Episode 1439. Yeah, remember that. (4)
“Uh… hmm.”
There was deep embarrassment on Lee Song-baek’s face. Seeing him like that, Cheongmyeong burst into laughter.
“Hahaha! What are you doing with such a straight face? Of course it’s a joke, a joke!”
At that moment, everyone had expectations in their eyes once again. I don’t know if that guy betrayed my expectations once or twice… but maybe?
“So… the name is… “Is this… a hundred?”
“⋯⋯This is Lee Song-baek.”
“Hahaha! Just kidding. joke! Of course I remember! Lee Jong-baek!”
“It’s Lee Song-baek.”
Cheongmyeong patted Song Baek’s back as if to tell him not to worry about such trivial things. Everyone who saw that scene lowered their heads again.
I felt like I wanted to hide if there was even a mouse hole.
Yunjong looked at Lee Song-baek with pitiful eyes. Of course, it’s like that, but there’s no way Cheongmyeong really forgot Song Baek. That guy is a guy who remembers things like a ghost, even if he forgets everything in the world.
‘I guess I just can’t remember the name exactly.’
There is a Jingeumryong, Jineunryong, and Jindongryong rolling around nearby, so how can a name like Songbaek Lee stick in your head?
This is Jin’s family rather than Cheongmyeong… No, it’s Jinchobaek’s fault.
“⋯⋯You look okay. Fortunately, the.”
“huh?”
“Because the wound is so deep.”
Lee Song-baek glanced at Cheongmyeong’s body patting his back. It’s to the point where nowhere is sound. I felt immature for thinking that I would casually say hello to someone like this.
But Cheongmyeong spoke with a calm face.
“Well… don’t worry. “Because it’s a common thing.”
“⋯⋯Is it common?”
“Oh, it’s common.”
Lee Song-baek quietly looked at Cheongmyeong. Lee Song-baek looked at the face with a strange smile and then nodded heavily.
“I know what you mean.”
“huh?”
“In the past, it would have been unthinkable for a group of Sapas to invade this place. But now we live in a world where that happens. “Soon, we will live in a world where it is natural for unmanned personnel to get injured.”
“uh?”
“…Are you saying that we have to endure a world like that?”
Cheongmyeong slowly took a step back from Lee Songbaek. Song Baek said seriously.
“Don’t worry seal. “If I hadn’t had that level of determination, I wouldn’t have released the seal and come out.”
“You never worried? Why are you worried about Jongnam being pretty? “I hope it all disappears during the war.”
It was a word that went beyond a curse and was close to a curse. But rather than getting angry, Lee Song-baek chuckled and laughed. Seeing that reaction, Cheongmyeong quickly turned to Baekcheon like a scared puppy.
“Sasook. “Why is that guy like that?”
“⋯⋯.”
“Please bring Sasuk’s brother. “I can communicate with him better.”
“⋯⋯I don’t like that.”
Cheongmyeong is a pain and Jingeumryong is also a pain, but they are together? Just thinking about it makes my stomach hurt.
“You’re just making up your mind, so there’s nothing that seems so strange, right?”
“If that’s what you put your mind to, who’s going to suffer?”
“Yes, but…”
Baek-cheon glanced at Lee Song-baek and opened his mouth again.
“I don’t think it’s confidence without measures.”
Cheongmyeong closed his mouth for a moment. Even Cheongmyeong, who could swear at Jongnam for three days and nights without a break, could not stand aside from these words.
“⋯⋯It seems like the effect of the seal is good.”
“There is a difference between the gate and the closed gate. “The private residence closed before the Hwajong branch, and nothing has improved.”
“Why bring up that story now! And how do you know if it worked or not? “He wasn’t in the volcano before.”
“If it was effective and it was that skill, wouldn’t it be a bigger deal?”
“⋯⋯You damn bastard.”
Cheongmyeong chuckled as Baekcheon was frustrated with a sad face. But at the same time, his eyes were scanning the transport bag.
