When tears come to our eyes (1)
Once again, luggage arrived at the manor where Lim Yeon-jeong was staying.
The people who silently unloaded the luggage were Il-ho and Chil-ho.
“I’ll take it to my room.”
“So be it.”
Ilho gave her the luggage.
It was because Lim Yeon-jeong did not have very good feelings about him. Lim Yeon-jeong had no hesitation in expressing her feelings. She definitely didn’t like what she didn’t like, and she didn’t bother to see people she didn’t like.
“How is work these days?”
“it’s okay.”
“What about Lim Yeon-jeong?”
“It still remains the same. “It was said that after the coronation ceremony, the full-fledged Great Law would begin.”
Ilho nodded. When he said nothing more, Chilho turned around.
“Okay then.”
When she walked a few steps, Ilho spoke from behind.
“Don’t be swayed by personal feelings.”
When Chil-ho turned back, Il-ho was walking away with long strides.
She didn’t see Ilho’s expression.
An expression filled with self-reproach for saying the last word for no reason, for not being like oneself.
However, because he could not see that expression, and even if he had seen it, he did not know his heart, Chilho was not emotionally shaken at all. If it was his superior, it was something he would throw at least once.
“yes.”
After answering briefly as if talking to himself, Chilho picked up his luggage and entered the building.
Lim Yeon-jeong was in the midst of full-scale preparations for Dafa in her study. The materials in the box appeared one by one, and they were being organized or combined to be reborn into a new form.
“New items have arrived.”
“Put it here.”
Chilho placed the box on the table. Items needed for Dafa were coming from all over the central plains. Sometimes freshly harvested herbs or live poisonous insects arrived.
“I do the organizing.”
“That’s right.”
As Chil-ho said hello and turned around, Lim Yeon-jeong said to her.
“It’s a good name.”
“yes?”
“White lotus, it looks good on you.”
Chilho thought that couldn’t be possible. They say lotuses grow even in the mud, but when I look at that beautiful thing, I always feel distant from myself.
It’s probably a good thing to hear.
Chilho answered with the brightest smile he could muster.
“thank you.”
But still, I couldn’t forget the moment when Byeokridan gave me a name.
While drinking with him in the field and talking about various things, he casually mentioned that he had lost his name for a long time. But thankfully, Byeokridan remembered those words.
Even though it may not suit you… … I really liked this name, White Lotus.

“First, let me tell you about Magungtae.”
In preparation for Magungtae and Mayanghwa sending Gosu and trying to kill us, Galsaryang came up with a plan.
“It is commonly known that Magungtae is hot-tempered and thoughtless, but he is actually quite smart.”
“Is it disguise?”
“Yes, it is. He’s a bear on the outside, but a fox on the inside. On the other hand, Ma Yang-hua appears to be calm and broad-minded on the outside, but she is very suspicious and does not like to suffer losses.”
“If there is a situation where we need to divide the two, I think we should attack Mayanghwa first.”
“I think the same thing.”
A personality that doesn’t like to lose money is an easy personality to attack. If you make a lot of calculations, you will end up making miscalculations.
“Since they are out to kill us, we will not deal with them clumsily. “I plan to destroy Ma Yang-hwa, Ma Gong-tae, and all of their subordinates who followed them.”
Now we will clearly show you what happens if you mess with us.
“Where are they now?”
“Currently, May Yang-hwa and Ma Gung-tae are guests of Joo Cheol-ryong and are in the guest hall of Gwangwoldan in the Murim Alliance.”
“I guess he hid in the safest place.”
“That’s right.”
They too were aware that this was dangerous.
“We have to get them out somehow. For that to happen, I guess they need to have someone they can trust.”
After thinking about it for a while, Gal Sa-ryang thought of one person.
“Luckily, there is one person we can move that they can trust.”
“Who is that?”
Gal Sa-ryang said with a grin.
“Would you like to go and see it together?”
* * *
After half a visit, Gal Sa-ryang and I were entering the underground prison of the Murim Alliance headquarters.
We were guided by a guard and walked through the prison’s corridors, which were under double and triple security.
Since Gal Sa-ryang was still the leader of the Murim Alliance, he was able to freely enter the prison. In fact, if we only go by the rules, he is currently the most powerful person in the Murim Alliance.
