Moon-Shadow Sword Emperor

Episode 364:

Same time.

Accommodation for VIPs within the Guangxi branch of the Murim League.

Cheon Ga-ryeong, who was sitting across the table from Tang Seo-yeon, poured tea into an empty cup and asked.

“What brings you here, sister?”

“It’s been a while since we’ve been alone together like this.”

“Yes. We’ve both been hectic so far…”

“I’m sorry for coming to you so suddenly. “I was looking for an opportunity to talk just the two of us, but I thought now would be the best time.”

“You don’t need to apologize. “It’s not like I had anything else to do.”

“The reason I came to see my younger brother is because I want to ask you one thing.”

“……?”

“What does your brother think of Unlang?”

Cheon Ji-ryeong’s expression hardened.

I couldn’t understand the intention of the question.

The term Unrang probably refers to Yeonsun.

Yeonsun’s acknowledged lover was asking another woman what she thought of him.

It would be even weirder if I didn’t feel confused.

“What is your purpose in asking such a question?”

It was not a question of human kindness.

There’s no way I’d be curious about something like that now.

The meaning of Tang Seo-yeon’s question is probably ‘Do you have feelings for Yeon So-un?’

“…This might be a difficult question to answer. “I think I spoke too ramblingly.”

“I’m the manager, so you don’t want me to be too close to the Yeon Sohyup?”

“No, quite the opposite.”

Tang Seoyeon shook her head with a bitter smile.

Cheon Ji-ryeong’s eyes narrowed.

“I asked a question, but I didn’t really want to hear the answer. “For example, I already know how my younger brother feels.”

“…….”

“Do you like Unrang?”

Cheon Ji-ryeong’s face turned white.

I didn’t know what to say here.

Hundreds of thoughts ran through my head.

The memory that comes to mind most vividly is the moment when I infiltrated Sima Family not long ago and was breathed underwater by Yeon-yun.

‘Why at a time like this?’

My heart was pounding.

I could hardly calm my emotional agitation.

“I know. “Because I’ve been watching it for a long time.”

“Since when did you know?”

“Is that important?”

“…….”

An awkward silence fell.

Tang Seo-yeon cleared her throat once before hesitantly opening her mouth.

“There is something I would like to ask my younger brother.”

“Please speak.”

“I wish you would approach Unrang more actively. “Don’t look at me.”

“I don’t know why you’re asking me that, even though you know how I feel. “Aren’t you feeling wary?”

“I’d be lying if I said I didn’t feel anxious. “If Unlang’s affections were directed to another woman other than me, I would definitely feel jealous.”

“But why?”

“Because I can’t have children.”

Female poisoners cannot have children.

To be exact, you shouldn’t have children.

This is because the poison is transmitted to the fetus, resulting in the terrible experience of stillbirth.

This was a fact that no one involved in Moorim knew.

“Are you concerned about the issue of future succession? “I don’t think the Yeon Sohyeop would have made you feel uneasy for that reason.”

“Your brother is right. Actually, Unrang didn’t say much to me. But…”

Chen Jiiling’s eyebrows rose slightly.

I felt like I knew what Seoyeon Dang wanted to say without having to listen to what was said.

A young star who stands shoulder to shoulder with the absolute leaders of the martial arts world.

What will happen when it is revealed that the divine companion is a woman who cannot have children?

I can guarantee that unfavorable views would follow.

Perhaps, even if the two get married, people who offer marriage talks to Yeonsun will continue to appear.

Because he is a person with that level of status, identity, and influence.

Unfortunately, Moorim was that kind of place.

“I didn’t know that you would care so much about what other people think.”

“Because I’m human too.”

It was a completely unconvincing answer.

Tang Seo-yeon, whom Cheon Ga-ryeong knew, was a person who was sensitive to the gaze and reactions of others.

Surprise, disgust, contempt, contempt, sympathy, pity, etc.

Seo-yeon Dang grew up receiving many types of attention since childhood.

The hideous burns that covered half of her face gave her a variety of experiences.

He even witnessed a blatant change in attitude from people around him after he achieved transformation.

It never occurred to me that she would be upset by rumors or her surroundings.

“Whoa.”

Cheon Ga-ryeong gulped down the hot tea in one go and put the cup down with a loud thud.

Just as Tang Seo-yeon knew Cheon Ji-ryeong, Cheon Ji-ryeong also knew Tang Seo-yeon.

She is a blood relative of the Tang family.

She was a bold and assertive female warrior.

Of course, contrary to her appearance, she could also have a soft side.

It’s not that I don’t get hurt, it’s that I’m just used to suppressing it in my heart and hiding it.

But at least one thing was certain.

He is not the type of person who would speak weakly in front of himself like this.

“So you are trying to connect me with the Korea Federation of Societies?”

“huh. So to speak, this is a favor for me. “For someone of Unrang’s caliber, it wouldn’t be a bad thing to have multiple wives.”

This was not something a woman from a Tang family known for being harsh would say.

Cheon Ji-ryeong’s eyes trembled slightly.

I couldn’t understand why he was saying things that lowered his own value so much.

To ease the burden on your mind?

Who would believe such insincere excuses?

I couldn’t quite grasp it.

