Chapter 80

##80fury. Who the hell is your teacher??

“That's him? Are you talking about the old man in the white uniform over there? This is someone you know.?”

Fortunately or unfortunately, it seemed that Noh Gun-sang did not know the identity of the old man..

“that is…….”

Namgung Jehak thought it was too late..

‘If you intentionally hid your identity…….’

You should not make the elderly feel uncomfortable by recklessly revealing their identity..

Namgung Jehak, who quickly gathered his thoughts, cleared his throat and said..

“I saw it wrong. I was surprised by the resemblance to my deceased maternal grandfather..”

“maternal grandfather?”

At Namgung Jehak’s vague excuse, Noh Gunsang narrowed his eyes and said,.

“I've known you for over 50 years, but this is the first time I've heard of your deceased grandfather..”

“It's been about 60 years since he passed away. Hehehe! My maternal grandfather was very fond of me.…….”

“You want me to believe that? Tsk. Okay. It seems like there are twists and turns, so I'll pretend you didn't hear me..”

“……Thank you.”

Namgung Jehak was grateful for the attitude of the old man who did not ask any more questions..

But Noh Gunsang’s words did not end there..

Lu Gunsang smiled slyly and tapped Nangung Jehak on the shoulder..

“Anyway, I won the bet. I'll be booking the most expensive base in Nanchang, so be prepared..”

“Okay… … . Okay.”

Nangong Jehak nodded with a hesitant expression..

It wasn't a waste of money, but I felt bad about losing the bet..

But the things that will surprise the world's Changcheon Sword King are only just beginning..

* * *

The Cheongryong Academy entrance exam was largely divided into morning and afternoon..

In the morning, there is a test in front of instructors to prove the applicant's basic physical strength, internal strength, and external strength..

In the afternoon, a written exam and practical sparring with seniors from the student council were prepared..

“Haaaaap!”

Gongsun Shui hit the ground with all his might and turned his body in the air..

Swish Swish Swish!

After stabbing his sword in all directions, north, south, east and west, he gracefully landed on the ground like a crane..

“Whoa whoa…….”

Gongsun Su took a deep breath and slowly sheathed his sword..

The final demonstration of the herbivorous food prepared has been completed..

Gongsun Su straightened his posture and politely waved his fist at the examiners..

“……That's it..”

“Thank you for your effort.”

I couldn't tell if the two examiners' expressions were good or bad..

They scribbled something on the paper in front of them and whispered among themselves..

Gongsun Su looked at them with a slightly anxious expression and said:.

“Hey, examiner. I forgot to skip the first part of the meal earlier, but if you give me a chance, I can try it now.…….”

“This is not possible. Next applicant please come up.!”

“…….”

Gongsunsu came down from his seat, wiped his sweaty forehead with his sleeve and sighed..

“Phew… … . It's not easy..”

I barely passed the physical fitness test with pull-ups..

I was confident in my skills because I had been eating elixirs for a long time..

Teacher Baek also said this:.

-The senior’s skill level is among the highest among applicants..

The test was to let water from a water jar overflow into the inner tube, and Gongsunsu let several times more water flow out than the average student..

But the problem was that it was the last external public exam I had just taken..

‘If only I had a little more time…….’

Unless you have exceptional talent, a month is not a short time to perfectly learn the different types of herbivore..

And Gongsunsu was not a genius..

‘Huh. Were you proud that you won a competition once?.’

Not long ago, he won a match against Cho Mak-saeng using the techniques of skillful steeling, but that was the result of a combination of first attack and psychological warfare, not Gongsun Su's martial arts skills being outstanding..

In addition, the sword Baeksu-ryong taught Gongsunsu was a soft and flexible sword, and compared to the other students' herbivorous swords, it was somewhat dull..

“Okay. I proudly said I would pass and come back, but I was embarrassed if I failed, so what should I do? … . no. You shouldn't think like this.”

Gongsunsu slapped himself on the cheek to shake off his anxious thoughts..

The morning exam is almost over..

Teacher Baek was busy, and since he and Wei Ji-cheon were in a different group, Gongsunsu was alone for a while..

Having some free time, he took a moment to watch other students taking their exams..

“Haaaaap!”

“Tahaat!”

There has never been a moment when I was more envious of young people swinging swords while sweating..

