Episode 878
Lord of the King of Fist (3)
I don’t remember. Since when did I have such deep feelings for you?
From the moment they first saw each other, Nam Gung-hyeon harbored feelings for Jegal A-yeon.
It had to be that way. From a young age, Zhuge Yan had both amazing beauty and intelligence, and was unassuming for a child from a prestigious family.
Even when she smiled, she was different from the countless women who covered their mouths out of concern for what people around them thought. He was nice, but at the same time he had no hesitation.
A completely different person from the women who acted coquettishly in front of him. He didn’t ask for anything, as if he had nothing to regret, and he didn’t seem to admire Namgung’s name.
At first I thought it was arrogant. Even though he was famous as a famous family like Zhuge Emperor, he could not compare to Nangong in terms of power and influence. I fell in love at first sight, but I didn’t admit it.
However, as time passed, Zhuge Yan became even more beautiful, and Nam Gung-hyeon could not sleep at night thinking about her.
Year after year passed like this until now.
He could have made her his woman in the middle. I actually did it, and I couldn’t tell you how much my heart was pounding during that time.
However, the marriage did not take place.
The head of the Zhuge family, who thought he would just smile and nod his head, refused to marry.
Afterwards, Zhuge Yan lived an active life as if he was free from all restraints. At least it seemed that way in Namgoong Hyeon’s eyes.
Do you hate me that much? Is it so ugly?
It was when Jegal Zinc started hanging out with Han Hui Jisoo that his self-esteem, which had already collapsed, was rekindled.
Yeonhojeong.
A genius warrior who became a new saint of his time and is difficult to find even if we search through history and modern times.
Unlike Zhuge Yan, he was someone I didn’t like from the first time I met him.
So, they deliberately tried to cause disgrace by causing a quarrel with the family’s warriors. However, he overwhelmed the warrior who was a top expert and received everyone’s praise.
It didn’t end there. Suddenly, he appeared in the martial arts world and continued his success, winning the title of the world’s best late-stage index. Unbelievably, he reached the rank of Seongcheon and was even called the greatest genius of all time.
Currently, Namgoonghyeon has reached a position where he cannot even dare to look at him. That made Namgoong Hyun’s jealousy soar to the top.
I couldn’t forget the insult I received on the way to the newly established Murim Alliance. His resentment towards Zhuge Yan, who was not interested in him, actually faded with the appearance of Yeon Ho-jeong.
Now, all that was left to him was a love that was much deeper than before and a never-ending jealousy toward Yeon Ho-jeong.
In that situation, I now see Zhuge Zhen.
“It’s zinc.”
Namgoonghyun’s voice was trembling slightly.
Zhuge Yan lowered his head.
“Gongja Lee.”
Namgoonghyun’s eyes slightly shook.
Are you Gongja Lee?
“How can you call me that?”
Zhuge Yan said in a monotonous voice.
“I am a soldier of the Murim Alliance’s military unit, the Uijeong Army.”
“…!”
“I’m on my way back after studying the new military strategy of Uijeong-gun along with the election of the leader. “I came here for official business, so please treat me as the son of Namgung.”
She firmly draws a line with her beautiful voice.
Namgoonghyeon opened his mouth.
“You are a soldier of the Uijeonggun, but I am not here on official duty. “Isn’t there a need to divide up the work by considering it one by one?”
Although it may seem a bit pathetic, it is not entirely wrong. This is because Zhuge Yan will not talk about official duties and ask others to treat him like a soldier.
“Is there anything else you want to say?”
“…Zinc.”
“If there isn’t one, the report is urgent so I’ll go first.”
Zhuge Yan walked out in stride.
Zhugejun looked at his sister with strange eyes, nodded to Namgunghyeon and followed her.
Namgunghyeon, who was left alone, did not look at Zhuge Yan. No, I couldn’t do that.
My clenched fist was shaking. A rough energy was pulsating from Namgoonghyeon’s body as he bit his lip.
“sister.”
