152 – Friendship Bimuje. (5)

squeak.

squeak.

– aaagh!

A scream spreads along with a creepy sound.

The ground was full of cut flesh, and blood dripped on top of it.

They pray that the disaster will be deflected, but reality does not listen to their wishes.

It just runs carelessly.

– Live, live… .

Awesome!

Even the head of the person who ran away was cut off.

Blood is splattered wildly in all directions, but not a trace remains on the criminal’s clothes.

It was a strange look, as if a drop of blood was avoiding it.

The man who was hiding behind the wall and watching this grabbed his trembling shoulders and ran in the opposite direction.

The frightened legs did not listen easily, but had to force themselves to move.

‘Come on, I need to inform the main palace… !’

that a monster appeared

that the plan needs to be revised.

‘How did you know?’

The man couldn’t understand.

I heard about the collapse of the Shaanxi branch a few months ago.

It was because the stupid bloody beast did something different from the will of the palace.

He said he was only beaten because he was ignorant of it.

Didn’t he even lose an important flower?

Naughty kid. The man thought so, recalling the wild bloody enemy at the time.

There and here are different.

They didn’t kidnap unmanned people, and as Shaolin and Murimmaeng were nearby, they moved more secretly and left no traces.

The Fall of Heaven.

In other words, it is a place that even the master of Shaolin, who is said to read the heavenly spirit, did not notice.

‘Then what the hell… !’

So what is that monster?

How the hell did he find out and raid?

even alone.

Pudeudeuk.

The man gave strength to his legs and at the same time bit his teeth.

I recall the face of the branch manager whose throat had been cut off just before.

I saw with my own eyes that a warrior who should have reached the pinnacle of maturity was destroyed with just one sword.

‘The sword… Was he holding a sword?’

I didn’t remember.

Everything was blurred by the thick horror.

just ran

The only thing in the man’s mind was the need to inform the palace.

‘little bit more… !’

It wasn’t long before the entrance to escape.

It’ll be fine if you just go over there… .

squeak.

pop… ! Degurur… .

The man who was running toward the entrance suddenly fell off his neck and threw his body to the ground.

The last surviving member of the branch died just like that.

that buck… .

In the branch, where only silence reigned, the sound of calm footsteps resonated exceptionally loudly.

Even after slaughter dozens of unmanned people, not a single scratch remains on the culprit’s body, and he looks clean.

A corpse lay on the floor that seemed to have been brutally cut with a knife, but the sword was not in the hand of the person who created this situation.

“Sorry.”

A weak voice echoes through the cave in the hollow atmosphere.

Apology to whom?

The one who was left alone continued to talk to himself.

“You can borrow your body as you like. You did this with your own hands.”

Whoever she speaks to doesn’t hear it.

Because I didn’t want to see it, I’m half-forced to bed now.

“… I’m really sorry, but I’ll ask for a little more.”

Can’t stay long anyway.

This was almost the last time I could use this child’s body.

I knew that the more I did, the faster the time would go.

I had to do it nonetheless.

There will be no belated atonement.

This child will take over the karma of the previous day.

At least if so. very little.

I wanted to remove even a single stone from the road he was going to.

Even though I wondered what would change now, I had to do it myself.

I should do this too

Because that’s what I’m here for. The girl came out of the darkness and infiltrated into the light again without anyone knowing.

The steps were quick. More than anyone else.

“You have to stand!”

Hanam County kept its bright light even as time passed and night fell.

There were still many people, and Hongwa was relieved among the crowd.

“Where have you been!”

Hongwa quickly ran and hugged Wi Seol-ah.

“Your sister was worried… !”

“Aww… sorry… .”

“If you keep worrying about your sister like this… . I won’t help you next time.”

“Hey… .”

“Even if it’s Grandpa’s job… .”

“sorry. sister… . I won’t do that next time. I was lost.”

Seeing Wi Seol-ah’s tearful expression, Hong-wa tried to say something more, but couldn’t help but let out a sigh.

“… Did you finish running errands?”

“no!”

“What?”

“Sure! It’s okay if you don’t do the rest!”

“… No, no. I hope you’ve done it. Let’s go. Because my smokeless brother is sweating profusely this winter and worrying… .”

“yes!”

As she walked along Hongwa’s hand, Wiseolah’s expression turned to a fierce look that could be seen from afar.

I didn’t lie.

Say you can’t do the rest. Because there was no need to do it now.

‘After he got everything from this job.’

After you get everything you want to get.

Then it was something to do.

In Wi Seol-ah’s cold eyes, Jang Seon-yeon comes to mind.

He won’t kill him this time.

i can’t exactly

So, it was something you had to do.

