Part 2 Episode 207
Refreshingly
Jeong Gwang smiled and waved his hand.
“Is this such a coincidence at this late hour? Hello, matriarch. “It’s lonely and lonely, so why don’t we have a drink together?”
Yeonhyeokso looked at Jeonggwang blankly, then walked over and sat down across from him.
“Thank you for welcoming me even though I visited without notice at night.”
Jeong Gwang shrugged his shoulders.
“You are the head of the Ageuk Soyeon family, so I have to force you to do it. Enjoy your stay as if it were your own home.”
“It puts my mind at ease when you tell me it’s just a facade.”
“haha. “I take honesty as my creed.”
“It’s a good tenet, but… … .”
Yeonhyeokso looked alternately at Jeong Gwang and Min Hyeon-yu, who was standing next to him, with sharp eyes like an awl.
“The words are incoherent. Didn’t you say a little while ago that you were alone and lonely? “Isn’t that the owner of the Handeungmin family?”
Jeong Gwang smiled and Min Hyeon-yu calmly took the example and explained.
“Jumsoy cannot drink alcohol while on duty. So, it’s like someone who doesn’t exist. “I will prepare a table for you to drink, so please wait a moment.”
“I see. “Please take care of me.”
Yeonhyeokso looked at Min Hyeon-yu until he entered the kitchen and then nodded.
“The head of the Handeungmin family did a good job farming their children.”
Jeong Gwang also agreed.
“I’m good at entertaining guests. “I can cook as well as most people, so it will be worth it.”
“Is the skill of the Dokbiguido (獨臂鬼刀) better than that of Gwanyeop?”
Jeong Gwang made a puzzled expression in response to Yeonhyeokso’s calm question.
“Do you know him well?”
“All I know is that he was a butcher and servant who ran a guest house called Gochagi (庫車伎) in Kucha.”
“It’s surprising that someone as high as the head of the family is. “You seem to be secretly free.”
“Unfortunately, the opposite is true.”
“Oh my. “I’m glad Hyeon-yu is awake and not Gwan Suk-su.”
“What do you mean?”
“It is difficult to discuss superiority or inferiority because their talents are different, but if you look at it, Gwan Suk-soo, who makes simple food taste good when there are few ingredients or cooking utensils, and in the opposite case, Hyeon-yu, who cooks dishes that look like they are available properly, is excellent. “If you try it, you will find some comfort.”
“It means that who is better changes depending on the given environment.”
“Not just these two, but most people.”
“You are right.”
Yeonhyeokso’s eyes became slightly transparent and then returned to normal.
“That’s why I came to see you.”
Jeong Gwang grinned.
“We haven’t even had drinks yet, but you’re getting straight to the point.”
“You said you were busy. “You knew I was coming, right?”
“No way.”
“Where did you sell the creed you mentioned earlier?”
“I was speaking honestly. “It’s like I didn’t know because I looked at the possibilities as low.”
“Ohal below. That’s a pretty generous price. “I saw enough to work.”
“That’s too salty. “I feel sad.”
“It was evaluated very highly. Originally, the Toro Benson family was eleven.”
Yeonhyeokso leaned back deeply in his chair and continued speaking.
“My father took over the position of leader by force and incurred quite a bit of resentment. I have to do something to protect my family. “What would you do?”
Jeong Gwang answered without hesitation.
“Unless something goes wrong, the final winner of this battle of life and death will be Son Gang, so I will choose the Toro Benson family.”
“okay. “If you look at common sense, that’s right.”
Yeonhyeokso tapped his fingers on the table and spoke to the beat.
“Five years, eight years, nine years, or ten years. Yes, in the long run, it will be like that in the future. If your father becomes a noble person, Son Kang will become the head of a religious sect at a young age. “How strong will you become if you become strong at that age?”
“You are too young.”
“There are bound to be people who don’t give in. If you promise in advance that you will support Son Kang at that time, the Toro clan will also protect the main family. But there’s a problem.”
“What I’m saying is that solidarity won’t last very long.”
Yeonhyeokso’s voice became heavy and subdued.
