Chapter 570
570fury. right decision
A young warrior from the Namgung family who was waiting for Namgungsu next to him spoke with a very nervous look on his face..
“It's me, Samgongja. If I made any mistake…….”
He was a collateral warrior belonging to the Namgung family's manor in Hubei..
In other words, most people heard about Namgungsu's personality and his great performance against the blood religion only through hearsay..
Therefore, when I received an order from the head of the family to quietly bring the third child, I couldn't believe it and pinched my arm several times on the way..
‘I'm serving the famous Three Confucius.!’
However, the fact that I was going to serve Samgongja, who was called the Thunder God and was crowned the Ten Lords of Wulin, briefly aroused the envy of my colleagues..
Namgungsu's expression was stiff throughout the entire way, and the Namgung family's attendant continued to feel anxious while leading the way..
“What are you talking about??”
A cool voice rang through the night air..
The peerless master who cut off the head of the evil family with a single sword looks at himself with eyes full of lightning..
If my spine didn't feel numb at this moment, that would be abnormal..
The man of the Namgung family bowed his back and apologized without realizing it..
“So, I'm sorry. I was attending Confucius, but I showed up without sufficient preparation, which made me feel uncomfortable..”
“…….”
The golden eyes shining quietly in the darkness seemed to be looking at a wild beast. The Namgung family’s military officer was almost contemplative..
“The head of the family asked me to bring him quietly, so I came alone... … . I will call the palanquin even now.!”
Namgungsu realized that the other person was misunderstanding something and let out a small sigh..
“I guess my expression was too stiff. I'm not upset because of you..”
“……yes?”
Namgungsu forced his stern expression to relax at Muin’s expression as if he was asking if it was true..
Making subordinates uncomfortable just because of one's own feelings was an unseemly act that a child from a prestigious family should not have done..
“I misled you because I had personal concerns. I apologize.”
“Oh no! Confucius would apologize to someone like me! I just misunderstood.”
The Namgung family’s military officer jumped up and waved his hand..
However, Namgoongsu shook his head firmly and clearly explained what he had done wrong..
“Aren’t you in a position where you have no choice but to look into my feelings? On the other hand, I am in a position where I don't have to worry about you. So it's me who has to be more careful. Please keep in mind too.”
“……yes?”
The young warrior of the Namgung family only blinked at the logic he had heard for the first time..
However, Namgungsu urged him as if no further explanation was needed..
“Hurry up and go. The matriarch will be waiting..”
“Ah, yes! I'll take you this way..”
In any case, thanks to the misunderstanding being resolved, relief appeared on Mu-in’s face. He seemed to be thinking deeply about what Namgungsu said..
After a while, they arrived at the Namgung family's manor..
As soon as Namgungsu stepped inside, a familiar voice was heard..
“Brother-!”
Namgung Mi, the youngest member of the Namgung family and known as Geumji Ok-yeop, ran to see her brother..
He was so happy that he was even performing the Cheonpungsinbeop, the vision of the Namgung family, with his small feet. Although still clumsy, it was a significant achievement considering his age..
“This guy.”
Namgungsu hugged his youngest brother who ran to him with both arms and lifted him up. His brow furrowed slightly..
“Ten years old is the age when one must adhere to the morals of a prestigious family. Why are you making such a loud noise and walking around carelessly?.”
“But your brother is here! I kept waiting for you to come?”
Namgoongmi flapped her arms in the air and chattered. At the same time, the girl's eyes shined brightly, as if she was hoping for something..
“Brother. Did you receive my letter? Selling in front of Cheongryong Academic Center…….”
“Looks like you've been waiting for this longer than me..”
After putting his younger brother down on the floor, Namgungsu took something out of his bag..
It was the most delicious confectionery near the Cheongryong Academy. It was something I deliberately took the time to pack before leaving..
He put the sweets in his younger brother's hands and asked,.
“Can you promise to eat just one meal a day??”
“yes!”
Namgung- mi responded by quickly putting a piece of sugar in her mouth. Namgungsu was sure that this promise would not be kept, but he decided to ignore it..
“Drink it… … . But why didn’t Brother Wateryong come with me??”
“My father called me alone. You must have entered the Murim League’s dormitory by now..”
