Chapter 399 - Daebung and Field Mice

Son Gin could not bear to look at Snow White and lowered his head.

Among the minor clans in the province, Hyun-ryeong is a more cautious opponent than the Chilpmun.

Chilpamun is far from pointless bullying because it follows the agreement.

However, the order was different.

They had an absolute position in the prefecture, but they were not righteous.

Isn't there a saying, 'Severe politics is scarier than a tiger'.

The words of the munpa who was stamped by the hyeonryeong were similar.

Moving to another area is a good thing. Most of them closed their doors without even having time to do so.

Baek Seol-yeon patted Son Gin's shoulder as she bowed her head.

"are you okay. Non-partisan secular disciples are also non-partisan. No one can touch a non-partisan disciple in Ten Words. It will be the same for the prefecture.”

Of course, this is a vague guess.

So even Snow White couldn't say anything.

Shall the non-partisan take off their feet and give it to the secular disciple?

It may or may not be.

The position of a secular disciple was originally like that.

No sect actively protects the disciple of the secular family. To that extent, the secular disciples are also free from the head mountain. At first glance, it seems fair, but in fact, it is more like neglect.

Son Gin listened to her words in silence.

She also knew about Murim's physiology, so her chest was tight, but she didn't show it.

At that time, Baek Seol-yeon got lucky.

“Oh, I mean the kite priest.”

As the years went by, the friendship between the disciples of ‘Lu Dongbin’, who belonged to the secular family, also became quite solid. So, Baek Seol-yeon hoped that the feud between Yeon Nam-cheon and Son Gin would be resolved.

"yes… … .”

Son Gin shrugged.

She had been criticizing him all this time, so she knew what Seolyeon Baek was trying to say.

“I hope you get along well with him. If her sister comes to ‘Lu Dongbin’, she will become his sister-in-law. Don’t you know how good the relationship between ‘Lu Dongbin’’s classmates is these days?”

Baek Seol-yeon did not openly apologize.

Looking at Son Gin's face, it seemed that he didn't have to push him that hard.

“… … I will apologize.”

“Yeah, well thought out. he's such a great guy When he stays with him, he feels how inadequate I am. Even his brother will know.”

“Will he forgive me?”

Son Gin looked at Baek Seol-yeon with a face without confidence.

So far, Baek Seol-yeon has not done anything wrong. All I had to do was push it out of his mind and distance myself.

However, Yeonnamcheon is different.

He went around slandering Yeonnamcheon along with Man Hwang-ju and Cheon Sang-dong.

Even after the two left the Dragon Palace, it did not stop.

No, on the contrary, they criticized it more severely in spite of it.

However, Yeonnamcheon emerged as the best magician in Oryonggung, and the practitioners distanced themselves from him.

Then the same thing happened today.

“Priest Yeon wouldn't even know what his brother was talking about. Even if he knows, don't worry. If he was offended, he would have already met his brother. I'm kind of sensitive to that kind of stuff. But you haven't met It means you either don't know, or you don't care.”

“Then I’m glad… … .”

“Trust me. If you want to achieve good results in the question-and-answer ceremony, shake off the burden in your heart.”

"yes."

Son Gin nodded his head.

Not for the question and answer ceremony, but I wanted to be forgiven by him.

If I didn't do that, I wouldn't be able to take a single step forward.

next day.

Someone called Yeon Jeok-ha, who was trudging back to his lodgings after attending the lecture in the morning.

“Yeon Sohyeop.”

Yeonjeokha returned.

She was a female practitioner of ‘Haseon’.

She was the kind of person she never spoke to, although she occasionally ran into them in restaurants.

"Me?"

"yes. I have something to tell you.”

“What is it?”

As Yeon Jeok-ha stared at him, Gin Son pointed to a secluded garden.

“It’s okay to talk here, but can I go over there for a while?”

“I see.”

The younger brother strode toward her in the shade of the tree.

She stared blankly at the female practitioner who had arrived in the shade.

There are about 200 practitioners of Palseongak.

Among them, there are only a few names he knows.

No, with the exception of ‘Leo Dongbin’’s inner-class disciples, the only names he knew were Manhwangju and Cheon Sangdong.

Even though he became famous, people still did not approach him because his face was burdensome.

When her eyes met, the female practitioner hurriedly lowered her gaze.

She was used to it, so it didn't bother her.

“What is it?”

Son Gin, who hesitated for a moment, lowered his head and said.

“I came here because I wanted to apologize for what happened in the past. please forgive me."

"I don't know what's going on with that? I hope you can understand who Soje is and why he is saying that.”

Only then did Son Gin realize his mistake.

I was so embarrassed that I didn't even know that everything important was omitted.

“My name is Son Gin, a disciple of Ten Eon Cheongsanmun. When I first came to the Dragon Palace... … .”

She confessed that she had been at the forefront of Yeonnamcheon's slander.

Yeonjeokha scratched her head.

They said that Manhwangju and Cheon Sang-dong were nowhere to be seen these days, so they seemed to have left.

Strangely, I was more curious about the recent situation of the two than the gossip.

Maybe it was because they were the first people I got to know after coming to Ohryonggung.

“… … I was blinded by her qualifications and jealousy, so I went around saying things like that. please forgive me."

Hand Cain drew his hair.

Looking at the ocher-colored ground, I felt very ashamed of my current situation.

I didn't come to Ohryonggung for this.

When he thought of his family and alumni he had left behind at Cheongshan Gate, tears suddenly welled up in his eyes.

"That's not wrong. What?"

"yes?"

At the unexpected words, Son Gin raised his head.

