Episode 261Discovery of Fire (5)
ââ¦.â
The silence between father and daughter was longer than expected.
The warm tea was already cold. The tea scent that filled the room slowly disappeared.
How much time has passed like that?
âItâs pretty late.â
The official spoke in his characteristic stubborn voice.
âItâs already been a few days since you went deaf, so why bother coming to say hello to Abby?â
Tang Sang-ah answered in a calm voice.
âI belong to the Tangma Army. âI had to return to Tangma County and complete my schedule that I had put off.â
âBefore you are a Tangma soldier, you are a member of the Tang family.â
âHe was planning to give up the Tang clan and send it to Commander Moyong.â
ââ¦.â
âI already gave up the Tang family name halfway. Could it be that I misunderstood?â
The officialâs cheek twitched.
âSo, have you decided to marry Commander Moyong?â
âNot yet.â
bang!
The table shook and the teacup fell over.
The sound of tea dripping onto the floor caused a strange discomfort.
âThe reason I turned a blind eye to your self-indulgence was because you were my child and the Tang clan. However, if you truly abandon the Tang family name, then from then on I will no longer treat you as a child.â
âYou already talked about that before going out.â
âWhat?!â
âIâm telling you clearly, it was the father who tried to kick out his daughter by citing the family history.â
ââ¦!â
âI am the one who should be upset and angry, so why does my father keep getting angry? âYou really donât think of me as a soulless doll, do you?â
ââ¦if it was a doll.â
The official growled.
âIf I were a doll that couldnât speak, I wouldnât have asked you to understand my choice.â
âI understand. But the disappointment and anger are all mine.â
âyou!â
âfather.â
Tang Sang-ah smiled and said.
âDonât be angry with me.â
ââ¦.â
âYour father brought it all on himself. You must take responsibility for what you have done. I definitely learned that way when I was young. âTo my father and no one else.â
The officerâs fist gained strength.
Dang Sang-ah continued.
âI actually came here to get angry, but seeing my father like this makes me suffocate.â
ââ¦scram.â
âLetâs take responsibility first.â
âWhat responsibility!â
âIt should have been me who was angry, but instead you stabbed me in the chest. âYou have to take responsibility for it.â
The official felt dispirited.
âAre you threatening me with such nonsense?!â
âIf you donât want to take responsibility, how about a favor?â
âwhat?!â
âIf you still think of me as Mr. Tang, would you please do me a favor?â
ânoisy! âI will no longer consider you my child, so get here nowâ¦!â
âThere is one person I rely on a lot as a person. Oh, donât get me wrong. âThere are no feelings of love.â
ââ¦?!â
âWould you please meet that person?â
Tang Guan glared at Tang Shangâer without saying a word.
Tang Sangâer took out the letter from her arms and placed it on the table.
âThis is my last request as a child. âI hope youâll listen.â
ââ¦.â
âI wonât be visiting you again in the future. Please take care of yourself.â
After saying those words, Tang Sang-ah stood up.
There was no hesitation whatsoever in turning around and walking. The official thought as he watched his daughter take a step toward calming down.
Although the relationship is stained with hatred and resentment, Tang Sang-er is also a member of the Tang family. That stubborn determination is something that no one can show.
The official said before Tang Sang-ah left the door.
âGiving up the Tang family name is the same as saying that you will give up all the martial arts of the Tang family that you have learned.â
ââ¦.â
âI think you understand what I mean.â
âMatriarch.â
I call him matriarch, not father. The official felt his face turn red.
Tang Sang-ah smiled.
âThis is a life you have already given up before setting off.â
ââ¦!â
âIf you want to take it, please do so. âLetâs wait.â
thud!
The door was closed.
The official, who was glaring at the door with eyes full of anger, soon let out a sigh.
âYou are better. âIt seems like you are more poisonous than this father who points his finger at the whole world for being poisonous.â
The official, who had been mocking himself for a while, suddenly turned his attention to the letter on the table.
He was looking at the letter and stretched out his hand.
* * *
Whiiiiing.
The sharp wind that swept through tree after tree, dulling the blade, brushed against my collar.
Before I knew it, the sunset was setting across the sky. The sun sets significantly earlier in winter than in summer.
The personâs face was also red as he looked at the blood-red sky.
âItâs red.â
It was quite a beautiful view. Although it was a forest that was not well known even within the Murim League, it had surprisingly beautiful scenery.
Of course, the hotel was not in a state to comfortably enjoy the scenery. It was because I still felt uncomfortable from the conversation with my daughter a while ago.
âI was the one who abandoned it firstâ¦?â
The doctorâs eyes were bloodshot.
âAre you throwing it away? Donât express it that way. The owner of the main house can only be a man. No matter how much you accumulate flying and crawling skills, you will never be able to become the head of the family.â
My daughterâs face came to mind.
My daughterâs face was always smiling, but underneath it all, she carried a deeper sense of emptiness than anyone else.
âFather was wrong. Keeping family traditions is not a simple thing. Tradition is meaningful in itself.â
For the sake of tradition, if the family can shine on a solid rock, they will be stubborn or obstinate. And it will pour deadly poison into the mouths of those who click their tongues while watching it.
âI am not wrong!â
It was then.
Sabak. Sabak.
The sound of stepping on snow was heard from afar.
