Episode 72
self-interest
The person standing in front of the door was Peng Kangxiong, the grand duke of the Hebei Peng family.
He shrugged his shoulders with a huge smile.
“It’s been a while since I wanted to see your face. “Did it get in your way?”
“little bit.”
“this. I’m sorry. Actually, that’s not the only reason I came. “Would you like to talk to me for a moment?”
“Of course.”
Peng Kang-woong entered the room and sat down.
He stared at Jeong Gwang’s face and opened his mouth.
“I heard it from my father. “You turned down the position of leader of the Earth Dragon.”
“yes.”
“Honestly, I have to say I was a bit surprised. “Why did you do that?”
Jeong Gwang could clearly see Peng Gangwoong’s intentions.
‘This guy. He came to see me.’
Moreover, he doesn’t even hide his expression.
The face looks interested in how the concentrate will turn out.
‘How far do you want to go?’
Jeong Gwang became curious.
“Your body is tied up. “What are you doing with that?”
“Is that just why?”
“yes.”
“Don’t you have any plans to do this in the future?”
“of course.”
“… … .”
Paeng Kang-woong, who had been silent, chuckled.
“You can’t believe you kicked away your position on top of all the review indices. You are a fool. “No, is he really a Taoist?”
“hmm. “It’s neither.”
“ha ha ha. Yes, you are a genius among geniuses, so you are not interested in such vain status. “What do you plan to do next?”
“To have fun.”
“Enjoy… … ?”
Paeng Kang-woong, who was repeating Jeong Gwang’s words, shook his head.
“Almost everything in the world is difficult and painful, so you want to take it easy alone. “Will that work?”
“We have to make it happen.”
“no. It’s going to be hard. “Kangho won’t leave you alone.”
“Are you Kangho?”
“I see. “The name Jinokryong is already firmly embedded in the minds of powerful people.”
Peng Kang-woong’s eyes became sharp.
“In the not-too-distant future, Murim will revolve around you. Even the things you did without thinking will be a big deal to the powerful people. “It has a completely different meaning depending on who receives it.”
He paused for a moment and then asked heavily.
“What do you plan to do then?”
What should I do?
Due to Jeonggwang’s nature, there was only one answer.
“I won’t worry about it.”
“… … why?”
“Why should I use it?”
“… … “Shouldn’t we clear up the misunderstanding?”
Jeong Gwang shook his head.
“No matter how much I explain to those people, they will continue to misunderstand. “They accepted it by turning it in the direction they wanted, so it will continue to be like that from then on.”
“… … “That’s too extreme.”
“Of course, there are people who don’t. But how do you take care of each and every one of them? “It’s better to just leave it alone.”
Peng Kang-woong tapped the table with his fingers and asked.
“… … What if? What if someone misunderstands you and rejects you? “Even if they attack you.”
Jeong Gwang laughed.
It was a cool smile that made the person who saw it feel good.
But Paeng Kang-ung got goosebumps all over his body.
It was because Jeong Gwang’s eyes were cold and frozen, as if warning.
“What can you do?”
Jeong Gwang clasped his hands together and muttered.
“Muryangsubul.”
“… … ?”
“We should send it to a good place.”
“… … !”
* * *
Jeong Gwang sighed as he watched the back of Peng Kang Woong walking away.
‘You have to do your best to float. ‘He’s a greedy guy.’
I asked him if he was really not interested in the position of Lord of the Earth Dragons and even asked about his future actions.
Moreover, there is even a question about what to do if you are ‘misunderstood’.

Of course, among those who would have that misunderstanding would be Paeng Kang-woong.
Since he gave a clear answer to that question, it was obvious what action Peng Kang-woong would take.
‘He’s going to do something.’
No matter how much I said that he was not interested in fame and power, he was not someone I could trust.
why?
Because Peng Kang-woong was a guy who lived to grab them.
If he grows up like that, he might become a good competitor to Namgung Hwain.
‘People like that believe that others will be greedy as much as they are greedy.’
And he mercilessly swings his sword at anyone who poses a threat to him.
Of course, the same would apply to Jeong Gwang.
‘You said it was a sword dragon that occupied one of the previous Guryongsabong peaks, right? I’m looking forward to seeing how it turns out.’
Jeong Gwang rubbed his hands together and laughed.
This is because the expectation was not for Peng Kang-woong’s martial arts skills, but for his heart.
‘Anyway, what kind of people are they?’
From the first time I saw him, Peng Kang-woong had a different energy from the other Peng family characters.
