Chapter 92

Avoiding Bu Eunseol’s murderous gaze, Tang Ling stammered, “I’m sorry.
“Gon, Gon, you should go back to Qingyang Small Town with them and rest first.”
“I see.”
Sichuan Danga.
The Tang family, a long-established Sichuan family, was originally a village of craftsmen who specialized in memorization.
However, as he created various memorizers, he naturally became well-versed in the techniques of memorization, and studied the poisons and antidotes for memorization.
Over the generations, the Tang family became masters of the art of the heavens and the poison, and those who passed on their techniques became renowned throughout the realm.
“It’s wide.
Bu Eun-sul’s eyes shone as she looked around the vast interior of the danga.
In fact, the Sichuan Tang family’s direct and extended family members total less than a hundred people.
However, if you add up the number of outsiders in the Tang family, the masters of the outer circle, it is comparable to the old school.
“This is where I stay.”
Dangon smiled sheepishly as he led the way through the halls.
This is because his residence, Qingyangxiaoqiu, is in the outer court, not the inner court where his immediate family is gathered.
“Don’t get me wrong. I chose this place because it has a large flower garden and it’s close to the …… smokehouse.”
Dangon said with a small smile.
“Perhaps it was destiny after all, if I’d known you’d give up on the heir apparent like this, I wouldn’t have had to hone my sword skills so hard…….”
A bitter smile lingered at the corners of his mouth.
Dangon was not only a master of martial arts, but also of talent and temperament. Nothing was left out.
However, because he was a novice, he was unable to master the Tang family’s eight secrets, the Tang family’s eight great secrets, which his immediate family could master.
As a result, there was no one in the Tang family to support him, and he had no choice but to hone his sword skills.
Smart.
Just then, I heard Sibi’s low voice outside.
“The First Prince has come.”
“Your brother? Come and see him.”
A moment later, the door slid open and a pale-faced Tang Ling walked into the room with a huge smile on her face.
“Brother.”
Tangning smiled as he bowed respectfully.
“What stiff example do brothers give each other?”
“Then I’ll go.”
When the decree came, Bu Eun-sul stiffened and turned away.
“Well, sure.”
As Bu Eun-sul left with the black mark, Tang Ling stared at the scene.
“He must not like me.”
“Oh, no, I’m just a little cold in my facial expressions and tone of voice.”
“Was that it.”
“Yes, he’s actually a man, and…… a very nice guy.”
Tangon scratched his head, and Tang Ling smiled at the bashfulness.
“Woohoo. You’ve got a good friend.”
“What?”
“I hear he has risked his life many times for you and broken the siege, and such friends are very hard to come by in the great powers.”
“No.”
Dangon shook his head in shame.
“He’s not my best friend.”
“What do you mean, I just heard him say in his own words…….”
“I just made a transaction.”
Dangon lowered his head in embarrassment.
Tang Ling quickly changed the subject and stretched out his arms as he seemed to be deep in thought.
“First, have a seat. Let’s sit and talk, and here’s some tea.”
At Tang Ling’s word, Sibi, who was outside, brought hot tea.
Chirp.
Tang Ling, who had been pouring tea for Tangon by hand, sighed as he savored the taste.
“Your face has gotten a lot more erotic in the meantime.”
After taking a sip of tea, Tang Ling spoke in a soothing voice.
“For the time being, you can rest well in the Qingyang cowshed, and I will soon persuade your father to stop Tang Bi’s misbehavior.”
“That’s okay, you don’t need to worry about it anymore.”
“You’re okay?”
Dangon shook his head.
“I have returned home to tell my patriarch that I am renouncing my successor.”
“What? Why?”
Dangon said with a pained expression.
“I’m not a loner anyway. I’ve tried to be, but it’s always the same result. I’m just a nuisance to everyone around me.”
“But he’s a quitter.”
Tang Ling spoke with determination in his eyes.