The guard led us to an iron door. The person visible through the small hole was none other than Sima Qian, the former commander-in-chief.
The guard opened the door and I and Gal Sa-ryang went inside.
“And you?”

Sima Qian was surprised when he discovered Gal Si Liang. With sunken eyes, a drawn face, scattered hair, and an unkempt, messy beard. He was so devastated that he was unrecognizable.
“How have you been?”
“you! “Isn’t this all something you planned with the head of the law?”
Compared to the excited man, Galsaryang was calm.
“I guess it’s because I had someone like Jo Byeok as my right-hand man.”
“You bastard! “I’ll kill you!”
Sima Qian rushed in and tried to grab Gal Si Liang by the collar. I stopped him and made him step back.
Sima Qian had no regard for my existence. He just thought of him as someone who came to protect Galsaryang.
“Remain calm.”
“Do I look calm now?”
“so? “Are you going to go on a rampage and blow up your only chance to get out of here?”
Sima Qian was startled by those words.
“You can get out of here?”
“I am still the leader of the Murim Alliance, and the position of leader is empty.”
In other words, it meant that at least one prisoner trapped in prison could be freed. Because he didn’t commit a rebellion.
There was silence for a moment.
“Are you the one who killed the lord?”
“no.”
“Then who?”
“They are the ones behind it. “I’m sure you knew of their existence, right?”
Sima Qian could not deny those words. In fact, he too felt the reality behind him. He just pretended not to know for his own personal gain. In the end, he thought that his imprisonment might have been the result of his irresponsibility and self-deception.
“You fooled me.”
He acted like an old-fashioned soldier, doing all kinds of hardships under him.
But looking at the sharp appearance of Gal Sa-ryang now, I realized that all those things were lies.
“The person who put me back in the position of Commander-in-Chief was Ma Bong-gi, whom you served.”
“What a stupid old man!”
The target was, of course, Ma Bong-gi. How could he think of putting Gal Sa-ryang in charge of the military without thinking of getting him out again? He really felt like it was worth dying for.
Sima Qian wanted to get out of here. He could no longer endure in this hellish prison.
“How can you get me out?”
“The question is wrong.”
Gal Sa-ryang stared at him and added coldly.
“You should ask this. “What must I do to get you out?”
* * *
When Galsaryang and I returned to our residence, someone was waiting for me.
Surprisingly, the visitor was none other than Chilho.
“What’s going on here?”
“I came because I had something to tell you.”
“Have you been waiting long?”
“No, I just arrived. “I thought you weren’t there so I was just about to leave, but you came just now.”
Uncharacteristically, she even gave an additional explanation. It must have been a long wait.
Gal Sa-ryang noticed and avoided the place.
“I’m tired so I should rest first.”
I told her.
“I don’t think I can go outside. “Can we talk here?”
“are you okay.”
I took a walk around the yard with her. Although it was a small yard, trees and flowers were growing nicely here and there.
Of course, the darkness installed here was currently closed. If the Jinbeop is activated, this will become a world of death from which there will be no escape forever. Of course, once the formation is completed, it will become a scarier place.
“Thank you.”
“What do you mean?”
“You gave me a name.”
“Ah, I don’t know if I did something for nothing.”
“no. “I liked that name.”
“Thank goodness.”
“I don’t think I could say thank you properly that day… … .”
Then suddenly she shed tears. It wasn’t me who was embarrassed, but rather her.
“uh?”
She was embarrassed, as if she had shed tears for the first time.
“Why am I suddenly crying?”
The tears didn’t come out slowly because of sadness, but they seemed to suddenly burst into tears and the tears flowed down.
There was absolutely no reason for that, but it felt like tears suddenly came out.
She looked at the tears falling on her palms, as if she had seen rain falling from the sky for the first time.
It was that moment when I didn’t know what to say. A familiar sound came from behind.
“You idiot!”
When I turned around, I saw Gwangdu running towards me and stopping when he saw Chilho.
“uh?”
Song Hwarin was standing behind Gwangdu.
Everyone looked surprised when they saw Chilho and I standing together.
Upon their appearance, Chilho hurriedly wiped away his tears.
Everyone was surprised to see the woman shedding tears in front of me.
Song Hwa-rin was embarrassed, and Gwangdu was also embarrassed. The poached egg even made an impression.
There was silence there.
