Dark and Light Martial Emperor

Chapter 312

Episode 312

Twist (6)

Boom!

Kang Ryang’s training ended only after the heavy sword struck the ground.

“Gasp.”

It was a training that took all my might. However, Kang Ryang’s expression was dark as to why he was so dissatisfied.

Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.

“why? “You don’t like it?”

“yes? “Oh no.”

“What’s the problem? “I think I did a good job.”

Kang Ryang drew his sword and put it in its sheath.

“I didn’t think there was any particular problem. “I’m just… a little disappointed in myself.”

“Disappointment? “In what part?”

Kang-ryang smiled bitterly.

“I don’t think my martial arts skills will improve anytime soon. Although we pursue the limit, if we could reach the limit simply through effort, there would be no one in the world who would not be an expert.”

“That’s true.”

“But I can’t see a way forward.”

Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.

“A person who knows his strengths and weaknesses and where he should go will make rapid progress for the same amount of effort.”

“yes. But I don’t see it with my eyes.”

“It was the same for me.”

“yes?”

“Do you think I would have known where to step at every moment? “I dare say that no genius in the world could do that.”

“….”

“What method do you use in such a case? “It also varies from person to person.”

A look of puzzlement appeared on Kang Ryang’s face.

“What did you do at that moment?”

“me?”

Yeon Ho-jeong looked up at the sky.

“I don’t know.”

Kang Ryang’s question was limited to martial arts.

However, upon hearing that question, Yeon Ho-jeong thought of the life he had led beyond martial arts.

‘It was truly overwhelming.’

Gained experience and gained strength. In his eyes, many things seemed easy in his eyes as he reached the peak through a chaos that was more hellish than hell, but he also lost a lot.

‘What did I gain and what did I throw away? ‘What kind of faith did you have when you couldn’t see the future?’

It can be said that the most difficult moment was right after the family was wiped out.

By heavenly luck, I was able to meet my teacher, and thanks to that, I was able to live as a martial artist. If it had not been for his meeting, Yeon Ho-jeong would have ended his life as a common martial artist.

However, the teacher only opened his eyes and did not tell him which path was the right path. There were many ways in the world like this and that. It was up to you to choose it.

At that time, Yeon Ho-jeong was able to learn.

That you can only take responsibility for your choices. If you follow a path that someone has decided for you, you will also have to take responsibility for the results.

And if that happens, it will become difficult to live in the world when there is no one to help you in the future.

That I am always the subject of life. In that respect, life can be lonely.

That’s why I was able to realize that I need to get used to solitude and be grateful for every moment I can be with someone.

Yeon Ho-jeong closed his eyes.

“You can’t not walk just because you can’t see. What’s even more daunting is that you can rest for a while or even go back the way you came, but if you do that, you won’t see the light.”

“….”

“You probably had many people giving you advice. But now that those people are gone, all you have left are two fists and a sword.”

“…That’s right.”

Yeon Ho-jeong opened his eyes again and said with a smile.

“Let’s go step by step. There is no other reason why I asked my father to stop your training. “You have to try to develop yourself from nothing at least once.”

“….”

“At least you have the martial arts skills of the Black Island First Swordsman with you. That’s enough. “I just want you to travel with me and expand your horizons.”

“eyesight.”

“Yes. The reason is that martial arts is not a narrow-minded discipline that develops simply by putting effort into the body.”

Yeon Ho-jeong tapped Kang Ryang on the shoulder.

“Your father told you once. I don’t know anything, but they say that swinging a chest sword won’t increase your martial arts skills. That doesn’t mean you should rest. “It means changing your perspective.”

“I see.”

“You worked hard today too. Wash and go to your place. If you feel lonely, have a drink alone. “There must be a taste that brings that level of refreshment to a life that is extremely lonely.”

Kang-ryang smiled.

He said he was blind himself, but he seemed much calmer than when I first met him.

“Sometimes it seems like the age gap between me and my brother is literally decades.”

“Is that so?”

“yes. Sometimes I’m really jealous. “I often think about wanting to be like my brother.”

Yeon Ho-jeong filed a complaint.

