Chapter 407
407fury. I'm going to sit down?
Jin Uihyeop's funeral was held simply at Cheongryong Hall..
“……Teacher Jin Euihyeop was a sincere and humble young man..”
With only fellow lecturers and some students in attendance, Noh Gun-sang gave the eulogy..
“I remember the day I was interviewing for a new instructor. When asked what kind of teacher he wanted to be, he answered with a serious expression:.”
Noh Gunsang’s voice rang calmly..
People attending the funeral listened quietly to the story..
“I will not be ashamed of the name of righteousness that my parents passed down to me, and I will always treat students fairly, and I want to become a teacher who is always helpful to students who are having difficulties in class..”
“……Ugh.”
The instructors and students who were close friends of Jin Medical Association during his lifetime began to sob one by one..
In particular, Kwak Doo-yong, who was close to the Jin Medical Association, was also maintaining his position..
“…….”
He looked blankly at the memorial tablet of his close friend, which was lying there without even finding his body..
Noh Gun-sang looked at him with a sad expression and continued..
“I have never doubted that Professor Jin Eui-hyeop would be the future of Cheongryong Academic Center. Although they were not immediately outstanding warriors or outstanding instructors, those young people knew that their true value would be revealed over time... … . It's like alcohol that has been steeped for a long time..”
“…….”
Baek Soo-ryong also attended the funeral..
He had no relationship with the Jin Medical Association..
If you run into each other while walking around Cheongryong Hall, the relationship is just a simple nod..
I was always busy with work, and the friends I had around me were enough, so I didn't necessarily make friends with other instructors..
Nevertheless, there was only one reason why Baek Soo-ryong attended this event..
‘Because he died because of me.’
In the end, the reason Jin Ui-hyeop died was because Cheon-sal chose someone from among Baek Su-ryong's surroundings to disguise himself, and to put it bluntly, it could only be said to be bad luck..
However, that unlucky person could have been Ae Yeon-ho, Myeong Il-o, or Zhuge So-young. There were also cases, like Kwak Du-yong, who survived simply because they were lucky..
This would never have happened if the blood religion had not moved to kill the White Water Dragon..
So, Baek Soo-ryong felt responsible for Jin Eui-hyeop’s death..
‘I'm sorry.’
Against Salmak, the best shooting organization in the midfield, Baek Soo-ryong achieved an absolutely overwhelming victory..
But it couldn't have been without damage..
At Cheongryong Academy, instructor Jin Eui-hyeop died, several instructors were injured, and among the students, there were injured children..
There were quite a few injured in the Murim Alliance, Gaejeong, and Gaengsaengmun, which formed the foundation of Cheonnajimang..
[Don't blame yourself. It was a force majeure that happened in a place you didn't know about..]
Changryongshingeom guessed Baeksuryong's feelings and comforted him in a soft voice. Baek Soo-ryong smiled bitterly and tapped the sword with his finger..
‘I don't blame myself. Just a little…….’
Attending the funeral of a dead colleague.
Even in my past life, I wasn't without experience. In fact, we saw a lot more deaths back then..
It was different now from the days when other people's deaths were considered insignificant..
only one person died.
As Cheonsal said, even though the damage is small enough to be considered selfish,.
‘I feel dirty.’
Baek Soo-ryong looked at the memorial tablet of Jinuihyeop..
I heard you have family back home..
parents and three younger siblings.
It is said that Jin Ui-hyeop was the eldest son of the family, and it is said that he was so proud of his parents that he distributed food to everyone in the village after joining Cheongryong Academy..
‘May your soul rest in peace..’
Through Bok Man-chun, he sent separate consolation money to the family and told them to provide support from the Baekryong Sangdan if there was anything that could be of help. I don't know how helpful it would be, but that was the best Baeksu-ryong could do..
‘If you are reincarnated like me, I hope you will be able to teach students without any worries..’
The funeral ended while Baek Soo-ryong was having a moment of idle imagination..