Elastic muscles, strong joints, and a healthy body were a blessing from heaven..

“I'm jealous. I'm jealous. If only I were thirty years younger…….”

After a while, Mae Geuk-ryeom, who is in charge of the entrance exam, shouted with all his heart..

“This concludes the morning exam! Applicants are to rest for one hour and then gather here again.!”

One hour of rest was given..

Applicants who completed the morning exam went outside at once to meet their family and friends waiting outside the school building..

Gongsun Soo also hurried his steps to get out of the Blue Dragon Academy..

We had planned to have lunch together with Baekryongjang classmates..

We were planning to meet up to review the exam and talk about the practical training that would take place in the afternoon..

[win prize.]

If it weren't for the electric sound I heard as soon as I left the Blue Dragon Hall..

Gongsunsu, with a stiff expression, stopped in place..

“who……?”

The sound itself is not so difficult that even a Gongsun hand can use it, but I couldn't even guess the direction it was coming from..

It meant that the opponent was such a great expert that he could hide the flow of energy..

[Can we talk for a moment? Please enter the alley on the left. I have no intention of causing any harm..]

Gongsunsu thought for a moment and then did as the voice told him. It was because I could hear a very cautious tone in his voice..

“Someone called me?”

As Gongsun Su entered the alley and spoke, a young man slinked out of the darkness..

He was Namgung Jehak, the King of Changcheon Swords..

“This is Namgung Jehak. I've seen you once before, do you remember??”

A scene that would have shocked the martial arts people if they had seen it..

Distribution, reputation, and skills in Moorim.

In the entire martial arts world, the number of people that Changcheon Sword King would be so polite to didn't exceed five..

but.

“I think it was Namgung Daehyeop. Of course I remember. I saw you earlier at the Great Yeonmujang... … . Heh heh. Please understand that I couldn't pretend to know..”

Gongsunsu took Nangong Jehak's attitude for granted..

It was natural if the other person knew his identity..

“her! You really won..”

Rather, Namgung Jehak's expression was astonished as if he had seen a ghost..

“How are you here? I heard that you are unwell and are recuperating.…….”

Although there is a saying that government affairs are inviolable, the Namgung family also had connections to the imperial palace..

They maintained close relationships with many powerful people through their enormous military and financial power..

However, Gongsunsu was someone that even the Nangung family could not dare to touch..

‘the emperor's teacher…….’

Although he is currently retired from the front line, Gongsun Su was a person who once served as a minister, a position that held the position of supreme person from the Japanese to the universal..

He assisted the current emperor for more than twenty years since he was young, and was also his academic and spiritual teacher..

- Seungsang is the spiritual father who raised Gwain on behalf of His Majesty the King who passed away when he was young. Everyone knows that.

The emperor even said so in a public place, so there was no need to say more about how strong his trust was in Gongsun Su..

His jealous political opponents attempted to assassinate him several times, but he was also an iron-blooded prime minister who survived each time and overthrew his opponents..

‘I heard that he was recuperating somewhere because he was not feeling well.…….’

Seeing Nangong Jehak's questioning expression, Gongsunsu burst into empty laughter..

“It just so happened that it happened that way. Actually, this is my hometown..”

“Why are you taking the Cheongryong Academy exam?…….”

In response to Nangong Jehak's question, Gongsunsu smiled embarrassedly..

“It was a childhood dream. I wanted to give it a try before I die. Heh heh. I know it's a deliberate policy, but don't criticize me too much..”

“How dare I criticize the monk. By the way, if you’ll excuse me, the monk is not in shape.…….”

Although he has an extraordinary brain, he is naturally weak and has a constitution that accumulates a lot of turbidity..

Gongsunsu had such a constitution, and for the sake of the minister's health, the emperor personally called the god of life and death and ordered him to use acupuncture needles and prepare medicine..

‘Even though I did that, my health deteriorated day by day and I was told that I would not live for a few more years.…….’

Look at that face full of life.

Don’t you think we’ll live comfortably for the next twenty years?!

“When I return to my hometown, my mind and body become peaceful and I naturally become healthy. Hehehe!”

“Hehehe…….”

It was nonsense, but Nangong Jehak could only laugh. Because I wasn't someone you could ask questions about..

