Episode 104. The one who looks into the heart of God (4)
“I’ll get you a drink.”
“… … Glory comes.”
Squeeze.
The amber liquid drew an exquisite curve and filled the empty glass.
The thick incense was very fragrant. She was Jiwoon-hoe, who usually doesn’t drink alcohol, but this time, she felt the alcohol move.
The spirit was so high, and the heart was disturbed that much.
“Drink and see.”
Ji Woon-hoe politely turned around and drank.
Certainly, there was no shortage of listening to the sound of famous wine. It was a strong drink, but I even felt like I was taking care of my body.
“Is it good?”
“Very good.”
“That’s it.”
Lee Cheon-sang filled his cup.
He pours himself a drink of Yukcheonshimju, which was given to Jiwoon-hoe. But rather, such actions gave Ji Woon-hoe a turmoil. The fact that Lee Cheon-sang drank the liquor that belonged to him was not only moving, but moving.
“Who did you hear from?”
The question, “Did you know?” welled up in my throat. I also felt resentful of why he didn’t tell me.
Fearing that such an immoral mind might be discovered, Ji Woon-hoe lowered his head.
“I heard from the Three Gongja.”
Lee Cheon-sang nodded.
“I’ve heard reports that something quite interesting happened in the side story.”
It seems like he won’t pay attention to trivial things, but that is to see Lee Cheon-sang as a simple power-hungry ruler.
He was aware of all the happenings within the Protestant Church. It’s because what happened, when and where it happened, comes into his ears one by one.
And he remembered it all.
Lee Cheon-sang said into the air.
“Bring the third.”
There was no answer coming back. But Lee Cheon-sang didn’t care at all.
After a while.
Kugu Palace!
With a heavy sound, the gates of Daejeon opened and Seoyang entered.
Standing twenty paces away, Xi Liang bowed his head.
“Meet the headmaster.”
“This way.”
Seo Liang glanced at Jiyunhoe.
Jiwoonhoe lowered his head with an expressionless face. Even Xi Liang under the world could not guess what he was thinking.
“Would you like a drink?”
“it’s okay.”
In an instant, Jiwoonhoe’s eyes shook.
How dare you refuse to drink when the principal offers you a drink? Where else in the world is there a man with such a large liver?
What was even more surprising was the reaction of Lee Cheon-sang.
“Looks like you’re not in the mood to drink. sit down.”
“yes.”
Xu Liang sat across from Ji Yun Hui.
Lee Cheon-sang opened his mouth while watching Ji-woonhoe.
“You mustered courage.”
“yes?”
“It’s not easy to step out in front of everyone. It is you.”
He said that it was like Ji Woon-hoe, but it was not like Lee Chun-sang. He wasn’t one to say that to anyone.
Jiwoonhoe was embarrassed and lowered his head even deeper.
“Hwang Gong. I just… … .”
“I will ask.”
“… … .”
“How do you want to handle it?”
Jiwoonhoe’s pupils shook greatly.
It was a short question, but I don’t know what Lee Cheon-sang’s question means. As a father, what would he want to do with his son who had committed an outrageous sin?
The situation, mindset, and weight are different from when Seo Liang suddenly asked a question. The person who asked the question just now was the strongest and most terrifying absolute on this endless continent.
“… … Privately, he is my son, but he has already become the teacher’s disciple. I think it is a problem that has left my hands.”
It wasn’t about avoiding an answer. He sincerely thought so.
In the Heavenly Demon Church, no, in Murim, the words of the Heavenly Father are the law. Since he announced that he would accept Ji Kang-hyeon as a disciple, he could no longer get involved in his son’s affairs.
This is because interfering with the religious leader’s disciples could mean ignoring the religious leader’s authority.
“The Magic Sword Lord.”
“Yes, Master.”
“Am I going to make you ask the same question twice?”
“… … !”
Jiwoonhoe’s face turned pale.
“Forgive me… … ! I just… … .”
“What do you want to do? answer me.”
What the hell is the teacher thinking?

Ji Woon-hoe, who was vigorously shaking his head, shook his head. Trying to find out the intentions of the headmaster is itself immoral, and even if he did, he would never know.
All he can do is just convey his honest heart as it is.
“No matter how heinous a crime may be, a child is a child. Parents are the only people in the world who can raise their children.”
“is it.”
“but… … I am the master swordsman. That’s why I think we should treat them more strictly.”
“so?”
Jiwoonhoe closed his eyes.
“I want to punish them appropriately for their sins.”
“Is that your truth?”
“That’s right.”
Lee Cheon-sang nodded.
“I understand.”
“I apologize.”
“According to you, that child has become my disciple. It has fallen out of your reach.”
“… … .”
“However, I don’t want to turn away from your sincerity. The eighth disciple of our school will be taken care of by me without anyone knowing.”
Lee Cheon-sang placed the bottle in front of him.
“Take it.”
“I don’t know what to do with the teacher’s grace like Hahae. If you do, your convictions will go away.”
Ji Woon-hoe, who had bowed to Lee Cheon-sang, politely stepped back. Before he backed off, he glanced at Xu Liang, but Xu Liang didn’t look back at him.
In the place where Jiwoonhoe disappeared, only the two of Lee Cheon-sang and Seo-ryang remained.
