Chapter 76
##76fury. Let's not waste each other's time
“Elderly!!”
Heukyeong threw away the luggage he was carrying and ran to Gongsunsu who was lying on the bed..
“Heh heh. Did you come??”
“Hey, are you okay??”
Heukyeong, whose expression became pale, hurriedly grabbed Gongsunsu's wrist and gave him a pulse. At the same time, he took out elixirs and gold needles one after another from his chest..
“First, eat this and then take off your clothes. I'll take a nap right away.!”
“Well, what are you doing?!”
Gongsunsu poured the elixir into his mouth and at the same time pushed away the hand that was trying to take off his clothes and was disgusted..
“Well, it's embarrassing, so don't make a fuss. It's just a light internal injury.”
“I heard you were ambushed! What kind of person is an old man?!”
“Hmm. I'm like this, but that guy's arm was cut off. I didn't cut it, but... … . I won the fight…….”
As if he was embarrassed to say that he had won while lying in bed, Gongsunsu repeatedly cleared his throat..
Fire seemed to spew out from the eyes of the dark spirit who saw that scene..
“You hurt an old man, but you only ended up cutting off one arm? I'm going to go and beat him up right now.…….”
Grumble…….
Heukyeong's grim face looked like it would make at least one person blush at any moment..
Gongsunsu shouted to me as he grabbed Heukyeong's arm as he was about to draw his sword..
“Teacher Baek! Don't just watch, try to stop me. If this continues, something will really happen..”
“Calm down, Heukyoung! The old man said he was fine.!”
“Let go! Don't let this go?!”
After barely stopping the black spirit who was going to kill either Cho Mak-saeng or Jo Jin-saeng immediately, I sighed and said to Wi Ji-cheon..
“I heard about it on the way. Still, Cheon, please explain in detail. what exactly happened?”
“that is…….”
Wi Ji-cheon explained to us one by one what happened on the off-stage..
But there was one thing in the story that got on my nerves..
“…… Suddenly, Jo Maksaeng screamed and rushed towards me. His eyes turned bright red, and a grayish color appeared on his dagger.…….”
“wait for a sec. What kind of blackness?”
Perhaps my expression suddenly became serious, as Wi Ji-cheon stopped talking and opened his eyes..
“yes? A gray sword appears from the dagger.…….”
It's gray?
The color of the sword is determined by the inner gongsim method learned, so it varies greatly..
Therefore, the gray color itself is not strange..
But as I mixed in with the situation, I felt an inexplicable sense of discomfort..
I turned my head and asked Gongsunsu..
“Elderly. You said that the bastard attacked the old man with the intention of killing him. Did he provoke you that badly??”
Gongsunsu shook his head as if there was nothing to think about..
“It wasn't that bad. In my imperial palace, I've made several people fall down by grabbing them by the back... … Could it be that they would do that to such a young child?.”
In that case, Jo Mak-saeng's sudden behavior should be seen as a result of his own explosive personality..
‘That's so weird too.’
Just because you lost once in a fight, you lost your temper and tried to kill your opponent..
‘And that in front of so many people? Are you the kind of person who can't tell the difference? Even those who have mastered a decent amount of magic skills can do that.…….’
The moment I continued my thoughts to that point, I caught the reality of the sense of discomfort that appeared in my mind..
“no way…….”
“teacher. Why are you doing this??”
“you. why but?”
My expression must have been serious, as Gongsunsu was looking at me with a serious expression as well..
I forced a smile and said.
“……It's nothing.”
I can't be sure yet because I haven't seen it with my own eyes..
There is enough circumstantial evidence…….
‘I guess I'll have to go see you in person soon..’
It was when I decided to go see Cho Mak-saeng..
Kwaaang!
The door burst open, and Heonwon River, with his hair scattered all over, rushed inside..
“Grandpa! Where is grandpa?!!”
He turned his head, saw us, and walked over with a sigh of relief..