The karma and burdens he should have received in his previous life will also be dispersed with him.

‘Say sorry. I can’t do that either.’

It’s something I’ve been wanting to do someday.

Please if the opportunity comes to you.

If only we could meet one more time.

I saw his eyes and said what I wanted to say.

‘You know I shouldn’t dare to ask for an opportunity like that.’

I rode the cold air and blew it with regret in my breath.

A meeting like this would not be desired by him.

You won’t want this child either.

He is just a trace left behind by regret.

So I shouldn’t have had any more intentions.

Wi Seol-ah moved her gaze to Hong-wa again.

My hands are cold, and I can see my reddened ears.

Swoop.

The only thing he could do was to send a little bit of heat with sorry feelings.

“Well?”

Hongwa looks at Wiseolah, perhaps feeling strange.

“You have to stand.”

“yes?”

“uh… . did you do something?”

“yes… ? Which one?”

When Wi Seol-ah asked with bright eyes, Hong-wa tilted her head slightly and looked back.

The winter evening passed quietly as if nothing had happened.

****************

A new bracket came out during the day and time passed.

It was enough time for those who had performed the dance to take a break and eat.

When we were passing the time, Dang So-yeol came out of the doctor’s room and said.

“Old Confucius… . I’m sorry I couldn’t cheer for you during the day.”

“Because it doesn’t matter. Please don’t make that face.”

Speaking bluntly, Tang Xiaoyeol’s shoulders shook slightly.

It was that kind of reaction every time I heard rude words from earlier.

‘Why are you doing that.’

Even when he told me to let go, he didn’t let go.

I said it was okay to let go, but he refused, saying it seemed like cheating.

what a foul… ?

He was someone I really didn’t know.

I kept eating dumplings because I wanted to fill my stomach.

In addition to Dang So-yeol and Namgung-bia, there was another guest who visited the barracks.

These dumplings were also brought by that guest.

The guest said it was absurd.

“… I thought it was just a coincidence, but was it really a woman twisted?”

“Why are you fighting as soon as you come back?”

“I complimented you, you fool.”

She is a girl with dark black bobbed hair who looks a bit wild.

It was Paeng Ah-hee who stopped me at the banquet the day before yesterday.

“Anyway, I came to watch it, and the habit of talking is… .”

“therefore. Why did you come?”

“I told you. He said he came to watch.”

I was really embarrassed when Paeng Ah-hee went to the barracks with something to eat.

Because it came out of nowhere.

Even with dumplings.

“I heard you don’t even participate in the dance.”

“Another half word.”

“Yo.”

“… No, just don’t do it.”

He says something with a more contemptuous expression.

He told me to do it, but why are you being temperamental again?

“Anyway, I was only going to come to the banquet this time. It was obvious what the family head would say if he didn’t go. My older brother said he was leaving for work, so I just followed him.”

It seemed that it would have been because of the personality of the family head of Paengga.

A man like a huge bear with a fiery temper came to mind.

‘It’s unusual that such children came out with that man’s face and personality.’

It was just by looking at his face.

Paeng Woo-jin and Paeng Ah-hee were handsome, but that nobleman was a bit distant from them.

‘From my point of view, the mother’s side must be insanely pretty.’

Even Paeng Ah-hee was the son of a concubine, so it must be that both wives are pretty.

“What are you looking at? What did you put on your face?”

“No, nothing. So what happened?”

“I didn’t come to see you. I came to see a friend.”

“friend?”

Paeng Ah-hee’s gaze turns to Dang So-yeol. Then, Dang So-yeol ate the food and coughed.

Paeng Ah-hee also opened her mouth as if she had been waiting.

“You’re very nice.”

“… big… greatness… .”

Were you two acquainted?

Paeng Ah-hee looked at Dang So-yeol and said.

“Does the rice go over?”

“… that… .”

“I heard you lost from the first match?”

“… yes.”

“Good job! He was very, very confident.”

Dang Xiaoyeol covers his face with green hair as if he has nothing to say.

It was as if he wanted to hide in a mouse hole.

Paeng Ah-hee sighs as she sees Dang So-yeol.

“… Are you okay?”

“yes… . I am not hurt.”

“I see.”

“…”

“It’s a joke. The opponent must have been very strong.”

At Peng Ah-hee’s words, Dang So-yeol was moved to tears.

Even so, he picks up dumplings and eats them.

“… Are you very hungry?”

“… Yes, porridge doesn’t taste very good.”

“I thought so, so I bought it.”

“thanks… .”

Dang So-yeol makes a droopy expression as if he had been hit by rain.

Paeng Ah-hee looked at Dang So-yeol and then moved her gaze toward me.

“He’s a good boy even if he’s not mean.”

