“yes. “I think it’s okay for a young spirit to possess someone and give birth to her child.”
-!!!!!!!!
The young spirit frozen as ice did not know what to do.
As a vengeful spirit she remained in this world to satisfy her grudge but she was only a spirit body without even a physical body.
Therefore no matter what feelings she had she considered them all meaningless.
But her voice shook her with something completely unexpected.
-You…what are you doing…
She was so embarrassed that she couldn’t speak properly.
Mok Gyeong-un’s words were shocking in themselves.
Does this fellow really understand what he just said?
Are you really kidding yourself?
As the feeling of embarrassment gradually passes by I start to feel angry.
-Sentient being do you know what you are talking about?
“Why don’t you know that?”
-what?
“You said you wish you could have my child.”
-Let’s play with words with me now…..
“No pun intended.”
-If this isn’t a pun what is it? To say that it is okay for a dead ghost to have a child is an insult to the throne…
-widely!
It was before she even finished speaking.
Mo Kyung-un held her hand.
Unlike her other emanations even though he was not a high-level main force he was able to capture her vengeful spirit as if it were her entity so he was able to contact her directly.
-closely!
Watching her neck tighten as she clenched her own hand she was so embarrassed that she didn’t know what to do.
-What are you doing?
“What does that mean?”
-What?
“What does it have to do with being a dead vengeful spirit?”
-Who cares? I am a dead person and you the living being are alive…..
“What does living and dying have to do with what you like?”
-……
Cheongnyeong was immediately speechless at Mo Kyung-un’s words.
It was truly bizarre.
Since he was just a spirit body he had no heart and no blood flowing through him.
Nevertheless he could not look at the fellow possessed by the strange phenomenon of his face burning and his heart pounding as if his heart was racing.
‘Joe…I like you…’
Is this guy really playing with himself?
However the way Mok Kyung-un looked at her was completely different from her usual eyes.
Why does a guy who was so emotionless look at me with such warm eyes?
As I look into those eyes my heart becomes weak.
It shouldn’t be like this but it seems like the long years of viciously holding on due to one grudge will come crashing down.
Then Mokgyeongun said to Cheongnyeong.
“Do you hate me Cheongnyeong?”
At that one question Cheongnyeong’s heart was about to completely break.
She wasn’t stupid.
She was constantly aware of the signs she felt from him and her own weakening heart.
That’s why she hoped that this situation would not happen as much as possible.
But why does this guy want to make himself so weak?
Cheongnyeong’s hand holding her hand tried to gain strength.
-I…I…
At that moment an image of someone sobbing passed through Cheongnyeong’s mind.
-Park!
Cheongryeong hurriedly shook off Mo Kyung-un’s hand.
Then she bit her lip and spoke in a stern voice.
-Not the main seat.
“…..”
-This position exists only for revenge. Isn’t that the same for you too?
“…..plural.”
She turned her attention to the voice of Mok Gyeong-un who could sense her disappointment again.
I felt like my heart would weaken if I made eye contact with her.
Then Mok Gyeong-un continued speaking.
“I did. “It was all about revenge.”
‘That’s it?’
It is past tense.
What are you trying to say?
I don’t think I should listen to it.
I’m doing it
“I think it would be good to be with Cheongryeong after revenge.”
-ha…
Cheongnyeong’s eyes trembled.
I’m trying to firmly throw it away but sentient beings why are you trying to make yourself weak?
Since he is nothing more than a dead vengeful spirit he has no desire to connect with anyone anymore.
Her neck cultivator approached her and said.
“But what the young man said is correct.”
-what?
Are you trying to give up?
really?
The heart is truly treacherous.
I feel a bit regretful because I can sense a hint of giving up in his words.
Then Mok Gyeong-un said.
“I was only thinking about myself. Not only me but I also have to finish Youngryeong’s revenge. “Isn’t that right?”
-……
“If our revenge is completed will you be able to like me then?”
-……
Cheongryeong’s eyes which had been avoiding her gaze were suddenly focused on Mok Gyeong-un again.
Why?
I don’t know about anyone else but I thought that even if he were alive he would never be attracted to such an emotionless guy.
But you the sentient being…
It was right then.
-Pot!
Mo Qingyun suddenly stretched her hand upwards.
Then something flew out and landed in his hand.
It was none other than a bracelet.
-….What is that?
In response to Cheongnyeong’s question Mok Kyung-un said looking up at the cliff with her narrowed eyes.
“It looks like a piece of jewelry Yesongah always wears on her wrist.”
Yesongah.
She was the granddaughter of Lord Seonghwa.
Why did the bracelet she always wears suddenly fall off a cliff?
While he was puzzled Cheongryeong said to Mok Gyeong-un:
-I don’t know what’s going on but I guess I have to go up first.
“…I see. “But I don’t think you’ve responded to my answer yet.”
Cheongnyeong twitched her lips at this straight forward movement of the neck and seemed about to say something but then she clenched her fists and spoke.
-If revenge is over consider it.
“consideration?”
-okay!
“Are emotions something that can be considered?”
-joy! Don’t pick on each one! There is no change in our thoughts.
“iced coffee. Is that so?”
