Dark and Light Martial Emperor

Episode 163

The essence of darkness (3)

Surprise appeared on Mo Yong-woo’s face.

“you are?”

“…Ha ha ha ha ha.”

Tang Sang-ah, who was extremely embarrassed, eventually smiled sheepishly.

Of course, this situation couldn’t be overcome with a smile like that.

Yeon Ho-jeong glanced at Mo Yong-woo.

“Do you know anyone?”

“….”

“Ibosho.”

“omg! Yes?”

“Do you know someone?”

Before I knew it, Mo Yong-woo’s face was also filled with embarrassment.

“Oh, this person… that is…”

This person? Hmm?

‘surely.’

Yeon Ho-jeong looked at Dang Sang-ah’s outfit.

It’s not like Mukbi was dressed with the same care as if he were wearing a palace robe. However, looking at the high-quality silk and delicate, antique needlework, there was a high probability that the person came from a good family.

furthermore.

‘This deep and strangely sharp history looks quite familiar, doesn’t it?’

Surprisingly, his level of internal strength was almost that of Mo Yong-woo. Mo Yong-woo also learned a lot from the Mo Yong family and his inner strength grew greatly, but it was not normal for him to have a level of strength that was comparable to that of Mo Yong-woo.

People like this are rare. Even within the Murim Alliance.

‘He looks like he’s in his early twenties, but there’s a hint of authority in his eyes. ‘I think he’s around 30 years old.’

It was then.

Tang Sang’er suddenly stood up and took up arms in an almost reverential posture.

“sorry. He sneaked in and caused trouble. “I sincerely apologize.”

Yeon Ho-jeong tilted his head.

“First of all, should I introduce myself? So what is your identity?”

It’s not very rough, but it has a strangely rough feel like a Parakho.

Dang Sang-ah was embarrassed by Yeon Ho-jeong’s tone, but did not show it.

Whatever the reason, you are the one at fault. That was the important thing.

“I am a person who goes by the name Sang-ah. So…”

“…?”

“Once again, I would like to apologize. “Out of curiosity, I followed General Moyong of Donghae, but I acted against morality.”

Tang Sang-ah folded her waist in half.

“I’m really sorry.”

“…Hmm.”

Are you a strangely interesting person?

Yeon Ho-jeong was interested in the other person’s words and actions.

‘At least there doesn’t seem to be any bad intentions.’

After meeting so many people, I can now get a general idea of a person’s personality just by looking at their eyes.

Furthermore, by breaking through the barrier of all kinds and improving the quality of internal energy, essence, energy, and spirit became aligned, and a practical sixth sense was developed.

In his opinion, this woman named Sang-ah was not a person with grand ambitions or gloomy enough to scold others.

At least that’s how it felt.

‘hmm? But ivory?’

I’m sure I’ve heard this somewhere before?

At that time, Mo Yong-woo said.

“Dang sojeo.”

At that moment, Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes sparkled.

‘Dang? Tang Sang-ah? Then, the dark heaven goddess?!’

A member of the Ilryongsambong clan and the eldest daughter of the Sacheon Dang family, who was rumored to love the Dang family more than her own son.

And she was the eldest daughter of the Tang family, who must have met Mo Yong-woo yesterday.

‘no wonder.’

The quality and color of the internal energy was completely different from Dangyang Zen.

Rather, it was similar to the party hall from the time of the Emperor of Darkness. Of course, it was much weaker than that, but its flow and power completely captured my father’s attention.

It was when Yeon Ho-jeong was looking at Dang Sang-ah as if she was fascinated.

“You said you followed me?”

“yes?”

Mo Yong-woo’s face was somewhat stiff.

A shadow also appeared on Tang Sang-ah’s face.

“…yes. sorry.”

“why?”

“Oh, that’s it…”

That was then.

“Stay silent.”

“yes?”

Yeon Ho-jeong smiled darkly.

“Can I ask for some tea?”

Mukbi, who was about to ask why he was asking me to do that, was momentarily shocked. Because I saw the facial expression of this person who had no idea what was going on in his head.

‘Are they planning something again?’

Mukbi nodded.

“all right. “Just wait a moment.”

“There’s a lot of time. “You can give it to me slowly.”

“Sniff. “You must be young.”

As Muk-bi turned around, he glanced at Tang Sang-er.