‘Definitely…’
I felt a strong airway from Lee Song-baek.
If you can become stronger by doing a little bit of Fengmun, then among the many sects in the world, what sect would refuse to do Fengmun? Even if you lock the door, how much stronger you become inside it depends entirely on your own efforts.
And now Lee Song-baek is proving through his prayers that he did not spend the past time in vain.
“That… “Umm.”
At that time, Lee Song-baek stopped trying to say something and sighed.
“I’m kind of embarrassed.”
“huh?”
“Actually, I wanted to brag a little bit. “I trained really hard.”
There is no need to say that in words. Even if you can’t feel that prayer, you can guess the effort just by looking at the hands covered in scars.
“But… seeing volcano people like this, I don’t think this is anything to brag about. “I thought it would have narrowed the gap a little.”
Song Baek laughed bitterly. This is not just about Cheongmyeong. Even Baekcheon, who wondered if he could stand properly due to his injury, felt a sharpness that was difficult to match. It makes me wonder if this person would have been able to stand face to face like this if he were in a normal state.
‘Besides, it’s not just this person.’
Jo Geol, who looks at him with strangely dissatisfied eyes, and Yoon Jong, who is trying to stop him from behind, are also formidable.
‘I was definitely ahead of them until the Jonghwa branch and the secret martial arts competition.’
I thought Jongnam had pushed himself to the point of being harsh during his visit, but instead of catching up, he felt like he was being overtaken.
It felt like the confidence that had swelled while blocking the enemy’s single sword attack was instantly restored to its original state.
At that time, Cheongmyeong spoke in a sullen voice.
“Tsk. Anyway, the sons of Jongnam are unlucky.”
“yes?”
“how is it?”
Cheongmyeong asked bluntly.
“Did you find your sword?”
Song Baek’s eyes sank slightly at that question. After a brief pause, he opened his mouth in a small but firm voice.
“I’m embarrassed to say it’s my sword, but I think I know what kind of sword I should make.”
“Hoo.”
“And… don’t be so relieved, Cheongmyeong seal. “I am not the only one who found his own path in Jongnam.”
At those words, Cheongmyeong looked at the people standing behind Lee Songbaek. It was definitely still clumsy, but there were still people who showed prayers similar to Lee Song-baek’s.
No, to be exact… it is not Lee Song-baek’s prayer, but it is similar to the prayer of Jong-nam, whom he used to know. The corners of Cheongmyeong’s mouth twitched slightly.
“Is this something to celebrate?”
“It’s all thanks to the dojo…”
“Well, it’s just like we’re back to square one. “Jongnam couldn’t defeat Hwasan in the past, so what’s any different now?”
“what?”
“That guy?”
Jongnam’s inspectors who were listening behind him became furious and glared at Cheongmyeong. However, Cheongmyeong only grinned after receiving that look.
“why? “Would you like to have a fight?”
“Ugh…”
Jongnam’s inspectors gritted their teeth but could not bear to step forward.
Because now you can see it. The depth of clarity that I didn’t know was right in front of me when I was lacking. A power that cannot yet be fathomed by their skills.
“Yes, it is a volcano…”
“done.”
At that moment, Jingeumryong lightly raised his hand and silenced the priests who were about to speak evil words.
“Nothing will change by talking about it. From now on, we just have to prove to each other whether Hwaseong or Jongnam is the best.”
“Yes, death penalty.”
Baekcheon looked at Jingeumryong with slightly surprised eyes.
Was that person capable of interceding in that way? It seemed like it wasn’t just them or Lee Song-man that had changed during the visit.
“It would be an honor for the volcano. “Because we dared to acknowledge them as enemies.”
⋯⋯If possible, it would be good if that Jo club changed a little bit⋯⋯.
“That bastard speaks the same way as Sa-sook because I think they’re brothers.”
“No!”
“I guess you can’t fool blood.”
“I said no!”
It was that time when Cheongmyeong was laughing while looking at Baekcheon who was upset and scared.
