-Seonhyeop Siwoo: Hey

-Seonhyeop Siwoo: Do you know how to get rid of a woman who is obsessed with you?

-Zombie Siu: There’s that kid who’s being chased by a yandere elf spiritist. Was it obsession? Let’s ask him

-Seonhyeop Siwoo: I still can’t get rid of him. Because everything failed.

-Zombie Siu: That’s right, but if he doesn’t know, no one will know.

– Seonhyeop Siwoo: Of course. But again, I’m sorry for taking it that far.

-Zombie Siu: What’s going on?

-Seonhyeop Siwoo: Ah, this is a bit complicated…

*

One year since the last incident. Hagapyo Country, to which Siwoo belongs, has continued to grow remarkably.

This is something that couldn’t have happened in the first place. Regardless of Yu-ran and Si-woo’s resourcefulness, there was no way the existing powers would tolerate the growth of the emerging powers. Therefore, Yuran also focused on internal growth rather than external growth. It’s literally a hundred years old.

However, Yu-ran and Si-woo realized at some point that there was a strange lack of control.

The two didn’t know the reason at first, but when they actually thought about it, there was only one reason.

Rumors began to circulate that a hermit was protecting Hagapyoguk.

In fact, if you think about it even a little, it is an absurd rumor. In martial arts, where even top-notch masters are precious, is it possible to be a heavenly divine being? There are degrees of bravado, but isn’t this really just a rumor that isn’t even worth thinking about?

However, there were quite a few forces that took this seriously. Firstly, because the unreality of the rumor actually increased the credibility of the rumor, and secondly, because it was well known that Haga Pyo Gukju was the forbidden jade leaf of the wealthy Haga Sangdan owner.

Lastly, it was because strange new testimonies came out every now and then.

‘The various martial arts were mixed together and it was impossible to recognize the main stream.’ ‘It is a righteous sect, a sect, and a demonic sect’, ‘It is strange and strange, so you cannot follow it with your eyes or your head’, ‘He is a young man, but he is like an old reclusive master…’ … ‘. Such rumors further stimulated the sense of mystery, and the number of people becoming more wary of Hagapyoguk increased.

Of course, there were always those who were attracted to such rumors.

“Shinseon.”

One of those minor moths. Siwoo touched his forehead as he heard the girl’s voice, cold but not chilly, like the morning dew.

The girl had a cold appearance with her straight black hair, sharp eyes, and expressionless face. Her silver-blue hair was visible here and there, as if she hadn’t dyed her hair properly, so anyone who knew even a little bit about martial arts would know where she came from. It was a hangover.

In some ways, she is a more difficult opponent to deal with than Ha Yu-ran. Siwoo tried to reveal her rejection as euphemistically as possible.

“You said no. “I’m sure you’ve been watching for several weeks already.”

“That’s what makes it even stranger.”

The girl glared at Siwoo’s chest at eye level as if she could see something and spoke in an indifferent tone.

“I have an intuition that the girl has a metaphysics that I cannot see, above and beyond the one that Shinseonnim shows.”

“Believe it or not, you have already seen it all.”

“That’s a lie.”

＜BR＞ “It’s so salty.”

“That can’t be possible.”

Questions and answers as if talking to a wall. Si-woo sighed at the fact that the content had not changed one bit for three weeks.

It wasn’t that I couldn’t understand the other person’s feelings. In Siwoo’s own opinion, ‘Cheonmu’, which he created by clumsily crossing over all the martial arts in the world, was a martial art that stood out too much, and in any case, it is true that he gave several reasons for unusual rumors to arise while working as a pyosa. Although there were unavoidable circumstances.

However, the workload was already heavy due to the excessive expansion of Hagapyo Bureau, and it was not enough to put up with the continued useless conversations.

“Why on earth do you think that?”

“Isn’t that obvious? “What kind of idiot in the world would look at such martial arts skills and think that he was a bastard?”

“That’s right…”

Even if Siwoo is like that, he is only a second-rate warrior in the end. Of course, in this industry, even second-class warriors were treated quite well, but if you look at martial arts as a whole, it was really at a trivial level.

It’s not a joke, it’s really not strange if you die while walking down the street. However, the girl who seemed to embody the severe cold of winter had what she thought was very clear evidence.

“Shandong is a place where there are no proper ‘generations’, no nine factions, no five generations, no four factions, no demonic religions, so no one recognizes it, but the girl already knows the true nature of the martial arts. I saw the sword dance of Namgung and Cheonma shown by the immortal, the harmony between Hwasan and Jongnam, Jang Sam-bong and Yeo Dong-bin holding hands, and the path of harmony between Jeong and Ban that leads beyond Jeong, through Sawa Ma, and to Taegeuk. Would a person who performs martial arts like that be a mere mortal?”

“…”

The moment he saw it, he was dumbfounded, wondering if he had really done something so great.

To be honest, after looking at the non-geom, Namgung’s Paedo and Cheonma’s Paedo seemed similar, and I was sick of Hwasan Si-woo and Jongnam Si-woo fighting all the time, and I wanted to tie the two of the most famous names together. I swear I didn’t mean anything else.

But it was also true that he had nothing to say to refute.

It is common for people to hide even the construction skills they learn in just a few weeks, but the arrogance of those who follow their masters and boast that they have formed a clan or family must be very arrogant.

There were countless cases of people only being taught three or four basic martial arts after doing odd jobs for three years, and since the times were so old, there were also many absurdities that were truly unimaginable. Martial arts has become a kind of status, a privilege that is only available to a select few.

