Episode 804
Thousands of people (4)
Sarak. Sarah.
Yangcheon’s hand movements as he turned the pages were constant.
Although the content written in each chapter was different and the amount of letters was different, the speed was almost the same. Some people would think he was just overlooking it, but his eyes were full of quiet concentration.
Contrary to appearances, Yangcheon’s reading volume was considerable. In fact, he read far more books than anyone from a prestigious family, which was also due to his upbringing.
He entered the martial arts world based on his powerful martial arts skills and outstanding talent, but that alone was not enough to guarantee his survival.
I cheated and stabbed others in the back. He took what others should have and even killed innocent martial artists to gain stronger martial arts skills.
It was a life that survived like that.
However, although such actions could ensure survival, they could not become the best.
Yang Cheon read many books to escape his ignorance and climb to a higher level. He did everything he could to achieve his dream goal.
Some of those processes have now become habits, and when I don’t have much to do, I like to pick up any book and read.
And such a habit unexpectedly led to an increase in the level of martial arts. The knowledge and thoughts gained through physical experience and numerous books were of great help to Go Soo, who had reached the state of martial arts.
“Whoa.”
It takes between two and a half hours to read a book.
So, I have already read three books today.
“It’s public administration… I feel like I know it, but I don’t.”
Yang Chen closed the book and buried his back in the chair.
The true energy as wide and deep as the Supreme Armless Sea did not allow fatigue to his body. However, his spirit, which had experienced so many things recently, could not escape fatigue even with the endurance to compete for the best in the world.
“You can memorize the content, but the question is whether you can actually use it.”
Memorizing any knowledge is meaningless. It was valuable only when that diverse knowledge was applied and applied in the right place. Moreover, since administration is closely related to government, putting too much weight on one side often leads to fatal errors in the other side.
Yang Chen smiled bitterly.
“It’s true that without considering these things, I looked up at the sky to take over the world…”
Yang Cheon, who was shaking his head, said towards the gate of Daejeon.
“The guests will be arriving soon. “There’s no need to ask permission, so just do it right away.”
“yes.”
After a while.
Coogugung.
Yeon Ho-jeong and Kang Ryang appeared beyond the open door.
Yang Cheon, who was sitting in front of Datak instead of the Taesa, smiled and crossed his legs.
“One is a lovely disciple and successor, and the other is a sword with a gnashing ghost that wants to take my head.”
Yeon Ho-jeong took control.
“See you, Master.”
Yang Chen’s face trembled as if he was fed up.
“Forget the stupid etiquette. And what is such a formal punishment for the master? “If you want to say hello properly, don’t you have to bow at least?”
Yeon Ho-jeong just smiled.
That smile didn’t have the same sparkle as before. Yang Chen pretended not to know that.
“So, why did you come to see me at this time? Even with that deadly sword attached to it.”
“I just want to confirm one thing.”
“To whom? To me?”
“For both of you.”
Yang Chen chuckled.
“Why are you stopping so hard because you brought up some strange matter? “Tell me.”
At that moment, Yeon Ho-jeong did something that no one expected.
Suddenly!
A handful of long, lush hair was held in Yeon Ho-jeong’s hand.
Yang Chen’s face hardened. Kang Ryang, who was standing behind Yeonhojeong, was also surprised.
Yeon Ho-jeong cut her hair, which used to reach the middle of her back, so short that the back of her head was exposed. There was no hesitation in that action.
Yeon Ho-jeong tied her cut hair into a thick knot and placed it on the table.
Yang Cheon looked up at Yeon Ho-jeong and asked.
“What do you mean?”
“What is our relationship?”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s calm question carried a terrifying weight.
It is not a question that can be easily answered. Yang Chen instinctively knew it.
“I became a priest.”
“That won’t be the only relationship.”
“Of course. “You and I are like a teacher and a student, but it’s not the kind of relationship that the world usually thinks of.”
Yang Cheon seemed to understand why Yeon Ho Jeong dragged him to Gangryang and asked this question.
It wasn’t to take advantage of myself. A place like this was definitely needed to keep everything neatly organized.
‘You act really fast.’
Yangcheon thought that he needed to learn this aspect of Yeonhojeong again.
“We are just friends, but as you said, we will learn a lot from each other. “Whether it is martial arts, strategy, administration or anything else.”
“….”
“In that respect, the essence of our relationship can be said to be partners who strive together for a common goal. Well, it’s a bit different from what other people think of as a partnership.”
Yeon Ho-jeong still spoke in a calm and heavy voice.
“If you were the true teacher that people say you are, I would stop it even if not just your brother-in-law, but the entire family went on a rampage to kill you.”
“….”
“But we need each other. Public relationships are deeper than private relationships. “Even though we are closer than before, that doesn’t change.”
“yes.”
“That’s why I will never stop my brother-in-law when he sets out to kill you.”
Yang Cheon smiled bitterly.
“Can you kill me?”
“It will depend on this friend’s capabilities.”
“I don’t know when that will happen, but if that time comes, I will never stop it.”
“That’s right.”
Yangcheon, who was quietly looking at Yeonhojeong, tilted his head.
