Episode 948How to untangle a tangled thread (8)

Yeon Ji-pyeong, who was continuously fanning the wood fire, turned her head back at the sudden feeling of popularity.

“Hwang Danju.”

“Can I sit next to you?”

“Of course.”

Hwang Seok-tae did not necessarily treat Yeon Ji-pyeong with the utmost respect because she was So Bu-ju’s younger brother.

He wouldn’t have wanted that in the first place, and unless he was the head of the household, it didn’t suit his personality to act cautiously, even towards his family, even if the person he served was high-ranking.

Hwang Seok-tae, sitting next to Yeon Ji-pyeong, looked at the huge cauldron placed on the fire.

“I was making porridge.”

“The rice was a little different. “I didn’t know how much water to hold, so I thought it would be better to just make porridge.”

“For a patient, porridge is better than bare rice. By the way, I managed to stock up on rice. “I thought we ate slightly different food in Cheonghae.”

Yeon Ji-pyeong, who stopped fanning, said with a smile.

“It seems like all places where people live are similar.”

Hwang Seok-tae, who was quietly looking at Yeon Ji-pyeong, suddenly said something.

“Your father must be very supportive.”

“yes?”

“The eldest son has become an absolute expert recognized by the entire world of the central plains, and the second son has broken through the military sect and started a family at the age of just passing his term. The head of the family is truly blessed.”

Yeon Ji-pyeong blushed.

“My brother says yes, but I still have a long way to go.”

“It’s similar to Lord Sobu.”

“yes?”

“Lord Sobu also strangely underestimated himself.”

A bitter smile appeared on Yeon Ji-pyeong’s face.

“Your brother said the same thing.”

“I don’t know what you think, but in our dark island, there are only two situations when you have to humble yourself.”

“What is the case?”

“If the other person has a higher rank than you or is an expert who deserves respect.”

“That’s usually the case.”

“Or if I want to hide my skills just in case.”

It wasn’t about humility, it was about lowering myself for the sake of absolute survival.

To catch the enemy off guard. To ensure survival at the critical moment by preventing the enemy from properly recognizing my skills.

“Sobuju was a person who did not fit into any of the above categories. On the contrary, he freely reveals his power to the Vice Lord.”

Strong to the strong and weak to the weak.

I can’t think of it in that specific sense, but if you look at it from the outside, it was an action that could easily be interpreted that way.

And to some extent, that was true. However, although he is not a thorough principled person, he is a person who values a certain level of fairness, so if he commits a crime, the only difference is that he is considered a weak person and does not consider the situation.

“But if you say that you are holding your head upright to the Vice Lord, that is not true. It doesn’t seem like he has any intentions in private other than public affairs. “That was really unique.”

“I see.”

“I think of him every time I see him. “How did he become such a monster at such a young age?”

“Your brother is a genius.”

“I thought so too.”

Yeon Ji-pyeong’s eyes widened.

Hwang Seok-tae lifted the lid of the pot and stirred the porridge with a large spatula placed next to him. It was boiling hot.

“It goes without saying that he is talented, but in fact, Lord Sobu’s level and insight are not something that can be dismissed as mere talent.”

“….”

“I also thought that people were born from a different species just because they were different. But it’s too friendly for that.”

“Of course.”

“If I were to compare it, it feels as if an absolute martial arts expert who has lived for hundreds of years has entered a young body. Of course it doesn’t make sense.”

Yeon Ji-pyeong smiled.

“I’ve thought about that once too.”

Hwang Seok-tae nodded.

“No matter what, there will never be another person like that in the world. And looking at you like this, I get the feeling that not just Lord Sobu, but the Yeon family itself, is descended from outstanding blood.”

Yeon Ji-pyeong did not say anything like excessive praise or shame. It was because he felt like his father or older brother’s honor might be tarnished because of him.

In the end, with those words, the two made porridge without conversation. S~eaʀᴄh the Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

After a while.

“It’s done.”

“I see.”

“I will scoop it up and carry it.”

“No, I will order our members to do it. “You set a table and go to Lord Sobu.”

“Is your brother awake?”

“You came to your senses before this. “Did I come here for no reason?”

A look of joy appeared on Yeon Ji-pyeong’s face.

Yeon Ho-jeong, who had been unconscious for two days, finally woke up. Although there were no serious injuries, it was still true that I was anxious.

“Then please.”

Yeon Ji-pyeong, who headed to Yeon Ho-jeong’s temporary residence carrying porridge, flinched.

“Are you here?”

The person who welcomed Yeon Ji-pyeong by checking the pulse of Yeonhojeong was the party official.

Yeon Ho-jeong looked at Yeon Ji-pyeong.

Yeon Ji-pyeong breathed a sigh of relief.

“I’m glad you look okay.”

“I caused unnecessary worry.”

“That’s right.”

Yeon Ji-pyeong grumbled uncharacteristically.

“Is that dead?”

“yes.”

“you?”

“I’m fine because I pick up things and eat them.”

“What about the head of the family?”

“sorry. “I didn’t know you were there.”

The official shook his head.

“I also picked up and ate this and that. “Eat quickly and regain your strength.”

Yeon Ji-pyeong placed a bowl of porridge on the table.

Yeon Ho-jeong said while looking at the party hall.

“I think it’s okay if you stop. “I’m fine, just a little less energetic.”

“That’s why I’m pointing it out.”

“yes?”

The official stroked his chin.

“No matter how much I look at it, it’s so fine.”

Yeon Ho-jeong looked at the party hall with wide eyes.

“Is it a problem that I’m fine?”

“It’s a problem.”

Finally, the party official who laid the foundation for Yeonhojeong folded his arms.

“Senior Makwon may not know, but I know. Even though I couldn’t see it far away, I could feel it. “You defeated the enemy with a power that far exceeded your original skills.”

