Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Chapter 196

Episode 196. Unpleasant Seed (2)

So Yeon-sim refused to go back, saying that she had work to do.

Seo-ryang sat in the training hall, lost in thought.

‘I’m not sure. But there’s no way such a sensitive rumor would come out of nowhere.’

This is a rumor that broke out after Seo-ryang returned to school, as if he had been waiting for it. And that too after just one night.

It takes some time for such rumors to creep in. But isn’t it too elaborate?

‘If someone had encouraged it, I would have prepared in advance.’

And there are only five people in Protestantism who can make such preparations and who have reason to do so.

‘All candidates except me.’

Of course, the probability that it is Jin Gwan-yong or Guan Pyeong is very high. However, he did not rule out the possibility of another successor.

People never know when or how things will change. I have seen many cases where people whom we trusted suddenly betray us.

‘But I’m a little puzzled. I don’t know what they’re trying to do, but this method has many risk factors.’

What if Seo-ryang kills Chae Yeo-min as rumored?

The demons have no choice but to remain silent in the fight between the gods. However, the eyes of the demons who view Seoliang will not be so kind. Even though it was the headquarters of the vicious martial arts martial arts group, Chae Yeo-min was still too young.

There was also a reason why the Ma people’s favorability towards Hongwimun was at its lowest. Although there was no physical evidence, the demons knew that he was targeting the death penalty with a petty strategy.

However, as Soyeonsim said, it is not a big problem. What does age have to do with selecting a representative for Pasun who will usher in a new era? Public opinion is just public opinion and cannot be a decisive move to turn the game around.

‘I will receive unfavorable attention. But that’s it. On the other hand, what if the identity of the person who leaked this rumor is revealed?’

There is a limit to not using human standards, and the backlash that will blow at that time will be beyond imagination. Although there will be no controversy over the quality of the successor, it is clear that the majority of demons will turn their backs on him.

Cruelty can be accepted, but pettiness is difficult to accept. At least it’s not something God would do.

Xu Liang shrugged his shoulders.

“Nothing is certain at the moment. “Even if I think about it, I won’t find an answer.”

Seoryang got up from his seat and suddenly felt the strong sunlight.

“It’s already dawn.”

He seemed to have been deeply concerned. So much so that I forget the passage of time.

“hello.”

Yeo Sang-rin walked from one side. Unlike yesterday, her appearance in clean white clothes was so beautiful that it was eye-popping.

Xu Liang nodded.

“Did you sleep well?”

“yes.”

Yeo Sang-rin’s face looked very refreshed. He was a bit nervous on the first day, but after talking to Seoryang about various things, he seemed to have regained his usual cheerfulness.

‘Well, back then, you probably had a double insult to the beast palace lord, right?’

I don’t really remember because it was such a tense situation, but I think they were acting like two bastards and all. Looking at that, this guy’s temperament is also not normal.

“By the way, you really like white things.”

“yes?”

“The skin is white and the clothes are white. “Since you eat so much, I will call you Baekban from now on.”

Yeo Sang-rin pouted her lips.

“Other people are eating less.”

“Even when I was growing up, I couldn’t eat like you. “It’s safe to say that you are the best candidate in the world, just based on your disguise.”

I don’t know where all that food went on that slim body. Perhaps this guy’s greatest ability may be its digestive power, which allows it to digest even stones.

“I was going to come out earlier, but I thought you were talking about something important, so I waited. “Are you a high person?”

“Oh, Hwanhee Wonju is the person in charge of the school’s housekeeping.”

“At first glance, you looked very beautiful.”

Xu Liang grumbled.

“He’s just one character. “It’s a problem because he’s a fox wearing human clothing.”

“A fox to a person.”

“There are white spots on the icicles, but it’s about the size of a fox.”

He said as he walked into the kitchen.

“Hang in there. “I’ll prepare a meal for you.”

Yeo Sang-rin was embarrassed.

“Oh, even if I do….”

“I’m not the kind of person who is rude enough to ask a guest to cook dinner.”

Xu Liang’s eyes lit up.

‘I guess I’ll have to get the kids moving first.’

* * *

“Commander General.”

“What’s going on?”

“The Three Princes have come to visit.”

Hu Yaosheng smiled.

“You noticed so openly, but it took a day for you to come. Please take it quickly.”

After a while, Seo-ryang came into the office.

Hu Yao-seong stood up with joy.

“Are you here?”

“yes.”

Xi Liang looked around and said.

“This is the first time I’ve seen the office look so brutal.”

