161 – EP.7 Flame Ring-1

***

The next day, as the day dawned, Yeom-jin called So-yu and In-ho.

Seeing Yeomjin look quite serious, the two of them called Yeomjin with their faces, and the two sat down in front of her with extremely nervous faces.

“Yesterday Soyou crossed the wall.”

“Are you saying you succeeded in categorizing that bet?”

At Yeomjin’s words, Inho asked, and Yeomjin nodded.

Inho looked at Soyou next to him with an ‘oh’ face, and Soyou poked his side with his elbow at such a frivolous gesture.

“So, I called because I think the time has come.”

Yeomjin’s pupils contained possession.

The owner swallowed.

“Soyou. From now on, you are the dyer.”

Soyu Namgung’s eyes widened to the size of a lantern.

“Master. What do you mean? I’m a dynamite.”

At Soyou’s words, Yeomjin opened the fan.

“Like Souyu, you have been called a successor disciple or a successor.

“I don’t think you’re young enough to know what that means.”

Yeomjin’s calm words made Soyou’s face frown.

“I’m still not very good at learning. So how can I inherit the name of the Dark Wheeler?”

“I gave you everything I knew. And you mastered them. Mastery aside.”

Yeomjin continued talking without averting his eyes.

“I was about your age when I was called the Dyme Gong. So don’t say I’m fast.”

‘The lack of experience and proficiency should be filled by you wandering the river.’ Yeomjin added.

“Then what will happen now?”

Unlike Soyu, who looked down at his knees with a complicated face, Inho asked with a calm face.

“I will go to Murimmaeng this way. I plan to go there and report it formally.”

“If ‘I am’, do we not go to the Moorim Meng?”

In response to Yeomjin’s strangely drawn line, Inho demanded a concrete answer.

“Anyway, all you have to do is change the name written on the ticket. There’s no need to go all together.”

Yeomjin looked at Soyou’s complexion.

“Don’t travel with me anymore, go around the world together and help those in need.”

Yeomjin indirectly said that he would leave them.

“…possessed.”

Yeomjin smiled pitifully and called out to his disciple.

The disciple flinched at the call, but did not raise his head.

It’s because I didn’t want to show the secretly shed tears.

Ugh, Yeomjin let out a small sigh, got up, and went in front of Soyou.

She held Soyou in her arms and patted him softly on the back.

“It’s not like we won’t see each other again, so why are you crying so sadly?

“However….”

A cracked, muddy voice came out of Sowy’s mouth.

Yeomjin hugged Soyou, who was holding back his tears as if he was sad.

Soyou could feel the master’s heart.

“This master lived for seventeen years under the name of Yeomryun Gong.”

“Now I want to spend the rest of my life as a person named ‘Yeomjin’.”

“……”

“For the time being, I’m going to go back to my hometown to rest. I have to take care of my parents’ graves. When the time is right, I’ll send someone to tell them.”

Yeomjin promised the following.

“Master…”

Soyou also opened her arms and hugged Yeomjin.

It was the appearance of a priest who had been in love for a long time under the name of a dyer.

It felt like seeing a mother and daughter getting along. Inho’s nose felt a little sore.

“As I said, I will go to Murimmaeng to take care of things and then go back to my hometown.”

After getting ready to leave, Yeomjin told So-yu and In-ho, who had come to the mountainside to see them off, about their future plans.

“After you finish your work here, go to Hanam. If there are people in need, help them. That is the duty of the Murim people.”

“Yes, don’t worry.”

When In-ho replied with a bright smile, Yeom-jin looked at him with a smile.

“Inho, I’m so glad you’re here. Thanks to you, I was able to relax. You’re a blessing.”

“hahahaha, I’m lucky.”

In-ho deliberately trembled and refreshed the subdued atmosphere.

“Yes. Now I feel that the burden on my heart has been lifted.

With light steps, Yeomjin flew down the slope, and the two men and women watched as she disappeared as a dot in an instant.

“…Let’s go back too.”

After looking in the direction where Yeomjin disappeared, Soyou said.

On the way back to the slash-and-burn village.

Going through the overgrown bushes, Soyou continued to look back as he returned to the village.

I wanted to see them off to the bottom of the mountain, but I felt sorry for not being able to do so.

‘okay. He said he would contact me when he was busy.’

Promising the next meeting, she looked at the back of the disciple who was walking ahead.

Seeing that wide back, Soyou blushed.

‘Since Master said it’s okay…’

It was Yeomjin who said that there would be no problem with Inho.

Thinking that he had subconsciously acknowledged the relationship between the two, Soyou looked forward to Inho’s future together.

3 months later.

So-Yu and In-Ho, who were in Hanam, received a letter from the Murim League.

[Yeomjin. Dead.]

What Seochal wanted to convey was simple and clear.
