Chapter 411
411fury. It's not that bad
dripping-
The students' heads suddenly turned at the sound of a knock on the door from outside. Everyone had a stern expression..
Currently, a poster has been posted on the main gate of Baekryongjang that reads, ‘We will not be accepting guests for a while.’.
However, the reason the students' expressions hardened was not simply because of that reason..
‘There was no sign at all…….’
‘No one knew until they got to the front door.?’
‘who at this time?’
Cheongryonggomang quickly exchanged glances..
There had been a recent attack by assassins, so everyone was more alert than usual..
Nevertheless, the fact that no one noticed until someone arrived at the front door means that the other person hid their presence well..
And the people who hid their presence better than anyone else were Salsu..
“……Are you there??”
low and quiet woman's voice.
First of all, the students were somewhat relieved that their opponent had made a show of popularity first..
However, I did not completely relax my mind..
Geo Sang-woong, who had the least injuries among the Blue Dragon Five Mangs, stepped forward..
“I'll go.”
“I will go with you too..”
Dok Go-jun caught up next to Geo Sang-woong..
The other students slowly followed the two, tensing their bodies so that they could fight at any time..
Geo Sang-woong, standing in front of the gate, raised his voice and spoke..
“Please tell us your name and purpose.!”
The person on the other side of the door seemed to hesitate for a moment, then lowered his voice and spoke..
“…… I came to see Mr. Baek Soo-ryong of the Blue Dragon Credit Union. I think I will have to meet you in person to discuss the details..”
Geo Sang-woong snorted as if he had no idea..
Until recently, there were several warriors visiting Baekryongjang every day for similar reasons..
Moreover, the other party did not reveal his identity and purpose..
Baekryongjang was not an easy place to let in a very suspicious person..
“Baekryongjang is currently not accepting guests! I'm sorry, but please go back.!”
Geo Sang-woong said, clenching his fists tightly in preparation for any unexpected situation..
If the person on the other side of the door forced open the door and came in, I planned to use force to kick them out..
Of course, no sane person would think of attacking the house of the Ten Lords of Wulin, but there was no harm in being prepared..
After a while, I heard a troubled voice muttering from beyond the door..
“My father must have sent a letter in advance.…….”
“letter?”
Geo Sang-woong, who was tilting his head, recalled what Baek Su-ryong said last night..
- Guests may come when I am not there. If anyone comes to me by saying this name, be polite and take them inside and let me know right away..
“……What is the name of the person who sent the letter??”
“The Chinese character Su (秀) is used for Mr. Gongsun..”
Hearing the other person's low but gentle voice, Heonwon-gang, who had been tilting his head behind him, remembered something and stepped forward..
“This voice could not be... … . Get out of the way!”
Heonwon-gang pushed Geo Sang-woong and Dok Go-jun forward and opened the gate wide without anyone trying to stop him..
In front of the gate stood a woman dressed in light blue uniform..
Clear features with somewhat sharp eyes.
He wore a sharp sword at his waist, and the moment we stood face to face, I could faintly sense his deep prayers..
“uh……?”
Heon Won-gang was momentarily taken aback by the other person's mood, which had changed greatly from his past memories, but he soon saw his face and shouted in a happy voice..
“Heukyeong's sister!”
“This is Heukyoung’s sister.?”
Almost at the same time, Wi Ji-cheon also ran out like a puppy..
Heukyeong smiled softly at the two boys..
“It's been a while for both of you.”
However, the two boys looked at her with faces that were half glad and half surprised that Black Spirit's mood had changed so much..
“Oh, you're really Heukyeong's sister, right??”
“The atmosphere has completely changed.…….”
They both had a dazed look on their faces..
It looks very different from when I visited Baekryongjang under the escort of Gongsun Soo in the past..
At the time, Heukyeong was a cool-headed guard warrior who would not spill a single drop of blood even if he was stabbed. It's hard to even imagine smiling like this.
“If you don’t believe me, you can check to see if it’s a human skin mask..”
Heukyeong looked back and said.
Before she arrived here, she also heard a rumor that assassins attacked the Blue Dragon Science Museum..
I rushed to see them just in case, but when I saw them in person, fortunately, neither of them seemed to have any major injuries..
‘Don't you really need to check it out??’
It was when Heonwon-gang reached out his hand to Heukyeong’s face without realizing it..
slap!
Before he knew it, Yeomin, who had hit Heonwongang's hand away with a fan, apologized to Heukyeong instead..
“What are you doing so rudely to your guests? sorry. As you probably already know, he is far from common sense..”
“it's okay.”
