Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Episode 433 Budding Seeds (3)

Clink!

The plate that fell shattered into pieces.

Hu Yaosheng scratched his head.

“Is it that shocking?”

“Chief maid?”

“omg! yes?”

“You dropped a plate.”

The cherry blossom was startled and looked at the floor.

“Wow! Sorry!

“No. You have nothing to apologize to me… are you okay?”

“yes?”

“This is not normal. haha.”

Aenghwa hurriedly swept up the broken pieces of the plate.

“Huh? Then I got hurt.”

“Oh, it’s okay, Commander-in-Chief.”

Slurp.

With a single gesture from Cherry Blossom, the fragments that had flown far away came together on their own.

Ho Yo-seong’s eyes widened.

“Oh? That’s amazing? Isn’t that the Yueum Demon Ball?”

“yes that’s right.”

“It seems like I used the Heavenly Hand of the Woleum Demonic Gong… It’s amazing. It’s very delicate, isn’t it?”

It’s hard to say that Hu Yao-seong’s level of martial arts was outstanding even with empty words. In the first place, his strength was his head, so there was no need to risk his life for martial arts training. However, his

eye for martial arts was not low. In fact, he was not only a hundred and eight demons of the Xingyo religion, but also a hundred and eight demons. He was the only one who memorized all of the Eight Demons.

“I know it hasn’t been long since you learned Woleummagong, but if you are already at that level, you will be a full-fledged expert in the next ten years.”

“Oh no! That’s not true. I just…”

“Haha, just as important as knowing your shortcomings is knowing your strengths. “Being overly humble is also not a good thing.”

“Ah…”

“That’s just the way it is. But are you okay?”

“yes?”

“I didn’t know it would be such a big shock that the church leader secretly left the church.”

Aenghwa’s face darkened.

“No. “I was worried because you said he left without saying anything.”

Ho Yaoseong smiled.

“You don’t have to worry so much. You know how strong the leader is, right? Moreover, since the entire kidney department is involved, it is actually more difficult to be at risk.”

“I guess so too, right?”

Ho Yaoseong thought as he looked at Aenghwa’s slightly brightened face.

‘Master. There’s no need to do that, but you’ll have to take care of a lot of people when you come back.’

As Seoliang became the head of the religious sect, Aenghwa, his exclusive maid, also rose in rank.

Of course, Aenghwa refused. This is because he thought he did not have the ability to rise to that level.

The same was true for Seoliang. She was just his exclusive maid and colleague, and he did not think she had the ability to be the head of the department.

However, Ho Yo-seong persuaded Seo-ryang and elevated Aeng-hwa to the position of head maid.

Even though the words of the religious leader are absolute, there are some things that a worshiper cannot give up. When Seoryang became the head of a religious sect, he broke with practices that had never been seen in history in many ways, but it was not possible to have a maid in charge arbitrarily.

However, replacing the maid was not what Seo-ryang wanted, so he had no choice but to promote Aeng-hwa to head maid.

Aenghwa’s promotion was truly unprecedented even among the female servants of the Protestant religion. Of course, it was natural since she was the servant of the religious leader, but since she earned this position not through ability but because she was good at walking the ropes, she couldn’t help but feel sorry for her.

Aenghwa also felt extremely burdened by her position.

So, Ho Yo-seong thought that cherry blossoms were suitable as the head maid. In his opinion, the virtue of the chief maid was humility, not being able to do things quickly or treat the maids under him well.

‘Of course, sometimes it goes too far.’

Therefore, the teacher should pay a little more attention to the cherry blossoms. That is the responsibility of the religious leader before the cherry blossom problem.

At that time, Aenghwa asked.

“But Commander-in-Chief.”

“Please speak, Chief Maid.”

“Ah… yes. “It’s no different.”

“Isn’t it different?”

“I was curious about where the leader went.”

It was a question worthy of curiosity. Hu Yaosheng informed without hesitation.

“This is Gangseo-seong.”

“Jangxi Province?”

Aenghwa’s eyes widened.

Ho Yaoseong tilted his head.

“Why are you doing that?”

“Oh, that…”

“Laughs. Is this even the head maid’s hometown?”

“yes.”

“⋯⋯?”

“⋯⋯.”

“Really?”

“Yes.”

Hu Yaosheng was rarely embarrassed. Although he did not show it, he said,

“I didn’t know that. Actually, quite a few of our school’s majors are from Jiangxi Province.”

