◈ 70th Feast (2)
The afternoon of the three days before Yeon Ga-hee’s 70th birthday party.
The carriage carrying Mujin and Shaolin disciples ran down the main road of Deungbong County and arrived at the entrance of the Musculoskeletal Therapy Clinic, and Mujin and Shaolin disciples got out of the carriage.
And Mujin came face to face with a woman with a vaguely familiar look.
‘Where did you see it?’
When Mujin was tilting his head, wondering if it was one of the young women who were visiting the doctor.
The woman recognized Mujin first and opened her mouth with a bright smile.
“Dude Mujin! “Are you back now?”
Only after hearing the woman’s voice was Mujin able to recognize the woman’s identity.
“Lord Seolhwa?”
“yes! You’ve changed so much in the time I haven’t seen you. Mr. Mujin. “I think it’s hard to even call you ‘dongja’ anymore.”
Since it had been nearly five months since he left Deungbonghyeon, Mujin, who was still in the growth phase, had grown an inch taller and her breast fat had also shrunk a little.
However, it was nothing compared to Ryu Seol-hwa’s change.
“I almost didn’t recognize him. Lord Seolhwa.”
The baggy clothes typical of this era didn’t reveal my body, but at least I didn’t feel as fat as I did in the past.
The clothes she was wearing were also the same size as the clothes worn by regular women, not as large as in the past.
But what stood out more than the clothes or body was her face.
‘Is this worse than expected?’
I thought the facial features themselves were beautiful, but even the jawline and bridge of the nose were revealed after losing weight. In many ways, it exceeded Mujin’s expectations.
“Has it changed that much?”
At Mujin’s words, Ryu Seolhwa blushed and slightly turned her head. As if he was embarrassed.
‘Hmm. ‘It looks like you still lack confidence.’
Mujin decided that it was because she was still not confident in her appearance.
‘Well, I’ve been living like that for several years, but it would be difficult to immediately change my personality by a hundred and eighty degrees with just a few months of exercise.’
After thinking about it, Mujin decided to boost her confidence.
“You have really changed beyond recognition, Lord Seolhwa. I am worried that the men in Dengfeng County will have heartache. ha ha ha.”
At Mujin’s praise, Ryu Seol-hwa’s face not only blushed, but turned completely red.
‘Hehehe.’
She worked really hard for nearly five months after Mujin left.
He avoided sweet and fatty foods because they were thought to make him gain weight, and he continued to visit the clinic and exercise repeatedly even on days when no female customers came to the clinic.
Thanks to that, recently, as Mujin said, the number of love letters passed down to her has increased significantly.
She was already the forbidden jade leaf of the Cheonryu Sangdan. In addition, men were lining up as the beauty buried in her flesh was revealed.
But the reason she decided to lose weight was not because she wanted men to rush to her.
This was because there was a man who looked at her before those men ran in, and there was a man who sent her a love letter for the first time.
That’s why she wanted to be recognized by the man who first sent her a love letter.
“Well, then, what does Mujin Dongja look like?”
“Would I have had different eyes? You have become truly beautiful. Amitabha Buddha.”
When Mu-jin and the class president complimented each other, Ryu Seol-hwa’s face turned red and she began to twist her body like a snake.
However, Mujin was thinking about other important issues and did not pay much attention to her antics.
‘Seeing as Ryu Seol-hwa is still alive, it looks like something hasn’t happened within the upper level yet.’
Still, Mujin thought he might not know, so he quietly asked a question.
“Then, did anything special happen at your home?”
“These days, I’m busy preparing for my grandmother’s 70th birthday party. ah! By any chance… … “Are you also planning to participate in the 70th feast?”
She was a girl who secretly avoided using the expression ‘child’.
Mujin answered her question with a shallow smile.
“yes. I plan to participate. But I don’t know if I can participate in a small party held by family. ha ha ha. “Isn’t it also the Lord Seolhwa’s time to see you?”
“My brothers are just like my father, so we barely see each other because they work hard. There are now three days left until the banquet, and neither of you have arrived yet.”
Although I started ahead of Ryu Seol-ho, I still had concerns about what might happen. However, after hearing her answer, it seemed like nothing had happened yet.
But there were still many problems.
