The World’s Best Childhood Friend Episode 703 (703/750)
Emei sect.
It is one of the nine sects representing the Jeongpa, which is called the Munpa Ijagupailbang, and was founded in Sacheon.
Unlike other sects, it was unique in that it was maintained only by nuns.
What was the reason? I don’t know.
I think it would be right to think that they are not interested.
All I know is that it wasn’t like that from the beginning.
After the Blood Demon War, he excommunicated all male disciples and began to form a group of only female disciples.
When looking at this, people often ask how the Gupailbang can be maintained by only having women.
It seemed like a meaningless story to me.
‘Where are the men and women from the moment they put a bet on each other?’
From a general perspective, unmanned vehicles have already crossed the line.
It simply means that we should divide it into levels, and the moment we enter the category of men and women, it becomes a pointless conversation.
‘The biggest problem are the guys who look down on women.’
That’s something that’s acceptable when you’re a normal person, but it’s meaningless when you’re unmanned.
That means, if you are tricked into falling or hesitate, your throat will be cut off.
Actually, the thing that was the most annoying at the time when the Mines were conquering Sacheon was the Amipa.
It’s not that he was exceptionally strong in military force or had outstanding strategy, but he simply coveted women and got into trouble.
Even though she was a nun, the nuns of the Amipa grew out their hair.
Even though it wasn’t that long, it was short or bobbed.
Maybe that’s why those beastly kids did such stupid things.
‘I managed the black salt basin, but…’
There was no problem in the Black Flame Corps because anyone who did such a thing would be burned alive.
However, the Gwichal Sword Team and the Green Clothing Squad were unable to do so.
But later, after I stepped on the sword and caught one of the attackers and pulled out his intestines, it became quiet.
Because of this, there was almost a problem in occupying Sacheon.
‘anyway.’
I had to ignore those things and look at the woman in front of me first.
Short hair that reaches down to his shoulders and a dark scar running across his cheek.
He looks to be around 20 years old.
‘I don’t know who it is.’
He is not a famous person.
At least, he was an unknown person based on his first impression.
I am the woman of scars. To be exact, I met her gaze as she looked at the disciples of the Amipa.
“What could it be?”

“… Ugh.”
The woman moans as he applies force to the hand holding her neck.
The flow of the bet was interrupted and the movements were sealed.
The realm is at best a pinnacle.
He stroked the woman’s body with his remaining hand.
“…!!”
He crumpled his expression as if he was ashamed, but I didn’t care.
‘Looking at his muscles, he’s a villain.’
If you look at the developed state, it is a dark guest.
However, judging from the calluses on his hands, he appears to be a person who uses long-distance tactics.
He was both a blackmailer and a martial artist… It was a somewhat subtle mix.
“I really wonder. Why would a nun from Sacheon do something like this?”
He asked, slightly loosening his grip.
“What… are… you talking about…? Why, why are you suddenly like this!”
As expected, the woman consistently pretends not to know in response to my questions.
I looked into her eyes calmly as I listened to her words.
The pupils are shaking like crazy.
My breathing is ragged and my heart is beating fast.
Is it fear or confusion?
There may be subtle differences, but I can’t tell the difference.
but.
‘You recognized me.’
She clearly called me Soyeomra.
Ordinary people rarely recognize me when they see me.
It is also possible that the agreement was made on purpose to open up the border.
It’s because I lived without revealing myself much.
She recognized me right away.
‘That’s not strange.’
Even if the rumor didn’t spread, it was known to some extent, and if there was someone interested and knew about it, there was a possibility that they would find out.
but.
‘It doesn’t feel like that.’
The woman’s reaction wasn’t all surprise.
‘This meeting itself was problematic from the beginning.’
Let’s figure out why this is so entangled.
“Does the nun of Amipa have something to say to our Lady Piyeonyeon?”
Advertisements
“… Blood… Love?”
Bloody smoke.
A collateral lineage of the Seoanpi family.
It was the alias that Bongsoon had now.
also.
She was also the bait I had spread.
‘Yeah, bait.’
Eulryeonggeomhu was a figure who was extremely quiet in the alliance, but he was also someone who was watched closely by some factions.
It’s really strange.
It has been decades since he died, and the position of the corpse has already been taken by a volcano.
Is there any reason to watch over her and block her footsteps?
If it’s blind, it can certainly be like that, but for others, I have doubts.
