On the road to spring (1)
Gwangdu was training in Huwon.
The guy was using the three Namhae Seven Styles taught to me almost perfectly.
I felt that Gwangdu had talent in his movements. Even if it wasn’t genius talent, I could definitely feel the natural talent.
The fact that he caught my eye as a reincarnation made me think that maybe that talent had found me.
Gwangdu was so absorbed in his training that he didn’t even notice me approaching.
Watching him sweat reminded me of a time when I was practicing a long time ago.
What was the driving force behind my training?
At that time, I really wanted to become stronger. So, all she wanted to do was become the strongest man in Gangho. Yes, what made me grow the most is ‘earnestness.’
If my desire was to not become a half-baked warrior, then what was the driving force behind Gwangdu?
“Hey! “I don’t know if 10 assassins came and went.”
“uh? “When did you come?”
“I’m here to keep an eye on whether you’re playing around or not.”
“Did you see what I was doing?”
When I nodded, Gwangdu asked cautiously.
“How was it?”
The guy was really growing day by day. He was an intelligent guy and had a sense of martial arts.
I said with a smile.
“Now, I’ll teach the rest of you how to eat herbivores.”
“ah!”
A joy that could not be hidden spread across Gwangdu’s face.
I taught him the other four herbivores. He learned the movements exactly as he learned the previous three beginner skills.
Does he know or not? The fact that no one in Gangho can receive such high-quality teaching. Because the person who teaches it is me, I can learn quite an amazing martial art called Namhae Chil-sik so easily.
“Now all the Namhae Seven Styles have been passed down.”
“thank you. young master.”
“Even with the same martial art, there is a clear difference depending on who uses it. In other words, the most important thing in martial arts is always people. Do you understand?”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
“And from now on, practice with this sword.”
“omg! “Did you buy it for me?”
“okay. “Throw away what you bought before.”
On the way back, I stopped by Cheolbang and bought a bag of the best made product there. It wasn’t very expensive, but it wasn’t cheap either.
“young master!”
If I left it like that, I felt like I would shed tears, so I spoke quickly.
“That’s it. “Try pulling out the Tao.”
Gwangdu elected Tao. His hands were shaking.
“Maybe it’s because the master bought it for me, but it feels completely different. Even if you listen to the reports, you won’t feel this way.”
“I’m just saying that because I haven’t heard it.”
Famous swords and reports are special. When you listen to it, it feels completely different. Because the build quality itself is different.
When you hold the handle, it feels comfortable in your hand. From the stability provided by perfect weight distribution to the indescribable solid feeling. Really, just hearing it gives me the confidence that I can cut anything. That is what treasured swords and famous swords are.
Well, if things go well, there will come a day when I will be able to own a sidewalk in Gwangdudo.
“First, focus on your hand holding the Tao. From now on, it will be more precious than the chopsticks you eat with.”
“yes!”
“The blade must be scary now. But you have to become familiar with the blade. “It will save your life, and it will save your friend’s life.”
Gwangdu’s trembling gradually subsided when he heard that he was saving someone.
“The goal is to unite the Tao and body, for the Tao to become one with you.”
“What does it mean to be one flesh?”
“Have you ever thought in your life that it was strange to have arms attached to your body?”
“No.”
“That’s it. This means that there should be no discomfort at all in holding the sword. “It means that the sword must become an arm.”
“ah! I see what you mean. What book do these words come from? “Are you talking about the South Sea Chil-sik secret level?”
“okay.”
Although I answered yes.
Boy, these are words from the greatest man in the world himself.
“I’m going. “Practice.”
“yes!”
As I was turning around, I stopped and asked.
“Have you ever hated someone?”
Gwangdu looked at me quietly.
“You bastard! “Not me.”
Only then did Gwangdu burst into laughter.
“hmm. Yang Ki-gang, I hated that guy.”
“yes? “Isn’t that what you mean by ‘dislike’?”
“why?”
“no.”
“Who doesn’t like you? Ah, the question is wrong. Everyone will hate it anyway. So how much do you hate it? Enough to die?”
As he spoke, Gwangdu ran away at a distance.
When I shook my fist and said I was being scolded, he started giggling.

If Galsaryang or Baekpyo saw me like this, they would probably be scared.
I have lived a life of being supported all my life.
There were only a few people who could look me in the eye and have a conversation.
Everyone was afraid of me.
He is a person who has lived his entire life with extreme courtesy created by fear.
Was that happy?
At one time.
At one time, I thought it was the power to prove and reveal myself. I thought that was my pride.
But now that I think about it, it was a way of life that I didn’t have to choose. How nice would it have been to be this informal with them?
It’s always too late to regret.
As I was walking, Gwangdu spoke from afar.
“I don’t know who you are, but if you get to know me, you will like me.”
You won’t make the same mistake anymore.
* * *
Song Woo-kyung visited Byeok Clan Prosecutor’s Office.
Byeok Do-jun was nervous at the visit of his close friend, whom he had not heard of in advance. He had never come by suddenly like this.
“I just came to see you.”
“Welcome. Even so, I was just thinking about having a drink. “How is it?”
“It’s good.”
These two people had been interacting for so long that I could tell what they were thinking just by looking at their faces. Byeok Do-jun was grateful to Song Woo-kyung. Even though her fortunes were declining, her unwillingness to break off the engagement showed her friend’s feelings.
