Chapter 409
409fury. not interested
Perhaps because the heavy atmosphere was awkward, Noh Gun-sang looked around at the empty table and smiled sheepishly..
“Oh my, I was so distracted that I didn't make you a cup of tea. Please wait a moment.”
“no.”
Baek Soo-ryong stood up after stopping Noh Gun-sang, who was preparing to make tea..
“I'll just wake up now.”
“It's been a while since I came and I'm already ready to go?”
“Isn’t the governor busy too? Thank you so much for your time. I will not forget what you said today..”
Baek Soo-ryong politely took the gun. His expression and attitude showed his respect for the old man..
“Heh heh. What is your advice? It's just an old man's nagging.”
Even though Noh Gun-sang knew the truth, he did not ask Baek Soo-ryong anything..
I didn't ask how I learned the blood demon's martial arts skills, nor did I doubt or threaten him..
I was just giving some sincere advice..
This is only possible if you completely trust the person named Baek Soo-ryong..
Baek Soo-ryong honestly didn't understand why people trusted him so much..
But I could clearly feel that his good intentions were sincere..
Baek Soo-ryong said with a solemn expression..
“Until the owner leaves, I will do my best to repay you by working..”
“……Quit. If you work harder than you do now, your grandfather will try to kill me..”
Noh Gun-sang shook his head and said with a grin..
“And don't treat me like I'm already gone. A successor has not been decided yet, and I will remain as governor until this year's Tianwu Festival..”
“Of course. As a gift for my retirement, I will show you my victory in the Emperor of Heaven..”
“That's a gift I really like..”
The two people looked at each other and laughed. After that, Noh Gunsang resumed his backlog of work, and Baek Soo-ryong turned around and left the office..
[I knew it before, but the head of the Blue Dragon School is a good person..]
Changryong Shingeom’s voice was unusually bright..
She was also worried that Baek Soo-ryong would get into trouble, but fortunately, she seemed relieved that things worked out well..
‘I had a close relationship with the governor.?’
[We met often at meetings of the five universities. He was a warrior who always had a smiling face, but had an air of desperation.…….]
The old man she met again when she arrived at the Cheongryong Academy after inhabiting the Changryong Divine Sword was not an old man who only smiled like before..
[I thought something had changed when I arrived at the Blue Dragon Hall with you, but it is no exaggeration to say that I am a completely different person now..]
Changryong Shingeom said that it is assumed that Noh Gun-sang has been thinking a lot over the past few days and has come to some kind of enlightenment..
[My airway was surprisingly clear and stable. Like a monk who attained enlightenment after much patience.]
‘I also felt that Gwanju’s prayers had changed. perhaps…….’
Baek Soo-ryong turned his head and looked at the governor’s office..
Suddenly, I had a feeling that although the head of the Cheongryonghak Hall, Roh Kun-sang, would step down from his position at the end of this year, the era of the unmanned Roh Kun-sang might begin anew..
[After all, you are a being with a fate that is reversed..]
‘What are you talking about suddenly??’
[He changes the fate of all the people around him, so what else is that but the power of reverse heaven??]
I thought it was a serious story, but it turned out to be a joke of its own..
Baek Soo-ryong chuckled and tapped the sword with his finger..
“If it's that kind of reverse, you're welcome..”
Baek Soo-ryong left the governor's office and crossed the main hall to the office..
Students can only do personal training until classes resume, but instructors have more work to do than before..
Not only do we have to readjust our class schedules to accommodate the delayed academic schedule..
We had to check each and every facility that was broken due to the fight with the sprayers and classroom supplies that were missing..
Moreover, in the case of Baek Soo-ryong, there was something he had to do as chairman of the Cheon Mu-je proceedings committee. There was literally a mountain of paperwork to process..
But before that,
There was one last person I needed to talk to..
“I don't think I'd ask about that kid's personality first, but... … . You must be thinking strangely.”
Changryong Shingeom also agreed with that statement..
[Since I felt the energy of the Reverse Heavenly Art at the closest location that day, of course I would have doubts..]
Baek Mu-heun had already guessed that his son had mastered the Reverse Heavenly Art..
Noh Gun-sang's worries were for naught and the story turned out well..
but the last one.
What is Confucius of the Namgung family, who lost many of his family members due to blood religion, thinking??
“You'll know when you meet.”
After a while, Baek Soo-ryong entered Nam Gung-su's office..
It was a confident step, as if entering one's own office..
“I came.”
* * *
“…….”
Namgungsu only glanced at Baek Soo-ryong with a disapproving gaze, then immediately turned his attention back to the document he was looking at..
However, as Baek Soo-ryong sat down on the chair across from him, took out a bunch of documents, and began to prepare for work in earnest, deep wrinkles appeared between Nam Gung-su's eyebrows..
“……Why is it my office??”
“This place is the widest and cleanest..”
“Have you ever thought that your presence contaminates that purity??”
“I haven't tried it?”
Kkukit…….
Namgungsu crumpled the documents he was holding and glared at Baek Soo-ryong with a cold gaze. Bright yellow golden eyes shone eerily..
If it had been any other instructor, he would have immediately apologized profusely and stepped down, but Baek Soo-ryong committed the atrocity of taking out more documents and making a mess on his desk..
“I think you came here because you like me.?”
If it were normal, no matter how Baek Soo-ryong was, he wouldn't have been able to break into Namgung-soo's office and go this far..
But the current Baek Soo-ryong had a just cause..
“Well, who wants to destroy someone else's office??”