Mok Gyeong-un shrugged his shoulders and chuckled.
In the end Goryeo was all about giving room so the possibility was not out of the question.
So this is enough for now.
* * *
Only half an hour ago.
There was a young man and woman with their backs to a broken cliff.
They were Gu Yeon-woo the third son of Gu Cheonmu Jangju of Yeonggeomsanjang and Yesongah the granddaughter of Seonghwaryeongju.
These two people were surrounded by Yeonggeom Lodge inspectors and the guests of Yeonggeom Lodge and Jeong Myeong Sae of the Hangsan faction investigators of the Justice Alliance and Mo Yong Hak the eldest son of the Mo Yong family were watching.
How did this happen?
This was because Gu Woongseong the second son of Gu Jangju exposed Yesongah as a member of Baehwagyo.
[Give me that item. It belongs to this Soger.]
Gu Woong-seong who realized her identity from the words of the owner Gu Woong-hwang took control of the situation as soon as he came to his senses.
[Jangju! And do you really not know? Not only that unknown thief but also the master of Baehwagyo brought in by that woman went out of her way to steal the glowing orb that was taken from that guy Yeonwoo!]
Koo Woong-seong’s words were enough to sway the public opinion of the left.
As the perception of Baehwagyo was already not very good even among the martial arts people public opinion began to believe that the cause of this incident originated from Yesongah and Gu Yeonwoo.
“that’s right. “It makes sense.”
“If they hadn’t come this situation wouldn’t have happened.”
“How many people died?”
“They’re like damn Chinese Christians.”
“fizzle. “But he is still the son of the former chieftain.”
“It’s because of my son his sleep and those things!”
The identity of the Baehwa Christians and Gu Woongseong’s instigation were putting them in limbo.
Of course not everyone was pushing them.
After learning about his younger brother Gu Yeon-woo’s true intentions owner Gu Woong-hwang stepped forward and tried to calm the situation.
“The inspectors at the headquarters as well as the guests please calm down for now. It would be too hasty to conclude that this is what happened because of these people. There are also investigators from the Justice Alliance so even if they make a decision after a thorough investigation…”
“What do you mean calm down? This is true what Confucius Gu Woong-seong said! “If it weren’t for your chief’s third son and that woman who went to Baehwagyo this wouldn’t have happened!”
“That’s right! “If it weren’t for them there would have been no tragedy at the Namgung family or here. What on earth are you talking about Sojangju?”
However it was not enough to appease the already angry crowd.
They were convinced that everything was caused by Gu Yeon-woo and Yesong-ah members of the Baehwa Church and believed that they had to pay the price.
Was this the same thought of Jeongjeongmaeng’s Mo Yonghak?
“situation. We will arrest them first. “Those who fell down the cliff died at the hands of Zhuang Zhou so send Meng’s warriors to collect their bodies and transport them away.”
“Amitabha Buddha. Mo Yong please watch for a moment.”
“Watching? Anyone can see this…”
“The city council’s opinion makes sense but it is being too driven by propaganda.”
“situation…”
Mo Yong-hak sighed as if he was frustrated at the words about the Jeongmyeong incident.
Since he was sent as an investigator he has to come to a conclusion one way or another.
However luckily the real culprit like a monster who was difficult to subdue ended up being in league with the master of Baehwagyo and there are many people who are identified as the culprits.
Why do we want to watch this when all we have to do is transport it?
At that time someone among the guests came forward and opened his mouth.
“What are you going to do about the culprit here and now?”
Among the guests he was the one who stayed here in Geogok for the longest time.
When Ji-oe came forward the audience responded that they could not understand.
“no. Jioe senior! “Senior Gogo has passed away. Are you saying things like that now?”
“you’re right. “It is a clear fact that they brought about this situation so how can you not investigate the cause?”
“If you are not going to ignore the deaths of your seniors and juniors then please leave.”
Most of the guests at Geogok were close friends.
Meanwhile as more than half of them were tragically sacrificed their anger showed no signs of abating easily.
However Jie Oe was also a person with a temper that was even worse than these.
“conflict!”
When the outsider shouted out this in a voice full of courage the people who were making noise all fell silent.
After it became quiet to some extent Jieu opened his mouth again.
“We are inspectors and unmanned. Although I was angry about the deaths of Gogo and others it was because our martial arts and sword skills were no match for that damn thief. But what on earth are these people who ignore that and say that those young people are the culprits?”
“It’s not a matter of sentiment. senior.”
“They are Baekhwa Christians…..”
“That damn Baehwagyo! Baehwagyo! Are you going to kill anyone you see if they are an apostolic Christian? The reason why Mu-in died was because he was not strong enough to fight against the might of the jungle. “Why can’t you see essences?”
Some people looked embarrassed at the criticism from others.
This is because they had strong pride as warriors.
However there was someone who encouraged this atmosphere to not calm down.
“Senior Jioe. “If it weren’t for those apostate Christians those thieves wouldn’t have appeared this terrible tragedy wouldn’t have happened and my arm wouldn’t have been cut off. Are you really trying to protect them?”
He was Gu Woong-seong the second son of Zhuang Zhou.
