98 – Jehwajeon. (3)

Jehwajeon (3)

I tried to ask what was the reaction that came out when I mentioned Gu Ling-hwa in my companion to Shaan-seo.

Looking at the current reaction, I wondered if I was misunderstanding something.

However, after hearing that, Shin-hyeon said that he had something to ask and brought up the story.

This has been the story since Gu Ryeong-hwa first came to Volcano and until now.

And why was that child in a volcanic wave?

Shinhyun was asking while explaining.

I wonder if it’s your fault that Guryeonghwa became like that?

I had only one answer to him.

“Yes, it is my fault.”

It contained a deep story for the words that he suddenly brought out saying that he had something to ask.

From my point of view, it was the first time I had heard of Gu Ryeong-hwa’s experience after joining the Volcano Sect.

That you cried while looking for me.

Also, I had a fear of men.

When I saw it, the reaction was insignificant, so I didn’t think much of it.

It seems worse than expected.

I don’t think Guryung-hwa, which I’ve faced recently, has overcome this.

There seemed to be a greater chance of just being patient.

Shinhyun listened to my answer and didn’t say anything.

However, I feel not very good emotions from the slightly frowning impression and somewhat rough breathing.

It looked like he was holding something tight.

At first, I thought Gu Ryeong-hwa was being bullied, but fortunately, it seems that was not the case.

On the contrary, I think I got a little bit of joy.

‘If it was bullying, I would have been in that role.’

It is an undeniable fact.

I asked Shin-hyeon because there was no follow-up from Shin-hyeon.

“Aren’t you asking why?”

At my question, Shinhyun’s eyebrows furrow a little.

“… I thought that even if I asked Sohyeop, the answer would not come back.”

As Shinhyun said, it wasn’t something that could be answered.

It was only a shame that I had, and it wasn’t enough to tell others.

“And.”

Shinhyun continues.

“I still don’t think my eyes are wrong.”

“…”

I don’t know what Shinhyun sees in me and thinks that way.

I was still staring at Shinhyun.

Not all of the words in his eyes were conveyed, but one thing was known.

I know that the shallow resentment it sent me was, in a way, from worry about aging, so it wasn’t such a bad feeling.

I don’t think Yeongpoong led me here to show you this… .

If not, Yeongpoong appeared from behind and took an example from the disciples of Lee Dae.

“Meet the housekeepers.”

“Yeongpoong Sajil.”

“Yes… .”

“Did you bring the old Sohyup?”

“That’s right.”

“Now, it is a place where no one can come and go except for the literary people. don’t you know?”

“…sorry. You ask about the old accident, and I thought it would be better for you to talk to me directly.”

“About the old accident?”

Shinhyun looks at me. It was a little different from the first time I met Shinhyun.

Maybe it’s because of the answer I spit out earlier.

Hearing what Shinhyeon said, it seemed like it wasn’t something he should have brought.

Even knowing that, Youngpoong did it.

‘He’s also pretty reckless.’

Even if it’s not as much as the Moorim Meng, if you’re a writer, you’re famous for keeping the words of your superiors, but you ignored them and brought them.

I said with a slight sigh.

“I wanted to ask why my younger brother was doing a dance with the Three Great Disciples.”

“ah… that’s.”

Shinhyun opened his mouth as if to answer instead, but there was a voice interrupting.

“brother?”

When I turned around at the familiar voice, I was standing there.

A look of surprise that I am here.

And then, looking at the disciples of Lee Dae, who are clearly hiding here and there, Gu Ryeong-hwa quickly crumples his face.

“… executioners.”

“Oh, I heard.”

“Because of the metabolic type… How can someone who decided to hide speak so openly?”

“Old sister… . This is all because the ambassador seduced me to come, we are not at fault!”

“… Selling the death penalty right away, it’s going well like a moonpa. You crazy people.”

It is the appearance of Shinhyun who is sweeping his face as if he is ashamed and the excuses he is accustomed to spit out as if he has squeezed and hit them.

Guryeonghwa looked at it and let out a small sigh.

“I told you not to come… .”

In a small lament, Shin-hyeon urgently explains.

“I’m sorry, the priests asked me to come… .”

“what… ? He just said why are you selling yourself first, and then he sells us right away.”

“It’s not just once or twice, why are you surprised? All the lines are like that.”

Those who were talking behind them shut their mouths at Shinhyun’s growl.

Gu Ryeong-hwa watched it quietly.