“Can’t you be quiet?”
“These guys!”
Jongligok and Hyeonjong shouted almost at the same time. The disciples of the two sects, Hwasan and Jongnam, flinched and lowered their gaze to the ground.
Although the remaining Tang people were saved, the Tang family made a great sacrifice. In such a situation, raising one’s voice immaturely could hardly have seemed good. Zhong Ligoo clicked his tongue slightly with a disapproving expression. And he slightly bowed his head towards Tanggunak.
“It seems like the children are having a hard time controlling themselves as they come out of their gates for the first time in a while. “I failed to teach you properly, so please blame me, matriarch.”
“Don’t worry about it. “How did you find out about the situation here?”
“I brought you news from the opening.”
“Ah… So, has Jongnam completely solved the problem?”
“That’s right.”
Zhongligok nodded.
“It is still difficult to boast that we have properly regained the path of Jongnam, so we wanted to continue the family tradition for a few more years, but the situation is such that we cannot just close the door.”
He paused for a moment and then spoke firmly.
“Anyway, I plan to help calm down the chaotic powerhouse.”
“Hmm.”
Hyeonjong nodded with a heavy expression.
Although he has a difficult relationship with Hwasan, there is no one who can deny Jongnam’s strength. Didn’t they do it not because they were lacking, but because they wanted to become stronger? If Jongnam like that joins the front line, it will be a great help to the current situation.
“Then are you going back to Shaanxi now?”
“It will be so. What do you plan to do with the party?”
“We…”
Tanggunak glanced back. The party’s gasols were still picking up the wounded.
“I can’t go back to Sacheon, so now I have to find a place to stay.”
“If there is anything we can help with, please let us know.”
Zhongligok nodded and was about to give a light sweep.
“Jangmun-in.”
Hyeonjong’s call was heard. Zhongligok looked back at Xuanzong without answering.
“Is there something you want to say, Taesangjangmunin?”
“I know this is a sudden comment, but at the risk of being rude, I would like to ask you a favor.”
“Please…”
Zhongligok nodded as if to give it a try.
“Please speak.”
“Please lend me your strength… Jongnam.”
A strange light spread across Zhongligok’s face.
“Although the Ten Thousand Tens retreated for a while, they were not the only ones who invaded Sichuan. Now other Sapas are flocking to Jeomchang. “If Jongnam gives his strength, we can help them…”
“Please stop. “Taesang Jangmunin.”
Zongligok’s voice like a sword cut Hyeonjong off guard. A look of embarrassment flashed across Hyeonjong’s face.
“Jang Moon-in. Currently, Jeomchang…”
“There is no need for Jongnam to go to Jeomchang.”
It was a truly cold tone. Hyeonjong flinched without realizing it.
“I thought he had changed a lot, but it seems that Taesangjangmunin is still the same as before.”
“⋯⋯Yes?”
Zhongligok’s sharp eyes pierced Xuanzong.
“Do your best to act like a good person in moderation, Taesangjangmunin. And please be moderate in taking care of your own interests at the cost of other people’s blood.”
“⋯⋯.”
“It would be a good idea to pretend to be a big person in moderation. “Since when on earth did Jongnam and Hwasan exchange favors with each other?”
Hyeonjong’s shoulders trembled.
But Jongligok looked at him again with a mocking look.
“If you wanted to save Jeomchang so much, why didn’t you go there in the first place? “When you have to choose, it’s just hypocrisy to choose the one you are close to and then pretend to feel sorry for it after it has already passed.”
Hyeonjong closed his eyes tightly. However, rather than feeling sorry for him, Zongligok only sneered at him.
“Oh, I don’t know. “It seems that there are some people who were impressed by Taesang Jangmunin’s kindness…”
After catching a glimpse of the Tang family, Zhongligok’s eyes immediately fell on Cheongmyeong.
“Jongnam will never do that. Never again.”
For a moment, Qingming and Zhong Ligu’s gazes were roughly intertwined in the air.
