Episode 114 Breaking Shell (4)
“Phew, I guess I’ll buy it.”
After taking a bath with hot water, Seoryang sat by the window.
Ma Dong-pil poured the tea.
“This is Byeok Rachun. “Please eat it.”
“Oh, thank you.”
Sitting on the bed and drinking hot tea, I felt quite peaceful.
“Would you like a drink too?”
“I am okay.”
“Okay then.”
Ma Dong-pil asked as he watched Seoryang happily drinking tea.
“Confucius.”
“why?”
“When will the inspection begin?”
“Is there anything urgent? Just take it slow. “When will you come to Jeoksa Temple again?”
He said so, but in fact, Seoryang had been to Jeoksa Temple once.
Of course, I didn’t come in through the front door with confidence. When I was King Sal, I stopped by once when I was assassinating Danju of the Blood Mangdan (???), the best military unit.
Seo-ryang glanced at the bed.
‘Hmm.’
Red silk blanket. It is a dark red silk used in the South.
‘This is a new feeling.’
I see it once when I came to assassinate him, once when I first opened my eyes in my residence, and again now.
‘Even among the candidates, I got involved with Hong Wi-moon the fastest. If you look at it that way, it’s quite a bad relationship with Jeoksa.’
Seoryang, who was scratching his head, looked around with a sudden feeling of emptiness.
“what? “What about Geumho?”
“I’m fine…”
“Hmm, this guy just slept and didn’t eat anything for two days.”
He got up from his seat.
“You parked the carriage behind the hotel, right?”
“Are you going to look for Geumho? “I will come find you.”
“done. You too, go wash up. “It must be uncomfortable.”
“I am Confucius’s escort…”
“It is a disaster. Would you stay by my side to escort me when I poop? “Are you not planning on going to sleep?”
After speaking, I was scared for a moment. For some reason, it seemed like Ma Dong-pil could be like that.
“I…”
“That’s enough, go take a shower quickly. And don’t be mistaken, you are still weaker than me.”
“….”
“Wash. “I smell sweaty.”
Ma Dong-pil lowered his head with an awkward expression.
Seo-ryang came out of the room and rummaged around in the carriage.
“Let’s see… you bastard! “Where have you gone?”
There is no sign of Kumho’s unique presence.
Seo-ryang, who was grumbling softly, sharpened his spirits.
Ugh.
Then, I felt the spirit of Geumho from the carriage at the end.
“Really, when will we get there again… hmm?”
What is this familiar yet unpleasant act of popularity?
Xu Liang turned his head.
“long time no see.”
The bright beauty that harmonizes strangely with the expressionless face remains the same.
“I know. long time no see.”
Hong Yeo-rin, who was looking at him silently, pointed with her chin to the side of the teacher’s pavilion.
“Would you like to have some tea for a moment?”
* * *
There was no particular emotion on Seoryang’s face as he sipped tea.
But Hong Yeo-rin was different. Unknown emotions were plastered over her beautiful but cold face.
“What is that fox?”
Seo-ryang looked at the seat next to him. Geumho, who was on the chair, curled up and closed his eyes.
“We are friends.”
“It’s interesting that the three princes of the Heavenly Demon God Religion have a fox as a friend.”
“Whether other people find it interesting or annoying is none of my business.”
Seoyang leaned back in his chair.
“So why did you ask me to have tea?”
Let’s get straight to the point.
‘…as expected, it’s different.’
Even now, when I look at Seoryang, something that makes me cry comes out from inside my chest.
When I visited him with the news that he had woken up from a paralysis, he was very different from the past. The face was so similar that one could even call it transformation, so it was no exaggeration to say that it was a completely different person.
But still, Seoryang is Seoliang. Even though there may have been a change of heart after he started speaking, I thought his nature would not change.
‘….’
I can see a subtle sharpness in the languid posture and annoyance in the eyes. Looking at his braided legs and roughly loose hair, I felt a sense of freedom rather than arrogance.
A look that could not be found in Seoryang before he was struck by the demon of evil spirits.
Xu Liang frowned.
“You ask what the reason is?”
“….”
“It seems like nothing is wrong.”
Seo-ryang emptied the car. The car was steaming, but it didn’t seem to be hot at all.
widely!
He put down the teacup and stood up.
“Kumho, let’s go.”
Geumho, who must have understood, straightened up his body and came down to Seoryang’s feet, quenching his appetite.
At that time, Hong Yeo-rin spoke.
“congratulations.”
“what?”
“Sam Gongja showed unconventional steps after returning from Gojuk Forest. “He is a rising martial arts expert who can be called the best among his students, and who instantly defeated Hong Wi-moon, a martial arts expert, with his unconventional driving force.”
Hong Yeo-rin’s eyes deepened.
“Not only was it not enough to receive the cult leader’s favor, but now you have even been given the temporary position of inspector?”
“What do you want to say? Do you want to spit in the face of the guy who killed your brother?”
“It can’t be. On the contrary, I am grateful. “I don’t have a very good relationship with that guy.”
Xu Liang smiled coldly.
“You’re so young.”
“…?”
“Whether you felt competitive or not, he is your brother. “You’re actually thankful even though the person who destroyed your flesh and blood is right in front of you?”
“That guy is just an obstacle to me.”
“obstacle? Don’t be funny. “It must have been an insurmountable wall.”
“I beg your pardon?”
“He was a petty piece of trash. He had a great talent for making people angry by doing trivial tricks. But at least I knew that there should be no hesitation when pulling out the sword.”
“….”
“It was trash, but it didn’t lose its warrior character. But not you.”
Xu Liang turned around.
