EP.161 Chapter Sixteen - Gathering, Meeting (3)

awkward situation.
If you had asked Mok Ri-won to describe this situation where Mi-seok and Dang Hwa-seo are sitting face to face and laughing haha, he would have dismissed it like that..
it was strange.
After all, isn't the sight of people you like meeting up like something Mokriwon had only dreamed of?.
But there was a reason for everything.
‘Why are you both like this?.’
Their actions are none other than.
It was giving Mok Riwon this awkward feeling..
“Yes, I am twenty-two years old this year.?”
“Yes, somehow I got that old. Oh, by any chance you are old.….”
“No, no. Does age really matter? Isn’t the important thing in the chivalrous spirit one harbors?.”
“As expected, you are the Geowang Daehyup..”
Danghwaseo smiles softly..
Mile Seok imitates Mok Seon Oh and holds the weight..
The two people Mok Ri-won knew were not like this..
Maybe it's a Peking opera?.
Mo Riwon looked at the two people again..
“I heard that our Won is really indebted to us..”
Mile Seok stroked his beard..
Even though Miles didn’t have that habit..
“Hey, that's rude. I also received a lot of help from Mok Sohyeop..”
Danghwaseo laughed ‘hoho’.
Mo Ri-won had never seen Dang Hwa-seo smile so pretentiously..
Even when she was Giru's Rouge..
“Well, I have some understanding.….”
“I don't know what to do when you praise something that is obvious..”
Mok Ri-won suddenly got goosebumps all over his body..
I wanted to ask the two people why they were doing this..
But was there any way it could work out?.
The conversation between the two continued for a long time, regardless of Mok Riwon's wishes..
“As I heard, Geolwang Daehyup has a generous side. How much does Mok Sohyeop brag about him?.”
“Yeah, I heard a lot about you two on the way there too. So sweet... Oh my, is it rude to say this??”
“Not at all.”
Shockingly, Mokriwon was surprised..
This is because the moment the word sweet and sweet came out, I felt the spirit of a wild beast that I sometimes see in Danghwaseo..
Didn't you see the mile stone??
When I turned my head, I saw Miles looking at the ceiling with his arms crossed trying to hold his weight..
‘What kind of situation is this?.’
Mo Liwon broke into a cold sweat behind his back..
Deep inside, I hoped for someone's desperate help..
and it reached.
“Throat ow! It's here….”
Jump up! Zhuge Shan opened the door and came in..
Mok Ri-won jumped up with a bright face..
“Zhuge brother!”
Zhuge Shan's expression was stiff and he was looking straight at the mile stone..
Only then did Mo Liwon realize that this was the first time the two were meeting and said to Zhuge Shan:.
“ah! This is the Girl King! Girl king! This is my older brother Zhuge, with whom I became a sworn brother.!”
An awkward silence filled the space..
Zhuge Shan's eyes momentarily turned to Dang Hwa-seo, who smiled cautiously, but when her sharp eyes suddenly appeared, they turned back to Jie Wang..
The question that eventually emerged was that.
“…Mok Wow, did you know Geolwang Daehyeop??”
Suddenly, everyone in the space was shaken..
And Mok Riwon felt like he had been hit hard in the back of the head..
‘Well, come to think of it….’
You must not let Gangho find out that you are acquainted with King Geol..
That was something that Mile-seok always emphasized to Mok-ri-won..
Yes.
The conversation that followed with Danghwaseo was based on the premise that Mokriwon and Mileseok were acquaintances..
When Mok Ri-won secretly looked at Danghwa-seo and Mile-seok, the two were also looking at each other with a look on their faces..
“…Mokau?”
Only Zhuge Shan is filled with doubts and asks that question..
*
Afterwards, it was somehow bitten by Zhuge Mountain..
When it became a three-way face-to-face situation, everyone felt awkward..
“…So, you mean you got caught??”
Mokriwon and Danghwaseo's heads turned downward at Mileseok's words..
Mile-seok felt like his back was being pulled, but he couldn't even get angry quickly..
Anyway, didn't Mile Seok himself, so excited about the conversation with a child who might become his daughter-in-law, notice that Mok Ri-won was talking about the past?.
Now that I'm angry, the situation has become strange..
“…What happened.”
With those words, Danghwaseo came forward..
“I'll explain everything..”
Mile-seok looked at the Danghwaseo with a confused face..
And then he nodded..
“This was the day I left to carry out a mission in Sacheon..”
What followed was a story about the fate of the Poison King, which Mileseok also heard through rumors..
The more he focused on the story, the more he felt tens of thousands of thoughts come to mind..
The fall of the poison king that we once fought with, and Mok Ri-won, who was dealing with him, and even the incident where his red eyes were discovered in the end..
Would it be explained if each and every one of them was something that made Mileseok sigh?.
“That's how it was.”
Miles sighed..
At that, Tang Hwa-seo pressed the back of Mo Ri-won's head and bowed his head more deeply..
“I'm sorry for making you worry. However, now that I know this, I will be one step ahead of the Mok Cooperatives and prevent this situation. So be generous….”
“It has been done. You don't need to make excuses to me.”
Danghwaseo and Mokriwon raised their heads..
Mile Seok burst out laughing at the sight of two people who looked exactly alike..
‘Still, Won, you met a good person..’
That came to mind before any other thoughts..
I am so glad to see Mokriwon meeting such a warm person and being with him in such a heartless river..
Mok Seon-oh will also feel at ease when he hears this story..
-I'm worried. Doesn't Won have to live with a secret that he can't reveal to anyone, no matter how precious he is? For a lifetime.