Is he trying to test this, or is he up to something else?

“If Unrang takes a second wife, I hope it will be my younger brother and not someone else. “Not a girl from a prestigious family who I don’t know.”

“…….”

“You might think it’s selfish, but can’t you do me a favor?”

“sister.”

Cheon Ga-ryeong opens her mouth with a cold voice.

The air in the room became heavy.

“Did you think I would be happy if you said that?”

Could it be because the reaction was different from what was expected?

Tang Seo-yeon’s face showed a look of bewilderment.

“I have received permission. Now I can express my feelings without pressure! Did you think they would shout and cheer like that?”

“Little brother.”

Seo-yeon Dang, who realized her mistake late, took action to correct it, but it was already too late.

Cheon Ji-ryeong’s questioning became more intense.

“I have already won his heart, so I will be generous and give you a chance too. “What is that?”

“No way. “I just.”

“No matter what intention you had when you said that, it seems to me to be nothing more than a deception by someone who has the money.”

It was correct in every detail.

From Cheon Ji-ryeong’s perspective, she could not help but be angry.

Tang Seo-yeon’s lips were tightly shut.

“I’ll nail it down for sure. I will achieve the future I want with my own hands. “I don’t need your consideration in that process.”

“…….”

“I’ll pretend I didn’t hear the story.”

“For example, my younger brother.”

“And… maybe there is a way to solve your problems.”

Cheon Ga-ryeong gets up from her seat with a small sigh.

Tang Seo-yeon blinked, unable to understand the meaning of the words she uttered.

“It means that there might be a way for single people to have children. “I found related records a while ago.”

“…!”

“I’ll just go now.”

Cheon Ga-ryeong solemnly turned his back and left the room, leaving Tang Seo-yeon behind.

Tang Seo-yeon just looked at her back with a blank expression.

* * *

Tak.

Cheon Ga-ryeong leaves the room.

After a while, Dang Seo-yeon, who was staring blankly at the closed door, muttered.

“…Thank you, little brother.”

I didn’t know.

There was no way I didn’t know.

The reason Cheon Ga-ryeong was angry was not because he made a rude request.

Rather, it was the opposite.

‘The respect of an elder is absurd. ‘I get all the comfort this way.’

The last words she said kept ringing in my head.

There might be a way for Germans to have children.

I wanted to chase after her and hear the details, but I couldn’t put my thoughts into action.

Even so, it wasn’t that shameless.

‘It’s just a story of possibility. Let’s not harbor vain hopes.’

Soon, Seo-yeon Tang shook her head with a bitter smile.

If such a method really exists, there is no way that I, a direct blood relative of the Tang family, would not know about it.

‘I did something terrible.’

I felt sorry.

He couldn’t understand how Cheon Ga-ryeong felt and ended up hurting her.

Would he have gone outside, leaving the guest in the room?

‘ha.’

There were a few things I learned after becoming Yeonsun’s lover and watching him from a close perspective.

He was a person with a very greedy personality.

And that greed came from lack.

If you were to ask me that I only coveted values that everyone envied, such as money, power, status, and fame, that would not be the case.

Even if no one else knew, Tang Seo-yeon knew.

Yeonsun also wants a life like ordinary people.

It was clear from the facial expressions he sometimes made when mentioning the Dokgo family.

‘I don’t know exactly about Unrang’s past.’

I knew at least that he, an orphan as a child, had entrusted himself to the Manjang family.

It would never have been an environment in which to grow up feeling the affection of family.

‘He’s just not giving birth out of consideration for me.’

It never occurred to me that he really had no desire for children.

That’s why I was heartbroken.

The fact that she had made him compromise with reality was unbearably painful.

Even more so because I know that the driving force that brought him to where he is today is his endless greed.

“…….”

To be honest, I still haven’t quite made up my mind.

Even as I asked Cheon Ji-ryeong for a favor, I felt a strong sense of rejection inside.

She probably saw through that point and spoke bitterly to herself.

‘Maybe it will be better in the future.’

* * *

I returned to the Guangxi branch with Wu Jiajin.

I called the members who were waiting in the VIP accommodation and gave them a place to speak to each other.

“This is Wu Jiajin Dahyeok, the Grand Prince of the Beast Palace. “He will soon officially join and become a member of the Cheonan Kambu, so please say hello in advance.”

“Infinite Buddha. nice to meet you “The main road is called Cheonwoo.”

Dojang Cheonwoo’s shoulders became stiff.

It seemed like he instinctively recognized it.

Wu Ga-jin’s inaction is so high that it cannot even be compared to his own.

Of the three members I brought to Guangxi, Tang Seo-yeon was the only one who went to Nanman with me.

Of course, the other two people were Woo Ga-jin and I had met for the first time.

“This is Cheon Ga-ryeong.”

“This is Tang Seoyeon.”

A strange current flowed.

Is it because of my mood?

There seemed to be an awkward atmosphere between the two women who greeted each other in turn.

“……”

Tang Seo-yeon glanced and looked at Cheon Ji-ryeong.

Cheon Ji-ryeong appeared to intentionally ignore Tang Seo-yeon.

I tilted my head and muttered to myself.

‘What happened?’