“It is also a privilege of youth to yearn for adulthood. But there are also quite a few things you can enjoy at that age. “Before you admire someone, understand what’s around you.”

“Look. “This part is mature.”

“Hey. It’s already past holiday time. “Go in and rest.”

Kang-ryang lowered his head.

“Thank you for watching practice today. “Then I’ll see you tomorrow.”

“okay.”

So Kang-ryang returned to his residence.

Yeon Ho-jeong sat on a small rock and looked up at the sky.

The moon was bright. There was a lot of starlight. The wind was still cold, but now it was cooling my sentimental head.

Yeon Ho-jeong looked up at the sky for a long time and sighed.

“I can’t see in front of me… Even if I’m high enough, the veil of darkness doesn’t block people.”

Several words came to Yeon Ho-jeong’s mind.

Election, three schools, coordination, development, ouster, harmony…

It was a truly complicated situation. Perhaps Yeonhojeong was even more daunting than the current Kangryang.

‘Life doesn’t get easier just because you live twice or three times. Rather, the more things you see, the more difficult life becomes.’

Ugh.

At that time, Yeonhojeong’s divine energy caught a subtle trace.

It wasn’t a secret approach. However, the owner of the presence had practiced martial arts so well that the energy was converging on its own.

‘older brother.’

After a while, Mo Yong-woo appeared.

“It seemed like he wasn’t in his place, so I wandered nearby and saw a subtle black energy rising from this place. It was Prosecutor Kang’s energy. “I came here to see if you knew where you were, but before I knew it, Prosecutor Kang had disappeared and you were the only one left.”

“What brings you here again this late in the morning?”

Mo Yong-woo quietly looked at Yeon Ho-jeong’s face.

‘different.’

Yeon Ho-jeong’s face, bathed in clear moonlight, looked somehow detached.

When I saw that expression and those eyes, my complicated heart seemed to soften. Even the unidentified anger and bitterness seemed to disappear like melting snow.

Mo Yong-woo took out a gourd from his belt.

“I don’t have a glass, but would you like to take a sip with the moonlight as your friend?”

“You know the arts. “Okay, let’s get a drink from my older brother after a long time.”

“You said you don’t have a cup?”

“That’s what you say, you stiff guy.”

“ha ha ha.”

Mo Yong-woo’s laughter was very refreshing.

So the two shared a drink in silence.

Was the bottle half empty? Yeon Ho-jeong asked as if throwing a question.

“So what brought you here this time?”

“I’m sorry. Does something really have to happen for Hyung Woo to come visit Hyeonje?”

“That’s a really good thing to say, but can you erase the frustration around those eyes?”

“Haha, did you see that?”

“That’s right. So I’m worried. “It’s so easy to understand.”

Mo Yong-woo, who was looking at Yeon Ho-jeong with a smile, spoke calmly.

“It was true that you joined hands with the Mukryongbu.”

Is it because of the magical power of moonlight? Or is it because of Yeon Ho-jeong’s low, relaxed voice?

Mo Yong-woo was able to tell the story about Mo Yong-gun much more calmly than expected.

“Moyong Yeonhwa?”

“That’s right.”

Yeon Ho-jeong filed a complaint.

While listening to Mo Yong-woo’s story, he was able to instantly understand the past situation.

“So I was able to survive.”

“hmm? “What do you mean?”

“Moyong-gun. According to my expectations, it would have been normal for him to die or be robbed by that nobleman, Yangcheon. But the gentleman came back safely without any harm.”

“…It did.”

“Moyong-gun must have said this. “Please help me become the Murim lord. I will give you a lot of help when you become the lord.”

“Of course I did.”

“Transactions are made in cash, not bills of exchange. And Yangcheon knows that too. But Yang Chen agreed to the deal. “Why would a person worth so much money accept the note given by Prince Moyong?”

Mo Yong-woo’s face hardened.

“Does this mean you sent Yeonhwa as a hostage?”

“Or perhaps a hostage and helper. Furthermore, it could have been made to play the role of a bridge.”

“….”

“Otherwise, there is no reason for Yang Cheon to let go of Mo Yong so easily.”

