Episode 27
Reason for Fighting (2)
Full Sang grinned.
His hair was messy, his face was caked with grime, and his clothes were tattered, but his teeth were shining white.
“Dragon Head Ark? It’s fun just to imagine it. Unfortunately, Master’s life is tougher than whale sinews. “I think the next few years will be a long way off.”
“….”
“By the way, you know this beggar, but the beggar doesn’t know you? Let’s see. Let’s use all the intelligence we have had for over 20 years to hit him…”
“My name is Yeonhojeong.”
“Ugh?”
Yeon Ho-jeong rarely took possession of the gun.
“This is Yeon Ho-jeong, the eldest son of the Jiangsu Byeoksan Yeonga. Nice to meet you.”
Full-sang’s eyes widened.
It was a polite and formal greeting. At least there was no sign of ignoring the other person.
“Uh… okay, nice to meet you.”
He was secretly surprised.
Opening is a Bangpa that stands shoulder to shoulder with the Seven Great Families of the Old Daemun Sect. However, it was also the Bangpa most avoided by children of prestigious families.
The reason was simple. This is because all of Open Island represent beggars.
Strong and experienced martial arts people recognize the greatness of openness, but young men and women are different. It was just a dirty beggar, so I was anxious to avoid it.
Looking at it that way, Yeon Ho-jeong’s greeting definitely had something special about it.
‘You see it in places like this.’
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes as he looked at Full-sang were filled with sincere kindness.
It has to be that way. Even though the White Island had built up a power comparable to that of the martial arts, the Black Island was looked down upon as a black island. However, Full Sang sincerely treated Heukdo as a comrade in arms.
During those dreary times, Yeon Ho-jeong was one of the few people who had human kindness.
“How long has it been since I received a greeting like this?”
Full-sang scratched his head. When you look at it, it looks like it might have dandruff, but surprisingly, there wasn’t anything like that.
“So, are you the engineer of the Yeonga family?”
Yeon Ji-pyeong took control with moderation.
“The greeting was late. His name is Yeon Ji-pyeong, a scholar of the Jiangsu Byeoksan Yeonga clan. “It is an honor to see the aftermath of the opening.”
Yeon Ji-pyeong’s greeting was also polite and formal. Since it was their first meeting, there was no need to show favor or anything, but at least there was no sign of belittling the other person.
Full-sang hesitated for no reason. It’s a very nice greeting, but I don’t know what kind of face to make.
But I understand one thing.
‘her! It’s so different from what you heard, isn’t it?’
Yeon Ho-jeong asked with a smile.
“Are you finished eating?”
“meal? Oh, we just finished. I ate until my stomach exploded. “I can’t even remember how long it’s been since I had such delicious food.”
“It’s a shame. If it’s okay, let’s have lunch together.”
Yeon Ji-pyeong looked at Yeon Ho-jeong in surprise. He had never seen his brother ask someone to eat first.
Full-sang nodded with a worried face.
“That’s right.”
“Then rest in peace.”
“Oh, you too.”
Just like that, the Yeon brothers entered the restaurant.
After looking at the backs of his brothers, Full-sang quenched his appetite.
“I tried to dig into every detail, starting with the castle tower, but I was quickly ambushed.”
Could it be that Yeon Ho-jeong knew the intentions of this team and hit the player?
‘That’s not right.’
To become a successor to openness, an eye for people is essential. In Moon Geun-sang’s view, Yeon Ho-jeong’s kindness was extremely pure.
‘That’s why it’s even weirder.’
It was a time when I was scratching my head in discomfort.
“Do you regret it?”
Full-sang turned his head.
There was a young American man wearing a blue sword. He was a rare and handsome man dressed stylishly in silk clothes.
Full Sang grinned.
“The son of the Nangong family?”
Nam Gung-hyeon took the lead.
“My name is Namgunghyeon. Nice to meet you.”
“Oh, nice to meet you too.”
“But what happens here?”
“I stopped by because I had some work to do nearby, but didn’t you happen to be holding a review meeting? The smell coming out the front door is amazing. “You came in without losing face.”
