Chapter 95
##95fury. how did you know?
Lu Jun-sang glanced at the letter of resignation presented by Gongsun Su..
“You dropped out as soon as you entered school... … . This is the first time something like this has happened.”
“Heh heh. I am breaking new records several times at the Blue Dragon Academy..”
Gongsun Su, who was sitting across from us, smiled hollowly..
Noh Gun-sang sensed the bitterness hidden in that smile and quietly asked:.
“Aren't you sad??”
“……It's a pity. It's very disappointing.”
Gongsunsu looked at the Blue Dragon plaque that was placed on the table along with the resignation letter..
Since I submitted my resignation letter, I also had to return my Blue Dragon badge..
“However, I am not shameless enough to practice martial arts while watching the country rot away due to traitors..”
During Gongsun Su's absence, those in power in the imperial palace kept the emperor in check and ravenously sought power..
The emperor was wise and intelligent, but he still lacked the experience to deal with worn-out people in power..
That was the reason Gongsun Su had to go to the imperial palace..
“Even though I am dropping out, I would like to contribute to the development of Cheongryong Academic Center, even from afar..”
“If it's helpful…….”
The Blue Dragon Museum that Gongsun Su saw was a flower pot of talent with several dormant dragons squirming..
However, due to the lack of success in the Cheonmu system over the past decade, students' confidence was decreasing and financial support was gradually decreasing..
Gongsun Su intended to break this vicious cycle..
“Mr. Gwanju. Don't worry about your finances starting this year.”
“Hehehe…….”
In the future, financial support for Cheongryong Academic Center will be more abundant than that of other five university institutions..
Anything is possible with just a few words from Gongsunsu..
Noh Gun-sang looked bewildered by this sudden surprise..
“Hehe… … . I don't know how to thank you.”
“This is all I can do. I hope that my classmates who passed the exam will continue to be proud of Cheongryong Academy..”
“…….”
After looking at Gongsunsui for a moment, Lu Junsang suddenly tore up Gongsunsui's resignation letter on the spot..
profit.
“why……?”
“Gongsunsu Freshman.”
Lu Jun-sang's tone towards Gongsun Su suddenly changed..
“You will be treated as a leave of absence, not expelled..”
“yes?”
Lu Jun-sang pushed the Blue Dragon plaque on the table back to Gongsun Su. They refused to return it..
“After your work at the imperial palace is over, go back to school..”
“…….”
“You will have to take a simple retest. Please know that I will not accept you if you neglect to take care of your body..”
“Hehehe…….”
Going back to school.
Gongsun Soo is now sixty-five years old..
After five years, you will be seventy, after ten years, you will be seventy-five..
‘Can the affairs of the imperial palace be sorted out within five years??’
No promises could be made.
but…….
Whether five years or ten years pass, what does it matter?.
Gongsunsu was already smiling..
“All right. I will not neglect training.”
Gongsunsu accepted the Blue Dragon plaque again, placed it carefully in his arms, and stood up..
“……I'll just go now.”
“When you return, the Blue Dragon Museum will be very different from what it is now..”
“Heh heh. I'm looking forward to it.”
Gongsunsu bowed his head, then turned and left the governor's office..
A few years from this day, a legendary student returns to the Blue Dragon Academy..
* * *
“Now it's really time to say goodbye.”
outskirts of the city.
Gongsunsu was saying his final farewell to Baeksuryong, who had come all the way to meet him..
“Aren’t you in trouble because of me? It's the entrance ceremony, so everyone will be busy..”
Unlike Gongsunsu, who only attended the entrance ceremony and immediately submitted his withdrawal form, the other freshmen had full schedules, including being assigned classes..
Baek Soo-ryong, the temporary instructor, was supposed to be running around like crazy, but he was seeing Gongsun Soo off calmly..
Baek Soo-ryong said with a grin..
“I got permission from the governor and left. It's nice to hang out when everyone is busy.?”
