Episode 197. Nasty Seeds (3)
“Ah, can’t it be?”
“I think so too… … Anyway, the headmaster says he will confirm his successor this year. You should be in a hurry.”
“Isn’t it also a rumor that the headmaster is finalizing the succession? It is not definitive information.”
“Well, if you say that, I have nothing to say.”
“It’s all rumors. Even if that were the case, how could someone as bold as Sam Gongja-nim sacrifice the young Chil-gongnyeo?”
“No one knows about that.”
“You spoke well. It’s pointless to talk about things no one knows when nothing is certain.”
“Is it a saying?”
“You are laughing.”
“By the way, I don’t think the rumors are very unreliable again?”
“ok?”
“Did you know that all the other candidates were called to the Demon Palace before Sam Gongja-nim returned home?”
“Did you?”
“I didn’t know either. I heard from the children of the seven generations that the faces of the candidates coming out of the Demon Palace were serious.”
“hmm… … .”
“Anyway, the situation is going to get a little messy. I hope it’s nothing big.”
Although it was a long distance away, the conversation between the two demons could be heard clearly in the ears of Seo Liang, who had sharpened senses.
‘As expected, it spread.’
Sometimes rumors are scarier than the truth.
People’s personalities are so cunning, they bite off clear pros and cons when it comes to the truth, but they like to inflate rumors to an infinite extent. There is a reason why all kinds of noises come out, such as disappearance or sudden death just because the munpa munju of the next door did not show his face at an official event.
If such rumors do not stop at ‘suspicion’ and enter ‘fanaticism’, it becomes a serious problem.
‘Public opinion is obviously a great weapon, but it can’t be a decisive factor in winning or losing. The guy who promoted the rumor would know that.’
So, what is the root cause of the spread of these rumors?
‘It’s about controlling movement.’
Will you use a child as a sacrifice to win the succession battle?
I can’t go outside recklessly, whether I have the intention or not. They have no choice but to try hard not to give public opinion the impression that the rumors are true.
Don’t care about rumors? It’s a problem though.
If you go out as usual, the rumors will snowball. No matter what, public opinion is a powerful means of control, and in the end, only the person concerned suffers.
Word of mouth can easily tie a person’s limbs. It was the power of illusions and lies.
Seo Liang said to Chae Yeo-min.
“Have you heard?”
“yes? What?”
“People say that. I will hurt Yeo-min.”
Chae Yeo-min’s eyes widened.
“is it so?”
“There were rumors like that.”
“Your brother can’t hurt me, can you?”
I haven’t seen him a few times, but Seo Ryang was already firmly attached to Chae Yeo-min as a benefactor.
Seo Liang smiled.
“yes.”
“Then why did such a rumor spread?”
“So it is. Besides, there are many people who actually believe the rumors.”
Chae Yeo-min shook her head resolutely.
“They are fools. It can’t be.”
“I see. They are fools.”
“Yes, they are all fools. without knowing our situation.”
The face of Sodang, who was following the two, turned slightly red. Isn’t he also on the list of people who called him an idiot?
But she didn’t miss the tension.
‘I have to keep one thing in mind.’
That’s why it’s hard to protect people. Even the obvious truth is not seen as the truth. Even if Seo Liang had a blood relationship with Chae Yeo-min, he would have suspected it.
“But brother.”
“hmm?”
Chae Yeo-min’s eyes twinkled.
“Please repeat what you said earlier.”
“Oh, the Beast Palace?”
“yes! Are there that many animals?”
be an animal
That’s right. Because beasts are animals too.
Seo Liang smiled.
“I haven’t seen that much. But with one of them, I built up a good friendship. I will show you later.”
“really?”
Chae Yeo-min was pleased. When she met her, she learned martial arts, studied, and lived a hard life. To her, her existence as Seo Liang was more than a mere benefactor.
Seo Liang ate his appetite.
“You have to be careful instead. It’s because my temperament isn’t normal. If anything, I’ll feed you honey chestnuts.”
Go to the Heavenly Demon’s Thunderstorm.
Chae Yeo-min, who laughed at the anticipation, clapped her hands.
“ah! and I have one more question.”

“hmm? What?”
“Brother, are you by any chance trying to become the heir?”
For a moment, Sodang’s eyes fluttered.
“Go, princess!”
“huh?”
“Such words… … .”
Seo Liang shrugged.
“of course. I will definitely try to be the successor.”
“is it so?”
“huh. I have a dream.”
“What kind of dream is this?”
“It is a bit scary dream to tell Yeo-min. In any case, in order to achieve that dream, it is more convenient to become the next successor.”
Chae Yeo-min’s eyes brightened.
“Tell me what kind of dream it is.”
“hmm… … .”
How do I explain this?
Seo Liang, who was rolling her eyes, said awkwardly.
“To annihilate the Uicheon Meng.”
Sodang opened his mouth wide. What would you say to a young girl now?
Chae Yeo-min tilted her head.
“Why are you trying to kill the Uicheon Meng?”
“Okay? It’s complicated to explain… … They are bad guys anyway.”
“Aren’t we the bad guys?”
Seo Liang looked at Sudang with reproachful eyes. I couldn’t figure out what the hell he was talking about.
One was an idiot who had never talked to a child, and the other was a demon to the core. In the end, it was either Seoryang or Sodang or something.
“At least to me, the Uicheonmen are the worst.”
“is that so?”
“huh. It should be called Cheolcheon Jiwon.”
