The Youngest Member Chapter 76

"Aaaah-!"

The Black Tortoise Unit mbers, startled by the scream that echoed throughout the Black Tortoise Pavilion, moved in a flurry.

The door to the room where Cheon Woojin and Zhuge Lin were was rattling as if it would open at any mont.

Cheon Woojin, with his hand on Zhuge Lin's back, stretched out his other hand and blocked the door with the mystery of Void Object Manipulation. Even though five or six strong n were straining, the door did not budge.

In the anti, Cheon Woojin's energy reached the second blocked ki ridian.

Zhuge Lin was suddenly terrified.

"Y-you said it would sting a little..."

"It seems like it will take too long this way."

Cheon Woojin cleanly ignored Zhuge Lin's words.

He had tried to open the ki ridians one by one, slowly, to minimize the pain, but it seed to hurt more than he had thought.

Of course, he didn't know for sure since he had never experienced it...

Anyway, he had a feeling that if he opened them one by one like this, Zhuge Lin might get tired and give up in the middle.

Then there was only one way.

"I will open them all at once."

"W-what?"

Zhuge Lin's complexion turned pale.

Cheon Woojin said firmly.

"It might hurt quite a bit, but if you open your mouth this ti, your ki ridian will be damaged, so you must endure it well."

"W-wait..."

However, once he had decided, there was no hesitation.

Cheon Woojin had approached all matters with such an attitude. Naturally, this ti was no different.

'If a slight sting hurts this much, what about quite a bit?'

Zhuge Lin felt it instinctively.

This was not right. She could die from this. Just as she was about to say that she would endure it quietly, so please open them one by one.

Crack, crack-!

A sound that should not have co from a human body was heard.

At the sa ti, Zhuge Lin's eyes rolled back.

* * *

"Deputy Commander! Are you alright?"

"I'm fine. I was just a little surprised because there was a bug."

Zhuge Lin's voice was calm.

Only then did the relieved Black Tortoise Unit mbers retreat.

A silence fell in the room.

Cheon Woojin wiped a drop of sweat flowing down his cheek, and Zhuge Lin... her whole body was already drenched in sweat.

It was an enormous pain. She had even lost consciousness for a mont. However, on her face, there was a great joy that completely covered her tired expression.

"I feel like I've thrown off a hundred-pound weight."

"I'm sure you do."

Zhuge Lin's ki ridians were more firmly blocked than he had thought. To the point that he realized again how vicious a guy Zhuge Seong was.

In that state, just by performing movent skills and other martial arts, it ant that Zhuge Lin's martial talent was great.

Soon, the blocked talent would blossom in an instant. The deputy commander would beco a martial artist of a completely different level.

"If you circulate your ki for about an hour, you'll feel much better."

Cheon Woojin, who said so, was about to open the door and go out, but then he went out the window for no reason, thinking that the Black Tortoise Unit mbers might misunderstand.

The Black Tortoise Unit mbers did not know that Cheon Woojin was in the room.

* * *

As Cheon Woojin, who had jumped out the window for no reason, entered through the main gate of the Black Tortoise Pavilion, Song Yiyeon said with a fuss.

"Young hero Cheon, where have you been again? I think sothing big has happened to the deputy commander."

"A big thing?"

"Didn't you hear earlier? It was a really huge scream. I even mistook it for being hit by a sound art for a mont."

Cheon Woojin just shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Is she still in the room?"

"That's right. I was just thinking about whether to go in or not."

"It would be better to wait for about an hour and then go find her again if she doesn't co out. She said she was fine."

"Umm, that's true."

Song Yiyeon nodded his head.

Soon, he looked around and then lowered his voice and said.

"By the way, if you caught the Shadowless Divine Thief, did you really get the treasure map back?"

Cheon Woojin, who had nodded his head, explained what had happened. Song Yiyeon's eyes gradually widened, and in the end, he even held his breath.

The secret cave of the Three Great Talents of the White Path, wasn't it a truly amazing thing?

"Was there anything great?"

"There was nothing special."

"That can't be..."

But it was true.

The red knot that could get the support of the Beggars' Sect was not particularly aningful to Cheon Woojin. Because he had already bought the favor of the Beggars' Sect.

Also, the letter that Man Gija had left for Cheon Woojin...

Surprisingly, there was no content.

Only the na 'Cheon Woojin' was written, and below it was a blank paper.

Although he had put it in his bosom because it was unsettling to throw it away, even Cheon Woojin could not understand Man Gija's strange behavior.

Cheon Woojin thought about Man Gija's secret cave for a mont and then shifted his gaze.

The White Dragon Unit Commander, who had co at so point, was sitting in a corner with the Black Tortoise Unit Commander and was talking about sothing. The White Dragon Unit Commander's expression looked much more comfortable than at the dining hall earlier.

It was then.

"Ah, young hero Cheon. You were here."

At the clear voice heard from the side, Cheon Woojin and Song Yiyeon turned their heads at the sa ti.

A magnificent Taoist with a white hero's scarf tied tightly on his forehead was approaching with a smiling face.