It’s like he has a lot to say, but he doesn’t dare to say it.

Then he sighs and bows his head.

“… Thank you for your concern. But I hope you don’t worry too much.”

It was something firm.

In a way, it was an act that could seem disrespectful to the superiors.

Unknowingly, I looked at the men’s expressions as if I was noticing.

‘yes… ?’

It wasn’t an angry or upset expression.

Rather, what should I say about that…surprise? impression? I guess that’s how it feels…?

“count… Oh my God, the sister-in-law thanked us.”

“I didn’t avert my eyes, and I didn’t even step back.”

“what? What is this? I might die tomorrow… ?”

… now it’s scary

What are those crazy reactions?

Shin-hyeon kicks away the men who seem to have lost their senses and approaches Gu-ryeong-hwa.

“… Are you okay?”

At Shinhyeon’s question, Guryunghwa nodded.

“As always, I respect the priests’ choices.”

“Yeah… thank you.”

“It’s the first time I’ve heard thank you from you, it’s a strange feeling.”

“… sorry.”

“It was an apology. There was nothing that I wanted to receive, whether it was thanks or an apology.”

Shinhyun smiled slightly as he looked at the old man.

Gu Ryeong-hwa turned her head, as if that gaze was a little burdensome.

“I’ll take those idiots with you. Time seems to be running out, so I hope you get satisfactory results.”

The men behind Shinhyeon mumbled at his words, but Shinhyeon turned his back and his face turned into a tiger, so everyone shut their mouths.

I thought he had a nice face, but he can make an expression like that… ?

For a moment, I was slightly scared.

“What is your brother doing?”

He shifted his gaze to the call of Gu Ryeong-hwa.

It seemed that he had become accustomed to calling him oppa again.

I had a problem with that part.

‘Does he deserve to hear such words?’

That was the only thought.

“He said he was dancing with the Three Great Disciples.”

“ah.”

“I just wanted to ask why, but I’ve been dragged here.”

Shin Hyun dragged all of his disciples and disappeared before he knew it.

Seeing that Yeongpoong is not there, it seems that he has been captured.

Gu Ryeong-hwa calmly answered my question.

“I just wanted to do it in a place that fits the subject.”

I seemed to know what you meant.

Now, the old age is not enough to do with Lee Dae-study.

As most of the power of the current Volcano faction was gathered in Lee Dae-ja, it was not something that could be saved.

‘Although it seems difficult even for the three great disciples.’

It is said that there is one thing that Gu Ryeong-hwa practiced steadily, but there is no way that he did not do it as the other three great disciples.

I can’t say for sure, since the only three great disciples I’ve met properly are Yeongpoong… .

Anyway, if it was for those reasons that I decided to compete with the Three Great Disciples, then I wouldn’t have anything more to ask.

In the first place, the higher up allowed it, so Gu Ryeong-hwa must be here.

‘Youngpoong is on the side of the second generation, and Guryeonghwa is on the side of the third generation.’

It looks like something has changed.

If Yeongpung was forced, is it the difference that Guryeonghwa was his own will?

“… cheer up.”

Gu Ryeong-hwa’s head rises at the words that he spat out as if he was muddying the tail.

It was a bit startled.

“What is that expression?”

“That… I didn’t know you would hear me say that.”

“Looking at it earlier, I think you must have heard it a lot, but it seems that you are getting some love.”

It reminded me of the disciples of Lee Dae-hwa, who were chanting with praise.

“… They’re just a bit eccentric.”

Gu Ryeong-hwa had a somewhat burdensome face.

Even if it’s like me, those muscular guys say, ‘Our Yangcheon is the best!’ If I was like this, I thought I would want to hide.

Still, it wasn’t that he didn’t like it.

just uncomfortable

“Anyway, I saw it. I go.”

“there.”

Guryonghwa, who was about to return, called me and stopped my steps.

When I looked at him with a curious expression, he sneaked up to me and grabbed my sleeve.

I couldn’t help but be surprised by Gu Ryeong-hwa’s behavior.

It was Gu Ryeong-hwa who had a hard time even seeing me face-to-face, so I had no choice but to do so.

“you… .”

“Do you want to see the shoe show?”

“Because I came to see you.”

“My sister too… Are you here?”

When it comes to unnie, are you talking about Bia Namgoong? If it were a male goongbi, she would probably be sitting with Wi Seol-ah.

I replied to Guryunghwa.