Chae Yeo-min frowned and rubbed her chin with her index finger. The figure was so cute that Xu Liang laughed unconsciously.
“If someone else becomes the successor, won’t you be able to punish the Uicheon Meng?”
“I can scold you. But not as much as me.”
“okay.”
After thinking for a while, Chae Yeo-min smiled and said.
“Then I won’t be the heir.”
Sodang’s eyes widened.
“Princess!”
“why?”
“That, that can’t be!”
“Why not?”
“How can you say such weak words as a disciple of the teacher? Considering His grace, you should do your best!”
“Your brother is also Master’s disciple, right?”
“but… … !”
How do I explain this? Sudang felt that he was at a loss for words.
Seoryang was also surprised by Seoryang.
“You say you won’t be an heir? Don’t you want to be?”
“I want to be.”
“Then why do you want to give up? Are you just giving up because you want to be me?”
“That’s right, uhm… … .”
Chae Yeo-min pursed her lips.
“I want to be for Sodang. But I don’t want to be myself.”
It’s not easy to understand at first glance. However, Xi Liang immediately understood her words.
“You want to fulfill the expectations of the people around you, but it’s not your dream.”
“yes.”
A look of sympathy appeared on the sage’s face.
‘I knew, but he had a really hard life.’
An ignorant child entered the school and lived a thoroughly controlled life. At an age where you want to play for a while, you have to learn tough martial arts and study hard enough to make your head cramp.
only to be the best.
Many of the famous Moorim families go through this process and take responsibility for the next generation of Moorim. Perhaps if Seo Liang had gone through such a process, he would have yelled at me to work hard and not talk nonsense.
‘A life deprived of personal freedom is a very terrible thing.’
Seo Liang nodded.
“I get it. Then this brother will work hard until the woman’s share.”
“yes! I will cheer you on!”
“thanks.”
Sodang cried out in surprise.
“It’s not possible! Princess, the battle for succession is… … !”
“hey.”
Seo Liang frowned.
“Are you going to keep interfering?”
“sorry. But I am the Princess… … .”
“You’re a maid.”
“… … !”
“Should Yeomin meet your expectations? What are you? Don’t try to suit Yeo-min according to your tastes, but work hard to help Yeo-min so that she can grow into a decent adult.”
“Well, I wasn’t trying to live up to my expectations! but… … .”
“I’m sorry to keep interrupting you, but I don’t even want to hear what you have to say. And I’ll tell you one last thing.”
There was a subtle demonic energy in Xu Liang’s eyes.
Sodang’s face turned pale. The moment I saw his eyes, a terrifying fear came over me.
“Even though Yeomin is young, she is not as ignorant as you think.”
Seo Liang looked at Chae Yeo-min and asked.
“yes?”
“yes. It is, but… … .”
Chae Yeo-min lightly gripped Seo-ryang’s collar.
“Do not fight.”
“uh? oh no fighting It’s just a conversation, a conversation.”
It should be a fight in the first place.
“Let’s go anyway. It’s all right now.”
As soon as the wide street came out, the eyes of the people around them rushed to the three people.
Everyone who made eye contact shook their heads. Xu Liang nodded his head one by one and greeted them.
how long did it take
Xu Liang felt the eyes on him increase one by one.
‘The spread of rumors is faster than expected. As expected, there is someone who encouraged it behind the scenes.’
now i’m sure No, even if it was just a rumor, you have to believe it and move on.
‘There is a way to put to rest such sudden rumors in one shot.’
Contrary to what I thought, Seo Liang moved with chatter with Chae Yeo-min. It was very awkward when we first met, but since we opened our hearts and approached each other in a friendly way, there was no particular difficulty in conversation.
It was also because he had clarified his life goals. Now that he has freed himself from the compulsion to break away from the Heavenly Demon Religion and has realized what his true goal is, he has nothing to distance himself from.
After another moment, the three of them arrived in front of Jin Gwan-yong’s residence.
Surprisingly, there were a lot of people who secretly followed the three people. It was very impolite, but the demons knew how angry Xu Liang was in the rumors. At least I believe that I am not the one to take issue with this.
Xiliang satisfied their faith. It’s not unpleasant, and even if it’s unpleasant, I had to hold them for now.
“Ohh, indeed, the residence of the Archduke is different no matter what.”
In front of the splendid gate, the gate guard was standing at the bean. The atmosphere was different from that of the other disciples.
After dropping off Chae Yeo-min, who had been holding him all the time, Xu Liang said.
“Tell them that the Three Princesses and the Seven Princesses have come. If you tell him to have a cup of tea or something, he will know.”
The gatekeeper’s eyes twitched.
But that’s for a while.
“Please wait a moment.”
“okay.”
The gate guard who opened the door and entered returned in half an hour.
“You can go inside.”
“ok?”
“… … yes?”
“What are you talking about? I did not come to enter this house.”
“Um, what are you talking about… … .”
“I told you, let’s have a cup of tea. But I don’t want to drink here.”
Seo Liang smiled.
“Would you be responsible if the person who promoted rumors that didn’t work went into the house and died without even knowing a mouse or a bird?”
“… … !”
“Tell me again. Yes, I will wait for you, so come out immediately. Tell them to go to Zamiru.”
Everyone’s eyes were focused on Xu Liang. They were distracted by the fact that they encouraged rumors rather than Xi Liang’s cheeky arrogance.
A look of drowsiness spread across the sage’s face.
“Ah, if you don’t want to look bad in the fourth residence, you must also tell them to come inside.”