"Young hero Jin Yun."

It was the Plum Blossom Swordsman of the Huashan sect, Jin Yun.

Jin Yun, who had approached, handed over a letter.

"I heard that a letter ca from the Huashan sect, so I stopped by the postal hall, and I also received a letter that ca for you, young hero. The hall master asked

to deliver it to you instead."

Song Yiyeon's eyes narrowed. The postal hall was an institution that managed the post stations and ssengers under the Martial Alliance. As it was a place that handled information, it was on the side of being thorough with security.

He had once gone to receive a letter that had co from the Song family, and since his father had also sent a letter to young hero Cheon, he had tried to receive it instead, but he had been refused.

The reason was that one could not carelessly open another person's letter.

"Hah, just because he's a Taoist doesn't an he's all upright, but to discriminate so openly like this is absurd!"

Jin Yun scratched his head as if embarrassed.

It was not that all Taoists received the trust of the postal hall master, but that Jin Yun himself was one of the most upright among the Taoists...

'It's embarrassing to say it with my own mouth.'

For that reason, Jin Yun just let out a continuous dry cough.

Anyway, Cheon Woojin, who had received the letter, tilted his head.

"Hoengga rchant Group?"

It was a rchant group he had never heard of.

Could it be that the Beggars' Sect had sent so information?

After thinking for a mont, he opened the letter.

Jin Yun and Song Yiyeon also looked at Cheon Woojin with faces that seed to be subtly curious.

The expression of young hero Cheon, who was slowly reading, changed slightly. Considering that he was a person whose expression hardly ever changed, the content inside did not seem to be trivial.

Soon, the letter burned up in Cheon Woojin's hand.

Although it was the technique of the Three Flavors True Fire, both of them already knew quite a bit about Cheon Woojin to be surprised by this.

"Young hero, what was the content that you have such a serious face?"

"He doesn't seem to be any different from usual..."

At Jin Yun's words, Song Yiyeon let out a smirk.

"Young hero Jin Yun doesn't know yet. There's a change that only a person who has seen young hero Cheon for the longest ti, like , can know."

"...Aha."

While the two were talking about useless things.

Cheon Woojin's gaze turned to the White Dragon Unit Commander.

"A fruit orchard."

The White Dragon Unit Commander was eating an apple with the Black Tortoise Unit Commander as usual and was talking.

Fortunately, luck had followed him in this matter. Zhuge Seong was dead, and he had cut ties with the black path he had been dealing with by paying a considerable amount of money.

Although it was a bitter pill to swallow, since he had saved up quite a bit of money, he could maintain the business on his own. In the long run, he would be able to make a lot of money.

The White Dragon Unit Commander suddenly looked at Cheon Woojin, t his eyes, and then quickly turned his head.

'That's not just a monster. He's not just a madman.'

He was a guy who had escaped from the Black Tortoise Pavilion, which the Punishnt Hall had surrounded, as if he were going for a walk in the neighborhood, and had finished enormous tasks in a short period of ti and had co back.

As long as there was such a monster, he could not bring down the Black Tortoise Unit. How could he do what even Zhuge Seong had not been able to do?

Since it had co to this, it was better to just push for Cheol Jiak to beco a commander and then get so scraps later.

The mont the White Dragon Unit Commander thought so.

Cheon Woojin is coming. Although it was the sa as at the dining hall, when that guy approached, it felt as if Mount Tai were walking.

It must be because he had committed many sins.

While the White Dragon Unit Commander was calming his insides, Cheon Woojin, who had co right up to him, said to the Black Tortoise Unit Commander.

"Unit Commander, I'll be out for a while."

"Did you forget that you received a mission ban? No matter what, you have to follow the alliance's laws."

"I know that going out is possible."

"It's only possible if you submit a valid reason and get the alliance's permission. Of course, if you leave the alliance, you'll be a free man... but that's not it, right?"

The Black Tortoise Unit Commander looked at Cheon Woojin with a worried face.

It seed like just yesterday that he had been so happy that outstanding newcors had joined the Black Tortoise Unit. But, thinking about it, he had only received things from the newcors and had not done anything for them.

Now that he had resolved to do sothing for the newcors, it would be aningless if he just left like this.

In particular, if the fence of the alliance disappeared, Cheon Woojin seed like he would have a 'demonic' or 'blood' in his nickna in the future.

Although he could not help this guy with force, he felt that it was his role to guide him on the right path.

Fortunately, Cheon Woojin also had no intention of leaving the alliance. Because he had not yet properly figured out why his two masters had sent him to the Martial Alliance.

"I'm just going out because I have sothing to do."

"What if I don't give you permission?"

"I guess I can't go."

Cheol Jiak looked at him as if surprised.

At that, Cheon Woojin looked at the White Dragon Unit Commander.

'If I can't find evidence at the fruit orchard, I'll have to ask him directly.'

Of course, the process would not be pleasant.

Did the Black Tortoise Unit Commander know what Cheon Woojin was thinking? Anyway, he felt that he should grant the newcor's first request.

"The problem is how to get permission from the higher-ups..."

