—————————————
At the end of the branch of fate (3)
Regarding women, in my past life, I was not a master.
Although he didn’t go around hitting on women like a playboy, there were still a lot of women around him.
At that time, I was the best person in the world, and as the saying goes, so many women were hitting on me.
As I said before, I also dated the best woman in the world at the time. Of course, my relationship with her ended because of her family, which tried to take advantage of me by using me rather than the person she was with.
She is the great beauty of the Jungwon Academy, and I have met many of the best and most beautiful people. She has met many women who even now find it difficult to come to a conclusion whether this is love, lust, or just a so-so relationship.
When I met a beautiful woman and broke up with her, I wanted to meet an even more beautiful woman, and then even more beautiful. So more, more… … .
If I hadn’t become the Murim Lord at that time, I might have fallen in love with it. Even if I knew that it was nothing more than an ‘indulgence’ that ultimately left nothing behind. The swamp of pleasure was the deepest and most dangerous swamp.
And the more you struggle to get out, the deeper you fall.
“What are you thinking about?”
Song Hwarin’s words woke me up from my thoughts.
Old women? I couldn’t answer that.
“just. “It reminds me of a girl I used to be good at dancing.”
“who?”
“Nothing. Now, have a drink.”
I raised my glass. She raised her teacup and toasted again.
The dancers left the stage and quiet music flowed through the hall again.
I asked as she stared at my empty glass as I set it down.
“Would you like a drink?”
“no.”
She shook her head.
We talked about various things again. From stories about Shandong Wulin to stories about my parents.
“Your mother was a really good person.”
I feel that way even more because my mother passed away at an early age.
“It’s because you didn’t get hit by my mother’s fist.”
“no way? “You seem really classy.”
“Hehe. You’ll find out later. “A shot hidden behind that dignity!”
When I raised my fist, she laughed.
Drinking with her was as good as the atmosphere here. Even after emptying the entire bottle of alcohol, she talked about various things for a long time before coming out.
I don’t know what Song Hwarin thinks, but I wasn’t bored with her.
“it was fun.”
She smiled at my words.
“me too.”
She definitely looked much more beautiful when she smiled.
At that time, a group of warriors passed by on horseback along the road in front of the tavern.
There were about a dozen warriors wearing the same uniform, and the man running in the lead had quite the momentum. Even though it passed by quickly, I could feel it.
The horses that were running past us stopped all at once.
The man in the lead got off his horse and started walking towards us.
I saw. Song Hwa-rin stiffens after checking the man.
The man looked at Song Hwa-rin and said with a surprised face.
“I did it just in case, but it turned out to be right. Samae! “Isn’t it right?”
I, too, was surprised to hear the word ‘samae’.
“execution.”
From Song Hwa-rin’s title, it was clear that the two people were Sang-sang Jegan.
“What happened? “You suddenly go back to your hometown without saying goodbye?”
“It just happened that way.”
Song Hwarin introduced the man.
“This is the death penalty of Hoyeontak of the Hoyeon family, this is… … .”
I didn’t even give her a chance to hesitate with my introduction.
“My name is Byeokridan, Hwarin’s fiancé.”
“Oh, you made a covenant in the womb?”
“you’re right.”
“Nice to meet you. I see you today. “I am Tak, Lin Yi’s brother-in-law.”
He had a bright and refreshing personality. The way he looked at Song Hwarin didn’t seem to have any emotion beyond the death penalty.
“My sister-in-law, please take care of us in the future.”
“That’s what I have to say.”
Song Hwa-rin asked Ho Yeon-tak.
“But what’s going on here?”
“I had some business to take care of in Shandong, so I came down with Master.”
Song Hwa-rin’s expression hardened at the word Master.
“Has Master come with you too?”
“okay. You came together this time. He will be happy to see you. Be sure to come visit us. We are staying at the old family home in Chuseong. “I’m busy and have to go, so please come and see me.”
“yes.”
Hoyeontak greeted me as well.
“Then I’ll see you next time.”
“Let’s do that.”
Ho Yeon Tak left there with his companions.

She felt her mood sink to the bottom.
“Shall we go back now?”
I turned around first, but she grabbed my sleeve.
“Have a drink. “For real this time.”
* * *
Not far from there was a shabby tavern.
This time I drank there.
Song Hwa-rin downed several glasses of alcohol in one go, as if she wanted to drink all the alcohol she had been holding back in one go.
I just quietly watched her actions.
Eventually, Song Hwa-rin told me a story that had been hidden deep in her heart.
It was a story about her master.
“I was fifteen when I first started learning martial arts from my master. “His father was very happy to have the master of the Hoenn Sega as his teacher.”
The Hoyeon family was one of the powerful families and was second only to the Jungwon Ose family in prestige.
“It was nothing at first. Master really treated me well. But as I got older, Master’s eyes changed. Still, I hoped so. Because she was the one who cared for me like her own daughter. One night when I turned twenty, it snowed
When I opened it, Master was looking down at me. There was a strong smell of alcohol. I could see it in the eyes. That he wants to hug me. Master was hesitating. Will it attack me or not? I jumped up and slapped Master in the face. in my head
It turned white and I was out of my mind. “I ran straight out of the temple and returned home.”
Tears welled up in her eyes.
Now I know for sure. Why does she hate alcohol?
That’s how she came back home. I went to see her while I was drunk and caused her misbehavior. I really feel like I want to apologize on behalf of Byeokridan.
I also seemed to understand why she wanted to succeed based on her abilities rather than her looks. She is fed up with men who rush at her based solely on her appearance.
