Episode 79
“No, even if you weren’t that person, you would have done well in your own way. But…”
Yeo Ha-ryun let go of Jin Cheon-hee’s arm.
“…But if my brother says that, I can’t help it.”
There was a large handprint of Yeo Ha-ryun on Jin Cheon-hee’s arm.
The handprint of Cheonsalseong on the arm of a disciple. Master’s expression subtly hardens.
Baekrin Uiseon said.
“Heeya. “I don’t understand why I became a sworn brother with that thing.”
Suppressing his rising murderous intent, Master uttered one more word.
“What can I do? “It’s all because you’re so kind…”
Even in the midst of this, it was Baek Lin-ui-seon who was scratching Yeo Ha-ryun with a smile.
* * *
“Your Majesty, you were careless. “If Gung-gwi knows about this incident, he will never remain silent.”
Master nagged Wang Gak-yeon.
Wang Gak-yeon’s expression becomes pale due to the constant nagging. However, the expression on his face was not one of regret or reflection toward his father.
It was a worry for Jin Cheon-hee.
‘Cheonhee. If you go all the way to me, you’ll be dead now, so what are you going to do?’
Isn’t he just looking at Jin Cheon-hee with these eyes?
Even if he gets nagged, Wang Gak-yeon is ultimately a stranger. All I have to do is listen to some nagging and go back to my father.
Her father may have nagged her a little, but since she paid for the gift, she didn’t regret it one bit in her life.
The problem is how Jin Cheon-hee will behave after Wang Gak-yeon leaves.
“Okay then, let’s go out and have a look. “We will deal with this more later.”
Wang Gak-yeon bowed deeply and winked at Jin Cheon-hee.
‘I’m going. cheer up.’
Jin Cheonhee nodded slightly.
After Wang Gak-yeon left, there were now three people left: Master, Little Cheonma Yeo Ha-ryun, and Jin Cheon-hee.
Silence washed over me. Jin Cheonhee spoke hurriedly.
“I will make tea for this disciple!”
Then, before Master and Yeo Ha-ryun could even reply, he quickly headed to the kitchen.
‘driving me crazy. ‘How did this relationship come about?’
In the original novel, the relationship between the two was that of the protagonist and the benefactor who saved his life in a martial arts novel.
‘Of course, it was a bit businesslike back then.’
Since he was the benefactor who saved her life, he did his duty, and Baekrin Uiseon also asked for and helped Yeo Ha-ryun with various things when she needed it.
However, Yeo Ha-ryun never looked for a way to save Baek Rin-ui-seon’s life or worried about his well-being.
‘When I think about it again, it was a really dry relationship.’
As the protagonist of a martial arts novel, Yeo Ha-Ryun was sure of her support, but there was no sharing of feelings.
The teacher was also a supporting character who died in the beginning, so he only appeared a little bit, but he wasn’t deeply involved in Yeo Ha-ryun’s life.
‘If you think about it, the personalities of the two of you didn’t really match.’
Fortunately, there are no longer any passing relationships, which are a lifesaver, so the moment I see you, I am exuding life.
Jin Cheonhee thought.
‘I… I have to somehow make this relationship a little better.’
Jin Cheon-hee was lost in thought.
‘I will save the master who passed away in the original, and Yeo Ha-ryun… but I hope to make less enemies than in the original and live happier than before.’
Yeo Ha-ryun from The Most High Heavenly Demon was not lacking as a protagonist, but she was a character with a lot of empty space in her human life.
As the main character, Yeo Ha-ryun lived a truly hellish life.
Those who lost their families because of Yeo Ha-ryun were also dragged into hell.
Readers of the novel know that the main character is not a bad person.
Even though it was a heavenly horse, it moved with its own principles.
However, that was thanks to the omniscient third-person point of view, and it was none of the business of the protagonist, Won Su-jin’s political faction, Sa faction, or members of the Demonic Church.
‘But this time it’s a lot different from the original novel.’
During the short time she spent with Jin Cheon-hee, Yeo Ha-ryun still had time to reflect on human life. And thanks to the promise I shared with him as my older brother, I was able to endure it twice.
This means that the number of enemies has been significantly reduced.
In the original, Yeo Ha-ryun had power, but she did not have virtue.
This time, thanks to the principle of putting up with something twice, I was able to interact with people who would have been my enemies.
The proof is the bracelet, Black Cheonhyeolsa, wrapped around Jin Cheonhee’s wrist.
The teacher’s health has improved and Yeo Ha-ryun’s life has improved a bit, but nothing comes for free.
‘The two became real strangers.’
Jin Cheon-hee thought about that and slapped her cheek once.
‘are you okay! ‘I just have to do well!’
After consoling myself, I made some tea and went back inside.
“Master! “I made some tea!”
Grumbling –
* * *
Jin Cheon-hee poured tea for the two and eagerly told Yeo Ha-ryun stories about her life.
He did not forget to praise Master every now and then about how great he was and how good he was to him.
On the other hand, he never forgot to tell his teacher how good Yeo Ha-ryun was, that he tolerated him twice, that he was his younger brother, and
that he gave him a precious bracelet as a gift.
“….”
The two glared at each other coldly and then said one word at a time.
“Hey, there’s no need to protect ‘that’ like that.”
“To you, Master, you are a very important person.”
Yeo Ha-ryun’s voice even oozed jealousy.
He must have felt like he was making happy memories with someone named Baekrin Uiseon while he was rolling around in his limbs.
‘oh my. ‘A kid is a kid.’
