Record of the Dragon Chapter 58

Mokyoung's eyes t Eontaejin's.

"Elder Eon, what do you think? Won't you join us?"

However, Eontaejin stealthily avoided his gaze.

"I would like to, but I have to protect the Orthodox Justice Alliance..."

Mokyoung sighed.

However, he did not give up and asked Tang Hwagi and Peng Domyung in turn. However, their reactions were also the sa.

At this point, even Mokyoung, who was rumored to be gentle, was enraged. The mont Mokyoung's face was about to turn red, Seomun Gyeong, who had been quiet until now, suddenly opened his mouth.

"How about this?"

All eyes turned to Seomun Gyeong. Seomun Gyeong, who had succeeded in gathering the attention of the audience, continued with a faint smile.

"In fact, it doesn't make sense for the main forces of the Orthodox Justice Alliance to leave the alliance. It's because we don't know when soone will attack the Orthodox Justice Alliance."

Mokyoung's face contorted. This ti, it wasn't just Mokyoung. Jeongheo and Yang Sosam were also the sa. It was because they thought Seomun Gyeong's words were an excuse.

It was the Orthodox Justice Alliance, a place that no one would dare to attack unless it was the Heavenly Demon Fortress.

But Zhuge Guk had just said that the Heavenly Demon Fortress was showing signs of internal strife.

In such a situation, what crazy bastard would aim for the Orthodox Justice Alliance.

Seomun Gyeong, as if he was also aware of that, smiled awkwardly.

"There's always a one in a million chance, isn't there? If the Orthodox Justice Alliance allows an enemy invasion, the entire righteous martial world will be shaken, so we have to be that careful."

Although it still seed like a poor excuse, Zhuge Guk nodded for now.

It was because no matter what, he just had to find a solution, and Seomun Gyeong seed to have a solution.

"So what is it that Elder Seomun wants to say?"

"It's nothing else, but if Elder Mokyoung, Elder Jeongheo, and Elder Yang are together, there seems to be no problem with the military strength. The problem is the personnel to support them, so how about having the children of the Ascending Dragon Pavilion support them?"

"Yes? What is that..."

Zhuge Guk asked back with a flustered face.

Tang Hwagi, who was watching blankly, also had a startled face. The fire had fallen on his own feet.

"That's ridiculous! You're sending children who haven't even reached the age of twenty! What if so accident happens..."

It wasn't just Tang Hwagi. Jeongheo, Yang Sosam, and Jeoksong also had similar faces.

However, Seomun Gyeong continued with a still good-natured face.

"Hoho. What dangerous thing could happen when Elder Mokyoung, Elder Jeongheo, and Elder Yang are together? At most, it's just a matter of filling the numbers. Besides, wouldn't it be a good opportunity for those children to gain experience in the martial world?"

"What good opportunity! I'm against it! It's too dangerous! I'd rather go myself! I can't allow this!"

Tang Somun was a child who had been designated as the young head of the Tang family. It had already been agreed among the elders of the family that he would be made the young head after the Dragon and Phoenix Inn course was over. It was impossible to push such a child into danger.

As Tang Hwagi desperately opposed, Seomun Gyeong had a troubled face. At that mont, Lee Cheonggang, who had been silent for a while, stepped forward again.

"Elder Seomun's words are right, and Elder Tang's words are also right. This is a difficult situation."

"What's so difficult? It was the adults' business in the first place. The adults' business should be solved by the adults, why are you pushing it onto the children? Let's solve it. Elder Namgung, Elder Peng. Isn't that right?"

Namgung Jinsaeng and Peng Domyung stealthily turned their gazes away. Tang Hwagi, who felt betrayed, his face turned red and his lips trembled. However, Lee Cheonggang's subsequent words stopped Tang Hwagi.

"What's the point of us bickering among ourselves? What do we use to decide on the agenda of the joint eting? It's a majority vote. Let's handle it by a majority vote as per the regulations."

"No, what is that!"

Tang Hwagi's eyes shot open. However, Lee Cheonggang's eyes were only watching Jinsan. It was because the chairman was Jinsan.

Jinsan, who had been contemplating for a long ti with deepened eyes, in the end had no choice but to nod.

"Let's do that."

"Alliance Leader!"

Jinsan looked at Tang Hwagi and sighed.

"What can we do? This is the regulation. Please understand."

"Th-this!"

Tang Hwagi's face turned red. However, Jinsan coldly turned his gaze.

"Those who agree with Elder Seomun's opinion, raise your right hand, and those who oppose, raise your left hand."

Zhuge Guk's face darkened.

The quota for the joint eting was sixteen.

Originally, it was seventeen, but since he was concurrently serving as an elder from the Zhuge family and the strategist, one had been reduced.

But the number of people currently attending the eting was fourteen.

Yoon Choong had returned to Diancang, and Chunmyung of Wudang had not shown his face for so reason.

Among them, the number of people who definitely agreed with Zhuge Guk himself was five, excluding himself. It was a disadvantageous number.

However, an unexpected person raised his left hand.

"Huh?"

"G-Great Master Mokyoung!"

Lee Cheonggang raised his voice. However, Mokyoung pretended not to know. A sense of anticipation began to appear on Zhuge Guk's face. It was because, excluding Jinsan, it was six against seven. And he had thought that Jinsan was on his side.

All eyes turned to Jinsan. At that mont, Jinsan raised his arm.

***

Moyong Gi, who was entering the training room, had a troubled look. It was because an unexpected person was waiting for Moyong Gi.

"Fifty taels of gold."

Namgung Seocheon held out a money pouch with a shaless face.

So Moogyeol, whose body was still swollen because the poison had not completely left, glanced at Namgung Seocheon and said.

"Did you decide to teach him?"

"No."

"Then why is he like this?"

