Episode 845 There are limits to screwing people up! (5)
Seueuugh.
A pure white cloth passes over the sword.
Sigh.
Baekcheon’s eyes were seriously sunken.
Something you do habitually once a day. However, his posture was just as serious as the moment he first cleaned his sword.
Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
The sword face illuminated my face like a longing. Baekcheon looked at his own face reflected in the sword and began to clean the sword again in silence.
How much time has passed?
“Whoa.”
After confirming that it was clean, he put the sword into its sheath.
widely.
He carefully set down the sword he had finished repairing and looked towards the door.
“Why are you doing this?”
“…When did you find out?”
“It’s even weirder if you make a sign like that and you don’t know.”
“Then tell them to come in!”
Baekcheon chuckled when he saw Cheongmyeong opening the door and coming in with a grunt.
“Since when did you have to be told to come in before you came in? “Even if it’s completely locked, this guy breaks through the door and comes in.”
That’s not true. Cheongmyeong grinned and sauntered into the room and casually sat down in the middle. A faint smile appeared on Baekcheon’s lips.
“….”
“….”
A moment of silence passed. Cheongmyeong narrowed his eyes and looked at Baekcheon.
“Aren’t you asking?”
“what?”
“Why did you come?”
“I guess you came here for a reason.”
“No…”
“So I’m waiting. “What are you going to say?”
Cheongmyeong pouted and spoke bluntly, as if he didn’t like it at all.
“You talk as if you knew I was coming.”
“that’s right.”
“huh?”
Cheongmyeong’s head rises sharply. Baekcheon answered calmly while receiving questioning looks.
“I didn’t expect you to come to my room, but I thought you would say something soon. “Something quite important.”
“…why?”
“Why?”
Baekcheon’s reaction was rather absurd.
“Because you weren’t the same as usual.”
“What does that mean?”
“You really don’t know?”
“huh. “I think I was the same as usual.”
Baekcheon sighed and placed one hand on his forehead.
Cheongmyeong flinched and resisted Baekcheon’s extremely pitiful gaze.
“Why why! “What!”
“Cheongmyeong.”
“why!”
“What did you do after you came back from the fight with Jang Il-so?”
“What did you do? Of course…”
Cheongmyeong was unable to finish his sentence and slowly closed his mouth.
‘I know. ‘What did I do?’
I tilted my head slightly and looked back on the past few days.
I was constantly doing something, but when I think about it again, I feel like I didn’t do anything in particular. As Baekcheon asked this question, I was at a loss for an answer.
Baekcheon, who was looking at Cheongmyeong who was seriously thinking, smiled and said.
“The Tang family was the main force in the maintenance of Maehwa Island, and Nokrim was responsible for building the wharf and setting up the merchant ship system. Hwasan’s disciples stabilized the surrounding area and provided relief.”
“…yes?”
“If it were normal, I would have been talking back and forth and trying to give instructions while building the palace, and then I would have run to the dock and kicked the bandits. And he must have gone on a rampage before anyone else, threatening to kill all the Sapa bastards.”
“….”
“A guy who was so strong was stuck on a stuffy island and was just playing around with immortals. Would you have thought it was normal?”
A laugh came out of Cheongmyeong’s mouth.
“You’re just saying that’s what Sasuk thought?”
“Is it just me? Everyone must be feeling like they are holding a bomb in their hands right now. “If you don’t know that your condition is not normal, you are not a disciple of Huashan.”
“….”
Cheongmyeong’s face changed several times in a short period of time. Cheongmyeong, who was moving his lips as if he was going to say something, eventually sighed deeply.
“…But why didn’t you say anything?”
Baekcheon shrugged his shoulders.
“Because you don’t have to.”
“….”
“Anyway, you are not the type of person who listens to others, nor are you the kind of person who complains alone and leaves it to fester. “I thought that when the right moment came, he would end his worries and say something.”