“Tsk tsk. So what do you do if you are hated by other instructors?.”
“As for hate, I'm already getting a lot of it..”
Baek Soo-ryong giggled as he remembered Nam Gung-su’s face, which had been under low pressure since this morning..
‘What kind of lesson should I take away from him?.’
Since Wi Ji-cheon entered school at the top of his class, the winner of their bet was Baek Soo-ryong..
The reward for victory is Baek Soo-ryong taking one of Namgung-su's classes this semester..
All of the classes taught by Namgungsu, an instructor at Cheongryong Academy, are all very popular, so there was nothing to lose no matter which one you chose..
‘Weapon class? Outside attack? Strength? If possible, I think it would be better to have common grade classes.…….’
I haven't decided yet, but it was a happy thought anyway..
“……Judging by the look on his face, it looks like he's making a wicked plan to harass the students again..”
“It's a shame. It would have been nice if the elders had been in that plan too..”
Gongsun Soo grinned at Baek Soo-ryong’s words..
A few hours ago, those words would have sounded bitter, but not now..
Because he has a new goal.
“I'll listen to it later when I go back to school. So, don’t get fired because you look hateful, but eat at the Blue Dragon School for a long time..”
“I'll try my best.”
There were only two people around..
Wijicheon had to remain at the academy due to his schedule, and Heonwongang was in no condition to go far to meet him. So, after watching the entrance ceremony, I sent him back to the clinic..
I sent Cheongeom to the black spirit to meet him..
Within half an hour from now, at the latest, the forces of the Heavenly Sword and Jinyuiwi will arrive here..
“So, what is it about sending Black Spirit away and having a conversation between the two of us??”
Baek Soo-ryong grinned at Gongsun Soo’s question..
It was Gongsunsu who sent the black spirit, but Baeksuryong secretly requested it..
“I just wanted to talk about some things before I go. Shall we sit there for a moment??”
The place where the mountain road leading out of Gwando begins.
The two sat facing each other in the small pavilion in front of them..
“Thank you for your hard work for a little over a month..”
Baek Soo-ryong took out the alcohol and glasses he had prepared. It was an expensive liquor that I bought the day before..
Gongsunsu widened his eyes in surprise..
“Huh. I drink all the alcohol you give me. During that time, they didn't even let me touch my mouth..”
“So we prepared something special. Wouldn’t it be okay to have a drink before you go??”
Drinking alcohol for the first time in a month.
Gongsunsu said with his eyes shining brightly..
“No problem. I just happened to have no one to nag. Is this why I told you to send the dark spirit first??”
“I do it both at the same time and at the same time..”
Like two miscreants plotting a mischievous prank, the two men looked at each other and smiled and began to drink together..
“Haha! It's good.”
“Because it’s an expensive drink..”
There wasn't much need for words between the two..
Memories were just a comfort, and the wind blowing into the pavilion and the trees swaying against it were a song and dance..
After admiring the scenery for a moment, Gongsunsu opened his mouth..
“teacher.”
“yes.”
“Cheon has a soft heart, so keep an eye on him. Those who are jealous of that child's talent will belittle him and mistreat him..”
“All right.”
“Kang- i is loyal and has a strong heart, but I am worried because his temper is fiery. Whipping is good, but sometimes you should gently encourage it..”
“I'll keep that in mind.”
Baek Soo-ryong listened to Gongsun Soo and nodded..
Gongsun Xiu was the current emperor's teacher..
Although he could not be compared to Baek Soo-ryong in terms of teaching martial arts, there was no one in the country who had excellent insight and as a teacher of virtue and etiquette..
“……Whatever happens to Kang, there shouldn't be any aftereffects..”
“He's strong, so he'll get better soon..”
Gongsunsu nodded with a bitter face and poured a drink into Baeksuryong's cup..
“But here you are. Have you ever thought of getting married??”
“call!”