“The Toro Benson family swore allegiance to their father and after doing all kinds of dirty work, they entered the ranks of the Seven Great Families of Demonic Dao. Once the rebellion is suppressed and stability is achieved to some degree, is there any way that Son Jae-deung, head of the Toro clan family, will stay still? “He will not leave alone the family of the person who used him.”
Jeong Gwang sympathized strongly, even clapping his hands.
“That person has a very bad personality. “He’s going to try to destroy the Aukkuk Sonoga.”
“… … You’re going too far just because I don’t like you. “If we look at it realistically, we will apply various pressures to reduce the power of the main family.”
“You don’t look favorably on Son Kang, do you?”
“If they take control of the school in the future, they might try to go all the way. Still, there was no other way, so I tried to choose the lesser evil… … .”
Yeonhyeokso tilted his upper body forward and looked straight into the light.
“The environment has changed since you appeared. A lot of that too.”
Jeong Gwang asked confidently without avoiding eye contact.
“Why did you give me nothing but work?”
“I said ‘in’ rather than ‘outside.’ Looking at your actions, you are closer to a business partner than an empty guest at Goirukdanga. If you look at the way he hangs out with Orona’s Geumjinokyeop, he has a good relationship with them. The same goes for Linyeongimga. The weapons used by Seomrang are theirs, right? “So does one of your swords.”
“I tend to be a bit loyal. “You have a good eye.”
“That’s not the end. The owner of the Handeungmin family is helping you. “There are ordinary believers who follow you.”
“What kind of following? “I guess the perception isn’t bad because I honestly earn and give money according to my creed.”

“The identity is suspicious, but there are also capable colleagues. And Seomrang, he’s a better talent than I heard. “It seems difficult to beat Son Kang.”
“ah. Then yes. “My score was drastically reduced because of that guy.”
“no. “It’s because of you.”
Yeonhyeokso’s eyes became sharper.
“You must have followed the progress of the previous sect leader and not a member of the Silkyungquan clan. Otherwise, your inaction cannot be explained.”
“ha. “There is someone else who is making a mistake.”
“Was the Demon Brain like that too?”
“yes. Fortunately, we were able to resolve the misunderstanding.”
“I heard that he tried to collect you, but you refused and were released safely.”
“oh. “Sometimes there are rumors that are true.”
History Office frowned.
“That’s absurd. Demon Brain is not one to give up what he wants so easily. “He must have pushed it to his father because he knew he wasn’t the one to embrace it.”
“Let’s think again. “It’s too much of a leap.”
“During the struggle for life and death, the brain was concerned about the other side, and your father found you interesting, so that’s right. He is the successor of Jincheonma. He definitely won’t leave you alone. Still, they gave me work. Do you understand now?”
Jeong Gwang smiled.
“But why did you choose me?”
“… … .”
Yeonhyeokso was silent for a moment and then slowly opened his mouth.
“When I left the dorm, I was going to meet the head of Torobonson. But as I was walking, my feet seemed to be heading in this direction. I thought carefully about why that was the case. “I came to a conclusion by the time I saw the Hyangrim Gaekjan.”
The wrinkles on Yeonhyeokso’s forehead became deeper.
“first. A variable like you will never come back. “The only time for adventure is now.”
“What about the second one?”
“Seomrang has changed a lot in just two days. He’s still weaker than Son Kang, but you never know how much stronger he’ll become in two days, right? “I thought that since you have already worked miracles, you would be able to do it somehow.”
“I guess I’ll have to pray to the heavenly gods for that to happen.”
“no. “It’s up to you.”
“Be burdened. “I’ll do my best.”
“Other things should be like that too.”
The voice of the history office was powerful.
“Father doesn’t want to leave a stain on his reputation, so no matter who becomes the head of the small sect, he will be raised properly. However, if you become a noble person, your role becomes important. “Three of the seven great families have gathered around you, and even the main family is planning to join. If you die, how long will that union last?”
“I’m going to live a long time.”
“If you really want to live a long life, if you want to control Seomrang and rule the main school, do you know what to do?”
“I may be misunderstanding the rest, but I’m curious because I want to live a long life.”
The history office spoke clearly.
“Low down to your father. Then you’ll lose interest.”
“Can’t we just make the leader kneel down?”
Yeonhyeokso looked at the concentrate as if it was absurd and shook his head.
