Episode 987When I put it down, I could see the sky (4)
Three teacups were placed on the table.
Since itâs been a while since we last met, it would have been nice to have a drink, but Yeon Ho-jeong said it was not the time to drink and suggested that we substitute tea.
If you can have a conversation over alcohol or tea, thatâs enough. Kang-ryang personally drove the car, and Jin-yang grumbled that these people donât even know the taste of daytime drinking.
âBut what about you and the others?â
Yeon Ho-jeong laughed bitterly.
âIt will be coming. âI had some work to do so I went out alone.â
Kang-ryang clicked his tongue.
âYou left without saying anything again, right?â
âThatâs how it happened.â
âWhy do you keep doing this to make people feel bad?â
âI am reflecting.â
âIsnât action more important than reflection? Donât think thatâs a big deal. âEvery single one of those things makes people upset.â
âOkay, Iâll try not to do that in the future.â
âYou donât have to tell me.â
âSo youâre not apologizing to me?â
Kang-ryang looked at Yeon-ho-jeong with a confused face.
Jinyang said with a grin.
âCancer apologies should be made to those who have done wrong.â
Yeon Ho-jeong turned his head to Jin Yang.
âHave you lost some weight?â
âI havenât been able to eat anything and all I have to do is cut myself, so Iâm not going to lose weight and Iâm not going to lose weight. No, but why the Murim League? âThereâs a lot of money and a lot of people, but isnât the food too poor?â
âI heard you couldnât eat and all you did was cut? âWhy are you suddenly cursing Su Su?â
âIâm not insulting you, but Iâm just saying the food here is really bad.â
âBut weâve improved a lot, so thatâs enough, right?â
Jinyang frowned.
âItâs enough, but it would be better to train separately from now on.â
The corners of Yeon Ho-jeongâs mouth rose.
âYou can tell without even looking. âYou almost died from being hit by a strong sword, right?â
ââ¦Itâs not like I almost died. But how do you know that?â
âLooking at the two peopleâs martial arts skills, it seems like they actively accepted each otherâs martial principles and attempted to change their Qigong skills as well as herbivory. Wouldnât that require sharing to the level of enlightenment?â
ââ¦.â
âIt seems like you are still one step above me, but your martial arts skills and strong swordsmanship are close to being opposites. âIf Kang Ryang had decided to go into a defensive position and start attacking in an instant, even you would have been at a loss.â
Jinyang looked at Yeonhojeong with curious eyes.
âWhen on earth did you look at my martial arts skills in such detail?â
âIs there a need to concentrate? âYou just know it when you see it.â
âItâs really amazing. This is why I hate geniuses. âHe commits insensible acts with the ease of breathing.â
âYou are a genius.â
âYouâd rather curse. âIs it true that a nobleman, rumored to be the youngest Seongcheon, is selling medicine that doesnât work?â
âI was lucky.â
âItâs done.â
Yeon Ho-jeong saw the sword hanging on the table.
The blade of Jinyangâs long sword was full of rough marks here and there.
Originally, a scimitar was used, but half of the spear was cut off. It was still a size that could be called a great sword, but it looked much sleeker than before.
âStill, itâs amazing. âIn the meantime, you cut off the spear pole and used it.â
âIf you want to use the changed martial arts, Eonwoldo Road is inconvenient. I thought this was because I lacked skills, but that wasnât the case. Fundamentally, the scimitar sword is not suitable for martial arts.â
âSo, did you destroy your beloved soldier?â
âItâs not a pet disease, but⦠a disease is just a disease. âThe center of gravity is a little off, but Iâm used to it so I wonât be able to use anything else.â
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.
âYou are better than me.â
I thought that Jinyangâs attitude of using the Gwangryongbu to suit me, even in anger, was in some ways more warrior-like than his own, which was to throw away the Gwangryongbu without even using it because it was not suitable for his hand.
âJinyang, even so, it would be better for you to change your sword too.â
Kang-ryang shrugged his shoulders.
âIâm so used to it that I canât handle anything else. âWhat if I could become stronger? Iâm awkward.â
The subtle differences between Gangnyang and Jinyang also resembled the differences in the martial arts that each practiced.
Kang Ryang is stronger than his own swordsmanship and will not learn it even if he sees high-level new techniques.
On the other hand, Jinyang will bring the martial arts and take what suits him in the same situation. If you have to discard your existing martial arts skills in the process, you can do so at any time.
It wasnât a question of who was right. The difference between the two was not only a difference in unlearning, but also a difference in enlightenment and personality.
I was already looking forward to the extreme contrast in martial arts skills the two would show when they reached their peak in the future.
âAnyway, heâs grown up nicely. âWe will just have to continue to move forward with that attitude.â
âIâm going to rest for a while.â
âThatâs good too.â
While speaking, Yeon Ho-jeong suddenly felt that the conversation was somehow going beyond the surface.
When I thought about it, the way Kang Ryang and Jin Yang looked at me was a little different from before.
It feels like thereâs some caution. Even though there was something I wanted to ask or say, it felt like I was trying hard to keep my mouth shut.
he asked without hesitation.
âIs there anything else you want to say to me?â
ââ¦.â
The two peopleâs expressions became awkward after just one question.
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
âYou know you guys arenât smart enough to fool anyone, right?â
âYou speak harshly.â
âAt least it doesnât work for me, so if you have something to say, say it.â
Kangryang hesitated without realizing it.
Jinyang scratched his head and said.
âSee, I said youâd know it when you saw it. âYouâve been hanging out with this guy so much, but you still donât know it?â
Kang-ryang grumbled at the sudden reprimand.
âItâs not a matter of how much you know each other.â
âOf course not. So, letâs say it coolly. âYouâll find out anyway.â
âYes, but.â
Yeon Ho-jeong tilted his head.
