The World's Greatest Troublemaker

Chapter 29

Mok Wigun looked at Pyeon Jeoksu and said.

"If it works, the possibilities will certainly increase."

But the problem was whether it was possible, given that the worlds were different.

"The ingredients are different, and the environment is different. The magic circles researched in that other world will be useless."

"Of course. But the principles of the world have similar aspects. There must be something similar here, so I'll do some research."

Mok Wigun looked at Pyeon Jeoksu with a smile. He was grateful that he was thinking this way and that, wanting to help somehow.

Pyeon Jeoksu suddenly flared up.

"Alright. I need to quickly research magic circles and make potions."

If that happens, Mok Wigun can regain his former skills. He thumped his chest and said.

"Just trust me. I'll find a way somehow."

Even if it didn't come true, it was a pleasant thing to hear. In fact, there was something that was a bit annoying. The duel with Daoist Master Cheongun and the match with Captain Dan Bulseok were both regrettable. If he had just a little more internal energy, it would have been a much more enjoyable match.

So the thought of having to quickly find a way to fix his Dantian became firmly established.

"If that happens, I'll become the true number one under heaven. Doesn't that sound a bit cool? The Demonic Dragon Body becomes the number one under heaven!"

"Don't do that again. It's really not good."

"Why? It's based on facts, so it's realistic and good."

It's already spilled milk, so there's nothing to be done about what Cheongun and Mugwang heard. But he wanted to prevent it from spreading any further.

"They're probably still waiting, right? I'll have to go and have a firm talk with them."

"Why? Mok Wigun of the Demonic Dragon Body. It seems to fit perfectly."

"If you keep doing that, I won't fund your research."

At the mention of research funds, Pyeon Jeoksu's mouth suddenly became quiet. When I glanced at him, he seemed a little hurt. He was a difficult fellow anyway. You can't just leave him alone at times like these. You have to soothe him a little.

"I was just saying. And thanks to you speaking well, I was able to tie down Cheongun and Mugwang to some extent. Those two will be a great help until I fix my Dantian."

"Right?"

The guy's expression softened slightly. In fact, Daoist Master Cheongun and Mugwang are famous masters in the Martial World. They would be of considerable help.

"So, if the two of them are still here, you'll have to talk to them well."

"Me? What should I say and how?"

Mok Wigun told him what to do. In the meantime, the two of them arrived at the annex.

"I don't know how to thank you."

Daoist Master Cheongun repeatedly expressed his gratitude to Mok Wigun.

"What have I done? It is you, Daoist Master, who has gained enlightenment on your own."

Daoist Master Cheongun looked as if he had entered the entrance of the super-peak as expected. That's why his expression was quite bright. On the other hand, Mugwang had a sullen expression.

"But I would appreciate it if you would keep what you have learned here a secret."

"Of course. I will never tell."

At that moment, Pyeon Jeoksu stepped up and said.

"You must make a clear promise. I really hate being bothered."

"Of course."

Cheongun resolved to be really careful. In the Martial World, a master is the same as a natural disaster. A disaster that cannot be helped by human power. There is no choice but to be careful and careful again.

But he's not just a master, he's Pyeon Jeoksu, a peerless master of Reversion to Youth. Just by him raising his aura, it was enough to make one shiver. To break a promise with such a master and make him an enemy? It was something he didn't even want to imagine.

"You?"

"Sir?"

Mugwang answered in surprise.

"I'm asking if you will also keep it a secret."

"Of course, I will never tell either. But..."

Mugwang said with an embarrassed smile.

"Can't you have a sparring match with me?"

It seemed he was envious that Cheongun had gained enlightenment.

"Ahem. I think it would be better for you to do that with this child rather than me."

"Didn't Young Master Mok also learn from you, Senior? So I think it would be good if you did it."

Mugwang spoke a little strongly. Seeing that, Cheongun was startled.

Isn't this the Mugwang who had already committed an unbelievable discourtesy? He had mistaken him for Mok Wigun, attacked him, and had been beaten to a pulp. His eyes and face were still swollen.

But he was still pestering him for a sparring match and to teach him some martial arts. He knew he was a guy crazy about martial arts, but this was the first time he realized he was this crazy.

"Since he wants it so much, please grant him your teachings."

When Mok Wigun chimed in, Mugwang became even more excited and even prostrated himself on the floor, saying.

"If you do so, I will serve you as my benefactor for the rest of my life."

Pyeon Jeoksu laughed hollowly and looked at the ceiling. And he sent a telepathic message.

- I'm tired. I'll have to use more of my power to guide this guy, and I might die if I do.

- You can just do it skillfully without using internal energy as much as possible.

- That's because you're skilled. I'm not at that level.

There was no strength in his voice. Mok Wigun thought for a moment and then answered.

- Then let's do it in parts. I'll help you whenever I have time.

- Just that and it's over?

- Alright. Tell me if you need anything. I'll get it for you.

- Good. Then get me something related to pill-making recipes. I think I'll need it. And also something related to formations and barriers. Ah. And get some good blood quickly.

He demanded a lot. But they were all necessary things. Mok Wigun answered that he would do so. Then Pyeon Jeoksu opened his mouth.

"Alright. Instead, remember that you must keep the secret. And you can't tell others what you've learned here."

"Thank you, elder. I will never forget this grace."

Mugwang smiled broadly and repeatedly bowed his head. And so, one more person came to reside in the annex.

* * *

"He's really dragging his feet."

Mok Seonkwang had not announced the appointment of the head of the inspection team for a week. He said it was delayed because there was internal opposition and he was sorting it out.

"That's nonsense."