Hu Yao-seong’s office was a complete mess, filled with countless documents and unorganized books.

“Do you know that it is order within chaos?”

“I don’t know what it is, but I don’t really want to know.”

“From the perspective of a small person, it may seem chaotic, but from the perspective of a large person, it will look quite systematic.”

“Of all the nonsense I’ve heard recently, this is by far the best.”

“Kyahaha!”

Hu Yaosheng made a fuss and guided Xu Liang to a chair.

“You came back after eating, right? Would you like some tea?”

“As long as it’s not an excavator truck, that’s fine.”

“You have a wicked sense of humor.”

“There was a scent in the office. “I still don’t know why I drink that weird tea.”

“It’s quite addictive.”

After a while, Hu Yao-seong, who was grumbling, brought out Byeok La-chun.

After taking a sip of tea, Seo-ryang asked directly.

“So, why did you notice it so openly?”

“What? Are you going straight to the point?”

“Can you steal the time of the Commander-in-Chief, who is busy with construction, with a joke?”

Hu Yaosheng smiled.

“Are you sure you don’t want to take up my time? Or are you just feeling hot?”

Xu Liang grinned.

“Have you heard the rumor?”

“Of course I will. “I also heard that the carriage of the former So Wonju was headed to Confucius’ residence.”

“You really know all the things that happen on campus.”

“And in real time.”

“You’ve come to the right place.”

Ho Yo-seong tilted his head as if he was amused.

“Are you curious about who the instigator of the rumor is?”

“Aren’t you curious then? “Who are you?”

“I don’t know what you expected, but I can’t tell you.”

“why?”

“Because I also have to remain neutral.”

Xu Liang chuckled and turned his wrist. In an instant, the air in the office became muggy.

“So you know.”

Hu Yaosheng spoke calmly and weakly.

“Of course. The secret shrine is under my command. “It’s harder not to know.”

“Do you want to remain neutral?”

“That’s right. It has to be that way…”

Hu Yaosheng glanced at Xu Liang’s hand. It felt like that big hand was going to grab his neck at any moment.

“Are you going to cause an accident if I don’t tell you?”

“I’m thinking about it.”

“You have improved a lot. “If it were in the past, you would have used your hands first.”

Hu Yao-sheng’s eyes lit up.

“It seems like you changed your mind after the inspection, right?”

It’s definitely a ghost that has noticed.

Xu Liang clearly admitted.

“I put everything aside, stayed in a quiet place, and tried to pursue the path of inaction and nature. “At that time.”

“What now?”

“I plan to kill them all and become the owner of this complicated place. “For now.”

Ho Yaoseong’s smile deepened.

“Are you trying to destroy the Uicheon Alliance?”

“Did you hear from the leader?”

“You are not the one who would say such things. “I was just trying to piece together the circumstances and the three princes’ suddenly changed words and actions.”

Seo-ryang shook his head without realizing it.

This is why smart people are scary. It was the same for Hao Wen’s small lord Gong Ya-chi, but Hu Yao-sheng was also a person with as much intellect as anyone else, so he figured out Xiliang’s purpose with only a little bit of information and situation.

“So are you going to keep your mouth shut?”

“yes.”

After thinking for a moment, Seo-ryang nodded.

“There’s nothing we can do.”

A ray of tension appeared on Ho Yaoseong’s once smiling face. Although I have some insight into Seoliang, I still don’t know where this bomb-like person will end up.

How will it come out? How will this young tiger, who is willing to use any means to achieve his goal, move forward?

“I enjoyed my tea.”

“uh? Are you going already?”

“I stopped by because I wanted something, but I can’t give it to you. Is there any reason to stay?”

Hu Yaosheng was at a loss for words for a moment.

Still, I am a total gunman… I am a power that is said to be the power of all people, whether it is work or not…

“I haven’t even brought up my story yet.”

Xu Liang waved his hand as if he was annoyed.

“I’m busy.”

“Even if you are busy, please give us a little time.”

“Tell me who started the rumor and I’ll think about it.”

“What’s the deal?”

“You’re done with the puns, right? going.”

Seoyang got up and immediately turned around. I was really ready to go.

Hu Yaosheng scratched his head and said.

“If you are thinking of going to the Archduke or the Prince’s residence and causing trouble, it would be better for you to quit.”

Xi Liang glanced at Hu Yaocheng.

Ho Yo-seong’s face became serious as he asked why.

“I don’t know if you’ve heard, but the Archduke is not an easy person. “If you blindly go straight like you did during the time of Sangongzi, you may fall off the cliff.”