Even Ho Yaoseong, who is said to be a rare genius, does not know the origins of each and every one of the demons in the school. Even if he were a genius, his brain would be split to pieces if he were to memorize them all.

“By the way, where are you from in Gangseo Province? Since you came to our school, you are most likely from the south…”

“Dochang (都昌).”

Hu Yaocheng’s eyes widened.

“Taochang? Isn’t that the northern part of Jiangxi Province? In Fayang Lake?”

“yes.”

“her!”

Poyang Lake is one of the five major freshwater lakes in the central plains, along with Dongtong Lake, Taihu Lake, Hongze Lake, and Xiaohu Lake. It is connected to the Yangtze River above and plays a role in regulating the water level of the Yangtze River. It was a large lake.

Even in Jiangxi Province, where commerce is highly developed, the area with the most active logistics flow is around Payang Lake. Since Payang Lake is surrounded by Zhejiang in Anhui, North Hubei, local people call it a merchant’s paradise. It is also said,

‘Isn’t the head of the Gangseo Chamber of Commerce also there?’

Curiosity appeared on Hu Yaosheng’s face.

“I see. I didn’t know. When did you join the church?”

Aenghwa was doubtful inwardly, but answered obediently.

“I’m over ten years old, so it’s roughly six or seven years ago.”

“Oh, I see. Then I guess you don’t know much about the geography of Gangseo Province?”

“yes.”

Ho Yaoseong quenched his appetite.

“It’s a shame.”

“yes?”

“Oh no. I’m just talking to myself.”

“yes.”

But thanks, it also helped.

So far, Hoyo Seong has handled matters through reports and various information from demons active in the operation area. But when I thought about it, I thought it would be a good way to obtain information and understand the local lifestyle by listening to the stories of the native speakers.

I gained a lot from an insignificant conversation. Ho Yaoseong nodded inwardly and suddenly asked Aenghwa.

“Don’t you want to go home sometimes?”

“⋯⋯.”

“I think I asked a pointless question.”

“no. “I really think of my hometown every once in a while.”

“I guess so. “I have lived a life of following the wind and following the wind here and there, but the head maid has a clear hometown.”

“yes.”

“But I guess you don’t remember much because you were so young.”

It may be a depressing story, but unexpectedly, Aenghwa’s expression was bright. It was because she had never talked about the past with others like she did now.

“That’s right. But, there are a lot of things I remember. Especially the guy at the dry goods store who was very fond of me, and when he took my confectionery and ate it. “There are many people I would like to meet again, such as Hong, who taught me how to read Lee Hyeon of Thousand People’s Market.”

A small smile appeared on Ho Yo-seong’s face.

The sight of Aeng-hwa talking lively made everyone who saw it smile. Although she was the maid of honor for the head of a Protestant church, she still seemed like a young girl with a lot of dreams.

“When the leader comes back later, let’s take a vacation.” “I’ll ask you to give it to me.”

“Ah! You don’t have to do that!”

“A good maid must have a lot of experience in power. Think of it as studying and go back to your hometown.”

“Ah… thank you.”

“What. “I’m embarrassed because there’s nothing else I can do for you.”

Hu Yaosheng lowered his head from his seat.

“If you do that, I’ll just go. “There’s a mountain of work piled up.”

“Yes! Go in carefully!”

“Haha, I understand.”

Hu Yaosheng smiled, turned around, and walked briskly.

But even for a moment.

He slowly reduced his walking speed and soon stopped.

“But, Chief Maid.”

Aenghwa, who got up after clearing away all the debris, tilted her head.

“yes?”

“That’s what you said a little while ago.”

“What do you mean?”

“People who made memories with the head maid when they were young.”

“Ah yes!”

Hu Yaosheng turned around.

“Would you be able to remember those people if you saw them again now?”

Cherry blossoms nodded cheerfully.

“Sure! Their faces are as vivid as if I saw them yesterday. “There are not many people who have shown me that favor.”

“aha? okay.”

Hu Yaosheng’s face became serious.

“But… one of them is a friend of Cheonin Sangdan.”

“Yes? Oh yes!”

“Do you remember his name?”

“Who? Oh, Lee Hyun?”

“Your friend’s name is Lee Hyun?”

“Yes! “It’s Jang Yi-hyeon (張移入)!”

Mr. Jang.

