Chapter 155
Episode 155 The more you become a master, the hotter your aspirations become..
Jin Ha-ryeong ordered noodles and alcohol..
She came alone and for some reason she ordered two bowls of noodles..
Her expressionless expression and soft tone made people nervous, and neither Jeom So-i, who was taking the order, nor Seo Dae-ryong, who was sitting across from her, could look her in the eyes..
And she had a knack for finding people who weren't nervous about her..
Our eyes met, and I caught a glimpse of something in her eyes. It must have been rare for someone to look at their own face so calmly..
But soon she looked elsewhere..
The sound of Seodaeryong flew in..
―It's really pretty. The women of the Jeongpa faction are really very pretty..
I was reminded of Seo Dae-ryong’s voice..
Even though she felt Seo Dae-ryong's eyes spying on her, she didn't pay any attention to it, as if it was a familiar daily routine..
Soon, two bowls of alcohol and noodles came out..
As she was about to pour the drink, Seo Dae-ryong gained courage..
“I'll pour you a drink.”
Jin Ha-ryeong stared at Seo Dae-ryong..
“There is no other meaning. It was fate that we just sat in one place..”
But Jin Ha-ryeong poured and drank alone without saying a word..
The sound of self-reproach as the world collapses has been heard..
―Oh, did I say that in such a boring way? Sitting in one place was meant to be! ah! Even my grandfather wouldn't have said that..
At that time, Jin Ha-ryeong asked me as he put down his drink..
“Do you want to participate in the small dragon battle??”
He looked at her for a moment, then looked at Seo Dae-ryong and said.
“Our master is participating..”
“master?”
“yes. I am a servant serving you, Master..”
Jin Ha-ryeong looked at me and Seo Dae-ryong in turn with an expression of surprise. Seo Dae-ryong scolded me for no reason with a look in his eyes as if he were asking if you were a master and that was a servant..
“It's because the young guy grew a beard. You bastard! Aren’t you confused by that dirty beard??”
“Sorry, master..”
Soon she started eating noodles as if she had no interest in this or that..
The sound of Seodaeryong flew in..
―It's not good to see it again. this girl.
I laughed inwardly as I saw Seo Dae-ryong pouting his mouth..
At that time, a man in his early thirties came into the guest room. Judging from his prayers and gait, he was a considerable expert and looked like Jin Ha-ryeong's bodyguard..
“I searched for a while.”
“sit down.”
“You have to go now.”
“Just sit down. We're not the only ones here?”
The man looked us over quickly and sat down next to her..
She pushed the noodles in front of him..
“Eat. The noodles here are delicious.”
She knew this man would come for her and ordered two bowls of noodles..
“it's okay.”
“I'm not okay. Hurry up and eat it.”
“yes.”
The man started eating noodles. I slurped the noodles and quickly finished the soup..
If Ian were there, he would have said he understood the man. Guard warriors have no choice but to make it a habit to eat quickly like that..
At that time, Jin Ha-ryeong said to him:.
“If you eat it that fast, you'll die from the inside before you get stabbed..”
“I'm fine.”
“you are fine It's always because I'm not okay.”
The man stood up and urged her..
“You must go now. He must be looking for a lady..”
“Okay, I have to go..”
Jin Ha-ryeong finished his drink, stood up, and went outside with the man..
As she disappeared into the distance, Seo Dae-ryong said with faint eyes:.
“I came here as if by fate and left after eating only noodles..”
“When I saw it again, they said it wasn’t that good.?”
“It's just my narrow-mindedness, but that doesn't mean she's ugly. You are the prettiest woman I've ever seen here..”
“That girl can't do it.”
“why? I can't look like a servant, right? That's right?”
“No matter how much I grow my beard, I cannot hide my identity as a master..”
“Why, Mr. Gakju??”
“Because the love between the son of the Heavenly Demon and the granddaughter of the Murim Lord is such a fateful love..”
Seo Dae-ryong was surprised to hear that she was the granddaughter of the Murim lord..
“She's the Murim Lord's granddaughter.?”
“okay.”
“Why does the Murim Maeng granddaughter eat noodles in a guesthouse like this? Even while doing it together,?”
“I don't know that either. I guess he got tired of the banquet hall filled with expensive and rare dishes and ran out. Or maybe I wanted to eat this restaurant's noodles.”
“ah! Life is truly unpredictable. Who would have thought that I would be sitting in the guest room in front of the Lord and the Murim Lord and the Murim Lord's granddaughter??”
“Is that all there is? You will also dance with the Murim Lord's granddaughter..”
Seo Dae-ryong was even more surprised..
“What are you saying??”
“She will also appear in Soryongjeon.”
Seo Dae-ryong’s eyes widened..
This is why I remember this Soyongjeon. Because it was a contest that made her name known to everyone..
The winner of this competition was Jin Ha-ryeong..