Eulryeong Sword Master was known to be a person who did not belong to any separate power.
In the end, it was revealed that there was a separate force.
‘Anyway, that’s just a lie.’
This is unbelievable to me.
Even if it was real, it didn’t matter.
‘If it’s real, you can just make it look fake.’
Evidence can be created.
The existence of Eulryeonggeomhu is nothing more than a dagger to me.
But.
‘Who could it be?’
Who else but Dae-Jin and me would try to figure this out?
This is something I’ve always been curious about.
Who could it be?
Who is making the movement and why is it happening?
‘Is this someone who can help me?’
To be exact, is there anyone who can help me with my plans?
Or, he might be a useless obstacle.
I was curious about that and had to throw some bait to find out about it.
As soon as someone sees it, it’s a bait as valuable as water.
Yet, it is a precious bait that is not easily noticed.
I threw it out into the ocean, and to my surprise, right away, something took the bait.
That’s it.
‘Amipa (峨嵋派).’
Advertisements
The nuns of Sacheon, or the guardians of Sacheon.
A place where, even though it was on the verge of extinction in its previous life, it did not stand out, but there were many rumors about it.
He took the bait there.
“… Let go… Please let go. Soyeonra, why are you doing this!”
“First of all.”
Ignoring the woman’s cries, he asked the horse first.
“Why were you looking at that kid?”
Outside the preliminaries where the martial arts competition is held.
There, the woman was looking at Bong-soon.
To be exact, it is said that he was looking at it.
It was a report from the Dark King’s subordinates stationed everywhere.
The order was to tell me if anyone was watching Bong-soon or acting strangely.
“What are you talking about? Who the hell was I looking at…?”
Even as I speak, my breathing becomes more and more even.
Park Dong-su was rough, but consistent.
‘He is a person who has trained a lot.’
This makes it difficult to tell whether it is a lie or an act.
The good news is that there are ways to find out, even if that’s not the case.
“Isn’t that a child?”
He asked, nodding his head slightly.
“Then, were you looking at the noble tree?”
“…!”
Suddenly.
‘yes.’
I raised the corners of my mouth, feeling the sensation change.
The woman’s eyes grew wide and her barely managed breathing became hazy.
“… What… What.”
I try to catch my breath, but it’s already too late.
“I mean, what Lady Pi was holding. I thought she was surprised when she saw that.”
“…”
“That’s what the inspector was carrying around. Right?”
The more she smiles and asks, the more you can see the woman’s cheeks trembling.
The expression has already been ruined.
His eyes were filled with astonishment as he wondered how she knew.
The reaction is really delicious.

‘I told you to know on purpose. Of course I should.’
Noble tree.
You might wonder what kind of tree it is just by hearing the name, but it is indeed a precious object. It is one of the weapons made from precious objects.
The shape is that of a pole carved from wood.
‘If you want, it can be a wooden sword or a spear.’
It changed its form according to the caster’s wishes.
It is almost identical to the effect of Guijeong.
It is known that Eulryeong Geomhu used a wooden sword, and it is likely that he used a Gwiyeongmok sword in that form.
“Oh, how about that.”
When I mentioned the ghost tree, the woman let out a voice of embarrassment.
“It doesn’t matter how I knew. What matters is why you saw it and reacted that way. No?”
“…”
The staff that Bong-soon carried had a flower design embroidered in black.
This was one of the characteristics of the ghost tree.
Eulryeonggeomhu would have made this into a handle and carried it around.
The previous life’s ear cuffs also covered the embroidery part.
This is also something I learned later from Gwichang.
There was a big reason why I used the ghost tree as bait.
That’s right.
‘The inheritance of the ghost tree is a bloodline.’
The characteristic of the ghost was that it was inherited through blood relatives.
You can’t use it unless you’re blood related.
This was similar to the characteristic that Namgung’s brain possessed.
but.
Brainiac can be used by anyone from the Namgung family who is acknowledged by the ghost.
‘The point is that the ghost tree must be a real blood relative.’
This is the characteristic that Gwichang mentioned, but in reality, no one could touch Gwiyeongmok except Gwichang.
That’s what I thought.
‘The forces have been looking for the blood relatives of the swordsman since long ago.’
I know that you have information about his health, as well as whether he has children.
That was the information I gathered.
underneath.
‘How did you try to find out?’
I guess you’re not just looking for someone who looks similar.