“…….”
“He dropped his brain so hard that he was smashed to pieces. The desk and chair are all broken, so I can't work there even if I want to, so what should I do??”
“……that.”
“You're not trying to kick me out because I'm the victim in this situation.?”
“…….”
It wasn’t that Namgungsu had nothing to say at all..
He just killed the assassins who infiltrated the Blue Dragon Academy..
In the process, 'some' damage to property was inevitable..
It was just a coincidence that Baek Soo-ryong's office was among them..
“……Going to Baekryongjang and working is?”
“Working from home reduces efficiency. Someone who knows?”
Baek Soo-ryong started working without even looking at Nam Gung-su..
In the end, Namgungsu gave up. Even if I said more, I realized that it was impossible to kick Baek Soo-ryong out of the office..
“…….”
“…….”
The two sat across from the desk and worked individually..
In the quiet office, the only sounds for a while were the sound of paper being turned or something being scribbled with a brush..
Then once in a while.
“Namgoongsu. Where are the records from last year's Tianwu Emperor's Suzaku Academy??”
“Second drawer from top right.”
“……I don't have it?”
“It's right by my standards..”
And then I got so absorbed in work again that I didn't say anything for a while..
“White Water Dragon. Where is the material you organized during your mock war class??”
“Oh, someone struck my office with lightning and it burned down..”
“…….”
“Just kidding, check out the box there. It's probably somewhere in the middle.”
“It was a boring joke.”
“Your jokes are the funniest in the Blue Dragon Academy.?”
“i am not joking.”
And then we all focused on our work again..
“How are your students these days??”
“It looks like you're a bit shocked. I'm letting it rest for now.”
“Is this a situation that requires psychological counseling? I know a competent legislator in that area..”
“Not to that extent. And who is better than me in psychological counseling and treatment??”
“Your way... … Done.”
The two instructors talked whenever necessary while working separately. And then they repeated to focus on their own work again..
Both of them were the best workaholics in the Blue Dragon Academy, and their concentration was incredible..
The work that started during the day continued until the sun went down and it became night. Until then, the two worked without ever seeing each other. It was often the same when we talked.
“Phew-”
Baek Soo-ryong stretched out after finishing the urgent work..
Namgoongsu was still working with the same expression and posture..
“Namgoongsu.”
“speak.”
“Aren’t you curious??”
“business exactly.”
The expressionless face was still focused on the documents..
Baek Soo-ryong thought for a moment and then said:.
“……What I told you not to see. Aren’t you curious what that was?.”
At that moment, Namgoongsu’s hand, which was flipping through documents, stopped..
There was no way I wasn't curious..
The aura of the Reverse Heavenly Demonic Art was the most subversive in the world, and it was the complete opposite of the martial arts of the right faction..
Namgoongsu felt that energy closer than anyone else, behind his back..
[What would you say if asked??]
‘well…….’
If I were my past self, I wouldn't have even worried about this..
Because I learned that revealing your weaknesses means death..
They would have tried to deceive, deceive, and at least exploit the other person's weaknesses by lying..
Baek Soo-ryong was still confident that he could do those things well..
Just like I did to a thousand years ago just a little while ago..
But I didn't want to do that now..
-Martial arts is just martial arts..
Baek Soo-ryong, who went to lie, was advised by Noh Gun-sang that martial arts is just martial arts..
‘If Namgoongsu asks… … . maybe…….’
At that time, Namgungsu said indifferently as he flipped through the documents..
“not interested.”
“……I'm not interested?”
Namgungsu let out a small sigh and put down his documents and looked at Baek Soo-ryong..
It was a face I met a few hours after I started working..
“It doesn't matter exactly. I promised not to see whatever secret you were hiding. And I kept it.”
“…….”
“I don't know why I'm suddenly bringing up a story that's already over..”
The expression on his face where he clicked his tongue as if he couldn't understand seemed like he wasn't really interested..
Baek Soo-ryong then became rather embarrassed, scratched his cheek and said,.
“Even if I ask again later, they won't tell me?”
“You think I'm so free.”
Namgungsu frowned and reviewed the documents again. However, because of the gaze staring at me, I couldn't concentrate, so I raised my head again..
Baek Su-ryong was grinning..
“What else??”
“If it's over, let's get off work together. I'll buy you a drink.”
But at that moment, Namgoongsu spoke with a more determined expression and voice than ever before..
“There is no end to work.”
“……You really are a terrible person, you too..”
Baek Soo-ryong shook his head and stood up. When I got home, I packed a few documents into my purse to look at..
While organizing his place, Baek Soo-ryong found something in a pile of documents..
“what is this?”
It was a letter addressed to Baek Soo-ryong. It came a few days ago, but I was busy with the Blue Dragon Festival and everything, so I put it aside and forgot about it..
“There is no sender listed.?”
Before that, Baek Soo-ryong often received letters from unknown senders, so Baek Soo-ryong thought nothing of it and broke the seal on the letter. Still, I tended to throw away the content after reading it..
“uh?”
However, Baek Soo-ryong's face, which was reading the contents indifferently at first, gradually became brighter..
“I could read that when I get home.?”
Namgungsu glared at Baeksuryong with an annoyed expression..
Of course, Baek Soo-ryong read the letter on the spot, and the smile on his face did not go away as he read it..
“haha…….”
At the end of the letter, the sender's name was written in a warrior's handwriting..
-Posted by Gongsunsu, the first graduate of Baekryongjang and the best student of Blueryong Credit Union..
