Episode 292
Yasudao (野獸道) (2)
“Father.”
Yeonwi, who was sweeping the snow in the yard, straightened her back.
“Did you sleep well?”
“yes.”
Yeonwi turned around.
In his eyes, he saw his second son dressed neatly.
A smile appeared on Yeonwi’s face.
Because I was busy with the work of the Murim League, I couldn’t even visit the family home. In other words, it meant that the head of the family failed to properly handle his duties as the head of the family.
My second son and his family took care of all the work. Of course, they occasionally exchanged letters to check on the family’s status, but it must have been very difficult to lead the family without a final decision-maker.
“You’ve grown a lot.”
When I saw Yeon Ji-pyeong again after a long time, she had matured beyond recognition.
Although he still had a youthful appearance, his distinct features became clearer, and his chiseled jawline and straight forehead looked surprisingly adult.
The long limbs were developed into an ideal body shape for practicing swordsmanship, and the muscles hidden by the clothes were also well-honed and had strong elasticity.
And his height has grown noticeably.
Although he is a little shorter than himself or his eldest son, he has grown by more than half a height compared to when he left the family. At this level, wherever I went, I heard that I had grown up well.
finally.
“Swordsmanship and Iron Sword Demonstration have already reached the level of maturity. “It is an unprecedented achievement for such a person of his age.”
Yeonwi smiled and nodded.
“It was a lot of hardship.”
“…thank you.”
A small surprise appeared on Yeon Ji-pyeong’s face.
‘He became soft.’
The father Yeon Ji-pyeong remembers was always a strict and cold-hearted person. Although he had very deep feelings, he was not one to show them outwardly.
But now?
“Are you feeling okay?”
“yes? Ah yes! “In reality, there aren’t many injuries.”
Yeonwi shook his head.
“For Naegasoo, energy is completely different from the energy recognized by ordinary people. “Because they seek to develop their bodies by manipulating energy with strong intentions, if they take a big hit on their mind, the hit on their bodies can be greater than that of an ordinary person who has not developed internal energy.”
“Yes.”
“Strengthen your mind and body. Although it may not have been the actual battle you wanted, in the end, Moorim is that kind of place. This is true not just of Moorim but of the world. “You never know when and where something will happen.”
“I felt it.”
Yeonwi tapped Yeon Jipyeong on the shoulder.
“Still, it wasn’t easy, but I overcame it really well. “You’ve really grown up.”
Yeon Ji-pyeong’s eyes wavered.
He didn’t expect his father to be like this. Is that why? The sight of my father acknowledging me as an adult with a smiling face seemed to bring up indescribable emotions.
“Thank you.”
“Okay, I just need to shake it off. “Let’s finish sweeping the yard and then have breakfast together.”
“yes? ah! “I will do it myself.”
“It is done. What kind of cleaning is this guy who just came to his senses doing? “Wait next to me.”
There was no way to stop him. Yeonwi took a broom and swept the snow accumulated in the yard.
months! months!
Every time I used it, the snow that had piled up flew off the wall like a wave.
After seeing that, Yeon Ji-pyeong could tell that her father had cleaned the yard more than once or twice.
This too was surprising. In my family, my father was always busy with work and even took time to sleep to devote himself to training. You cleaned the office, but I was very embarrassed to see you cleaning the yard.
The father wiped his eyes and the son wandered around with a confused look on his face for a while.
“I…”
“Hmm?”
Yeon Ji-pyeong asked in an awkward voice.
“Your father also had accomplishments, right?”
Yeon Wei’s eyes became brighter.
He said without turning around.
“Would you like to know?”
“Yeah. I don’t know exactly, but I feel like my prayers are much more organized. “It feels like the energy has been well stored.”
Yeonwi was inwardly surprised by her son’s insight.
No matter how much Yeon Ji-pyeong grew, it was only an outstanding achievement compared to her age and nothing compared to herself or her older child.
