    [Episode 191] Yongbong Branch

    Wow! The sound of the wooden swords clashing was sharp and soon the two halves separated and flew in the sky spinning around.

    Namgung Shinjae looked at the half-remaining wooden sword in despair and threw it to one side.

    The wooden dagger was the fifth.

    Cheong scratched his head in embarrassment.

    “Is the wooden sword a bit weak?”

    “It’s a wooden sword carved from ebony wood. This is going to be a problem. “If you rely on the power of a swordsman your sword power will not increase.”

    “What should I do if I’m strong? Should I at least pull out an iron sword for sparring?”

    “They say they are using a wooden sword on purpose. Isn’t it because people are weak that they use tools? Of course if it were a matter of life and death I would have lost right away but this isn’t just a sparring to decide the winner.”

    Namgung Shinjae could for example be said to be the master of sword sparring.

    In sparring where all dexterity and skill are removed and only the sword is used there is no one who can compete with him so his understanding of the sword is superior.

    According to the Sword King’s assessment if you have the flexibility to use your hands and feet you will reach the peak in no time.

    Martial arts were arts that used the body and swordsmanship that only dealt with swords was only a small part of it.

    It was not an expression of praise as a son but a very cold evaluation as a sword king among the ten greatest masters in the world.

    However he foolishly held on to only one sword and whined which was also the cause of the Sword King’s wrinkles growing more and more.

    “By the way Gongsun Soju really has a sharp sword. Did you say Heonwonjegeom? “It is truly an art worthy of being called the emperor’s sword.”

    “That is an overstatement. I also gained a lot of enlightenment after receiving Confucius’ sword. As expected excellent sword power worthy of the reputation of the best swordsman in the world… But was the term ‘sword power’ original?”

    “What does that mean from the beginning? “It is a language that any swordsman can understand so it is the language of swordsmen.”

    Cheong laughed and joked.

    “Why do I get so upset when I eat anything? “Why is it called ‘examination’ when you rest and ‘examination’ when you sleep?”

    “hmm? Since you don’t eat the sword it’s not a sword but since the sword doesn’t sleep it would be a bit difficult to have a sword. hmm. Get a sword. If you take a break during sparring you can call it a vacation. “Are there any more?”

    “hmm. Choryeo is said to have married Bangeom. So you’re telling me to go away?”

    “You’re black! Wow if I use Geomryeo now wouldn’t it be like plagiarism? Although I’m upset I have to acknowledge Sister Pang’s victory! And as the body that inherits the family I cannot abandon my duty.”

    “What were you thinking about getting married?”

    “There is no truth. I wish I could devote my whole life to the sword but as the eldest son of Namgung I have to carry on the family lineage. “I plan to go on a courting spree after I have achieved just the right amount of peace.”

    “Right now there is one peak reviewer and one peak transcendence person here?”

    “Haha swordsmanship is long and enlightenment is quick. “If you get caught up in the accomplishments of the moment you will only become impatient.”

    Since it was coming from a guy who was obsessed with his sword it wasn’t persuasive at all.

    Still I know one thing very well that there is no pressure at all to achieve so where on earth does that confidence and composure come from? It’s amazing.

    Gongsun Yaoye was a master of the late peak period!

    It is said that he picked up a sword at the age of five and only swung the sword after eating.

    It was not an idiom for training hard.

    In fact I haven’t taken a single step outside the fence since I picked up a sword at the age of five.

    The daily routine was training in the morning training after breakfast training after lunch training after dinner then waking up at two o’clock and repeating endlessly.

    Everyone listening was breathless.

    “Originally I planned to achieve the peak and go on a journey to become a guild member to raise the family’s name. However I heard that there was a vacant seat in the teenage family and thanks to that I was able to meet Cheong like this right?”

    “Something is wrong.”

    Cheong frowned over his cotton thread.

    No matter how much restoration of the family name is a long-held wish of the family does it have to take away all of a person’s most enjoyable time?

    If Gongsun Yaoye’s words had contained even a single complaint of hardship Cheongdo would have sympathized five hundred times and would have responded by saying that it was really too much.

