Chapter 123 – Actually, My Master (5)
After enjoying sex with Danghye-won to our heart’s content until sunset, I returned to the Dangga.
We had already eaten dinner with Danghye-won, and now all that was left was to wash up and sleep…
The night time became ambiguous.
My mother was in the early stages of pregnancy, and even though I protected her with my power, I felt a strange reluctance to have physical contact before revealing the truth.
“To be frank, my master is no different from a criminal.”
It’s not necessary to reveal everything. For example, there’s no need to reveal that I’m not from this world but from another.
It may be revealed someday, but it’s not a big deal if it’s not revealed. No one will be harmed.
However, I can’t just let it go and become irreversible when I’m later known as a disciple of the Blood Demon.
I will do whatever it takes to keep him in check. But the right thing to do is to know everything before making a choice.
“Son…?”
My mother was outside the quarters. She probably knew I would be back around this time.
“Did you have dinner?”
“Yeah, I did.”
I walked a short distance towards my mother and the quarters. My mother talked a lot about Gwak Cheong-ra, whom she had been dealing with all day.
“You seem to enjoy talking a lot… don’t you?”
I awkwardly laughed and listened to her story, having left her to doze off to meet Danghye-won for the first time in a while.
Soon, I arrived at my quarters and was about to open the door when I realized my mother was standing right behind me.
“Mother…?”
“It’s just that, um, son? It’s not that your mother has any other thoughts…”
My mother couldn’t meet my eyes and fidgeted before burying her head in my chest.
“Really, what am I supposed to do… all because of my son…!”
My mother obviously knew I was going to visit her last night.
She seemed to be at a loss because I had made her have sex with me and suddenly stopped.
“Mother, can you wait just one more day? We have something to talk about tomorrow, all four of us.”
At the word “four,” my mother quickly caught on and her expression became serious.
“The story you told me last time?”
When Geom-seong appeared, I had decided to explain why it would be difficult to travel with him.
As I nodded my head, my mother looked disappointed and walked away from my quarters.
“I hope you don’t make her wait too long. Do you understand?”
“…Yes, I understand.”
I silently apologized to my mother as she walked away.

“…Yes, I understand.”
I silently apologized to my mother as she walked away.
However, after spending time with Danghye-won and my mother, I had to face the reality of revealing the truth to them.
But how could I explain it to them in a way that they would understand?
After a day had passed, my mother, Paeng Yeon-hwa, and I each left our quarters. It was fine to go out together, but our destination was the secret place of Danghye-won.
We gathered in one place without attracting attention, and thanks to the hired employees, we were able to talk freely.
“Your child has grown so much…”
“Yes, sister…”
Although all the women had experienced pregnancy, they chatted like unmarried virgins while admiring Danghye-won’s swollen belly.
I hope this sight will continue even after the explanation…
In the lull after the conversation ended, I slowly opened my mouth.
“The reason I called you all here is…”
I started to explain hesitantly. First, I talked about my background.
The story of those who trained their bodies in ancient times, made medicine, and intersected with reason. They aimed to become a god by shedding their physical bodies and becoming a fresh spirit.
And those who intersected with reason were persecuted by two other groups.
Everyone knew that the story about the third group was about my background, and they listened intently, holding their breath.
In a way, it was a story that could be called the history of the Seokcheonmun.
“So they combined martial arts and intersected with reason, and it has been passed down from generation to generation.”
It might be a fascinating story for those who inherited the legacy of the winners who received the legacy of the losers who were persecuted by the two groups.
“I see… so it’s like a Seokgong, then?”
Paeng Yeon-hwa tilted her head.
Generally, Seokgong is not a hierarchical system like the Dangga, but rather a system that steals the internal power accumulated by others. So maybe she hadn’t thought of it as Seokgong until now.
“Yes, that’s right. Now…”
Danghye-won looked at me with a worried expression. Ah, HemingChapter 123 – Actually, My Master (5)
After indulging in sex with Danghye-won until sunset, I returned to the Dangga.

The night became hazy.