Ho Yo-seong remembered that the name of the owner of the Cheonin Trading Company, that is, the second trading partner of the Gangseo Trading Company, was Jang Hyeong-seo.

“If it is a Cheonin merchant, it is one of the leading merchants in Gangseo Province, and if it is Mr. Jang, there is a high probability that it is a child or relative of a merchant.”

“Huh? Is that so?”

“That’s right. In other words, the head maid has been connected to the bloodline of the Heavenly Merchant Merchant since she was young.”

“Is that how it works?”

“Were you particularly close?”

“Ah… yes. We were best friends before we entered the school…”

“If the head maid contacts you now, will she remember you?” “

Yes!”

It was a confident answer.

Even Ho Yo-seong, who had been half-astonished, opened his eyes wide at the confident voice.

“Is there a reason you are so confident?”

“That’s not true.”

“In terms of feeling?”

“Yes. Hyun-i was banned from going out because she learned to work at the upper level before I joined the school. I will probably be Hyun-i’s last friend as a child.”

Certainly, if it was that kind of relationship, there was no way I could not remember it.

Ho Yo-seong, who thought for a moment, grinned.

“Well, even if it wasn’t necessarily that, I came up with several strategies.”

“yes?”

“Chief maid.”

“yes.”

“Would you like to have a cup of tea with your childhood friend after a long time?”

The moving speed of the group was literally as fast as the wind.

In Seoryang and Yeogukdo, Namgung-eon are masters who have already reached the ultimate level. They have the ability to cross the central plains within a few days if they put their mind to it.

Except for the three, the remaining experts were also formidable. Not only Baekpalmajang, but also Yeo Kang-hwi was a transcendent expert and had the military power to be treated well anywhere in the martial arts world.

No one was weak and no one lacked mental strength. Moreover, with God at their head, they showed results beyond their ability.

It took a whopping five days to travel from the Hundred Thousand Mountains in Guangdong to Nanchang, the capital of Jiangxi Province.

Even though they had to cross not only mountains but also rivers, they reached Nanchang in just five days. It was a speed far beyond imagination.

Namchang was close to Payang Lake. In other words, the party had dug into the middle of enemy territory in Oil Bay.

“Please take care of me, branch manager.”

“Dominion sex! Immortal! “I accept the command of the Holy Ghost!”

There was also a branch of Protestantism in Namchang, Gangseo Province. Of course, it was a secret branch that others could not know about, and only those who possessed four levels of secret language and orthodox magic could enter.

The group that entered the branch’s underground base each unpacked their belongings. They were all exhausted as they had run at a speed that exceeded their limit.

“Puh-ha! Oh, I don’t even want to eat. “I just want to sleep right away.”

Yeo Kang-hwi was more resourceful than expected. It looked completely different from when I first met Seoryang. As things were going well at Binggung and his dependable father was with him, it seemed like his original personality was coming out.

Seo-ryang smiled and asked Yeo Geuk-do.

“Is he really like that?”

“Sometimes I wonder if he’s my son.”

“Just by looking at its appearance, anyone can tell that it is the successor to Bingungung.”

“That’s why I’m worried. “The gap between appearance and personality is too severe.”

Coming here, the two decided to be comfortable with each other. Of course, you can never do that in a public setting.

Xi Liang said to Cheolmoojeong.

“Everyone is exhausted, so let’s get some rest today.”

“Yes, leader.”

“I’m going to wander around for a while and then come back.”

“yes?!”

Cheolmoojeong was embarrassed.

“Then I will be with you!”

“That’s it. You too, get some rest before you start work.”

“B but…!”

“It’s an order.”

Cheolmoojeong knelt down.

“If you do… please rest in peace.”

Xiliang narrowed his eyes.

“You don’t have to worry too much. I’m not weak enough to get hit somewhere.”

“I’m so sorry!”

Seo-ryang stood up.

Yeo Geuk-do followed along as if he had been waiting.

“Do you want to go together?”

“Of course. “He’s still very lively.”

“great. “I still needed someone to talk to.”

“Do you feel sorry for me when I say that?”

“haha.”

“Where did the Sword King settle down?”

“I decided to contact you separately. He may have just come in, but seeing as he refused because he was a branch of the Heavenly Demon Church, it seems like he is clearly a construction worker.”

“I guess the same goes for me. By the way, why are you going to that street to get some rest?”

Seoliang narrowed his eyes.

“This is to conduct a preliminary investigation of the business premises and to cause a heated accident.”
