Moon-Shadow Sword Emperor
Chapter 453

Episode 453:

Yoon Seol-lin.

The golden jade leaves of Yoon Ga-jang (圇家莊).

The impression I had of her so far was not very good.

That was inevitable because she was blinded by the immediate benefits and was rude to Sima Yun.

Now, I couldn’t figure out why he had the shame to come to Sima Family and ask for help.

“Get up first.”

Sima Yun, bending his knees, helped her up.

Even after moving to the living room, Seollin Yoon showed an extremely polite attitude.

The way he fidgeted and looked at Sima Yun out of the corner of his eye showed that he was certain that he would be treated poorly.

“You asked for help.”

“yes.”

“What specific help do you need?”

Samaun asks with a soft smile on his lips.

Yun Seol-lin swallowed dry saliva and carefully opened her mouth.

“First of all, I have to tell you about the situation our family is in.”

Her subsequent explanation was as follows.

During this subjugation operation, Yoon Ga-jang suffered extensive damage.

So much so that the family fortunes have declined significantly.

This was because the military unit representing the family was massacred at the hands of Ma Seon.

“I know that a time of upheaval has come to Guizhou.”

“…….”

“If things continue like this, Chief Yoon will definitely be eliminated.”

As I watched, I slowly nodded.

I roughly understood it.

What was Chief Yun thinking of asking Sima Family for help?

Why was Yoon Seol-lin dispatched and not anyone else?

If the Cheonghyeoldo clan became a Baekdo clan, the power structure of the Gwiju martial arts group would change significantly.

Of course, the head of the family will also be caught up in the aftermath.

Will it be possible for the head of the family, Yoon, who lost the main force of the family, to withstand the turbulent times?

I thought that possibility was low.

‘The people who are most concerned about the coming future are none other than the family members of the Yoon family.’

In order to restore the family fortunes, it was ultimately necessary to receive outside help.

But is there really a clan or family that can lend a helping hand to the current Yoon family?

Murim was a heartless place.

In terms of profit and loss, the relationships that had been built up over time were all gone.

What if you don’t have enough time to prepare for the upheaval that will come in the future?

‘Do you have the luxury of worrying about other families’ circumstances?’

This is probably what Yoon Jangju judged.

The relationship between the Samase family and the head of the Yun family is not so good, but they have no choice.

The Wulin faction most likely to provide help is none other than Sima Se.

The reason why Yoon Seol-lin was sent may have been because he judged that the person involved should come forward to unravel the tangled knot.

“I know what the small cooperative thinks of me. I also recognize that this is a shameless request. Please show kindness to our family just once. “If there is anything you wish for, I will give it to you.”

“Sozer.”

“If you wish to support the transformation of the Blue Blood Path to the White Path, I will do so. If you ask me to provide collateral, I will give it to you. “If you want my body….”

“You have gone too far. “Just stop there.”

Sima Yun sighed and stopped Yun Seollin.

Did he realize that he was too excited?

Yun Seol-lin, whose face was bright red, lowered her head.

“First of all, there are three things I want to tell you.”

“……?”

“First of all, I don’t have any ill feelings towards Sojeo.”

“yes?”

“It’s been a long time since I forgot about the past.”

Seollin Yoon’s pupils widened significantly at the unexpected remark.

She raised her head with a puzzled look and made eye contact with Simaun.

“Second Sozer, you are not asking a shameless request.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Patriarch Yun is the family that accepted Sima Family’s request and participated in the dangerous subjugation operation. Should we turn a blind eye to such a family and allow it to perish? If that happens, people in the world will point fingers and criticize Sima Sega.”

“…!”

“Any family that follows the right path must do the right thing regardless of the gain or loss. “If Chief Yoon is ignored here, who will step forward to establish justice for the martial arts community in the future?”

Things were turning strangely.

To be honest, I thought Sima Yun would beat Yun Seollin down.

A person who apologizes for past mistakes and seeks help only after being in a regrettable position.

Who can see it favorably?

However, Simaun had a completely different perspective from me and Yun Seollin.

He spoke so well and the story was so persuasive that I almost nodded without realizing it.

“third. Sojeo is currently answering questions from the East and the West. “I asked Soger specifically what kind of help he wanted.”

“What you’re saying is…”

“Aren’t there many ways to help? We can provide financial support or dispatch talent. Or, it would be okay to form a blood pact and announce it. So that other martial forces cannot mess with Chief Yoon.”

Seollin Yoon’s shoulders trembled slightly.

Their eyes became watery, as if they were about to burst into tears at any moment.

It seemed like he was very moved as words he had never expected flowed out of Simaun’s mouth.

He must have been under a lot of emotional pressure as he had come to the Simase family after receiving a mission that depended on his family’s fate.

If it wasn’t a public event, wouldn’t I have cried out of relief?