“It would be difficult even if I prayed to the Heavenly God. “You’re trying to jump into a pit of fire when there’s an easy way.”
“What if you really do it?”
“Are you asking me if I’m going to get revenge now?”
“Because there is such a thing as heavenly law.”
History’s eyebrows twitched.
“The laws of humanity must be maintained to lead to the laws of heaven. “But my father cut the line himself.”
As he recalled the past, his eyes became semi-transparent.
“As soon as I heard the news that a life-and-death struggle was taking place, I ran to my father and asked. What are you trying to do when your family doesn’t have talent capable of winning? “Isn’t it obvious that no matter who becomes the head of the small sect, the main family will have a hard time?”
“Yes.”
“But do you know what your father responded?”
“I’ll do a survey.”
“I’m doing my job, so you can do yours.”
Jeong Gwang whistled softly.
Yeonhyeokso clenched his fists as if he was getting angrier.
“I always knew you were that kind of person, but I never thought you would be like that. I asked him if he was really going to abandon his family. But it was pointless.”
“What did you say?”
The history office said one word at a time.
“My seat is the head of the Heavenly Demon God Church. “As the head of the family, you should take care of the affairs of the Ageuk Soyeon family.”
“Be merciless. “I don’t think you are my biological father.”
“It’s my biological father.”
“Oh my. That’s too much. “The head of the family treats your sons warmly, right?”
“… … In any case, if you protect your family, they will never harm you.”
“You look so refreshing.”
“But that’s ridiculous.”
Yeonhyukso leaned back in his chair and crossed his arms.
“Promise me that you will submit to your father. You have to live. “If I die, everything is okay.”
“I don’t like it.”
“Then I have no choice but to go to Torobonsongaju. And my son, who wants to fight as hard as he can, will do so tomorrow. Even though that guy is ugly, he can hurt Seomrang. Then Seomrang will not be able to defeat Son Gang no matter what he does. Is it still good?”
Jeong Gwang opened his eyes wide.
“If I said yes, did you plan to order your son to do it on purpose?”
“You’re saying it’s obvious.”
“That’s troublesome.”
“… … what?”
Jeong Gwang explained with a straight face.
“Fighting for life or death is the first step to becoming a religious leader. You have to take better steps than any other step. However, if you achieve an unexpected victory, it is obvious what label you will be given. “How can you lead a school with such a reputation?”
History Office frowned.
“Sounds like you’re full. “Shouldn’t we win first?”
“The creed is so different. Then let’s do it like this. “What if Seomrang wins and the cult leader can’t kill me?”
“I see.”
“Then watch it and if you think it will happen, support it. If you don’t think it will work, just pretend it never happened and go to Torobonsonga.”
Yeonhyeokso narrowed his eyes.
“You seem really confident.”
“Sure.”
“You too, but Seomrang’s skills have improved even more?”
“yes.”
Yeonhyeokso was silent for a while and then suddenly asked.
“Do I really have to kill my son?”
“The head of the family protects humanity differently from the head of the church.”
“I’m trying to do at least the basics.”
“It’s nice to see. “It’s also unfortunate.”
Yeonhyeokso’s face distorted as Jeong Gwang continued his words.
“Seomrang needs to win well. Still, considering your infidelity, let me give you some advice.”

The next morning.
After finishing the meal, Jeong Gwang went to Gwigokja’s room and told him about the conversation he had with Yeonhyeokso.
Gugukja listened silently and sighed softly.
“The History Institute was so sure that Demon Brain would die soon that they didn’t even mention it.”
“It’s only natural because I’m also curious about how the demon brain tries to extend lifespan.”
“The small man tried to encourage corruption, but the Most High showed warmth.”
“It didn’t seem like he would end up saying ‘father’ or ‘father’ at the end of every word.”
“The history center was of a good mind, so the Supreme Judgment would be correct. “When the time comes to make a choice, I will do my best to hold the sword upside down.”
“huh. “What about Namin?”
“The first negotiation went well. “There won’t be any major problems today.”
“good. Then, wait and help Heuk-seo and Hyeon-yu.”
“My name.”
Jeong Gwang led his group out of the guesthouse and met Dan-yeong’s group.
And then I headed to Takmoki Peak, and because I started early like yesterday, I was able to climb it comfortably.
