Chapter 580
580fury. 30 years ago (1)
Baek Mu-heun sat down again and grumbled while fanning his red face..
“I can't even raise my face because of those colts..”
“Hahaha! What's wrong? I just feel like I'm back in those days.”
Baek Moo-heun glanced at Go Ju-yeol, who was laughing loudly, saying it was someone else's business..
“Brother, I hope you are cheered on by the wonderful nickname of “non-responsive guest.”.”
“I actually envy you. Isn’t that why they call him Okmyeon Confucius because he is still worthy of being eaten??”
Go Joo-yeol looked at Baek Moo-heun's face with exaggerated admiration, as if he was truly envious..
“Soo-ryong was good-looking, but Mu-heun was a little better in his prime..”
“⋯⋯Please don't say anything strange to me, brother. I'm just making fun of it because it's fun..”
Baek Mu-heun shook his head and sighed..
In the stands, students, led by Tang Soso, were still waving fans and chanting for Okmyeon Gongja and non-respondents..
Thanks to that, the gazes of people glancing at me were so stinging that I felt like I wanted to hide if I had a hole in my head..
“Wow⋯⋯.”
When I was attending Cheongryong Academy, I liked the nickname Okmyeon Confucius..
But even though I was half a hundred years old, I still couldn't do that..
I remember the pranks and bad behavior I committed when I was young, and my face keeps turning red with shame..
‘I will definitely use this opportunity to free myself from Jade Face Confucius.!’
Next to Baek Mu-heun, who was making a firm determination in his heart, Go Joo-yeol smiled and said,.
“I get it, so stop being shy and just watch Bimuna. Take a look around.”
“yes.”
The first friendly dance for graduates has just begun..
The masters of Gupa Ilbang, who graduated from Suzaku Academy and Baekho Academy, came up and took the lead..
“This is the shaman’s condolence. In Gangho, he is given an undeserved nickname, Yuungeom (流雲劒)..”
“This is Kwak Jin of Jeomchang. His nickname is Spectral Quicksword, and although his skill is mediocre, I would like to ask for your help..”
“You mean insignificant? I have heard of the reputation of the Spectral Quick Sword for a long time..”
“I am so tired of hearing about Yuungeom's cooperation.⋯⋯.”
After a brief exchange of humble greetings, the meeting began..
At the same time, the masters of the nine factions, swords drawn, rushed at each other head-on..
Kagaga River!
The audience poured out exclamations of admiration at the workshop where the softness of the shaman and the sharpness of the fortune telling were alive. There were more than one person who watched with wide eyes at the fact that they could see the season of Gupailbang in person..
“⋯⋯hmm. It's considerable..”
But that was all that Baek Mu-heun felt..
Despite facing opponents who might end up fighting him in a moment, Baek Moo-heun turned his attention away from the off-stage and towards the audience..
Seeing that sight, Go Ju-yeol clicked his tongue and said that it was the same now as it was in the past..
“Confucius Okmyeon’s confidence is still the same? okay. You can only glance at it as much as you like. I have to watch with open eyes so as not to be embarrassed..”
Instead of answering, Baek Mu-heun chuckled and looked around the audience, feeling emotional..
-Okmyeon Confucius Baek Mu-heun!
-Show off the skills of Cheongryong Academy!
-Brother! I adore you!
Thirty years ago, Baek Mu-heun, an 18-year-old boy who climbed Yongbongbimu, was here..
And where the students of Cheongryong Academy are sitting now, there were friends from the past..
-If you don't win, don't even think about going back to Blue Dragon Academy.!
Baek Mu-heun held back the laughter that was about to escape at the cheerful voice that suddenly came to his mind..
“Phew⋯⋯.”
When Baek Mu-heun suddenly burst into laughter, Go Joo-yeol, feeling puzzled, asked:.
“huh? Is there anything over there??”
“It's Yak Ice. I was sitting around there. It was very pretty. The cheering scene was so pretty that I had trouble concentrating several times because my eyes kept getting stolen..”
