Only Noblemtl

Episode 554: Invincible

One woman was talking to Mok-yeom, and another was talking to Mok-seol. However, U-dong, who was sitting next to Yong-jin, was just watching Yong-jin eat like crazy without saying anything.

“Would you like some too?”

Yongjin said with an embarrassed face.

“It’s okay. You eat first, Master. After you finish eating, I have something to ask you.”

Udon said with a smile.

“Then please wait a moment. I’m so hungry.”

It was true that he was hungry, but Yongjin wanted to hear what Mukyeom was talking about with them.

The mercenaries only watched and didn’t even move a hand when told to eat. It was as if they were embarrassed to eat in front of a beautiful woman.

Yongjin was surprised when he heard the conversation between Mokyeon and the woman. Although they didn’t show it on the outside, they were all skilled in martial arts.

When the woman asked Mok-yeon some questions, Mok-yeon also began to ask about how to deal with obstacles encountered during practice. The woman gave some very excellent views. Some methods were so brilliant that they made one slap his knee.

Yongjin could finally understand why people felt as if they were sitting on pins and needles even though they were sitting with these women.

These women raise very sensitive issues, and if you don’t answer them well, the mood will be ruined.

The exchange was also very fair. After asking a question, the other person was given a chance to ask a question as well.

However, Mokseol did not ask any more questions after exchanging three questions with one of the women. Mokseol felt a little embarrassed. It was because he could not answer the woman’s questions properly. The two people were not on the same level.

Still, Mok-yeom had the basics, so he exchanged many problems with women. Mok-yeom felt that he had gained a lot from this step.

The woman who had been interacting with Mokyum for a while now looked at Yongjin.

Everyone looked at Yongjin, who stopped eating and wiped his mouth.

Before Udong could open his mouth, Yongjin spoke first, looking embarrassed.

“Miss Udon, can I ask you a question?”

“sure.”

Udon said with a smile.

“Can you like me?”

Yongjin said, looking a little embarrassed.

When Yongjin said this, everyone was dumbfounded. Mokyeon’s eyes widened. To be so direct, Yongjin is too poisonous.

Udon shook his head in confusion.

“I can’t do it.”

“You can’t do it, then I’ll teach you. Actually, liking someone is very simple……”

Yongjin said with shining eyes.

“Yongjin, how can you be so shameless?”

Mukyeon couldn’t stand it anymore and almost spit out blood.

“I’m joking. Don’t be so serious and have some fun. The atmosphere here is so tense, I’m just trying to ease the tension.”

Yongjin said with a smile.

Udon shook his head in disbelief and said.

“Master Yongjin is truly different. However, you certainly do not need to be so nervous. We are all practitioners, and on the path of practice, we are all children, and there is no distinction between high and low.”

The Mokseol mercenary group was moved by Udong’s words. This was a kind of comfort and recognition for them. In her eyes, they were all the same people.

Orphanhood is a noble quality, not something that can be achieved by discriminating against or trampling on others.

People outside have no idea what orphanage is. As Yongjin said, they are all pretenders.

“Miss Udon, I’ll buy you a drink. I admire your generosity.”

Yongjin felt affection for the young lady here for the first time. Udong’s sense of equality was an honest statement that came from the heart.

“Yongjin, that person….”

Muk-yeom tried to tell Udong that he doesn’t drink alcohol.

“I feel embarrassed because Lord Yongjin is looking after me so well.”

Udong smiled and clinked his glasses with Yongjin.

Udon’s actions made Mokyum dumbfounded. It wasn’t just Mokyum who was dumbfounded, but everyone’s eyes in the place widened.

The young lady of the drinking establishment had never drunk alcohol before. To break the precedent because of Yongjin, Udong was no ordinary woman.

Except for Hwagwae (the leader of the flowers, a once famous gisaeng), no one could match Udong’s beauty. She was a young lady who rarely showed up at Chwiseonru.

But this time she not only showed her face, she even tilted her glass.

Everyone at the scene was jealous of Yongjin.

“You have shown me so much respect, Lord Yongjin. I will accept this glass. I believe that there will be no secrets in our future interactions.”

Udong said while looking at Yongjin.

Yongjin thought, “Oh no. She’s trying to tie people up with this one glass of alcohol. If you don’t answer honestly to any question, you’ll end up being a mean person.

“Of course. Ask me anything. As long as it’s not something that’s personal, I won’t hide anything from you.”

Yongjin said, beating his chest.

Yongjin mentioned his private life because he didn’t have to use his private life as an excuse when asked what kind of method he had learned. This way, he could protect himself and maintain his credibility.

“Master Yongjin, don’t worry. We only discuss the Tao, and we don’t ask about your private life.”