“Ah, Ah-hee!”

At Paeng Ah-hee’s words, I put on a strange expression.

“Cheap? Have you ever been rude?”

“What?”

At my words, she made a strange expression to become Paeng Ah-hee.

But in reality, Dang So-yeol never showed that kind of attitude to me or to my party.

Rather than being disrespectful, it seemed that he was trying to take care of it.

Upon hearing that, Paeng Ah-hee looked at Dang So-yeol with a frightened face and said,

“you… Wasn’t that a fake joke?”

“Oh no! What a pretense!”

“This wild girl… The world should know what your personality is like.”

Dang So-yeol widened his eyes as if he was unfair, but Paeng Ah-hee did not erase his expression.

I could tell by looking at it.

That means the two are very close.

“Soyeol, I thought your taste was really strange, but I didn’t know that this would turn out like this.”

“… what am i

“Tell me what are you doing? All in all… .”

Paeng Ah-hee looks down at me from above and scans me. Something feels really bad… ?

“You be careful too.”

“What… ?”

“Be careful when sleeping at night. If a gift comes in from the dangmun, if possible, don’t eat it, and the head of household there is Soyeol… .”

“Hey!”

Dang So-yeol, who could not stand it, shouted with all his strength.

Perhaps because of that, Bia Namgoong, who was sleeping in the back, woke up slightly.

“Oh, what a surprise!”

Seeing that, Paeng Ah-hee was startled as if she hadn’t known Namgoong-bia was there.

It was literally a mess.

“Um, why is he here again?”

“Drowsy.”

As soon as I finished, the person who was supposed to go on stage said he was sleepy and went to sleep.

‘Is it because the opponent is the opponent?’

For reference, Namgoongbia’s opponent was Gu Gujeol-yeop.

Thanks to this, Gu Gujeo-yeop, on the contrary, will be crouching down somewhere with a crying face.

“But why in your barracks… ah.”

It seemed that he realized that Namgoongbia and I were engaged while we were talking.

Of course, that can’t be the whole reason why he’s doing that here.

“still… . Shouldn’t you be here?”

The reason why I notice it slightly is that my opponent is Cheonjun Namgung.

Namgoongbia didn’t seem to care, but it was a little different from my point of view.

Shouldn’t she be secretly at Namgoongbia for the sake of other people’s eyes? I asked.

Namgoongbia heard that and raised her eyebrows! He crumpled and lay down and went to sleep.

It’s as if he’s expressing with his whole body that he doesn’t like it.

Paeng Ah-hee looks at Namgoong-bia who doesn’t say anything and continues talking as if she’s trying to lighten the mood.

“Well, after all, a relationship is a relationship… . Which one would you rather support?”

“… I am not rooting for you.”

Namgoongbia quietly replied to Paeng Ah-hee’s words.

“… You don’t have to.”

In a way, it was a firm and cold statement.

Paeng Ah-hee also shut her mouth for a moment.

Otherwise, I knew.

There may be some misunderstandings due to my lack of vocabulary, but from my point of view, it meant ‘I will do well even if I don’t have to do that.’

“anyway… .”

It’s a problem because you forgot all the words before and after. There seemed to be no intention of fixing it.

It wasn’t until now that I came, but I didn’t care.

In a slightly awkward atmosphere, an attendant delivered a message through a crack in the barracks door.

“Bocchan, time is running out… .”

“Oh, I’ll leave now.”

I thought it was time to go out, so I stopped eating and played some bets inside.

The fever rises slightly, and over time, the relaxed body becomes tense again.

It just means it’s in good condition.

The place I went to following the guide showed a clear difference from the place where I had performed the dance before.

First of all, it was much wider.

It looks much tighter. It must have been made of good material so that it would not be crushed and eaten while making a sword.

It certainly didn’t seem like it would break easily. It’s easy.

I climbed the stage slowly.

Then there was a muffled sound all around. Full of spectators even in this cold weather.

Anyway, why do you like watching fights so much?

“Are you a kid? A child like that climbed the Palgang?”

“How did you get there? Were you lucky?”

“I heard that the shaman’s later index also lost to that child… .”

“Not anywhere else, that… a shaman? No way, it must be a rumor.”

Those who gathered as if to watch included not only the later exponents who came to the banquet, but also others.

It must be a merchant in Henan who supports Meng or something like that.

Because they won’t show it to civilians.

“Shanseo-gu… ? If it’s Shanseo-gu, isn’t it a friendly family?”

“Five… . Did Hohyeop stay?”

“But why was it not known until now… . Or is it collateral?”

“Yeah, man! How did the room go up there? If he was Hohyeop’s son, he would also be Geombong’s younger brother. Ho-hyeop is simply lucky as a child.”