“are you okay? He said he got hurt while rubbing! What kind of bastard are you! How do you make an old, sick old man like this? Wait and see. I'll go right now and kill half of them.…….”
Taaak!
Heonwongang, who was hit on the back of the head by me, held his head..
“evil! Why are you hitting me?!”
“I said it all before, so don't back down..”
“Sheesh. I came running right away because I was worried... … . Anyway, it's okay, right??”
Our voices surrounding Gongsunsu were probably too loud, so a passing lawmaker stiffened his expression and cautioned us..
“Four people there. There are other patients, so please be quiet..”
“Ah, yes.”
“sorry.”
“Hehehe…….”
“…….”
While we were all laughing at the same time, only Gongsunsu, the patient, was laughing as if he was having fun..
“Hehehe. Seeing so many people worry about me just because I got hurt, I must have been lucky in my later years..”
* * *
The next night, Namgungsu’s mansion.
“s, master. Please don't abandon me. Forgive me just once…….”
Jo Mak-saeng, who had a bandage wrapped around his severed left arm, knelt flat in front of Nam Gung-su and prayed..
“I would have said.”
Namgungsu’s expression as he looked down at Cho Maksaeng was as cold as ice..
“You are no longer worthy of being my disciple..”
Cho Mak-saeng lifted his head..
“What a mistake that was! Please give me just one more chance. Then you must take revenge on those people.…….”
“plural? I still can't come to my senses.”
“Inhale!”
A hint of anger appeared between Namgungsu’s furrowed eyebrows..
Jo Maksaeng realized that he had made a mistake and kept his mouth shut, but it was already too late..
Namgungsu turned his body away coldly..
“Drive them out.”
““yes.””
Namgung-seok and Jin-jin, who were waiting behind him, grabbed Cho Mak-saeng by both shoulders and dragged him away..
“Master, you are the teacher!”
Cho Mak-saeng tried his best to hold on, but even when his arms were intact, he was no match for the two. There was no way now.
In the end, he was dragged out of the mansion and thrown out of the mansion..
“An orphan bastard who doesn't know any grace.”
Jinjin took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands as if he had touched something dirty..
“I'm thankful that it ended this way. Even if Master abolished your dantian and cut off your veins, you had nothing to say..”
Jinjin turned around and entered the mansion..
“Seo, Seok-ah!”
Jo Mak-saeng crawled on the floor and clung to the trouser leg of Nam Gung-seok, who was looking down at him..
“Would it be okay if you spoke well to Master? Because you come from the same Namgung family… … . From now on, I will do whatever you ask me to do. huh?”
“I'll give you a warning.”
Namgung-seok squatted down in front of Cho Mak-saeng..
wow!
He roughly pulled up the hair of a boy who was once his classmate..
A cool life flowed from the eyes we met..
“From now on, don't go anywhere and sell the name of my uncle, or Master Namgungsu, or insult him. If I hear even the slightest rumor of that, I will personally find you and kill you..”
“Ugh, ugh…….”
Namgoongseok let go of his hair and smiled. Then he took out a few silver coins from his pouch and thrust them into Jo Mak-saeng's arms..
“I hope that doesn't happen. Still, we learned martial arts together at one point..”
The frozen little boy nodded desperately..
“Ah, ah, I understand..”
“Then turn it off now. I'll go in after I see you gone.”
Cho Mak-saeng got up and staggered away from Namgungsu’s mansion. I couldn't even look back because I was afraid that Namgung-seok was watching..
‘Damn it. Damn it. Damn it……!’
I felt unfair and resentful. It was miserable and pathetic. I hated the world and wanted to kill everyone..
Blood sparkled in Jo Mak-saeng’s eyes..
‘It's all because I'm an orphan, because I'm an orphan.’
Cho Mak-saeng was from Goa..
I don’t remember my parents’ faces. I was abandoned when I was about five years old and grew up in an orphanage..
Luckily, the orphanage he was abandoned in was one of the orphanages sponsored by the Namgung family..
I learned basic martial arts at the orphanage..