“First of all, we need to know what parts of the family are lacking in order to be able to make a specific plan. “Isn’t that right?”

Yun Seol-lin wiped her eyes with her sleeve and nodded with a stern expression.

I was quick to control my emotions.

If you think about it, he was a person with the temperament of a female commander, not only because he directly participated in the Maseon subjugation operation.

There was a reason why Jangju Yoon did not hesitate to entrust such an important task to her.

* * *

After completing his errand, Yun Seol-lin left the Sima family.

I looked at Sima Yun, who was arranging the tea utensils, with an expression of incomprehension.

“Why do you look at me like that?”

“It was just a little surprising.”

“What do you mean?”

“I thought the small cooperative would not help Mr. Yoon.”

The man I had ever seen named Sima Yun was far from a just person.

A little while ago, when he was talking harshly to Seollin Yoon, I even felt my hands and feet shrinking.

It did not occur to me that he simply decided to help Chief Yoon by demonstrating his great-hearted nature.

I guess there must have been another reason why I didn’t tell Seollin Yoon.

“Isn’t there a saying called mutual aid? “We must help each other.”

“We will have to compete for regional interests anyway. “You have to hit it when you can.”

“Of course, what the manager says also has a point. But…”

A bitter smile appeared on Sima Yun’s lips.

He stopped arranging the tea utensils and sat across from the table, cleared his throat once, and spoke.

“At least I don’t think Sima Shiga should be like that.”

“What does it mean.”

“Shouldn’t we follow the same path as Samasegawa of the past?”

“Are you saying that it was a groundwork to remove the negative impression that Samasega had?”

“There is nothing like that, but I would like to show it to the previous head of the family. “The transformed appearance of Sima Sega.”

I was drooling.

Now I felt like I knew what Sima Yun was thinking.

This is what he wanted to say to his father.

Your ways are wrong.

From now on, I will prove it.

“Of course, this may just be a childish idea. You could say that we are leaving the easy path and taking the difficult path.”

In the past, Sima Shiga, who was active in Jiangsu, took over the hegemony of the region and committed all kinds of dirty deeds to maintain power.

In a way, Sima Yun’s decision could be said to have originated from a feeling of opposition against the Sima family at the time.

It is easy to push out competitors and take what they have, but coexistence is difficult.

There was no way Sima Yun didn’t know that fact.

Of course, a way could be found by replaceing a way, such as bringing the Yun family head under the Sima family.

However, the process will never be smooth.

He was willing to walk down the thorny path.

“Actually, until recently, I had never thought very seriously about the revival of Sima Sega. “Just do it because it’s necessary.”

“…….”

“But I’ve been thinking that way lately. If we can show the world that Sega is growing in a completely different way than before. What will Sima Gaju of the previous generation think when he hears the news? “I wanted to check it out.”

“It’s not bad. “I’m already looking forward to it just by hearing it.”

I nodded with a smile on my face.

I felt better because Sima Yun finally seemed to have clarified his goal.

After achieving his long-cherished wish of punishing Sima Xuhuan’s evil deeds, Sima Yun lost his goal and was wandering.

He only acted mechanically as my lieutenant and as an elder of the Sima family.

‘Should I say it went well? ‘I felt a little uneasy.’

If this incident helped you become clear about the path you should take, that wasn’t a bad thing.

It was a pleasure for me.

The drive of people with a purpose is nothing compared to those who do not.

I was already looking forward to what Simaun would show in the future and surprise the world.

“And one more thing. “I am not the head of the Sima family.”

“……?”

“Even if my ideal is nothing more than a vain dream that cannot be achieved and the Sima family ends up in ruins, it doesn’t really matter.”

I stopped laughing.

This was not something that an elder from the Sima family would say, and no one else.

‘You could say it’s possible because it’s Simaun.’

If it goes well, it’s good; if it doesn’t, there’s nothing you can do.

Sima Yun’s mindset was very different from that of the previous Sima family lords.

Because I didn’t have to worry about the future, I was able to work without pressure.

Whether this would be beneficial to the Sima family would remain to be seen.

“ha ha ha!”

Sima Yun and I, who were quietly staring at each other, eventually couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter.

* * *

Three days have passed.

Days spent going back and forth between Samase River and Cheonghyeoldo Gate and watching what is happening in Gwiju.

After finishing the meal, Samaun found me heading to the training hall and ran over to me, handing over the letter he had taken out of his pocket and saying.

“Boss. “Look at this.”

“Is there a problem?”

“I just received a call from the Gwiju branch of the Murim League.”

“At the Guizhou branch?”

Sima Yun’s expression was unusual.

I could tell intuitively that something bad had happened.

“It would be a good idea to check the contents of the letter urgently.”

“What on earth is going on?”

“They say Hebei has fallen into the hands of the Demonic Cult.”

“…!”
