Episode 155. return, and (1)
The news of Xi Liang’s return quickly spread throughout the school.
Returned after three months of leaving school with the positions of deputy external inspection officer and special inspector. The reaction of the demons was quite enthusiastic.
“You are finally back. I heard that the inspection this time was quite splendid.”
“It was gorgeous?”
“Yes. It sounds like you ended the inspection quite aggressively. I heard you yelled at the head of the Chil family who rebelled?”
“You are great too. uh? But where did you hear that?”
“Do you know Senior Ghost?”
“know.”
“That senior, you were dispatched to Cheonbogeumga.”
“Huh, against the gold family… … .”
“No, it’s not the Cheonbogeum family, but they say that they almost destroyed it because they couldn’t rob other families. They say that the governor of Geumga treated her very kindly.”
“Haha, because Geum Ga-joo is a nobleman with a reputation for having a clean personality.”
“Anyway, they say that you came to properly publicize the dignity of the main school. There are even rumors that some family heads trembled in front of Sam Gongja-nim.”
“Isn’t that a bit exaggerated rumor?”
“What if the rumors are exaggerated? And when not, have you seen smoke coming from the chimney? There must be a reason for such rumors.”
“but.”
“Anyway, it’s great. It’s the first time since the Grand Duke, isn’t it? The disciple who perfectly fulfilled the headmaster’s orders.”
“That’s what we don’t know. The details are known to the superiors.”
“Compared to him, aren’t the other disciples a bit pitiful?”
“Are you sorry?”
“The Grand Duke is such an outstanding person, so aside from that, who else among the students showed an impressive appearance as the Prince Sam?”
“Shh! Man, don’t say such a thing lightly.”
“What about it? Speaking of which, even Lee Gong-ja is like that. Until now, the headmaster has never issued a proxy order.”
“Uh-huh, stop it. You won’t be able to die because of your name.”
“Kill. If you die because of your name, is that a life worthy of a Mine? Mine must be Mine to be Mine.”
“Stop whining and let’s go get something to eat. My stomach will stick to my back.”
“Oh, go with me!”
Two demons flirting and running.
Standing on a street not far from the two villages, in an alley where the shadow of a building was cast, Jehwan put his hand on the hilt of his sword.
“They dare… … !”
Then, Guanping raised his hand.
“Stop it.”
“Confucius.”
“Is there a need to respond to each of the earthworms’ conversations?”
“The lowly people judged Confucius carelessly. You will have to rip those filthy snouts out.”
Guanping shook his head.
“Among the demons, of course, there are those who curse at me, the ambassador, and even the religious leader. Are you going to find them one by one and kill them all?”
“but… … .”
“Behind the scenes, they said it was not a sin to curse the emperor. You don’t have to be so hot.”
Jehwan, who watched the demons walking away with cold eyes, loosened his posture.
“sorry. I was so excited.”
“It’s fine.”
A voice that makes you feel the chill.
Judging by appearance alone, Guanping was not a very impressive person. But everyone who encountered Guan Ping was afraid of him.
It may be because of the unique cold atmosphere. It wasn’t because his temper was like that, but because of the prayers he evoked from the martial arts he learned.
Jehwan felt sorry for him.
Everyone knows Confucius as a cold and cruel person. But he was someone who knew that Confucius was a fair and humane person.
And that he is a very talented person.
“Stop it and go on your way.”
“Gongja. Why don’t you take a carriage ride right now?”
Guanping shook his head.
“Why ride a carriage when you have two legs to walk on? It’s not that far away.”
“… … .”
“Walking slowly, looking at the surrounding scenery and seeing people’s faces. I like to walk.”
“All right.”
Jehwan knew why Gwanpyeong didn’t enjoy riding the carriage.
Guanping liked to observe people. To be precise, he was a person who valued reading the campus atmosphere.
The atmosphere of the organization can be read from the words and actions of the demons. However, he was not obsessed with walking simply to get a sense of the atmosphere.
A person who by nature does not like authority. Jehwan thought of Gwanpyeong as such a person.
‘People don’t know. How great a person Confucius is.’
The one who doesn’t reveal himself.
If Confucius decides and reveals his abilities, the school’s evaluation will be very different from now.
“Jehwan.”
“yes? Ah, yes.”
“What are you thinking so deeply about?”
“no. Sokha lost her mind for a while. sorry.”
“There are many things to be sorry about. By the way, how is your mother?”

“Ah, your condition is getting better. I hope you will regain your strength soon.”
Kwan Pyeong nodded.
“Good thing. I got some medicine from the blood soul. It is said to be an effective medicine for restoring stamina.
I’m not familiar with that, so I don’t know, but I hope it helps.”
“Hwang Gong.”
A light of emotion flashed on Jehwan’s face.
No matter how close he is, there are not many cases where he even takes care of his family. In that respect, Gwanpyeong was definitely a person with a human side.
Whether it’s sincere or made up.
Guanping looked up at the sky.
‘The air is hot.’
I didn’t catch the heat because it was cold, but the air was so hot that it was difficult to breathe.
‘I’m still not used to it.’
He was from the northeast of the central plains. The Northeast region was a place where the cold was stronger than the heat.
When he was young, he was selected as a disciple of the religious leader and started living a Protestant life, but it was not easy to get used to this heat.
Unlike the desolate and barren lands of the northeast region, the green forested southern landscape still felt awkward.
‘I have to get used to it.’
yeah, you should get used to it
‘To make this place my kingdom.’
Guan Ping’s eyes flashed.
He showed a good side of people, but he was also an ambitious person. No, he may be the one most obsessed with the presidency among his disciples.
