Episode 603: A Trap Will Actually Become an Opportunity
“Chief Joo, your smile is so bright. It’s a shame not to sell your smile.”
No matter how stupid Yongjin was, he could sense that something bad was going to happen today. That’s why he immediately started to complain when Joo-cheong let out a wicked laugh.
At those words, Joo-Cheong jumped as if he had been slapped in the face and shouted.
“Yongjin, don’t you care about adults? Do you think you’ll only come to your senses if you get hit?”
“Can you call yourself a superior with virtues like yours? Don’t you know better than anyone what kind of person you are? Or do you not remember committing immoral acts? It doesn’t matter if you don’t remember. Someone will remember and finish the accounting.”
Yongjin said coldly.
This stupid woman stopped Su Mu-heun when Yong Jin was being chased by Eun Mu-sang. In the end, Su Mu-heun ended up helping Yong Jin, but Yong Jin did not forget this incident.
Yongjin was not a good person, and he remembered this enemy. This was no different from killing Yongjin himself.
“you…….”
“Why? I didn’t come here to see the laughter you sell, nor to listen to your nonsense. I came here to meet Jang Won Daein. I hope you won’t waste your precious time talking nonsense.”
Yongjin looked at Su-mu-heun with an expression that showed he didn’t want to deal with a stupid woman.
Su Moo-Heun looked at Yong-Jin with a somewhat apologetic expression and said.
“Yongjin, starting today, you will be exiled to the Territory of Chaos for three months.”
* * *
In Sumuheun’s room, Yongjin was sitting very quietly. It was Sumuheun who broke the silence first.
“Aren’t you angry?”
Yongjin shook his head.
“I did that to you in front of all those people, aren’t you even mad?”
Sumuhun said as if he didn’t understand.
“There must have been a reason why you did that. I know you wouldn’t hurt me. If I had gotten angry, you would have been even sadder.”
Yongjin said with a smile.
The regret reflected in Sumuhun’s eyes grew even deeper at Yongjin’s warm words.
She thought that if she announced the exile, Yongjin would go crazy on the spot. However, Yongjin simply nodded calmly and didn’t even ask why.
“It must have been an order from the higher-ups. They must have declared my exile in front of so many people in order to condemn me. They must have named the charges as they pleased. For example, conspiring with the Mok family to commit murder, or disobeying discipline and running wild. It doesn’t matter what it is.
It hasn’t been long since the Gaecheon Shinjong left, so this incident probably has nothing to do with him. And through him, I learned about the Gaecheon Shinjong’s way of doing things. This is definitely not their doing.
The Sangosidae clan alliance is going through a very sensitive time because of the Muk clan. They won’t try to make a big deal out of it either, so it’s not very likely.
If my guess is correct, that fool of the Dantop Hwa family must have gone back that day in disappointment, and put pressure on the higher-ups. The higher-ups value profit, so they would have tried to resolve the matter by exiling the disciple for a few months. If punishing one disciple could appease Dantop’s anger, what could be better than that? Sister, is my guess correct?”
Yongjin said with a smile.
Su Mu-heun, who was originally thinking about how to explain, looked at Yong-jin with surprised eyes.
However, Yongjin was able to guess most of the incidents just by hearing the news of exile. This was truly amazing wisdom.
“Sister, you don’t have to be so surprised. Right now, the only forces that can put pressure on the Hyeoncheon Dojong are those three families. Aside from those two families, it’s clear who did it. Sister, it’s just too much of a bother to think about the situation.”
Yongjin said with a smile.
Su Moo-heun thought about it for a moment. It was definitely true. Since the intention to target Yong-jin was so clear, it wouldn’t have been difficult to guess the whole story behind the incident.
“This is because of the Zhou family. They intervened and supported this decision. They did not want their lives, but they thought that if they could just make one disciple bow his head, Dantop’s reputation would be saved, so the matter would be resolved easily. They could not sacrifice Dantop’s reputation for the sake of a disciple’s reputation.
Our Su family worked hard for this, but unfortunately, we were pushed aside by the other three families who claimed their own interests. You may think this is ridiculous. You are a person within our Su family’s territory, but even our Su family did not think much of this. The Su family judged that there was no need to embarrass themselves with the other families, so they ordered me to announce this. And in order to show it to Dantop, they deliberately called together all the people and announced your exile in front of everyone.”
Su Mu-heun smiled bitterly. At the same time, she felt a deep sense of helplessness. She had no power to change the orders of her superiors.
However, Yongjin was not surprised and was very calm. From the moment he heard this news, Yongjin had already figured out his opponent’s goal.
“Sister, I want to know. What exactly is the structure of our Hyeoncheon Dojong? I don’t know anything about the upper echelons of the Hyeoncheon Dojong.”
Yongjin said.
“Okay, I’ll give you a rough idea of the entire continent.”
According to Sumuhun, this world was called the Heavenly Martial Continent. No one knew exactly how big it was.