Tang Sang-ah bowed his head without saying a word. I was full of regret for that action.

Mukbi quenched his appetite and left the room.

Yeon Ho-jeong clapped his hands.

“Now, let’s sit down.”

“yes?”

“Let’s sit down. “What’s the point of standing still?”

Mo Yong-woo looked at Yeon Ho-jeong in confusion.

‘Yeonje?’

Yeon Ho-jeong completely ignored his eyes.

“Did you say Dang Sojeo?”

“yes? “Oh, that’s right.”

“Please sit down.”

Yeon Ho-jeong’s voice had a strange power. Tang Sang-ah hesitated and sat down on the chair.

So the three people sat across the table.

Yeon Ho-jeong asked.

“But what is your relationship with Commander Moyong, so you secretly followed him?”

“omg! “There’s nothing between us!”

I felt like I was embarrassed by the words I said without realizing it. Tang Sang-ah spoke immediately.

“Oh that! We’re not in a relationship at all, but what should I say about this… I mean…”

“Aha? if?”

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes were openly insidious. Tang Sang-ah hurriedly spoke as her nostrils twitched and a strange smile appeared on her face.

“It’s not like that! Never! “I just…!”

“What did I say?”

“yes?”

“I didn’t say anything.”

“Ugh.”

Tang Sang-ah’s face turned red.

Yeon Ho-jeong said with a cheerful expression.

“ah! The season is turning into fall, but the blowing wind carries the warm spring sunlight. “Wow, it’s nice to feel warm in my heart!”

Mo Yong-woo spoke in a heavily suppressed voice.

“Commander Yeon. “Don’t tease me too much.”

“Are you teasing me? “Are you kidding me about what kind of relationship you and I have?”

“You don’t mean me.”

“then?”

Mo Yong-woo was embarrassed.

“Why do you keep doing this? Anyway, if you don’t have anything else to say, let’s just leave.”

I’m trying to have fun by digging up something.

Anyway, there is a need to freshen up the atmosphere.

Yeon Ho-jeong opened his mouth.

“Dang sojeo.”

“yes?”

“Did you come because of your younger brother?”

Brother?

For a moment, Tang Sang-ah’s eyes deepened.

“Are you talking about Yangseon?”

“exactly.”

Yeon Ho-jeong’s expression suddenly became calm.

“You heard it too. “What he did and who the person who destroyed him was.”

“…Byeoksanhojang Yeonhojeong. “It is Commander Yeon.”

“exactly.”

A cool feeling appeared in Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes.

“It was definitely him who made the mistake first. I think I showed some mercy just by sending the enemy who was in a bad mood to the point of murder without killing him. “And twice.”

“….”

“But as blood relatives, no matter what the causal relationship is, you can fully show hostility to the person who ruined your younger brother. “Maybe I was like that too.”

Tang Sang-ah spoke in a much calmer voice.

“Commander Yeon, what you are saying is that I came with the goal of General Yeon, not General Moyong?”

Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.

“Dangga is a famous text of reading and memorization. “Wouldn’t you be better than most assassins at killing one person?”

It was a very provocative statement.

Even though he may have made a mistake first, it was not something he could easily accept as a descendant of a famous family. If you were a person with strong pride in your family, it would be okay for you to get angry.

What will Tang Sang-ah’s reaction be?

“The fault of both sides is clear.”

“hmm?”

“For the opponent who was attacked, it is like a lightning bolt falling from a dry sky. As Commander Yeon said, I am grateful that they saved my life instead of killing me.”

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes sparkled.

Tang Sang-ah’s calm expression was real. However, it didn’t seem like he hated or despised his younger brother.

But what does it mean to be able to say something like that?

“I will ask you directly. “Aren’t you here to kill me?”

Tang Sang-ah smiled faintly.

“A young tiger from Gangdong. “He is a passionate boy who tried to take on the best family in the world alone, the leader of the Murim Alliance’s deadly army, and a genius expert who broke through the barrier of martial arts as the youngest martial artist of his time.”

“….”

“I can’t touch you with my level of skill. “Rather, you will end up just like your younger brother.”

He is serious when complaining and is not easily swayed by provocative remarks. There is wisdom in soothing an aggressive opponent and making him accept his innocence.

He was a person who knew how to draw clear lines. People like this are rare in Moorim, regardless of gender.

‘I like it.’

