The Thousand-Slayer Swords Association-Episode 187
EP.187 Chapter 19 - Cheonghae, rich man (7)

It's excessive.
It was too greedy not to let her go even though he knew the ending was foreseen, and it was also too greedy to try to take her as his wife by showing off his expertise in bloodletting..
“Did you really have to do that?.”
“yes.”
“Wall.”
“I hope for nothing else as a reward for my major..”
Zhuge Byeo told the previous head of the family that he would marry Go Seo-yeon..
It had been two years since the blood feud was at its peak, and at the age of twenty-two, his state had reached its peak, so his intuition that he would not be able to be with Go Seo-yeon if not now was what led Zhuge Byeok to take unreasonable measures..
it worked unfortunately.
“…If that's what you mean.”
The ancestral lord allowed Zhuge Byeo to marry..
There was opposition from the elders, but it was not strong..
Jinryong, Zhuge Wall. The genius of presenting a new direction to the concept of fighting at the age of only 22 and the expertise he established on the battlefield dispelled opposition to the background of his marriage partner..
Zhuge Bai visited the guest house even in the middle of the war..
“customer?”
“Marry me.”
Impatience, that must have been the feeling. That may have been the reason why he couldn't make a fancy marriage proposal, and it may also have been his desperation..
Go Seo-yeon did not give an answer for a long time that day and just looked at Zhuge Byeok..
As always, I looked into the heart of Zhuge Wall..
Then I said.
“The guest is really rude in proposing marriage..”
Zhuge Byeok felt his heart tighten once again at her smile..
“But are you okay? Even if the Grand Duke of the Zhuge family marries someone like me,.”
I wasn't surprised that Ko Seo-yeon knew her identity..
She was a woman who was truly quick-witted and good at reading people, so the only reaction Zhuge Byeo had to show at that moment was joy..
Anyway, isn't it because even though he knew his identity until now, he couldn't shake it off?.
“It can't be done without you.”
For the first time that day, Zhuge Bai smiled..
Go Seo-yeon was surprised and immediately blushed..
“You look really pretty when you make that expression..”
“…The word pretty doesn't suit me..”
“You are definitely pretty. To me, more than anyone else in the world.”
The marriage took place quietly..
Since it was not possible to hold a grand festival while the death ceremony was continuing, only those who were familiar were invited and the ceremony ended..
Zhuge Byeo wasn't afraid of anything that day..
This is because he found the only love that looked at him right and a home with her. And the next year, they also had a son..
“Mountain, let’s name the child Mountain.”
“yes.”
They say love blooms even during war.
With so many wonderful things happening, Zhuge Byeok had more and more reasons to end the war..
Except for one sad news..
“I was born with a star.”
Sword Saint Mok Seon-oh said.
“Jinryong, your son was born with a star. A truly lonely star.”
Zhuge Byeo could not think of any other rebuttal to what he said secretly..
This is because, in addition to his unrivaled strength, Mok Seon-oh was a man who showed many miracles..
It was said that Zhuge Bai felt deep sorrow..
I remembered that I was at a loss as to how to convey that fact to Go Seo-yeon..
I thought it would be better to hide it, but even that was impossible..
“There's something wrong with the child.?”
“….”
“You know it when you see Gaga's face. And I know that the child is twice as good as me..”
I felt guilty. I felt guilty because it seemed like the child's fault was simply due to the poor father..
I tried to lower my head.
However, Go Seo-yeon only said those words while hugging Zhuge Byeok tightly..
“I think it'll be okay. Isn't this Gaga's child?.”
What an unsightly person he was in front of her..
“So don't cry. Don't they say there's nothing more ugly than a grown man crying??”
Zhuge Byeo shed tears for the first time in his life in her arms..
*
blood death is over.
Zhuge Bai became one of the most famous heroes in the Jianghu region and made a golden comeback..
In the process, Mok Seon-oh left Wulin, but Zhuge Byeok did not show much appreciation..
Now that I can finally live the life of my dreams with Go Seo-yeon, there is no time to think about anything else..
“I'm back.”
“Welcome back.”
Young Zhuge Mountain, held in Go Seo-yeon's arms, filled Jege Byeok's retina..
What was rising was fatherhood..
Zhuge Byeok smiled once again that day..
*
Jegal Byeok was still a man who couldn't respond properly to the emotions of others unless Go Seo-yeon was the other person..
It was the same for his son, Zhuge Shan..