“I take the advice to heart.”

“You should listen more.”

“I’ll listen to you later.”

Hu Yaosheng sighed.

“Why are you being so reckless? If it’s always like this, one day you’ll have a big problem. “You probably don’t know that.”

Xi Liang, who had been keeping an eye on Hu Yao-seong, suddenly took control.

“Although we are not close friends, I am always grateful to Mr. Ho.”

“…to?”

“Please continue to dedicate yourself to our school. “It is a blessing to me that Mr. Ho is devoted to our school.”

…Why is this happening all of a sudden?

Xu Liang smiled.

“Let’s end today’s conversation with this. I will come back in three days. “A proper hoepo is served with a drink.”

Hu Yaosheng frowned.

‘what? ‘Why is this person acting like this all of a sudden?’

The sudden change left even the world’s greatest hero speechless.

So, Seo-ryang left the office. Ho Yo-seong’s face, left alone in the office with the sweet scent of tea, looked very confused.

“Are you devoted to your school? “Is that something to be thankful for?”

Come back in three days? Why on earth did they emphasize three days?

Ho Yo-seong, who was trying to collect his thoughts while drinking tea, dropped his tea cup as a sudden thought occurred to him.

Jaeaeang!

The teacup fell and broke with a loud noise, but Ho Yaoseong didn’t even notice it.

“…That gentleman?!”

* * *

“Oh brother?!”

“It’s been a while.”

Seo-ryang smiled and stroked Chae Yeo-min’s head.

Chae Yeo-min’s face became very flushed. I haven’t heard yet that Seo-ryang returned to school.

“When did you come?”

“It came yesterday.”

“I see.”

Chae Yeo-min smiled.

The youngest I saw after a long time was still cute. So much so that I want to pull the ball.

“How was Yunnan? “I heard it’s much hotter than here.”

Xu Liang shook his head.

“Don’t say anything. It was very hot and it was raining heavily. “I don’t think Yeo-min realizes how hard she worked.”

“wow.”

Although she had genius talent, she still had little experience in the world. For Chae Yeo-min, who had never been to a Protestant church since joining the church, the story at the bottom of the mountain was more interesting than anything else.

Seoryang, who was smiling at Chae Yeo-min, glanced to the side.

A maid who appeared to be in her mid-thirties was standing there with a nervous look on her face. It seemed like she was the maid named Sodang that Chae Yeo-min had mentioned in the past.

“Are you busy by any chance?”

“yes? Oh no! Morning training is over! “I’m not busy!”

“okay? “Then, do you want to go out for a drink with this brother?”

Chae Yeo-min’s face brightened.

“yes! yes!”

Sodang’s eyebrows twitched.

Was it urgent? She suddenly took a step forward and bowed her head.

“Excuse me, Princess, but in the afternoon, I will study Caesarea…”

“Hey.”

Xu Liang frowned.

“What happens if you don’t learn Caesareanology for a day? “Why are you holding on to a child like that?”

“I’m sorry, but the princess’s daily routine must be observed. It has been that way and it always will be that way. “It is not something that even the Three Dukes should be involved in.”

It was quite a bold tone.

Seo-ryang felt deep concern and sharp tension in her voice.

‘I heard a rumor.’

The way she spoke was a bit harsh to just listen to, but at the same time, I could tell how much she cared about Chae Yeo-min.

Xu Liang chuckled.

“I am not involved in women’s education right now.”

“Enough…”

“So, don’t get involved in the conversation between the executioners.”

“yes?”

“Where did you learn the habit of interrupting conversations with superiors? “Did Hwanhee Wonju teach you that?”

Sodang felt speechless.

But I couldn’t back out of here. If the rumors were true, the princess was now in an incredibly dangerous situation.

“I just…”

“It’s not like I don’t understand. Dongpil sometimes crosses the line too.”

Seo-ryang said to Chae Yeo-min.

“Shall we take a short walk and then go see my eldest brother?”

“Are you my eldest brother?”

“okay.”

Chae Yeo-min’s smile became brighter.

“great!”

Seoliang grinned while looking at Sodang.

“Do you think you have to learn kingship from a book to use it?”

“…!”

“If you’re worried, follow me too. “Let me see and feel for myself how to teach Yeomin in the future.”

“yes yes?!”

There was no way to stop it. Before I knew it, Seo-ryang was lifting Chae Yeo-min and holding her in his arms. It was like holding a niece.

Seo-ryang’s eyes sparkled.

“Life is real.”
