Episode 179:
Zhuge Yan looked around the Danga with a blank gaze.
I saw familiar faces around me. The person who stood out the most was, of course, Namgoong Sohye, who had been with him since childhood.
She was standing in front with a somewhat embarrassed expression, scratching her head.
“Are you okay now?”
‘Then it’s okay.’
It’s already been 10 days, how could it not be okay?
The fact that Zhuge Yun almost died has now been buried in time. It’s already been 10 days and Zhuge Un, who couldn’t open his eyes, came to his senses yesterday.
But on the other hand, he also felt bad.
When Zhuge Yun and Zhuge Yan were suffering so much and were trapped in a cave.
Quick-!
“Ugh!’?”
One walnut in Zhuge Yan’s hand was crushed into powder. Hearing that cheerful sound, Namgung Sohye looked at her face with a dead blue expression.
scary.
Although Zhuge Yan was usually gentle and more feminine than anyone else, he was a child who sometimes lost his eyes and didn’t know what he might do.
At times like this, Tang Wen-hye of Sacheon Dang Family seemed relatively kind. Even though that child is also quite famous among the late exponents as an evil spirit.
“So… you were here the last time we were here?”
“Uh… Uh… Yes….”
“After going through so much trouble, I was looking for your grandfather… I searched everywhere to find out about you who had gone missing… But when he saw us like that, “You chewed it too?”
“Chewing seeds!?” Je Gal-yeon smiled brightly as he looked at Namgung So-hye, who was surprised. Then, I quietly approached him and smelled Sohye’s fragrant scent.
‘I could only smell someone’s sweat…!’ Thinking about that, I smiled innocently
.
“You are truly the truth.”
“Ugh!’?”
joy-!
Zhuge Yan moved toward his residence with great strides. As I was looking at the back, the anger that had risen to the top of my head for a while did not seem like it would subside easily.
Namgung Sohye sat down on the spot.
“Ji… the truth… am I…?”
Her heart broke.
“Are you okay now?”
Dan Woo-hyeon asked as he looked at Zhuge Un, who had come to his senses. He was seriously injured and did not open his eyes for nearly 10 days. My physical and mental fatigue must have reached its peak, so even speaking seemed difficult.
However, Zhuge Un smiled slightly and nodded.
“Of course it’s okay. “If you whine this much, how could you have become the leader of the Murim League?”
There was a bit of bitterness in that smile.
But soon he turned his head and looked at Nangong Cheon. His face, which had been somewhat stiff, slowly opened and tears formed at the corners of his eyes.
“Thank you… Lord….”
“Hehe, I’m not the Lord anymore, yes. “Don’t say that.”
Pfft! Zhuge Un let out a small groan.
In his mind, Nam Gung-cheon was an eternal leader. Even though he lost one arm, he is still an absolute powerhouse and no one can surpass him.
“You’re alive… I’m so glad you’re alive.”
I held on to Namgung-cheon’s sleeve with tears streaming down my face. My arms were trembling, but I gave them strength as if I never wanted to let go.
“You too. “Thank you so much for staying well.”
Nangong Cheon also had faint tears in the corners of his eyes. I have as many memories with Zhuge Un as the years we knew each other.
Would he have been so sad because he was no different from a comrade who had shared joys and sorrows with him?
That was also the reason why Zhuge Un ran ahead of anyone else when he heard that he had been attacked.
“Hundred-faced sword (白面劍)… That was Lord Maeng.”
“huh? “What does that mean?”
“A lot of people call it that. “A one-armed old man wearing a white mask… and…”
Zhuge Un’s eyes turned to the other side.
There was a person there with his arms crossed with a nonchalant expression.
It was definitely the old man I saw last time.
The one who was using demon energy.
Since he wasn’t wearing a mask, I could clearly recognize his face.
“Was it you who was the one with the black face? “Master of Demonic Cult.”
“Hmph…”
“If others found out that you two were gathered together in a place like this, they would be shocked.”
These are two absolute experts who represent Jeongma.
If you think about the fact that the political faction and the demonic religion have been clashing over and over again for a long time, it seems like they could never be together in one place.
So how should we accept this situation now?
Zhuge Un’s gaze returned to Dan Woohyun again.
‘Is it the power of interest?’
The leaders of these two huge organizations, the political faction and the demonic religion, are being brought in without any disturbance. I don’t think Dan Woo-hyeon is stronger than them, but it seems certain that he has the ability to do so.
Therefore, Zhuge Un also had to make a decision.
I stood up from the bed with difficulty.
There was no one who looked at that and tried to stop him. Because he had the look in his eyes of a man who had made a firm decision.
Zhuge Yun stood up and bowed his head in front of Dan Yu Hyun.
“This Zhuge Un… I want to be of some help, even if only in a small way. “Can you accept it?” This was a rather bold statement considering he had his head down.
But this was the last remaining pride that Zhuge Un had.
Zhuge Yun did not raise his head and waited for Dan Yu-hyeon to speak.
At that time, I heard a sigh and laughter.
“I don’t really like people who use their brains. “Most of those guys are the ones who even rip off their owners if it goes against their own interests.”
“I…”
“But I guess it’ll be okay. “There was no one within Sega to brainstorm, so if only there was someone who could do it for them.”