He tried to fulfill his role as a father, but emotions, especially those of a child, were too difficult for Zhuge Byeo, so his tone toward Zhuge Mountain was always cold..
“Observe manners at the table.”
You just end up saying things like that..
“It will gradually get better..”
Go Seo-yeon was so comforted..
“Shouldn’t we do what we can right now??”
What you can do as a father.
Zhuge Byeo continued to worry about him for quite a long time..
And only then did I find the answer: to make the family great that I would pass on to my son..
From that day on, Zhuge Byeo devoted himself to work..
He appropriately accepted the opinions of the family elders and worked to expand the influence of the family..
With the sole hope that the family that will be passed down to Zhugeshan will be better than it is now..
This is how Zhuge Mountain turned seven years old..
“Do you remember Gaju, Geumhwajang’s women’s meal??”
“…Are you talking about a past engagement partner?.”
“They once again sent their intention to get married..”
As if a dream was just a dream, the sweet moment slowly began to come to an end..
*
In the early days, before the world's top tier grew in power, many top tier groups fought to increase their power in the central plains..
Among these merchants, Jinhuajang was the most influential merchant in Hubei..
Of course, there can be no better marriage partner for the Zhuge family..
Therefore, from a very young age, Zhuge Byeo's fiancé was selected as Geumhwajang's wife..
Now, Zhuge Byeok understands the reason why they are pursuing marriage once again..
The top of the world is calling for power. Their influence began to engulf the central plain at such a rapid pace that Geumhwajang's position was shaking accordingly..
Gold makeup requires a shield. A strong shield with both honor and power.
“refuse.”
“This is a difficult situation..”
“Why?.”
“The ledger was taken from the gold store..”
There is nothing more dangerous than a cornered animal..
Geumhwajang took extreme measures to survive from the top of the world..
It was a secret ledger that had been kept between the Zhuge family and Geumhwajang..
Even if it aims for the right, it is ultimately a profit group..
Sega couldn't have had a dark side..
If the ledger is revealed to the world, the world will be devastated..
Even if it's not a downfall, you'll lose a lot of what you've built up so far..
The family that Zhuge Shan will inherit collapses..
That fact was only making Zhuge Byeok sick..
“get married.”
“Yuna.”
“Isn’t it inevitable?.”
The woman who has always provided support and support is willing to sacrifice herself again this time..
It was something I couldn't be thankful for and felt guilty about..
Zhuge Bai became a sinner.
There was bitterness in her smile, and there was no way to express it other than to say that she had become a sinner..
“Are you okay?.”
“it's okay.”
Go Seo-yeon said.
“It's okay because I know Gaga loves me..”
It was a choice.
Zhuge Byeo weighed the family and Go Seo-yeon..
The scale, which was supposed to tilt directly toward where Go Seo-yeon was located, could not easily determine the superior of the two..
This is because the weight of Zhuge Mountain is added to the weight of the family..
“I….”
Zhuge Byeo had to choose.
“…I am a sinner.”
I had to make a truly bitter choice..
*
I already knew that the elders of the family did not like Ko Seo-yeon..
However, since he couldn't make them all shut up, Zhuge Bai was pained by those words..
Still, it was okay. I thought it was okay.
I was confident that one day, when Zhuge Mountain grows splendidly, this evaluation will all change..
“…The head of the family and the elders take the side of the second madam..”
But how can fate be so ironic?.
“The first lady's seat….”
“I'm fine, so please take care of Sani..”
“…sister.”
“Muyeon, just promise me one thing. I decided to just be on San’s side..”
The second wife from Geumhwajang was vicious..
Since he wanted to take over the world in order to save Geumhwajang, he had no choice but to show his viciousness..
If it weren't for Zhang Bu's existence, Zhuge Bai would never have forgiven her..
“The head of the family, are you really planning on marrying this wife??”
everything was painful.
Sleeping with her was hard, her whispers were curses, her touches were hideous..
Still, I couldn't shake it off.
That might have been the problem.
“it's okay. I'm fine, take care of yourself first..”
Also, it would have been problematic to just rely on Go Seo-yeon's comfort..
For a long time, I hoped that Zhuge Shan would live righteously and not be swayed by the stars..
Someday, when Jegal-san grows up and takes charge of the family, he and Go Seo-yeon will go to a quiet place to atone for the sins they have committed throughout their lives..
I drew a future that was too far away.
Not being able to see the present was a defeat..
“…Madam has passed away.”
The merchant's greed was so extreme.