âYouâre here.â
The official turned around.
âWhat kind of guy is thisâ¦â
At that moment, the officerâs eyes widened.
âYou?!â
âItâs too much to say that it was you from the beginning.â
Young Yeon Ho-jeong smiled calmly.
âHow are you?â
ââ¦Surely it was you who asked my daughter to meet me?â
âexactly.â
Pusssss.
An eerie dark green glow emanated from Tang Gwanâs body.
The party was extremely angry and had no choice but to reveal the enormous power it had kept hidden until now.
Cheeeeeeeee!
The five-field radius of the land on which he stood began to melt at an alarming rate.
Not only did the snow melt. Even the surface of the frozen ground became soggy.
Admiration appeared on Yeon Ho-jeongâs face.
âThis is truly an amazing attack. âIt seems like youâve become even more toxic than before?â
âHow dare you use my daughter to call me out?â
âItâs a bit difficult for me to have to take advantage of my daughter, who has common sense, just to meet someone like you.â
âWhat?!â
âThatâs it. Isnât good good good? âLetâs leave that bizarre energy behind and just talk to me.â
âThis guy!â
âor not.â
Flash!
Life flashed in Yeon Ho-jeongâs eyes.
âWould you like to calm down if two curse words come out of this little guyâs mouth like before?â
ââ¦!â
âI have not yet forgotten the Hongyohoe incident. Of course, I decided to bury the matter, but the feelings remained. âI canât help but criticize you for being narrow-minded.â
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled brightly.
âDonât let harsh words come out of your mouth. You have already walked a long way. Listen to what you have to say and then go.â
âWrong.â
âhmm?â
âI came here at the request of my daughter, but if I had known it was you, I would never have come. In other words, you stole the time of the head of the Four Thousand Danga Family.â
Slurp.
The poison that had been spreading in all directions was instantly returned to his body.
It was surprisingly fast. Releasing this much power at once was an incredible feat, but collecting the released energy in an instant was also impossible with ordinary enlightenment.
Indeed, the head of the Sicheondang family. It was a skill worthy of claiming to be the master of the Sixth Generation.
âIt is up to me to judge whether it was worth coming here. âIf itâs not that important, I will turn you into a handful of blood, even if it means putting you in prison.â
It was a voice full of sincerity. His eyes were not filled with pride or rolled with anger like before.
Living quietly and fatally. Tang Gwan truly decided to kill Yeon Ho-jeong.
âThatâs interesting.â
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
âI tried to attack him after shaking him up with nonsense, but he was already shaken like he was going to be shaken, right?â
Somehow, I felt like I knew the reason. His feelings were probably very complicated after his conversation with Tang Sang-ah.
âI doubt if you can kill me with your skills.â
âWhere would you like to check?â
âOkay, OK. However, I am also a busy person, so letâs get to the point first.â
Before the official had time to reply, Yeon Ho-jeong continued.
âWhat do you want? âMaengju?â
ââ¦?!â
âLetâs hear the answer first.â
The officialâs expression suddenly changed.
No matter how angry I was, there were words I could ignore and words I couldnât ignore.
The public officials were already busy keeping an eye on each other due to the upcoming elections next year. In such a situation, you suddenly want to become a leader?
ââ¦What kind of nonsense is that?â
âYou donât know that you also have a desire for power. However, I know what Mr. Moyong wants, but I donât know what kind of position you want.â
ââ¦!â
âTell me. âIs it the position of Murim lord that you want?â
âI knew for a long time that he was a cocky guy, but this is truly beyond my imagination.â
âWell, since he is the head of stubborn idiots who mistakenly believe that the Sichuan Dang Family is the best in martial arts, there is no way he would be interested in the leader position. âIâll move on.â
âCrazy guy! Are you really crazy because you want to die?!â
âYou can never escape the Murim Alliance.â
âwhat?â
âYou must have known that Prince Moyong had begun preliminary work to slander the public ambassador, right?â
ââ¦?!â
The officialâs eyes suddenly changed.
Yeon Ho-jeong was able to see through the change like a ghost.
âI do not know?â
Even if it was really Mr. Moyong who did it, the authorities may not know.
To be exact, I thought it was a 50% chance. Since the nature of the hotel was so sharp, there was probably no need to take the risk of informing them.
At the same time, things can go much more smoothly if our office helps. So I thought it was a 50% chance.
âIt may not have been Moyong-gunâs doing. However, there is a high probability that it was Moyong-gunâs doing. Thenâ¦â
The corner of Yeon Ho-jeongâs mouth rose.
âIt seems Moyong didnât tell you. âThen it seems I was right.â
âWhat bullshit are you talking about?â
âMoyong-gun will not let you go. The reason is because you want to become powerful in a subject that has no interest in being the Murim Lord.â
ââ¦!â
âDo you think you have formed an alliance with Prince Moyong? gibberish. âMaybe you think you can control Moyonggun as you wish, but in reality, itâs the opposite.â
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
âDo you know that Mr. Moyong is taking good care of it so that he can use it as a throwaway card?â
ââ¦!!â
âIf we reveal that we planned to slander this public ambassador, who do you think Prince Moyong will point to as the culprit?â
The officialâs eyes wavered.
Yeon Ho-jeong said in a gloomy voice.
âTo Prince Moyong, you are ultimately just another ally.â