Still, Master’s expression became softer than before.
“They say you can endure it twice… I’ve never seen in literature that a Heavenly Being has that much patience, so it’s truly amazing.”
Master rubbed his chin and was lost in thought. Finally, he added something.
“Heeya.”
“Yes, Master.”
“I have said this many times, but there is nothing more precious to me in this world than you. So, originally, ‘that’ would have already died the moment I caught my eye.”
“….”
“But since you call that one your younger brother and that one calls you your older brother, it won’t be easy for me to do as I want.”
Jin Cheon-hee found a trap in those words.
I said it wouldn’t be easy to do whatever I wanted, but I didn’t mean that I wouldn’t do whatever I wanted.
Master sighed slightly.
“Heeya.”
“Yes… Master.”
“If that thing harms even a single hair of yours, I will do anything.”
Master said that and looked down at Yeo Ha-ryun.
It was definitely the same smile as usual, but it had a stinging aftertaste. To live.
“Master, that won’t happen.”
“okay. Since you said that, I think I will believe it at least once. After doing a little research, of course. “This teacher has friends in the Demonic Cult as well.”
…There you are. Isn’t this the world’s best friend?
After saying those words, Master went out.
Yeo Ha-ryun stared at the spot where Baek Rin-ui-seon left for a long time.
* * *
A few days passed like that. Jin Cheon-hee stayed by Yeo Ha-ryun’s side and helped Jeong Yang, and Master came and went from time to time.
The two did not talk to each other.
Everything was done only through Jin Cheon-hee.
“But isn’t it thanks to you that we didn’t fight? “Put out your chest.”
Wang Gak-yeon said so.
As expected, it seems like things went as expected and he came out after hearing some nagging from his father. But that’s it.
Both my father and Wang Gak-yeon knew very well that his temper would not go anywhere. The person who resembled Gung-gwi the most was because it was his daughter.
It was such a pity for both sides.
Jin Cheon-hee flapped her fan towards the boiling decoction and said.
“If I wasn’t in the middle, there wouldn’t be a fight.”
“Is it good to live a pessimistic life?”
Jin Cheon-hee laughed bitterly at each of his words.
‘Because it wasn’t like this in the original.’
As an avid reader of the Most High Heavenly Demon, I have very complicated feelings.
Gak-yeon said.
“Cheonhee.”
“huh?”
“I’ve felt it before, but you try to be too perfect. If you have supported your teacher and saved your friend, you have already done it. Also, you saved the Ark with all four limbs intact, right? “You want it to be more perfect.”
“….”
That was advice from a fellow perfectionist.
Wang Keoyeon himself had that kind of temperament, so he understood Jin Cheonhee.
“Even biological parents can’t do that. Look at my dad. “He is a great father who saved his daughter’s life, but he is having a hard time because of an unfilial daughter who always causes accidents.”
“Why do you say there’s another kid like you in this world?”
“That is to say. Anyway, just do what’s in front of you. Other than that, let it go. Even the Jade Emperor can’t do that.”
“….”
Jin Cheonhee couldn’t answer. Gak-yeon patted Jin Cheon-hee on the back a couple of times.
“Have some confidence. Walk around with your shoulders straight. “I’m going.”
“Go already?”
“Dad gave me a lot of training as punishment. “You have to finish it before the sun sets.”
She stood up with the bow on her shoulder.
Is it because I saw them fighting sincerely for once?
Somehow she looked cool.
‘okay. It’s different from the original, but I’m still glad I saved a friend like you.’
If I went back in time, I would have made the same decision. Jin Cheon-hee thought so.
Jin Cheon-hee sent off the candle, turned off the fire, and picked up the medicine bowl.
When I returned to the annex, I saw Yeo Ha-ryun sitting cross-legged and practicing Ungong.
My body has recovered a lot, and I am now back to the stage where I can practice flying.
Jin Cheon-hee carefully placed the decoction on the seat next to her so as not to interfere with the practice and then practiced the practice together.
The sound of the wind echoed through the bamboo forest. In the outbuilding, where there were no passers-by, the only sound was the sound of bamboo leaves crashing.
The smell of snow and rain rushed in together.
After Jin Cheon-hee finished Joo-cheon, she slowly opened her eyes.
‘Ah, the seasons are changing again.’
It meant getting older again.
“brother. it’s over?”
“It looks like you finished the luck first.”
“okay. I also took some decoction. “I also peeled apples.”
After saying that, he put down a plate of apples in front of Jin Cheonhee.
“Are you giving it to me to eat?”
“You worked hard throughout the treatment. “What can you do with just an apple?”
The apple Yeo Ha-ryun gave me was somehow very strange.
The surface was so smooth that it would be more accurate to say it was peeled rather than shaved.
‘I couldn’t see any knife marks. How on earth did they cut it?’
A level so high that it is difficult to guess. He accomplished that at that age.
And I’m only using it to peel apples.
There was no luxury like this.
‘In times like this, let’s pretend we don’t know.’
Jin Cheon-hee chewed an apple and cheered Yeo Ha-ryun.
“I’m almost cured. “I can go back now.”
“What about suffering?”
It means blood clot.
When one first joins the Demonic Cult, blood pressure is implanted in the body. He is famous for being the most vicious in the midfield.
Jin Cheon-hee told me about a way to escape this suffering.
“Everything has been removed.”
“I finally extracted it. “If anyone else had heard it, they would have said it was crazy.”
It was like that.
There was one fact that Wang Gak-yeon did not know and the teacher did not know either.
