“This is the contents of the special inspector’s inspections that have been uploaded to date.”

Lee Cheon-sang nodded.

Ho Yo-seong spoke briefly.

“If you do that, I’ll just leave…”

“What do you think?”

“yes?”

“I’m asking what it would be like from the perspective of the general military to handle the third matter.”

Hu Yaosheng scratched his head.

“Hmm… honestly, I did well.”

“is it.”

“yes. Although it was a bit extreme, the results exceeded expectations. Aren’t the leaders of the Seven Families all dragons and tigers who are difficult to find opponents? “The inspector’s martial arts skills are strong, but if they were dealt with simply by force, they would not have been able to produce results of this level.”

Lee Cheon-sang nodded again. It was difficult to figure out whether he agreed with what Hu Yao-sheng said or whether it was just a habit.

“Now that you’ve asked, I’m telling you, I was particularly surprised that they took the troops of the Geogyeong family and sent Tuwanga to prison.”

“I guess so.”

“yes. The order to enshrine Tuwanga was not an easy one. In fact, we were planning to push hard on our side under the pretext of opposing Bongmun.”

Hu Yaosheng’s eyes suddenly became serious.

“Gaju Geogyeong is by no means an easy person. He is a person who is difficult to suppress through force or persuasion. By persuading such a person, he put pressure on Tuwanga… He deserves at least praise for this.”

“When I heard it, didn’t you say that Geogyeong Gaju actually didn’t do much in Tuwanga?”

“yes. However, the fact that Geogyeong Gaju was brought in was a great performance in itself. “If you weren’t with Geokyung Gaju, the probability that Tuwang Gaju would rebel would increase significantly.”

After emptying his glass, Lee Cheon-sang buried his back in Taesa’s chair with a languid motion.

“It means that he is not only excellent in martial arts but also in wit.”

Ho Yaoseong smiled.

“yes. “I knew, but I didn’t know it would be to this extent.”

“But it seems like you don’t just think of the third child as a good talent.”

Ho Yo-seong, who was smiling, sighed deeply.

“Yes, of course.”

“Do you think it’s dangerous?”

“Very much.”

“The reason is?”

“Because I don’t see a purpose.”

Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes sparkled.

“Purpose?”

“yes. Countless demons have been sent to this mission. There were some who succeeded and some who failed. Reading their reports gives a sense of purpose, whether the mission is successful or not.”

“….”

“A person who moves only for the success of the mission. A person who does not like the mission. “Everyone has their own purpose, such as those who value survival over the mission, and those who want to take care of their own interests during the mission.”

“You mean the third one can’t see it?”

“That’s right. To be precise….”

Ho Yo-seong sighed.

“I can’t figure it out.”

It must have been frustrating. Even to me, who is said to be the best Protestant brain of his time, he is a person whose true nature is difficult to grasp.

‘Maybe it’s natural.’

Didn’t the religious leader also say this? They say they don’t know for sure the true nature of the Three Confucius.

He is a person who cannot even see through the devil who sits on the throne of the sky and looks down on the world. If you are a person who avoids the divine eye, it is natural for you not to be caught by human wisdom.

Lee Cheon-sang shook his head.

“That’s not true.”

“yes?”

“The fact that you can’t figure it out just means you’re valuing him more highly than necessary.”

Ugh.

As soon as it was poured, the glass full of alcohol floated and was placed in Lee Cheon-sang’s hand.

“He finally made up his mind.”

“yes?”

“There’s no way I would have moved so actively if I hadn’t done that.”

“What do you mean?”

“You know, right? “Even before the inspection, he was acting out of character.”

Hu Yaosheng nodded.

It was an undeniable fact. Although the Three Dukes were more amazing demons than anyone else, they did not blend in well with Protestantism.

Because I have amnesia? Because it has become so powerful that it destroys common sense?

Not like that.

The Three Confucius felt awkward in the environment of Protestantism itself. Although he was extremely informal with people he was close friends with, he was a person who kept a thorough distance from people he was not familiar with.