But he did not reveal his ambitions outwardly.
It wasn’t that I was afraid of being checked by the brother-in-law or that I was worried that troublesome things would happen. He was a person who innately did not understand the feeling of fear.
The reason he didn’t reveal his ambition was simply that he didn’t like the hustle and bustle around him.
‘I’m a bit of an eccentric guy, to say I hate things that are complicated while having great ambition.’
how long did it take
Finally, the two saw the demon palace.
chuck.
Guanping stopped walking.
Gwan-pyeong looked up at the Demon Shrine, and a surprise that no one else knew arose in his eyes.
‘It’s amazing no matter how many times I see it.’
It is neither flashy nor flashy.
But it had an old-fashioned taste, it was grand and quiet at the same time. It was a building that was perfect for the dwelling of the absolute, the dwelling of a god.
‘Do you like it.’
Guanping’s face lightened slightly.
‘I live here and contemplate the world… … What a wonderful thing.’
The ambition that I have been trying to suppress suddenly soars.
The Absolute never behaves recklessly. The celestial people who shake the continent always quietly observe the world.
back.
The strength was in his hand that was holding it behind his back.
‘There’s no need to strike first. Even if it wasn’t me, they would bite each other on their own.’
The battle for succession is the most intense yet mysteriously boring fight.
For a while, the battle for succession was very boring. No one wanted to touch each other.
But a few months ago, a crack broke in that silent fight.
‘I didn’t expect the 4th to collapse like that.’
The fourth was a child who knew how to roll his head.
But he forgot something important. So, rather than being evaluated as wise, he was only evaluated for being good at short hair.
‘I should have properly grasped the opponent.’
Confidence that you are the most special.
Confidence is an important factor for a person, but if it is excessive, it becomes poison. The fourth was just that.
“… … third.”
“yes?”
“No.”
Guanping’s eyes deepened.
‘Looking at it that way, I must have misunderstood the third.’
After waking up from the haze, the third has changed to the point where I wonder if he has become a different person.
‘Perhaps the main fire artifice brought out the true nature of the sleeping guy.’
Guanping shook his head.
Knowing yourself well is just as important as knowing the other person well. For that reason, he came to the Demon Shrine on his own feet after a year.
‘Let’s not worry about the third.’
he said to the gatekeeper.
“Tell them that the second one is asking for an audience.”
The gatekeeper shook his head.
“I’m sorry, but today the Demon Shrine is prohibited from entering any outsiders.”
Guanping tilted his head.
“Is something happening in the Demon Palace?”
“The Three Gongja are having a private meeting with the teacher.”
“… … !”
“Come back tomorrow.”
Guanping’s face hardened.
Jehwan took a step forward.
“Could you please give me a word? As much as Confucius came to visit after a long time, the teacher also… … .”
“Please go back.”
It was a cold attitude.
Jehwan’s cheeks trembled.
“Ivo… … .”
“stop.”
Guanping turned around.
“Let’s go back.”
“But Gongja-nim.”
Gwanpyeong went back as if there was no regret at all. Seeing his back, Jehwan sighed and followed him.
Kwan Pyeong’s eyes became fierce.
‘Seoryang.’

“Take a drink.”
“yes.”
Seo Liang took a glass.
Lee Cheon-sang poured a drink and said.
“It’s Sichuan’s Geomnamchun.”
“It also smells good.”
“It’s worth drinking.”
After filling Xi Liang’s glass, he held out the glass.
Seo-liang politely clinked glasses and passed the drink coolly.
‘Great.’
poisonous And cool.
I feel like my stomach is rumbling. Although the body is not intoxicated, this feeling of passing through the esophagus and wandering around the stomach was definitely addictive.
“Good work.”
Xu Liang looked at the Lichen statue.
Lee Cheon-sang still had an indifferent expression.
Seo Liang, who had been staring at him with eyes wide open, lifted the bottle.
“Can I pour you a drink?”
Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes twinkled.
But that’s for a while.
“Follow me.”
Geomnamchun refills his glass with a squeaking sound.
Lee Cheon-sang, who received the cup, emptied it. It’s still a cool way to drink.
Seo Liang scratched his head.
“Sir.”
“Speak.”
“I’ve been curious about this for a long time, aren’t you sick? How can you drink this strong drink without a snack?”
It is a question of humanity. Lee Cheon-sang shook her head.
“I don’t want to spoil the flavor with food.”
“Ah, that’s right.”
Xi Liang grumbled inwardly. In case someone isn’t the best in the world, the camouflage is also made of steel.
Lee Cheon-sang refilled his cup.
“Didn’t you enjoy drinking?
Seo Liang flinched.
He himself would ask questions without hesitation, but he did not know that Lee Cheon-sang would ask such a question.
“I like. But these days, I haven’t been drunk at all.”
“I see quite a few.”
“I drink alcohol to get drunk, but no matter how much I pour in, I don’t get drunk, so I don’t think about it more and more.”
“Better than drinking and making mistakes.”
uh, that’s true
Seo Liang tilted his head. How come today, this man, unlike before, looked quite human.
‘Even though they are called unsalted demons, in the end, people are people… … .’
“for now.”
Surprised, Xu Liang looked at Li Tianxiang.
Lee Cheon-sang, who had filled his glass before he knew it, asked indifferently.
“I’d like to hear your impressions of how the swordsman’s vice-gungju was.”
“Oh, is that him?”
“And I also want to hear about the reason why he didn’t come back in time even though the inspection was over.”
Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes flashed.
“in detail.”
… … Sipa, it’s still there.
