Chapter 295
295fury. I'm moving quickly because I don't have time.
Baek Soo-ryong asked with a puzzled expression..
“……What did you say just now??”
“I told you that if you possess the Ice White Pill and have made progress as an Ice Moon Goddess, you are qualified to become the Princess of the North Sea Ice Palace..”
Seo Ri-ae got down on one knee. He seemed confident that Baeksu-ryong was the successor to the Ice Moon Goddess..
“…….”
Baek Soo-ryong could not find anything else to say other than silence. He looked at the top of Seo Ri-ae's head, her head bowed, with an embarrassed expression on her face..
‘Eunsabu. You never said anything like this..’
Baek Su-ryong thought of the Ice Moon Goddess..
I've known her for over ten years in the underground prison, but I haven't heard much about the North Sea Ice Palace from her..
Because she hated living in the ice palace..
-Even if I escape here, I won't go back to the North Sea.
Bingung Palace has a closed and strict culture..
Eun Ye-rin, who was born with overwhelming talent, had to endure harsh training from a young age amid the palace lord's expectations..
It was a difficult thing for a young girl to handle, but Yerin gritted her teeth and endured it..
In the end, after becoming so strong that not even the palace lord could do anything, she left the North Sea Ice Palace without any regrets, leaving behind only a letter..
I will return after learning about the martial arts of the Central Plains and proving that the martial arts of the Beihai Ice Palace are the best in the world..
From then on, she left behind numerous legendary anecdotes in the central plains until she earned the nickname “Bingwol Goddess.”.
However, when Baek Soo-ryong asked about him, Eun Ye-rin smiled and answered..
- that? I left it behind because I didn't want to go back to the ice palace. In the first place, I wasn't interested in being the best in the world..
Playfulness in haughty eyes.
Every time Eun Ye-rin smiled like that, it felt like the prison had become brighter for a moment..
Fortunately, there was no man in the prison who could fall for her beauty, but there was also no man who could deny her beauty..
When Eun Ye-rin was active in the midfield, many men challenged her, defeated her, and admired her passionately..
But no one could become the lover of the Ice Moon Goddess..
Until she met a man in a small old bookstore in Shaanxi..
-……That person will be waiting. When I get out of here, I want to go live with him somewhere I don't know anyone..
The Ice Moon Goddess' dream was simple..
Spending the rest of your life with your loved one.
However, due to the conspiracy of the blood religion, she fell into a trap and was imprisoned in prison for a long time without knowing the news of Jeongin..
-I'm sorry I woke you up. I've been trapped here for over ten years, is he still waiting??
-…….
Uncharacteristically, Master Meng immediately apologized to the Bingwol Goddess who was glaring at her without saying a word..
-Hmm. I made a mistake.
-……This is someone who will wait for you, not just for ten years, but even for a hundred years..
The Ice Moon Goddess’ answer was confident. But I felt deep sadness in the words that followed..
-If I don't come, I'm a foolish man who will wait there until I die. So we must escape from here. certainly…….
-…….
-…….
“teacher?”
“……ah.”
Baek Soo-ryong was brought out of his brief thoughts by Seo Ri-ae's call..
“sorry. To think for a moment.”
“I think it will be sudden..”
“……yes.”
Even the Ice Moon Goddess probably didn't know something like this would happen..
After his disappearance, there was bloodshed in the Bing Palace due to the issue of successor, and he had no idea that he would be imprisoned..
Also, decades later, the day will come when White Water Dragon will form a relationship with the North Sea Ice Palace..
Baek Soo-ryong scratched his forehead and asked.
“I have a few questions…….”
“please speak.”
“I am an outsider and not from the North Sea Ice Palace in the first place. Is it possible for me to become the palace lord? I know that Bingungung is a closed place, but.”
As if it was an expected question, Seori-ae smiled faintly and answered..
“The harsh environment of the North Sea caused the North Sea Ice Palace to be inherited through skill, not blood. It is rather rare for a palace lord's bloodline to continue to the next generation..”
The method of selecting the next palace lord in the North Sea Ice Palace was quite different from that of the clans in the central plains..