However, it was not usually a great task to jump over that huge gap and sensefully capture the progress of the expert. Would a person who has just entered the entrance of the mountain be able to see the person who climbed Palbu Ridge?
My son saw it. Rather, considering the current level of Yeonwi, it was normal for Ha Ha to be mistaken in thinking that his martial arts skills had weakened.
“What a wonderful feeling.”
“yes? “Oh no.”
“I just need to fix that part of you.”
“…yes?”
Yeonwi said in a calm voice.
“You don’t yet know the true nature of your talent. “Being able to see exactly what you have and what is possible is more important than trying.”
“….”
“You need to be able to distinguish between what you can do and what you cannot do, so you can decide whether to enhance your strengths or erase your weaknesses.”
Wow!
After completely removing the snow with the last brushing, Yeonwi placed the broom on one wall.
“It just worked out well. Looking at your skills now, it seems like you have entered a transitional period. “Let’s stay together and break your own limitations.”
Yeon Ji-pyeong hastily lowered his head.
“Thank you, father.”
Yeonwi shook his head.
“It is natural for a father to teach his son. “It’s not something that deserves gratitude.”
“…yes.”
“The food at Maeng’s restaurant is quite good. “Let’s go and eat.”
“yes!”
Yeon Ji-pyeong, who hurriedly came to Yeon Wi’s side, hesitated for a moment.
“But what about your father and older brother…?”
“You mean your brother?”
Yeonwi chuckled.
“I’ve been walking around since early in the morning until my feet are sweating. “With Via.”
* * *
“Thank you for your hard work. “This is the end of morning training.”
At Yeonhojeong’s energetic shout, all members of the Mortal Army fell to their seats and made groaning noises.
“Gasp.”
“It’s going to be awesome, really.”
“My joints are sore. My joints are sore.”
“That guy, he said he’s been torn apart for the first time in a while, so how is his stamina so good?”
As they spoke, the breathing of all soldiers quickly became stable.
Yeonhojeong and Mukbi were not the only ones improving day by day. All members of the Mortal Death Army were practicing intensely every hour.
Since each person’s talent and effort are different, the speed of development is also different, but at least none of them were lazy. That’s why such extreme physical training can also follow.
Yeon Ho-jeong looked at Mukbi.
“Are you okay?”
Mukbi shrugged his shoulders.
“This is no problem.”
“good.”
“why? “Do you want more training?”
“no? “You tell me to do it.”
Mukbi tilted his head.
“What’s going on?”
“Just because of this or that.”
“You’re passing it off again in a shady way.”
“Huh, aren’t you talking too rudely to your superiors?”
“That’s it. “If you’re going to go, go quickly, boss.”
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
“How is your heart? “Are you taking good care of it?”
Mukbi nodded.
“yes. It certainly seems like the abilities of a Western Region Goddess are not average. In fact, I had no idea when I wasn’t paying attention.”
“It’s not for nothing that I listen to God’s words. “Just looking at the fact that all the members of the Central House are working together to bury her, you can see how talented she is.”
“Hoo.”
“why?”
Mukbi’s eyes sparkled.
“I guess you’re thinking of taking her in?”
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
“It’s not me who decides that. “It’s the Murim Alliance.”
“But the practitioner’s heart is also important. “Depending on what the practitioner sees and how he moves, my father and the soldier will have different opinions.”
It wasn’t wrong.
Looking at it that way, Yeonhojeong’s influence could certainly be said to be great. His influence as the hidden power of the Murim League is probably ten times greater than his reputation as a late Jisoo who talks about being the best in the world.
Yeon Ho-jeong waved his hand.
“I’ll come back after I finish my business. “Please take care of the kids in the meantime.”
“all right.”
Jegal A-yeon soon followed Yeon Ho-jeong, who left the training ground. She looked quite haggard as she approached, yawning lazily.
Yeon Ho-jeong frowned.