“Yes, that’s right. Now…”
Danghye-won looked at me with a worried expression. Ah, Heming.
Based on my martial arts training, I’ve included interactions with women, and explained that I’ve never used it for evil deeds, despite reaching my current level of skill.
“Son…”
My mother gently stroked my head after hearing my explanation.
Through her touch, I knew that my mother understood my explanation.
“So, in the end, you were a disciple of the Blood Demon.”
However, Paeng Yeon-hwa seemed to disagree, her voice tense.
I flinched at her words, intending to respond to my mother’s voice.
“Yes… that’s right. I’m really sorry…”
“You don’t have to apologize to me. It’s just… ugh…”
Paeng Yeon-hwa sighed, seeming frustrated and unable to articulate her thoughts.
Paeng Yeon-hwa, with her naive personality, probably thought of all the wrongs committed by the Shaolin and the victims of those wrongs, as well as the way it was being discussed by the saints.
To Paeng Yeon-hwa, I probably looked like the successor to a mafia group, so there was nothing she could do about it.
My mother and Tang Hye-won, who had approached us in the meantime, were holding my hand carefully, and Paeng Yeon-hwa sighed again at the sight.
“Is that all you have to say?”
“…Yes.”
“Thank you for not giving me more headaches.”
That was the end of my conversation with Paeng Yeon-hwa.
Paeng Yeon-hwa’s expression remained dark, and it didn’t change until I saw her for the last time that day.
Two more days had passed since I revealed that I was not a disciple of the deceased Eun Geou-go-in, but rather the worst disciple of the earthly Dae-madu.
I wanted us to end things amicably and enjoy the night together, but Paeng Yeon-hwa didn’t seem to want that.
“Gamogae said today that he’s a little…”
The security guard, who had become familiar with my face as I entered and left the training hall, seemed to be apologizing for refusing my visit.
Officially, he was busy with both training and gamo, but who would believe that?
“Haah…”
Of course, if I didn’t want to have sex, it would be a lie, but being rejected like this hurt more.
I had hidden my own faults and used the existence of a master to exploit our sexual relationship, but…
Still, I wasn’t kicked out right away, so it seemed like I needed to sort out my thoughts. Once I did, maybe we could come to a good conclusion?
‘I hope things end well.’
I wandered around Paeng Yeon-hwa’s neighborhood and retreated, noticing someone with short hair walking towards me from afar. Of course, it was Mong-a.
“Son, what are you doing here?”
“I have some business to attend to with Paeng Yeon-hwa…”
“Ah, this is where Gamo is located.”
Usually, guests who came to see Sae-ga would greet the head of the household rather than Gamo, so Mong-a had never visited Gamo’s residence before.
“Shall I guide you?”
“It’s okay, I’ll be leaving soon. What would I do by meeting her now?”
“Are you leaving?”
He had been here for quite some time, even though he was just passing through. He had stayed for almost four days.
I had mainly dealt with them because I thought my head would explode if I dealt with my own problems. My mother and Tang Hye-won had approached me carefully, and Paeng Yeon-hwa’s expression remained dark until I saw her for the last time that day.
“I have other things to do.”
He was going to wander around again? I groaned. The image of being attacked by unknown people came to mind.
“…Just stay in Amisan. When I saw you wandering around, it was a nuisance to many people…”
“That’s none of your business.”
In the first place, Kwak Cheong-ra was not even a companion of Mong-a. She just helped Mong-a because she had a broad sense of humor.
Once he returned to the Jeomchangpa in Unnam, Mong-a would be alone again.
“Are you okay? Even last time, those guys…”
“I can handle it myself!”
When I mentioned the masked men who had cornered the two of them in a chariot battle, Mong-a interrupted me with a confident voice.
No, if it’s okay, just say it’s okay. Why get angry and make a fuss?
“Um… I also agree with Son, but…”
When I gave up on Mong-a and met Kwak Cheong-ra, a common sense reaction came back.
Kwak Cheong-ra also seemed to have a hard time understanding Mong-a’s behavior, which refused to interfere.
“What will you do from now on, Kwak Yeohyeop?”
“Me? I’ve already come to Sachon, so I have to go back to the main force, right? I’ve rested enough here, so I have to go back before my husband and son get worried.”
Despite that, she seemed to have actively toured Dangga and Sachon.
Anyway, the two of them were now going in completely opposite directions, so it seemed difficult for them to travel together.
‘Should I follow them?’
Leaving Dangga empty for a while was actually good for me too.
As I continued to wander around, Paeng Yeon-hwa couldn’t sort out her thoughts about me because I was always by her side.
Wouldn’t it be better to go somewhere where she couldn’t see me for a while?
“…So, did you call me to teach you how to hide?”
“Who else can a disciple rely on in times like this, other than the master?”
Master had a Doraemon-like expression as he looked at Jin-gu, who had come after being beaten by Tung-tung.
No, am I seeing Master as Doraemon because I feel that way?
“If you follow honestly, he’ll notice and chase you away.”
There’s something about Mong-a that he can’t tell others.
No matter how much I think about it, it doesn’t make sense that there are people targeting Mong-a everywhere he goes just because he beat up someone and walked around.
“What am I doing with my nose in other people’s business…”
Master frowned, lost in thought, not knowing if he knew what I was thinking.
“There are a few things I can teach you. But you can never become a true master by relying on these tricks…”
Even though Master taught me how to hide, he didn’t teach me in a straightforward manner. The hiding technique he taught me was a real hiding technique, mixed with preaching.
It was a hiding technique that learned how to hide using terrain and features, blocking the exposure of momentum.
It was a simple hiding technique that could be used easily if you knew the tricks, so I couldn’t honestly say how much it would help…
Let’s leave Dangga for a while. That was the only thing on my mind.