“Come on, I’ll be seated.”

“Your brother too?”

“I… .”

I came to see Gu Ryeong-hwa’s dance, but I was a bit embarrassed to say I was going to see it here. I coughed a little and said.

“… I will see.”

In response to my answer, the old woman released the sleeve she was holding. As expected, it is still difficult, but I can see the shallow shaking of my hand.

It’s so hard, why did you hold on to it?

Gu Ryeong-hwa caresses my trembling hand and smiles bitterly.

“I guess it’s still a bit difficult.”

sorry. Don’t do it if it’s hard, you don’t have to.

There were many words that seemed to come out of my mouth, but I didn’t dare to say them.

Young Gu Lyeong-hwa was trying to overcome herself.

It was already a very different story from the previous life.

“… yes. I’ll keep an eye on you.”

Every time I see something like that, I regret and promise at the same time.

The belated regret that I shouldn’t have done that, and the promise that I must change now.

Gu Ryeong-hwa returned to her seat, saying that she had to prepare now.

I also watched Gu Ryeong-hwa’s back and moved on.

With a somewhat complicated mind, I returned to the place where the crowd gathered and found my party.

Finding where it was was easier than I thought. It was just a matter of finding Namgoongbia.

If not, there was a place where the eyes were focused.

She was wearing a cotton thread, but her eyes were focused little by little, perhaps because of the unique atmosphere of Namgungbia.

Namgoongbia looked tired and leaned on Wiseolah, but at the moment she raised her head and moved around.

It’s like looking for something.

Bia Namgung, who had been looking around, turned to this direction. They waved their hands as if they had found me.

Wi Seol-ah, who was next to her, also waved her hand.

‘I was a little far away, how did you find me?’

Did you even write a bet?

I don’t think he did it, but is it a coincidence?

‘It must be a coincidence.’

I thought about it and went there, and the seat next to me was empty. It must have been my seat.

Wiseol-ah looks at me and asks.

“Bocchan, where have you been?”

“I came to see my little brother, because he was competing today.”

As if he had heard, Bia Namgoong reacted from the side.

“today… come out?”

“It is.”

Namgoongbia twitches her lips as if she wants to ask something more, but quickly turns her head away.

His gaze was on the non-stage.

There was no need to ask why.

The somewhat noisy buzzing sound also disappears.

All eyes were on the non-stage.

On top of the silent stage.

In the air that is not high, bright red energy suddenly gathers and creates a small leaf.

The light-bearing leaves sway and fall in the wind.

Eventually, the leaves touch the ground.

Whoaaah-!

Crimson energy swirls in an instant and covers the non-stage.

At first glance, it was a bet that was disregarded.

The energy that rushed over the non-stage like a whirlwind suddenly exploded! It spreads and disappears leaving a faint trace in the air.

On the empty stage where energy has disappeared, Mae Hwa-seon, a long-time scholar of Hwasan, leads.

Behind it, it seemed, were the three great disciples who were probably going to participate in the shoemaking contest.

As soon as they saw it, the audience sitting around them cheered.

“… Crazy.”

It was probably a production of Maehwaseon for those who came up to the volcano.

It was even more amazing that it didn’t show even a hint of it even after spending that much bet on just directing.

When Maehwaseon raised her hand, it became quiet again as if she had squeezed it.

“Every year, what kind of event is this small event, and why do you climb a high mountain in the scorching heat and come all the way here… I am truly grateful.”

Every time Maehwaseon takes a step, the illusion comes as if the wind is blowing.

Could this be a change made by betting?

“There is nothing as boring as an old man’s long words, so I’ll go downstairs after saying thank you. Please look at how brilliantly our children have made an effort.”

Indeed, Mae Hwa Seon comes down from the non-stage and goes to another place as if she has nothing more to say.

Geomryong Yeongpung is at best a promising latecomer, but Maehwaseon is an absolute master widely known in the midfield, so there were many people who regretted not hearing more of his words.

From my point of view, it was nice to be able to see the shoe show more quickly.

As if Mae Hwa-seon had been waiting for the elders to sit down, the three disciples on the non-stage began to prepare.

Two people came out of the gap and drew wooden swords and faced each other.

‘Is it with a wooden sword?’

It seemed that he had heard beforehand that this great disciple used a real sword.

The man who appears to be the referee in the center glances at the young men on both sides to make sure they are ready.

“… start!”

At the sound of shouting with a bet, they jumped and rushed at each other.