Baekcheon’s eyes turn to Cheongmyeong.
“Yeah, like now.”
“….”
“So tell me. “What’s the problem?”
The look in his eyes was so serious that Cheongmyeong rolled his eyes awkwardly and eventually made eye contact. A sigh escaped from my mouth.
“No….”
“Yes.”
“No, that…”
“Yes.”
“No, that’s… I mean…”
“…What you bastard! what! “No, what on earth!”
“Oh, why are you screaming!”
Cheongmyeong screamed and scratched his head.
“…It’s not because there’s some problem.”
“huh?”
“To be precise, I don’t know what the problem is either. “I now know from Sasuk that I have been confined to my room for a long time.”
“….”
“Oh no, I’m like, ‘Why are there all these idiots?’ “Don’t look at it with those eyes.”
“…Have you mastered mind-reading during this time?”
“Okay.”
Cheongmyeong opened his mouth with a complex expression that was difficult to describe.
“After listening to Sa-suk, I know that my judgment was somehow distorted, but I also have no idea why I did that…”
“I don’t know?”
“huh.”
“I understand.”
“huh? really?”
Cheongmyeong looks at Baekcheon with surprised eyes. How can Baekcheon know something that even he doesn’t know?
“Well, it’s obvious. “You are always thoughtless, simple, obvious, stupid, and more than you can imagine…”
“That’s it.”
You bastard.
Baekcheon laughed as Cheongmyeong’s eyes turned white.
“You’re just that kind of guy. “If there’s something that needs to be done urgently right now, he’s the one who doesn’t see anything else.”
“….”
“Maintaining Maehwa Island, breaking through trade routes, making money, increasing influence, kicking the old faction’s ass and taking over the places they occupied….” Baekcheon stopped reciting one after another
. I glanced at Cheongmyeong.
“Yeah, that’s all important. But…”
And he said with a grin.
“Maybe that’s not the most important thing. At least Cheongmyeong is for you.”
“….”
“Cheongmyeong.”
“huh?”
“Do what you want to do.”
Cheongmyeong was quiet for a moment, as if he had lost his voice. Baekcheon continued.
“Do what you think you should do. “Don’t do it because you have to.”
“No, Sasuk, I….”
“You don’t think you can handle Sapaeryeon and Maninbang like this, right?”
“…What are you talking about?”
Cheongmyeong looked at Baekcheon a little awkwardly and said.
“The influence grows and the bond between Cheonwoo-maeng becomes stronger…”
“I know you.”
But Baekcheon resolutely cut him off.
“He doesn’t know how to use other people to solve problems. “If there’s a problem, you have to attack it and destroy it to get rid of it.”
“….”
“To you, those things are just incidentals. is not it? What’s important to you is…”
Baekcheon says, looking straight at Cheongmyeong.
“Can Volcano beat Sapaeryeon?”
“….”
“Can a volcano fight against all nations?”
Qingming closed his mouth and looked at Baekcheon.
“That’s it?”
“….”
Baekcheon grinned at Cheongmyeong’s blank expression.
“Sometimes the person watching from the sidelines understands the situation more clearly than you do. “It seems to me that this is the case.”
“….”
“I got to the point. What needs to be done is clear. But this cannot be done. Then… even if it were me, I would have acted like you.”
Baekcheon looked at Cheongmyeong with a serious face and nodded slightly.
“So I have only one thing to say.”
“…What?”
“You are a horrible person who is greedy, stupid, and has a bad personality.”
“No, but this bird…”
“But what’s worse than that is that you can’t trust others.”
“….”
“You have already done enough. Even if you don’t touch it one by one, what you’ve created will go with the flow. So, give up the desire to take control of everything. “What is the easiest way to solve the problem when there are a lot of enemies?”
Cheongmyeong’s lips are licking.
This is what he said countless times to Baekcheon.
“Your head…”
After a while, a moan-like voice came out of my mouth.