Namgung- mi followed behind her brother, munching on the sweets in her mouth. It seemed like it was a shame Baek Soo-ryong didn't come with him..
“Ugh. I wanted to see you. Water Dragon Brother plays well with me..”
“……Keep a reasonable distance. It's easy to get into bad water..”
“You and your brother are close friends. I heard that you also fought together when fighting the blood religion this time.?”
“If you cultivate sufficient discipline as a warrior, you will not be swayed by any temptation around you. Mia, you are still young, you need to work harder on your discipline..”
“Nope. My brother has changed a lot too.…….”
Namgung-mi looked like she had a lot to say, but she only pouted, as if she felt like she was just going to get nagged again..
Instead, the girl revealed her ambitious aspirations for the future..
“You know. In five years, I will also enter the Blue Dragon Academy as a top student.!”
“Five years later…….”
Namgungsu imagined for a moment..
What will Cheongryong Academic Museum look like five years from now?.
All current students will have graduated..
Some instructors may also have changed. Status and subjects in charge would change, and with the inauguration of a new director, there was a possibility that the direction of education pursued by the academic institution would also change..
And there will no longer be just one instructor..
“……If only the wrong things disappear.”
“yes?”
Namgungsu reached out his hand and lightly stroked his younger brother’s head..
“If you want to aim for top honors, you need to train hard from now on. Five years from now, Blue Dragon Academy will definitely be the best academy in the world..”
“yes I'll work hard!”
Namgoongmi nodded vigorously. What was so good about it was full of bright smiles..
As we walked and talked, we soon arrived in front of the house where the head of the family was staying..
“Samgongja. I'm leaving now.”
While the brother and sister were talking, Sega's young warrior, who had been quietly following them, grabbed his gun and said he would retreat..
Namgungsu nodded and then said as if he remembered something..
“I've got a lot on my mind, I didn't even ask your name.”
“……This is Namgung Semin..”
Namgungsu said as he came here and looked at Namgung Semin's muscles, movements, and the sword at his waist..
“It looks like you've mastered the Great Sword technique. Try using a sword that's about an inch shorter. Linking herbivory will become easier..”
At that moment, Namgung Semin’s eyes widened. It was simple, but golden advice from the perspective of a tax expert. It was no different from chance for the martial artist in the collateral world..
“……Thanks for teaching! yes! I will definitely try changing it.!”
Namgung Semin retreated after repeatedly taking power..
Namgoong Mi also looked disappointed, saying that his father had told him not to come into the room..
“See you later! Brother!”
“I decided to eat a few confections a day.?”
“three outlines!”
Namgung- mi stuck out her tongue and ran away while performing the Heavenly Wind Divine Technique. Namgungsu looked at that and shook his head..
Standing in front of the head of the family, Namgungsu took a deep breath and spoke..
“The head of the family. Little girl, I have been called..”
“Come in.”
When I opened the door and entered, not only Namgung Cheon, the head of the family, but also Namgung Su's two older brothers, Namgung Hak and Namgung Hyuk, were waiting for me..
Namgungsu was not surprised because he had already sensed their presence..
“Father. Brothers. Have you been doing nothing for a long time?.”
Seeing Nam Gung-su politely politely nodded, Nam Gung-cheon nodded, and the two older brothers had complicated expressions..
“I heard from my first son that the fight he went through in Akga was very difficult. It's good to see you healthy and without any major injuries. sit like that.”
Namgung Cheon sat at the head table, and Namgung Hak and Namgung Hyuk sat to his left and right..
Namgungsu was located opposite the head of the family. There was silence between the four men for a moment..
Nam Gong-cheon took a sip of the tea in front of him and asked quietly..
“What was said at the meeting??”
“We talked about various things about the situation in Kangho. First of all, in the old file room,…….”
Namgungsu answered Namgungcheon’s question in a calm voice..
The conversation with the giants of the political faction was conveyed as is, without adding or subtracting anything..
“……Did Eungong really propose such a bet to Buddha? You just watched without stopping.?”
Namgoonghak, who had been listening quietly, asked with an expression of not understanding. Then Namgungsu answered calmly..
“There was no reason to stop him..”
“There is no reason! Didn't you know that if you lose the bet, not only Eunkong's German martial arts skills but also his Blue Dragon School view will be ridiculed??”
