142 – Yongbong Branch. (One)

Yongbong Branch. (One)

“It’s like, really.”

I thought as I brushed off the stitches on the ring.

what to do with this

Is it a careless word?

I was paying the price for belittling Elder Lee.

With that gigantic size, he used me in a much more subtle way than I thought.

It was an unexpected twist.

“No, think carefully. Could this not be a ghost?”

What kind of a ghost is going to rust like this and roll around like this.

Even the demon of the volcano I touched last time was treated like shit, so I had enough appearance as a demon.

The faint energy of plum blossoms was proof of that.

“But this is just an antique.”

A ring so rusted that it is impossible to tell what color it originally had.

Even more, the central part where the jewel was supposed to be is empty, so it must be far from the original shape.

Wasn’t it just a mistake by the elder Lee?

I put some silver coins in there by mistake. Surely it will.

[Don’t you want to believe that?]

“Even if you look at it objectively, does this look precious in Noya’s eyes?”

A cluttered ring with no scent or energy.

It looked like it would crumble with just a little bit of force, but there was no way this was a ghost.

shouldn’t have been

[Wouldn’t it be better to show it to the lord first?]

“I am thinking about that.”

Go to the leader right away, is this a ghost? One way would be to ask directly.

‘I have to go to the banquet first.’

Time was running out to cry out resentment over the fact that he had been hurt while looking at the floor.

It was already well past the time for the banquet to begin.

First of all, I put the ring back in my front pocket, hid it deep inside my chest, and then hurried my steps.

Fortunately, the receptionist outside told me that it was not too late, and I was guided and opened the banquet hall.

The inside of the banquet hall is filled with murmurs.

It was already full of warriors of the same age.

There are also those who seem to have had a hard time moving away. Most of them were filled with people who had just crossed the terms and conditions.

So, if I were to argue, it would be almost now in the last generation of the late exponent.

It was a very subtle thing to think of not those people, but the last generation who made a name for themselves in blood.

There were a lot of people in the seat, from people who could roughly know which family they belonged to, to people who didn’t know who they were.

The more you walk past the large banquet hall, the more you see people from the three families you know.

This was an intentional seating arrangement.

Starting from the accommodation in Bacheon Maru, to the waiting room, and then to the seat at the banquet hall.

Discrimination that is obvious enough to be visible.

It was full of the psychology that if you don’t want to suffer discrimination, come up with your own hands.

‘Would I be born as a high-ranking blood relative, or would I be elevated myself?’

Isn’t that ironic?

They must know better than anyone else that it is close to impossible to surpass those who were born into the bloodline of a high family.

‘Where is it?’

I was assigned a seat in the front row.

This is also probably because the recommendation letter was breathed into.

As I walked around looking at the surroundings little by little, I saw a seat where Gu Gujeo-yeop was sitting.

Gujeo-yeop also found me, and our eyes met.

‘Didn’t they receive the same seat?’

It’s located at the top, but it’s not the front row seat.

It was a position to know the gaze of the public looking at Kuga.

‘Originally, since they’re a party, it’s worth attaching them.’

Gujeo-yeop and I seem to have been torn apart.

if you have a little problem.

“You bastard, you were a child of the Gu family.”

It’s just that Hwang Bo-cheol-wi, who had a quarrel the other day, was sitting in the same seat as Gu Gu-jeo-yeop.

Not only Hwang Bo-cheol’s snarling expression, but also Gu Seol-yeop was a bit ‘f*cked’. Seeing them frowning with the same expression, it doesn’t seem like a very good mood.

‘Just endure until the end of the speech.’

No matter how ignorant and stupid Hwang Bo-cheol-wi is expected to be, the leader will appear and start giving a speech.

After that’s over, we’re going to move together to enjoy the banquet, so it’s okay.

He looked away and moved again.

When you pass a certain point, you feel that the atmosphere has changed somewhat.

A noble family, a blood relative of a noble family, or a member of the upper tier that gives huge donations to the Murim Alliance every year.

The front row, where the blood relatives of those who are like the pillars that make up the current Moorim Alliance, is already different from the feeling.

The place I want to go to is the first one among them.

I found Wiseolah and Namgungbia in the distance.

The two of them were winking at me as if they had spotted me earlier.

The corner of his mouth that was about to rise on its own was killed, and he hurried his steps.