At the time, I thought it was just like that and moved on. It wasn't surprising that the Murim Lord's granddaughter won the martial arts competition of the late Jisoos..
But now I know. That there is Cheonmyeonghoe behind this competition..
From then on, Jin Ha-ryeong's fate took a turn that shocked the world, and this competition was the starting point..
“Win, Inspector Seo.”
Seo Dae-ryong realized that I was speaking sincerely and drank the drink in front of him..
“You're saying something I can't answer while I'm sober..”
* * *
The next day, Seo Dae-ryong’s first dance was held..
The Murimmaeng outer circle was decorated with dozens of non-stages, and each non-stage was crowded with participants and spectators..
However, even though there were so many people, the dance proceeded in a steady and orderly manner..
There is a certain sense of intimidation that the Murim League gives. In addition, since the martial artists conducting the martial arts competition were from the Blue Dragon Dan, one of the elite organizations of the Murim Alliance, there was no one who caused any quarrels or disturbances..
The military official in charge of the royal family to which Seo Dae-ryong belongs came and advised precautions..
“If you intentionally injure or kill your opponent, you will be eliminated. Also, be careful as you may be found guilty and imprisoned. This fight is not a legitimate non-ignorant fight for life..”
The first opponent was a warrior from the swordsmanship school of Hubei. He had a rather stocky body and fierce eyes..
“I'm shaking to death.”
“I was nervous like this when I took the inspector promotion exam at Hwangcheongak.?”
“At that time, I didn’t feel nervous at all..”
“Same thing, right? what you tried.”
Seo Dae-ryong opened his eyes wide and looked at me..
“I know very well that you trained harder than anyone else. That's why I'm here. If it wasn't for that, I would have grown my beard and moved up..”
Seo Dae-ryong nodded his head vigorously, as if my words had found strength..
“I will win and come back.”
Seo Dae-ryong defeated his opponent in just three moves and came down. I won without even drawing a sword..
“It's too easy?”
“Don't forget whose disciple you are.”
Seo Dae-ryong finally had the opportunity to look at his skills objectively. He still doesn't know how important this is to the unmanned Seo Daeryong..
At that time, the person in charge of the dance came and informed me..
“The next meeting is in the afternoon, so don't go anywhere and wait..”
Since it was still early in the competition, it seemed like they were massaging twice a day..
“This means that if you get injured in the morning dance, you have to play the afternoon dance with the injury still on. This means I want to see your fighting spirit.?”
“What is fighting spirit? I guess it's because I have a busy schedule..”
“Please do not look down on the fighting spirit of our political faction.!”
“Yes, master! Let's burn your fighting spirit!”
In the afternoon, Seo Dae-ryong easily won the non-mudo event. I won this time too without using Tao..
“How do you feel about your winning streak on the first day??”
“It's good?”
It was Seo Dae-ryong who had studied diligently from Hyeolcheon Doma until now, but had never practiced dancing like this before..
“I was very nervous before going up, but I wasn't that nervous once I was actually standing on the non-stage. It was a strange experience.”
“I told you it would be a good experience.”
“I have never regretted listening to you..”
“Go and rest first.”
“What about each note??”
“I'll take a look around.”
“Yes, then I will go first..”
I sent Seo Dae-ryong off first and then looked back at the off-stage..
Dance was still in full swing on all non-stages..
At that time, I saw that a non-stage was unusually crowded with people watching. When I got there, Jin Ha-ryeong, whom I saw yesterday, was on the non-stage..
She was the granddaughter of the Murim lord and so beautiful that she was called the best beauty in Hubuk, so she was literally the center of attention. Onlookers exchanged stories about her..
“But why did the Lord's granddaughter participate in this competition??”
“Even if it were my granddaughter, I wouldn't just give her a seat. If you want to join the Murim Alliance, shouldn’t you come in confidently with your skills??”
“That's right, that's right. Didn’t Jin Soje’s brother also win the competition a few years ago and join the Murim Alliance??”
“also! Our leader is a fair and fair man..”
Jin Ha-ryeong also subdued his opponent without even drawing his sword..
She came off the stage receiving cheers and left the stage without giving anyone a single glance. People were even more excited by that arrogant appearance..
After looking around some more, I returned to the guesthouse. Seo Dae-ryong went to the mountains to practice and returned late at night. Although he won easily today, he seemed to be worried about the remaining matches..
“As I said, I'm the type of person who can't do anything if I don't come first. If you don't go out, you don't go out. If you go out, you have to do your best..”
Where could Seo Dae-ryong's pulpit have appeared? I guess my personality was created because of this hard work..
Seo Dae-ryong won the match the next day..
“Are you saying you didn't even watch my match??”
“There is an interesting matchup on another non-stage..”
“Who? I'm sure she's not the Murim Lord's granddaughter.?”
“that's right.”