Even though it is not a sect, it is one of the five great sects in the world, so the number of experts who have collected gold in the heavenly sect is quite high.
So, if they were going to do something at the 70th birthday party according to Mujin’s plan, the enemy would definitely have attracted many experts.
As of now, Mujin was powerless to stop them alone. However, there was insufficient justification to attract a large number of Shaolin disciples.
You can’t just attack the headquarters of Cheonryu Sangdan when there isn’t even any evidence. If that had happened, he would have dealt with Ryu Seol-ho along with the Shaolin disciples a long time ago, without even having to come here.
Also, if a large number of Shaolin disciples were forcibly brought in, the enemy might give up their attack. If that were the case, the relationship between Cheonryu Sangdan and Shaolin would only become estranged because they had disturbed the 70th birthday party for no reason.
There were such complex problems scattered throughout.
Mujin wasn’t worried.
A person who wouldn’t be a problem even if he went to Yeon Ga-hee’s 70th birthday party. Mujin knew a person who had more powerful force than could attract many Shaolin disciples.
“Lord Seolhwa. “Is Grandpa Hyeon-gwang inside by any chance?”
* * *
A hall located deep inside the musculoskeletal treatment clinic.
“Mujin! What happened here?”
Beopgeon, who was sitting in the yard there, looked at Mujin with a surprised expression.
“Hehehe. “Please come quickly.”
Hyeon-gwang, who was receiving rehabilitation treatment from Beop-geon, burst into empty laughter and welcomed Mu-jin.
“student. “I just finished working in Nanchang and returned here.”
Mu-jin, who honored Beop-geon and Hyeon-gwang as class president, asked Hyeon-gwang.
“Grandfather. “Have you heard the news that Grandma Yeon’s 70th birthday party will be held in three days?”
“Hehehe. Lady Yeon still comes here often. Of course I heard about it.”

“So, are you planning to attend the 70th birthday party?”
Hyunkwang shook his head in response to Mujin’s question.
“I heard that it was a small event to spend time with family. “I often met and talked with my master, so wouldn’t it be nice to spend some quality time with my grandchildren that day?”
In Mujin, the question of why Hyeon-gwang’s name was missing from the invitation list was resolved.
However, to solve this problem, Hyeon-gwang’s help was needed.
Since my body was still uncomfortable considering my ridiculously high level, I wanted to avoid difficult tasks if possible, but I had no choice this time.
“Grandfather. “If it’s not too much of a problem, wouldn’t you please join me in the 70th celebration?”
At first glance, it could have felt like a child dragging an adult in because he was embarrassed to attend a party at someone else’s house alone.
But Hyunkwang knew that Mujin was not that ordinary child. She knew that this was a child who would have refused outright if she had been uncomfortable attending in the first place.
“Hehehe. “It seems like there is some connection.”
“I have one thing to worry about.”
“What are you worried about?”
“I thought that since it was a party where flowers gathered together, bugs would be attracted.”
The owner of the huge group called Cheonryu Sangdan was ultimately Ryu Ji-gwang, and if Ryu Ji-gwang dies, Cheonryu Sangdan will fall into the hands of someone from his family.
However, what would happen if the family was exterminated all at once?
A secret struggle broke out to take over the ownerless Cheonryu Sangdan, and in the end, it could have been torn into pieces or the huge prize could have passed into someone else’s hands.
Hyeon-gwang, who boasts an excellent understanding, was able to understand Mujin’s metaphor without difficulty.
“But the fence that protects the flower is a very strong fence made of a great deal of gold. “It would be difficult for insects to come in and out easily.”
“Theravada is just wondering if the inside of the fence has already rotted and bugs have grown inside.”
“her… … .”
Hearing Mujin’s words, Hyeongwang took a deep breath and recited the Buddhist prayer.
Mu-jin just looked at Hyeon-gwang in silence.
Ryu Seol-ho hasn’t done anything yet. Of course, he didn’t have any evidence.
Therefore, Mujin had no choice but to use the expression ‘worry’ and used metaphors instead of direct expressions.
Since we know that Ryu Seol-ho will become the owner of the merchant in the future, we can’t convince them that Ryu Seol-ho is trying to do something this time.
And after a while.
Hyeon-gwang, who had closed his eyes while chanting the Buddha, opened his eyes and responded with a mysterious look.