“Because I did not properly integrate into the main school, I showed words and actions that were uncharacteristic of a magician and was immersed in thoughts that were uncharacteristic of a magician. “If you weren’t my disciple, you would be rotting in prison by now.”

“But even if they merge into our school, I don’t think the Three Princes’ words and actions will change much.”

“that’s right. “The question is, where are the eyes of the guy who kept an eye on the outside world of Shinkyo now?”

Hu Yaosheng, who was licking his lips, suddenly asked.

“What exactly did you mean?”

“I don’t know that. “I can only infer that the guy who was a slouch at our school is now planning to show off.”

“Just as I received the report and looked into the objectives of the missionaries, the leader was also looking into the eyes of the Three Confucius.”

“That’s right.”

Although he said it was an analogy, he was clearly convinced.

“Did you say that the inspection of the Seven Families is over?”

“That’s right. “I finished the inspection at the Demon Sword House.”

“Any information about your return?”

Ho Yaoseong quenched his appetite.

“Now that it’s over, I’ll be back right away. In fact, there was no mention in the report when he would return.”

A faint smile appeared on Lee Cheon-sang’s lips.

“is it?”

“Hmm? Seeing the leader make that expression, it looks like something is going to happen.”

“….”

“My words were a bit frivolous, weren’t they? sorry. “I was so dizzy because of the Three Dukes…”

“Did you say they have stopped moving now?”

It was a random question, but Ho Yo-seong understood it perfectly.

“yes. “It’s in the southwestern part of Honam and has stayed in place for 10 days.”

“We’ll be moving soon.”

“I guess so.”

Ho Yaoseong sighed heavily. It was a sigh of relief, not frustration.

“Still, it’s fortunate for the three princes. “I must have been exhausted from the journey, but I didn’t have to run into them needlessly.”

“….”

“Actually, I was very worried. I thought that even if I ran into those guys, it could be dangerous, no matter how much I was a third-rate person. The work is done, so now if you just come back….”

“….”

“….”

“….”

“…Then that’s okay.”

Hu Yao-sheng’s face hardened.

“Religion leader?”

Lee Cheon-sang shook his head.

“I don’t know either.”

Ho Yo-seong jumped up from his seat.

“I will send it as payment. Take a detour and return to school. “There is no need to clash with them when all inspections of the Seven Families have already been completed.”

“Leave it alone.”

Ho Yaoseong flinched at the unexpected words.

Lee Cheon-sang filled his glass again and spoke calmly.

“If we meet, we will fight, and if our paths diverge, we will return without incident.”

“Master. “The three gongjas are currently in the status of inspector general.”

“Is there a problem?”

“It’s a big problem. Isn’t the position of Inspector General symbolic of acting on behalf of the religious leader? If the current Three Dukes collide with that side… a war could break out.”

Lee Cheon-sang smiled faintly.

Ho Yo-seong looked at him quietly and sighed.

“You want that in the first place.”

“I don’t really want it. But if it’s fate, I just don’t want to avoid it.”

Hu Yaosheng was surprised. This is because I had no idea that Lee Cheon-sang would use the word fate.

‘But, sir. ‘Isn’t that not fate but simple neglect?’

Hu Yaosheng was lost in thought for a moment and lowered his head.

“I will activate the penal party leader’s right to permit expulsion.”

“Permission for expulsion is the authority of the military department. “Do as you wish.”

Hu Yaosheng felt it again. This is why Lee Cheon-sang is scary.

Even though he knows the reason for excommunicating the head of the criminal code, he tells him to do whatever he wants. Even though I know it’s a direct challenge to ‘fate’, I don’t care at all.

“I’ll just leave now.”

“I know.”

That’s how Ho Yo-seong left Daejeon.

The smile on Lee Cheon-sang’s face disappeared as he emptied his glass.

“It’s still not enough.”

A monologue whose meaning is unknown.

“But that’s why I trust you.”

