Episode 1139 But what can I do? (4)
The next day.
“Tskcha.”
Cheongmyeong turned his shoulders energetically.
“Now then, how about looking slimmer today?”
Although Qingming still had energy, the expressions of Tang Junyu and Meng Xiao were not as bright and energetic as Qingming.
“…Aren’t you tired?”
“Are you tired?”
Cheongmyeong secretly turned his gaze to Tang Junak and Meng Xiao. Fatigue was evident on their faces.
Of course, the moment you enter the training hall, your face will change to that of a solemn warrior, but here, there seemed to be no need to relax and act like that.
“no way. “What have you done that makes you tired already?”
“Keu….”
“Age is scary.”
Meng Xiao and Tang Kunak shook their heads.
First of all, let alone Cheongmyeong’s military power, this tireless stamina was something they could not match at all.
“So, you’re dealing with kids, so you’re not crying, are you?”
The two people shook their heads at Cheongmyeong’s joke.
“Once is not a big deal… but it happens two or three times, so it’s not easy to wake up in the morning.”
“Isn’t it true that humans don’t completely recover just by practicing and sleeping?”
Cheongmyeong clicked his tongue at those words.
“When a war begins, it happens that you have to fight not for three or four days, but for a month or two without rest. “Are you going to say the same thing then?”
Cheongmyeong slowly turned his head.
“It looks like the elders all have similar thoughts. Later, a war broke out, and the moment I said that I was getting older and couldn’t keep fighting as much as you, so I would go back and rest later, the dinner table was cleared away. If you don’t want to be the old man in the back room, hold on even if everyone else dies.”
“Ok.”
“Ugh…”
A series of groans escaped the elders’ mouths. I’m upset, but there’s nothing wrong with everything he says, so it’s hard to say anything in response.
“It shouldn’t have been that difficult to begin with, so why bother?”
Tanggunak smiled bitterly at those words.
‘It’s not hard…’
In some ways, that’s true. Dealing with them itself is not that difficult. Unless there is a requirement that you must suppress them while never showing weakness.
‘Besides… it’s definitely getting better the more you repeat it.’
It was clear that they too were learning how to deal with this side, either physically or mentally.
“It’s easier said than done.”
At that time, Meng Xiao opened his mouth.
“They may have no experience dealing with people like us as a group, but on the other hand, we also have no experience dealing with those many people as enemies.”
Everyone nodded at those words.
“It is true, who in the world would experience something like this? Even if you train against a large number of people in each gate, the number will not exceed five. “It means we have to adapt too.”
Meng Xiao made an uncharacteristically weak noise, but Cheongmyeong cut him off.
“Then you have to adapt.”
His expression was cold, as if he didn’t have to listen to Meng Xiao’s words.
“If there’s something you need to adapt to, just adapt. “You don’t really think that the blades of the Demonic Cult or the Demonic Clan will avoid you and will only be directed at them, right?”
“Well, what…”
The moment Meng Xiao slightly hesitated, a strange light appeared in Tang Kunyue’s eyes.
“…Do you think we will often find ourselves in situations like this in the future?”
“It’s not a matter of whether there is more or less. “The important thing is that there is no way something like this could not happen.”
As if that wasn’t enough, Cheongmyeong added.
“The weak side has to do something.”
“….”
“If you arrogantly sit back like you said and act like the subordinates will deal with the subordinates and we can only target the enemy’s leader, all of them will die before they even meet the enemy’s leader.”
At those words, the faces of Tang Kunak, Meng Xiao, and the elders hardened slightly.
“Then ultimately, those who can make up for the lack of power will have no choice but to make up for it. If a real war breaks out, there will be no situation where you can sit back and leisurely understand the situation. never.”
Cheongmyeong’s eyes narrowed slightly.
“You can only choose one of two things. As I watch the kids dying in front of me, I make excuses that I am biding my time. Either that, or fight while scooping up mud at the front line.”
“Um…”
“Which one will you choose?”
The elders opened their mouths to answer something, but Cheongmyeong waved his hand to block them.
“Ah, it’s okay. If you ask this, everyone will answer that they will be fighting on the front lines anyway. But not many people actually do that. “Most people get scared and step back, but those who are really motivated go on a rampage without knowing how far they can go, and are the first to die.”
“…her.”
“So, get used to this opportunity. “What it’s like to deal with the majority.”
Tang Gunak smiled bitterly.
“I always feel this, but you are too demanding.”
“Everyone does volcanoes.”
“…So it’s like I’m going to explode.”
Tanggunak shook his head.
It is too much to ask that you train them while also promoting your own development. But while I hope for my students’ growth, isn’t it something I can’t do and say I can’t do?
“There is no place in the world where this type of training is practiced.”
“So it’s like that.”
“….”
“The problem is not only between factions. Strangely enough, even people who started out as low-ranking disciples do not understand the people below them once they take a higher position. In the past, he had promised himself countless times that he wouldn’t do that, but later he said, ‘It’s because you don’t know.’ “I said, ‘I understand in hindsight.’”
Tang Gunak cleared his throat. Because there was a part of me that was prickling inside.
“If it’s because you don’t know, it’s okay to tell them. If you understand first, you can explain it so that we can both understand. But if you don’t do that and just say that you will understand later… isn’t that just saying it’s convenient?”
“…yes.”
“So it’s not just them that needs to change.”