“He was better than you, who was like a parasite to others because he was afraid of fighting even though he had something he wanted to achieve. “At least I’m not a fool enough to be laughed at by people like you.”
Hong Yeo-rin’s eyes also turned cold.
“No matter what I felt, there would be no reason for me to judge you for that.”
Xu Liang did not answer. I just walked hurriedly towards the door.
Hong Yeo-rin’s eyelids fluttered.
She realized. What was the sense of discomfort I felt toward Seoryang right after waking up from the curse?
He is no longer from this world. He is not a monster of greed who will do anything to gain power.
Seoliang was living in a higher level battlefield, escaping from the battlefield of the struggle for power. And Hong Yeo-rin had no idea what Seo-ryang was trying to gain from that battlefield.
What is certain is that Seoryang will no longer be swayed or swayed by his own words.
And Hong Yeo-rin did not like that fact.
“Can I give you some advice?”
Seo-ryang, who was opening the door, glanced back at her.
Hong Yeo-rin said with a twisted face.
“There is nothing you can do here since you have entered the serpent’s jaw.”
“whatever.”
“Whether you want to dig up corruption through inspection or if you want to get something anyway, it would be good to know how to keep your head down, right?”
A statement that implicitly indicates that it is you who must bow your head.
Xu Liang chuckled.
“Why did you become so childish even when we weren’t seeing each other? Or is that your limit?”
“Be careful what you say!”
“If it’s someone worth bowing down to, bow down on your own. I am very personable. But it’s not worth it to you.”
Xu Liang turned around again.
“What about snakes that aren’t even human?”
thud!
The door was closed.
at the same time.
Quang!
The table was smashed. It was the result of Hong Yeo-rin’s one-shot effort that could not overcome her anger.
Thick veins appeared on her forehead.
“…dare.”
If it was a favor, it was a favor, but I kicked it away. No, he didn’t even treat himself like a human being.
Even though I didn’t like this guy, I now felt murderous intent.
Hong Yeo-rin took a few breaths.
After a while she called someone.
“My father?”
“The head of the family is currently receiving treatment.”
Hong Yeo-rin smiled coldly.
“Treatment?”
she knew My father had been taking an unknown concubine for quite some time. In fact, I don’t even know if she is a concubine or not.
However, I knew that the concubine was not skilled in medicine.
‘brutish!’
I really didn’t like all the men in the family, whether they were blood relatives or not.
“Tell your father. “I will also be attending the dinner party today.”
“All right.”
* * *
Seoryang’s appearance, with his clothes neatly organized, was very splendid. Wi Hongryeon and Ma Dongpil once again thought that Seoryang’s outfit was amazing.
But now was not the time to admire that handsome figure.
“The head of the family and the heads of the family are expected to attend today’s dinner.”
“I guess so.”
“I’m sure you’re feeling quite nervous.”
“I guess that’s true too.”
“First of all, I think it will be easy for us to lead the atmosphere. Anyway, I came down after receiving direct orders from the school. No matter how much I try….”
“That’s probably not true.”
“yes?”
Seo-ryang, wearing a red long robe and even wearing a inspector’s saddle, spoke indifferently.
“They tried to separate me and the light horse unit from the beginning.”
“Oh, that’s right. But why is that?”
“Just because you want to lighten the load? no. “They tried to turn me into a young man who was alone on a remote island and had no clue about the world.”
Wei Hongryun’s eyes shone sharply.
“I’m not sure why. “These guys will try to put pressure on me by any means necessary.”
“It’s pressure….”
“If it’s natural, then it’s natural. I threw away the eldest son of my family. Moreover, I have a bad relationship with the daughter of the head of the family.”
“Really, Confucius, you have a knack for making enemies.”
“I like peace too.”
Slam!
The weapon was one chilya sword. Yongrindo and Yuseongsangdo were stored in the carriage.
“So does that mean that Jeoksaga may take unexpected action?”
“Maybe so. But…”
“Is there something that’s bothering you?”
Xu Liang touched his lips.
‘The atmosphere is a little different from what I expected.’
I don’t know what Geogyeongga is like. However, the Jeoksaga did not seem to have much affection for his relatives.
Hong Yeo-rin’s hostility toward Hong Wi-moon was one thing, but it was even more so when I thought about the Hong Sang-ho case.
‘The air is similar.’
Hong Sang-ho is the matriarch’s younger brother. Moreover, he even had the title of Igaju.
Since it is an inspector from a Protestant church, it may not be able to do foolish things, but it is still normal to have a level of hostility. However, the air here was the same as when I first came in.
Jiyiing.
Super sense let out a small cry.
‘danger? no. But something feels off.’
bang!
Seo-ryang said after patting his lower abdomen.
“It is meaningless to worry about how things will turn out in the Jeoksaga. Let’s go and see if we crash into each other.”
Wei Hongryun grinned.
“After all, it’s better to be hot.”
“yes.”
“Are we going to the dinner too?”
“Isn’t it obvious? Dongpil is my bodyguard and you are the commander of the inspection unit.”
“But you only invited Confucius, you fools.”
“So you won’t come?”
“No way.”
Slurp.
The slightly drawn blade of the Poa sword looked very ferocious.
“I asked just in case. “It’s a mission anyway.”
“It’s a mission, so follow along.”
“All right.”
“You’re not going to cause an accident, right?”
“I’m not going to hit it, but for some reason, Confucius’ tone of voice is strange. It seems like he wants me to hit it.”
Xu Liang grinned.
“If the moment comes, I’ll make a mess, but there’s no one more trustworthy than you.”
“You have excellent insight.”
“Are you ready?”
“Sure.”
Xi Liang opened the door.
“Now, let’s go taste some snake meat.”