“Even the women are crying. “It’s a man, my master.”
Song Hwarin always laughed at Gwangdu’s nonsense, but this time she didn’t laugh.
Silence flows again.
Soon, Song Hwa-rin slowly walked to Chil-ho and spoke.
“Hello, my name is Song Hwarin.”
Unexpectedly, Song Hwa-rin did not look that embarrassed or angry.
Chilho was greeted politely.
“I am… … It’s a white lotus. “Then I’ll leave.”
“Okay, see you next time.”
Suran glared at Chilho, who was leaving the place, and said.
“Our lady is the fiancé of Gong Byeok.”
Chil-ho was startled when he heard that he was a fiancé.
“do not misunderstand. “I have nothing to do with Byeokgun.”
Rather, the words would have caused even more misunderstanding.
Chilho quickly walked out of there.
Gwangdu approached me before I knew it and whispered in my ear.
“flirt.”
“It’s wrong.”
“Liar and playboy.”
This time Song Hwarin came towards me. She asked in a calm tone, just as she had with Chilho earlier.
“how have you been doing?”
“Thanks to. “You came without contacting me?”
“They said I would be more surprised if Gwangmuin came without a message. “I was really surprised.”
I looked at Gwangdu. Gwangdu pretended not to hear and looked away.
“Is there a room for us to stay?”
“of course. Just go in and use the room on the far left.”
“thank you.”
Song Hwa-rin entered the building with Suran. Even though it was calm, it was too calm.
I asked Gwangdu as I watched Song Hwa-rin disappearing in the distance.
“It doesn’t look that good, does it?”
“yes.”
“how much?”
“The night before you go to kill your enemy, maybe it’s the silence before a decisive battle.”
I sighed because it wasn’t just a joke.
Gwangdu said as if comforting him.
“Master, just live with me for the rest of your life.”
“I guess it has to be like that… … with you? “What about Dosun?”
“Who is Dosun? “The name is so old-fashioned.”
“It didn’t work out again.”
This time, Gwangdu let out a long sigh.
“It’s long, so to speak. Ah, master. We just live by ourselves. In a world without women. We can live well! “Let’s live freely in a peaceful world without jealousy and misunderstandings!”
It was a situation where I shouldn’t have laughed, but I ended up laughing.
As I walked towards the building, Gwangdu asked from behind.
“Where are you going? “You’re not going to clear up a misunderstanding with Song Sojeo, are you?”
I said without turning around.
“Because I can’t live with you.”
“betrayer!”
“If I think about your past when you actively pushed me not to let Song So-jeo go, who would be the traitor?”
Gwangdu smiled and followed behind me.
“Where is my room?”
* * *
That night, I was out in the yard with Song Hwarin.
After enjoying the moonlight walk back and forth in silence, I finally asked first.
“Aren’t you angry?”
“Am I supposed to be angry?”
“I’m glad it’s not.”
She was still calm and calm. She squatted down in the flower bed under her wall and looked at her flowers.
“As you know, I grew up as an only daughter without a man. His father desperately wanted his son. “He never expressed it to me, but I knew it.”
I think that was the case. Especially, if you were the head of the martial arts faction, you had to think about a successor.
In addition to her close relationship with her father, Song Woo-kyung thinks favorably of me because of her desire to get a reliable son-in-law as soon as possible.
“I tried hard to play the role of a son. I didn’t want to be a burden to my father or our family just because I was a woman. I was very scared, but that was why I persevered and went far away to learn martial arts. Well, it ended up being a mess.
only.”
She was now strong enough to talk about her teacher naturally.
“I don’t want to be a burden to anyone. Even if it’s you.”
I had a similar story last time.
I could tell. That her mind is acting as a limitation in her life.
In reality, no one thinks of it as a burden, but it’s like shackles of your own making.
I didn’t tell her about it. Limitations become meaningful when you break them.
“I knew how I felt about you when I saw you with her earlier.”
“How are you feeling?”
She just smiled and didn’t say anything about him.
“You told me that day, right? “Let’s see what happens.”
These were the words I said to her when I said goodbye to her on the day I came to Shandong.
“It did.”
“I really want to go now.”
As I looked at her eyes sparkling in the moonlight, I remembered one thing I realized through my past life and this life.
Life is not about goals. Life is about the journey.
martial arts,
