Childhood Friend of the Zenith Chapter 723

Ugh-!

I regained my strength and checked my body condition.

It goes around the blood vessel once or twice and then returns to the heart. That alone was enough to confirm.

‘There was a small crack on the shoulder due to internal injuries.’

It looks like he suffered an internal injury when blocking the martial arts attack, and his shoulder was also cracked when he attempted to attack. I can defend myself with some strength, but if I hadn’t been able to do that, my shoulder would have been broken.

‘Is there nothing else in particular?’

The bet wasn’t even half spent and the cracks will heal within today.

The internal injuries will also recover in no time.

It’s just like this. As much pain and injury as you can suffer during training.

‘These…’

Are these marks on the body after trampling on a teenage Jungwon expert?

I closed and opened my hands several times and looked straight ahead.

“Cough.”

The old woman, Bunwol Gwon-seon, was sitting down and bleeding.

It’s black blood. It wasn’t dangerous, but it was something that was done to heal some internal injuries.

“I roughly returned it, so it won’t die.”

The interior was a mess due to the fight. He had a lot of twisted energy and suffered quite a bit of trauma, so if left as is, he would have died.

So we took some action.

“Huh…huh…”

Kwon Seon keeps trying to catch his breath. I nodded my head while looking at her. It reminds me of the dance just now.

Honestly, there isn’t much to think about.

‘It’s bland.’

Not funny. It was a dance that only made me think like that.

‘What’s this.’

I am filled with disappointment.

Is it because it compares to the fight with Faezon? There was no cruelty at all.

‘Did I let my guard down?’

Could this be because Gwon Seon was careless? I thought about it and quickly came up with a denial.

‘Probably not. ‘You made the moves differently.’

We planned to create enough awareness.

He even pushed aside Gwonseon’s brilliance and showed his level of skill to a certain degree. Even if Gwon Seon is a senile old man, he can’t not know this much after being shown this much.

‘And if you don’t know, you have to search.’

If the gentleman who went all the way to the Amipa chapter was unaware of this and let his guard down, it would have been better to just pass up the position and disappear.

Gwon Seon did not let down his guard.

No, although he may have let his guard down to some extent, it was not to the point where he was helplessly defeated.

Then what is it?

‘Am I strong?’

Has it become that much stronger?

I look at my clenched fist and think.

‘I expected to win.’

How much strength do you have? I always tried to judge objectively. I need to know for sure where my limits are so that my plans don’t get in trouble.

So, I didn’t think I would lose the fight with Gwon Seon. That much wins. That confidence was clearly there.

‘I didn’t expect to win this easily.’

It was somewhat severe. That’s why it’s strange.

‘There’s no way I’m this weak.’

I am strong. Absolutely not weak

I don’t know about Maehwaseon or Geomje, who are said to be close to the Three Noble Gods, but they won’t be defeated by any teenage expert. However, you can’t win this easily.

‘Even if I didn’t use Yongeon or Magi, I was planning on using Sungchang.’

I can’t believe I ended up just lighting a little fire and using my spirit. Even if something was strange, it was strange for a long time.

He approached Kwon Seon and got down on one knee. After making eye contact, I asked her.

“Jang Moon-in. “Why are you so weak?”

“…!”

Let’s ask without turning around. Gwon Seon’s face distorts.

“Are you planning to humiliate me?”

“no. I knew I would win anyway. I’m not being sarcastic. “I’m really curious.”

Kwon Seon smiles bitterly at this somewhat unlucky remark.

“…I’m really curious.”

Grumbling. Gwon Seon asked me while wiping away the flowing blood.

“How on earth did you arrive at the image?”

The realm of imagery.

A great state that all warriors strive to reach. It is not a state of being first-rate, peak, or world-changing, but a place where the enlightenment of life is accumulated and the image finally takes shape.

Kwon Seon’s eyes widened as he watched me arrive there.

‘hmm.’

There was a reason she came out there.

The martial art that Gwon Seon was trying to use just before.

The energy contained in it was not only a bet, but also a mixture of imagery. So, in order to block it, I also had to mix up my images. That’s probably why Gwon-seon noticed.