Zhuge Jun, who quickly followed behind Zhuge Yan, asked.
“Why did you do that?”
“what.”
“I know it’s an awkward relationship, but there was no need to react so coldly.”
Zhuge Yan shook his head.
“I guess you didn’t know because you were in class at the time.”
“yes?”
“Do you know why things have been so difficult for my family?”
There was a time when the Zhuge family, which was doing well, was suddenly in trouble as its finances deteriorated and businesses closed.
In other words, until just a few years ago, Zhuge was the last person of the Seven Dynasties, if not the Sixth Dynasty. Considering the history before that, it was a significant fall.
“It’s because of Namgung.”
“…!!”
“It’s precisely because of Namgoongin, the head of the family at the time. “He did not have as much talent as the old Geomje, so he wanted to increase his family’s power through politics, not martial arts, and become the best in the world.”
“Then how can it be?”
“okay. “The reason our business closed and transactions stopped was all because of Namgung’s tricks.”
Zhuge Jun’s eyes deepened.
Do not show any signs of anger carelessly. It was a very calm expression that showed Jegal Jun’s growth.
Zhuge Yan sighed.
“Nevertheless, the reason we did not condemn it was because we should not fight each other at a time when we should be one. At least that’s what my father thought.”
“….”

“Besides, after my father took charge of the Murim Alliance’s military, Namgung couldn’t touch us anymore. I can’t do that. Unless a leader emerges, the military position is no different from the highest authority in the Murim Alliance.”
In fact, after Zhuge Master ascended to military service, various businesses and clans sent treasures to Zhuge Dynasty and proposed transactions.
That’s how life is. When it collapses, they cut off their hands and say, “Oh my gosh,” but when it starts to rise, most people pretend not to notice and jump on the bandwagon.
“Meanwhile, there was a family that helped us even before my father became a soldier.”
“Where are you?”
“Yeonga.”
Zhuge Jun’s eyes wavered.
A smile appeared on Zhuge Zhen’s cold face.
“Of course, there was no help such as outright support or funding. However, the Yeon family is the only family that supported us knowingly or unknowingly, starting with Hojeong, who destroyed the Nine Ju Myeong family.”
“I see.”
“Hojeong is my friend. But before you are a friend, you are a benefactor.”
“He is also my benefactor.”
“huh?”
Zhuge Jun smiled.
“Have you forgotten? “Didn’t Brother Hojeong catch the villains who were burning down the base during our first meeting?”
“It did. “When I think about it, we’ve been receiving help from Hojeong since then.”
“If you hadn’t cleaned up that place back then, my sister and I would have been in a terrible situation.”
Zhuge Zhenyan chuckled.
“We’ve really been entangled for a long time.”
“But is that all?”
“huh? what?”
Zhuge Jun glanced back.
I could see Namgoonghyeon in the distance. It looked a little sad to see him still standing there in confusion.
“I drew a line because of the Namgung family.”
“….”
Zhuge Zhenyan stopped walking.
She looked up at the sky. It was cold, but the sky was clear.
“A wedding came in from Namgung.”
“I know. “He was a scholar named Namgunghyeon.”
“Are you asking knowingly?”
“I’m saying this because I feel like I’ve drawn a line that goes beyond what’s necessary.”
Zhuge Yan smiled bitterly.
“Is there anything more burdensome than the blind affection of someone you don’t like?”
“….”
“Regardless of family issues, it would be cruel to be nice to someone who has feelings for you. “This side has no intention of joining hands and envisioning a future together.”
“Is that so?”
“It’s really cruel to give hope when it’s unattainable.”
“Do you feel burdened?”
“Yes you b*stard.”
Zhuge Jun chuckled.
“I guess your sister is a good girl. Even though we are brother and sister, I recognize your beauty.”
“Have you finally figured it out, you b*stard?”
“The problem is that, except for his looks, he looks like an old man in everything.”
“Shut up, you b*stard!”
Zhuge Yan, who shouted exaggeratedly, giggled and started walking again.