As you get closer, you can also see Mo Yong-hee and Dang So-yeol.

Walking like that, I stopped breathing when I saw a person talking to Dang So-yeol.

I see a boy talking with a smiling face in the distance.

For a moment, it seems that the surroundings have become quiet, leading to an illusion.

Starting from the stopped toes, through the Danjeon, a hot breath rose along the back.

As you exhale, the heat mixes with you.

Reason tries to calm down the rampaging bet somehow. When I see the guy standing in front of me, my reason is gradually consumed by the heat.

‘Meteor sword.’

In the past, Wiseol-ah’s fiancé.

A man who was a traitor to the blind.

And.

There is a young figure of the man I most wanted to kill.

How can I stand it?

I can see those disgusting gazes and hands right in front of me.

-Don’t keep forgetting your role. I mean, don’t forget where you are.

I remember the way he spoke with a similar eye smile.

– The floor you’re crawling on. Will you hand over the dazzling world to her? You are a good hero. It must be Mine, right?

-Don’t get me wrong. Nothing belongs to you, neither she nor the world, much less even time.

-It’s not even the Heavenly Demon’s.

A light flickers from the back. It’s a different life then.

I tried to be aware of this more than anyone else.

I was still realizing it. Even so, in the end, there is nothing that can be forgotten.

-It’s all mine. Because I made up my mind to do it.

Just before the battle between the Heavenly Demon and the Divine Sword, the last words the guy in front of me said to me.

still clear

eyes at that time.

His burning desire.

Even though I felt it, I couldn’t do anything.

All of this was still clear.

one step.

I took one step towards him.

He didn’t even know what he wanted to do with him.

at that time.

“what are you doing?”

Took-!

The heat that had been raised at the moment of someone’s hand holding my wrist faded.

I immediately looked at the person holding me.

The shoulder-length short hair catches the eye first.

He met the same black eyes as him.

The girl who met my gaze trembled.

and then the girl. Paeng Ah-hee asked me.

“you. What are you going to do?”

“… I didn’t do anything.”

“Correct your eyes and tell me. Do you know what kind of eyes you’re wearing right now?”

how was my eyes It must not have been nice to see the slight fear on Paeng Ah-hee’s expression.

Life was not indicated.

Fortunately, it seemed to be under control.

“Does anyone know?”

Paeng Ah-hee asks.

I am asking about Jang Seon-yeon, who is at the end of my line of sight.

I shook my head after calming down any remaining heat.

“No, I don’t know.”

“Do you approach people you don’t know with those eyes?”

“Because I resemble the person I hate, without even realizing it.”

“With something like that… ? You still have a bad personality.”

Seeing Paeng Ah-hee frowning in disgust, I felt my mind come back a little bit.

Paeng Ah-hee looks at me like that and says.

“I haven’t seen you in a long time. How is it that you are trying to start an accident, let alone say hello? Should I say it’s you?”

“long time no see.”

“Lying down and being bowed down. done.”

Paeng Woo-jin, whom I met last time, said that Paeng Ah-hee would come too. Just met here.

“I met Prince Peng the other day.”

“I thought Sega would listen to your story until it got stuck in their ears, but… . Don’t talk about that bastard. Because I still get angry.”

Paeng Ah-hee, who shuddered as if she was tired of it, seemed to be exhausted from managing Paeng-wu Jin.

I recognized the cold sweat on my back and soothed my stomach.

‘It was dangerous.’

Whatever the action just now was, I almost did it without thinking.

‘Noya.’

I catch my breath and call Shin Noya. Noya didn’t answer.

He bit his lip slightly. Because it seemed like this for some reason.

Last time in Hwasan, whenever I couldn’t control myself emotionally, I had lost contact with Noya.

Since I ate the flowers I brought from the volcano, I haven’t had a runaway like this.

‘Is it the effect of falling magic?’

I understand you need to eat demonic energy to soothe the conflicting energy in your body.

Could this possibly affect emotions?

Even though it seemed to last for a few months, it somehow felt like the cycle had shortened.

“Where is your seat?”

I winked at Paeng Ah-hee’s question.

Paeng Ah-hee also looked in the direction where the group had gathered and made a slightly surprised expression.

“Somehow, everyone around you is a woman?”

“It’s a coincidence… .”

“That’s right, you don’t have a face that would seduce a woman anywhere.”