“It was an issue that needed to be addressed at least once, but if you think about it another way, there was no need to create an event like this.”
“What do you mean?”
“Isn’t that obvious?”
It was Kang Ryang, not Yeon Ho-jeong, who was surprised by Yang Cheon’s words.
Yang Cheon looked at Kang Ryang with laughable eyes.
“I recognize your talent. “I judge calmly and think you have the potential to rise to the level of a martial god in the future.”
“….”
“But what are you asking me to do?”
Yang Chen’s eyes gradually became colder. The smile was the same, but his eyes were very cruel.
“You sharpen your sword to take revenge? As a martial artist, this is a natural act. If you have the ability, you will cut off your enemy’s head by any means possible? “It is a natural act for a black person.”
“….”
“Who do we have to ask for permission to do something so obvious?”
Kangryang opened his mouth without realizing it.
“But…”
“Are you curious as to why such an impure molecule was kept alive until now? “You must have said that before?”
“…!”
“If you don’t remember, it doesn’t matter. Right now I don’t want to kill you. “That’s it.”
“….”
“But it would be better to always live with determination. “You never know when my eyes will turn and I’ll send an assassin to you, who is in the midst of training.”
Kang Ryang’s face hardened.
Yang Chen shrugged his shoulders.
“Isn’t that also natural? Did you really think I would just keep waiting? No. I might suddenly get so annoyed that I might kill you. “That day is just not today.”
“…okay.”
“The only difference between you and me is that when you try to kill me, you ungrateful disciple will not stop you, but when I try to kill you, he will do whatever it takes to stop me.”
Kang Ryang looked at Yeon Ho-jeong without realizing it. His back didn’t move at all.
“But I’m not the least bit angry or disappointed about that fact. Do you know why?”
“…?”
“Because I believe in my own strength.”
“…!”
Kangryang’s trembling eyes.
Yang Chen’s eyes were as cold and hard as ice.
“This student taught me a lot. Thanks to you, I have come out of delusion many times. But it never stopped me from pulling out my sword. Because you can’t stop me.”
“…!!”
“It’s not just this guy. No one in the world can stop me, not even Gwonsin or Geomseon. “If I truly decide to do this, who in the world would want to stop me?”
Yang Chen smiled strangely.
“Even if they have the power to stop me, the only thing they can take from me is my life. But in the first place, the will to achieve my goal even if it means throwing away my life is mine, so I am throwing that life away, not for them to take it.”
“….”
“If you have a sincere purpose that you will sacrifice your body and soul to achieve, and if that is your life!”
“….”
“No one in the world can stop me. “Even if I die, I will die after I kill you.”
“….”
“Of course, all the results are my will.”
These are words that reveal tremendous will and self-esteem.
Yang Cheon turned his gaze to Yeon Ho Jeong.
“What is this hair?”
“My short hair has grown to this point. “In the meantime, a big change has occurred in the relationship between you and me.”
“so?”
“Shouldn’t we always look back and cut off the regrets as big as that hair?”
“That’s funny.”
Grumble!
The flames emitted from Yang Cheon’s hand burned Yeon Ho Jeong’s cut hair.
“They say that as the relationship deepens, romance arises that wasn’t there before?”
“okay.”
“It may be impossible, but you and I are two lines that will never connect, no matter how close we get. “We just move closer together toward the same goal.”
hook!
The hair disappeared into ashes with a short burst of smoke.
Yangcheon shook off the ashes that had accumulated on the data table and Yeonhojeong looked back at Kangryang.
“That guy added unnecessary words. But our relationship is like this.”
“older brother.”
“I won’t, but there is absolutely no reason to throw away a good opportunity because of me.”
“….”
“You gave me a lot. “Never think about me when you see what you have to gain.”
Kang Ryang’s face showed a look of upheaval.
Yang Chen’s sarcastic voice came from behind.
“You’re so good at saying things like that in front of people. “Don’t forget that this is Daejeon, Mukryongbuju.”
Yeon Ho-jeong slightly bowed his head to Kang Ryang.
“I’m sorry for causing you trouble.”
“no. “Don’t say that.”
“Go first. I have something to talk with Master. “Let’s make sure to drink alcohol tomorrow.”
“…older brother.”
Kang-ryang shook his head.
“I put a lot of pressure on you. “I’ll buy you alcohol tomorrow.”
So Kang Ryang left Daejeon.
Yeon Ho-jeong looked up at the ceiling and sighed.
At that time, Yang Cheon’s voice was heard.
“Are you starting to realize how much you have to give up on the path you have chosen?”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled bitterly.
“It was the same for Master.”
“That’s why I say it. “I hope you realize at least a little bit how complicated my feelings have been, you damn disciple.”
“We will find out more in the future.”
Yang Cheon smiled and stood up.
“let’s go.”
“yes?”
“why? Is there anything else you want to say?”
“…I have a lot to talk about.”
“If it’s too much, put it off until later. “Because my business comes first.”
“Where are you going?”
“You’ll know when you go.”
“All right.”
“But is that true?”
“yes?”
“I’m not going to stop that guy when he tries to kill me.”
“You agreed to do that, right?”
“…You are such a cold-hearted person.”