When Byeok Clan’s situation was not going well, Song Woo-gyeong tried to lend him money several times. But out of consideration for her friend’s pride, she never spoke up. She was so grateful for that too.
The two of them had a few drinks back and forth.
“After the death of the leader, the river is in a state of excitement.”
Byeok Do-jun nodded at Song Woo-kyung’s words.
“I guess so. “Because it was a powerhouse ruled by one person for a long time.”
Song Woo-kyung, who started off by talking about the leader, got to the point.
“Dosungyeong came to visit a few days ago.”
“Dosungyeong?”
Do Sun-gyeong was the head of the Shandong Sanghoe (山東商會). Shandong Chamber of Commerce is the largest among the merchants in Shandong and can be said to represent Shandong.
“What did you say?”
“They have proposed that they unite various families in Shandong and create the Shandong Union (山東聯合), saying they will support it.”
“Shandong Union?”
Byeok Do-jun was surprised by the unexpected words.
“Didn’t the previous leader prohibit the formation of an alliance between the martial arts faction?”
This was something that Cheon Ha-jin strictly prohibited, as it was said that if alliances were created, various conflicts would arise.
“Because that squadron leader is no longer there.”
Those were meaningful words.
“I heard that alliances are already forming in other regions. They are moving before a new leader is appointed. Even if a new leader is elected, his influence in the midfield will be weak at the beginning of his term.”
It was something that Byeok Do-jun had never even thought about. In that respect, he felt that he was indeed slow in political movement.
“I’m not suggesting we do that right now. He said that after the head office and the Shandong Chamber of Commerce formed a strategic partnership, we would gradually unite each faction one by one. “I came to you because I was worried about what to do.”
I could feel that Dosungyeong was somewhat in a state of energy. If she had refused right away, she wouldn’t have come this far.
I understood him. It was an offer that would have tempted Byeok Do-jun even in his position.
There may be many important things in the martial arts faction, but the most important thing in growing power was money. If the current capital is combined with Songjiajang, it will be able to rise to the top of Shandong’s literary school in an instant.
“To be honest, it’s also because of Yang So-bang. As you know, their ark died and Jeong Yeo, the second ark owner, became the ark. Jeong Yeo says that because she controls the inside, she has no time to look at the outside. This is a golden opportunity for our headquarters to rise to the top in Shandong. Of course, you will have to help.”
It was a word of humility. The Song family was the second most powerful family in Shandong after Yang Xiaofang. Even if Byeok Clan Inspection does not help, we will be able to rise to the top of Shandong.
“Honestly, I couldn’t refuse it on the spot.”
“I understand.”
As the leader of the martial arts faction, it was natural to want to become the loser of a region. Byeok Do-jun himself has already climbed there once.
“I will respect your wishes and actively help you. There is just one thing to keep in mind. “The moment you join hands with them, many things will happen that you have never experienced before.”
“I’m prepared for that.”
“When are you going to tell me?”
“You said you would think about it for a few days.”
Song Woo-kyung added as she emptied her drink.
“Kangho is changing rapidly every day.”
Song Woo-kyung came to see me before leaving.
“How are you?”
“yes. “Have you been at peace so far?”
It’s still a very awkward relationship. Since they had not yet broken off their engagement, he was also his father’s friend and prospective father-in-law.
“I know you wandered once.”
“sorry.”
“No. I think that the wandering of youth is not a bad thing if it passes like a fever. “It will help you overcome the wandering that will come later.”
I am so grateful to him for thinking so favorably of me. Of course, it may have originated from his friendship with his father. I really envy the friendship between these two people. Because it was something I never had in my past life.
“Have you met Hwarin?”
“Yes, once by chance.”
“by chance? “Is that why you’re using it while you’re engaged?”
“sorry.”
“Are you still paying attention to what Rin said that day about breaking off the engagement? “It’s just a girl’s whim, so don’t worry about her.”
“You know that’s not the case, right?”
“you!”
“I think Lin is right. “She should be left to her own decision, at least as far as her marriage is concerned.”
Song Woo-kyung looked at me with that rugged look as if she was glaring at me.
But I calmly stared at him. At least I have no intention of marrying her, so there is no need to make her have unnecessary expectations.
“No matter what, I won’t give up on you.”
Song Woo-kyung left those words.
After he left, Gwangdu, who had been waiting outside, came inside.
“You just say that you will do better from now on, why are you talking so stubbornly?”
“Do you really want me to get along with Song So-jeo?”
“Are you saying that?”
“why?”
“Why? How many times have I told you this before? Because it’s pretty. To put it bluntly, is she just pretty? The family is good, smart, and the craftsman has a good personality. What more do you want here? From what I can see, you must have saved Kangho in your past life.”
what? Now that I think about it, it seems like I saved Kang-ho in my past life?
Even if that were the case.
“But the most important thing is missing, right?”
“what? Personality? That’s perfect, how about a little more temperament? It’s strange that she’s so perfect but has no personality. “Just be patient!”
“There is no love.”
Gwangdu was startled by my words.
“We don’t love each other, do we?”
The guy looked at me blankly.
“Did I say something wrong?”
“no.”
“But why are you looking at me like that?”
“I think you’ve really grown up. Just a little while ago… … “I felt like an adult.”
I burst out laughing.
“But why did you come?”
Only then did Gwangdu convey the business he had forgotten.
“By the way, the head of the family is calling.”