Namgoonghyun frowned slightly.
Since the Seven Majors is a gathering of late-stage exponents, there is no need to argue further if someone has given permission. But wasn’t it the Namgung family that hosted this meeting? I should have given you a hint in advance.
Besides, being a beggar in a place where children of prestigious families gather? No matter how open I was, I couldn’t feel good.
“I hope you have fun.”
After formal greetings, Namgoong Hyun also headed to the restaurant.
Full-sang grinned.
“This is normal.”
I felt bad and had nothing to do. He was already over 30 years old and had a wealth of experience as a strongman.
However, I was concerned about Yeon Ho-jeong. The look in his eyes was so clear.

“Have you ever met me before?”
* * *
“doesn’t exist.”
“Oh, I see.”
“I’ve been stuck at home, but when would I have seen a small owner of openness?”
“I guess so.”
“why?”
“It’s the first time I’ve seen you ask someone else to eat first.”
is it?
Now that I think about it, it seems like that. Even during the time of the Emperor of Darkness, he enjoyed eating alone, except when gathering forces or having strong political intentions.
‘It’s still the same.’
Full Sang’s smile was still clear. I thought that it would not be easy for a person who was the head of information for the Baekdo martial arts group to be so gentle.
‘hmm?’
Yeon Ho-jeong tilted his head as a sudden thought occurred to him.
‘But he didn’t come to the past meeting?’
I never saw Full Sang during my life as the Emperor of Darkness, that is, during the later Jisoo meetings I participated in before returning to the past.
That was certain. Because I saw the character Full-sang himself after he became Lord of Heukje Castle.
‘Why now?’
what? Am I remembering wrong? That can’t be possible?
‘If I remember correctly, the past has changed?’
As I thought about that, my thoughts also extended to the Zhuge siblings.
‘In the past, I didn’t stop by Chosunru. But I stopped by this time. If it weren’t for us, the Zhuge siblings would definitely have been beaten by that crazy guy who learned the Yin Flower Red Style.’
This is certain. The guy who was talking about Brain Fire Ark or something would have set fire to the fire just like before, and due to the nature of the Zhuge siblings, they would have fought back instead of running away.
So what happened to the Zhuge siblings in their previous lives?
My thoughts continued to linger.
‘The Zhuge family existed back then. Although the family fortunes declined significantly, fortunately, the family was able to maintain its reputation thanks to the support of other families.’
And that family….
“Can you excuse me for a moment?”
Yeon Ho-jeong raised his head.
There stood a middle-aged prosecutor with a stylishly trimmed beard. The blue long sword hanging on his perfectly tailored attire gave off an eerie atmosphere.
‘Namgoong!’
The middle-aged prosecutor frowned.
“Is there something on my face?”
“I looked at you because you looked good.”
The prosecutor’s eyebrows twitched. Because it somehow sounded like he was making fun of himself.
“But who are you?”
“hmm! “It’s called Chuseong (秋晟).”
“…?”
“I am the captain of the guard who brought Prince Namgung to this meeting.”
Someone eating nearby took a deep breath.
“Rainhyeok (雷俠) Chu-seong?!”
The murmur grew louder.
He seemed to be a fairly famous expert. Yeon Ji-pyeong also looked up at Chu-seong with surprised eyes.
However, Yeon Ho-jeong did not know who Chu-seong was. It was a name that had not been heard even when he came into the world and conquered the Black Island and reigned as the Lord of the Black Emperor.
“however?”
Chu Seong’s face was noticeably distorted.
Even though he belonged to the Namgung family, he was an adult over 40 years old. Since he was a guard warrior, he was good at engineering, but I couldn’t help but be angry when I saw the crooked appearance of the much younger Jisu Ji.
Yeon Ji-pyeong woke up thinking it was a mistake.
“Let’s sit in the front first.”
Chu-seong, who was looking down at Yeonhojeong, sat across from him. He didn’t even look at Yeon Ji-pyeong.
Chu-seong opened his mouth.
“I’ll tell you straight.”
“Sure.”
“The banquet will begin at noon today.”
“I know.”
