Episode 122 I don’t know why I’m angry?
I thought the woman the ghost married was a wicked woman.
But the way she looks now is far from that of a villainess.
“I heard that you are having a hard time studying the secret arts of the ghost. Don’t overwork yourself.”
“Thank you for saying so.”
The corners of Gwiryeongja’s mouth hung from his ears at Imhyang’s worry.
“Aren’t you going to the market?”
“I’m hungry.”
“Let’s eat and go.”
The spirit of the deceased, Im Hyang, and the unmanned people who followed her entered the inn where we were.
They took their seats near where we were sitting.
So the conversation between the two people was heard in its entirety.
“I’ll be honest with you. In fact, my parents were against this marriage. They thought that the successors of the Gui family were people who devoted themselves solely to their studies and that the woman would be lonely.”
“Oh, you misunderstood. That will never happen. I promise. I will never leave you alone.”
I haven’t heard the details of why the ghost’s marriage broke down. When they last broke up, the ghost said that his marriage was even more hellish, so I think they lived together until then.
What if it was because he was studying the Law of Return and left her lonely? What if that was the case?
‘You, ghost, can’t keep this promise now.’
Of course, that may not be the reason. Just looking at the expression on Im Hyang’s face right now, if she were to run away, she would give up the family business and I could bet my entire fortune on it. I loved her so much, so why did my married life become hell?
Ian sent me a message.
-Are those two the ones trying to stop the wedding?
-that’s right.
– How can I stop him when he likes me so much? If I stop him now, I think we’ll become enemies.
They won’t just be enemies. They’ll be mortal enemies.
We listened to their conversation again.
“Father may treat you disappointingly. Even if that happens, I hope you understand.”
“Of course. I know very well how much His Majesty cares for Lady Im.”
Could it be that the two were separated because of their parents? Finding out why was the first priority.
They ordered a meal.
“I don’t like stir-fried dishes.”
The nobleman quickly spoke about Im Hyang’s clear taste.
“Good. I hate it too.”
“really?”
“I think we are a match made in heaven!”
But I saw it. That moment of hesitation that the spirits showed. That regret of liking something but not doing it.
Poor ghost. He’s already eaten all the stir-fried dishes. Well, even if he were told to live the rest of his life eating only barley, he would probably say it was okay.
Now we were talking as they began to eat, not lowering our voices to get their attention.
“Do you want to get married?”
The biggest topic of conversation for people about to get married is probably marriage. It felt like Gwi-ryeong-ja and Im-hyang were listening intently.
“I won’t do it.”
“why?”
“Marriage is a big responsibility, isn’t it? I don’t have the confidence to take responsibility for someone. It’s overwhelming for me.”
I couldn’t tell if that was really what she thought, or if she was just responding because she knew I was trying to stop them from getting married.
This time Ian asked me.
“Do you want to get married?”
“no.”
“why?”
“I just want to live freely.”
“What about children? Don’t you want to have children?”
“Ira… … .”
I had only heard this question once. From Seojin, the younger brother of the spirit. At the time, the answer was obvious. At that time, I was consumed with guilt and anger for having survived alone. What kind of child is a child?
“I don’t have confidence that I can raise them well.”
“That’s true. Not all parents raise their children well.”
Ian’s expression darkened slightly. He asked her a question that was separate from the ghost’s work.
“Do you resent your parents?”
“I resented it when I was young.”
She was abandoned by her parents when she was very young. She came to our school without knowing who her parents were.
“now?”
“I don’t really have any thoughts right now. Even if you hate me, it’ll only harm me.”
I asked about my parents on purpose so that I wouldn’t bury my emotional wounds in my heart.
Rather, they dig up what they buried and say it, kick the blankets and regret saying it for nothing, and since they said it anyway, why don’t they say it again? They’re trying to make it seem like it’s nothing.
It is a wound in the heart that will fade a little only after going through this process several times. So you can just bury it in your heart and forget about it? That is impossible. No matter how deeply you bury it, it will not rot. It will not disappear.
Ian looked at me and smiled.
“I’m sure my parents are eating well and living well somewhere.”
It was just then.
“That won’t happen.”
The person who couldn’t stand it anymore and intervened was Im Hyang.
“I don’t know what the circumstances are, but I’m sure Yeo-hyeop’s parents are heartbroken.”
She had a clear taste in food and was the type of person who would definitely voice her opinion on such matters.

Ian spoke to her gently.
“Not all parents love their children. Some parents think of their children as money-making beings since they gave birth to them, while others beat, abuse, and even sell their children.”
The last words stuck in my mind. Maybe Ian lived his life thinking that his parents had sold him out.
“This is probably the story of a very small number of parents. Your parents may have had different circumstances.”
Im Hyang’s eyes, looking at Ian with pity, were filled with pity and sympathy. Despite her innocent-looking appearance, she was a person who showed her emotions even to people she met for the first time.
In fact, it could have been offensive if you thought it was offensive, but Ian reacted gently.
“Thank you for your comfort.”
“No, I was interfering. I’m sorry.”
Im Hyang apologized, and Ian also spoke politely.
“No. You meant it as a favor, but I overreacted.”
So the two people apologized to each other.
Im Hyang introduced herself late.
“I am Im Hyang, the daughter of the Im clan.”
Im Hyang introduced the ghost, and Ian introduced me.
“This is my death penalty.”
This is how we usually introduce ourselves to new people. Strictly speaking, it wasn’t wrong, since we learned the same martial arts.
“I’ll buy you a drink as an apology. It seems like you two haven’t seen each other in a long time, so let’s meet tomorrow or the day after when you have time.”
