Chapter 488

488fury. What's the problem??

Namgungsu raised his head and looked at Baeksuryong with a cold expression..

“What should we do now??”

I thought he had left work early because he left the office without saying a word, but when he came back about half an hour later, he asked me why he was talking about Sandongak, which I had no interest in..

“I didn't know much, but I heard it's quite common for the Murim family to adopt children? In particular, it is said that after King Chang became the head of the Shandongakga, many adopted sons were used to expand its size.…….”

“Do you think I, a direct descendant of the Namgung family, don’t even know that??”

In response to Namgungsu's sighing reaction with his eyebrows furrowed, Baek Soo-ryong shrugged his shoulders and asked:.

“Then did you know that Akh Yeon-ho was adopted son??”

“…….”

Namgoongsu’s slightly trembling eyelashes were the answer..

I didn't know until then.

Baek Soo-ryong smiled and continued as if he knew that would happen..

“Yeonho guy. It seems like he grew up with a lot of attention from his family since he was young. That's why I reacted so sensitively earlier..”

Baek Soo-ryong recalled the story he heard from Myung Il-o before returning to the office..

Among them, there were some that I couldn't tell Namgungsu..

- It is said that Yeonho was adopted into an evil family when he was seven years old. At that time, the music family adopted many orphans who showed talent in martial arts.…….

Myung Il-o bit his lip as if he was getting angry even thinking about it again and continued speaking..

- I think they evaluated them once a year, and if they didn't meet the standards they set, they were dismissed and made into servants or trained as low-level warriors..

-How can that be……!

Unlike Zhuge Xiaoying, who got angry with a pale face, Baek Soo-ryong asked with a calm expression..

-……so?

-Yeonho said that he was lucky enough to be given the surname Ak..

The nobleman of the evil family who thought he had lived a wrinkle-free life had an unexpected past..

Even though the children were abandoned, they eventually remained in the Shandong Yue family and became servants or low-level warriors..

Because of this, the Ak family was able to avoid criticism for abandoning young children, and since most of them were left in the family, the rumor itself rarely spread..

-That's so cowardly!

-……so?

It was said that the fate of equally adopted children changed each year after the exam..

That period was five years.

Ak Yeon-ho, who passed the exam until the end, officially became a member of the Ak family, but due to undisclosed 'personal circumstances', he was unable to join the gang until he was 26..

-……What is the extent of the family? You must have been busy paying attention since you were young..

Through the story he heard from Myeong Il-oh, Baek Soo-ryong was able to get some idea of ​​what the environment in which Ak Yeon-ho lived was like..

The children who passed the final exam were sent to the relatives of the Ak family, and among them, the one who accepted Ak Yeon-ho was a man named Ak Jin-heon, a cousin of King Ak Fei of Chang..

-It didn't seem like his relationship with his adoptive father was particularly bad... … It looks a little awkward.

King Akebi of Chang brought many children to increase the power of his family, but he said that he never adopted them himself..

-Maybe that’s why Yeonho is that guy. The evil family head was having a hard time..

-Didn't you guys receive lessons from King Chang together during summer vacation??

- Actually, that too was rejected at first. When Yeonho said that he and his brother were close friends, he reluctantly accepted it..

-…….

- Even that was just a quick look once every three or four days, and it wasn't at a level that could be called guidance. Most of the conversations we had were questions about my brother. Cheongryong Shinhyeop, such as what kind of martial arts they use, what their actual personality is like, and what their family is like.…….

The whole time he was talking about Changwang Yue Fei, Myeong Il-oh's expression was stiff. It was by no means an expression you would make while remembering your benefactor who taught you martial arts..

-To be honest, it's a little... … No, he was very different from what I thought..

changwang aebi.

The head of the Shandong music family and the Ten Masters of Murim.

He was a man known as the best spearman in the world when it came to spearmanship..

The evaluation of Yue Fei was divided into two. Some said that he was an outstanding head of the family who would make the Shandong Yue family go beyond the Five Dynasties and become the best in the world, while others criticized him for being an ambitious man who would do anything to expand the family's power..

That was all Myung Il-o knew. He said he did not ask for any further details because he thought Ak Yeon-ho would be uncomfortable..

“So, Yeonho must have had his own circumstances..”

As Baek Soo-ryong told him various stories, Nam Gung-su frowned..