-My brother is really worried too. Isn't it possible to meet someone who understands?.
-Is there anyone like that??
‘Brother, there was. Fortunately,.’
Miles smiled softly..
“It can't be helped that it's already been caught. Still, it turned out well, so don’t skip this one time. and um….”
What should we call Danghwaseo?.
Mile Seok thought for a moment..
‘daughter-in-law? Your daughter-in-law? No. Isn't it too early for these things?.’
However, it is too affectionate to call it Danju or Dokbong..
Miles found the answer in a short period of time..
“…baby.”
Danghwaseo was shocked..
But fortunately, there is no sign of dislike..
Mile Seok continued speaking with satisfaction..
“I think I should say thank you for seeing Won the way he is..”
“That's absurd..”
“No, I should say thank you. It must also be said that it is extraordinary. Because you have done a very difficult task..”
Danghwaseo’s head tilted..
Mile Seok’s smile deepened..
“Do you know? The eyes that know how to see people as people themselves cannot be obtained even if you pay hundreds of millions of dollars. Especially in this powerhouse.”
To borrow Mok Seon-oh’s words, it was like that..
“It is wrong to judge others based on their wealth, military power, and personal connections. This is because they cannot be absolute indicators that define an individual. But it's too big to remove. Therefore, in order to see a person properly, you must be able to find the essence visible through the gap..”
But don’t you already have the eyes to see that?.
“Even though I have reached transcendence, there are times when I cannot see clearly. So at first he said he had to kill Won..”
Mok Riwon giggled..
It's probably a reminder of the past..
Mile-seok didn't like that, so he thought that he should at least feed him some chestnuts later and continued..
“But don't you already have what I didn't have?.”
Danghwaseo looks embarrassed..
He also seemed to know how to be humble..
It's an extra point.
“excellent.”
and.
“Please take care of Won..”
Danghwaseo’s eyes widened significantly..
My tightly clenched fist was shaking slightly..
‘Um, right. Still, I don't know what to do when I, who has reached the transcendent level, praises me like this..’
Look at the expression too..
Isn't the excitement showing his spirit as a warrior?.
It is clearly a promise to grow further using this praise as a foundation..
“Now, let's talk about something else..”
Mile Seok organized the situation..
“While I'm here, I have some business to take care of. Kindergarten.”
“yes?”
“At this conference, I plan to have you by my side..”
In fact, more than anything, I should tell you the reason why I came to this temple of Yongbongdan in the first place..
“Kangho is persistent. He is also afraid of the unknown. That's all. A power is when the power behind you becomes your strength..”
So that's it.
“I have to be your back. I think I'll need that if I want to live a strong life in the future..”
Those words took Mokriwon’s breath away..
*
Mile Seok left the Yongbongdan shrine..
And I thought back to what I said just before..
‘Of course, I can't tell the truth as it is..’
The child of the thousand-year-old is a fact known to all the humans who will be there..
And where did he go after leaving Kangho 13 years ago?.
They must have known that too..
‘But I never said it with my mouth.’
The only people who know the truth about Mok Seon-oh and his relationship with him are Namgung-hyuk, the King of Swords, and Salseong Goat-so..
And they are not the type of people to tell such stories to others..
In other words, it's okay to lie..
‘I found Won and went into hiding to raise him because I felt sorry for him. That's enough to explain it.’
The idiosyncrasies of martial arts or their suspicions were not important at all..
‘What will they do if I say so??’
A warrior of transcendence, and a hero among heroes who fought at the forefront of bloodshed..
The person who knew best the weight of the name King Mile-seok was Mile-seok himself..
In other words, even trying to dig into the matter would be a disgrace to oneself..
‘That's enough of an excuse. There's no need to worry any more.’
With that in mind, he was on his way to meet the leader, Sa Baek-un..
“oh my! Beggar man!”
A frivolous voice was heard.
Mile Seok’s steps stopped..
The moment he turned his head and confirmed the owner of the voice, Mileseok's expression crumpled..
“Hey, what is it??”
“Have you already forgotten me? It's me! me! I'm a drunkard!”
King Jingeon, he smiled and put his arm around Mileseok’s shoulder..
Mile Seok pulled away from him with an annoyed look on his face..
“I'm afraid I don't know your name?”
“Oh, why are you talking to me and my wife again? It's only been 15 years for us.”
“I've never wanted to see you for the rest of my life, you bastard..”
Daowang Jingeon.
I like his generous personality, but it was too much and he was a tiring person..
Mile Seok was already feeling dispirited and tried to keep his distance from him..
However, Jin-geon must not have noticed Mile-seok's signs, so he clung to him persistently and said,.
“How have you been? No, we'll talk about this later. Look. Old man. I know who I came with.?”
“What kind of nonsense are you talking about?.”
“Don't be surprised when you hear this!”
Jin Geon exaggeratedly spread his arms and said..
A look of puzzlement appeared on Milesuk’s face..
It was that moment.
“I will give you my greetings in person..”
A voice with a profound resonance echoed in the space..
Miles said ‘Ah’.
“Why did you make such a fuss?.”
Mile Seok clicked his tongue and turned his head..
“I see you came with my guy.?”
“Long time no see. Elderly.”
The person there was a middle-aged man..
Even though the wrinkles and gray hairs on his face showed the passage of time, Mile-seok spoke with an expression that did not change and was immediately recognizable..
“A long time. You bastard.”
King of Jin (陣王) Zhuge Byeok.
Zhuge Shan's father and current head of the Zhuge family..
He arrived at the Murim Alliance.