Baek Soo-ryong gushes over an unexpected topic..
Suddenly getting married.
The white water dragon's head turned quickly..
Without having to think long, I knew who Gongsun Soo had in mind..
“I have no idea.”
“I'm just being needlessly quick-witted. Where is our Heukyoung?.”
“Did you ask for their opinion??”
It was meant as a refusal, but Gongsunsu's eyes lit up as if he had caught the number..
“It doesn't seem like there's any interest at all, right? If you say you like my child, would you seriously consider meeting him??”
“no…….”
“I'm not joking, so think about it..”
“…….”
Baek Soo-ryong was lost in thought for a moment..
Meet a woman and get married.
It was a future I had never dreamed of in my past life..
At that time, even surviving each day was difficult..
‘now?’
A very peaceful world compared to fifty years ago..
In the Taiping World, the blood religion that dreamed of unifying the martial arts was destroyed, and the power of the four factions itself was greatly diminished..
But Baek Su-ryong knew that this peace would not last long..
‘Blood religion has not disappeared.’
I've already found several signs.
Maybe they have become a bigger force than you can imagine, and they may not be far behind..
If the blood religion is active again…….
Baek Soo-ryong answered with a serious expression..
“I'm sorry, but I have no desire to get married yet..”
“……I guess there's some story behind it..”
Gongsun Soo, who looked at Baek Soo-ryong's expression, did not offer any more advice or inquire in detail..
As we continued to talk, the bottle was empty..
“this. I'm out of alcohol. Who bought just one bottle to put on your nose??”
“This level is just right. A guest arrived just then..”
“customer? Has the Heavenly Sword already arrived??”
Baek Soo-ryong smiled and looked over Gongsun Soo’s shoulder..
Gongsunsu also turned his head to follow his gaze..
A familiar face was trudging towards the two..
“Senior Wongang?”
He was Heonwongang.
Heonwongang, with a pale face, spotted the two people and waved his hand..
Gongsunsu stood up and greeted Xuanwengang..
“What is your senior doing here? Without even being physically fit…….”
Heonwon-gang scratched his head as if embarrassed..
“I'm frustrated because I only want to stay at the doctor's office. And I have a gift for my grandfather..”
“gift?”
Heonwongang put his hand into his bosom and took out something..
Gongsunsu was so grateful that he felt like crying..
‘He seems like a very affectionate guy.…….’
Even though he got stabbed on his behalf and looked so pale, instead of complaining, he took care of me like this?.
“What does a gift mean?.”
“I don't think I can give it to you now..”
The object Heonwon-gang took out from his chest was a dagger painted black..
A black dagger with a plain pattern without any pattern and so dark that its shape cannot even be discerned in the dark..
Xuanwengang smiled brightly and stabbed Gongsunsu in the neck with it..
“Hoo……?”
Even at that moment, Gongsunsu did not feel threatened at all..
There was no presence or life in the dagger that was held out naturally..
I just thought, that's a gift to me..
Kyaang!
The blade flew to the side right in front of my eyes, and Heonwon-gang, who seemed to have difficulty even walking just now, instantly pushed Shin-hyeong backwards..
dump.
Gongsunsu sat down on the floor..
Finally, the fear and shock of death that had occurred a moment ago came to me..
“why, why…….”
Gongsunsu looked at Xuanwengang with an expressionless face and shouted..
“Why are you trying to kill me?!”
“Elderly. calm down.”
At that moment, Baek Soo-ryong blocked Gongsun Soo’s path..
It was he who had just stopped Heonwon River's attack..
“That guy is not Heonwongang..”
“what……?”
While Gongsunsu was surprised, Heonwongang's expression changed strangely..
“How did you know? I stole everything from Heonwon River’s speech, gait, and body odor..”
Chil-sal (七殺), the assassin of Salmak disguised as Heonwon River, asked.
“That's because I was waiting.”
Baek Soo-ryong answered that question with a white smile..