How did you get there?…

I don’t know.

“It happened because I lived stubbornly.”

“…”

Of course, he didn’t seem to believe it. It’s not something I told you to believe anyway.

There is silence for a moment, and Gwon Seon speaks as if he is suspicious of something.

“Or… I even did something like anti-romanization….”

“I didn’t do anything like that.”

“…”

I immediately blocked out any unnecessary doubts.

“Sometimes absurd things happen in life, right?”

There is no need to think or make excuses. What can I do if I don’t believe it? Right now, Gwon Seon was in no position to doubt that.

“Just answer my questions. “A long writer.”

I asked while looking into the eyes.

“Why are you so weak?”

“…”

“I’m not teasing or humiliating you. “I’m really curious.”

As I said before, I am good at objectifying my level.

I don’t know all of the Teenage Masters, but I can beat most of them.

‘You lose to the three-zone level and the level just below that.’

Except for the loss zone, which is a unique situation.

I watched Cheonjon from the sidelines, so it’s not exact, but I’ll probably lose within twenty sums, and I haven’t seen Geomjon for a long time, so I’m not sure, but I’ll probably be faster than that.

It’s exactly that location. What about the windings?

‘When I looked at it earlier, it was at a similar level to Geomje.’

That was the sense of presence and momentum. So, I expected that much and tried to deal with it.

‘What is this…’

To be honest, it was Shinryong who fought Wei Xue’er. I wonder if it barely exceeded that level… It almost seemed like that.

‘At this level, if I were to fight Tang Xiaoyeol at night, I might lose.’

If the circumstances are right, the undercover Tang So-yeol may win.

The power that Kwon Seon showed was too shabby to be considered a teenage expert.

So this is a question that arises.

“It doesn’t seem to be an internal problem, but the physical part may be due to aging. It’s not energy, is it? “What’s the problem?”

His skills are so poor compared to his visible power.

I didn’t think it was just that I was much stronger and wouldn’t have been able to trample on it.

“I didn’t feel like my energy was moving properly. “Is there something else wrong?”

“…”

At my words, the wrinkles between Kwon Seon’s eyebrows deepen. Do you still see it as teasing?

‘what. ‘You really don’t know?’

Gwon Seon just frowns as if he doesn’t know what’s going on.

‘You don’t know even if it’s like this?’

I tapped my forearm with the tips of my crossed fingers. Because something flashed through my mind in this strange situation.

“iced coffee.”

I see I took a deep breath and laughed.

“what…? “Why are you smiling?”

“no. “I just feel a little sad.”

“what?”

Does Kwon Seon question my words? I had no intention of continuing the conversation.

‘I was wondering something.’

I felt like I roughly knew it. There is no need to dig deep as it is obvious.

‘I’ll just have to find out later whether or not this has anything to do with Maeng.’

I thought about it and organized my thoughts.

“Anyway, I won, so do as you bet.”

Kwon Seon is glaring at me as if he’s going to kill me. I asked looking at her.

“What is your purpose?”

“…”

“The reason for looking for refuge. Is it precious? Or is it the hostage itself?”

At the casual question, Kwon Seon, who had been glaring at me, bursts into laughter as if he were helpless.

“…You don’t see the fact that you defeated me as important at all.”

“That’s not something worth considering.”

So should I get excited about something?

“Well, you beat a great person.”

“…”

“I’m not impressed at all, so just answer.”

Cough.

Patter.

Blood drips from Gwon Seon’s mouth. The white military uniform he was wearing was already soaked with blood.

Although it looks pitiful, there is no change in my expression.

“What if I… don’t answer?”

“Because I don’t impose a ban lightly. If you want to handle the backlash, you can do so. Even if it’s not that.”

My eyes and heart become cold.

“There are many ways to get people to say anything. “Most likely, it won’t be done in a peaceful way.”

If you’re curious, do it. When I said that with that intention, Gwon Seon’s eyes that were looking at me wavered for a moment.

“…I’m serious…. You’re really thinking of torturing me.”

“If necessary.”