An illusion of the devil passed over Lee Cheon-sang’s face as he poured the cup again.

“Don’t be afraid of the consequences, soldier Ho.”

* * *

“Whew! “It’s finally over.”

Wei Hongryun’s face was especially bright, as if she felt relieved inside.

“There were a few things that happened, but fortunately I finished it well. Thank you for your hard work, Confucius.”

Seo-ryang chuckled.

“After hearing all those things from you, I’m sure it’s good to have a weak shot.”

“Hey, you’re doing that again. I’m not saying that to offend people. “I said it from the heart. From the bottom of my heart.”

“know. “You had a hard time too.”

“Haha!”

As I listened to the louder laughter than any other leader, I began to wonder if this guy was really a woman.

“Dongpil also had a hard time.”

“No, Confucius.”

Ma Dong-pil was still polite. Thinking about the past years, it would be easy to relax a little, but it doesn’t show that way at all.

“But Confucius.”

“ok?”

“Well… what are you going to do with the hostage you took at Jeoksaga? “Some measures have been taken, but if we leave it for a few more days, it will become dangerous due to high fever.”

He meant that it would be better to kill him than to leave him as is, and that if he was planning to take him to Protestantism, it would be better to give him proper treatment now.

Seo-ryang turned his head to the window without saying a word.

The carriage was fast, and the scenes that disappeared as quickly as possible were like dangerous lanterns.

His face became increasingly serious.

‘It’s hard to make up your mind properly.’

Now that I have realized the path I must take and what I must do for true freedom.

I knew how to get out, but I didn’t have time to think about it in detail. In other words, I ran without a plan until now.

‘First of all, one thing is certain.’

Xu Liang’s eyes flashed sharply.

‘You must become the successor.’

I have no intention of becoming a religious leader. But he has to be the successor.

In the end, you may think that it is the same thing, but from Seo-ryang’s perspective, it was a completely different problem.

If you become a successor, your voice within the school will become incomparably stronger than it is now. From then on, he begins succession classes to become the next leader of the church and is given the authority to actually control the religious forces.

‘There is no need to become a religious leader. No, on the contrary, if you sit in the position of a religious leader, there may be restrictions.’

Lee Cheon-sang’s remarks rang in my ears.

– I am a person. Although he is human, he is called a god. In that case, I too have no choice but to strive to acquire the appearance of a god.

The leader is God. Because he is a god, he can do everything, but there are also certain qualities that a god must have.

Lee Cheon-sang is, without a doubt, the best person in the world. Even he was still trying to become a god.

A person who reigns over ten thousand demons but does not rule them.

Seoliang thought that the position did not suit him. It was a problem on a completely different level from becoming a successor.

Xiliang shook his head.

‘It’s too far away. ‘Right now, it’s too much to think about what I should do right now.’

then?

“…I guess I should stop by Jeoksa Temple first.”

Ma Dong-pil and Wei Hong-ryeon looked at Seoliang with puzzled eyes.

“Hongryeon.”

“yes? Ah yes!”

“Start by the branch and treat the sinner. And when the treatment is over, please go to Shingyo first.”

“What about Confucius?”

“Me and Dongpil have a place we need to stop by. “I asked the Geogyeong family to do it for you, so it won’t be dangerous.”

“Where are you going?”

“Jeoksa.”

“to?!”

Xu Liang stood up. The carriage was so large that even when Seo-ryang stood up, his head could not touch the ceiling.

He tapped Wei Hongryun on the shoulder.

“Thank you for accepting my offer. “The real mess will wait until I get back.”

Seo-ryang said to Ma Dong-pil.

“let’s go.”

Shake! Wow!

There was no time to stop him. As soon as he opened the door, he ran out, and before he knew it, only the inspector’s epaulette was left where he left.

Ma Dong-pil also immediately followed him.

Wei Hongryun shouted.

“Confucius!!”

Before we knew it, Seoryang, Ma Dong-pil, and Geumho were disappearing into the distance.