Squeak.
Before I knew it, a new wine bottle was in Lee Cheon-sang’s hand. He brought alcohol from somewhere as a substitute for empty space.
“Take it.”
It’s not a request to drink, it’s a command to take.
Seo Liang took a glass.
Lee Cheon-sang asked as he filled his cup.
“What did you feel?”
“yes?”
“What did you feel in the conversation between me and the demon swordsman?”
Seo Liang shook his head.
“I do not know.”
“What a disappointment.”
“… … .”
“Drink.”
Seo Liang emptied his glass.
Lee Cheon-sang asked as he refilled his cup.
“Are the three sons of the Magic Swordsman still at the penal court?”
I also knew this gentleman.
“That’s right.”
“It shouldn’t have been easy, but I managed to overcome it.”
“I had to catch it somehow.”
“The reason is?”
“Because it was something that had to be worked out.”
“Do you think so?”
“yes.”
“Why?”
Xi Liang’s eyes shone. It was a podium-filled eye that had never been shown in front of Lee Cheon-sang.
“There is no reason. It was just something I had to do.”
“… … .”
“To be more honest, my heart just made me do it.”
Lee Cheon-sang, who had been looking at him blankly, nodded.
“I like that answer.”
“… … ?”
“I would have been disappointed once again if the answer had been filled with rhetoric that could not be returned for useless reasons.”
Disappointed or not.
What was important to Xu Liang now was not Li Chun-sang’s impression of him.
“I have a question, can I ask you?”
“How did you know?”
“no. I wonder why you left it alone when you knew.”
Even Daeho-beop, who is closest to him, does not know the true face of Lee Cheon-sang. And he doesn’t know how many hidden demons he has.
One thing is for sure, at least it’s not strange for Lee Cheon-sang to know about anything that happens within the Protestant Church.
So I didn’t wonder how he knew the real culprit.
But I wondered why he hadn’t said anything until now.
A demon suffered a stigma and died. And the demon humbly ended his life praying for the two heavens even until the moment of his death.
If he knew who the real culprit was, why didn’t Lee Cheon-sang try to solve the problem?
“I guess you were curious about the reason.”
“That’s right.”
“The answer lies in what you just told me.”
Xu Liang, who tilted his head as he recalled his answer, stiffened his face in an instant.
– To be more honest, my heart just made me do it.
My fists trembled.
“Wasn’t that why you liked it?”
“… … .”
“Does not matter. I am not someone who struggles to please anyone.”
Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes became transparent.
“And that was the case with the Mine too.”
“… … yes?”
“The devil who died unjustly prayed for me until the moment he died. Do you think he really prayed to me for something?”
“… … ?”
“Do you think he wanted to clear his name? Did he pray for a peaceful life in the afterlife? Not like that.”
“… … .”
“He was just there for me. All he wanted was the well-being of the one god he believed in and followed. There was no other intention.”
“… … !!”
“Loyalty and faith that expect a reward are unjust. it’s impure The demon didn’t care much about her own stigma. Just a crab for me with a pure heart.”
Lee Cheon-sang filled his cup.
He still had a nonchalant expression, but was it Xu Liang’s misunderstanding to see a strange bitterness in his slightly shaded eyes?
“To be angry at the demon who died unjustly is to taint his faith.”
“… … .”
“That is why I am called God. God is not the one who relieves injustice. Knowing and understanding is enough.”
“But the teacher… … .”
Seo Liang cleared his throat without realizing it. He was reluctant to say to a man who called himself a god that he was not human.
Surprisingly, Lee Cheon-sang nodded.
“Of course, I am a person. He is a man, but he is called a god. If so, I have no choice but to work hard to acquire the appearance of a god.”
The word effort really didn’t suit Lee Cheon-sang. Looking at him, I thought he must have been the same since he was born.
The strength, the personality, and that presence.
Seo Liang, who had been watching him quietly, held out his glass.
“Pour me a drink.”
Lee Cheon-sang filled his glass as if it were natural.
Seeing the cup being filled, Xu Liang said.
“Can I ask you one more question?”
“I allow it.”
“I understand why you didn’t release Ma-in’s injustice. No, she wouldn’t understand, but her head knew it.”
“But?”
“Then why did you accept the eldest son of the Demonic Sword Master as your disciple? He didn’t even have to accept him as a disciple, just as he didn’t have to relieve his injustice, did he?”
“Wrong. It was enough for him to accept him as a disciple.”
was there a need? What else do you mean?
“As a material for the main school, he was necessary.”
“Ingredients?”
“Yes.”
“What material?”
“I don’t want to explain.”
Seo Liang ate his appetite. Well, just by answering so many questions, it’s something.
Lee Cheon-sang emptied his glass.
“But let me explain. You too are involved in this.”
Are you involved in this? Ah, something related to the demon sword family?
Lee Cheon-sang stretched out his hand to one side.
Then I felt a strong flow of power in the air.
Koo Goo Goo!
With a harsh sound, several boxes flew through the air and fell beside Taesa.
In an instant, Xian Liang’s eyes widened greatly.
“Do you understand?”
“uh… … therefore… … hmm… … .”
“They are boxes that could have fallen into the hands of raiders. You must have known because you were there too.”
‘… … It took.’
It’s f*cked up, Sibel.