    However what even I take for granted has been firmly engraved in my mind since childhood.

    Well this isn’t child abuse. Ye is all grown up and a decent woman now but still.

    Even Namgung Shinjae looked fed up.

    Namgung Shinjae was fascinated by the sword and training itself was a job specialty and hobby that he simply enjoyed and did not commit himself to with any obligation.

    He was a leisurely and free-spirited person who in addition to training enjoyed playing around with his hands.

    Since the real Geomchi was separate I thought I should give it up.

    Mo Yong-juhui’s heart was broken. No it was already broken on the seventh floor of the Yongbong branch.

    “Aaaah! Aaaah! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Turn it off ahhhhh….”

    This was not a cry but a scream of anger.

    It was the same scream that drunkards who are angry at the world after drinking make while injecting themselves.

    Where in the world is there a person who screams like that out of sadness and just one letter?

    Fortunately since I buried my face in the pillow there was less noise coming out.

    However the mouse listens to the night speech the bird hears the day speech and Mo Yong-jun listens to the sound of Mo Yong’s song.

    Mo Yong-jun who heard his sister crying opened the door to the guest room and rushed in.

    “Sister! what’s the matter? are you okay! Why are you crying!?”

    When I wanted to cry I saw my younger brother running towards me with a look on his face full of worry and I burst into tears!

    Mo Yong Joo-hee’s tears poured out.

    “Ju Jun! “Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk…”

    It was Mo Yong Joo-hee the younger brother who once drove a nail into his heart with harsh words but forgave him because he knew that there was no malice and Mo Yong-jun also had no heart.

    Of course since he was a boy he would not have breasts but sometimes even men with breasts would not forgive him and this was the reason why the viciousness of Mo Yong-juhui the sword of the world was widely spread among the late Jisoo.

    “what’s the matter! Who bullied me!? “Someone is harassing my sister!”

    “Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu looking at me… that bitch…!”

    One of Mo Yong-jun’s strengths that Mo Yong-joo-hee points out is that he is just the right size to hug. The ugly older sister hugged her younger brother and cried loudly.

    In response Mo Yongjun gently stroked his sister’s back with his fern-like hand.

    “Who bullied my sister? who is this! I’ll scold you. huh? “Sister don’t cry.”

    “Okay. Our Jun-ah is also the only one who likes Jun-ah. “My kind little brother…”

    “Are you okay? Why are you doing that? Isn’t it really true that someone was harassing my sister? tell me everything “I’m going to scold you.”

    Mo Yong-Juhui’s face became angry again.

    “Yeah that girl no that girl. You know Jun. Do you know what humiliation this sister suffered today? “Ah do you know what humiliation means?”

    “hmm. I don’t know.”

    “It’s incredibly sad angry embarrassing and even unfair. If you put it all together it’s an indignity. And what I suffered from that woman today is precisely that humiliation. “That bitch.”

    “It’s not a bad thing to say…”

    “You can say mean things to a bitch. And when you comfort a woman you have to take her side unconditionally. So if you want to comfort your sister Jun-a should quickly follow suit. “Bitch kill bitch.”

    “I’m a bitch. “Bitch to kill.”

    Surprisingly it was the faithful advice that an older sister should give to her younger brother.

    When comforting a woman it is the duty of a friendly man to take her side unconditionally even if she is a martial arts enemy of the world’s evil sect.

    A man who casually says things like “You’re at fault too” will usually end up single for the rest of his life.

    However you should stop at the line of empathizing taking sides and defending and you should never believe what the woman says.

    In times like this nine times out of ten what the woman said was close to fabrication just for her own benefit.

    Sometimes if you add a prefix like “I’m at fault too out of 10” you can understand that this woman has done something truly degrading and is coming to complain to me after being beaten and then take her side.

    “Yeah that’s right bitch. How could you do that to me? “Junya my older sister went to the Yongbong branch today and some crazy woman suddenly started spewing mean things at me.”

    “suddenly? “You didn’t do anything?”

    “okay. My sister just wanted to be friendly so I said hello but suddenly she started swearing at me. And then he asked me why a bitch with no breasts was pretending to be a woman and told me to get rid of the monster that was neither a man nor a woman and hit me and poured water on me… Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.”

