Episode 29
According to the principles, it would not be right for Yerin to beat up her senior brother-in-law… … .
‘Who am I?’
This worldview’s greatest villainess, Dang Ye-rin, right?
To be exact, it’s a bitch, but… … .
Anyway, a villainess must act like a villainess!
“… … “Please come up to the training ground.”
The disciple gritted his teeth and turned around first.
Just like that, Yerin and her student stood facing each other on the training ground.
The disciple declared in a fierce voice.
“Even if you’re the matriarch, I won’t look after you.”
“I am.”
Yerin lightly shrugged her shoulders.
“profit!”
At the same time, a very excited student rushed towards Yerin.
* * *
Purr-!
The four horses that had come a long way were emitting hot snorts.
A luxurious four-horse carriage glides to a halt, followed by a simple carriage ridden by servants.
It was truly a luxurious procession.
After that.
Inside the chariot, a boy with red eyes and an elderly man appeared.
“Hey, why is it so cold!”
The boy who got out was very irritated, shaking his whole body.
The disciple who was waiting for the two took a step forward and made a sweeping gesture.
“You worked really hard to walk this far.”
“That… … .”
“This is Hyuk Min-woo, the first disciple of the North Sea Ice Palace. “I am here to welcome you two today.”
“One versus disciple?”
Then, the boy looked up at his student with crooked eyes.
“Not even a great disciple, but at most just a disciple serving the Lord of the Four Heavenly Tang Dynasties?”
“… … .”
“It seems that the North Sea Ice Palace is not very sincere in welcoming guests.”
At the boy’s sarcasm, Hyuk Minwoo’s face suddenly stiffened.
That’s right, the great disciples are those who are considered the best in their family.
The very act of sending out such a disciple to greet guests was tantamount to showing the utmost courtesy to the other person.
But even though he knew everything about it, the boy was still complaining.
“Oh, it’s so cold I’m dying. So where will we stay?”
Moreover, he even spoke informally.
However, Hyuk Min-woo just swallowed his anger and lowered his head.
“… … “I will guide you.”
That’s because the opponent was Tang Ye-jun, the head of the Sichuan Tang Dynasty and the brother of the current family mother.
‘No matter how powerful the Sacheondangmun is, I never thought they would be so arrogant.’
Since I was in a position to purchase Sullucho, I thought I would at least follow the minimum courtesy.
Hyuk Min-woo, who was walking, glanced back.
But the surprising thing is… … .
‘I didn’t know that the So family head of the Tang family would come all the way here in person.’
Moreover, the person who came with him was the commander-in-chief of the Sichuan Tangmun.
It’s like sending the right hand man of the family.
‘It seems clear that Sacheondangmun considers this auction important.’
That’s because both of them were powerful figures in the Sacheon Dangmun.
Dang Ye-jun, who was walking behind Hyuk Min-woo, became angry.
“No, are you planning to freeze people to death? Why is my place so far away?!”
“I’m sorry, just go a little further.”
“I shouldn’t have done something so sorry in the first place!”
Yejun was showing off his temper like that.
“for a moment.”
Yejun stopped walking without realizing it.
“That girl… … ?”
At the Mu Park on the way to my residence, I discovered an unexpected sight.
“Isn’t it Tang Ye-rin?!”
Yejun, shocked, opened his mouth.
“… … “No, what is this!”
The commander-in-chief of the Tang family who was nearby was also startled and fixed his eyes on the sky.
Light off-white ceremonial uniforms fluttered across the bright blue sky.
A girl with a small body was gracefully crossing the sky like a butterfly.
The sight was so overwhelming that you couldn’t even see the disciples who were rolling around like fallen leaves underneath.
‘How on earth did this happen?!’
Yejun opened his eyes and watched Yerin’s movements.
And that moment.
Yejun’s eyes widened and wavered.
‘… … ‘I can’t follow the movements.’
My liver felt cold as if I had swallowed a large piece of ice.
‘How can this be?’
When she was at Sacheondangmun, Yerin did not have a chance to learn the ‘ㅁ’ character for martial arts.
But is it possible to achieve such overwhelming accomplishments in just a few months?
Yejun looked back at Hyuk Minwoo with an impatient gesture.
“Why on earth is that girl swinging a sword?”
“It’s not ‘that girl.’ “She is the matriarch of the North Sea Ice Palace.”
Hyuk Minwoo shook his head resolutely.
“Please be polite to the matriarch.”
Matriarch? A matriarch?
