Episode 33. Maengnyongwa River (猛龍過江) 22013.12.24.
Sa Soo-yeon made no reply to Okryong’s words, which she couldn’t tell whether they were praise or ridicule. No, she couldn’t.
“haha.”
Sa Su-yeon calmed her rough breathing. It was almost a miracle that she survived the death spiral caused by her own sword and the force of her Jade Dragon. If she had misjudged her even for a moment, she would have already left no trace.
Okay.
Sa Su-yeon raised her sword. Her shoulders were still shaking, but her eyes were still shining.
“Let that person go.”
The Jade Dragon smiled.
“It looks like you want to protect this person. But you shouldn’t do that.”
A cold energy began to flow from the hand placed on Sonbin’s head. Sonbin tried not to show it, but he couldn’t help but see his complexion change.
“The more she does, the more significant he becomes and the more dangerous he becomes. Because the person you want to protect is nothing more than an easy weakness. “If you really want to protect this person.”
Sarah.
Jade Dragon lightly stroked Sonbin’s head. Sonbin got goosebumps.
“You shouldn’t even blink. Even if a person’s arm gets cut off, he acts like it has nothing to do with him.”
The Jade Dragon slowly raised his hand.
“That’s how you can protect it. “Just like I did.”
Okay.
Sa Su-yeon clearly saw his eyes turning deadly. He really intends to cut off Son Bin’s arm. And Sa Su-yeon could never do as he said.
“no!”
At the same time as she shouted, Sa Su-yeon launched her body towards the jade dragon.
Hiss.
Her blue shining sword rushes towards the Jade Dragon’s arm. But the Jade Dragon was faster.
“Heh.”
The Jade Dragon’s hand moved lightly with a light smile.
Paang!
At that moment, Sonbin felt his body being strongly thrown forward. With just a light wave of her hand, the Jade Dragon threw away her hand. Like throwing a rock.
Boom.
‘100 million.’
The heavens and earth turned upside down and Sonbin’s vision became dizzy. Her empty and eerie, unique feeling of floating in the air comes over Sonbin.
‘laugh.’
Sa Su-yeon bit her lip. The direction in which Son Bin was thrown was exactly where Sa Su-yeon’s sword flew. Sa Su-yeon immediately withdrew his sword and twisted his body lightly in the air.
Whilick.
puck!
As soon as he hit something soft, Sonbin felt a strong force grab him.
widely.
Sa Soo-yeon, who grabbed Son Bin, got down on the ground. Only then did Sonbin realize that Sasuyeon had accepted him.
“are you okay?”
Sa Su-yeon asked as she gently put Son Bin down. She still felt dizzy, but Sonbin responded as casually as possible. No, she tried to answer.
“It’s okay… … cow.”
Sa Su-yeon’s arms are still wrapped around Son Bin’s waist. Son Bin struggled to retreat from Sa Su-yeon.
Stumbling.
Sonbin’s legs are shaking. Her gunner Yeon tried to help her again, but her son Bin held up her hand and stopped her.
“no. Rather… … .”
Sonbin raised his eyes. A handsome man with thin lines, dressed in snow-white clothes, with his face covered by a transparent green fan, was looking at them. With a soft yet cold gaze.
Okay.
Sa Soo-yeon stood covering Son Bin. She points her sword straight at the Jade Dragon.
“You have no skills, no sense, and no ability to learn… … .”
The Jade Dragon sighed and lightly shook his head.
“His name is a shame.”
That was a clear mockery of Sa Su-yeon. Sa Su-yeon only stiffened her face and she did not answer anything. It was Sonbin she answered.
“Other people’s opinions… … “It’s actually like that.”
Sonbin said as he adjusted his disheveled clothes. Noticing that there was dirt here and there on his clothes, Sonbin frowned slightly and stretched out his hand to shake off the dirt.
Tuk.
“At first, you want to hear someone else’s impressions. “I wonder what it would have been like.”
Sonbin raised his head.
“It feels good to hear a compliment, but when you hear a bad review, you want to argue back. It makes you want to protest that that’s not true. But as time goes by, you will eventually realize.”
Sonbin smiled while looking at Sasuyeon.
“The point is that no one takes responsibility for it. You can accept it and change it, or you can completely ignore it, but in the end, only you have to walk your own path.”
The Jade Dragon frowned slightly. An unpleasant light is evident in his eyes.
“This is a little advice to a young lady who is receiving criticism for the first time in her life, as a senior who has suffered from criticism for a long time.”
Sonbin said, looking straight at the Jade Dragon.