“I would have said I wasn't interested..”

“really? I thought you were really paying attention because you were frowning earlier..”

“…….”

bastard and adopted son.

Of course, Namgungsu's current position has changed a lot, but he was similar in that he was in a position where he had no choice but to have a sense of inferiority in his family..

Namgungsu was silent for a moment and sighed softly..

“When did you start acting like that??”

“I?”

“Before, I thought you didn't care what other people were doing, but these days, you're meddling here and there..”

When Namgungsu frowned disapprovingly, Baek Soo-ryong smiled slyly..

“You have to speak straight. I'm not interfering anywhere..”

Baek Soo-ryong crossed his arms and spoke with a shamelessly confident expression..

“I only interfere with people who are important to me. Even if you and Yeonho blush at each other, it won't help the Blue Dragon Academy or the Emperor Cheonmu..”

“……That's called pointless meddling..”

Namgoongsu shook his head, cleared his place and stood up..

“I will leave work first today.”

“already?”

“I can't concentrate at the office because someone keeps interrupting me..”

It wasn't just something I said. Namgungsu gathered his documents and resolutely left the office..

thud!

“……It's really going?”

Baek Soo-ryong looked at the door that Namgungsu had closed with an expression of bewilderment. I thought he might come back midway, but that didn't happen..

“Well, it's nice and comfortable for me to work alone..”

However, Baek Soo-ryong, who had been working alone for a while, also cleaned up earlier than usual..

[I'm leaving work before the stars are visible. Seeing the sunset is so moving..]

“It's so overwhelming.”

When Changryong Shingeom trembled with a voice of excitement, Baeksuryong smiled sheepishly..

I was definitely on my way home from work earlier than usual. There were quite a few students remaining in the academy, and most of them were talking about the same topic..

Murmur.

“I saw your school trip poster posted.?!”

“They said they are also inviting masters from Shandong Akga this time.?”

“Even more than that, I’m really looking forward to collaborating with Suzaku Academy! You were runner-up in last year’s Cheonmu Festival.!”

I could feel that everyone was very excited about the school trip that would take place in a few days..

“……But will it be okay? Rumor has it that the kids at Jujak Academy are very arrogant... … Are you just ignoring us??”

Occasionally, there were timid students who were intimidated by the name Jujakhakgwan, but such cases were only a minority..

“What's wrong with last year's runner-up? Our goal is to win this year.!”

“If they ignore us, will the Blue Dragon Omani stay silent??”

“I'm more worried that our teachers will go crazy.”

“ha ha ha! That too!”

It was only half a joke, but now most of the students were talking about Blue Dragon Academy's victory in the Heavenly War Emperor..

It was an amazing change compared to the first time. Baek Soo-ryong crossed the academy building, feeling the changing atmosphere everywhere..

‘Come to think of it, I don't know if Sima Ying is well..’

Baek Soo-ryong remembered the ambitious woman who tried to recruit him to the Jujak Academy. Perhaps we could meet again on the field trip..

Although the joint class with Baekho Academy was canceled because the schedule did not match... … At this opportunity, you will be able to see for yourself the level of Suzaku Academy..

Baek Soo-ryong was walking while thinking about various things when he felt a familiar presence..

On the roof of the boys' dormitory, Ak Yeon-ho was sitting with his shoulders slumped..

“I was trembling in a place like that..”

White Water Dragon clicked his tongue and lightly kicked the ground..

whirring!

Baek Soo-ryong climbed up the wall of the building in one go and landed lightly next to Yeon-ho Ak..

“I heard you left work first because you weren’t feeling well? Was it a trick??”

“older brother…….”

Ak Yeon-ho smiled helplessly and looked at Baek Soo-ryong..

Baek Soo-ryong didn't like that dull look, so he hit Yeon-ho Ak on the back of the head with his palm..

“Ouch! Why are you hitting me all of a sudden?!”

“I don’t like how you look like some kind of sick chicken..”

After saying that, Baek Soo-ryong sat down next to Yeon-ho Akh, then lay down and looked at the sky..

Clouds were slowly flowing in the sunset-colored sky. Baek Su-ryong looked at the scene and spoke in passing..

“They say you are adopted son?”

“……Did you hear it from Il-oh? No, rather, I just lay down and ask questions about other people’s painful past.?!”