At his words the guests and warriors once again became agitated.
“Second what Confucius said is correct. “Why are you trying to protect them?”
“under! You are truly heartless. Is Gogo senior’s death because he was weak? Are you saying that it is okay for all the weak to die unjustly?”
“What what?”
Jioe was dumbfounded by their reaction.
There is a causal relationship in everything so if there is a situation that needs to be investigated it should be investigated but now their anger was being incited by the greedy tongue of that lord’s second son.
Things became more and more complicated with people wondering whose fault it was and whatnot.
“Please calm down!”
The owner Gu Woong-hwang tried to calm them down but it was no use.
Seeing him like this the second child Gu Woong-seong laughed to himself.
Isn’t this truly a blessing in disguise?
He came to his senses only after his arm was cut off. At first he was distressed but later he saw this as an opportunity.
Even so I don’t know why my brother suddenly tried to help them but what would happen if they used this as an excuse to accuse him of trying to help Baehwa Christians?
If done well it seemed like he could even have his position as owner taken away.
‘It all depends on your father’s decision.’
Gu Xingcheng looked at Gu Tianmu the chieftain who was standing on the cliff and looking down.
Gu Tianmu the chieftain was looking down for a long time without taking his eyes off perhaps to see what had become of those two monsters.
‘How high is it up there and can you survive?’
Even if you were a seasoned expert the cliff here was extremely deep and because of the wind it was almost impossible to even climb down with a rope.
No matter how strong they were it was safe to say that they had little chance of survival.
At that time Zhang Zhou Guqianmu who was looking down at the cliff finally raised his head and turned.
“Whoa.”
When he took his eyes off the cliff and turned his body everyone’s eyes turned to him.
Soon Gu Tianmu the chieftain turned around and approached the place where Gu Yanwu and Yesongah were.
Then Gu Yeon-woo fell flat on the floor.
“Father no Jangju. This incident has absolutely nothing to do with us. No even if it exists Ye Soje here doesn’t have it.”
“Yeonwoo!”
Yesongah was taken aback by his words.
Gu Yeon-woo’s intentions were clear.
All he wanted to do was save her somehow.
Knowing his affection Major General Zhou Guunghwang also knelt down on one knee and clasped his hands in a respectful manner.
“Jangju. Soja will investigate this situation. So first of all…”
“iced coffee! My brother said that. You want me to return that bead since it belongs to Sojeo? “Brother what connection do you have with that Bae Hwa-gyo girl that you were trying to help?”
Before he could finish his sentence Gu Woongseong loudly interrupted.
‘you?’
The owner Gu Woong-hwang was dumbfounded and glared at Gu Woong-seong.
I knew from the beginning that the second child was excessively greedy and jealous but I didn’t know that he would use this situation as an opportunity to bite Seung-nyang.
However there was no point in glaring at that guy now.
“Jangju! It’s a frame-up. “I feel like that kid is driving these kids and me out of frustration because he lost his arm…”
“stop.”
At that time Zhang Zhou Guqianmu finally opened his mouth.
At his words everyone including the owner Koo Woong-hwang fell silent.
The head of this place was Gu Cheonmu the chieftain and it was safe to say that all decisions rested with him.
Gu Cheonmu immediately looked at someone and said.
“Is Soje the owner of that shining bead?”
Her face immediately darkened at that question.
Given the situation I didn’t want to be fair but Jangju’s question itself wasn’t something that would create a very advantageous situation.
“That…”
“Just answer the questions asked. “Is Sojeo the owner of that marble?”
It was then.
Gu Yeon-woo jumped up from his seat and shouted.
“Father that’s my…..sigh.”
Gu Yeon-woo who tried to claim the orb as his could not continue his words.
This was because his mouth was forcibly closed by the profound true energy of the Gu Tianmu Zhuangzhu.
Seeing his father’s attitude like this the owner Gu Woong-hwang also had a hard look on his face.
Because so many people including the Namgung family and Geogok’s guests had died it seemed that my father did not want to ignore this incident.
‘Ahh. Yeonwoo. Yeonwoo.’
Major General Zhou Guunghwang bit his lip and apologized.
Even though he wanted to protect him he had no way to stop his father if he tried to hold him accountable.
At that time Zhou Gu Tianmu opened his mouth again.
“This is the last time I will ask you verbal questions. “Is Sojeo the owner of that marble?”
-Purrrrr!
The atmosphere was unusual.
It wasn’t like she was revealing her strength but at the weighty question Yesonga seemed to be out of breath breaking into a cold sweat and shaking her legs.
Consumed by her fear she could not say anything.
The moment he answered this question it felt like Jangju would cut off his own head at any moment.
Zhang Zhou Guqianmu shook her head.
Then she moved closer to her and said:
“The fact that he doesn’t answer in the end can be seen as an affirmation…”
-Shudder!
Gucheonmu stopped what she was saying for a moment.
Then she quickly turned her head with a stern expression.
Everyone’s eyes which were focused on Gu Tianmu were turned towards the cliff.
‘!!!!!!!’
Everyone looked surprised.
That was because a being was seen floating above the cliff edge.
He was the monstrous master who fell with the thief.
