Episode 24.
Gust (4)
Nine Zhou Myeongga (九州明家).
A family that appeared in the world 300 years ago, during the worst period of turmoil and the peak of martial arts, and made a great contribution to destroying blood religion by helping the legendary master Four Fangs Wu, who is still talked about to this day.
Afterwards, they brought in unique martial arts from outside the world, combined them with martial arts from the Central Plains, and created their own festival, and within two hundred years they came to be called the best family in the world. This was the history of the Kuju Myeongga.
The reason why Guju Myungga was called the best in the world was simple.
Because it is strong.
Their power was as large as the two of the Seven Great Families combined, and the new martial arts they developed were evaluated as superior to the secret techniques of the Seven Great Families. The financial power was also enough to compete for the best as a single force, so it was worthy of being named the best in the world.
Yeonhojeong is provoking the Three Dukes of such a huge power.
Myeong Ho-rim’s eyes deepened.
“You’re the grand duke of the Yan family, right?”
I know it well.
“First of all, as the most adult at this meeting, I would like to express my gratitude. The one that caught the runaway colt. “It was too rough, though.”
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled without realizing it.
Now, a guy who must have been in his mid-twenties was talking about being an adult. That little joke was quite funny.
Myeong Ho-rim completely ignored Yeon Ho-jeong’s laughter.
“I can see that your martial arts skills are impressive. “I realized how exaggerated the rumors about you were, to have defeated the eldest son of the Tang family in one fell swoop.”
The rumor about Yeonhojeong was so famous that everyone knew about it.
A good-natured dog (父犬子).
At that time, Yeonwi, the head of the Yeonga family, was called Pangwangeom (判官劍) and was respected by the world. However, his eldest son, Yeon Ho-jeong, was said to have insufficient talent and character to continue the family.
However, the appearance of Yeonhojeong shown today was very different from the rumors.
“however.”
Myeong Ho-rim spoke in a somewhat scolding tone.
“No matter how much I want to prove myself, wouldn’t it be right to distinguish between vacant positions and private positions? “This is a meeting place, not an unarmed place.”
“….”
“Let’s start by cleaning up the surrounding area. “Once the mood calms down, I’ll go pour you a drink.”
“so.”
“hmm?”
“Can’t you play?”
The crowd looked at Yeon Ho-jeong with astonished faces.
Myung Ho-rim burst into laughter.
“It’s not difficult to play. I’ll just have fun with alcohol and laughter. ah! And you don’t have to worry about me throwing a drink. Like you said, wasn’t it a mistake?”
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.
Myeong Ho-rim continued speaking with a satisfied expression.
“Good, good. First, let’s move on from the party’s restraint…”
“If you don’t come, I will go.”
“what?”
Huh.
Yeon Ho-jeong walked towards Myeong Ho-rim.
It wasn’t like I was unfolding a divine law, or at least I wasn’t running around.
I walk. So naturally.
But when he moved, it felt like the heavy air was moving away like a wave.
The atmosphere was so heavy and stuffy that even those who tried to stop him hesitated. The moment Yeonhojeong moved, the air in the banquet hall seemed to become damp.
Myeong Ho-rim’s eyes widened.
‘what?’
whisker.
It’s not that I’m cautious. When I saw him walking leisurely, as if he was literally taking a walk, I wondered if he had the will to fight.
However, Myeong Ho-rim felt as if his entire body was tense. Even though I wanted to say something, I couldn’t open my mouth due to a strange sense of intimidation.
Just like that, Yeon Ho-jeong came right in front of Myeong Ho-rim.
‘…!’
It was a close range where you could strike an opponent by extending your fist. Yeon Ho-jeong stopped right there.
The two people glared at each other.
Sssssssssssssssss.
A snake-like snake crawled up Myeong Ho-rim’s neck.
Secretive yet flexible. But it was toxic. It was a vicious act, as if they would sink their fangs into your neck at any moment.
‘What kind of life does this guy have…?!’
At that time, Yeon Ho-jeong smiled slightly.
At that moment, Myeong Ho-rim’s body reacted without realizing it.
Paaang!
His fist swung, aiming for Yeon Ho-jeong’s face.
It was a hand strike without any preparatory movements. So it was fast and sharp.
Touuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
The fist that was thrown out bounced straight upward.
However, Myeong Ho-rim did not stop attacking. The deadly force wrapped around his neck was urging him to make a follow-up attack.
His twin fists moved cheerfully.
Pabababak!
It was a Yeonhwangwon technique that was swung by bursting the air in a narrow space. It was a steel foil that a famous family was proud of.
Although it could not be called a season, it was a martial art that was very useful in close combat. I reacted instinctively to live, but even then, I seemed to control myself.
Yeon Ho-jeong also responded immediately.
puck! Burbubbuk! Teuong! Faaagh!
The two people’s fists clashed with their palms and elbows, making a drumming sound.
Yeon Ji-pyeong’s eyes widened.