"How would I know that."

There was one thing that ca to mind.

'So the one who was hiding that day was this guy.'

He had wondered who it was, and now the question was solved. However, he had no great emotion. It was because he knew well that nothing big would happen just because soone was watching.

'It's not like I'm going to fight Mount Hua to the death.'

If the rumor spread, Mount Hua would not stay still. There was no reason for him to worry. So his face was crooked.

"Did you eat sothing wrong? Why would I teach you?"

"I clearly heard you say it with your own mouth. Fifty taels of gold. Am I wrong?"

"That was about Unseol. It doesn't apply to you."

In fact, he had no intention of teaching Baek Unseol either. However, he had said it, confident that Johwasim would not agree. And he had done so.

However, Namgung Seocheon, who did not know the circumstances, had a face that said he could not understand.

"Why not ? Wasn't it that you were teaching for money? Then isn't it enough to just receive the money? Or do you need more money? How much is enough? How much is enough."

Namgung Seocheon was desperate. He thought that Moyong Gi was the answer to narrow the gap that had already widened. It was because although he had t many masters in his family and in the Orthodox Justice Alliance, no one had been able to teach him the sa things as Moyong Gi.

However, Moyong Gi just chuckled.

"Does this guy think money is everything? Do you think I'm teaching these kids because I don't have money?"

"Isn't it? Then why did you demand money from Grandmaster Jo? Wasn't it because you needed money?"

"No, it's not. Who does this guy think is a beggar?"

Moyong Gi glared.

So Moogyeol nudged Moyong Gi's arm.

"It's unpleasant to hear that..."

"Shut up. This guy doesn't know when to butt in and when not to."

Moyong Gi and So Moogyeol bickered. Woonhyun, who had been watching silently, finally stepped forward.

"Then you're not going to teach him, right?"

"Of course. Do I look like I have nothing to do?"

There were already six, including Tang Somun. The ti invested in them already took up half of the day. If he took on more here, he would have to give up his personal training. He had no intention of doing that at all.

"Anyway, you're not going to take him."

Woonhyun grinned with a satisfied face. And then, he glared at Namgung Seocheon.

"Hey. Go."

Although he hadn't been able to step in because it was Moyong Gi's business, a grudge still remained.

Then, as the conclusion was about to be reached in the direction he wanted, he thought it was an opportunity.

"It's not your place to step in. I'm with Moyong Gi..."

"He said he doesn't want to, you bastard. Didn't you hear him? Are your earholes blocked? Should I open them for you?"

Woonhyun threatened Namgung Seocheon, grabbing the hilt of his sword. Moyong Gi nudged So Moogyeol with his elbow.

"Why is he like that?"

"He tried to cut off his arm."

So Moogyeol gestured with his chin at Namgung Seocheon and Woonhyun in turn. Moyong Gi asked again with a flustered face.

"Who cut off whose arm? Isn't it the other way around?"

"No, it's not. He said he was him."

It was still Namgung Seocheon, then Woonhyun. Moyong Gi let out a hollow laugh. Woonhyun got angry and shot a look at So Moogyeol.

"You bastard! Won't you shut your mouth?"

However, it was Moyong Gi who answered. Moyong Gi looked at Woonhyun with a pathetic face.

"Where are you shouting? You're a guy who gets beaten by Namgung Seocheon."

At those words, Namgung Seocheon's eyebrows twitched as if he was displeased. However, Woonhyun's face contorted.

"I wasn't beaten! And it was three against one!"

"Whether it's three against one or four against one! How much have you learned from , and you get beaten by him? And you're still making excuses?"

"So I wasn't beaten!"

And then, he turned to Namgung Seocheon.

"You bastard! Aren't you going to get lost quickly?"

Namgung Seocheon's face contorted.

"It's not your place to interfere. I'm with that guy... hup!"

Namgung Seocheon urgently crossed his arms. It was because Woonhyun's foot had been planted squarely.

Thwack!

"Gasp!"

Namgung Seocheon was pushed back. Although it wasn't a strong force, his arm throbbed because he had blocked it in a hurry.

"I said get lost, you bastard. Can't you hear ?"

Moyong Gi sighed and called So Moogyeol again.

"Hey, you send him out."

"Why are you making

do it? Am I an easy target?"

"Then who should I make do it? Woonhyun? They'll have a big fight at this rate. Tang Somun? He's weak, so he can't do it yet."

He didn't even ntion Myung Jin. So Moogyeol had no complaints about that part. Instead, he brought up another part.

"Then make Youngyoung or Yeon do it. Why are you leaving them alone?"

"Do you want to make girls do sothing like this?"

"What girls. They're girls who can beat a cow with their bare hands."

"Shut up. Aren't you going to do it quickly?"

So Moogyeol's face contorted. However, as if he had no more strength to resist, he blocked Woonhyun's front.

"Hey, let's go out."

"I have sothing to say to Moyong Gi."

So Moogyeol, without even replying, grabbed Namgung Seocheon's arm. Namgung Seocheon looked at So Moogyeol with a flustered face.

"Huh?"

It was because his acupoint had been hit. He had given up his acupoint without even having a chance to resist.

"I said let's go out."

And then, without even being able to use his strength, he was dragged out as So Moogyeol pulled him. And after a little while, when they reached the main gate of the Guardian Pavilion, So Moogyeol finally let go of Namgung Seocheon's acupoint.

Namgung Seocheon raised his voice.

"You bastard! What is this!"

However, So Moogyeol, without even pretending to listen, looked around.

So Moogyeol, who had confird that there was no one, poked Namgung Seocheon's side with a suggestive face.

Namgung Seocheon flinched and his face contorted.

"What are you doing?"

"What do you an, what am I doing? I'm fine with just five taels of gold..."