Of course, as always, the inspection was difficult.
Gwak Sang, Samhyangju (三香主) of Hogyodang (護敎堂), who is in charge of guarding the main gate, allowed Jeong Gwang and his party in only after checking thoroughly.
Seomrang complained that he still couldn’t get used to it.
“As soon as I arrived, I was out of breath.”
Jeong Gwang smiled.
“I thought it came from the Hwajeon Five House. “Isn’t that because I got scolded by Soje?”
“… … Haaa.”
“The ground will disappear. How do you feel?”
Seomrang smiled brightly, as if he had never been in tears.
“It’s the best because you personally interrogated me.”
“I guess it wasn’t a good idea for the official to do it.”
“… … “Yesterday you said you were like father and son, but today you are estranged from each other.”
“That’s because you really hated me yesterday.”
Jeong Gwang turned his gaze to Namin.
“Let’s part ways here today. “When the life-and-death struggle is over, I will go to the temple.”
“All right. “If the conversation ends quickly, we will go to the main training hall.”
“That would be better. Guan Suksoo. “I would like a saucer, please.”
“Don’t worry.”
Jeong Gwang stared at Gwan Yeop and smiled.
“yes. “I will trust you because you are the governor.”
It was a short speech, but Gwan-yeop was deeply moved.
“Thank you. See you later.”
Gwanyeop went to the temple with Namin.
Jeong Gwang headed to the main training camp with Seomrang, Zhao, and Danyeong.
Because we arrived early, we were able to quickly head to the tent.
Seomrang hesitated slightly, then sat down on the floor and crossed his legs.
“What are you doing?”
When Jeong Gwang asked, Seomrang shrugged his shoulders.
“I thought it would look plausible if I pretended to meditate for a moment.”
“Are you nervous?”
“… … “What is tension?”
“What you are feeling.”
“… … Haha. “I’ll settle it down soon.”
Seomrang closed his eyes and controlled his mind.
Jeong Gwang watched for a while and then shook his head.
‘you’re good.’
I was in good physical condition and had a good mindset.
Jeong Gwang stopped paying attention to Seomrang and looked around.
Before we knew it, it was full of people, and among them was a history office.
Jeong Gwang looked at him and raised the corners of his mouth.
Yeonhyukso furrowed his brows and avoided eye contact.
Jeong Gwang laughed inwardly and turned his head.
Son Jae-deung, head of the Toro clan family, was looking at Jeong-gwang as if he were suspicious.
However, when Jeong Gwang waved his hand with a bright smile, he turned his head.
and.
Yeon Hwi-jun, the leader of the Heavenly Demon God, appeared in a grand manner like yesterday.
After receiving the worship of the believers, he gave a brief command.
“Begin.”
“Waaaa!”
The Demons were enthusiastic and both the Li and Gijus went up to the non-stage.
“The second day of the finals of the battle for life and death! Let’s begin our first life-or-death struggle! This time’s contestant, Seomrang from the Mukyeonggwon family! The fourth contestant, Yeon Gyu-seo from Ageuk Soyeonga (阿克蘇燕家)! “The two of you go up on the non-stage and stand facing each other!”
Most people chanted Seomrang’s family name and nickname.
Seomrang’s ears perked up, but he neither opened his eyes nor relaxed his lotus position.
Jeong Gwang watched with a dumbfounded expression and pulled Seomrang’s cheeks.
“Then do you think it will look like it?”
“Ouch, it hurts. Let it go, please let it go. “I’ll get up.”
“I put it down, but why doesn’t it wake up? “My legs are so numb that I can’t get up?”
“What do you think of me? “I’ll finish it up.”
Seomrang took a deep breath, opened his eyes, and stood up vigorously.
Jeong Gwang chuckled and ruffled Seomrang’s hair.
“How should I deal with Yeon Gyu-seo?”
Seomrang answered seriously.
“Maintain your concentration, block what you can, and avoid only what you must avoid.”
“What about the attack?”
“I’m not in a hurry to win the game quickly. Then, when the opportunity arises, they inflict fatal wounds.”
“okay. Get rid of it with ease. “To the point where my stomach feels empty.”
Seomrang answered energetically, sparkling inside the wall.
“yes!”
martial arts,