‘What about that fighting technique?’
Yeon Ho-jeong’s fighting technique, which parries Myeong Ho-rim’s iron chains, was a martial art that Yeon Ji-pyeong was also familiar with.
‘Thirteen volumes of love stories?!’
Yes.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s elastic martial arts technique was Yeonga’s 13 martial arts techniques, the basic martial arts technique of Yeonga. However, it was very different from the 13 volumes of Yeonga that Yeon Ji-pyeong knew.
‘Like that and that!’
The original meaning of the Thirteenth Volume of Yeonga was to subdue the enemy rather than kill them.
However, no one uses Yeongaken as a suppression technique. The reason why Yeonga warriors learn Yeonga Quan was to build body flexibility and a strong lower body, not to fight enemies.
In other words, it was a fighting technique that was not suitable for combat. However, my older brother was using a boxing technique similar to gymnastics to exquisitely block the famous fighter’s box fighting techniques.
‘no. It’s not at the level of blocking….’
Rather, it’s pushing.
Pabababak!
Myeong Ho-rim took a step back. At the same time, Yeonhojeong advanced strongly.
pop! Puff poop!
After the short, three-stroke Yeonhwan Kwon, a powerful pushing Jang Kwon (long hand).
Yeon Ji-pyeong’s eyes wavered.
‘One week, one week, one day!’
Bullfight!
“Hmm.”
Myung Ho-rim took two more steps back.
In fact, it wasn’t like he was stepping down, it was closer to being pushed out. Jang Kwon, who showed off after blocking all of Cheolsaebak’s dense attacks, was strong enough to hurt his bones.
Myeong Ho-rim looked down at his forearm.
My well-trained forearms were red and swollen. If I had blocked it incorrectly, my bones would have been broken.
‘strong!’
I almost broke my arm due to a punch that wasn’t done properly.
‘Unbelievable.’
At first glance, it was not a high-level fighting technique. He pushed himself this far with such martial arts skills.
It was a frighteningly delicate herbivorous operation. Even if it was operated by a peak expert, it was definitely not excessive.
“hey.”
Myeong Ho-rim, surprised, looked at Yeon Ho-jeong.
Before I knew it, Yeon Ho-jeong, who had backed away, had a look of disapproval on his face.
“Are you planning on ending this with a joke like this?”
“….”
“I guess I have to press it with the intention of killing it for it to pop out?”
Myeong Ho-rim’s cheeks trembled.
He was not the eldest son of the Guju famous family. However, wherever I went, I lived with the mindset of representing a famous family. But seven or eight people are hearing things like that from a young guy.
For a moment, a memory I wanted to forget came to mind.
A young man looking down at himself while holding a bloody wooden sword. The face of the young man who looked so much like him was filled with deep ridicule and contempt.
“You little brat…!”
It was then.
“stop!!”
The majestic sound that flowed across the sky echoed throughout the banquet hall. The people who had been watching the fight between the two in fascination looked at the source of the sound.
The warriors of Namgunghyeon and the Namgung family were lined up there.
“What on earth are you doing? Such intense martial arts exchanges at a meeting of the Seven Great Houses? “Are you out of your mind?!”
It was a strong tone.
Myeong Ho-rim hesitated without realizing it. He was swept away by Yeon Ho-jeong’s murderous spirit and instinctively swung his fist. I couldn’t help but feel stingy.
Nam Gung-hyeon looked at Myeong Ho-rim with cold eyes.
“Brother Myung. “Brother Myung is the most senior person in this meeting.”
“….”
“Our late index meeting is an honorable social gathering with decades of history. “I completely understand your anger, but you should have taken matters into your own hands.”
It was a clever remark.
It was a remark addressed to Myeong Ho-rim and at the same time a rebuke of Yeon Ho-jeong’s recklessness.
Namgung-hyeon looked at Yeon Ho-jeong.
“And the practitioner.”
Yeon Ho-jeong wasn’t even looking at him.
Namgoonghyun felt angry and angry.
He was already a guy who was trying to take care of his younger brother’s business. I didn’t like that such a guy was close to Zhuge Zhen.
But to cause such trouble at a meeting hosted by the Namgung family?
Anger boiled over.
“Are you out of your mind? What a shameless act it is to pick a fight with a child from the other family! “There has never been anyone like you in the history of the Later Index Meeting!”
Yeon Ho-jeong still did not look at Nam Gung-hyeon.
That sight kept stimulating Namgoonghyun. You have seen that the other person is not truly interested in your words and actions.
“Is the Namgung family so funny!”
At that time, Zhuge Yan stepped forward.
“That’s not what Namgung Sohyeop says.”
Namgoonghyeon’s eyes wavered.
“Zinc?”
“The banquet has been suspended. It’s not a private meeting. “Please pay attention to the title of Namgung Sohyeop.”
“…!”
“Let’s continue. There is something wrong with Namgung Sohyeop’s words. “I understand that you are angry as the host family, but how can you take one side and make unfair remarks?”