“You have become very sharp.”

“Even if you reach the ultimate level, you cannot truly show god-like abilities as long as you live in a human body. So do you. In particular, a master who has reached the peak of martial arts may become mentally deranged or his entire body may be shattered if he uses his strength without knowing his limits because the gap between his mind and body grows exponentially.”

The official tilted his head.

“But you’re not like that. There were definitely signs of injury, but he recovered too quickly. “If I had seen him just a few days later, I wouldn’t have even known he had suffered such internal injuries.”

“My body is unique.”

“It’s too good to pass it off as unique.”

“Or maybe it’s because of the martial arts I learned.”

The official laughed.

“Have you learned any magic skills?”

It was said as a joke, but Yeon Ho-jeong couldn’t take it as a joke.

But he didn’t show any signs of it.

“Anyway, congratulations on reaching the final. “I saw that the head of the family had reached his limit, but I had no idea that he would reach his limit during such a fierce battle.”

“You said that too.”

“That’s why I can’t do it to others. “It’s like saying you should grow up by getting past the point of death.”

The official smiled and stood up.

“Take a good rest. “I’ll stop by again later this evening.”

“You don’t have to stop by. “The head of the family needs to rest too.”

“I am not a weakling like you. “After I took a nap, I felt completely better.”

“If you’re feeling well, shouldn’t you take a look at your martial arts skills?”

“You must be young.”

The official left the room.

Yeon Ho-jeong sighed and stood up.

“Brother, is it okay for you to wake up?”

“Okay. “In fact, I feel like I have some energy left after sleeping well for two days.”

“ah.”

“I will eat well.”

“Oh yeah.”

Yeon Ho-jeong immediately sat down on a chair and started eating porridge.

Yeon Ji-pyeong, who was sitting across from Yeon Ho-jeong and watching Yeon Ho-jeong, handed me a bowl of water next to her.

“Let it cool before eating. “It’s still hot.”

“Are you okay?”

It was a random question, but Yeon Ji-pyeong calmly accepted it.

“Of course it’s okay.”

Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.

“Not the body. “I’m asking you if you’ve resolved your disappointment.”

Yeon Ji-pyeong scratched his cheek.

“I wasn’t that disappointed even then. “It was just a little frustrating.”

“I guess so.”

“I’m just embarrassed that I didn’t know what everyone else knew.”

“Each person’s situation and environment is different. What I learned is different and my personality is different. Of course, you can’t know everything that others know.”

Yeon Ho-jeong said while mumbling.

“The important thing is to try to be enlightened in order to learn.”

“yes.”

“Congratulations.”

I’m talking about going beyond martial arts.

It was truly the greatest joy for a martial artist to overcome the barrier of martial arts and overcome human limitations. Considering Yeon Ji-pyeong’s age, it is not surprising that the party lasts for several days.

However, Yeonhojeong’s congratulations were simple.

And Yeon Ji-pyeong learned another thing from Yeon Ho-jeong’s behavior.

‘For my brother, martial arts is both a purpose and a part of life.’

No one throws a party because they ate food they had never tried before or read a book they had never read before.

For Yeon Ho-jeong, breaking through Mujong was exactly that. It may not have been true before, but it is now. That’s why the congratulations are so simple.

Yeon Ji-pyeong found his older brother’s attitude admirable. I didn’t do it intentionally, but I thought it was worthy of respect because it was a show of wear and tear and self-discipline.

“There will be many trials in the future.”

“yes. “I am prepared.”

“Each person’s attitude toward trials is different, whether they take it seriously, overlook it lightly, or think of it as fun.”

After saying those words, Yeon Ho-jeong concentrated on eating again.

Doesn’t give a clear answer. However, Yeon Ji-pyeong could tell his brother’s intentions.

Since each person has a different attitude toward accepting certain phenomena, it meant that you should also accept trials and grow in your own way.

Yeon Ji-pyeong, who was quietly looking at Yeon Ho-jeong, smiled brightly and said.

“thank you.”

“I’m going to pretend, you bastard. “Don’t say such harsh words at the dinner table.”

“You must become a person who knows how to convey your sincerity at any time and at any moment.”

“Think about the other person.”

“I give it to you because I know you will accept it. “I also have that level of insight.”

Yeon Ho-jeong smiled and drank water. By now, I had finished eating the porridge.

“What about the others?”

“Everyone is resting. “I didn’t show it, but it was a very long trip.”

Furthermore, he was unable to rest in time and was in a life-or-death situation. Nevertheless, there were no deaths other than a few seriously injured patients, so it was truly an incredible crime.

“What about Confucius?”

“Ah, Prince Cheon…”

Yeon Ji-pyeong sighed.

“I am very sad.”

Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.

“i get it. “You too, go and get some rest.”

“All right. “Let’s have dinner together later.”

“OK.”

Yeon Ji-pyeong walked out carrying an empty porridge bowl.

Yeon Ho-jeong, who was left alone, walked to the window.

Outside the window, I could see rugged mountains and wide plains. The plain stretched so long that it was difficult to distinguish between heaven and earth.

‘It must have been cold, but they managed to open a window in a place like this.’

Yeon Ho-jeong, who was looking around the world in silence, suddenly looked up at the sky.

It was dark but not very cloudy. It was a truly strange sky.

‘When will this fight end?’

Yeon Ho-jeong, who had been looking up at the sky for a while, turned around. I’m thinking of resting a little longer.

It was then.

“…?!”

Yeon Ho-jeong felt the yellow dragon coiled in her chest suddenly raise its head.

‘What?Why suddenly?’

Woooooo!!

A sound that no one in the world can hear, only Yeon Ho-jeong himself.

Yeon Ho-jeong, surprised, turned his head out the window.

“…Yellow dragon?!”