“Don’t do that, just think about it a little longer. I’ll help you.”
“What?”
“First of all, I will give you the adepts of the Poisonous and Eightfold Parties who are under my command.”
Dangon’s eyes widened at the unexpected suggestion.
“That will at least keep me out of Tang Bi’s stables while I’m in the main house.”
“That can’t be, how can I send your men to…….”
“That’s fine.”
Tang Ling laughed and patted Tang Gong’s shoulder.
“I will speak to your father. Rest first.”
“Thank you, brother.”
When Tang Ling returned, Tangon was overwhelmed with emotion.
Duck.
When Tang Ling returned, a moment later, Bu Eunseol and Black Mark entered the room again, as if they had been waiting.
Dangon said excitedly when he saw them.
“Big brother has agreed to help me!”
“You’re helping me. How can I help you?”
When Bu Eun-sul frowned, Tang Gong told her all about his conversation with Tang Ling.
But that’s weird.
“Why do you look at…… with those eyes?”
Tangon realized that not only Bu Eun-sul, but also Black Mark was looking at him pathetically.
“Did I do something wrong?”
Bu Eun-sul looked at Tang Gong and sighed.
“Who is Tang Ling?”
“Big brother…… is a man who is not in good health, but always treats those around him with generosity. It is because of you that I can easily give up this body to my successor…….”
Dangon didn’t continue.
For the snowflakes sighed as the earth was extinguished.
“This is why I’m not building a faction.”
“What does that mean?”
Then Black Mark scratched his head in embarrassment.
“The Third Prince is so full of character and trusts others so easily.”
Dangon blinked as even Black Mark said something strange.
“What do you mean, you’re suspicious of both of them, big brother?”
Bu Eun-sul crossed her arms and frowned.
“He’s giving you his power for one reason and one reason only: you’re a buffer and a shield against Tang Bi.”
“What do you mean, the eldest brother, the one with the most power, is wary of the second brother?”
“Confucius was right.”
Black Mark, who had been listening, cautiously opened his mouth.
“If the third ruler abandons the heir, Tang Bi can rest easy and only have to deal with the big ruler, but if the third ruler remains, Tang Bi has to deal with both of them, which spreads her power and strength.”
“Hahaha, that’s ridiculous.”
“I may be young, but I grew up as a romantic with Dong Pyo Seo, so I think I know more about conspiracies and schemes than anyone else.”
The black mark said again.
“If Big Brother was really worried about the third country, shouldn’t he give us not two parties, but…… at least one, with the best of the best?”
Because Black Mark was an informant, he was well aware of the structure and power of the Sichuan Party.
There’s only one way to get the right faction in Danga.
It is the support of kin who hold a high position in the party.
It’s useless to have the support of the eight parties with no say or authority.
“I see what you mean.”
Dangon turned, a pained expression on his face.
“But you would never do that.”
He says the words, but he already has a look on his face that says he’s realizing everything.
It is impossible for a direct blood relative of the Sichuan Tang Family to be less observant than a young boy like Black Mark.
He knew it all inside, but he had been blind to reality.
“I’m tired.”
Dangon, forcing a bright smile, said to Bu Eun-sul.
“I’m going to take a break.”
Although he was smiling, Dangon’s eyes were filled with pain.
He is the third child of a Tang family, but no one is on his side in this world. He has to take everything on his shoulders and solve everything alone.
“Give it to me.”
At that point, Bu Eun-sul stuck out her hand.
His eyes narrowed for a moment, and he made an ahh sound.
“Oh, right, now that it’s all over.”
Smiling bitterly, Dangon nodded.
“Oh, I forgot, I’ll get someone to memorize it for me soon.”
Then he turned back to the blackboard and said
“You’ve worked hard, so here’s my good gift. Just wait a few hours.”
But Bu Eun-sul hadn’t withdrawn her outstretched hand.
“Do you need something…… else?”
“Yes.”