Namgoonghyuk even added a word with a disapproving look, but Namgoongsu tilted his head as if he didn't understand..
“I didn't really like the bet either. But in the end, it's a bet that will win. There is no need to assume that you will lose..”
“…….”
“…….”
While the two older brothers were dumbfounded, Namgung-cheon burst into laughter..
“Hahahaha!”
He was laughing so brightly that water was forming around his eyes. He barely stopped laughing and said while looking at Namgungsu..
“No problem. The best person in the family is an instructor at Cheongryong Academy, so you must have that level of confidence..”
“…….”
“If so, I will ask from now on. Think carefully before answering.”
Namgungsu saw the expressions of his two older brothers change subtly at their father’s words. At that moment he realized.
‘It's the last test.’
The two older brothers seemed to have already taken the test. Their expressions seemed resigned, or they seemed to be barely suppressing their anger..
“Do you know why I asked a young warrior from the collateral world to bring you, rather than a great master or master??”
That was the first question. Namgungsu answered without hesitation..
“My muscles weren't bad and I had a good grasp of the basics. So I think he sent it to give me advice on martial arts..”
“……Wrong. It was to see how the family treated their subordinates..”
Namgungcheon’s expression was subtle. Soon he asked a second question..
“Cheonha says that the main family has fallen into ruin. Many of the masters of the main family died, and the reputation built over a long period of time was tarnished. What will you do to prove that your family is alive and well??”
This time too, Namgungsu did not think long..
“won't do anything.”
“……Why??”
“Because now is not the time to prove it. The public's perspective is bound to change naturally. Now is the time to heal our wounds, build strength, and prepare for the future..”
Namgungsu paused for a moment. He made eye contact with his father, who was glaring at him with his only eye..
Suddenly, I thought of a man who gave up his greed for the Blue Dragon Academy despite losing one eye..
“……So, I will not do anything to prove that my family is alive and well. I'll put that effort elsewhere..”
Nangong Cheon closed his eyes for a moment and was lost in thought..
He opened his eyes again and asked in a low voice..
“last question.”
“Please ask.”
“No matter when, there will come a moment when you have to make an important decision. Because of your decision, many lives may be lost, many lives may be saved, or you may end up having terrible nightmares for the rest of your life. What decision will you make??
“…….”
For the first time, Namgungsu could not answer right away..
Namgungcheon was asked about his mindset when he became the head of the Namgung family, but it was simply because he didn't hear it that way..
His lips opened and closed again and again..
“I will make the right decision.”
“What was the right decision??”
“It's a decision I'm proud of..”
“If it is the wrong decision for the family?”
Namgung Se-ju’s interrogation continued. However, Namgoongsu’s answer did not change..
“Still, I will make the right decision.”
“…….”
“…….”
Nangong Cheon’s thick eyebrows twitched. Those eyes were fierce, as if they were going to eat their own son. Namgungsu also did not avoid his gaze. Namgung Hak and Namgung Hyuk watched them without even being able to breathe..
“You're stubborn..”
“It is the stubbornness of the Namgung family..”
“Do you have any regrets about your answer??”
“doesn't exist.”
Nam Gung-cheon nodded and stood up. And I blurted it out as if I was telling an insignificant fact..
“From today, you are the lord of the Great Nangong family..”
“yes.”
Namgungsu also stood up and answered calmly..
And at that moment, Namgung-hak and Namgung-hyuk got down on one knee and showed respect to the head of the family..
“Meet Sogaju.”
“Meet Sogaju.”
At the same time, the door opened behind Namgungsu and the warriors lined up outside simultaneously knelt down on one knee..
thud!
““Meet Sogaju!””
The sight of the four pillars of the Namgung family, the heads of each of the hexagrams, and one hundred warriors under their command kneeling at the same time was a spectacular sight..
Namgoong-mi was clumsily imitating the people around her with her eyes wide open..
Behind him, Namgung Semin, a young military officer, was looking overwhelmed..
While everyone was kneeling in front of So Jiajou, Nangong Cheon stood next to his son and said..
“They all heard your answer. He should take responsibility for it..”
The head of the Nangung family looked around at them and then answered..
“I will do that.”