Yejun felt his stomach twist.
I have to be polite to this girl who has been treating me like trash all this time?!
“Also, to answer your question.”
Hyuk Minwoo continued speaking in a calm tone.
“Lord Mukongong said that the matriarch is a genius who comes along once in a hundred years or not.”
“… … genius?”
No, that can’t be true.
If Yerin had a talent for martial arts, her father would have recognized her long ago… … .
Yejun swallowed dry saliva.
‘No, that’s not important right now.’
Putting all that aside, the fact that right now felt as cold as a knife to his neck.
‘If me and that girl fight swords… … .’
At that assumption, Yejun’s face distorted.
‘It is difficult to guarantee victory.’
It was because I had that confidence.
* * *
The first disciple who lunged at Yerin was thrown back in just one hit after engaging with her wooden sword.
“next.”
The second student’s head was unpleasantly trampled by Yerin, who jumped up from her seat.
“next.”
The third disciple was hit in the leg by Yerin’s wooden sword and fell to the floor, screaming.
“next.”
The fourth disciple was overwhelmed by Yerin and hesitated to retreat, but his steps got twisted and he fell.
“next… … Oh, is it all over already?”
widely.
Yerin stepped on the ground as lightly as a bird.
“What? Since everyone is so energetic, I thought there was some reason to believe them.”
Yerin, who was looking down at the people sprawled on the floor, snorted.
“Is this all there is?”
“Uh, when did you get such skills… … !”
“This is a lie!”
The shocked disciples widened their eyes.
Yerin smiled brightly.
“You can’t admit defeat like a man, but you talk about lies. “The name of the disciple of the North Sea Ice Palace is a waste.”
“Madam!!”
“You all know it well.”
Yerin’s smile became a little deeper.
“The North Sea Ice Palace is a place where it is natural for the strong to be on top.”
“Ugh… … !”
Each of the disciples bit their lips until they bled.
Yerin asked back sarcastically.
“Looking at me like this, I guess I’ll be on your head for the rest of my life. “Isn’t that right?”
Ah, it feels like 10 years of congestion has been lifted!
Yerin didn’t even try to hide her satisfied expression.
See, this is the true education of our ancestors!
“… … “A woman of heaven and earth like you, Mother-in-Law, will never understand our feelings!”
At that moment, one of his disciples shouted that in a poisonous voice.
“As soon as he came to the North Sea Ice Palace, he became Lord Mukongong’s best disciple and accomplished tremendous feats!”
The disciples’ faces were suddenly filled with defeat.
“Would you like to see criminals like us?!”
But despite that desperate cry, Yerin did not even lift an eyebrow.
Instead, he just narrows his eyes and asks his disciples back.
“Then shouldn’t you be more grateful to me?”
“… … yes?”
“Haven’t I found a way for you to stop being criminals?”
The disciples blinked their eyes blankly at the words that caught them off guard.
Yerin lightly shrugged her shoulders.
“I’m talking about Seollucho.”
Seolucho.
A precious herb that increases the stamina of those with ice skills just by consuming it.
In addition, it is also a material for the Seolhwadan, the sacred altar of the North Sea Ice Palace… … .
‘no way!’
At that moment, the disciples’ eyes opened wide.
Yerin chuckled.
“Why, do you think you understand now?”
“Seoul, Seolhwadan… … Are you saying you will pay us as well?”
“okay.”
Yerin nodded gently.
The disciples’ pupils shook violently as if there had been an earthquake.
“But we are the three disciples with the lowest distribution… … .”
“so?”
Yerin tilted her head crookedly.
“If the distribution is low, will I end up not being a disciple of the North Sea Ice Palace?”
“… … No, that’s not it.”
In fact, providing elixirs to all disciples was very difficult, even for the most famous sects and families.
In the first place, the elixir itself was a very precious item.
But Yerin shook her head resolutely.
“We have already received permission from the palace lord.”
“Go, matriarch…” … .”
“As soon as the amount of Seolhwadan is secured, one pill will be provided to all disciples of the North Sea Ice Palace.”
At that declaration, both emotion and shame appeared in the disciples’ eyes.
“Oh, this can’t be right…” … .”
“We don’t even know that… … .”
Come to think of it, Yerin never once looked down on other students just because she had outstanding talent.
Rather, they just harbored a sense of inferiority and stayed away from it.
‘The matriarch thinks so much of us… … .’
‘Really, how should I apologize?’
The disciples had solemn expressions.
My face is so hot that I can’t raise my face.