He has a good personality. No, in Yeon Ho-jeong’s opinion, Dang Sang-ah was someone who smelled like a person, not unlike someone from the harsh Sacheon Dang family.

“In other words, that wasn’t my goal?”

“yes. “To begin with, I hate fighting.”

“I didn’t know that a person called the dark heavenly goddess of the world would say such a thing.”

Tang Sang-ah said bitterly.

“Yes? “Everyone thought that way.”

“I guess you only know people when you meet them.”

Yeon Ho-jeong, who was nodding, made a gloomy expression again.

“Then did you secretly follow Commander Moyong because you had some business to do?”

“Ugh.”

Tang Sang-ah casually smoothed her hair.

“That…”

“That?”

Mo Yong-woo also secretly looked at Tang Sang-ah, probably because he was curious.

Tang Sang-ah’s face turned slightly red.

“I don’t know if you will believe it.”

“Please speak.”

“…By Bored.”

“…?”

Yeon Ho-jeong blinked like an idiot. Mo Yong-Woo looked at Tang Sang-Ah blankly, as if feeling helpless.

Tang Sang-ah’s face turned even redder.

“I know it’s ridiculous even to think about it. But it’s true. I was really bored. I happened to see Commander Moyong, and when I saw his expression, he seemed a bit serious. “I was curious and had nothing to do, so I just…”

“And then you ended up hiding in the ceiling?”

“Oops! I was going to leave right away! I don’t know if you’ll believe this either. I have a serious illness where I can’t control myself once I get hooked. “It’s a crazy unconscious thing that I don’t even know about…”

“I believe it.”

“…yes?”

“I believe it.”

Tang Sang-ah’s eyes bulged like beads.

“Really?”

It seems like he thought he would be treated like a fool even if he said it. Tang Sang-ah’s expression looked even more absurd than Yeon Ho-jeong or Mo Yong-woo.

Yeon Ho-jeong asked Mo Yong-woo.

“You don’t believe me?”

Mo Yong-woo shook his head.

“There’s no reason not to believe it.”

“okay?”

“That’s right.”

Mo Yong-woo truly thought so.

It’s not because I’m quick-witted, but because I think people can actually be that way when they’re bored. Of course, there is no reason not to believe it when he says it with such sincerity that there are such people in a river where swords are rampant.

People are all different. There are many people who are weirder than me. That’s the world.

Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.

“Anyway, I understand that you have no ill will.”

“omg! thank you! “You really believe me!”

“I believe it. But I think faith and forgiveness are different issues.”

Tang Sang-ah’s expression, which had been as bright as a flower in full bloom, suddenly changed into that of a withered weed.

“That’s right. “Anyway, I made a big mistake.”

“yes.”

“…It’s really shameless. “I will pay any price as long as it does not violate moral principles.”

Yeon Ho-jeong and Mo Yong-woo also smiled.

He is a good person.

Although he is unique, he knows how to be serious and never tells a lie. He had such a hardened personality.

As for Yeon Ho-jeong, it was a type of innocence that I had not seen in a long time, except for Mukbi and Yeon Ji-pyeong, and Mo Yong-woo was a type I had never seen before in my life.

“General Moyong.”

“hmm?”

“How much time is left until the founding ceremony?”

“huh? omg!”

Mo Yong-woo suddenly stood up.

“It’s already almost noon. “I need to get up now.”

“That’s right.”

Yeon Ho-jeong nodded and pointed at Dang Sang-ah with his chin.

“Take me with you.”

“…uh?”

“Take me with you.”

“My me?”

“Then should I take you with me? “Are you telling me not to come?”

“That’s true, but there is no need for the party governor to attend the founding ceremony…”

“You should attend. From today, I am a member of the Tangma Army.”

Mo Yong-woo’s eyes widened. Tang Sang-ah couldn’t figure out what was going on, so she just rolled her eyes.

“What does that mean?”

“Dang Sojeo said that. I’ll pay the price. “Wouldn’t it be a great help to Tangma’s army if it had the same strength as Tang Sojeo?”

“What?!”

Yeon Ho-jeong grinned.

“If you made a mistake, you have to pay the price. Isn’t that right, Dan Soje?”

“….”

“You said you were bored? Then go to work.”

Tang Shang’er’s eyes opened blankly.

For the first time in her life, she cursed her curiosity.
