Episode 549The wind blowing to the west (3)
Yeonwiâs face was particularly serious as he read the letter.
Zhuge Wenhu said.
âIt seems like there may be a lot of worries about the number of years.â
ââ¦.â
âThey say they have contacted the head of the party separately. Dang Ga-ju will probably go to Sacheon sometime today or tomorrow.â
âI guess so.â
Yeonwi took her eyes off the letter and stroked her chin.
âHave you received any special communication from Guangdong?â
âI was already planning to tell you about that. âThey said that the situation in Guangdong has stabilized and the Uijeong-gun will return soon.â
Zhuge Wenhu asked curiously.
âBut what about Uijeong-gun?â
âno. âItâs just that a thought suddenly occurred to me.â
Zhuge Wenhu knew. The committee has something else in mind.
But Zhuge Wenhu did not inquire further. Yeonwi was not the type of person to say right away when an idea occurred to him. Iâll let you know when itâs fully resolved.
âThe good news is that Baek Byeong-shinâs Makwon decided to join us.â
Zhuge Wenhu smiled.
âMaster Yeon has done something great again.â
Yeonwi laughed bitterly.
âI feel reassured that I am doing my part well. âButâ¦â
Yeonwi trailed off.
Zhuge Wenhu could guess what he wanted to say. Probably all parents with children feel the same way.
âI think we should first hold a meeting and share information.â
âLetâs do it.â
Yeonwi looked up at the sky.
âHey.â
It was fortunate that Yeon Ho-jeong was dispatched to Mukryongbu and was recognized.
However, they were being put into more and more dangerous work. Although I believed in my sonâs abilities, I couldnât help but feel worried.
He knew it too. Worrying about what will or will not be resolved will not change the outcome.
But isnât that how people feel? Yeon Ho-jeong will probably worry the same when she gets to her age.
âYou must be safe.â
Yeonwiâs sigh rode the wind and headed west.
ââ¦.â
The officialâs face as he read the letter was still expressionless.
Tang Sang-ah asked.
âWho is this letter from? From the looks of it, it doesnât look like it comes from a family.â
The official responded by folding the letter.
âItâs cheap.â
âDaesoo Yeon?â
Tang Sang-ah tilted her head.
âWhat did Master Yeon do againâ¦â
âItâs just a personal matter.â
The officer looked to the right. There, Dangyangseon was drinking tea with a calm expression.
For a moment, the magistrateâs eyes glowed with cool light and then became quiet.
âYangseon.â
âYes father.â
The voice was much more dignified than before.
The official nodded and said.
âYour skills have definitely improved. âWherever the awkwardness from before has gone, my momentum has become very solid.â
A look of pride appeared on Dangyangseonâs face.
He knew very well that it would be difficult for such praise to come out of his fatherâs mouth. When my father says this, it means that it has really increased a lot.
âthank you.â
âIs your grandfather doing well?â
âIâve only seen my father twice since he came to the Murim League.â
âtwice.â
âyes. The last time I saw you was three months ago. âHe still corrects it.â
âYesâ¦â
Dangyangseon asked in a slightly lowered voice.
âHave you ever contacted me separately?â
âdoes not exist.â
It was a cutting answer.
The sharp-edged answer was so decisive that Dangyangseon shrank his neck without even realizing it.
Dang Sang-ah said.
âStill, why donât you try contacting me?â
Dangyangseon looked at her with somewhat stiff eyes. I thought that saying something like that in front of my father would make the atmosphere even more tense.
However, the response from the authorities was unexpected.
âThere is no need to contact you.â
âButâ¦â
âAnyway, the Murim Alliance is in a state of semi-return, so wouldnât it be okay to go back to the family and take care of the familyâs affairs at a time like this? âIt would be nice to see your grandfather too.â
Tang Sang-ah and Tang Yang-seonâs faces were filled with surprise.
âAre you going back to your hometown?â
The official said while looking at Tang Sangâer.
âNo matter how much you are in a half-moon state, it is impossible to not have at least one person from your family. âIâll be back for a while, so you can stay behind.â
âMy me?â
âYou are still not good enough.â
The official quenched his thirst with a sip of tea and then spoke.
âBut there is no perfect person in this world. Everyone grows by clashing with the world with a clumsy and clueless spirit. âI was like that and so was your grandfather.â
ââ¦.â
âAlthough it is still not good enough, your martial arts skills have reached a level where I can feel confident. What is important is insight, and unlike martial arts, insight is developed mainly through thorough experience.â
The official glanced at the window.
âI will speak to the head of the Yeonga family separately, so learn a lot from him.â
Tang Sang-ah was embarrassed.
âCan I do well?â
âThink of it as watching and learning. Gangho is rough. This is not a world where you can survive just by being strong in martial arts. âTake advantage of this opportunity to grow fully.â
Tang Sang-ah felt her fatherâs sincerity.
She lowered her head.
âSince my father said so, I will try my best.â
âYes, thatâs right.â
The official stood up.
âYangseon.â
âYes father.â
Dangyangseon was inwardly very surprised.
He knew very well how much his father had rejected his sister. But what about now? Isnât this a much gentler relationship than treating yourself?
I was so surprised that I didnât even feel jealous. Dangyangseon couldnât help but be embarrassed.
âThank you for coming this far, but you have to go back to Sacheon with me.â
Dangyangseon bowed his head.