There must have been a way.
Advertisements
I thought it was a ghost tree.
So, he ordered Bong-soon to carry the pattern openly without covering it.
Rather, it seemed that Maeng, who had to search further, did not know about this.
‘This means that the Murim Alliance doesn’t even know the characteristics of Guiyeongmok, let alone the son of Eulryeong Sword Lord.’
When he saw this, the unmanned Amipa seemed to have realized something about Bongsoon and ran away.
Interest whose name I don’t even know… .
‘I know the ghost tree. I know its characteristics.’
It would be right to see it that way.
“Let me ask you again. What is your purpose? Is it our Bong… No, the blood slave or the ghost?”
“…”
There is no answer.
I think you’ve already noticed.
There was no way to escape, and I failed to control my facial expressions.
So I grabbed the ball and opened my mouth.
“Crack!?”
The moment when the woman was flustered by the sudden situation.
I sent a breath and swept the inside of his mouth.
‘There’s no poison.’
It looks like there’s no poison hidden under the molars or tongue.
Immediately after confirmation, I kept my strength up for fear that he might try to commit suicide by biting his tongue.
“Whatever it is, it is true that Amipa is involved….”
“Kreuk… Ugh.”
“I wonder. Why did it suddenly turn out like this?”
As is known, Eulryeonggeomhu is independent.
There was no particular Sega or school to speak of, and I knew him as someone who rose to power solely through swordsmanship.
‘What could it be?’
Why is Amipa looking for Bongsoon?
‘No, maybe he’s looking for Gwiyeongmok instead of Bongsoon.’
Was the ghost tree perhaps the representative ghost of the Amipa?
‘That could be the case.’
Rather than simply trying to find the bloodline of the Sword Master and do something with it, isn’t it possible that the Sword Master of Eulryeong ran away with the Amipa’s ghost?
So, it is possible that they have been looking for it for a long time.
That’s the value of being the representative item of the sect.
‘This is pure fantasy.’
Just in case, let’s keep it in mind.

‘For now, all we need to know is that Amipa is involved.’
It was a harvest in its own way.
I guess I should be thankful that they get entangled easily even though I threw out some bait.
‘Then this is the last matter.’
“Ugh… .”
A woman who flinches without even being able to close her mouth.
Unfortunately, my business is not over yet.
“Actually, it doesn’t matter whether you’re a virgin or a ghost. What I’m going to ask you from now on is the most important.”
All you have to do is find out and make them spit out the answer.
I was reluctant because I didn’t want to corrupt others without even understanding the possible circumstances.
So I asked.
“I drank some poison this morning.”
“…”
“Did you do that?”
Shudder.
The woman’s movements change.
I didn’t miss it.
“Is that right?”
“Child… child… .”
Are you saying no? Your pronunciation was quite slurred because you were holding the ball.
I clicked my tongue briefly when I saw that woman.
“Oh, I feel a little sorry for Mr. Do-wang. I naturally thought it would be him.”
Unfortunately(?) it seems the second prediction was correct.
When I spoke with confidence, the woman responded with her eyes, indicating a negative.
How did you know?
How on earth can you put it into words?
It’s surprising.
Because there would be no evidence or justification for Amipa being poisoned.
but.
“I heard some rumors.”
Unfortunately, there is more information I heard in my past life than meets the eye.
“Amipa, a nun from Sacheon… has been making jokes about the male warriors who have been gaining fame recently.”
“…!”
“that’s right?”
That’s a lie.
Advertisements
This was a story I had heard in my previous life. In reality, it was just a rumor that had not spread yet.
It was a story that was slowly coming up when Sogeomseong was gaining power.
That Amipa is talking nonsense to men behind their backs.
It was a question that came to mind when I heard that rumor.
The problem is.
“I looked into it and found out that some other people besides me had similar circumstances.”
It seemed like the rumor was true.
“… Ugh… Ugh…”
A servant or a guest.
Or even prostitutes.
From the night before to the early hours of this morning, there were confirmed instances of attempts to poison tea and food in various places in Hanam.
These were stories that I got by rolling a separate water fountain.
The perpetrators who attempted it were different, but the poison they used was the same, and they all failed.
It was said that they paid a large sum of money to those who had not even trained and pursued petty methods.
It seems obvious to me that this was a deliberate failure.
The common point here is.
‘Even though the perpetrators are different, the victims all participated in the fighting.’