‘Or, maybe next time we could meet as teacher and student..’
People left the place one by one with stern expressions. Baeksu-ryong also bowed lightly towards the memorial tablet and then left..
The place where everyone left.
Hehehe-
A sudden wind blew, causing the chestnut memorial tablet to shake slightly and then become quiet again..
* * *
It took less than half a day for the rumor that Salmak's assassins had infiltrated the Cheongryong Academy to target the Blue Dragon Credit Union, and that they had fought with the assassins last night, spread throughout the city..
Naturally, the entire city became noisy, as if a beehive had been disturbed. It was because more than one person witnessed the fight between warriors and assassins last night..
Fortunately, there were no civilian casualties, but the fact that the assassination group moved as a group was enough to make people nervous..
The plan to launch the Cheonnajimang was carried out in utmost secrecy, but now that the fighting was over, the Murim Alliance decided to officially dispatch an investigation team..
Therefore, until the investigation is completed, Cheongryong Academic Center decided to suspend all classes. It was also a measure for the injured instructors and shocked students..
After attending the funeral, Baek Soo-ryong visited Mae Geuk-ryeom's residence..
“Grandfather. How are you feeling??”
“……It's gotten a lot better.”
At a glance, Mae Geukryeom, who was lying on the bed, looked like a seriously ill patient..
There were quite a few injuries sustained during the fight with Ilsal, and the internal injuries were also deep..
Although he was told by the congressman to calm down and calm down for a while, Mae Geuk-ryeom tried to pretend that it was no big deal in front of his grandson..
“After three days, you will be able to move like before, so don't worry too much..”
“Three days? There is no guess.”
Baek Moo-heun, who was brewing a decoction on one side, stepped aside..
“The doctor said to abstain for 10 days, but when did that change to 3 days??”
“Okay…….”
Baek Moo-heun approached while nagging and wiped Mae Geuk-ryeom's affected area with a clean cotton cloth and applied the salve with a familiar motion..
In addition, she personally brought the decocted herbal medicine and helped her sit up and eat. Her hands were delicate and skillful, like a medical woman who worked at a clinic for several years..
“……The medicine is bitter..”
“Then, will the medicine be good for you? I brought you sugar here, please eat it..”
“A noble guy…….”
Mae Geuk-ryeom frowned but obediently followed Baek Mu-heun's orders..
Baek Soo-ryong looked at his father with an expression of bewilderment..
“How are you so good at nursing??”
“Why would you do well??”
Baek Mu-heun put Mae Geuk-ryeom back on the bed and covered him with a blanket, then turned to his son and asked:.
“The congressman said I should stay still and rest for 10 days. Until then, don't worry, I will stick by your side and watch over your grandfather..”
“A pale guy…….”
“Still, when I offer my help, he doesn't call me a bastard.?”
“Was it a pity you didn’t call me??”
Baek Mu-heun chuckled at his father-in-law’s blunt response. Then he turned his head and looked at his son's complexion..
It was because I knew that my son also had a difficult fight, although not as much as my father-in-law..
“How is your body??”
“Well, I'm fine..”
Baeksu-ryong shrugged his shoulders and answered, and the Changryongshingeom trembled at his waist..
[Lying is not good.]
In fact, Baek Soo-ryong’s physical condition was not good..
Rather, it could be said to be bad..
Although it was only a small portion, the energy of the Reverse Heavenly Art was greatly increased in return for using the power of the blood demon's fingers..
Fortunately, with the help of the Changryongshingeom, I used the technique and there was no major danger, but if I had tried to control the technique on my own, I would have suffered fatal internal injuries..
In short, only the outside was fine, but the inside was extremely unstable..
‘What should I do? There's no way to do that..’
I felt like I could hear Changryong Shingeom’s deep sigh in my ears..
Because it was something that could not be known from the pulse, there was no way for other people to know Baek Soo-ryong’s physical condition unless he spoke..
But his father's tact was unusual..
“You too…….”