“I couldn’t tell my father that story. I just pretended that I came back after completing my martial arts training. From that day on, I suffered from nightmares every day. I’m still dreaming of that day. I told myself that it was all in the past, that nothing happened.
“It’s no use comforting Ro.”
It may be because of a feeling of betrayal by someone you trusted. Eventually tears flowed from her eyes.
Baekpyo is like that, and so is she. She was heartbroken at the thought that everyone was having nightmares and suffering from their own wounds.
After wiping away her tears with her sleeve, she emptied her glass again.
“Did you hear from Master afterwards?”
She shook her head at my question.
“no. There was no contact whatsoever. I thought the relationship was completely broken now… … .”
“You keep having nightmares? “Then it’s not over yet.”
“no. It’s over. ah… … “I don’t know either.”
She lifted her empty glass, and I filled it.
When she drank, I drank with her. She didn’t offer any comfort. No words of comfort came to mind. As a man living in the same era, I feel sorry for her.
Yes, if you can solve it like this, solve it.
Drinking and getting angry. If you want to shout, shout, and if you want to swear, swear.
If you keep nurturing even trivial things in your mind, something the size of a buzzard’s fingernail can eventually grow into a mountain.
You shouldn’t do that.
Horse manure should just end up as horse manure.

I picked her up and went home.
While riding on her back, she mumbled something.
“… … Don’t hate me too much. “I’m trying too.”
“I don’t like it.”
“really?”
“okay.”
closely.
Song Hwarin bit my shoulder mercilessly.
“Aya!”
“lie! “I hate it.”
This bastard!
I tried to get angry, but before I knew it, she was sound asleep.
I was so dumbfounded that I laughed. I didn’t hate her behavior. Today she confided in me something that is really difficult for a woman to say. She showed her trust in me.
By the way, this is my first time being bitten by a woman.
It was early morning when I arrived home.
Mr. Song thought there would be an emergency, but surprisingly, the reaction was calm.
Although Suran shot her fiercely, she was relieved that Song Hwa-rin was safe and could not hide her joy.
“I wasn’t worried about going out with you.”
Thanks to Song Woo-kyung’s unwavering faith, the hard work that went into carrying her melted like snow.
Of course he would have been worried. How could I not be worried when my daughter, who was like a fortune, went out with a grown man and did not come back until late at night?
But now that he has returned safely, there is no need to express his worries.
“sorry. “I didn’t notice the passage of time while the two of us were playing.”
“But Hwarin drinks to the point of getting drunk? if?”
“Not that anything bad happened. “I had a good time drinking it.”
“Then that’s enough. You must be tired, so go back and rest. “Thank you for bringing me back safely.”
“no. “I will be careful to avoid something like this next time.”
I had no intention of worrying Song Woo-kyung. Song Hwarin probably doesn’t want that either.
Now that I know, I just have to deal with that master.
Is he really a lustful maniac who needs to die, or is he a poor old man who is put to the test of lust for the first time? You’ll find out when you check.
“Then, I will formally meet you again on a bright day.”
“Be sure to come.”
Song Woo-kyung’s satisfied smile clearly revealed his true intention to let him see Song Hwa-rin at least once more.
As I was about to turn around, Song Hwa-rin, who was riding on Suran’s back, suddenly raised her head.
“hey! Byeokridan!”
While everyone was shocked, she shouted with a wide-eyed look on her face.
“Who is that bitch? “Who is that bitch who dances well?”
Song Woo-kyung and Suran widened their eyes at the sight of Song Hwa-rin for the first time.
I pretended I didn’t hear anything and quickly left there.
oh my god! I can’t believe I kept those words in my heart! Song Hwarin was also a woman.
* * *
The next day, an investigation into the Hoyeon family began.
Song Hwa-rin’s master is Ho Yeon-nam (呼延南).
He was the third younger brother of the Hoyeonse family head, Hoyeonse (呼延世), and was a person of considerable reputation in the Gangho community.
Up to this point, it was easy to find out, and the important thing was why he came here to Shandong, and unexpectedly, I found out about it through my father.
“The Shandong martial forest is unusual.”
“Is there a problem?”
“Do you remember the magical essence of Cheondomun that came down a while ago?”
“of course.”
“I thought he just walked away, but it looks like he actually died.”
I reacted in surprise.
“omg! “Who did this?”
“The rumor is that Yashang of Shandong killed them.”
“okay.”
Fortunately, word got out just as I intended.
“A person named Yeomhwa (廉華) came down from Cheondomun to investigate the matter.”
Cutting sword (切削劍) chloride.
This is a person I know. He was a person called the Butcher within Cheondomun. When trying to eliminate an opponent from Heavenly Gate, he steps forward.
He wasn’t an assassin. When he needs to force someone, he steps forward. In any case, sending him down meant that he had made a mistake at Cheondomun Gate. It means revenge, not negotiation.
“How are you getting out in the wild?”
The Night Vision is an organization whose identity is unclear. There are players in the midfield, but I don’t know how they are connected.
“They also called in helpers to avoid getting caught.”
no way?
“I heard that an expert from the Hoyeon family came to Shandong to mediate this matter.”
Now I can understand why Hoyeonnam came here with his disciples.
He came to help Shandong Night Market.
Being able to move the Hoyeon family means that Yasang is not a place where you can just roll around.
In the end, both sides will fight bitterly.
Not to mention Cheondomun and Yasang, even Hoyeonse didn’t appeal to me at the moment. There’s the Song Hwarin issue, and the fact that he joined hands with Yasang.
Now that things have come to this, we need to watch their movements closely. So, if there is something to be gained in the process, I will gain as much as possible.
Because the division of my enemies was an opportunity for me.