The moment Tang Junyu was about to say something, Meng Xiao scratched his head.
“I’ve heard enough nagging, so let’s go quickly. “Since they are scolding you, I think it would be easier to deal with them.”
“yep!”
There was no Cheongmyeongdo military language attached to those words.
In fact, judging from their positions in Gangho and their apparent age, these people are not people who deserve to be nagged by Cheongmyeong. Looking at it objectively, these two people who listen to the nagging of Cheongmyeong, who is only one of Hwasan’s three great disciples, without any sign of dislike, are amazing.
Cheongmyeong knew that too, so he didn’t go too far.
‘Okay. ‘There’s too much to worry about.’
In the past, I just asked, ‘What are you asking? Even if he just said, ‘Shut up and do as you say!’, at least no one complained in front of him. Now, you need to know how to talk to people as politely as possible without hurting their feelings.
‘execution. ‘This is how I live.’
– Do you know how I felt when I tried to talk back to you so as not to hurt your feelings?
‘no way. ‘That and this are different.’
– That damn….
Cheongmyeong shook his head and headed towards the training hall.
‘Do you think there will be no change today?’
The fastest way to change people is to pinpoint the problem and let them know. But sometimes that doesn’t change anything.
This is not something that can be done because he tells them, it is something that they must experience for themselves.
‘It won’t be that easy.’
Patience is needed. This is the same patience as Cheongmun, who waited and waited even though he knew that Cheongmyeong would not change easily.
“Phew.”
Cheongmyeong stood there and took a deep breath.
You shouldn’t be in a hurry. The saying, “The more urgent you go, the more you go back,” is one of the words that Cheongmyeong hates the most, but for now, he must engrave these words in his heart again and again.
If you grab them by the collar and drag them away because they don’t change quickly, it will eventually lead to a breakdown in a place where there is no clear name. If he cannot protect everyone, he must make it possible for everyone to protect themselves.
No matter how difficult it is, if you have no choice but to do it, you should do it.
“good.”
Cheongmyeong nodded, turned the corner and boldly entered the training hall.
“So, are you ready to have fun today too… huh?”
However, as soon as I entered the training hall, I stopped for a moment. Cheongmyeong’s head tilted slightly.
“What?”
The sight I saw was very different from usual.
Until now, each faction had gathered among themselves and waited. But what caught his eye now was herpes, which was clearly visible to anyone.
Yasugung stands in the front, and Namgung stands behind it. In the back, Dangga was ready to go out at any time, and Binggung and Hwasan were holding swords drawn from the left and right like double wings.
Although it was only a basic step, it was a sight that clearly showed that something had been prepared.
“Hmm?”
“Hoo…”
Meng Xiao and Tang Kunak, who followed behind, also looked at the scene with amusement.
Cheongmyeong covered his mouth with his fist. It was because I didn’t want to show the corners of my mouth that were curling up without my knowledge.
‘It’s faster than I thought.’
I certainly expected that Baekcheon, Ohgeom, and Lim Sobyeong would not just suffer like this. But I thought it would take 10 more days.
‘They say children always grow faster than parents think. ‘I am also human after all.’
Everyone is growing differently every day. Watching it closely all the time only makes it feel slower.
Cheongmyeong’s eyes turned to Baekcheon, who had a confident smile on his face. Cheongmyeong glanced at him, and this time he saw Lim So-byeong among the green trees behind the Dangga.
After confirming that Lim So-byeong was shrugging his shoulders, he adjusted his complexion and lowered his hand.
“It looks like you did something to the situation…”
What came out of his mouth was not a satisfied compliment, but an outright ridicule.
“What difference will that make?”
“well?”
Baekcheon chuckled and received Cheongmyeong’s provocation.
“I don’t know what will change. “A knife might get stuck in that proud snout.”
Namgung Dowi continued speaking politely.
“You may experience unexpected defeat.”
Of course, the party did not lose either.
“Even if everything fails, addiction will be difficult to avoid, right? The same goes for the head of the family!”
“under?”
As Cheongmyeong looked at everyone as if it was absurd, Lim So-byeong, who was waving a fan behind him, raised his voice.
“I always say this!”
His voice penetrated everyone’s ears.
“Winning or losing is a matter of later. “First of all, all you have to do is give that unlucky face a punch!”
“oh!”
“Damn it! Then you can sleep well today!”
“please! please! “Please!”
Before the heat cooled down, Lim So-byeong pointed the fan he was holding forward and pointed at Cheongmyeong.
“If you’re confident, why not give it a try?”
“Myself?”
“Or why are you pulling your ass out like that? “Are you scared?”
“Oh yeah?”
Cheongmyeong laughed and grabbed the sword.
Slurp.
The dark sword was slowly pulled out from his scabbard. Everyone swallowed their saliva when they saw that.
“You seem to be quite confident…”
Tanggunak and Meng Xiao stand to the left and right of Cheongmyeong. And the elders followed behind them, giggling.
“Well, it just means it lasts a little longer. “I’ll make you understand the difference in level, you bastards!”
Lim So-byeong shouted loudly as he saw Cheongmyeong charging in with a sword.
“Step on it!”
“Kill!”
“Justice will triumph! “You evildoers!”
Everyone rushed towards them with death radiating from their eyes.
Cheongmyeong lowered his posture and slightly lowered his head. A very faint smile flashed across his mouth, which was hidden from their eyes.