‘are you okay. calm down.’
Sonbin muttered to himself. Although she was pretending to be bold with her eyes wide open, she actually felt like lowering her eyes right now. But he couldn’t just remain silent.
It is a sword wielded by a young lady who has never properly learned anything and is now in the world for the first time. I’ve only seen the Jade Dragon’s Jade Dragon Charm that she unleashed a few times. Sajahyeok, who threw it to him to complete it, is outrageous, but Okryong, who says something about it, is also outrageous.
No, it’s not just severe, it’s even absurd. Besides, isn’t it too much to mention your father’s name?
The moment Sonbin heard Jade Dragon’s review of Sa Su-yeon, something rose up in his heart. So she couldn’t stay silent.
‘are you okay. Maybe soon… … .’
There was another reason why Sonbin could boldly speak to the Jade Dragon. And that was actually the biggest reason.
“you… … .”
It was the moment when the Jade Dragon was about to say something in an unpleasant voice.
“That is correct.”
Jerk.
A heavy voice was heard. And everyone’s eyes turned into the darkness at once.
“You have to walk your own path.”
Jerk, jerk.
A person appeared from the darkness. A huge black sword hung on the back of a large body. It was Sajahyuk.
“Because no one will take responsibility for it.”
widely.
Sajahyeok stopped. Sajahyuk said, looking at the jade dragon with those intense eyes.
“It’s been a while.”
“Yeah, it’s been a while.”
The Jade Dragon answered.
“I thought you were waiting for me on the snowy mountain, but I didn’t expect to see you here.”
“It’s not that new.”
Sarah.
The Jade Dragon said, lightly waving his fan. A gentle smile appeared on his frozen face.
“Have I changed my mind once or twice?”
“okay. “Not once or twice.”
Sajahyeok said.
“But I still don’t understand. Why are you… … .”
“stop.”
Jade Dragon interrupted Sajahyeok.
“Are you old too? Or did you suddenly become sentimental when faced with an enemy who was gnashing his teeth? “I guess we can’t talk like this anymore, right?”
Sajahyeok faced the jade dragon’s sharp gaze in silence.
“that’s right.”
With Sajahyeok’s answer, momentum slowly began to rise in his body.
“Not anymore.”
“joy. “That impatient nature still remains.”
Palak.
Jade Dragon pointed his fan at Sajahyeok. Sa Su-yeon and Son Bin flinched. However, Sajahyeok’s momentum did not change at all.
“Come to the snowy mountain.”
Jade Dragon said.
“I’ll give you what you want most.”
Sajahyuk let out a chuckle.
“What I want no longer exists in this world.”
“Well, is that really the case? I think there are still a lot. for example… … .”
Sonbin saw the Jade Dragon’s eyes shining sharply.
‘ah.’
There was no time to think. The moment I realized, Son Bin was already pushing Sa Su-yeon aside.
Huh.
thud!
A powerful force passed right in front of Sonbin’s nose. And then the Jade Dragon’s laughter was heard.
“Hehehe. look.”
His laughter could not hide his joy.
“It was right in front of you. “If you lose it, it’s what you want most.”
The Jade Dragon smiled while looking at Sajahyeok.
Before he knew it, the lion-haired powel was in his hand, radiating blue energy. And the traces that Powell had made on the land were creating a deep divide between Jade Dragon and Sa Su-yeon. Even Sa-hyeok was moved by Ok-ryong’s lies towards Sa Su-yeon.
Let’s go.
Silently, the Jade Dragon took a step back.
“Come to the snowy mountain. I’ll wait there. And with you… … .”
The cold Jade Dragon’s gaze turned to Sa Su-yeon and then moved to Son Bin. The Jade Dragon’s eyes smiled thinly, as if mocking him.
“you also.”
Let’s go.
The Jade Dragon takes a step back again. His figure slowly began to melt into the darkness.
“It won’t be easy. And, you don’t have to wait long.”
“It’s not difficult.”
Sajahyeok said.
“And, it won’t take long.”
Sajahyeok’s eyes were heavy as he looked straight at the Jade Dragon, who was fading away.
“Hehe.”
The Jade Dragon, whose laughter had now become faint, spoke in a whisper.
“I’m looking forward to it.”
As his voice disappeared into the wind, his figure also disappeared. Just like a small candle going out. Sajahyeok was silently looking at the place where he disappeared.
“Are you gone?”
Sonbin asked in a nervous voice. In fact, it seemed certain that he had disappeared without even having to ask. However, the fear and shock he gave me was so great that I had to check it again.