âWhat on earth is going on?â
Jinyang emptied the car in one go.
âHuh! hot. Fuck the roof of my mouth.â
ââ¦.â
âWhat is this⦠This is the Murim League.â
âIs there an idiot who doesnât know that?â
âThe Murim Alliance is a union of Baekdo political factions.â
Yeon Ho-jeong sighed as he saw Jin-yang spinning around after asking to talk.
âJust say it. What?â
Jinyang quenched his appetite.
âThe disputes have increased a bit these days.â
âdispute?â
âexactly.â
âThe Murim Alliance warriors started a fight with you?â
âThatâs right.â SÑarch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Yeon Ho-jeong frowned.
âIf you donât want to get hit and die, you wonât be able to do that.â
Everyone knows that the two people are close friends with Yeonga.
That alone would be difficult to mess with, but the martial arts skills of the two were those of transcendent masters, and they could be said to be at the level of leaders of the Great Gate Sect.
Kangryang is still growing and may be a bit clumsy, but Jinyang, unlike his frivolous remarks, possesses a force that is ripe for the taking.
Are you going to pick a fight with people like that? Who on earth?
Kang-ryang sighed and said.
âIf itâs natural, itâs natural.â
ââ¦.â
âAs Brother Jin said, the Murim Alliance is an alliance of Baekdo political factions. And Jin and I are from Heukdo. âEven your brother became a minor lord of the Mukryongbu.â
âso.â
Although they were grave, the two felt that Yeon Ho-jeongâs voice had become several times colder.
âThe political faction, the Sacred faction, the white faction and the black faction have been at odds with each other for a long time. In other words, it is impossible to count the clans that have been enemies for generations. âIf you say you are a black swordsman, how many people will pull out their swords and look at you?â
âAnd vice versa.â
âOf course it is. But this is the Murim Alliance. It is in the middle of the inner wall, where the central tissues are gathered. âThere are people who know how to control themselves, but there are bound to be many who would stab themselves if given the opportunity.â
âOf course it is. But theyâ¦â
âThey havenât shown any such expression so far.â
âYes. Itâs not because of me. Not even because I have a father. When the Murim Alliance and the Mukryongbu formed an alliance, such an atmosphere was created for us. âThere is no choice but to fight a bigger enemy.â
âI know. I know everything. But isnât that atmosphere something that can be changed?â
Yeon Ho-jeong couldnât understand.
Of course, as Kang-ryang said, such an atmosphere can change at any time.
But who led the mood?
They were Bonggong and elders, including the central public ambassadors of the Murim League.
Furthermore, all warriors who had ever faced the three religions spoke passionately about their danger. How many Murim warriors actually died at their hands?
At least the damage was stopped because Yeon Ho-jeong and several others killed or drove out the Three Church members in the shadows. If it werenât for Yeon Ho-jeong, who clearly read their actions, there was a good chance that the Murim Alliance would have been destroyed right away.
In fact, public opinion was boiling all over the country asking, âHow dangerous would it be for the Three Qiaoran tribes to join hands with the Mulongbu?â The hostility and fear toward the three religions was so great.
They say the atmosphere can change at any time.
This is especially true in times of peace.
Still, how long has it been since the dissatisfaction with the Black Island has been creeping in?
You can be dissatisfied regardless of other things, but it is not warrior behavior to argue with people who have come to join forces to fight.
ââ¦.â
Yeon Ho-jeong felt the anger that had been sleeping inside his chest blooming quietly.
His anger was one-dimensional. It had to be that way.
They say people have their own circumstances, but letâs put it this way, there are circumstances like this. Gangryang and Jinyang are people who came to Maeng because of their connection. I couldnât help but feel angry at people like that.
âSo what happened?â
Kang-ryang spoke cautiously.
âIt ended well. To be honest, we didnât have any intention of fighting. If you use a knife wrong here, it could cause a crack in the black-white alliance, and honestlyâ¦â â
â¦.â
âItâs a bit difficult to fight with people who are less than a fist away.â
Yeon Ho-jeong sighed inwardly.
Even though he said that, it was obvious how angry he must have been.
If he had touched the person with Yeonga, that is, the person with Sobuju of the Mukryongbu, he would have come out quite strong there as well. Perhaps you have suffered extreme insults.
Whether itâs Gangryang or Jinyang, itâs probably not true. Perhaps Jinyangâs grumbling about the poor quality of food was due to his strong dissatisfaction with the Murim Alliance.
âI also felt that the atmosphere had changed a little. I felt quite a few hostile stares while walking here. âItâs not like it didnât exist before, but it has changed quite blatantly.â
âYou felt it too, brother.â
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was quietly looking down at the teacup, stood up.
âIâm going to visit the soldier for a while. âJust rest.â
âBrother, donât do thatâ¦â
âItâs because of you, but itâs also because of the Murim Alliance and the Mukryongbu. âThe sooner you understand exactly what the atmosphere is, the faster the conflict will be resolved.â
ââ¦.â
âOf course, I will find and bring in all those who have been rude to you. âEven if they had a grudge, they crossed the line.â
âBrother, let me tell you firstâ¦â
That was then.
ââ¦!â
Yeon Ho-jeong turned his head and looked at the gate.
A familiar prayer that I suddenly felt.
It was a prayer that was familiar, but now a little unfamiliar.
Yeon Ho-jeongâs eyes deepened.
After a while.
âLet me guess?â
A low, comfortable voice came from beyond the unopened gate.
âHeâs probably about to go to the military department by now. Maybe Iâm wrong?â
A slightly mocking tone.
Yeon Ho-jeongâs fist gained strength.
ââ¦Moyong family head.â