“By the way, when did you start learning martial arts? If you had told me in advance, the Namgung family…….”

“Heh heh. I am lucky enough to meet and learn from a great teacher..”

Nangong Jehak’s eyebrows twitched when he heard the words “great teacher.”.

“yes? Can you tell me the name of the teacher?…….”

It was then.

“Oh, that's right! I heard that my grandfather went into that alley earlier.!”

“It's true?”

Two people turned their heads at the sound of a voice coming from far away..

Gongsunsu said to Nangong Jehak with a troubled expression..

“Namgung Daehyeop. I'm sorry, but could you please make room for me? Those kids don't know who I am..”

“……Who are those kids??”

“Heh heh. They are classmates who learned martial arts under the same teacher..”

“yes?”

“Grandpa!”

The voice got closer. Gongsunsu said with an urgent expression..

“See you next time. Namgung Daehyeop. You will keep it a secret that you saw me today.?”

Nangong Jehak nodded with a look in his eyes that was soft, but could never be called a request..

“Of course. don't worry about it.”

“Heh heh. Then take a look.”

Just before an unfamiliar figure entered the alley, Nangong Jehak disappeared in front of Gongsunsu..

Slurp.

Although I did not learn the art of hiding separately, it was a simple matter to hide my presence from an expert like Namgung Jehak..

But Nangong Jehak did not leave right away..

Because I was curious about who the comrades Gongsun Soo was talking about were..

After a while, a young man entered the alley..

“Grandpa! It was here too.”

It was Heonwon River..

Gongsunsu pretended to pull up his pants in front of the wall and sneered..

“Heh heh. Sophie came in for a moment because she was in a hurry. I was just about to leave.”

“what. Did you come to pee? I was surprised when the old man went into the alley again and didn't come out..”

“What else is there to be surprised about??”

“……How do you know if there are other scoundrels like Chomaksaeng?.”

Gongsun Su laughed and patted Heon Wongang on the back, who was pouting, saying he was worried for no reason..

“I heard that I feel reassured thanks to my original lecturer..”

“shit. I've said it several times. Not raw, but strong! It's a foreign country!”

Heonwon River growled with a fierce expression..

Namgung Jehak, who had been hiding and watching, widened his eyes at that cheeky tone..

‘You're crazy. If you don't want to destroy the three generations, you dare to be so arrogant towards the king... … . Mmm?’

At that moment, Nangong Jehak's eyes widened in a different way..

I was almost amazed by Heonwon River's strong body when I saw it up close..

It's still far from completion, but I can feel the great potential..

‘Huh. Looking at his qualifications, he is a child who is difficult to find even at Cheonmuhakgwan..’

The surprise of Changcheon Sword King Namgung Jehak did not end there..

A little later than Heonwon River, Wijicheon entered the alley..

“grandfather. Are you okay??”

The moment he saw the boy with that kind face, Nangong Jehak trembled as if he had been struck by lightning..

‘!!’

No, even if the lightning had actually struck in front of him, it couldn't have shocked the Ten Lords like this..

‘How could this happen?……!’

I was so surprised that I almost broke my hiding and suffered embarrassment..

The moment he saw Wei Ji-cheon, Nangong Jehak thought of a sword..

‘You already have a sword in your heart.’

I wanted to tell that kid to swing his sword right now..

If it weren't for Gongsun Su next to him, he would definitely have done that..

“Heh heh. Cheoni is here too. Did you come because of me too??”

“Senior Wongang suddenly ran first and…….”

“river! It's a river!”

“Heh heh. I'm sorry for worrying you for no reason. I'm probably hungry. Let's go quickly..”

“But where did Heukyeong’s sister go??”

“I sent you to meet someone. I'll be back by the afternoon exam. Come on, let's go.”

Gongsunsu hurriedly left the alley while pushing the two boys on his back..

And after a while,

Slurp.

Namgung Jehak appeared where the three had left and muttered with a blank face..

“Those three are in sync?”

the emperor's teacher.

A thief with rare talent.

A boy with a sword in his heart.

These three teachers are one person.

“What the hell… … Who is their teacher?.”

Nangong Jehak was determined to find out its identity..

At that time, Baek Soo-ryong was unable to eat and was suffering from excessive work..