As a result, Si-woo, who is learning all kinds of martial arts in the world, is already beyond the standard. There is only one conclusion that can be drawn from this.

Fresh.

That great and terrifying being.

“… Is it so. Let’s say that’s right. But even so, I don’t know why he’s so obsessed with me. “If you need a hermit, isn’t there someone right next to you to ask?”

“…”

“Isn’t that right? Princess of the North Sea Ice Palace. “Bingseolyeon.”

The girl’s eyes trembled slightly at Siwoo’s words. Seeing that, Siwoo smiled broadly.

You mean you didn’t know? Even in a time when there weren’t many mirrors, there must have been at least one yearning.

“… “How did you know?”

“First of all, I would like to tell you to dye your hair carefully. As the princess said, there were no descendants in Shandong, so no one recognized her, but that silver-blue hair was very noticeable.All.”

“That can’t be…”

Seol-yeon belatedly brought up her longing and played with her hair. However, silver-blue hair was already growing from the roots, so it wasn’t something that could be changed just by looking at it a little.

The girl made a small excuse.

“This cannot be helped. Because of Bingung’s constitution…”

“You know that well, so you don’t need to say more. So, what on earth do you want from me?”

If you’re a middle-of-the-road person, you’ll understand. There are one or two idiots who don’t know how precious their lives are.

However, when it came to the princess of the North Sea Ice Palace, it was a different story. Right now, her mother, Binggungju, was none other than Cheonhaengshinseon.

The information you want can be obtained in many different ways, and I could not guess why Bingseolyeon, who knew the strength and fear of immortals better than anyone else, would come all this far to look for Siwoo.

“I wonder how you stay sane.”

“… “What does that mean?”

“My mother hasn’t been able to maintain her sanity since she became a immortal.”

Even during this time, Seol-yeon kept her head straight. You could call it her spirit as a princess or her pride. Either way, she was easier to deal with than Siwoo.

“It’s different from what I know. “The immortal must have been nothing more than a sinner in heaven.”

“Yes. “My mother and I both thought so.”

Contrary to the general image, in Seonhyeop novels, immortals are never good or noble beings.

On the contrary, a immortal is a person who rejects the laws of nature and pursues eternal life and goes back to heaven. It is itself an object of heavenly punishment, and thus becomes a being completely different from humans.

Therefore, they have a strong sense of being the chosen people, and at the point when they have already committed the worst crime of being invincible, additional murders or massacres become nothing, and they commit crimes even if only to avoid heavenly punishment. This was Siwoo’s common sense.

But Seol-yeon says that is not the case.

“If it were just that, it wouldn’t be a problem. However, the very foundation of his nature has been distorted… No matter how much you think about it, it’s not normal.”

“Hmm…”

“Your rationality has not been broken, so you can still work as a Bingungung lord. However, if this continues, Binggung will be consumed and destroyed for her mother, and her mother may become the great evil of Wulin and engage in endless evil like other immortals. That’s the only thing that needs to be stopped. If the immortal helps you…”

“I knew what you meant.”

Siwoo felt a little disappointed inside.

At most, he imagined that he would not want to be punished through the inaction of Binggungju and other immortals, but he never thought it would be this serious.

Besides, her brother-in-law had no way to help her.

“As I will tell you earlier, I am not really a immortal.”

“… Are you still saying that?”

“Don’t you know, too, princess? “What immortal in the world would do something like this in a place like this?”

Just because you become a hermit does not mean you will live forever. It just prolongs lifespan a little.

Therefore, all immortals make it their primary task to extend their lifespan by further raising their level until their extended lifespan expires, and for that purpose, their way of life is to use any means and methods.

Whether it is truly an achievement achieved through self-cultivation, or an elixir or reward extorted from others,Whatever it was.

From that perspective, Siwoo’s behavior was very far from being a saint.

From a immortal’s point of view, why would someone who has a short lifespan and has to advance to the next level within a short period of time do difficult work in the country? That too for one year.

“Wouldn’t it make sense if he was a ‘true hermit’ who achieved eternal life, or if living in a foreign country was a form of training?”

“…”

As Si-woo just looked at her without replying, asking if that made sense, Seol-yeon’s gaze eventually broke first.

In her mind, who still firmly believed that Si-woo was a immortal, Si-woo’s actions sounded like a declaration that she would never teach anything.

Seolyeon’s expressionless expression is slightly cracked. Siwoo looked at this with regret, but he reassured himself that he couldn’t do anything that couldn’t be done. No matter how bad the situation is, aren’t there things that can help and things that can’t be helped?

However, he said that his desire to help was already filled with such comforting words.

Even at the end of her suffering, her compassion did not end, and he eventually reached out his hand to her.

“Whew, good.”

“… !!”

“Even if we are too far away to help each other right now, Ha Gapyo State wants to have a good relationship with the Beihai Ice Palace, and doesn’t the princess have other clues?

I am not a hermit, and I do not have any information right now, but it is true that there is ‘something’ that the princess cannot see. This is probably the best person to get the information the princess wants.

So, instead of just following along like now, how about staying as an official guest of Hagapyoguk and engaging in mutually beneficial exchanges? “I will do my best to investigate and seek information.”

There was no way for Seol-yeon to refuse Si-woo’s favor.

That’s how the princess of the North Sea Ice Palace ended up staying in a mere country.