“You’re blinded.”
“…Shit.”
Zhuge Zhenyan hurriedly removed the gob from his eyes.
“hey! “It’s been a while since I last saw you, and the first thing I said was an eye roll!”
“Let’s say you’re wearing something, so let’s say two more little eyes are growing.”
“It’s still the same, you b*stard.”
“If you’re tired, sleep more.”
“Are not you tired!”
In fact, after removing the mucus from his eyes and shaking his neck a few times to tidy up his hair, he returned to his usual appearance without any sign of fatigue. It was an amazing technology.
“Did you have a good time?”
“yes.”
“I heard you got it right this time?”
“Did you hear everything?”
“I ran to Poro and harassed Hoogae. “Afterwards, he knew he was tired and blew softly.”
Well, given Zhuge Li’s personality, there was no way even his daughter could tell him about public affairs.
Zhuge Zhen’s face suddenly became serious.
“I heard artillery was mobilized?”
“If you’ve heard that far, you really know everything.”
“Artillery is one of the military’s decisive weapons. “Even with decent connections, it’s hard to dare to touch him.”
“know.”
“How far has the government department of the organization called Uishinhoe dug into? If Meng’s side raises this issue with the imperial palace, the entire military regime will be overturned. In other words, it means that they gave up the artillery despite risking it, but at this level, the Uishinhoe…”
“They are very bad people.”
“…is that the end?”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“We’ll talk about that again later. “The Murim Alliance will move cautiously anyway, so it will be difficult to overthrow the government right now.”
Yeon Ho-jeong patted Jegal Je-yeon on the shoulder and turned around.
She shouted as she quietly looked at Yeon Ho-jeong’s back.
“Let’s have dinner later when we have time!”
“I get it! Jipyeong is here too, so let’s all eat together.”
“100 million?! what? “Is Pyeong-i here?”
“I guess you didn’t hear that?”
“I didn’t hear you! When did you come? “Has Jipyeong grown a lot?”
“It was so big. Anyway, see you later!”
“Uh huh.”
Just like that, Yeonhojeong disappeared from sight.
Zhuge Yan smiled broadly.
“Hoo, are you curious about how big this guy is? “My younger brother has become more of a b*stard, but Ji-pyeong won’t be like that, right?”
Surprisingly, the place Yeon Ho-jeong went to, skipping breakfast, was the Tang family’s residence.
“Interesting.”
The official’s voice was still sharp.
“I never thought you would come looking for me in the morning.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“how are you?”
The official frowned.
“What?”
“What do you mean?”
“Everyone knows that your rudeness has gone too far. “Don’t think that if you come here now and be polite, I will look at you differently.”
“I don’t even want that.”
“What’s the point? “Is there something you want from me?”
“of course. “Why would you come to such a gloomy place when you have nothing to wish for?”
Crumbling. Crumbling.
A bloody energy wave rose like smoke from Tang Gwan’s body.
As his relationship with Yeonwi and his daughter improved, he also became calmer than before. But that was of no use in front of Yeonhojeong.
Really, the more I came into contact with this damned b*stard, the more dizzy I became. I couldn’t understand the mental world of young people these days that my daughter was friendly with this guy.
“If you were planning on ruining my mood this morning, you totally succeeded.”
“I didn’t mean to do that.”
“Just state your business briefly and leave.”
A strange look appeared in Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes. Although I heard it from my father, I realized that the party’s view had definitely changed.
If so, it will be easier to talk about.
“I’ll tell you straight. “You asked me to arrange a meeting with the West Station priestess?”
“…But?”
“Then please do me a favor.”
The official smiled coldly.
“If something goes, there must also come something?”
“Isn’t that the way of the world?”
“I like it because it’s clear. In that respect, you’re better than your father.”
“Do you want to make a deal?”
“I will first listen to what you are asking for and then make a decision.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes sparkled.
“Please run as a candidate in the Murim Lord election.”
