Chapter 105

The emperor’s physician, Lim So-keun, marveled at the Three Kingdoms in his hands. It was the finest of the finest.
“How did you obtain this?”
Looking at Huang Tianhou, who had personally procured something he had never seen in his entire life, Lin Shouke shook his head.
“I’ll go straight to the princess, and I’ll tell you about it separately.”
“……, please move quickly. My family has sacrificed their lives to save her. Don’t let it be in vain, don’t let it be in vain.”
“I will.”
“Please let me know if there is a difference.”
“Of course.”
Lim So-keun left the room and prepared to make a decoction.
“If you make a decoction, I think you’ll be able to see the benefits. It’s more than just reishi. It can be said to be an elixir of life.”
“……, isn’t it more effective to feed it directly than to make a decoction?”
Lin Xiaoqun shook his head at the monkfish troupe leader Huang Tianhao’s words.
“That would cause someone of your stature to become ill. You’re right in saying that her body can’t handle it. It would be harmful to feed her directly with the Three Kingdoms, especially with this much spirit herb. It would make her already unstable body even more difficult.”
“……Yes.”
Ding, ding, ding.
Sam Wangzheng’s energy heats up, and soon a clean fragrance fills the room. The fragrance of the Three King Zhengs stimulated the noses of Huang Tianhao and Lin Xiaoqun, and they enjoyed the clean fragrance.
“So, Master Huang, I have a favor to ask you.”
“What is it.”
“Please stay with me here for seven weeks and seven nights. The Three Kingdoms’ aura is so strong that it might damage the princess’s jade body, so I need you to help me keep the qi flowing without any kinks.”
“You mean, I need you to operate the Qin Qi.”
“I suppose you could think of it as a martial arts expression.”
It would be a challenge to stay here for seven days and nights to help Eui and keep an eye on the princess’ condition.
“I will.”
I agreed to go along with the story. Of course he would.
Her own brother, who had plunged into the wilderness at her request, had just saved her life. He couldn’t let him die in vain, and that was something he couldn’t allow to happen.
“Speaking of family, does Master Huang have a family? I haven’t heard that he has any siblings.”
As he stirred the soup and watched it carefully to make sure it didn’t blow away his energy, he wondered how he had gotten the best reishi. After years of searching, he had come up empty-handed. Through the Huang Family’s information network, he had learned that it was in the Zhongyuan Martial Realm, but the Zhongyuan Martial Realm was a mysterious world.
I’m just surprised that they found it so quickly. It’s a tribute to the monkeys.
Seeing Lin Xiaoqun’s eyes, Huang Tianhou shook his head.
“I didn’t do anything, it’s just my brother who gave his life for my words.”
“Ah……! Are you the one from Zhongyuan that Mr. Huang said was your brother-in-law?”
“Yes.”
It must have already spread to the Huang family.
“He seems to follow Mr. Huang well.”
“I don’t …… follow him.”
“What?”
“I said I don’t follow him.”
Lim So-geun scratched his head at Huang Tian-ho’s words. What does that mean, then?
“Equal, and now stronger than any bond of blood. It’s not a reasonable thing to say that we should follow each other because we care about each other. You know the word brotherly love.”
Brotherly love.
Brothers are like hands and feet, and once they are lost, they cannot be regained, which means that brothers should stay close to each other.
“I’m just like him. I should be careful not to lose him, because we are always together.”
“……I envy you.”
Lim So-geun admired Hwang Cheon-ho’s figure once again. The monkfish troupe leader Huang Tianhou was an object of reverence for men and women alike, even in the Huang family. To have such a person as a brother-in-law, and even more so as a brother-in-law, was a great honor.
“Perhaps he is also an outstanding person.”
“Outstanding, yes. He was careful of his surroundings, sure of his work, and even had a sense of responsibility and mission. Excellent, skillful, superior. Well, you know how it started with me when I first went there. All over the world…….”
There was no such thing as a badass. When Huang Tianhou, who was a heavy man, talked about his stepbrother, he lost track of time.
Lim So-geun smiled as he listened to the stories. Suddenly, I became curious about the man who was so unexpectedly connected to Hwang Cheon-ho.
What kind of person was he?
* * *
“Eek!”
“You’re broken.”
“What’s the matter.”
“You’ve got a horn.”
“What a horn.”
It was just me and my aunt who asked each other how we were doing. My time in Kunlun was not short. After a whopping three months, I was able to return to the South Palace only to face another winter.
“What has the Pungwoonjihoe decided to do?”
“Gu Feifang, the Six Great Reigns, and the thirty-two tops and twenty marker states have pledged their support.”
It took three months to organize the Fengyun Gathering in the name of Shaolin, Chengsheng, and Kunlun, and to secure the participation of the other six great families in the name of Nangong, Jiegong, and Pangong.