“Are you saying this is unfair? “What…!”
Zhuge Zhenyan said coldly.
“The party that ruined this meeting is not the practitioner, but the party cooperative.”
“…!”
“The practitioner was just trying to stop him.”
“No, Jegal Soje. Zhuge Xiaoze also saw it in person. He wasn’t trying to stop the party’s small cooperatives…”
“Didn’t the practitioner say it himself? “It was a mistake.”
“…?!”
“The Ming Confucius also admitted that it was a mistake. As far as I know, there is no cancer technology in Byeoksan Yeonga. “The attempt to stop the party’s small-scale cooperation by blowing the glass went astray.”
Zhuge Yan asked Myung Ho-rim.
“Am I right?”
Myeong Ho-rim, who was looking at Zhuge Zhen Yan, sighed.
“exactly.”
It was a word that buried the incident. Namgoonghyun’s face distorted.
Zhuge Yan looked at Yeon Ho-jeong.
“Student. In my opinion, there are definitely mistakes on the part of the practitioner. But I think I need to tell you why I came here, at least to put an end to the incident.”
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was glaring at Myeong Ho-rim, looked at Jegal Zhen-yeon.
Zhuge Zhen’s expression was resolute. But Yeon Ho-jeong read honest earnestness in those eyes.
Suddenly, I felt someone grabbing my sleeve.
“older brother.”
When I turned around, Yeon Ji-pyeong was standing there.
Surprisingly, there was no trace of caution or urgency on Yeon Ji-pyeong’s face. He opened his eyes clearly and looked at himself, and his stern expression stood out.
That wasn’t all. Everyone’s eyes were focused on Yeon Ho-jeong.
Yeon Ho-jeong sighed inwardly.
‘Yes, there is plenty of time.’
In my last life, I hadn’t even seen the beast’s collar, but now I felt like I had found its shadow. So I couldn’t control the rising pressure.
When the Dangyang ship had an accident, I thought it would have been better. If it’s a messy situation anyway, it won’t be surprising if something happens.
However, in this situation, it would be better to refrain for now.
Because he is not the Lord of the Black Emperor, but the Grand Prince of the Byeoksan Love House.
He glanced at Myeong Ho-rim again.
Myeong Ho-rim flinched.
“The martial arts of a famous family are truly unrivaled.”
“….”
“The prayer that shook the audience was impressive. “It is my fault for not being able to control my burning passion for victory.”
Myeong Ho-rim smiled. Although it was a bit far-fetched.
“I understand.”
“I have never allowed such a tone of voice.”
“…!”
“Was there a friendship between us?”
Myeong Ho-rim’s face suddenly hardened.
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled. His smile was not awkward like Myeong Ho-rim’s.
“Excuse me. “If I have the chance later, can I ask you to learn more?”
“…Let’s do that.”
“Thank you.”
Yeon Ho-jeong sternly suppressed him in front of everyone.
“I’m sorry for ruining the event because of this poor person. As you can see, Suyang is not the only one who lacks something. “My father also tells his son, who has a foul temper, that he doesn’t have enough patience, so he orders him to be punished.”
It was an unexpected self-deprecation. As someone who seemed like he would never do that, the atmosphere actually became softer. Enough to make people giggle.
Yeon Ho-jeong immediately noticed the changed atmosphere.
Although he could not control his life, he was a man of great standing who built the Black Castle with his bare hands. I knew how to show as much sociability as needed when needed.
“At tomorrow’s meeting, I will pour each person a drink as an apology. With that, I ask you to forgive this ugly b*stard’s rudeness.”
At that time, Paeng Dae-ho shouted.
“Nonsense!”
The attention of the crowd that had been directed at Yeon Ho-jeong shifted to Paeng Dae-ho.
Peng Dae-ho shouted with a slightly angry look on his face.
“One drink? Look at my body! “Are you telling me to forgive you with just one drink?”
“Then what should I do?”
“Let’s drink until our noses are crooked!” “If you can stay sane until we all get drunk, then I’ll forgive you!”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“I guess I’ll have to prepare myself for tomorrow.”
At those words, Paeng Dae-ho couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter.
“Khahaha! I like it because it makes me angry! Good! “As I said, it’s a fortune, so make sure to keep that promise.”
“I don’t know about anyone else, but I will definitely defeat you.”
“Hahaha!”
Thanks to Paeng Dae-ho, who came out of nowhere, the atmosphere was revived, and thanks to Yeon Ho-jeong, who deftly responded, the unpleasant atmosphere completely disappeared.
Zhuge Zhenyan breathed a sigh of relief. Yeon Ji-pyeong also smiled comfortably. Nam Gung-hyeon’s face became completely stiff, and Myeong Ho-rim could not hide his nervous expression.
That’s how the incident came to an end.
The biggest victim of that day ended up being the party. Although it was self-sufficient.