Mo Yong-woo’s eyes trembled.

But even for a moment.

“Whoa.”

Mo Yong-woo sighed softly and calmed down his frustration with a sip of alcohol.

“Yes, if you are my brother, you can do that.”

Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.

“Apart from your affection for your blood relatives, I think you can view Prince Moyong quite coldly, right?”

“So that’s the problem. “The words I said to you today came from the heart, not from reason.”

Mo Yong-woo filed a complaint.

“I said I would work with you to correct the family and contribute to the peace of Baekdo martial arts, but seeing you waver to this degree, I guess I’m not a good person either.”

“That’s normal.”

“But…”

“You told me that when we first met, right? My brother walks the path to the top. “I will firmly hold on to the world where abnormality is accepted.”

Mo Yong-woo shook his head.

“I don’t know what it means to be an abnormal world, but it would be an overly harsh request to leave such a strict path to the current emperor and tell him not to know about me.”

“You can’t not know.”

“What do you mean?”

Yeon Ho-jeong patted Mo Yong-woo on the shoulder.

“You should know. What I do and how hard I work. “You need to know, listen, and embrace it.”

“….”

“That is the virtue of a leader. To be exact, it is a virtue of the Baekdo leader.”

“Hyeonjae.”

“know. “That’s just the way it is.”

Yeon Ho-jeong took a deep breath.

“I must be very distraught. But you expected it, right? “If it’s hard to shake it off, just accept it and use it as a driving force to move forward.”

Mo Yong-woo, who was looking at Yeon Ho-jeong, smiled warmly.

“He’s my brother, but he’s a jerk who can’t help at all.”

“Not having ability is not a sin. “What’s important is whether you have the will to move forward and how hard you can try to change yourself.”

“ha ha ha.”

Yeon Ho-jeong shrugged his shoulders.

“But now that I’ve heard what you have to say, it’ll get a little easier.”

“hmm?”

“Moyong-gun. “I think if we shake off Mo Yong Yeon Hwa, this fight could go by quite easily.”

“Don’t do that.”

“ok?”

Mo Yong-woo shook his head.

“I told you not to do that.”

“What do you mean suddenly? Mr. Moyong….”

“Yes, my brother is a villain. But don’t you have many things to worry about besides your brother?”

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes deepened.

Mo Yong-woo looked at the sky and sighed.

“I will tightly control the abnormal world… If you say you will do that, how can I stop you? But if you say that, I should at least take control of the normal world.”

“….”

After emptying the bottle, Mo Yong-woo stood up.

He smiled and looked down at Yeonhojeong.

“It’s a good thing you came to see Hyeonje today. “It was an insignificant conversation, but I learned a lot from it.”

“What are you trying to do?”

“When times get difficult and overwhelming, I will ask for help. But until then, Hyunje also does what Hyunjae has to do.”

“older brother.”

“Look at you, Hyeonje.”

“….”

“Don’t forget. “I still have no intention of becoming like that, but from what you have seen, I would not have been a bad model for a Murim lord.”

Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.

“It’s full and overflowing.”

“If that’s true, then you should at least prove that your eyes aren’t wrong.”

Mo Yong-woo turned around.

“Rest. “I’ll come visit you sometime soon.”

next day.

‘It’s magnificent.’

Moyong Yeonhwa, who entered the Murim Alliance, had a look of turmoil on her face.

‘This is the Murim Alliance…!’

The Murim Alliance that was finally completed had a size and system that overwhelmed the Mukryongbu. It was enough to realize the gap at a glance.

Mo Yong-Yeonhwa took a deep breath.

‘Let’s do it right. If I do it right, everyone will survive. Let’s be tense but not stiff, take our time but don’t let down our guard.’

That was when she reached the front of the temple with her attendant.

“It’s been a while.”

Mo Yong-Yeonhwa was surprised and turned her head.

Mo Yong-woo, with a blunt expression, was standing there with his arms crossed.

Moyong Yeonhwa’s eyes caught fire.

“…Mo Yong-woo.”

A faint smile appeared on Mo Yong-woo’s lips.

“You seem to have lost a lot of discipline, nephew.”