“Are you really a political faction figure…?”

haha.

I laughed at Kwon Seon’s words.

“I hear this often. “Isn’t that really funny?”

“What do you mean?”

“The days when we could be proud of our political faction are long gone. “Most of the places where the roots fell have rotted away, but are you still comparing us to that miserable honor?”

“…”

What can you do if you are not a political faction? In my opinion, whether it was a Safa faction or a political faction, that was it.

If there is a difference between the two to me.

‘Kill Sapa first. The political faction will at least try to have a conversation.’

Of course, most of them died that way.

“If I were to discuss political affairs and express my affiliation, I am currently in a political faction. Because my father is a Jeong Pa-in. but.”

He lifted Gwon Seon’s chin with his finger.

“It’s not that important to me. If you ask me, is it just a name tag?”

It’s just the right amount of value to take away at any time. That’s what political faction meant to me.

“therefore. Be honest and speak frankly. “We had that kind of promise.”

You can send the finger you raised now to your throat at any time. With that in mind, he slightly moved his hand towards his neck.

Then he asked again.

“It’s a mystery. What does this have to do with Amifa?”

I spit it out and count to five internally.

After passing one, right before reaching five.

“…the retreat. “It has to do with the child’s mother.”

I stopped applying the force I was trying to give.

“mother. Who are you? Are you talking about Mrs. Mok?”

Pretend not to notice and change the subject slightly. Mrs. Mok was the mistress of the Xianpi family.

When Gwon Seon hears what I say, he looks at me with strange eyes. Did he realize that he was looking at himself? I smiled at that gaze.

Gwon Seon, seeing this, trembled.

“…Ah, the child’s mother…is not the person you mentioned.”

“sure?”

“That child…”

Gwon Seon paused for a moment. But he soon spoke again.

“…After Eulryeong Prosecutor’s Office. “That child is the bloodline of Jeondae Geomhu.”

“W-what? Huh. “It’s such an amazing fact…!”

“…also. “You already knew.”

“You just responded that you didn’t know. “Why are you so sure?”

I think the acting was perfect… Why the opposite reaction? It’s ridiculous, really.

‘I didn’t plan on hiding it anyway, so it’s okay.’

Something felt quite bad.

“…So you are saying that you sponsored the child even though you knew his identity?”

“I’m sorry, but I don’t accept questions.”

Then, I cut off Gwon Seon’s subtly asked question. Again, I was the only one who could ask the question.

“Pi Yeon-yeon is Geomhu’s bloodline and all. “That’s not the background I’m asking.”

“…”

What is the reason for finding refuge in Amipa? I’m just curious about that.

As he slowly asked with annoyance in his voice, Kwon Seon’s answer began to change slightly.

“…This is because Geomhu Eulryeong was originally a person from the Ami faction.”

“oh?”

Now something interesting has come out.

‘Geomhu Eulryeong is from Amipa?’

Yes, this kind of information needs to come out. If that was true, this was information I didn’t know about.

‘Obviously, Eulryeong Prosecutor was an independent.’

Unmanned with no background. Jeondae Geomhu was neither born in a particular family nor was he a warrior from a certain sect.

She is from Amifa’s literary family?

‘But how could it not be known?’

No matter how unique Amifa’s martial arts skills are, some of them are bound to remain.

Of course, it is not impossible to erase everything. Unlike the current Seongyul, the Sword Demon of his past life erased all of Kunlun’s habits.

but.

‘That’s because living has eroded all betting.’

Because Seongyul’s supernatural nature swallowed up the calm and soft energy that was unique to Tao Mun, he made it so that he did not know that his heart attack was based on Tao Gong.

‘It’s something I don’t know.’

Let’s skip this first. There was something more curious than this.

“If that’s the reason you’re looking for a refuge in Amipa, that’s a little strange.”

Everything is good.

Let’s say that Geomhu Eulryeong is from Amipa. So here’s something strange.

“So why are you looking for me?”

Something important is missing. What does it mean to be from Amifa?

The fact that I lived as an independent means that I either hid my background or left a religious faction.