To Ak Yeon-ho's questioning question, Baek Soo-ryong snorted and asked, "What's the big deal?".

“What kind of painful past does a grown man have with something like that? If an orphan is adopted by a rich family and grows up learning martial arts, wearing nice clothes, and eating delicious food, he or she should be considered lucky. They say there are many children like you who didn't get a last name and became servants.?”

“Wow, look at you just saying it’s someone else’s story.…….”

Ak Yeon-ho grumbled with an expression of bewilderment, but then burst into laughter..

It was because he knew that Baek Soo-ryong’s way of treating serious matters as if they were no big deal was his own way of comforting himself..

“sorry. I'm just a little distraught... … I did something ridiculous and unreasonable..”

“All you need to know is.”

“I would like to formally apologize to Mr. Namgoongsu tomorrow..”

“okay. That kid pretends not to care, but he secretly cares.?”

“I'm sure I won't be cut off.?”

“hmm. It could be because it was out of the eye of Ilta instructor..”

“thank god. If that's the case, my brother should have been fired a long time ago, but seeing as he hasn't been fired yet, I guess it's okay for me too..”

“……This bastard?”

As Baek Soo-ryong glared at him, Ak Yeon-ho giggled and then laid down on the roof and looked at the sky..

Then, after being blank for a moment, I muttered to myself..

“If you had told me in advance, I would have prevented it somehow.…….”

“…….”

The moment Baek Soo-ryong heard that bitter voice, he realized that Yeon-ho Akh was still hiding something more..

It's probably related to 'personal circumstances' that he didn't even tell Myung Il-oh about. That's why Baek Su-ryong didn't bother to ask..

“Yeonho.”

Instead, Baek Soo-ryong naturally changed the topic..

“yes?”

“Your matriarch. Should I beat you up hard??”

“……I'm crazy?”

At the mention of the head of the Shandong music family as if he were some kind of local paradise, Ak Yeon-ho was so startled that he jumped up..

However, Baek Soo-ryong’s expression did not look like he was simply joking. He was still looking at the sky with a relaxed expression. In fact, it seemed more sincere..

“What's the problem? Do you think I'm stronger than your matriarch? At this point, I’m going to take off the label of the Ten Master Stones..”

“under…….”

Seeing Baek Soo-ryong’s calmness as he casually tells an incredible story, Ak Yeon-ho ends up saying, “Hahahaha!” I burst out laughing..

I looked so closely that I forgot about it. What kind of person was Baek Soo-ryong?.

An eccentric new instructor at the Blue Dragon Academy who is a peerless expert who enjoys a reputation equal to that of the head of the family whom he so fears, but who does not reveal any particular authority..

The moment Ak Yeon-ho realized that fact, he felt as if the presence of the matriarch that had been placed heavily in his heart was diminishing..

“……Thank you, brother. But I don't think that's necessary..”

As Yeonho smiled softly and shook his head, Baeksuryong also nodded without mentioning the same topic anymore..

“Well then shall we slowly go down now??”

“yes!”

They jumped lightly from the roof of the dormitory..

“I'm going to go to the office.!”

Ak Yeon-ho returned to the office, saying he would take care of unfinished work. Baek Soo-ryong clicked his tongue as he looked at the back of his classmate, who seemed to have regained some energy..

“Tsk tsk. Take some rest on days like today. What kind of overtime work are you doing?.”

[……What did you say??]

On the way back home while listening to Changryong Shingeom’s nagging..

After leaving work early for the first time in a while, Baek Soo-ryong stopped by the market to buy some groceries and headed to Baekryongjang with the intention of having dinner with his students..

Baek Soo-ryong tilted his head at the loud noise coming from beyond the wall..

“Did you bring any friends? It's noisy from afar.”

However, the closer he got to Baekryongjang, the more his expression hardened, and before he knew it, he was even engaging in light attacks..

Hwiik-!

The moment Baeksuryong's new form, launched like a gale, crossed the fence and landed on the ground with its martial arts uniform fluttering..

“senior! this way!”

“I told you to send it to me!”

“It's so crazy! Brother Dumpling, your strength is no joke!”

“Try to stop it somehow!”

“…….”

Baek Soo-ryong, who witnessed an unbelievable sight, dropped all the ingredients he was holding with both hands on the floor..

In the middle of Baekryongjang's training hall, Saho was kicking a ball with Cheongnyonggomang..