The mont Cheol Jiak was lost in thought.

Song Yiyeon, who had co up, said.

"I have a way. I heard that you need permission from a hall master or higher to go out, is that right?"

"That's right, but..."

Cheol Jiak's eyes narrowed. Although it was overshadowed by Cheon Woojin's major incident, Song Yiyeon was also a guy who often caused minor incidents.

Anyway, since they were two newcors who were causing all sorts of trouble in the Martial Alliance, he felt anxious.

Whether he knew that feeling or not, Song Yiyeon said with his unique handso smile.

"We'll use that young hero."

Everyone's gaze turned in the direction Song Yiyeon was pointing.

There, a magnificent Taoist was standing with a bewildered expression.

* * *

"Hmm, if it's a call from the Huashan sect, I should naturally respond. But, do those two have to go together?"

The head of the postal hall stroked his gray beard and looked at the awkward-faced Cheon Woojin and Song Yiyeon.

Jin Yun let out an even more awkward laugh and said.

"Yes, the sect leader wanted to see the two of them."

"Umm, is that so."

The head of the postal hall's eyes narrowed.

That guy, Cheon Woojin, was a person of interest in the alliance. Of course, he knew that the head of the Punishnt Hall and the alliance leader had a favorable opinion of the guy, and that the mission ban was just a pretense, but...

The head of the postal hall, who had been thinking for a long ti, finally nodded his head.

"Well, if you're with them, there shouldn't be any trouble. Will you promise in the na of the Plum Blossom Swordsman that you won't cause any trouble?"

"T-the na of the Plum Blossom Swordsman?"

Jin Yun swallowed hard and looked at Song Yiyeon.

Song Yiyeon nodded his head with a tragic expression.

Jin Yun had never thought that he would have to stake the na of the Plum Blossom Swordsman on a lie he was telling for the first ti in his life. He felt ashad of the white hero's scarf he had wrapped around his forehead.

However...

'Young hero Cheon is a lifesaver...'

Song Yiyeon had hooked Jin Yun by ntioning that point. Since he had perfectly grasped Jin Yun's personality, he knew that he would never be able to refuse if he ntioned sothing about a lifesaver.

Song Yiyeon's prediction was accurate.

"Yes, yes... in the na of the Plum Blossom Swordsman..."

"Alright, good."

Thump, the seal of the head of the postal hall was firmly stamped on a docunt.

* * *

"I'm ruined. The rit I've accumulated my whole life has been blown away in an instant. To dare to tell a lie, ntioning the na of the Plum Blossom Swordsman and even the sect leader. Imasurable Life Buddha, I have no way to bear the wrath of the Primordial Heaven-honored One."

Jin Yun was in despair. His face was actually pale.

At that sight, Song Yiyeon clicked his tongue.

"Then switch to Buddhism this ti. There are many good people in Shaolin. You'll beco a Lotus Flower Swordsman from a Plum Blossom Swordsman."

"..."

Jin Yun shot fire from his eyes. Whether that was the case or not, Song Yiyeon burst into a chuckle as if it were funny.

While the two were exchanging so sort of a comic dialogue, Cheon Woojin recalled the letter that Ha Inseong had sent under a borrowed na.

One. The White Dragon Unit Commander is colluding with the black path through the fruit orchard run by his family and is doing business. The location is Heyang, Shaanxi.

Two. The position of the hall master that the Black Tortoise Unit Commander is a candidate for is the head of the Inspection Hall.

Three. If you are not a low man who forgets a favor, you must co and find

after the matter is over.

The Inspection Hall perford a similar duty to the Punishnt Hall.

The difference was that the Punishnt Hall was an institution that executed according to the alliance's laws when an incident occurred, and the Inspection Hall was an institution that constantly poked around the alliance for no reason and had the alliance mbers look into corruption and irregularities on their own.

It was a new hall that the Martial Alliance Leader, Beili Tian, who extrely hated corruption, had created at the sa ti as his inauguration.

In a word, it was the Punishnt Hall of punishnt and the Inspection Hall of prevention.

'It suits the unit commander.'

Given the Black Tortoise Unit Commander's personality, the mont he obtained the position of the head of the Inspection Hall, a huge whirlwind would blow in the Martial Alliance. And his close friend, the White Dragon Unit Commander, would know this better than anyone else.

"Young hero, so where are we going? I feel a little excited now that I'm a free man after a long ti."

"That's right. Tell us now. I staked the na of the Plum Blossom Swordsman."

"Young hero Jin Yun, you hold a grudge for a long ti."

"..."

Song Yiyeon and Jin Yun glared at each other.

At that sight, Cheon Woojin, who had let out a sigh, thought about just leaving them, but since he had co out thanks to the two's wit, he shook his head.

"We're going west."

Cheon Woojin, who said so, pointed to one side with his index finger.

Jin Yun and Song Yiyeon said at the sa ti.

"That's east."

"..."

Cheon Woojin turned his direction slightly as if embarrassed.

"So young hero Cheon had no sense of direction."

"Imasurable Life Buddha..."