It was clear that he had learned the martial arts of other forces to become stronger.
‘When you hit me, you’ll bring those guys with you.’
Judging from the slight aura of evil, it is unlikely to be a political faction.
‘If you meet them… … .’
I was planning on using my hands to my heart’s content.
For the first time since reincarnation, I will be able to run wild.
A satisfied smile appeared on Jeonggwang’s lips.
However, Heo Cheong, who was approaching, started the game.
“Jeez, my disciple. “What are you planning again?”
“It’s okay to decorate it. Do not worry.”
“Whew. “I don’t feel safe at all.”
Heo Qing flopped down on the threshold.
Then I raised my head and looked blankly at the sky.
Countless stars were embroidered in the dark night sky.
The light was so beautiful, but compared to what I saw in Kunlun, it was inferior.
Just as He Qing’s face in Kunlun was brighter than He Qing’s in the central plains.
Jeong Gwang, who had been watching Heo Cheong for a while, quietly asked.
“Do you want to go back?”
“… … “It’s a bit like that.”
“Then go.”
“… … “That won’t work.”
“why?”
“A generational change in the political faction has begun. “Shouldn’t I be at the forefront of the text?”
“You can just leave it to the dormitories.”
Heo Cheong laughed at Jeong Gwang’s words.
“Then they will leave for Kunlun first?”
“You just have to move first.”
“… … “Is that so?”
“Hurry before it’s too late.”
Heo Qing, who shook his butt for a moment, sighed.
“Whoa. That can’t be possible. “Why are you doing this when you know?”
“Then let’s hand it over to another dormitory.”
“To whom?”
“hmm. “Are you sure?”
“… … “I’d rather do it.”
He Qing trembled.
Because of his inflexibility, he was a futile person who could compete for supremacy in the world.
If he were to become the representative of Kunlun, it would not be difficult for him to cause an accident worse than Jeong Gwang’s.
“I said something weak for no reason. “Pretend you didn’t hear it.”
“That sounds weak. “The world is too dirty for you to accept.”
“haha. Would I be clean?”
“hmm… … .”
“Wow, this guy. “Don’t pretend to think.”
“I’m really thinking about it.”
He Qing frowned.
Doesn’t his proud student really look worried?
“Disciple. Think carefully. Still, isn’t he your master?”
“Yes, of course.”
Heo Cheong grinned and patted Jeong Gwang’s head before stopping.
“this. “You’re all grown up, but I’m still like this.”
“Iknow, right.”
“Ha ha ha ha ha. okay. “That’s right.”
Heo Qing, who burst into laughter, spoke calmly.
“There was a rough outline of who would be the leader. “He will probably become the head of the Fang family.”
“Has the head of the Namgung family been pushed back?”
“That’s the atmosphere. In some clans and families, a very cold wind blows. “It seems like something bad happened recently.”
Jeong Gwang nodded inwardly.
Because it was a natural result.
‘There’s no use trying any other moves now.’
No matter what the Namgung family gives or what interests it guarantees, it will be of no use.
I drank water twice, but who would believe it?
In fact, it would be a relief if it didn’t cause even greater animosity.
‘Still, it would be good if we persevere and pay more bribes.’
The thought of interception made me feel good.
Heo Qing narrowed his eyes and asked, as if that was evident on his face.
“Have you done something or are you planning something?”
“No way.”
He Qing opened his eyes wide and looked at Concentrate, but he had no idea what he was thinking.
“good night. Aside from that, where did you get the ingredients for the vag!nal Myoyou Fan?”
“I have a lot of money.”
“… … “It has to be that way.”
“Can I just come in?”
“… … okay. “Get some rest.”
“Master too.”
As Jeong Gwang entered the room, Heo Cheong’s voice was heard.
“No matter where you are or what you do… … “I am always on your side.”
Jeong Gwang looked back and grinned.
“yes. “I know.”
Unlike Jeong Gwang, who was smiling, Heo Qing’s face was serious.
Jeong Gwang’s face also gradually changed like that.
But his voice was still as bright as his smile from earlier.
“I know very well, Master.”
* * *
Jeong Gwang had no intention of planning anything more.
Except for one thing.
After training the next day, Jeong Gwang asked Jang Yi, who was lying down.
“Jang Sohyeop. “How is your mother?”
“omg. omg. Of course, Eunkong. “He always asks me how Eunkong is doing.”
“I’ll see you later then.”
“… … yes?”
Jeong Gwang turned his head and called out to Yu Jeongpung as well.
“Yoo Sohyeop. Do you have time?”
