…”

    “Oh my. Changbin do you want to keep doing this?”

    “hmm. “Okay no I will do that.”

    “okay. How are you? Looking at what you were saying earlier it seems like it’s still the same. So what was it? “A great confession that will melt a woman’s heart at once.”

    “I ask you to be my child’s mother…”

    “Uhm. Nanaya what do you think of this confession? “What if you hear it?”

    Cheong sought the appreciation of a real woman Tang Nan-er.

    Tang Nan-ah’s evaluation was scathing.

    “I feel so stupid. “It seems like a man with a child is looking for a second wife.”

    I thought it was pretty good but based on the locals’ reactions it seems like it wasn’t right.

    “Changbin you said that’s right?”

    “Then please give birth to my child….”

    Still even though it was in a small voice he started talking because we were traveling together.

    It was such an amazing sight that even the Daoist family members who were uncomfortable seeing it in front of their elders looked at Changbin with wide eyes.

    “hmm. The child is a bit ambiguous. “It’s still unclear whether she is his first wife or second wife.”

    “You pay special attention to that?”

    “Well anyway if I get married I will become your son-in-law. That’s not the case if you go to your in-laws’ house you will definitely not be able to do it unless you are a member of the headquarters.”

    Then Namgung Shinjae intervened again.

    “Dang Sojeo if it’s an opportunity to hear a woman’s evaluation I also have something in mind. How about this confession? I want to share a sword with you until I die. “It’s a prestigious name.”

    Then Tang Nan-ah answered with a puzzled expression.

    “No if we share swords until we die isn’t it just a matter of life or death? “What enemy are you looking for?”

    “This is why I can’t communicate with people who aren’t swordsmen.”

    “What is it? “Then why did you ask?”

    “I see. It’s my fault. I’m sorry. I should have asked my female swordsman. “What does Geomwoo think? Well more than that Geomwoo is on vacation this year?”

    Was this kid the age-sensitive type?

    Cheong smiled and answered in a kind tone.

    “Why not choose your words well? “If you’re going to at least say that you look older.”

    “No I’m not that kind of person. hmm. Well what does age have to do with the test? How does Geomwoo hear this confession? “I will hold my sword until I die-”

    “At first I thought it was okay but after hearing Nana’s words I can now only think of it as a matter of life or death. “If we fight until one of us dies it’s a matter of life or death right?”

    “After hearing it clearly I was like ‘Oh my gosh.’ Then um yeah I want to share the sword for the rest of my life. oh. This is also a prestigious name. What do you think this time? “It is a confession of conversion.”

    “It’s better than life or death. But do you really have to share the sword? Is the sword a sign of some kind? “Share the sword?”

    Jeongpyo was once a popular thing to do dividing a decoration into pieces and keeping them together.

    It was worn by lovers and was also used by men who secretly took in concubines to run two households as a gift to their illegitimate children.

    Then Geomwoo went one step further.

    “oh. That’s a good idea too. “If we divide the sword and use it as a token of the covenant… well that won’t work. If we divide the sword it will end up being half a sword.”

    “Surely the ban is a serious matter. Besides you can never win if you split the sword.”

    Cheong nodded in sympathy.

    It is said that the fifth floor is located and the sixth floor is a resting place.

    The seventh floor is said to be a place where members of the Phoenix Society women who are tired of men’s antics gather.

    Now that I’m here I thought I’d take a quick look.

    And to be honest I was curious about what the sea lily was wearing.

    When I saw it briefly yesterday the outfit was so desirable that it was nice to look at.

    Yesterday I couldn’t look closely at Gongsun Yaoye because I had some business to attend to.

    Hmm you probably wore denim clothes today as well right?

    Cheong quickly climbed the stairs with a heart pounding in anticipation.