“Why are you arguing after seeing each other for the first time in a while?”

“It would be nice, go into the flower garden by yourself. I was already getting the attention of other blood relatives at once.”

When I looked around at Paeng Ah-hee’s words, it was definitely like that. Wherever I went, there was not one person with an eye-catching appearance, but many.

“Your seat.”

Paeng Ah-hee responds with hand gestures.

As expected, Paeng Ah-hee was also in the front row.

“It’s late, so go sit down and talk later.”

I had to make a strange expression at Paeng Ah-hee’s words. Are you talking about it again later?

Perhaps reading my expression, Paeng Ah-hee smiles.

“I heard that you are engaged, but that doesn’t make us blush, does it?”

The breakup of marriage was when I was younger than now. We ended up just fine a few months ago.

It wasn’t even that we were in love.

I wonder if he’s saying that it’s rather comfortable now that the remaining bad feelings have been shaken off.

It was a difficult word to understand with a simple thought.

“And as I said before, I am your sister. Don’t talk nonsense.”

After spitting out a joke, Paeng Ah-hee walks toward her seat.

The leader will come in a little while, so I also had to take a seat first.

‘Thanks to that, I calmed down.’

Looking at the back of Paeng Ah-hee, the gaze naturally

back to the guy

The emotions that boiled over in an instant were easily cooled by such trivial things.

The anger, the resentment, the contempt, and the intent to kill are still there. It’s not as mind-boggling as before.

I was able to keep my sanity. Did you meet Paeng Ah-hee? It didn’t seem like there would be any impact, but it wouldn’t be like that.

I walked away, managing my expression in case it would show.

‘I’m worried about Noya.’

I don’t know if I’ll be away for a long time like last time.

It wouldn’t be strange if it disappeared anytime.

As I approach the place where the party is gathered, Dang So-yeol also finds me.

Dang So-yeol’s expression, which had been cold and rigid, was soon relaxed, and he returned to his usual bright expression.

“Old Confucius… !”

“sorry. It’s late.”

“I was worried.”

As I approached, Seonyeon Jang’s gaze naturally turned toward me.

I spoke to Seonyeon Jang first.

“who are you.”

I couldn’t help but smile when I tried to put my voice to rest.

On the contrary, Seonyeon Jang laughs at my words.

“My name is Jang Seon-yeon from Taeryeong Jangga.”

“If it’s Taeryeongjangga… .”

At Jang Seon-yeon’s introduction, Dang So-yeol and Mo Yong-hee’s eyes change.

I guess so. Because that was the family home of the current Murim lord Jang Cheon.

‘It must have been this time.’

He bit his lip slightly.

Now I felt like I knew why Maeng showed more consideration than usual to the lodgings and later indexes.

At this time, it was the first time Jang Seon-yeon showed her face as a late Ji-soo.

The starting point to show off your ridiculous talent and start making your name right away.

“Yeah, I think we’re talking about my father… . I had no choice but to intervene in Sojeo’s talk.”

Jang Seon-yeon smiles shyly, and Dang So-yeol shuts her mouth.

Apparently, he was talking about the lord.

I shifted my gaze and looked in the direction of Weiseolah.

Fortunately, Wi Seol-ah only yawned indistinctly, and it seems that she did not have any exchanges with Jang Seon-yeon.

“i look forward to. It’s my first time to be in a place like this, so I’m embarrassed.”

Saying that, Jang Seon-yeon held out her hand to me.

I looked at his hand quietly and slowly grasped it.

back.

“… !”

The pressure that goes into your clasped hands. Jang Seon-yeon looks at me with a surprised expression.

“Yes. i look forward to.”

The life that is about to explode right now is in one corner.

Hatred down to Danjeon.

The rough voice was killed, and reason was added to the glowing eyes.

“I am Guyangchen from the Shanxi District.”

There was something he said when he faced a warrior named Rachal at the volcano.

– You should let me know at least the name of the person to be killed.

Why?

Suddenly, the story of that time comes to mind.

Looking at Jang Seon-yeon, I forced myself to raise the corners of my mouth.

“uh. oh.”

Accordingly, Dang Soyeol’s strange reaction was ignored.

And, I didn’t know if it was because I was facing various emotions while enduring them.

The cold eyes of Wi Seol-ah looking at Jang Seon-yeon in the back.