“We gather children with outstanding qualifications from a young age, teach them the beginning of Bing Baek Shin Gong, and select outstanding children through competition. So when he turns 20, the most outstanding person becomes the Sogungju..”
Afterwards, the palace lord receives the complete ice and white magic from the palace lord..
“I understand that the Ice Moon Goddess became the owner of the small palace with the most overwhelming qualities in the history of the ice palace. I heard that you achieved great success in Bing Baek Shin Gong even before the age of stipulation passed..”
It didn't end there.
The Bingwol Goddess succeeded in improving the existing Bingbaeksin Technique into a superior martial art..
The only person who knows that is Baek Soo-ryong..
“…… I was one of those kids. Due to my lack of qualifications, I was only able to learn the first half of the ice ball, but that alone allowed me to hear the sound of an ice ball expert in the midfield..”
Seo Ri-ae paused for a moment and looked at Baek Soo-ryong..
A warrior so strong that he can be considered one of the world's top 10 masters at the age of less than 30..
He was fully qualified to challenge the lord of the North Sea Ice Palace..
“Of course, the choice is up to the teacher. I just wanted to let you know.”
“…….”
Baek Soo-ryong was lost in thought for a moment..
North Sea Ice Palace).
A new foreign martial arts group that is as powerful as the old group..
However, although the position of the palace lord of the North Sea Ice Palace may be attractive to others, Baeksu-ryong was not particularly impressed. Rather, I hated it..
‘……I'm sick of it now.’
However, even if it is not necessary to become the lord of the palace, wouldn’t it be possible to achieve a cooperative relationship with the Bing Palace??
If possible, the blood shed in future wars against blood religions would be greatly reduced..
‘And you also need to know Bingungung. Why did Master Eun suddenly disappear, and why did they lose Sogungju overnight and start a civil war?.’
Even though Master Eun hated life at Bing Palace, if she had stayed alive, the fight for the next successor to Bing Palace would not have gone that way..
In the end, the reason Bingung started a civil war was because of blood religion..
‘I guess I should go to the ice palace first..’
Delivering the wills of the four masters from previous lives and collecting their belongings..
From the beginning, that was Baek Soo-ryong's most important plan for this vacation..
However, I was worried about where to start, but I was able to set my priorities by listening to Seori-ae's story..
“Can I just go to the ice palace??”
As if she had been waiting, Seori took out an old map from her pocket..
“…… This is a map depicting a route that is only known to Bingungung. You will be able to go twice as fast as taking the known route in Jungwon..”
Seo Ri-ae's expression as she handed the map to Baek Soo-ryong was very complex..
‘When the teacher arrives at the ice palace with the ice pill, my mission will finally be over..’
Seo Ri-ae had mixed emotions, as she had no idea that she would be able to complete the mission she abandoned a long time ago in this way..
Baek Soo-ryong, who was watching her complicated expression, blurted out.
“This is Bingbaekhwan.”
He rolled up his left sleeve and showed Bingbaekhwan to Seoriae..
Normally, it was a transparent bracelet that was barely noticeable, but when I performed the Ice White Magic, it began to glow pure white..
Ugh-!
“iced coffee…….”
Seo Ri-ae looked at Bing Baek-hwan as if fascinated..
I've heard a lot of stories, but this was my first time seeing it in person..
I felt like I was being sucked into the bright light and pure cold..
There was no doubt. The lost sacred object of Bingbaek Shrine was located here..
Seo Ri-ae, who had been looking at Bing Baek-hwan as if fascinated for a while, suddenly tilted her head..
“Me, teacher. I heard that there are two Bing Baek Hwan as a pair.…….”
“I don't have one.”
For a moment, Seoriae’s expression hardened. It was an unexpected problem.
“Ha, it doesn't make sense unless you're a couple. No, it may have enough meaning.…….”
The authority of the sacred relics of the North Sea Ice Palace will be greatly damaged..
Perhaps, suspicion could be raised that Baek Su-ryong was the former Ice Moon Goddess..
But Baek Soo-ryong smiled and said there was no problem..
“Since it was vacation, I thought I would go find the remaining one. I know where it is. After finding it, I plan to go to Bingungung..”
“iced coffee… … . Thank goodness. I'm so glad.”
Seeing Seo Ri-ae greatly relieved, Baek Soo-ryong swallowed his words..