The continent is divided into five regions: Dong Huang, Ximok, Nanhai, Beiyuan, and Zhongzhou. The place where Yong Jin is is Dong Huang.
The reason it was called Dong-Hwang was because during the era of the civilization of the ascetics, this place was as uncivilized and desolate as a corner.
The prologue was a desolate desert, the land was vast and there were few people. It was a mysterious area with Gobi Desert everywhere. As for why it was mysterious, Su Mu-heun hesitated for a moment and did not say anything in the end.
The Northern Plains is a very cold place covered in ice and snow, also known as the Northern Icefields. The people of the area have practiced ice farming for generations to survive.
The South Sea was a vast sea area south of the continent. There were many islands spread out like stars, and there were many practitioners.
However, the combined area of all the lands of Dong-Hwang, Seo-Mak, Nam-Hae, and Buk-Won was only one-tenth of the entire continent. The remaining eight-tenths of the land was in the central region.
When mentioning the Zhongzhu, Su Mu-heun made a dreamy expression for a moment, then said that it was the place where true practitioners gathered.
The central part of the Hyeoncheon Dojong was the central region, and it was the biggest supporter of the Hyeoncheon branch. This was the reason why Su Mu-heun was able to remain steadfast, whether he was dealing with the Eun family or the Dantap.
The Hyeoncheondojong that Sumuheun spoke of was nothing more than a branch sect, but even within the branch sect there were thirty-six branches, and under each branch there were one hundred and eight separate branches.
Hearing this, Yongjin was shocked and opened his mouth wide. He had never thought that the world would be this big. If Su Moo-heun had not mentioned it, he would still be a frog in a well.
The Hyeoncheon Dojong that came out of Sumuhun’s mouth is the Bunjongmun (分宗門), and in addition to the head of the sect, the four major families manage thirty-six branch sects together.
Each family manages nine branches, and the one managed by Su Mu-heun is the last of the nine branches, the thirty-sixth branch.
Hearing this, Yongjin smiled bitterly without realizing it. The annex that he had worked so hard to get into was in last place, and when he entered the branch, he was in last place among the branches. What kind of incredible luck was this?
“Yongjin, I’ve wronged you this time. Think about going there and closing down for three months.”
Su Mu-heun said with an apology. She thought that it was because she couldn’t protect Yong-jin that he had a hard time.
“Haha, it’s closed? Sister, you’re so… kind.”
Yongjin almost said she was naive. But that kind of talk didn’t suit his older sister.
“Do you think those fools from the Hwa clan would have pressured Jongmun to send him into exile for just three months?”
“what?”
Su Mu-heun’s expression changed as if he had remembered something.
“I’ve heard of the Chaos Territory. It’s a vast territory with abundant minerals. Each faction, whether it’s the Lord or the Apostle, has its own territory to protect the minerals.
Although the two factions have not reached an agreement, they maintain a balance by preventing the strong ones of the victim class from entering the area. However, there are countless conflicts there, and grave robbery and plundering are frequent. Even between the factions, not to mention the factions and the apostles, there are surprise attacks and plunders.
It is a paradise for thieves and assassins, where there are no rules, and where only fists are used for communication.
If you drive me there, the Hwa clan won’t have to get their hands dirty. The Apostles will rush to kill me, so isn’t that the same as trying to kill me?”
Yongjin said quietly.
Kwajik!
The cup in Sumuheun’s hand broke. Her face was filled with anger.
“You sons of bitches are so vicious!”
At Yongjin’s words, Su Muheun finally realized. This was a trap to force Yongjin into a corner. But, ironically, she thought this was just a facade.
She was ashamed and angry at herself for being so foolish compared to Yongjin, and she felt like crawling into a hole.
“My older sister is weak in strategy because she is focused on training. However, that must be why she has such high skills. Otherwise, her skills would have been lower than Jucheong’s.”
Yongjin said with a smile.
“You’re still smiling at a moment like this, I really admire you. I’m so worried I could die. This can’t be done. I have to talk to my family. This is clearly a trap!”
Sumuhun said.
“It’s not that serious. Doesn’t that chaos territory prohibit the entry of the strong? In that case, the trap would be an opportunity for me.”
It was not a lie that this would be an opportunity. However, it was not Yongjin’s opportunity, but the Dragon Blood Corps’ opportunity. The warriors of the Dragon Blood Corps had a problem, so they had to be baptized through the battlefield. If they trained their foundations that had skyrocketed through life-or-death battles, they would become even stronger.
If they do not thoroughly lay the foundation, Yongjin will not be able to make them take Jincheondan. Practice is like painting, once you start painting, it is difficult to fix it. Furthermore, once a flaw is created, it will remain forever.
“But what if they hire a golden-level assassin to kill you? What if they even send a strong Apostle to kill you? It’s really dangerous.”
Sumuhun said in a low voice.
“The Thousand-Hour Traveler is truly a wonderful thing.”
As soon as Yongjin heard the word ‘Cheonhaengja’, his heart started beating faster. He needed an enemy of the same level as Cheonhaengja.