“Huh… . If that’s the case, it’s even more pitiful.”

“What do you mean?”

“No matter how good it is, the opponent is the opponent, so it probably ends here. I mean, that’s kind of sad.”

The man who was watching answered as he saw a young man coming up from the other side of the stage.

“Even if the child is talented, it won’t work for him.”

A gray-haired young man with a chiseled appearance came up on the stage.

Gold embroidery on a blue uniform.

The cool bets and moderate body movements that can be felt little by little make many people exclaim in admiration.

The young man is the most famous swordsman in Jungwon.

The center of the four generations of the Jungwon faction.

Namgung Cheonjun, the brain dragon of the Daenamgung family.

He was shining his eyes on the stage.

Sureureung.

The sword body, which is slowly drawn from the sheath, shines in the moonlight.

It was said that it was a sword issued by the Moorim League, but since the teeth holding it were handsome, it gave off the feeling of a famous sword.

While I was preparing, Namgung Cheonjun suddenly looked at me and started talking to me.

“A foolish bastard.”

The reason why the voice that should have been spoken softly can be heard clearly up to here is because there is a bet in the voice.

The referee hasn’t come yet.

Namgung Cheonjun was speaking with a bet as if whispering so that the audience could not hear.

“It’s commendable that you’ve come this far, but you’re such a dull-witted guy.”

“Brother-in-law. You don’t talk too much about talking to your brother-in-law.”

“this… !”

Namgung Cheonjun tried to get angry at the words he said casually.

As expected, I didn’t like hearing the word ‘brother-in-law’ very much. Why do you want to scream after you have a fight?

If you don’t like it, you have to do more.

Namgung Cheonjun, who seemed to be trying hard to calm down, spoke again.

“Didn’t I tell you, if you don’t want to hurt your nose, abstain before meeting me.”

“My nose is not very big. Are you shorter than your brother-in-law?”

“… It seems like you still have a nimble tongue and you still don’t know the subject.”

The posture of holding the sword is slightly different.

I prepare movements that are easy to move at any time.

It didn’t even look very sincere. Why are all the bastards of the Myeongga on their guard?

Since blood relatives are doing that, they will be destroyed in the future.

Namgung Cheonjun, who had no idea what I was thinking, just continued talking.

“Do you really think what happened in Sacheon is that you defeated me?”

“What happened? Oh, my brother-in-law was beaten by me and then crawled on the floor?”

“… It would have been easy to decapitate you if I could have wagered.”

I almost clicked my tongue at Namgung Chunjun’s words.

Maybe I’ll like that kid.

“You know what, brother-in-law?”

“This guy keeps… .”

“If the old man I knew had heard what you bastard said, he would have cursed at me.”

I don’t know if Noya would have told me to rip his butt off if he had heard of it.

“Is it unmanned to do anything without a bet? If you have that mindset, just look at Jeom So Yi and tell Namgung Se to play So Ga Joo. I will do better than you.”

“Iza-sik… !”

I tried to shout something with a blood clot in my neck, but the referee was coming up to the empty stage.

The referee is different from the previous off-stage days.

It seemed that a strong warrior who could intervene at any time was judging.

Namgung Cheonjun and the murmur at me became quiet with the appearance of the referee.

Now that we’ve seen the expected dance, it’s probably because everyone is focused.

“Palgangjeon, Namgung Cheonjundae of the Namgung family.”

At the call of the referee, Namgung Cheonjun wrapped energy around the tip of his sword. There was not a single formal word about being polite to each other.

Rather, it’s me.

‘Five… .’

I could tell by the thrilling sensation that passed through my cheeks.

Namgung Cheonjun’s sword was clearly brimming with brain energy. It didn’t seem like they were just playing around.

“Ouyangcheon in Shanxi District.”

The face full of confidence that he could cut at any time was at a level that he could admit rather than hate to see.

Namgung Cheonjun is definitely a genius too.

There are just too many people standing in front of it.

To be honest, that arrogance didn’t really matter.

I’m going to live knowing that I’m good, but what does it matter to me?

It would have been nice if he hadn’t just kept touching me obtrusively.

Also, it would have been nice if the gaze of Namgoongbia was properly organized at first glance.

I am narrow-minded and generous.

He was a mad dog in his previous life, but he could live with it to some extent now.

Obviously this one too.

If Namgung Cheonjun hid the base desire in his eyes.

It was something I wouldn’t have cared about.

If failing to do so was Namgung Cheonjun’s sin, it would be a sin.

“start.”

The referee’s voice is heard.

At the same time.

– stomatitis fetus (俱炎態牙狼).

A gigantic flame extended from his fist.

It took away half of the non-stage.