This time, I watched Jin Ha-ryeong’s match. Considering Seo Dae-ryong’s skills, he might have to face her. Of course, it wouldn't be right away because the groups were different, but if I became the winner of the group and advanced to the finals, I could face her..
And there was a more important reason to care about her. She was the target and center of the conspiracy planned by this Cheonmyeonghoe. I'm sure she will be the conduit that connects me to them..
“And then when I meet a strong enemy?”
“Would you have just gone? I went to see who the opponent was. We won by attacking the left loophole.?”
“uh? how did you know?”
“I saw him walking.”
It relieved Seo Dae-ryong’s feelings of admiration. 'Cause this is my moment to admire him.
“It feels good to win?”
“Honestly it's awesome!”
“Well done.”
Seo Dae-ryong could not hide the joy on his face..
“Do you know when you feel the best? Surprisingly, it wasn't the moment of defeating the opponent. The best time was when I finished dancing and came off the stage. I was more nervous and excited at that moment when people looked at me, cheered and applauded me. This time I realized that I am a person who is very conscious of what other people think..”
“The more you become an expert, the more people will want to look at you.?”
“Is that possible??”
“why? Do you think it will become more gentle? become more humble?”
“Isn't it??”
“Let's assume that someone becomes the best person in the world. The moment you become the best person in the world, will you like the fact that you beat the existing best person in the world? Or would it be better if from that day on, everyone respected and looked up to me as the best person in the world??”
Imagine going somewhere and shouting, ‘The best person in the world is coming!’ Imagine that everyone you meet looks at you with respect and envy. Imagine hearing victory drums, applause and cheers all the time..
“All people's hearts are the same. No, the more you become an expert, the hotter and more primal your desire may become. The greatest person in the world has a broader heart? Is that really true? I am the best person in the world and you treat me like this? Are you confident you won't fall into this trap? Do you have the confidence to bury that pettiness that you no longer need to hide?.”
After a moment, Seo Dae-ryong said:.
“Still, you’re not a footnote, are you? You probably don't?”
“Why do you think I'm not? Am I not a person? Same. I'm trying not to be like that..”
“It feels so good to have this conversation with Gakju. I feel like I have finally become truly unmanned. I wonder when I’ve ever felt my heart pounding like this. I sincerely apologize for insisting that I would not participate in this competition..”
But our Seo Dae-ryong’s mind changed the next day..
“I almost died! It's not just that I almost died, I really almost died! Ugh, I told you I wouldn’t! I want to go back!”
“It's scratched. are you okay.”
“Scratched? Can't you see this blood? Oh, if I hadn't narrowly avoided it, I would have had a hole this big in my shoulder! The sword was so big.”
“Your partner can't even wake up right now.”
The opponent who had seen the blood on Seo Dae-ryong's shoulder was unconscious and still unable to come to his senses..
“I don't know, please send me home! I'm going to go water the flower pots.!”
Seo Dae-ryong, who was like this, felt better again the next day..
Seo Dae-ryong was receiving the attention he wanted even from off-stage..
Even though he was just walking, there were many eyes glancing at him. They even whispered among themselves..
“What is this??”
“Yesterday, that guy was the favorite to win the Hwangja Group. Thanks to you, you also became one of the people receiving attention in this competition..”
It brought all the attention to the opponent who had a hard time defeating it yesterday..
“Don't look at that blue dress on the right. He looked at me twice. Ah, see you again.”
“Anyway, I walk a little faster?”
Seo Dae-ryong was moving slowly, enjoying everyone's attention..
“ah! The women on the far left seem to be buzzing while looking at me..”
“To me, it looks like they are discussing what to eat..”
At that time, a young woman wearing a sword rushed over and greeted Seo Dae-ryong..
“I enjoyed the game yesterday. Fight well today too.”
I nodded and left..
Seo Dae-ryong froze and stared blankly at her back..
“Footnote.”
“why?”
“I didn't pay people to buy it just to make me feel better.?”
“Considering how proud you are, I'd like to say yes, but no..”
“Really not? This really feels like a dream.”
Seo Daeryong was really happy. I think it was the first time that a woman came first and expressed her interest like this..
I wanted him to enjoy this joy and excitement. He will never forget the dance here..
I hope Seo Dae-ryong will sit his grandson on his lap and tell him stories about those days. The story begins with ‘It may be hard to believe, but this old man is young.’.
“Let's go! To win!”
Was it because of the woman’s support??
Seo Dae-ryong continued to win, easily winning the royal group and advancing to the finals. Now, the finals were a competition in which the top players from each group gathered together to compete..
“I'm going to the end!”
Seodaeryong was on fire independently of his mission. Yes, it is a moment that will come only a few times in your life. Rather than becoming the best person in the world when you get older, this will be a more thrilling, exciting, and valuable moment. Yes, burn up, great dragon..