“Let’s do it together. “If you are worried about your grandchild, shouldn’t you, as a grandfather, roll up your sleeves and take action?”
“thank you. “Grandfather.”
Mu-jin sighed in relief and expressed his gratitude to Hyeon-gwang as class president.

next day.
Mujin went to the headquarters of Cheonryu Sangdan with Hyeon Gwang.
When the gatekeeper sent a kite inside, the foreign general came forward and guided them to Danjujeon.
And Ryu Ji-kwang welcomed the two who unexpectedly visited.
“Thank you for coming here. Monk Hyeongwang. Mujin Dongja.”
“Hehehe. I’m just sorry for taking up your time when you’re so busy. Amitabha Buddha.”
“I just apologize. Lord of the top.”
In response to Hyunkwang and Mujin’s words, Ryu Ji-gwang waved his hand and said.
“ha ha ha. Not at all. “Are you here because of your mother’s 70th birthday party, which will be held in two days?”
“So it is. “I’m just sorry for suddenly changing my mind and making things more complicated.”
“no. “If Monk Hyeongwang attends, my mother will be very happy.”
“Hehehe. Actually, apart from attending, I have one more thing to ask you, so I came here.”
“If I could ask you a favor, what would it be…” … ?”
“Actually, I would like to ask if our Mujin could stay here at Cheonryusangdan’s main house from today.”
“You mean from our top? Could you possibly know the reason? Mujin Dongja.”
To Ryu Ji-gwang’s question, Mu-jin answered while acting embarrassed.
“There will be many guests at the 70th birthday party, and the grandchildren will also come, so it will be difficult for me to spend a long time with my grandmother.”
“ha ha ha. So, do you want to stay here for two days in advance and celebrate your mother’s 70th birthday?”
“Hmm. That’s right.”
As Mujin scratched his head and acted embarrassed, Ryu Ji-kwang burst out in an uncharacteristically hearty laugh.
‘Did it work?’
It is expected that work will be done on the 70th birthday party, but it could have been done before, rather than on the day of the 70th birthday party.
In the end, what was important was that the moment the Ryu family gathered together was the most dangerous.
So, he came up with this bizarre excuse with the intention of infiltrating Cheonryu Merchant Marine with Hyeon-gwang starting today.
You can’t use the excuse that your son might be preparing to kill you.
Is it because it was nice to see Mujin taking care of his mother? Ryu Ji-gwang willingly accepted Mu-jin’s request.
“If that is the reason, you are welcome. Isn’t it none other than Mujin Dongja? ha ha ha. I have already heard about what happened in Namchang. “You sent away the Zhuge family and made his high-ranking officials regulars.”
Ryu Ji-kwang, who was smiling like that, was actually thinking of something completely different.
‘Isn’t he truly an excellent son-in-law! He is a talented person, and even has a noble heart that thinks of his wife’s grandmother! I think I’ll take this opportunity to stay here for two days and let you feel how comfortable the roof of our Cheonryu Sangdan is!’
Ryu Ji-gwang was still full of plans to return Mujin. He doesn’t dare to show it in front of Hyeon-gwang, so he just refrains from saying anything.
After that, I hope that Hyun-kwang, Mu-jin, and Ryu Ji-kwang will continue to talk amicably for a while.
The voice of the Foreign Minister was heard from the entrance to Danjujeon.
“Sangdan lord. Master Ryu Seol-ho, the head of Nanchang Bunta, has arrived.”
At the Foreign Minister’s words, Hyeon-gwang smiled hollowly and said to Ryu Ji-gwang.
“Wow, it seems like we took up too much of the busy merchant’s time.”
“no. Monk Hyeongwang and Mujin disciples are always welcome.”
“The time with your son will be important, so I think we’ll just get up for now.”
“yes. “I will convey this to the Minister of Foreign Affairs and guide you to your accommodation.”
After saying that, Ryu Ji-gwang shouted towards the entrance to Danjujeon.
“Get out!”
Immediately after Ryu Ji-gwang’s shout, the door to Danjujeon opened and Ryu Seol-ho entered inside.
“!!!”
Ryu Seol-ho’s face appeared momentarily embarrassed when he discovered Mu-jin in Danjujeon.