“this. Oh, I’m sorry. I’m so tired right now… … .”
“I’m going to go eat something delicious.”
“… … I was having a hard time and wanted to eat something delicious. Let’s go quickly!”
Jeong Gwang carried Baek Seung-mu, who was staggering and tried to run away, on his shoulders and performed a divine technique.
Jang Yi, who had collapsed, belonged to Yoo Jeong-pung.
Before long, they arrived at Zhang Yi’s mother’s birthplace.
Since it was still before meal time and there was no one there, Jang-i’s mother quickly prepared the meal.
And I’m trying to deliver food.
Isn’t it true that Jeong Gwang and his party came and took it in person?
“Oh my gosh. “Precious people should not carry food.”
“We are not precious.”
“Uh, how can you say that…” … .”
Jeong Gwang pointed his finger at each member of the group, including himself.
“A fake Taoist, a beggar prince, a virgin who deceived his subjects and lived more like a Taoist than a Taoist. Ah, your son is precious.”
“… … .”
“Come here and eat together. “Because I have something to tell you.”
“Oh, I understand.”
Jeong Gwang and his group sat around the table and tasted the food.
“… … huh?”
Yoo Jeong-pung, who had been eating a few pieces, picked up the plate and started stuffing it into his mouth. It was truly a divine status worthy of the name Ui-ryong.
Jeong Gwang looked at the scene and asked.
“How does it taste?”
“cadet. I didn’t know there was a good spot in such a remote place. But what about the price?”
When Jang Yi’s mother answered on his behalf, Yu Jeongpung nodded his head loudly.
“That’s great. That price for this taste. “You are truly amazing.”
“Boo, I’m embarrassed.”
“Uh huh. It’s a shame. I have thick bones thanks to hunting. “It’s rare to find a restaurant this delicious and cheap.”
Jang-i’s mother was embarrassed and didn’t know what to do, but Jeong-gwang also helped.
“It’s just as you said.”
“oh my. “How can I do this?”
“But why are you doing business here?”
“Well, that’s because I don’t have money… … .”
“If you had money, would you be willing to go to a crowded place and try it?”
She closed her eyes.
It was because I didn’t know what it meant.
Jeong Gwang looked at Baek Seung-moo and asked.
“Priests. “Isn’t there a good enough spot among the land you bought?”
“That’s right, death penalty.”
“How big is it?”
“hmm. The most suitable place is roughly the size of Ilmi Spot. Death penalty, perhaps… … ?”
“huh. that’s right.”
Jeong Gwang looked at Jang Yi and his mother in turns.
“I will lend you the land and build you a spot. “I mean, I’m going to rent it out.”
“… … !”
“It’s going to be quite large, so we’re going to have to hire people. If you need it, please tell the cooperative. “He will introduce you to reputable people.”
“Ah, ow. When did I… … .”
“Instead, when people come to beg, we provide them with a lot of leftover food.”
“Jang So-hyeop, and your mother. Please just leave it to us. Even though I look like this, my feet are pretty wide.”
Jang Yi and his mother were wide-eyed and at a loss.
I couldn’t understand why Jeong Gwang was being so kind.
Jang, who was hesitant, finally asked.
“… … Ugh, Eunkong. Why do people like us… … .”
“That’s it. “Because you’re good at cooking.”
“… … .”
“Anyway, since Jang Sohyeop has set his sights on martial arts, you’re not going to cook, right?”
“Well, of course.”
“Are you worried about your mother, who works alone?”
“… … That’s right.”
“That’s why we’re starting out big and hiring people. Since it is close to the Murim Alliance, it will be easy for the Jang Sohyeop to come and go.”
“… … .”
Jang’s mother, whose hands were shaking in embarrassment, asked cautiously.
“B-But then Eun-gong will suffer too much loss…” … .”
“That depends on you two.”
“yes?”
Jeong Gwang explained to the puzzled mother and son.
“You have to do good business until the contract ends. So, either buy the land from me, or move if you find a place you like better. Then you can sell it to someone else at a high price.”
Tears formed in the eyes of the mother and son who were looking at the concentrate blankly.
Jeong Gwang said it was to satisfy his own self-interest, but in their view, it was too great a good deed.
Yoo Jeong-pung also had an admiring face, but Baek Seung-mu was different.
-execution. Why are you doing this all of a sudden? Did you eat something wrong?
-no.
-Then you calculated it wrong. One spot doesn’t make you any money.
-I know.
-Then why… … ?
Jeong Gwang grinned.