Baek Mu-heun narrowed his eyes, looked at his son's expression, and sighed with a pensive look on his face..
“It won't work. I can't go back because I'm worried about my son..”
“yes?”
It took a moment for Baek Soo-ryong to understand the meaning of those words, but his expression gradually became more and more subtly distorted..
“no way… … . I want to sit down here.?”
“Speaking habits. okay. I'm thinking of sitting down.”
Baek Mu-heun nodded. But the reason was not simply because I was worried about my son..
“If I go back to Baekmugwan like this, wouldn’t the people there be in danger because of me?.”
“……I hadn't thought of that..”
Anyway, Baek Mu-heun killed one of the elders of the Blood Cult..
There was a high probability that the blood religion would pay attention to him in the future..
It was said that if you return to Baekmugwan in this situation, the people around you may also be in danger..
“So, it's better to act like you just cleaned up and left without any regrets. When I go back later, I'll probably hear something from the villagers..”
“Well thought out..”
Baek Soo-ryong nodded and said.
“There are many empty rooms at Baekryongjang, so feel free to use them..”
But instead, Baek Mu-heun shook his head..
“Done. I have no intention of living with my grown son. I'll figure out where to stay..”
“Does your father have a lot of money? House prices in this neighborhood aren't usually expensive.…….”
“Where do I get the money? I'm broke because I've spent everything I've had on taking care of my son..”
Baek Soo-ryong cleared his throat at the words that pricked his conscience..
“Hmm. No, how can you say you have no money?…….”
Mae Geukryeom, who was lying down quietly, heard the conversation between father and son and intervened..
“I decided to lend it.”
Now I see that my father-in-law and son-in-law have already finished talking..
Baek Soo-ryong looked at his father with a distraught expression..
He is a half-hundred-year-old man, but why is he so anxious like a child thrown into the water?.
“You'd better ask me to do it. Wouldn’t it be better to borrow from your son than to borrow from your father-in-law??”
“Do you really want to get hit??”
When Baek Mu-heun grabbed the camel for making the decoction, Baek Soo-ryong flinched and slightly pulled his upper body back..
“Even though I don't have anything now, I'm not at the point where I feel indebted to my son yet. And who is begging you? I have a plan to pay it all off by working..”
As Baek Soo-ryong, I couldn't understand why he was building up his pride over something like this..
“what's going on?”
“Since teaching martial arts is what I have been doing for over ten years, I am planning to open a small military academy here as well. I wonder if it would be a good idea to open a basic martial arts class for adults to improve their health..”
“Because he’s a military officer…….”
Baek Soo-ryong felt a little strange that his father was opening a military academy near the Cheongryong Academic Center..
“……Speaking of which, do you mind if I sell my son’s wife??”
“He tells me to go and teach him.?”
“That's not it.”
Baek Mu-heun glanced back at Mae Geuk-ryeom and lowered his voice to whisper..
“Just come once or twice and check their posture. Wouldn't people be interested if we put on a poster that Cheongryong Credit Union provides direct guidance??”
“This guy… … If you tell me to just listen, you're trying to scam me.!”
“Now, father-in-law. Are you not sleeping??”
Mae Geuk-ryeom, who was thought to be asleep, opened his eyes and was glaring at Baek Mu-heun..
“I thought you'd changed your mind as you got older, but you still haven't let go of your crazy temperament.!”
“Your son-in-law and a graduate of Cheongryong Academy says he wants to help his son make a living. Are you so dissatisfied with that??”
“I have to speak clearly, why are you a graduate of Blue Dragon Academy? Didn’t you take my daughter and run away at night before she graduated?!”
“……No, I still went to the fourth grade.?”
“I went there? This bastard is now trying to match me.!”
Just when you think their relationship has improved, the two bicker again like a dog and a monkey..
“Phew… … . Hahaha!”
Baek Soo-ryong, who was watching their childish argument, eventually couldn't hold back and burst into laughter..
My somewhat depressed feelings about Jin Medical Association's funeral disappeared in an instant..