“…I am confident that this Zhu Galun’s brain is second to none.”
Dan Woo-hyeon sat on a chair and stared at Zhuge Un’s figure with a crooked posture. The pouring gaze was like a blade and seemed to pierce his entire body.
Cold sweat formed on Zhuge Yun’s forehead.
This is because I had no idea whether permission was given or not.
I was completely out of breath due to a force I had never felt before, not even from Namgungcheon.
“You have to show your abilities first, right?”
The one word to show one’s ability touched Zhuge Un’s pride. Although it is not as good as the Nangung Sega, the Zhuge Sega is also one of the original Five Great Sages and the brains that led the Wulin faction.
If you were going to lead someone like that, you had to be qualified.
“Then shouldn’t you also show Dan Daehyeop? “I don’t know if this person can embrace Zhuge Un or not…”
His tone of voice was always polite.
Although his tone was quite different from the last time I saw him, Je Gal-woon’s voice and expression as he raised his head and looked at Dan Woo-hyeon were full of firmness and determination.
Zhuge Un guessed that a person named Dan Woo-hyeon might have such a vessel, so he did not leave Honam and remained there.
However, I have never actually confirmed that ability.
“I don’t embrace anyone. “Give your loyalty to this old man.”
With those words, Dan Woo-hyeon stood up from his seat.
A leisurely word meant that it was okay for you to come or not.
Reminding him that he was not in a position to be tested, he told him that his loyalty should be directed to Namgung-cheon, not to himself.
In the end, it meant that Dan Woo-hyeon did not care about Zhuge Un’s loyalty and did not have the heart to embrace him.
However, if you want to remain here and stay by the side of those you want to follow, prove your skills.
Zhuge Un was so dumbfounded by those words that he burst into laughter.
I raised my head as I heard the door closing and leaving.
“Well, that’s the kind of person he is.”
Sadohak shrugged his shoulders and laughed.
It was quite comical to see Zhuge Un, who had made up his mind and asked someone other than Namgung-cheon to collect the money, immediately kicked him.
Zhuge Un also seemed to know this and smiled awkwardly.
Dan Woohyun thought as he left the room.
He was quite an interesting person.
If you think about whether there’s ever been a person who said something like, “If you want to be confident, show your ability, I can’t think of a single person.” Of course, the flow of time is different between then and now.
A thousand years had passed, and no one knew of the existence of Dan Woo-hyeon.
If I knew Dan Woo-hyeon’s identity, I wouldn’t have been able to say that.
On the contrary, I was so discouraged in front of him that I didn’t even raise my dog, and that was why it was fun.
Being with people who don’t know who they were a thousand years ago.
Dan Woo-hyeon smiled and left the annex.
I headed toward the garden, moving my body as if I was taking a leisurely walk. Then I suddenly found Namgung So-hye sitting down in the corner of the yard.
“What are you doing?”
“It’s… a bit… I guess you could say it’s fixing my broken spirit…”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“I don’t know either.”
Namgung Sohye burst out laughing and stood up from her seat. I lightly shook off the dirt on my clothes, stood in front of Dan Woo-hyeon, and let out a small sigh.
He hesitated, as if he was about to say something.
Dan Woo-hyeon frowned at that sight.
“If you have something to say, say it.”
“Not really…”
Dan Woo-hyeon narrowed his eyes.
When Namgung So-hye met his gaze directly, he quickly turned his head. The face, which had turned red, was somewhat embarrassed.
“If you don’t have it, I’ll just leave.”
“Hey, Confucius Dan!”
Just as Woohyun was about to turn around and head somewhere else, I grabbed his collar tightly.
After all, I have something to say.
I stopped walking and looked at Namgung Sohye again.
She took a deep breath as if she had made up her mind, moved her lips several times, and then slowly opened her mouth, staring into his eyes.
“You know, right?”
“What do you mean?”
“One of the three thousand… Nam Ju-ryeon’s Jinsin Jeolgi…”
“What does that mean?”
As expected, Namgung Sohye muttered softly.
Dan Woo-hyeon knows the martial arts skills of a person from a thousand years ago.
When I realized that fact, the doubts that had been lingering in my head became closer to certainty.
Namgung Sohye clenched her fists.
“Tell me! You said it was Changcheon Hwanjogeom, right? “Please tell me that martial arts skill.”
“Isn’t Namgung’s season just as good?”
“I want to become stronger. So, if you know… please teach me.”
Namgung Sohye had no intention of backing down.
A golden opportunity to learn Nam Joo-ryeon’s martial arts skills.
Even if that person was really the person who started the Namgung Se family, it would not be strange for Namgung Sohye to learn about it.
Dan Woo-hyeon looked at her face and laughed.
Namgung So-hye did not seem to have any intention of backing down easily.
I opened my mouth to check it.
“Why do you think I know that?”
Namgung Sohye took a deep breath.
She had only one answer to Dan Woo-hyeon’s question.
Without hesitation, she stared straight at him and parted her lips.
“It’s because I’m sure you’re a military god.”
For the first time, surprise appeared on Dan Woo-hyeon’s face.
A strong wind blew and violently embraced the two people.