    If Cheong had been there he would have witnessed the moment Mo Yong Ju-hee’s good karma dropped by one point.

    But I can’t see Mo Yongjun.

    “Don’t cry okay? “I will take revenge on myself.”

    “no. “It’s none of Juna’s business.”

    “Why doesn’t it matter? My sister’s job is my job. Leave it to me. Very mean humiliation? that’s right? huh! “I will humiliate you.”

    “My sister is happy that Jun said that. But it’s okay. Because you have to solve your sister’s problems. Wow when did our Jun-ah become so dependable and comfort her older sister? huh. “Okay shall we take a bath together after a long time?”

    This is what good family is all about.

    Mo Yong Joo-hee whose anger had already subsided smiled at her pretty younger sister.

    “I too am all grown up now.”

    “Wow this is a very manly thing. “Then shall I sleep with my sister?”

    “Oh is that okay? “You only do that with a married woman…”

    “It’s okay with family. “It’s okay because a married woman is also family right?”

    “huh! Then let’s sleep together!”

    “He’s my little brother but he’s so cute.”

    Mo Yong Ju-hee hugged his younger brother tightly.

    Yes because we haven’t been defeated yet.

    It’s a judgment call I’ll pay you back properly.

    How about ruining your reputation?

    This is what my loving family remains.

    —-

    Paengdaesan was sitting on an open wall and watching the sun set on the street.

    In the field of view of Paengdaesan Mountain there were always women climbing the walls so it was fun to see the streets moving around without paying any attention to me.

    I wonder if everyone has lived to see something like this.

    Then there was a woman wearing a cotton yarn over there.

    It was a woman walking straight down the center of the street with long manly strides.

    Then all of a sudden his head seemed to turn in this direction but he raised his hand and waved it loudly to show his happiness.

    Paengdaesan’s mouth became slack without me realizing it.

    It was a smile so beautiful that a woman would faint if she saw it.

    “Hmm did you have fun?”

    “then. Eat delicious food and eat delicious food again. hmm. It was delicious. Not going to the mountains? “It’s delicious.”

    “I don’t know. You have to talk meaninglessly. Even if you call it a Yongbong branch in the end people who know each other come together.”

    “joy. “That’s exactly what someone without friends would say.”

    Cheong chuckled and sat down.

    “Actually I don’t know. Everyone is so busy teasing each other that they don’t really have anything interesting to say. Moreover because of what the teacher said I have to show off my pretense so I feel very uncomfortable.”

    “Is it pretentious?”

    “Are you sneaky? Is that right? disguise? Transformation?”

    “It’s almost like a transformation. “But to say it wasn’t fun didn’t you stay up late?”

    “I was just sparring with Geomwoo and Ye. It’s been a while since I sparred and it’s rewarding. “Nana said the party had arrived so she went to see her family on the way.”

    “Hmm.”

    “ah. right. Did you see Geumyang Sword Flower? By the way didn’t you say that Paengga would come with Moyongga? “Then the Paengga has arrived too?”

    “They said it arrived last night. I’m thinking of going to the guest house soon. “We have reserved plenty of rooms here so use them however you feel comfortable.”

    “What is it can’t I come see it too?”

    Then Peng Daesan shook his head.

    “Now that I think about it Dannan what she said wasn’t so wrong. Moreover if you have been representing the female priesthood you will have to receive a separate guest invitation. “I will stop by tomorrow morning and go say hello to the leader together.”

    “Is that so?”

    And then Paeng Daesan stood up from his seat.

    “Go already?”

    “What’s the point of having it? ah. “If you’re hungry I left Sorongpo and gyoza in the kitchen under your name so you can find them and eat them.”

    “Oh. mountain! Hiya thank you. I will eat well.”

    “It’s no big deal. See you tomorrow then.”

    And then he leaves without looking back.

    Cheong who was left alone leaned back on his chair and looked at the back for a moment then as if he remembered something he jumped up and shouted.

    “Jumsoy! “Please serve the dish entrusted to me in Seomun-cheong’s name!”