All of these characters are gradually gaining prominence among men.
Young male drones whose reputation is only now rising.
The point is that they were attempted to poison them.
‘And then it all failed.’
The victim has no fever.
As I was involved in an unknown threat in a foreign land, I couldn’t even mention it easily.
The funny thing is, no one asks Maeng for personal protection.
Why is that? The most trustworthy organization in Hanam is definitely the Murim Alliance.
‘… This is probably simply due to the pride of the unmanned.’
It seemed that even those who were called Jeongpa-in did not actually believe in Maeng.
This can’t be anything but a mess.
“A child… It’s a child…”
“I wonder why they had to do that.”
I don’t believe in infidelity.
It’s funny that the rumors that spread in the past life turned out to be true, but I was curious as to why he did such a thing.
I think I’ve got the justification for this, so should I just make it mine?
So, shall I ask you something?
Worries arise naturally.
Advertisements
The situation couldn’t have been better otherwise.
‘Because you can get other things besides information about Eulryeong Sword.’
There were no plans to add more mines for the time being, but it was a tolerable situation for convenience purposes.
Should I corrupt it?
At that moment when I was worrying like that.
“hmm.”
A good idea occurred to me.
This is a time when there are more than one or two forces involved.
Amipa and Murim Alliance.
In addition to that, there are other situations that bother Sega. Here’s what I need to know.
‘Are the Meng and Amipa in a cooperative relationship?’
Or is it a hostile force?
‘Perhaps, since it has the name Jeongpa, I don’t think they will be hostile.’
That doesn’t mean it would be a completely cooperative relationship.
If it was cooperation, it was strange that Maeng didn’t know about the information about the inspection.
I don’t know what their relationship is.
‘At least to me, they are both hostile forces.’
Rather than being stuck between those two and struggling here and there, it was right to use a much easier method.
“good.”
After thinking about it, I smiled.
The woman who saw my laughter trembled for some reason.
Looking at her, I tightened my grip.
Boom-!
******************
A large residence located in the north of Hanam Province.
This was one of the areas managed by the Murim Alliance.
It was the residence currently used by the Amipa’s literati.
The interior of the third largest residence in the jurisdiction.
There.
“Gyaaaaaaah-!”
A sharp scream rang out.
“S… Sajjeo!”
“A tragic accident…!!”
The women in their doboks all checked the situation and their expressions turned pale.
In their center lay a woman, already dead, breathing heavily.
Advertisements
The second disciple of Amipa who had just set out on a mission. It was Yeonyoung.
“What, what is this…!”
A corpse suddenly discovered in a field.
The women faced the situation and their expressions were all crumpled.
“… Get out of the way.”
Everyone flinched at the voice heard from behind.
Immediately the women move aside to make way.
Then, an old woman walked towards Yeonyeong’s body with a respectful gait.
“…”
A cold corpse.
Judging from the marks on his neck, he appears to have died from a single blow.
Looking at this, the old woman asked her surroundings with sharp eyes.
“… What the hell is going on here?”
“That, that. While I was standing guard, it suddenly appeared…”
“…What?”
The old woman’s expression darkened as she heard the explanation.
This is a space managed by Maeng, and even if it wasn’t, it was a place where the literati stood guard.
But, a human corpse suddenly appears in this open space without any obstacles?
That too.
‘The child who was sent on a mission?’
One of the five who were given the top secret mission last night?
It was something incomprehensible.
The old woman looked at the body again, feeling something strange.
“hmm…?”
Suddenly, I saw something being held in the corpse’s hand.
The old woman immediately tried to grab what the corpse was holding and pull it out.
My body is gradually stiffening and I can’t straighten it properly, so when I apply force, a popping sound comes from my palm.
Thud-!!!
Only after completely crushing the corpse’s hands was I able to take out an unknown letter.
The old woman had to squint her eyes to see if the mangled hands of the corpse were of any interest.
The letter contained a single line of text along with a symbol representing the Murim Alliance.
[Don’t approach the secret any more.]
“…”
The moment I saw the words written on the letter.
Whoosh whoosh-!
“Long story!”
Advertisements
“It’s dangerous!”
The letter he was holding suddenly caught fire and disappeared.
“…under.”
old woman.
No, he is the eldest son of the Amipa and one of the Seven Iron Three Swords.
The Powder Moon Fist Immortal had to scrunch up his face as if he was overcome with anger