Im Hyang shook her head at Ian’s suggestion.
“No, I have to buy the alcohol.”
A ghost who had been watching the two people trying to buy each other drinks stepped forward.
“I was planning to have a small celebration party tomorrow with some close friends, and I’d like to invite you two as well.”
“We cannot go to such a precious place.”
When Ian refused, Im Hyang stepped forward.
“No, please come. I think that way I will feel better.”
As soon as Im Hyang came out, Ian pretended not to be able to resist and accepted their invitation.
“Okay, I’ll come see you tomorrow.”
After a while, Gwi-ryeong-ja and Im-hyang finished their meal and said goodbye, and left the inn first.
After they left, Ian started to grumble for no reason.
“I did well, right?”
“It’s great. I feel like I can leave it to you.”
“Oh! That can’t be. I still don’t understand why we have to stop their marriage!”
Ian watched them walk away from the inn. As they walked, the spirit couldn’t take his eyes off Im Hyang.
I recalled the last moments of the ghost.
-Is it still hell?
―It’s a hotter hell. I’m ashamed, but I beg you anyway. If you don’t listen to me until the end, I’ll tear open my luggage.
-Is that all?
-It’s more than that.
I could have stopped him if I had insisted on it, but I was worried that if I tried to stop him in this situation, he would become even more unhappy. They say that the most difficult thing in the world is a relationship between a man and a woman.
“I still don’t know what to do.”

The next afternoon, Ian and I visited the ghost town.
As I followed the guide into the inner garden, I felt ghosts everywhere.
-Ian, do you feel the energy on the left?
-Yes, it’s the first time I’ve felt this energy in my life.
– It’s a ghost of a ghost.
It was a ghost with a different feel from the ghost of the Demon Lord.
―You really have to be careful with those who use this kind of magic. You never know what might pop out, so the most important thing is not to panic. If you panic, you die.
-Yes, I’ll keep that in mind.
As I entered the hospital, I saw three people talking in front of the flower garden.
Gwiryeongja, Imhyang, and the one person I wanted to see so badly was Seojin.
“Don’t trust your brother. If he’s absorbed in his work, you won’t know it even if someone is fighting next to you. My brother.”
Im Hyang laughed, thinking Seo Jin’s words were a joke.
“I’m not joking.”
“Then I’ll have to do a cool dance. A dance that will make them turn their heads towards me.”
Those who were talking like that looked this way at our appearance.
Seojin and I met eyes.
It was a long time after I first met her that Seojin’s appearance now seemed so unfamiliar.
There was a time when you were this bright and cheerful.
She was perfectly suited to the life of a rough ronin. She was smart, thoughtful, and loyal.
Her current appearance did not remind her of that time. She was a bright and cheerful girl who grew up in a prestigious family and received a lot of love.
Ian’s voice came flying in.
―You didn’t look at me like this when you saw the beautiful gisaengs at Cheonhwaru. The way you look at that woman is different.
As expected, Ian knows me best.
-Jealousy is an envoy.
-Mom! It’s not jealousy, it’s curiosity!
Yes, how could the gaze looking at Seojin be ordinary?
friend.
In this life, I won’t let you languish in an unknown field. You said you were satisfied with your life when you were dying, but I won’t let you meet that kind of end. It’s a promise as a friend.
So we went in front of them. The spirit introduced us to Seojin.
After the introduction, Seojin showed interest in Ian.
“Your eyes are so beautiful, why are you wearing cotton?”
I looked at Ian and gave him a look telling him to show his face. You’re a beauty queen, Ian!
She noticed my intention and took off her mask.
Exclamations came out of the two women’s mouths, but surprisingly, the target, the spirit, showed no particular agitation.
I asked the spirit.
“Gongja Seo, aren’t our four sisters pretty?”
I just wanted to show that there are such beautiful women in the world.
“She is beautiful. She is beautiful, but our Lady Im is more beautiful.”
I could tell the spirit was sincere.
They say that falling in love is blinding, but at this point, it wasn’t just blindness, it was the level of being under the spell of seduction.
I sent a message to Ian.
-Ugly! Use cotton.
-I already wrote it. What the heck, that guy!
-I tried to stop the wedding by using a beauty queen, but it didn’t work.
-Why are you blocking me when you like it so much? It’s nice to look at.
It was then that Im Hyang looked at Gwi Ryeong Ja with a stern face.
“Why are you like that, Lady Im?”
“I don’t know why I’m angry.”
“I don’t know.”
The ghost looked as if he had no idea.
“Why can’t you be honest? Isn’t that lady more beautiful? Did you think I would like it if you said that?”
Even though he thought Ian was more beautiful, he thought he lied.
“You are more beautiful in my eyes.”
“That’s a lie, isn’t it?”
“No. You are truly more beautiful. I swear to heaven.”
“Really?”
Only after confirming that did Im Hyang’s expression relax.
At this moment, I was sure.
The way she interrupted our conversation yesterday, and the way she looks now, she was a strong-willed person who had to make sure that things that could have been overlooked were confirmed and moved on.
If I had strangled the spirit with that personality, the bean pods on the spirit’s eyelids would have disappeared someday.
He must have been fed up with her and escaped reality by studying the Great Law. And their relationship would have gotten worse.
It’s not just her fault. She’s showing off who she is without hiding it, but the spirits themselves can’t see it.
Even now, the spirit was smiling while looking at Imhyang, wondering what was so good about it.
Oh my, you bastard. What should I do with this? Should I really just catch some bastard and tear it apart?