The tears that had formed in the wind flowed down his cheeks.

“I didn’t say that those two didn’t exist. When I first came to Wulong Palace, I didn't know anything. Those two people approached me and told me about this and that. Among them, there was also a question and answer ceremony. I didn’t know anything about Taoism, so I paid money to buy the question-and-answer information.”

“… … .”

Son Gin looked at Yeonnamcheon with dazzled eyes.

Manhwangju and Cheon Sangdong said that Yeonnamcheon was caught selling questions and answers.

Excluding what they did and blaming Yeonnamcheon for everything!

“If it had ended, it wouldn’t have been a big deal. But before I saw it, I thought about it. So I also sold the information to someone else at a low price. haha."

Laughing shyly.

Back then, I hated Manhwangju and Cheon Sangdong, but now that I think about it, it's not a big deal.

Son Gin blankly stared at Yeonnamcheon.

This is the first time anyone has ever spoken and thought like this.

I heard that the virtuosos think differently, but seeing it in person gave me goosebumps.

Not in a bad way, but because I felt the thrill.

It was as if he could hear the sound of his own beating heart.

She seemed to know why Seolyeon Baek had said that to her last night.

She thought, ‘She wants to be this person’s sister-in-law.

In ‘Leo Dongbin’, she wanted to stay with him.

Suddenly, Baek Seol-yeon's words came to mind.

―Yeonnamcheon is a great. The men my brother met are deuljwa who live in the thicket. They just saw the shadow of Daebung fluttering on the ground and said this and that on their own.

right.

They weren't the only field mice, they were field mice themselves.

However, now that I know that there is such a daebung flying over my head, it will change now.

Son Gin wiped away the tears with the back of her hand and spoke in a determined tone.

“Yeon So-hyeop, I will work hard to rise to ‘Leo Dong-bin’. I definitely will.”

"is it so. Then, let’s meet at ‘Leo Dongbin’.”

It is when Yeon Jeok-ha is about to leave after leaving her words of encouragement.

Son Gin hurriedly called, as if belatedly thinking about it.

"ah! Yeonsohyup.”

"yes?"

“Even if they are the same class disciple, the named disciple will be a bit different, right?”

“In which part?”

“The relationship between the main mountain and the secular disciples is a bit ambiguous. I think Gimyeong disciples will be treated a little more like Bonsan disciples.”

“I heard that. why?"

Yeon Jeok-ha looked at Son Gin with her puzzled eyes.

I couldn't understand why a cultivator who was not a secular disciple would ask such a question.

"actually… … There were some embarrassing things because of me.”

Son Gin was ashamed to death, but she told me about the quarrel at the outpatient clinic last night.

He wants to help somehow, now that it happened to save himself.

Yeonjeokha, who had been listening quietly, narrowed her eyes.

Traditionally, green forests hate government officials.

Among the masters of the green forest, there were many who entered the mountain after fighting the Hyeonryeong.

The number of people who escaped the tyranny of the prefecture and became slash-and-burn citizens and then became bandits is uncountable.

There was such a person among the bandits in Obong Sanchae.

For that reason, to Yeon Jeok-ha, the prefecture was a 'madu appointed by the state'.

His way of dealing with people is simple.

reciprocation.

In other words, it pays back according to cause and effect.

It was righteousness and prudence for him to give back according to what he had done.

“So, among the trainees, there is the eldest son of Juksan-hyeon. You mean he's going to bully Sister Baek? Is that because of the prefectural decree?”

“Yes, he said so with his own mouth. He said that raising his parents well is also a skill.”

“Wow, twin bastards.”

Immediately, curse words came out of Yeon Jeok-ha's mouth, but Son Gin was not surprised.

It was nothing compared to confessing that he had acted as an impostor in the Palace of the Dragon.

“My sister said she would help the shaman faction, but the head office doesn’t take care of the secular disciples. I was wondering if the shaman would show interest if the Yeonsohyeop said something... … .”

"That's not something the independents should do."

When Yeon Jeok-ha drew a line, Son Gin's face darkened.

Deep down, he expected his help, but he cut like a knife, leaving his head blank.

“The sister-in-law's job is my job. I'll finish it before the nonpartisans even step out.”

"ah!"

Son Gin looked at Yeonnamcheon with an excited face.

I knew it!

His thoughts about him were not wrong.

Sister-in-law's job is my job!

He has another reason to want to join ‘Leo Dongbin’.

"however… … Are you okay? The opponent is the lord of Juksan-hyeon.”

Even though Yeonnamcheon is the best magician in Oryonggung, his limits are clear.

Wouldn't the name of a shaman rather than a sorcerer work against the Hyeonryung?

Yeonjeokha said to her that she was anxious.

“This world There's nothing a wizard can't do. Master Baekwoon said, “Believe in yourself.” I also believe in 'I can do it'. That's enough.”

After those words, he continued to walk with a continual spell.

Son Gin could not take her eyes off the back of Yeonjeok-ha, who was moving away.

What a calm force!

His heart felt like it would explode with overwhelming emotion.

She whispered softly in case anyone would hear.

“See you in ‘Leo Dongbin’.”

It was a promise I made to myself.

She was happy just to have secretly called him.

Eventually, Son Gin raised his head and looked up at the blue sky.

Just as Seol-yeon Baek said, after taking off her burden, she is so relieved that she is about to fly away.

It's when she's struggling with her thrill.

“Hands up. Were you here? You didn’t even know that, and you looked for it for a long time.”

The face of Son Gin, who was excited with dreams and hopes for the future, hardened for an instant.