Now, a long line of juniors from Cheongryong Academy were sitting there..
Go Joo-yeol shook his head..
“You are really amazing too. Even though it's been almost 30 years since your death, is Yakbing still that good??”
Baek Mu-heun lightly shrugged his shoulders and laughed..
“As you know, I am a bit single-minded.?”
“No problem. I know that extreme heart well. How many wives and children's hearts did Confucius Yumyeon break before he met Mei Ruobing?⋯⋯.”
“older brother!”
“Oh, my ears will drop. Don't you think it's enough?.”
Meanwhile, the first dance was over. Jeomchang's spectral sword won in over a hundred rounds, but the two people applauded half-heartedly amidst the cheering..
“I will immediately proceed with the second meeting..”
The host of the friendly dance put his hand into the wooden box with a hole and took out a bamboo plaque with his name written on it. To ensure fairness, the order of matches was randomly determined..
“Please prepare for the non-responsive guest Ko Ju-yeol, a graduate of Cheongryong Academic Hall.!”
When his name was called, Go Joo-yeol seemed nervous for a moment and swallowed dry saliva, but then nodded and began to relax..
“It's better to finish it quickly. Go get a win and come back.”
“Winning is impossible anyway, so don’t try too hard..”
“Muheun. It seems like your old personality is coming out more and more.?”
“If it were like the old days, would you have treated your older brother with respect? Not to my senior, but to my classmate.?”
“⋯⋯okay. Thank you very much for doing that.”
At a time when the two were exchanging jokes and relaxing, Baek Mu-heun felt someone's gaze and turned his head..
‘hmm?’
This was where the graduates of Cheonmuhakgwan were sitting..
A woman wearing a maroon monk’s robe wrapped around her body caught my eye..
It was difficult to guess his age as he had a stern expression and his hair was pulled back short, but the long time they spent together was evident in the sword neatly placed on his lap..
Baek Mu-heun tilted his head and said.
“older brother. The nun over there has been glaring at you for a while now.?”
“I'm glaring at you, not me..”
“yes?”
It was Baek Mu-heun, who had lived in isolation from Moorim for a long time. So, I couldn't help but be puzzled by Kang-ho's eyes that seemed to suddenly contain a benevolent wish..
“You mean me? I have lived with Moorim for over 30 years.?”
“Are you sure you don't remember??”
“What?”
“sinful bastard⋯⋯.”
“older brother. Please explain properly and then stop swearing.!”
It was when Go Ju-yeol clicked his tongue and looked at Baek Mu-heun who was frustrated..
The host drew a second bamboo tile and shouted:.
“Graduates of Cheonmuhakkan, please prepare Amipa's annihilation spirit.!”
At the same time, explosive cheers erupted from the audience. It seemed to indicate who the people were most looking forward to at this friendly meeting..
“Finally, the God of Extermination!”
“The sword of the assassin that represents Amipah.!”
“I never thought the day would come in my lifetime when I would witness the thirty-six swords of Okheo.⋯⋯.”
The cheers got louder when the woman who was glaring at Baek Mu-heun with a calm gaze stood up..
Jeopuk.
Annihilation Shinni stepped onto the non-stage with light steps. He did not show off his walking skills subtly like other martial artists, nor did he show a gentle expression out of concern for the audience..
Nevertheless, her noble presence overwhelmed the crowd, and Baek Moo-heun tilted his head while looking at her with his eyebrows drawn together..
“Looking at it like this, it seems like a familiar face.⋯⋯.”
“Okay. You should worry a lot. I will come back.”
I thought I would win one game, but I lost it..
Go Joo-yeol grumbled a little and jumped up onto the non-stage..
The audience applauded him as he showed off his brilliant skills..
And it was decided in an instant..
As the dance began, Go Joo-yeol, as he is known as a non-respondent, kept the annihilating spirit in check with his quick movements and looked for an opportunity. The Yeonhwan ceremony, which combines excellent light attack, sword technique, and each flash of angle technique, aroused the admiration of the audience..