‘I'm not sure if it's still there though.’
A long time has passed, but strangely enough, I felt confident that I would definitely be able to find the remaining one..
-……This is someone who will wait for you, not just for ten years, but even for a hundred years..
Maybe it's just belief in the eunsabu, but.
“I'm sure you're busy, but I'm sorry for taking up so much time. Then I'll leave…….”
Seo-ri-ae stood up. Baek Su-ryong also got up to see her off..
“Mother.”
Just before Seo Ri-ae went out the door, Baek Soo-ryong suddenly had a good idea and called her..
“yes?”
“I have no desire to become the lord of the North Sea Ice Palace. However, if I continue the progress of the Ice Moon Goddess and come to Ice Baekhwan, wouldn't the North Sea Ice Palace consider me a benefactor??”
“…… Of course. Since you have found a sacred item that has not been found for decades, I will treat you as a great benefactor of the Bing Palace..”
“If such a benefactor asks, is it possible to pardon an archer who committed a crime in the past and ran away??”
“yes? What are you saying?…….”
Baek Soo-ryong said with a grin..
“For example, pardoning the sins of a woman who ran away after having an affair with a man from the central region..”
“…….”
Seo Ri-ae looked at Baek Soo-ryong's smiling face and made a blank expression..
No way, no way…….
she said with a puzzled expression.
“Stand, teacher. I didn't come hoping for something. Just to thank you for helping my son.…….”
“I know. I just want to do that..”
Baek Su-ryong laughed. It was a rare, simple and sincere laugh..
“I guess he lived each day anxiously wondering when the pursuer from the North Sea Ice Palace would come back. Even though nearly twenty years have passed, there's no way my anxious feelings have completely gone away..”
“…….”
“In such a situation, I raised my son properly alone. I think it's really great.”
“…….”
“I can't say for sure. To the best of my ability, I will do my best to have the North Sea Ice Palace officially pardon your mother..”
pop.
A tear drop slowly fell to the floor, and soon the tears began to flow helplessly..
It was a tear I hadn't shed since my husband died..
Embarrassed, Seo Ri-ae wiped away her tears with the back of her hand..
“…… Thank you just for your words. There is no way to repay the grace I have already received, so why do I have to do this to you?…….”
Baek Su-ryong smiled silently..
‘Because it looks like it overlaps with Eunsabu..’
Ice Moon Goddess Eun Ye-rin never met Jeong-in again after breaking up with her..
Hancheonbingmo Seo Ri-ae lost her husband and raised her son alone..
In Baek Soo-ryong’s eyes, the two people appeared together..
In the end, Master Eun couldn't help, but it seemed like Seo Ri-ae could help..
“Instead, I also have a favor to ask of you..”
“……tell me anything.”
“Among my disciples, there is a person called Yeomin. I taught Bingbaekshingong, but the level is not that high yet. If it's okay, could you teach me during the vacation??
Binggong masters are very valuable..
Even though Seo Ri-ae's level was lower than Baek Su-ryong's, it was clear that she would be of great help to Yeo-min, as she had learned the ice technique for a much longer period of time..
“All right. I don't know how well I can teach…….”
She was a woman who had developed a talent like Bang Baek-hyeon. I could tell without looking that he would teach well..
However, the problem was the martial arts I was learning..
“First, I'll have to try the bingbaeksin technique that my mother learned..”
“yes?”
“They say it's not perfect. You have to know the right things to teach them properly..”
Seo Ri-ae realized what those words meant and opened her eyes wide..
Isn’t that what you mean by teaching yourself the perfect ice-baek-shin-gong??
“Ha, but that only goes to the palace lord.…….”
“It's like being excommunicated. What's the problem? And I don't intend to teach you everything. I'll teach you only as much as you need..”
“still…….”
Baek Soo-ryong did not accept counterarguments..
After checking the time, he urged Seori-ae..
“Time is running out to teach everything within today. If you go to that room, there will be some spare uniforms, so change your clothes first..”
“yes yes?”
“Uh-huh! Move quickly because there is no time! practice!”
“City, conducted!”
Due to an unexpected coincidence, Seo Ri-ae hurriedly ran to her room..