Mok Seonkwang was not someone who would be troubled by things like the opposition of his subordinates. He must be doing this because he has some ulterior motive. As he was thinking that, Magistrate Chu arrived.

"You seem to be looking better and better."

"Magistrate Chu's eloquence also seems to be getting more and more brilliant."

"What are you talking about? You are really glowing. I think something good is about to happen."

He held out the documents he had brought.

"It is impossible to prove that Lady Jang's side colluded with the Baek family."

"I see."

Magistrate Chu said with a slightly surprised expression.

"I said it was impossible, but you are not shaken at all."

"The only evidence is that handmaiden from Lady Jang's side who secretly went to the Baek family, so how can it be proven?"

Even if you catch the handmaiden and get a confession, she can just deny it. If there's any sign of an investigation, they could get rid of that handmaiden first.

"Why did you ask me to gather evidence when you knew all that?"

"I'm not going to hold a trial. Proof is used in trials, and I can handle things in a different way."

Magistrate Chu's mouth twitched.

"Do you know what I think is the best thing I've ever done in my life?"

"How would I know that? So. What is it?"

He said with a slightly brighter smile than before.

"It's getting the position of the Haomun branch head here. Actually, I regretted buying the magistrate position with money a little. Because it cost too much money."

But he said that thought had completely changed.

"If I hadn't settled here, I wouldn't have been able to meet you, Young Master. Then I would have really regretted it."

"Am I a person worthy of that? I'm still a person of no consequence."

"You will soon become great. Everyone has their own vessel, and your vessel, Young Master, its size cannot be fathomed. It's so big that it seems it could even hold the sea."

Anyway, he was a person who had mastered the art of praising people.

"As you can see, I have brought everything you requested. I paid special attention to the data on the merchant guild side."

"Hmm. Good. This will be a really big help."

The data he brought was detailed and thorough. It seemed he had used a lot of people to investigate, as even the circumstantial evidence was all recorded. The additional data on the merchant guild side that he had ordered was also good.

"But will the Hall of Law cooperate? It won't be easy even if you become the head of the inspection team if your hands and feet don't move."

"Did I expect something like that? For now, I plan to move alone. That would be more effective."

"As expected of you, Young Master."

Magistrate Chu thought that Mok Wigun would not move in an ordinary way. He also wondered what he would do when all sorts of obstructions came from all sides. But as expected. He was thinking of a move that broke expectations.

"Can't you tell me a little more? I also put in a lot of effort to investigate this."

"I'm going to strike from the bottom up."

"Startle the snake by hitting the grass. If you beat the surroundings mercilessly, the opponent will be surprised and move. Aha. So that's why you asked for the merchant guild data."

As he said that, he tilted his head.

"But won't it be difficult to observe the opponent's movements alone?"

"There's someone else to do that."

Magistrate Chu thought about it. How many people would he have to use to separately observe the movements of Lady Jang's side.

The Mok family estate is not an easy place to monitor. Among them, he only had to observe the movements of Lady Jang's side, so it was even more difficult. So one or two people would be far from enough, and a considerable number of experts would have to be attached.

"You must have a separate plan."

"Just know that."

"You are truly an interesting and talented person, Young Master."

As they were talking like that, Steward Wang came and announced the news.

"Young Master. The Family Head has sent this."

When Mok Wigun received it, it was like a letter of appointment appointing me as the head of the inspection team. And a wooden sword symbolizing the head of the inspection team came with it.

A sword plated with gold and glittering. On one side, the characters for 'strictness' were engraved, and on the other side, the characters for 'discipline' were engraved.

"But he also sent a message that there will be no separate ceremony and that it will only be announced internally."

"I guess so."

What's so good about it that they would have an appointment ceremony? They would try to pass it over as quietly as possible. He had expected that much.

"Alright. Then shall we start moving?"

Mok Wigun stood up from his seat. The first place he would go was the Eastern Heaven Merchant Guild.

"Shall we go together?"

"No, sir. I'd like to accompany you out of curiosity, but I also have a lot of work. It's a real shame."

Magistrate Chu was truly regretful. He said he hoped for a good result and left first.

"I should start preparing."

"But do I have to do it?"

Pyeon Jeoksu grumbled, saying that he was being made to work too much lately.

"Who else in this world can do this kind of work but you? I'm trusting you with it because it's you."

"This is really not it. Look how much weight I've lost because I've been so tired lately."

He showed his hollowed cheeks.

"I really need some nutritional supplements."

"That's what I'm saying. My body is not what it used to be. I get tired easily even if I move a little. I also get cold sweats."

Mok Wigun patted Pyeon Jeoksu's shoulder.

"I have something I asked someone to get. So just endure it a little longer."

"Really? Is it something good?"

"You'll really like it. You'll be able to regain your energy right away with that, so let's just handle this matter well."

Pyeon Jeoksu sighed.

"Anyway, I've been through all sorts of hardships since I met this guy."

And yet, his expression was one of anticipation for what he would bring.

"Alright. I'll trust you one more time."

And so, Pyeon Jeoksu went out first, and Mok Wigun packed what he had received from the Family Head and moved.

The place where his footsteps stopped was the Eastern Heaven Merchant Guild. When he arrived, the merchant guild was in an uproar.

"Well. How did you come here?"

"Why? Am I not allowed to come?"

"Oh my. What are you talking about? You can come anytime."

The manager bowed his back and hurriedly guided Mok Wigun inside. And then he called the three people he had seen before again. They all looked anxious.

Mok Wigun took out the wooden sword, held it out in front of the three people's eyes, and said.

"You know what your sins are, right?"