However, as time passed, it was Go Ju-yeol who was pushed into a corner. Every time the Annihilation God's sword moved slowly, he had no choice but to step back, and before he knew it, he had reached the end of the non-stage..
“I will surrender!”
In the end, Go Ju-yeol, who had voluntarily withdrawn from the dance floor, abstained, and the dance was recorded as the victory of Annihilation Shinni. The audience was filled with cheers..
Left alone on the off-stage, Mysterious God waited for a moment for the commotion to subside before opening his mouth..
“Binseung is said to be Amipa’s Geumsan Mountain..”
“⋯⋯Geumsan Mountain?”
The moment he heard that name, a very old memory in Baek Mu-heun's mind became a little clearer..
Annihilation Shinni continued..
“Here today, I would like to liquidate old financial benefits. So, I ask my juniors to give up this secret dance..”
Not only the audience but also the dancers in the old room began to murmur in surprise..
“It's Eunwon?”
“What kind of blessing is there for the God of extinction?⋯⋯.”
“I'm telling you to give up dancing.?”
No matter how much the Gupa Ilbang had made a bet with Emperor Tian Wu for command, the Extermination God was not a person worthy of stepping forward in person..
She was an elder of the Ami faction and a leading expert of the sect. Unlike other old sects that dispatched thirty to forty senior experts, the only one where the elder himself went forward was Amipa..
Nevertheless, the reason she was willing to come here was because while contemplating the list to participate in the Cheonmuje friendly competition with Jang Mun-in, she came across a man's name..
“⋯⋯I will abstain.”
“I will also abstain.!”
“I hope that the God of Destruction will completely liquidate the blessing..”
The old school's masters, who were paying close attention, withdrew from the competition one by one after receiving a glance or message from Jang Mun-in..
Rather than continuing a fight that had no chance of winning, it was decided that it would be more advantageous to impose even a small debt on Amipa..
After thanking each and every one of them with his palms together, the God of Destruction turned around. Before I knew it, his expression had become cold..
“Confucius Baek Mu-heun. Come up here.”
Baek Mu-heun looked somewhat embarrassed at the words referring to himself..
“⋯⋯Confucius?”
“What are you doing? Go quickly.”
Go Joo-yeol, who returned to his seat, pushed Baek Moo-heun's back with all his strength, saying he was sorry..
“This is really⋯⋯.”
“Confucius Baek Mu-heun. It's been a long time indeed.”
Baek Mu-heun and Myungjeolshinni, who came up with a puzzled expression, stood facing each other..
They both maintained a youthful appearance that did not suit their age, as expected of a strong martial artist, but their gray hair and their aura gave a strange feeling that they were the same age..
The God of Destruction opened his mouth again..
“I have a lot of questions, but I won't ask. I'm glad we met again like this..”
“⋯⋯.”
“Even after thirty years, it remains surprisingly unchanged. It seems like time has passed you by.”
“⋯⋯.”
“Let's get started right away. draw your sword.”
Annihilating God took a few steps back and drew his sword, but Baek Mu-heun remained silent with his brows narrowed..
“Can I also ask you one thing??”
“Of course.”
As Annihilation Shinni nodded, Baek Mu-heun lowered his voice and asked a small question..
“⋯⋯We've met before?”
At that moment, the Annihilation God broke the immobility he had barely maintained and lashed out..
“Thirty years ago. Are you saying you forgot the promise you made with me?-!”
The roar filled with the power of the Annihilation God shook the audience. But the aftermath was bigger than that..
“What are you talking about?⋯⋯.”
A huge earthquake occurred in Baek Mu-heun's panicked pupils..
“Oh, that can't be right⋯⋯.”
“Is it true? With Monk Amipa?”
The students were so shocked that they covered their mouths with their hands..
Ujijik!
“That... You bastard⋯⋯!”
The armrest of the chair where the next head of the Blue Dragon Hall was sitting was broken..