“went.”
Sajahyuk nodded and answered. And then I looked back at Sa Su-yeon.
“Are you okay?”
“are you okay.”
Sa Su-yeon bit her lip and gave a short answer before sheathing her sword.
Whilick.
However, her disheveled hair and badly torn clothes were beyond acceptable. There are many small wounds revealed through torn clothes.
“Sozer. This… … .”
Sonbin took off his outerwear and handed it to Sasuyeon. Sa Su-yeon, who was about to decline, sighed slightly when she saw herself and took Son Bin’s clothes.
“thank you.”
Sonbin noticed that her outstretched arm was trembling slightly. She wanted to put it on herself, but Sa Su-yeon probably wouldn’t accept it.
Palak.
Sa Su-yeon draped Son Bin’s clothes over her shoulders.
“I’ll go in first.”
Her words were directed at Sonbin. Without saying anything to Sajahyeok, Sasuyeon turned and walked away.
Sleep, sleep, sleep.
Sonbin looked at Sajahyeok while listening to her unstoppable footsteps. However, Sajahyuk just raised his head and looked at the night sky. Holding a black sword, Powell, in one hand.
“I will help you for a moment.”
“There is no need to come.”
Sajahyeok said.
“I’ll be in soon too.”
Even though he said that, Sajahyeok didn’t look like he would leave that place easily. Anyway, Sonbin quickly walked towards Sasuyeon.
Crack, thump.
It seemed like he left quickly, but Sa Su-yeon was quite far away. As she was almost running, Sonbin was able to go to her side.
Sleep, sleep, sleep.
Sa Su-yeon walked without hesitation. And her expression was so angry that it was obvious that she was trying to pretend that nothing had happened. Because she didn’t know how to talk to her, her son Bin just walked next to her in silence.
Sleep, sleep, sleep.
“I was nothing.”
She said as if blurting out.
“All the warriors I met when I came out into the world were there. The person called Later Ji-soo and the people who were said to be the successors of the prestigious political faction were not that great. So I guess I was thinking that way without realizing it. I’m saying it’s okay, there aren’t many great people in the world. But the reality is… … .”
Sa Su-yeon bit her lip with her gaze still facing forward.
“I couldn’t do anything, really nothing. I wonder how ridiculously conceited I was… … .”
Her voice quiets down. Sonbin glanced at Sasuyeon’s face. Her eyes were moist. Biting her lip and blinking her eyes may be to keep her tears from flowing.
“Are you going to give up?”
widely.
Sa Su-yeon stopped walking. And she looked back at her son-bin with sharp eyes. However, Sonbin spoke without any concern.
“If you’re going to give up, the answer is simple. Pack your bags like this… … .”
“I don’t give up.”
Sa Su-yeon said through gritted teeth.
“I will never, ever give up.”
Sonbin smiled.
“Then I guess you already know what to do.”
Sa Su-yeon was silent for a moment. And after a while, she answered.
“is it so.”
Sa Su-yeon said while looking straight at Son Bin. Her eyes, which had been shaking for a moment, were shining again.
“I already know.”
Okay.
Son Bin put his hands together and politely bowed to Sa Su-yeon. Sa Soo-yeon looks puzzled at Son Bin’s sudden example.
“thank you. “If it wasn’t for Sozer, I probably wouldn’t have survived.”
Sa Su-yeon smiled bitterly.
“If it weren’t for me, there would have been no reason for Confucius to have suffered such a thing, right?”
“But even in that situation, Sozer did not abandon me until the end. If it had been anyone else, most people would have run away to save their lives. “If that were the case.”
“escape… … .”
Sa Su-yeon repeated Son Bin’s words with some seriousness.
“There is another way.”
Sa Soo-yeon’s appearance as she muttered to herself was serious.
“But again, that’s impossible. “There was only one way to survive from him: to move forward.”
Sa Su-yeon raised her head and spoke with a serious expression. Sonbin smiled bitterly without realizing it.
“I am just a civil servant.”
Sonbin said.
“If you need my help, I will be happy to help you at any time.”
“thank you.”
Sa Su-yeon smiled. And then he moved his feet towards the guest room again. Her steps were lighter than before and definitely relaxed.
‘I guess I’ll have to get some clothes first.’
Sonbin thought as he looked at Sasuyeon wearing her clothes like a coat. The appearance of Sa Su-yeon wearing men’s clothing was also quite attractive.
“Hmm.”
Clearing his throat, Sonbin quietly turned his head. She was torn because her white skin was peeking through her clothes.
