Episode 287Ready (1)
Three days later.
âNow, letâs rest here today.â
The group that departed yesterday evening reached the Yangtze River.
While he was resting after untying his clothes, Ki Woo-hee approached Muk-bi.
âHeyâ¦â
âYes?â
âHow may I call you?â
Mukbi narrowed his eyes.
âMe?â
âyes.â
âAh, my name is Mukbi, the manager of the Mortal Army.â
âThen Iâll call you Manager Mook.â
âAh yes.â
âItâs no different, Manager Mook. âCurrently, the internal injuries havenât been completely resolved, right?â
âThere is a little bit left, butâ¦.â
âNot a little.â
âyes?â
Ki Woo-hee said with a somewhat stern expression.
âManager Mook is a man of surprising inaction. âIt seems to me that you are practicing using two types of Neigongshim techniques, is that correct?â
There was surprise on Mukbiâs face.
âthatâs right. âHow did you know?â
âI have cared for thousands of patients for over ten years. Many of them were unmanned. âYou can tell quite a few things at a glance.â
âah!â
Mukbi looked at her with new admiration.
Ki Woo-hee shook his head.
âThatâs not the problem now. Looking at the flow of external energy that comes out from time to time, it seems that he has taken care of the inside with good medicine for internal injuries. Even though he looks fine on the outside, the burden on his heart must have become quite strong.â
âyes yes?!â
âCan I take a look?â
Mukbi looked at Yeonhojeong without realizing it.
Yeon Ho-jeong just nodded without even looking away.
âAh yes. âHereâ¦â
Ki Woo-hee, who felt the need to remain silent, soon sighed.
âAs expected.â
âIs it very bad?â
âIsnât Director Mookâs martial arts foundation based on his pupil?â
âThatâs right.â
âYou have trained rigorously since childhood. But thatâs the problem. Through unimaginable training, muscle density has improved amazingly, and cardiopulmonary capacity has surpassed that of humans, but the problem is that the heart is overdeveloped compared to other organs.â
âomg!â
âBut the good news is that the balance of the five organs and six parts is being achieved in its own way thanks to another method of internal energy. âIf it werenât for the Naegongsim Act, I would have had to suffer from measles for several years, even if my life wasnât in danger.â
Mukbiâs eyes wavered.
Another Naegongsimbeop refers to the Hongcheongi taught by Yeon Hojeong. Although it is not one of the most powerful techniques in the world, there is no better technique than Hongcheon when it comes to controlling physical strength and internal energy.
It is said that thanks to Hong Cheon-gi, the five organs and six parts are in balance. I couldnât help but feel truly fortunate.
âThis is something that often happens to people who have improved their physical abilities by continuously exercising their bodies since childhood. âAs the heart is also an organ made of large muscles, overdevelopment of the heart muscle also causes major problems.â
âI seeâ¦â
âWhen you practice internal energy, the five internal organs and six organs automatically maintain balance, so it is difficult to find such cases among internal internal masters. However, Director Mook trained in pupil-centered meditation, so I donât think this balance was achieved.â
âItâs not a big problem, right?â
Ki Woo-hee smiled.
It was a smile that reassured the patient. Just looking at that smile made me think that he had a natural doctorâs personality.
âOf course. As I said, the air resistance itself was so great that even if it continued like this, it would not have been life-threatening. There is also another virtue of Naegongsimbeop. However, this time, I think he was in a hurry and dealt with his internal problems too hastily.â
Ki Woo-hee took out a needle case from his arms.
âIâll give you acupuncture for a moment. âYou may feel tired or numb for about one hour, but it will improve on its own after that.â
âOh, thank you.â
âno. âIt was a great blessing just to bring me here safely.â
In this way, Mukbi received treatment from Ki Woohee.
Mo Yong-woo, who was looking at the two people, asked Yeon Ho-jeong.
âWhat happened?â
âwhat?â
âI heard that you negotiated with Rep. Ki. Didnât you say you would tell me the exact story later? âBut now that I look at it, it looks like theyâve turned this way.â
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
âNot yet.â
âhmm?â
âHe asked for a few days to think about it.â
Mo Yong-wooâs eyes deepened.
âDid Yeonje accept that offer?â
âokay.â
Mo Yong-woo, who was quietly looking at Yeon Ho-jeong, smiled for a moment.
âYou held out well.â
Yeon Ho-jeong snorted.
âNothing was tolerated. Just like my brother said, it seems like he had his own circumstances. âI feel like I want to break my head right away, but thereâs no need to do that.â
âYes, thatâs why I said I held back well.â
âI have to make a decision today anyway. âI said I would wait until midnight.â
Mo Yong-woo nodded.
âI donât want more than that either. âThat shouldnât happen.â
âjoy.â
âIt may be a little embarrassing, but Yeon-je is an outstanding person in all aspects. âBut I thought if you were a little more careful, you could fly much higher than you are now.â
ââ¦.â
âI hope Yeon-je becomes a person who can be patient in times of need in the future.â
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
âThank you. âItâs hard to call it repayment, but Iâll give you a gift too.â
Mo Yong-woo smiled.
âDonât hesitate at the crucial moment. âIsnât that what you want to say?â
ââ¦Can you read my mind now?â
âI heard so much from Yeon-je that I got a seal. But thatâs it. You are right. âYou must not hesitate at important moments.â
âYou just need to know.â
âAndâ¦â
Mo Yong-wooâs eyes deepened.