“Get out of here before the banquet.”
At that moment, Yeon Ji-pyeong’s eyes widened.
“What does that mean?”
“Didn’t you hear? Then let me say it again. “I asked you to leave the manor before the noon banquet begins today.”
Unlike Yeon Ji-pyeong, who was embarrassed, Yeon Ho-jeong’s expression did not change.
No, there was a change. An interesting expression appeared on Yeon Ho-jeong’s face. Although it is extremely small.
“Do you want me to go out?”
“exactly.”
“The reason is?”
“Since ancient times, there has never been an unfortunate incident at a meeting of the late leaders of the Seven Great Families. “But you have thrown this prestigious and historic meeting into disarray.”
Chu Seong’s eyes were extremely cold.
“You are not qualified to participate in this meeting. “I trust you know better yourself.”
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was listening to Chu-seong’s words, glanced at the window at the end of the restaurant.
Namgunghyeon was there. I was sitting in front of a sunny table drinking tea, and the sight was truly elegant.
At that time, a crashing sound was heard.
“That’s ridiculous!”
The person who stood up and shouted so loudly that the chair fell over was Yeon Ji-pyeong.
“Yesterday’s incident has already been resolved! My brother also said he would apologize to everyone at the banquet today! But now you’re asking me to leave?!”
“Before it’s a question of apples, it’s a question of dignity. Moreover, it is questionable whether he is truly reflecting on the act of coming out to a restaurant in the morning and showing his natural face.”
“Don’t be pushy! What does showing up at a restaurant have to do with reflection? Also, dignity is….”
“I said everything I had to say. “I don’t want you to blush anymore because of this, so please leave before the banquet.”
With those words, Chu-seong got up from his seat.
But Yeon Ji-pyeong’s words were not over.
“Definitely!”
A loud voice echoed throughout the restaurant.
The voice was so loud that it was hard to believe that it was Yeon Ji-pyeong’s voice, who was always busy laughing. It was enough to surprise everyone here.
“You are a guard warrior of the Han family. “Your job is to protect Prince Nangong, not to discuss the qualifications of those who participated.”
Chu Seong smiled coldly.
“Is that really the case?”
“what do you mean?”
“The hosting family of the Seven Great Generations meeting changes once every five years. And the family hosting this year’s meeting is the Namgung family.”
“…!”
“I, along with Confucius Nangong, have been given authority over the overall operation of this meeting. “And directly to the head of the family.”
“….”
“Yesterday, Master Lee cleaned up the place, so I didn’t come forward, but today is different. “Gongja Lee was kind-hearted and ended up tidying up the place, but I have no intention of ignoring any risk factors that could ruin the meeting.”
Yeon Ji-pyeong was embarrassed. Did you receive orders directly from the head of the Nangong family? No matter how much I thought about it, it was hard to believe.
But Yeon Ji-pyeong didn’t know.
The late index meeting was not just a meeting, but had a strong tendency to promote friendship. So, we hold a banquet and provide alcohol and food.
However, there is a high risk of accidents occurring due to youthful energy. The hosting family sends a trustworthy person to cover up such an unavoidable incident.
Yeon Ji-pyeong had never been the host of a meeting in her life. No, this was my first time participating in a meeting. I had no choice but to not know such details.
“The hosting family has the right to expel any matter or person that is problematic for the meeting. There were countless such customs. “There’s nothing special about what I’m doing now.”
“profit!”
“I think this is enough to understand. “If you both want to save face, it would be better for you to leave quietly.”
A look of embarrassment appeared on Yeon Ji-pyeong’s face.
It was then.
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was looking at Nam Gung-hyeon from a long distance away, opened her mouth.
“Jipyeong.”
“…Yes, brother.”
“Sit down and eat without getting upset.”
Yeon Ho-jeong picked up a piece of Dongpo Pork and took a big bite.
“Tsk tsk tsk, did you forget what your father said? Be careful to distinguish whether the other person is a human or an animal. “Even I, a nerd, can tell the difference, so you can’t do that.”
“…gulp.”
“Eat it quickly. It’s going to get cold.”