At the same time, he was promised support from the top and the representative states to provide the necessary funds and manpower for the grand event.
“When do you plan to hold it?”
“There are still a few more things to coordinate, but we can’t begin until you arrive.”
I thought of Huang Tianhou, who had been so grateful to see the Three Kingdoms and had clasped my hand repeatedly. He left without delay, but he thanked me and promised me the support of the imperial family.
Perhaps the time of his return will be the time to open the Fengyun Branch.
“By the way.”
I sighed heavily as I turned to look at the two men on the ground.
“What are you doing here, blowing off steam?”
“Venting. Teaching.”
I clicked my tongue at the sight of both Kang Woo-moon and Dong-hwi on the ground, their legs shaking.
“If you do that twice, I’m going to take you to the goal.”
“If you can’t follow me, there’s no point in going to Gol.”
With those harsh words, I turned to Donghui and Kang Wu-moon.
“Do you really need to be taught by your uncle?”
“What do you mean, you don’t trust us, that’s why we only took Fang Sojourner and Black Tiger Dai Hao with us this time.”
Ugh.
Looking at the two pouty-faced people, they seemed to think so. I’m going to have to let them off the hook now.
“Why do you think that? I just wanted you to get stronger, you need time to train.”
“……It’s been six years since we spent time on the front lines with the bandits, and half a year since we’ve been through the rough stuff in the North Sea. You’ve been with us for so long, I thought you’d forgotten.”
I smile at Kang Woo-moon as he turns and speaks. Seeing his regret, I patted him on the shoulder.
“It’s not that,” I said, ”I needed a quick Divine Law on the way to Kunlun. We had to get there in time to join Senior Kwangseung.”
“Sounds like we’re weak and all that.”
“……Ah, okay, I won’t leave it behind next time, so please stop.”
“You promised. Duke.”
I sighed as I looked at Kang Woo-moon and Dong-hwi, whose faces had straightened up after receiving my assurance. Then I looked at my uncle.
“No, why are you looking like that?”
“Leave it alone.”
“You’re old, you need to get some rest.”
“It’s sunny, you bastard!”
“Ha, right.”
If I leave it behind twice, they’ll have a big group torah and won’t see me for the rest of the day.
Memories.
“Let’s see how strong they are when they come back.”
“Let’s see.”
Chu, chu, chu.
“We’ll join you.”
“We’ll make you pay for leaving us behind.”
Donghui and Kang Wumen raised their swords.
This is it, Wen.
What a welcome back ceremony.

Iron Blood Sword King An Baek, he felt as he clashed with the great sword in front of him.
One pull,
one step.
He couldn’t help but laugh at his nephew’s extraordinary skill.
The third step of the Demon Sword Method,
Black Tooth.
The tip of An Bai’s sword, which he never used except for transplants, was sharpened. The darkness in the tip of the sword rumbled and seeped in, and it quickly slammed into the greatsword.
A clang!
The shape of the great sword struck down as if it were going to split his skull, shattering the sword in An Baek’s hand. I could feel it from the tip of the sword. It wasn’t just the weight of the sword, but the strength and energy it contained. It was as if the black child would be swallowed up by the greatsword.
But.
“Not yet! Not enough to overcome me!”
With a fierce spear slashing sound, the black child began to push the greatsword away.
Kugugugung!
This scene shows why the Sword King is the Sword King,
He was powerful enough to aim for the next Wu Nanshen Zone, so he had the strength to overcome the emperor’s sword that was falling in front of him.
Because it was a clumsy emperor’s sword.
Because it was an unfinished emperor sword.
Thinking of that, An Bai sighed lightly and looked at the young man in front of him.
“……Wait a little longer.”
He smiled bitterly at the sight of his nephew, a young man who looked down at his sword with regret. The young man looked down at his sword wistfully, and An Baek smiled bitterly at the sight of his nephew, who looked like he would catch up to him in no time if he let his guard down.
“This time, it’s my turn! I want to see that sword ……! I want to see it in front of me!”
“Me too! Me too! What is that crazy sword, no, what sword……!”
An Bai smiled wryly as he watched the young men standing beside his nephew in astonishment.
“You’ve grown so big, now you can stand on your own without my help.”
Something in me is a little bitter.
And a little happy.
And then a little bit of pride.
Wondering if this is how a parent feels when looking at their grown child, Anbaek looked up at the sky.
“Now you’ve grown so big that even my arms can’t hold you anymore, and you don’t have to worry about me.”
The clear clouds and blue-blue sky seemed to be smiling back. It was probably An Baek’s sister, the mother of the Southern Palace, watching from the sky.
“Keep watching. Let’s see how much more he grows.”
