Somewhere in a certain forest…

A huge claw can be seen being raised in the air and brought down quickly, creating an impact on the land.

The attack follows with a huge blade heading straight for Shang.

Shang dodges it easily as Chun Hyang’s movements are full of openings.

As the fight between Shang and Chun Hyang goes on, Munsu and his new companion, Pang Ja can be seen hanging from a tree branch. Watching over them are Baek Hyang and Yoo Ui-Tae. Bang Ja is still in his unconscious mode and Munsu is watching the fight while chatting with Ui Tae who does not look up from reading a book full of Chinese characters, hoping there would be some details that can help Chun Hyang.

The only information that Munsu got is Shang’s false name, Haedo.

Munsu’s thoughts: Haedo? What kind of name is that? Wait...Sando...Haedo… it cannot be!

Munsu recalls a conversation that he had with his dead best friend, the emperor of Jushin, Hae Mosu about the limitations of what an Angyo Onshi can do. Due to the high death rate of Angyo Onshi, Mosu himself wants to do something about it.

Munsu: Do you need to bother about? I myself personally think there is nothing you can do about it. In my case, a group of three who does not have the ability to take down the leader and the squad of ten is incompetent.

Mosu: You have forgotten what kind of Angyo Onshi we need. Not someone who would simply act recklessly based on a single view and arrest the wrong person. An Angyo Onshi must not have any relations with a certain group or family.

Munsu: Hmm..? Is this why you only choose young commoners, not the young ones from the nobles?

Mosu: Giving the power of Angyo Onshi to the nobles is like giving them the power to do what they. I will never allow it to happen. Commoners should have the ability to wield the power properly as they themselves know the hardship of commoners and will do anything to ease the pain of their fellowmen.

After speaking, Mosu takes one of the brushes from its stand and dips it onto a nearby inkstone before writing on two separate paper.

On one of the papers, two Chinese characters can be seen written from top to bottom

San (Mountain) and Do (Path)

While on the other paper, two more Chinese characters are written from top to bottom.

Hae (Sea) and Do (Path)

Looking at the written papers on the table, Mutsu read the Chinese characters in Korean language.

Munsu: Sando... Haedo…

Mosu: I have thought of other names like Hwado (Fire Path) so that it would match the pung-lim-hwa-san (Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain) strategies from Sonja Byeongbeob (Sunzi’s Art of War) but one of my favorite books named San-Hae-Jing (Classic of Mountains and Seas) caught my eye.

Munsu looks at the two written paper and lit the one which has “Haedo” written on it on fire.

Mosu: Munsu, before you officially become an Angyo Onshi, I will personally give you a verbal order to recruit a member for the “Haedo” position. Please do note that this position and the identity of its holder will not be recorded or known. In other words, the position, “Haedo”, does not exist in the eyes of the world and it only exists in both of our heads. If you managed to find someone who accepts this kind of position, do kindly bring that person back to Jushin. I would like to see that person personally.

Back to the scene where Shang finally decided to stop playing around with Chun Hyang and punch her attacks away, Munsu shouts out.

Munsu: That’s enough, Sando. You can stop now.

Chun Hyang jumps away from Shang and gives Munsu a puzzled look.

Munsu then turns to Yoo Ui-Tae who is still in reading mode.

Munsu: Tell your master I wish to have a word with him.

Yoo Ui-Tae finally looks up.