It was said that if he had the qualifications, he could become a warrior of the Namgung family in the future. So I desperately studied it, and luck followed me..
-You're quite qualified..
In front of Namgungsu, Cho Maksaeng proved his skills and eventually caught his eye..
-Take the Cheongryong Academic Hall entrance exam this year. let me help you.
I was able to receive martial arts tutoring for free that others would pay hundreds of nyang for. Namgungsu himself wrote the letter of recommendation..
-This is Namgung Seok. This is Jinjin. They are both much better than you, so watch and learn a lot..
-This is Namgung Seok. Let's do our best.
-Are you an orphan? You're lucky too.
My two classmates were unlucky in other ways, but it didn't matter..
If you just enter the Cheongryong Academy like this, your future will be bright and bright..
I should have done that.…….
“He's a smelly old man, and he ruins it for a kid.……!”
Cho Mak-saeng did not think that all of this was his fault..
His arm was cut off, he was abandoned by Namgungsu, and he was kicked out of the mansion..
It's all the world's fault, and it's your fault for being an orphan..
‘Would Namgoong-seok, not me, have stayed still even if his arm was cut off??’
Jo Maksaeng couldn't even imagine..
If Namgung-seok had done the same thing, he would have been returned to the Namgung family and received an even more terrible punishment..
“It's not my fault. It's the fault of that old man, that kid, Namgoongseok, Jinjin, and Namgoongsu.……!”
The sense of victimization turned into uncontrollable anger toward the world..
It was hot as if there was a fireball inside my body..
I felt like I was going to burn to death if I didn't relieve it..
“Hehehe…….”
People who saw the one-armed man smiling like a madman quietly left the place..
Cho Mak-saeng, who was walking aimlessly down the street, found a dark alley and entered it..
He muttered, leaning his back against the alley wall..
“Hehe. I will kill them all. Wijicheon, that bastard, that old man, Jinjin, Namgungseok, and Namgungsu, someday I will kill them all..”
First of all, I will kill one random person..
Cho Mak-saeng did not enter the alley for no reason..
A drunk person coming to urinate, a merchant trying to take a shortcut, a beggar looking for a place to lie down, a child taking a wrong turn..
“Hehe. It doesn't matter to anyone. I will tear you to pieces and kill you.…….”
“That's a good thing. I don’t have to feel any remorse either..”
“!!”
Jo Maksaeng was startled by the sudden voice..
A person slowly emerged from the darkness of the alley..
“who, who…….”
Fortunately, it wasn't Namgoong Seok or Namgoong Soo who just swore that he would kill them..
It was a completely unexpected but familiar face to Jo Maksaeng..
“……white water dragon?”
“I should add a teacher.”
Baek Su-ryong said with a grin and approached Jo Mak-saeng..
“Hmm. Now that I think about it, no. Because you won't be able to enter. Just call it whatever you feel comfortable with..”
“W, why are we here?…….”
“Let's not waste each other's time.”
whirring!
Baek Soo-ryong closed the distance in an instant and grabbed Cho Mak-saeng's neck. I was prepared for the surprise attack, but I couldn't even see it clearly..
“Ugh, gasp!”
Jomaksaeng, who was hanging on the white water dragon's arm, opened his eyes wide. It felt like the strong grip would break my neck at any moment..
‘why?’
Because you said you were going to kill that old man.?
Because of that bastard Wijicheon?
Did you get something from Namgoongsu??
or not… … Because you are an orphan?
I don't know what it was, but Cho Maksaeng didn't want to die here..
“Please save me…….”
“Listen to the answer.”
It was not the face of the White Water Dragon that I had seen several times while walking around the Blue Dragon Science Museum..
His expression was colder than that of a murderer, and his eyes flashed with madness, like someone who commits murder for a living..
Wi Ji-cheon's fear of death was so terrifying that it felt like a joke, entrapping his entire body..
“Are you a spy for a blood cult??”
The moment the word “blood religion” came out, Jo Maksaeng’s eyes turned completely blood red..