Heukyeong smiled and nodded..
And I looked inside Baekryongjang with a nostalgic expression..
The time she spent here with Gongsunsu was only a month, but every single day was a precious memory..
‘Although it has changed a lot since then.’
The internal structure seemed to have changed a bit, and I saw many faces I had never seen before. Baekryongjang looked much more lively than before..
Heukyeong smiled unconsciously and asked Heonwongang..
“Can I go in now??”
Heonwon-gang, who came to his senses belatedly, guided Heukyeong inside..
“Oh, of course! Come in! Everyone relax! You know me well!”
“Wongang. I think you were the most nervous.…….”
But the black spirit did not come alone..
Behind her, a woman with an elegant appearance was standing quietly, and even at a glance, she had an unusual atmosphere..
Wi Ji-cheon asked Heuk-yeong.
“Who is with you??”
Heukyeong smiled mischievously and answered..
“the one your teacher was looking for.”
“……?”
Sabak.
The woman who followed the black spirit through the gate of the White Dragon Hall smiled softly and said,.
“Is the Blue Dragon Credit Union inside??”
She was the guest who came to see Baek Soo-ryong, whom Gongsun Soo mentioned..
* * *
“No, that street is not good for a military officer.?”
“What can I do if I don't have enough money? My father-in-law lived so frugally that he didn't even know the prices..”
Baek Mu-heun sighed heavily..
The plan to open a military branch was not easy from the beginning..
The cost of renting a manor alone was beyond imagination, but that wasn't the only cost involved. The territorial aggression of the surrounding military officers has not even begun yet..
“……So that's it. do you have some money?”
“At some point you said you didn't want to be indebted to your son.?”
“Hmm. That was that time…….”
It was when Baek Mu-heun was sipping tea with an embarrassed expression..
“Sorry for the conversation.”
The father and son's heads turned at the same time at the cold voice..
Namgungsu, who was concentrating on his documents, raised his head and was glaring at them..
“Do you really need to have a conversation between father and son in my office??”
When Namgungsu flashed his golden eyes, it seemed as if lightning had struck inside..
A normal person would feel numb and run away just from making eye contact with those eyes, but the opponent was Baek Soo-ryong and his father..
“Heh heh. I'm sorry. My voice was a little loud?”
On one side of Namgungsu's office, there was a table and chairs for receiving guests, and Baek Soo-ryong and Baek Mu-heun were currently sitting there facing each other..
Namgungsu regretted not getting rid of it earlier..
“I'll be gone soon, so don't be angry. However, I heard from Su-ryong that since it is a shared office, he can stay as much as he wants.…….”
‘Namgung- su glared at Baek Soo-ryong as if he were going to kill him when he heard the words 'joint office', but Baek Soo-ryong only slightly turned away from his gaze..
“Because someone trashed my office. I have no choice but to share this place until everything is repaired..”
“Oh my. It must be a lot of inconvenience because of that person..”
“That's right. I couldn't even invite my father to the office and make him a cup of tea.…….”
“I'm fine. The old dad will go out and get some fresh air, so why not do some work?.”
At the words that pricked his conscience, Namgoongsu’s expression subtly distorted..
‘rich people in pairs…….’
Nam Gung-su sighed and said something he didn't mean to Baek Mu-heun, who was trying to get up from his seat..
“……I didn't mean to tell you to get out. I just wish you would lower your voice a little..”
“Heh heh. I understand. I'll be quiet so you don't care about me anymore!”
But the office never became quiet..
“teacher!”
The office door was thrown open and Heonwon River came in..
“teacher! teacher! I brought a guest! There is this customer that Grandpa was talking about! Outside the hallway now……!”
Heonwon River usually acts before thinking, but he was so excited today that he didn't care about the place..
Of course the price was high.
“Wongang. I think you'll be grilled by Namgoongsu soon.?”
“yes?”
“Heonwon-gang student. Come here.”
“……!!”
Heonwon-gang, who had belatedly started to think, was called in front of him by Namgung-su's somber voice..
“Who on earth came outside??”
Baek Soo-ryong opened the office door and went out into the hallway because he didn't want to cause any more trouble to Nam Gung-su..
I knew that a guest was coming, but I still didn't know its identity..
“uh?”
Baek Soo-ryong's eyes widened as he spotted a familiar yet unfamiliar face walking from the other side..
“black spirit!”
“It's been a while.”
Baek Soo-ryong was just as surprised as his disciples..
Because her impression had changed so much since the last time I saw her..
‘He seems like a completely different person. Martial arts have also become considerably stronger..’