Udong spoke as if he had seen through Yongjin’s inner thoughts.

Yongjin was rather relieved. He had thought that Udong would ask a direct question, but unexpectedly, she asked Mokseol a question.

“Miss Mokseol, what do you think the Tao is?”

Mokseol was dumbfounded. He probably didn’t know how to respond.

Mokseol thought for a moment and then spoke quietly.

“I think it is a kind of truth, or perhaps the highest expression of the state. It is too far away for us now. Perhaps this answer will be laughed at by you, young lady, but that is what I think.”

Mokseol was ashamed. Although she had practiced for so long and had already entered the pre-heavenly realm, she had never thought about such profound matters. The word ‘Tao’ seemed like a word too distant to her.

“Miss Mokseol, you don’t have to be humble. We too live without knowing the way and are searching for the answer. Just as Miss Mokseol doesn’t know, we don’t know either. We are all learning along the same lines, so what is there to laugh at?”

Udon said with a smile. Mokseol nodded in gratitude at her warm words.

The woman in the Chwiseonru had an air of loneliness, but was not arrogant. Everyone felt at ease and respected her.

“Master Mokyeom, what do you think Tao is?”

Udon asked Mukyeon the same question.

“I think it encompasses the extreme of things, the pinnacle of reason, and the laws of all things in heaven and earth.”

The silent prayer said.

“Oh! Can you elaborate?”

Udon’s eyes lit up slightly.

“The word ‘Tao’ means a law. In my understanding, Tao is a kind of relative principle. The principle is the division of the Way of Yin and Yang. All things in heaven and earth have two sides. Where there is a high place, there must be a low place, and where there is an up, there must be a down. Just as there is yin (陰) and yang (陽), the Way of Yang is what practitioners call the masculine force. Yang is when strength is extreme and the energy of progress overflows. Now that I’ve talked about Yang, let’s talk about Yin Dao (陰道: female quality). The Way of Yin is… ”

“Pfft!”

Yongjin spit out the alcohol in his mouth. Fortunately, he spit it out under the table, but if his reaction had been even a little slower, he would have spit out the alcohol all over the table.

Mokyeon immediately realized his mistake and quickly changed his words.

“The Way of Yin is a gentle force. Although it does not have explosive power, weak power continues endlessly. If strong power is excessive, it is easily broken, and if soft power is excessive, it has no sharpness. Neither is true power. Therefore, the power created when yin and yang meet and complement each other is true power. This is the Way in my opinion. Nothing can be absolute, and whether it is extreme yang or extreme yin, in the end there is only the path to death, so only the meeting of yin and yang is the true Way.”

Clap, clap… … .

Udon and the other two girls clapped their hands in surprise and spoke to Mukyeon.

“Master Mokyeom, you are truly insightful. Thanks to you, I have been able to broaden my horizons.”

“No, I got help. What I learned today I will be able to use for the rest of my life.”

Mukyeon spoke very politely.

Udon nodded and asked with a very serious face.

“Master Mokyeom, then what do you think the royal way is?”

Yongjin was a little shaken. Every word of Udong’s words were like a jewel, and had deep meaning, so it was difficult to answer.

Mokseol sighed in relief next to her. If Udon had asked her, she would have been embarrassed because she wouldn’t have been able to answer.

“The royal way is the way of the prince. It is similar to the way of the emperor. Governing with wisdom, not force, is the royal way.”

Mokyum thought for a moment and then said.

Udon nodded and said.

“Then what is defeat?”

“Paedo? This is hard to explain. Paedo is a noun in itself. In martial arts, it is said to be unrivaled in fighting spirit. Paedo is when your spirit reaches the heavens and you never surrender even when you die. I’m not sure if my answer is correct.”

Mukyeon said with uncertainty. He couldn’t even understand why Udong was asking.

“Master Mokyum, you are very good at answering questions. In fact, Master Mokyum, you don’t need to be nervous. The path of practice for people like us is different from others and we have to rely on enlightenment. That is why we ask many people questions about this aspect. Every single answer is a valuable teaching. Then, I will ask you the last question. Master Mokyum, what do you think the way of the benevolent person is?”

Udon said with a smile.

Mokyum, relieved by Udon’s words, smiled and said.

“I think the way of benevolence is what the wise men say, ‘a benevolent person has no enemies.’ However, people’s hearts are not like they used to be. People are fascinated by absolute power and have already forgotten what benevolence is. Therefore, spreading the way of benevolence with an evil group is like a rabbit entering a wolf’s den to try to influence them.”

Mokyeon spoke disparagingly of the Way of the Benevolent. In today’s world, power is revered, so believing in the Way of the Benevolent is tantamount to seeking death.