“Isn’t it strange that Amifa goes to great lengths to search for the daughter of such a person?”

I’m sure there’s some other reason, I’ll find it. It doesn’t make sense to just look for it. Kwon Seon answers that question.

“Do you… do you know what happened to Eulyeong Geomhu?”

“Approximately.”

It’s a lie. I knew it very well, not roughly.

I gathered a lot of information to use this, so of course I need to know.

The end of Eulyeong Geomhu as told by Kwon Seon.

A former swordswoman and a woman of the political sect who was once praised and praised by heroines.

The end of a woman who was expected to shine until the end was more shabby than anything else.

‘The plot of Eulryeonggeomhu was revealed and he was called Sapa and was shot dead.’

Surprisingly, it is said that Geomhu Eulryeong, who was called the heroine’s dream and hero, was plotting to devour Jungwon.

She secretly gathered Safains from the Murim League and formed a colony. In the aftermath, a civil war actually broke out.

At this time, the anecdote in which the current Geomhwageomhu Soi and Baekryeongeomhu Moyongbiyeon confronted Eulryeong Geomhu is still famous.

The Great War was a long and short war. In terms of time, it will be less than two months.

At the end of that time, the war ended with the victory of the political faction. Geomhu Eulryeong, who was said to have started the war, was captured and executed by Maeng.

A woman who was once a hero of a political faction, but eventually became a Safaite.

That was the Eulyeong Geomhu that history remembers.

but.

‘That’s not the whole story.’

The truth in such stories is dark and murky.

If history had ended like that, I wouldn’t have bothered to use Bongseon.

I guess so.

“…that’s not the truth.”

Gwon Seon also seemed to know.

“In fact, Geomhu Eulryeong never tried to start a war. “He wasn’t the kind of person who would be flocked to Sapa.”

“Is that so?”

“…There is definitely something hidden in this.”

I don’t know if I know the exact thing but pretend not to know, or if I really have a vague understanding. However, it is clear that he knows something.

“You’re saying that Eulryeong Prosecutor was framed.”

“…you.”

Was my reaction the problem? Gwon Seon’s expression changes strangely.

“Or maybe he knew about this too…!”

“I think your memory has deteriorated a lot because you are old. As I said before, Jang Moon-in has no right to ask questions.”

I moved a little closer to Gwonseon. The answer is not yet finished.

“But why?”

“what…?”

“So why is Amifa looking for a refuge?”

I heard everything.

So now it’s my turn to speak. After hearing this, Kwon Seon widened his eyes for a moment and then answered me in a somewhat hurried voice.

“…That’s natural. Although it may not be the case anymore, Geomhu Eulryeong is from the Ami faction. “We must atone for her injustice.”

“You’re looking for a retreat for that?”

“That’s right.”

“why? “Nothing will come of it.”

“…If we can prove that the child is of Geomhu’s blood, there is a way.”

“iced coffee. I see….”

If it can be proven that Bong-sun is the daughter of Geom-hu Jeondae, there is a way to clear Geom-hu’s name. I nodded my head at Kwon Seon’s words.

Those words were roughly correct.

After hearing everything, I nodded slightly and said.

“This is it.”

“you?”

Sigh.

“…!”

“Is it okay for me to listen calmly?”

Kwon Seon covered his mouth with his hand to prevent him from speaking. She seemed startled and struggled, but I used a lot of force to subdue her.

“If you’re going to use a trick, use it discreetly. “It’s going to make you mad to hear it.”

“Eup… off!”

Gwon Seon’s wrinkled eyes became bright. The pressure is so strong that you can’t even breathe properly. Gwon-seon’s complexion, which was already bad, quickly becomes cloudy.

The reason I came out like this was no different.

As I was listening, a single thought came to mind.

He said while looking at the surprised Kwon Seon.

“Do you think I’m an asshole?”

“Turn it off.”

“You must have been the ones who framed Geomhu in the first place. “Why did you leave that out?”

“…!”

Gwon Seon’s trembling body stiffened. The drooling voice also stopped.

I was convinced after seeing this.

“Haha. I guess that’s right?”

It was correct.