“…I’m going to catch it.”
Baekcheon smiled happily.
“Yes, I know very well.”
This doesn’t just mean dealing with the boss. This means that you should take care of the most important things first.
Both Cheongmyeong and Baekcheon know its meaning.
“It’s not like the Cheongmyeong I know to be swayed here and there. You like simple things best. “Leave everything else to others to do and you do the best you can think of.”
“….”
“Taking responsibility doesn’t mean shouldering everything. “That is rather irresponsible.”
Cheongmyeong stared at Baekcheon in silence. Then Baekcheon smiled slightly and shrugged his shoulders.
“why? “Are you going to praise me now for being a private residence?”
“No, that’s not it…”
“Then what?”
Cheongmyeong, who had a complicated expression on his face, laughed.
“I thought there were times when Dongryong was like a human. “It seems like just yesterday that I was so poor and poor that I couldn’t even pay for my face and was doing penny-pinching things.”
“…this bastard?”
Cheongmyeong giggled and laughed.
“I know one thing.”
“what?”
“If a young bird follows a stork, its crotch will be torn.”
“Are you talking to me?”
“no. “You’re talking about me.”
Cheongmyeong laughed self-deprecatingly.
He wanted to be a hearing.
In his opinion, the most ideal long writer is Cheongmun. But deep down, I already knew.
He can never become a hearing person, and he is not a person worthy of becoming a long writer. Neither of the two can do Cheongmyeong.
‘I knew, but I forgot.’
I was definitely doing something unbecoming.
I haven’t heard anything particularly great. But I felt something clear before my eyes. It was as if the hazy fog covering the world was lifted all at once.
“Sasuk.”
“huh.”
“thank you.”
At that calm greeting, Baekcheon’s eyes became as big as a lantern.
“…Did you eat something wrong?”
“….”
“Maybe you hurt your head because you were beaten so hard by Jang Il-so… Should I call So-so?”
“….”
Cheongmyeong became sad. It was not because of the content of what Baekcheon said, but because of Baekcheon’s sincere eyes that clearly showed that what he said was not a joke.
Normally, Cheongmyeong would have stabbed his eyes out with his fingers, but he decided to hold back just for today.
“Anyway…”
Seeing Yu Iseol and Baek Cheon both acting like this, they must have behaved like idiots.
Cheongmyeong’s eyes became clearer and clearer.
“So you’re saying do what you have to do now?”
“okay.”
“The most important thing?”
“Is that so?”
“…Is that so?”
“….”
There was silence for a moment. Anxiety began to appear on Baekcheon’s face.
This is because an evil smile began to spread across Cheongmyeong’s lips. It was so clear that I felt reassured, but on the other hand, it was so clear that I felt uneasy.
“Sasuk is right. “I was stupid.”
“….”
“I’m getting mad thinking about it! It’s so obvious! “Since when did I care about this and that!”
“Oh no, wait a minute. Cheongmyeong. “Hey man.”
Baekcheon’s face began to turn white.
Something… I started to feel like things were working out differently than I thought. No, this wasn’t just a feeling, it was a conviction.
“Thanks to you, I feel refreshed! Wow, there are times when even Dongryong is useful! “Then talk to me later!”
Cheongmyeong stood up with a relieved face and turned around.
“No, you bastard! “I don’t know what to do now…”
Baekcheon hurriedly stretched out his hand, but Cheongmyeong had already kicked out the door.
The hand that was wandering in the air awkwardly grabbed the air a couple of times before falling.
“….”
I feel like I made a mistake?
At that time, Yoonjong and Jo Geol stuck their heads out through the wide open door. I don’t know since when, but they must have been listening from outside.
The two people looked alternately at Cheongmyeong running away and Baekcheon standing dumbfounded, then opened their mouths.
“Sasuk.”
“…huh?”
“What have you done?”
“….”
Guys….
I’m worried because I don’t know that either.