He was originally a black spirit who received advanced assassination training..
But now, the feeling of assassination has largely disappeared, and traces of proper martial arts skills are visible. It was also a fairly strong martial arts attack..
“How long has it been since this? You were the person the old man talked about?”
“Let me correct one thing: I am no longer a dark spirit..”
“hmm?”
She grinned, took her arms, and formally introduced her name..
“Let me greet you for the first time. It's called Gongsonyoung..”
“……!!”
Baek Soo-ryong's eyes widened in surprise, but then he smiled brightly..
politeness.
How can you not know the meaning of that name?.
It meant that Gongsun Su had officially adopted her as his adopted daughter..
“haha! Why are you telling me this good news now??”
For some reason, the letter Gongsun Soo sent said almost nothing about Heukyeong..
It seemed like they wanted to meet in person to clear things up and talk..
Gongsunyoung said with a smile..
“I also have a lot of stories I want to share... … . Before that, I think I should first introduce the guests who came with us..”
As Heukyeong took a step to the side, the woman who had been quietly following him stepped forward and elegantly took a hand in the arms..
“It is called Jahyeon. I received an order to retrieve the reward plaque from my teacher, so I went to the Blue Dragon Credit Union..”
“This is Baek Su-ryong. If you say it's a favor, whose is it?……?”
Baek Soo-ryong also faced him with a gun and asked with a puzzled expression..
Jahyeon.
It was a name I had never heard of before. It was said that he was not a master with a reputation as a powerhouse..
It seemed like he had mastered martial arts to a considerable level, but strangely enough, I couldn't feel the martial artist's unique temperament..
‘I don't think I'm an ordinary person…….’
[The God of Life and Death is my teacher..]
Baek Soo-ryong’s eyes widened at the sound he heard at that moment..
‘A disciple of the will of life and death?’
How much has he found the will to live and die so far?.
In order to completely change the constitution, to change the transsyllable vein into the heavenly sin vein and stabilize the energy of the unstable reverse heavenly body..
What was absolutely necessary for the Great Law was a legislator who had reached the level of immortality..
“……When you say you're collecting a token of gratitude, I'm sure you're not just asking for it to be returned.?”
“I heard from an old man that the Blue Dragon Credit Union is looking for a teacher. Perhaps he wants to ask you a favor that requires a favor..”
The ‘elder’ that Ja-hyeon was talking about was Gongsunsu, a minister. It was expressed indirectly, considering the listening ears of those around us..
Baek Soo-ryong did not deny it and nodded..
“……you're right. When I meet him, I will give him a favor and ask him a favor..”
“Master said so too. And he told me to retrieve the reward plaque..”
In other words, it was a story that Jahyeon would grant a favor that would allow him to use a gratuity card in exchange for his trust in life and death..
Baek Soo-ryong frowned and said..
“I'm sorry to say this, but it's too late to just trust and ask.…….”
You would have understood it well without saying anything..
It meant that you have the power of a god of life and death..
“Of course, my abilities are not as good as yours. but.”
Jahyeon spoke with a calm expression, never offended or conceited..
“Whatever Blue Dragon Credit Union wants, if it is necessary for a member of the National Assembly, we will be able to achieve it. And if it's not possible with my abilities, I won't accept the reward..”
Baek Soo-ryong nodded at those words..
There was no need for it to be a will of life and death..
Since Gongsunsu personally introduced him, his identity must have been clear, and his abilities certainly seemed extraordinary..
‘Your mouth looks heavy too.’
Baek Soo-ryong decided to talk a little more with Ja-hyeon..
“I don't think it's worth going into detail here. Let's change seats..”
At that time, Jahyeon looked at Baek Soo-ryong’s complexion and said,.
“Your complexion is very bad. If you don't mind, could I take your pulse for a moment??”
“Yeah, well… … . All right.”
Baek Soo-ryong nodded and handed over his wrist..
I also got a little curious. I was curious to see how far Ja-hyeon could find out with just the pulse..
However, didn’t Jahyun’s expression become more serious in that short period of time?.
“How did it get to this point?…….”
Baek Soo-ryong asked with a shocked expression..
“I've been a bit tired these days. Is it very bad??”
Jahyeon muttered with an expression of incomprehension. The face looking at Baek Su-ryong was like looking at a ghost..
“It's not that bad. How can you have a body like this? … . It's a miracle you're still alive.”
The moment Baek Soo-ryong heard those words, he heard the sound of something breaking behind him..
Clink!
It was the sound of the teacup that Baek Muheun was holding falling to the floor..