For a moment, Dangon was puzzled, but then he patted his chest and nodded.
“Just say the word. I’ll give…… anything I can!”
“Hwaseong Suyul.”
Bu Eun-sul glared at Tang Gong and said.
“Give it to me.”
Suddenly, Dangon’s eyes narrowed and the smile on his face slowly faded.
“Why are you suddenly asking for a pseudo-bulb?”
“Wouldn’t it be strange if you stayed here without receiving the leaves?”
Bu Eun-sul pointed to the guest room.
“I’m staying at my friend’s house for a while, and no one is going to kick me out.”
“You are…….”
Dangon couldn’t hide his excitement.
Those who have a lot of money or a high position sometimes have a hard time getting true friends.
Because a true friend is someone who is there when you have nothing. Because they’re there for you when no one else is.
Just like right now.
Eek.
Tang Gong held out one of the leaves from his bosom to Bu Eunseol.
Since I’ve been practicing martial arts, I’ve never been as hands-off as I am now.
“Hmm.”
Bu Eunseol, clutching Eunseol in her arms, said in a low voice.
“Now that you have received this, treat me well. I will treat you well.”
Upon receiving the Yi Shu Leaf, Bu Eun-sul and Tang Gong became friends, transcending status and politics.
“I see.”
Dangon smiled and nodded, and Bu Eunseul said.
“And I have a favor to ask.”
“Be willing, say anything.”
“Become cold-hearted. Even to the point of cutting off blood ties.”
Bu Eun-sul looked at Tang Gong with a cold gaze.
“At least while I’m here.”
“That’s…….”
“If you do, you will be a worthy successor to the Tang family.”
Dangon was speechless.
Bu Eun-sul’s words meant that he too would join the fight for Tangon’s successor.
“I’m not going to say thank you.”
Taking a deep breath, Tangon looked at Bu Eunseol and spoke with authority.
“I’ll be a friend you’re not ashamed of.”
Instead of answering, Bu Eun-sul turned away.
But the corners of his mouth curved into a thin smile, just as they had when he first saw Dangon.
* * *
Water angle.
Located southwest of the Sichuan Tangjia Inner Temple, it is the residence of Tang Bi, the second son of Tang Jia.
Boom!
Slamming the rosewood table hard, Tang Bi shouted at the monk, Tang Shaoyun.
“I told you it could be stopped!”
“It’s disgraceful.”
Dangsun bowed his head and spoke in a low voice.
“I predicted that the first Confucius would see the Lord, but I didn’t know…… the Lord would allow it.”
“And you’re telling me you’re a master poet? If you made that prediction, you should have prepared for it!”
It twists and squeezes like a rag.
Tang Bi took this opportunity to blame Tang Xuan for not being able to kill Tangon.
“Why did my father choose the second Confucius as his successor?
Tang Xuan thought as he lowered his head, letting Tang Bi’s nagging voice drift out of his ear.
Tang Bi has a great talent for martial arts, but her personality is impatient and fierce.
As a result, his subordinates were always on edge, always under his watchful eye.
“Well, he’s in the main house anyway. What are you going to do now?”
After ranting for a while, Dangbi asked coldly, as if the minutes had been cut off.
Dangsun’s response was immediate.
“You’re in the main house, but it’s been a long time coming, hasn’t it?”
“So.”
“Surely the third Confucius will see his patriarch and declare that he will renounce his successor.”
“Hmm…….”
Tang Bi stroked her chin, her brows drawn together as if in deep thought.
“He’s not going to leave you alone, and next to him is this guy named Boo…… what?”
“No matter how great a man he is, this is a party house. Outside forces don’t mean much in a succession battle.”
To become a successor, you must be supported by your own kin, not by outside forces.
Even if Tang Gong were to bring a Martial Lord, he would be powerless to choose a successor.
“But…….”
Tang Bi glared at Tang Xiuyun and said in a cold voice.
“What if he doesn’t give up his position as successor?”