Zhuge Jun’s mouth opened again.
“sister.”
“Oh why again! “Why are you so curious?”
“Then what about Brother Hojeong?”
“…!”
As if I had been hit by an unexpected blow.
Zhuge Zhenyan stopped walking without realizing it.
Zhuge Jun, who was quietly examining her face, shook his head.
“I said something pointless. Let’s go.”
“It’s Hojeong….”
The voice was filled with some vague sadness.
Soon, Zhuge Yan smiled and said.
“Yes, if you say Hojeong is good, I think you can live a fun life.”
Zhuge Jun looked at her with surprised eyes.
“But whatever.”
Zhuge Yan shrugged his shoulders.
“Because he’s so busy. Moreover, just like you said, he treats me like an old man. “There is no chance of this continuing.”
“…Is that so.”
Even though he answered calmly, Zhuge Jun was able to interpret the hidden meaning in Zhuge Zhen’s words.
‘If only Brother Hojeong said he liked it…?’
In other words, it can be seen that Jegal A-yeon himself has some feelings for Yeon Ho-jeong.
‘Of course.’
Even if only half of the rumors circulating around Joongwon were true, Yeon Ho-jeong could be said to be a truly attractive man.
Of course, the Zhuge Yan that Zhuge Jun knew was not a person who admired someone based on their background or reputation. However, from the younger brother’s point of view, a person with that level of ability can be said to be the best brother-in-law.
‘I don’t know if that’s actually the case. Because I am not your sister. ‘I said that men and women think very differently, so maybe I’m mistaken.’
It was then.
“uh?”
Someone was walking languidly from afar.
“what? “When did you come in?”
A friendly yet familiar, extremely free-spirited yet comfortable voice.
It was Yeonhojeong. Yeonhojeong was approaching from the direction of Museongjeon.
Zhuge Jun, who was smiling with joy, suddenly looked at Zhuge Zhen.
Zhuge Zhen’s face was a little flushed. It was the bright face of his sister that Zhuge Jun had never seen before, with a completely different expression from when he met anyone else.
“Howdy! How have you been?”
Zhuge Yan said this in an angry voice.
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
“You’re still the same.”
“Neither you nor I will ever be able to change our personalities.”
“is it.”
“Anyway, did you personally come to the Murim Alliance because you had something to target, Lord Sobu?”
“Oh, stop. “I’m already so tired.”
“If you went there all of a sudden, who are you mad at?”
“Okay, so go ahead and take a look. “I don’t know what the report is about.”
“What are you doing later? “Would you like to eat something after a long time?”
“I am not an idle person like you. “When I’m bored, I come to Pagungak and chat with people.”
The two people giggled and had a pleasant conversation.
Zhuge Zhen’s smiling face looked even brighter than before. It was as if starlight was pouring down on my bright face.
Then, Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes immediately turned to Zhuge Jun.
“But who are you?”
Zhuge Jun bowed his head, sighing.
“It’s been a while, brother.”
“Ohh? You can’t believe it, Jegal….”
“….”
“Jeon?”
“This is Jun, brother. “Have you forgotten?”
“Haha, it’s been a while. How have you been? “You’re a complete adult, right?”
The three people chatted and laughed loudly.
It is a conversation between handsome men and women that will make anyone smile pleasantly. Their appearance, which naturally energizes them just by looking at them, is truly the essence of vibrant youth.
As the three people walked down the street laughing and chatting.
From a long way away, Nam Gung-hyeon was looking at the three people with bloodshot eyes.
What was in those red eyes were terrifying jealousy, intense anger, and extreme emotions that couldn’t be defined.
Time passed and times changed.
Now, Jungwon, which suffered from measles knowingly or unknowingly due to the return of the three religions, has regained its original form.
Even at this point when a new leader of the Murim Alliance was to be born, darkness was gathering.
In the Murim Alliance, where everyone gathers, everyone smiles, and everyone is busy.
A ray of black will was slowly raising its head.