âJust looking around the Murim League is enough.â
âokay.â
The official nodded.
âWe will leave tomorrow morning. âGet some rest.â
âYes father.â
The party headed to visit.
Tang Sang-ah asked.
âWhere are you going?â
The official answered as if he was throwing it away.
âDonât you think you should at least buy the person who will take care of you a drink?â
* * *
âWhoa.â
Yeonwi smiled and brought a large bowl.
âYouâve waited a long time.â
The bowl on the table contained meat soup that looked quite appetizing.
The official frowned.
âDo you cook now?â
Yeonwi sat down and said. SÑará´h the NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
âYou know how to play Danggaju, right? If you travel alone, you are bound to find various types of food while sleeping on the street. Thatâs when I learned it.â
âItâs good because there are so many things you can do.â
âIt seems like you donât know much about cooking.â
âMy family has a lot of money. âThe attendants took care of it.â
âHaha, thatâs your answer.â
The official smiled and picked up the bottle.
âOne hundred weeks.â
âI know. So itâs surprising. âYou said Baekju was not delicious, so why did you bring it?â
âFor someone who is accustomed to cheap tastes, isnât white liquor better than high-quality liquor?â
âha ha ha!â
Yeonwi smiled and held out a glass. The official filled his glass.
The two people clinked their glasses and emptied them.
The official frowned.
âYou wrote it dirty.â
âSo, are you leaving right away tomorrow?â
âA fortune teller?â
âI donât know Tang Family Lord?â
âI wish I knew more.â
Yeonwi filled the partyâs cup without saying a word.
The official, who was quietly looking down at the glass, asked as if throwing it away.
âHow do you feel?â
âhmm?â
âI was curious about what it feels like for someone who has succeeded in farming their children.â
Yeonwi smiled.
âDonât you know the head of the party well? âItâs rare to find a child as good as Sang-Ah in todayâs world.â
âSang-ah⦠Thatâs right, sheâs a dutiful daughter who never gave up on her ugly father.â
It was an unbecoming statement from our institution.
âThe ivory grew up well on its own. Except when I was young, I never really paid attention to Ivory. In other words, you are not successful in farming your children. âThe child will grow up on his own.â
The corner of the officialâs mouth rose. It was a self-mocking laugh.
âBut my son, whom I cared for and supported in my own way, has completely gone astray.â
ââ¦.â
âHonestly, I was shocked. I knew that his arrogance had gone too far, but ultimately that arrogance was based on trust and affection for his family. âHe always thought his hometown was the best in Jungwon.â
âThere is no one in the world who does not know that Sichuan Danga is the best in the martial arts world.â
âThe best is the best. âIt is the most vicious and scary family.â
ââ¦.â
Yeonwi was speechless.
The official touched the glass with both hands. It will really feel like your mind is collapsing.
âI never imagined that my son would be so foolish that he would be seduced by the enemyâs tricks.â
ââ¦.â
âAnd it makes me dizzy to think that not only Yang Seon but also some high-ranking figures in the main family may have been on the same boat as Yang Seon.â
It was a sight that was difficult to see. Yeonwi thought it was worth it.
The partyâs faith in the party was close to faith. Probably most people in the party are like that.
The Tang family was such a closed family that it was difficult to even compare it to the majority of martial families in the martial world. Although they interact with the world, they are united in pride that their Tang clan is the best.
That belief was absolute, creating a vicious temperament that attacked anything even remotely related to the family.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that the current Sacheondang family was truly one kingdom.
Tang Gwan was the king of such a kingdom, and as a king, he was shocked.
âItâs my fault.â
The official said with a wry smile.
âBefore I could make him realize that his hometown is the best, I had to tell him how rough and rough the world is. âBefore I told you that my familyâs martial arts were the best, I had to make you aware of how difficult it was to learn.â
ââ¦.â
âI taught everything backwards. Even when my son, who had grown up like that, got into all kinds of accidents, I thought to myself that his arrogance was definitely a necessary trait for the next head of the family.â
The official emptied his glass.
Yeonwi silently filled his glass.
âI think I am a worthy head of the family.â
âYou are a great head of the family.â
âHe may be a useful head, but he is not a useful father.â
Yeonwi, who was quietly looking at him, emptied her glass and said.
âThere are situations where no amount of regret is of any use. But there are other cases as well. âI think there are cases where if you regret something and try to fix it, you will definitely improve and develop.â
ââ¦.â
âAnd I think that the relationship between parents and children is clearly the latter.â
âMy family is different.â
âIt could be so. But maybe not. âYou havenât tried it yet, have you?â
ââ¦.â
âBoth the head of the family and I are parents for the first time. âThe beginning is always difficult and you are bound to encounter unexpected situations.â
Yeonwi once again filled the glass that was empty.
âDang Gaju is a good person.â
âI donât want to hear any lip service.â
âIf you are the child of a good person like the head of the Tang family, the child will also inherit the good aspects of his parents. âEven if we went astray at one point, wouldnât it get better if we get it right?â
âThat sounds hopeful.â
âArenât we always dreaming of hope?â
The official looked down at his glass in silence and ate the meat soup.
âItâs bland.â
âWould you like some more salt?â
âItâs okay.â
The official, who had been eating meat soup several times, bowed his head in silence.
Yeonwi, who was quietly watching the restaurant, repeatedly emptied and refilled her glass.
The party official could not raise his head for a long time.