âItâs not something I want to say right now, but now that I think about it, Iâm saying it because it doesnât seem like something I should say in a separate mood.â
âhmm?â
âIâm talking about the Murim Lord.â
Yeon Ho-jeongâs eyes sparkled.
Mo Yong-woo continued calmly.
âAfter Yeonje told me the identity of âthemâ, I thought about it alone. âDo I really have the qualifications to become the Murim Lord?â
âthere is.â
âHaha, thank you for saying that.â
Mo Yong-woo looked at Yeon Ho-jeong with clear eyes.
âI still feel very burdened by the position of Murim Lord. âI donât think I have the ability to do that.â
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
âIf you say that, itâs okay. âEven if you keep thinking that way, thereâs nothing you can do about it right now.â
âAre you going to keep persuading this Woohyung?â
âYou told me about it before, right? âI will make it happen.â
âEven if I donât want to do it?â
ââ¦.â
âEven if I say I will never sit in the position of Murim Lord?â
ââ¦okay.â
âWhy? âIsnât Yeonje a person who respects the free will of others?â
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
That smile, which seemed somehow bitter yet cold, broke Mo Yong-wooâs heart.
âIf it werenât for you, I think Jungwon would be submerged in a sea of fire.â
ââ¦.â
âA personâs free will should be respected even when an absolute threat approaches. But⦠there are exceptions.â
Mo Yong-woo sighed.
âIâve been curious about this for a long time. âWhat on earth does Yeonje see in me that makes her want to put me in the position of leader?â
âperson.â
ââ¦?â
âLook at the person named Mo Yong-woo himself.â SÑará´h the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
âHey Yeonje.â
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
âIâm on a mission. Letâs leave it here for now. âLetâs go back to Meng and talk about the rest.â
ââ¦Okay, letâs do that.â
Yeon Ho-jeong turned his head.
Kang-ryang was standing there with a blank expression.
âHey man. âWhy are you standing so blankly?â
âA risk! It has to be that way. âOne is receiving treatment, the other is talking about something serious, and I have nothing to do?â
âYou bastard, you donât even know that this is a waste of time. You should have taken that little bit of time and swing your sword or something, but did you just sit there and relax? âThis isnât going to work.â
âOops! Is it training again?!â
âYou wonât see any blood, so donât worry.â
Yeon Ho-jeong took Kang Ryang into the nearby forest.
Mo Yong-woo let out a sigh as he watched the two people disappearing into the distance.
âYeonje. Sometimes, your blind trust is burdensome.â
Mo Yong-woo truly liked Yeon Ho-jeong.
It was not because Yeon Ho-jeong was outstanding or because of any reason. In the first place, he was the one who said that they should become sworn brothers without knowing much about Yeon Ho-jeong.
It could also be seen that the process and results had changed. But Mo Yong-woo thought that was meaningless. In any case, Yeon Ho-jeong was his only biological younger brother.
However, it was burdensome at times.
Or, to be more honest, I was disappointed.
Thereâs definitely something Yeon Ho-jeong didnât tell her. And he still hasnât told me that.
I knew it wasnât because I distrusted myself. However, there were times when I felt disappointed when I had to push for things that were not easy for me to understand.
Mo Yong-woo looked up at the sky.
The red sky combined with the cold night air at sunset was very beautiful.
ââ¦Iâll still wait. Even if the day comes that you betray me, I will never betray you.â
Midnight that night.
âWhat about silence?â
âare you okay. âIf you just pay attention little by little from now on, it wonât be long before your five organs and six parts are perfectly balanced.â
âThank goodness.â
slam!
The Yangtze River was wide.
When viewed from the sky, its width could not be compared to the sea, but at least the Yangtze River seen from the ground was large enough to be reminiscent of the sea.
This was especially true on starlit nights.
âso.â
thud.
Yeonhojeong, who had set up the Gwangryongbu on the ground, spoke in a calm voice.
âHave you made a decision?â
Ki Woo-hee smiled and nodded.
âyes. âI made a decision.â
No matter what decision was made, just looking at their expressions made them feel refreshed. At least he didnât seem to regret his decision.
Yeon Ho-jeong looked at Ki Woo-hee in silence.
Ki Woo-hee closed his eyes.
âI have hated the behavior of the organization I belong to since I was young. And I knew it. âThey know itâs not right and they shouldnât do that.â
ââ¦.â
âBut then and now I still feel the same way. You may think Iâm indecisive, but I believe in teachingâ¦â
That was then.
âShh.â
ââ¦?â
âquiet.â
âyes?â
Yeon Ho-jeong looked around with sharp eyes.
That wasnât all.
Slurp. Slurp.
Mo Yong-wu, who was leaning against a tree and closing his eyes,âs hand went towards the Tangma Great Sword. Mukbi, who was sitting and eating breakfast, was also fiddling with the quiver of arrows on his belt.
The same was true for Gangryang. Although he did not yet have the same sharp sense as them, he was slowly beginning to read the atmosphere of the battlefield.
Yeon Ho-jeong said calmly.
âKi Woo-hee.â
He was the first person to say the first three letters of his name. And Ki Woo-hee didnât even realize it.
âyes yes?â
âI hope this fight gives you something to feel.â
At that moment, Yeon Ho-jeong grabbed her by the collar and threw her at Kang Ryang.
âomg!â
Yeon Ho-jeong shouted to Kang Ryang, who accepted Ki Woo-hee.
âNever let it get taken away!â
It was then.
Fuuuuuuu! Puff poop!
Hundreds of people in black burst out from the surface of the Yangtze River and rushed at the group.
