Chapter 206
Episode 206 Who really refuses?.
After meeting my father, I went straight to Ma Yi’s dressing room..
At the time, he was treating a critically ill patient. He was so badly injured that not only the patient but also the surrounding area was covered in blood. The first thing I smelled when I came back was the iron smell of the iron room, but the next thing I smelled was blood..
“Is there anything I can help you with??”
“It's okay.”
I stood from a distance and watched him receive treatment. The doctor was doing everything he could to save the patient's life, covered in blood..
People who have reached the pinnacle of a field, such as Kwak Bang-ju or Ma Eui of the Iron Room, give a similar feeling. The effort and concentration to save people was similar to that of Kwak Bang-ju, who was determined to make a good sword..
Eventually, after completing the war-like treatment, the doctor walked towards me..
“I waited a long time?”
“no. Is it okay to see the mystery of a dying person coming back to life for free??”
“Originally, I was a person who would live..”
I worked so hard to get it, how could that possibly happen? The luck of having Ma Ui as a congressman saved his life..
I washed my hands and face with the water that the doctor had stored in the corner of the medical room. When I looked at his skinny arms, I felt sorry for him..
“I couldn't visit you often because I was busy. sorry.”
“Nope. You can look at it like this once in a while. I've been listening to your news. Thank you for making me think that I made the right choice every time..”
“Thanks to Uiseon..”
“Are your eyes okay??”
“No problem. It's a shame because it looks so good.”
“Good thing.”
When I decided to kill Yayulhan, I wanted to see him..
‘There is also a reason why I visited Ma-ui to gain courage after hearing my father say, 'It is absolutely impossible.' I would like to tell you that I plan to kill Yayulhan from now on, but I will do that only after receiving permission from my father..
“It's been a long time coming, so let's have a cup of tea and leave..”
“great.”
I talked about various things with Ma-ui. I was going to tell you all the stories I had been putting off, but then another patient arrived, so I had to stop..
“See you again.”
“I'm busy, but it doesn't seem like that..”
I will definitely come back again soon.
* * *
The next person I visited was Hyeolcheon Doma..
Hyeolcheon Doma was sitting in his seat with his back to the ground and having a fortune-telling breakfast. The heat of training lingered in the surrounding space. Even while I was out playing with the martial arts team, Hyeolcheondoma was not resting from his martial arts training..
“Elderly! I'm back.”
While I greeted them excitedly as if it was a golden return, Hyeolcheon Doma greeted me calmly, as if I had seen him yesterday..
“If you've come a long way, take a break, why did you come here??”
“Why are you coming? Even if no one else knows, you have to say hello to the elderly. And I have something to report to you..”
“what to see?”
I sat face to face in front of the Hyeolcheon cutting board..
“I became a disciple of that magician..”
Hyeolcheontoma glanced at me and said nothing..
“What is this dull response??”
“What kind of reaction did you expect??”
“Are you going to suddenly become my disciple without getting my permission? Or get angry. If you want to be a disciple, you have to be my disciple. Are you jealous?.”
Then, Hyeolcheondoma said something unexpected..
“There is no Majon who will take you as a disciple unless you are a magician..”
“what do you mean by that?”
“In terms of personality.”
“What about the elderly??”
“I like students like Daeryong. A disciple who teaches freely.”
“ah! poor inspector.”
“It's the price of recklessly grabbing someone's pant leg..”
I say this because their relationship began when Seo Dae-ryong got drunk and grabbed Hyeolcheon Doma's trouser leg at a pub..
Of course I know. Even though Hyeolcheondoma says so, he cares for Seo Dae-ryong a lot. Otherwise, I wouldn't have chosen him as the next Hyeolcheon Doma..
“If I keep you as my disciple, you will get sick in less than a month..”
“I can't deny it.”
“On the other hand, horseback riding doesn't get sick..”
“why is that so?”
“Because he is a person who has no intention of bullying anyone in the first place. If the leader and I are fire, he is water..”
I thought Gwonma was fire like his father, but Hyeolcheondoma felt him like water. Maybe he's right. Since he is fire and water, he might have gotten along well with his father..
“To be honest, I was worried that the elderly person would be upset..”
“I'm afraid I'll get upset because I'm a narrow-minded old man.?”
“What a narrow-minded person. It's just because you have deep affection for me..”
“It would have been like that in the past. If it were me before I saw you, I would definitely have been disappointed..”
“For now?”
“Things have changed now. Because of you.”
“It's because of me?”
“Are you such a narrow-minded old man and say such things when you won't let me go with you??”
“……!”
I never dreamed he would think like this.
“After I formed a relationship with you, I started to look back at myself. You stimulated me to no end. At first it annoyed me, then it surprised me, and now it's driving me..”
“Is that also the aspect of your training??”
“okay. I have a feeling that if I just trust in my existing abilities and walk around pretending to be proud, I will be blown away by the wind and rain. you have already begun to ascend.”
When I first met him, he said to me: The ascending dragon is said to be bringing rain and wind. Until then, it was just a metaphor, but now it has become a reality..
Hyeolcheon Doma stared at me with serious eyes, and I didn't joke about it like I used to. He is right. If we wander around believing in our abilities, we will all die..
So I had to keep going.
“I will write the first of thirty-three requests I can write..”
Hearing my words, Hyeolcheondoma blinked and asked..
“Thirty-three favors? Was there something like that between us??”
“Of course not. I think I will need to receive help from my elders 33 times in my future life. I decided it arbitrarily..”
“Whoever wants?”
“You must not catch a cold until I have done thirty-three favors for you. Do you know?”
Since it was an unreasonable decision that also contained my desire to live a long life, Hyeolcheon Doma laughed as if he couldn't stop it..
“What are you asking for??”
“Please convince your father.”
“Cult leader? how?”
“I would like permission to kill Yayulhan of the Sadomaeng..”
Hyeolcheondoma was not surprised. He was so calm that I wondered if I really needed to be this surprised..
“why aren't you surprised?”
“Because you're crazy, I thought you could do something like this..”
“It's not the wind and rain of the ascending dragon.?”
“no. this is just crazy.”
“Please let me do that crazy thing just once..”
“Let me ask you why. Why are you trying to kill him??”
I told Hyeolcheon Doma that the golden pig Jisaeng, a subordinate of Yayulhan, is using Sinseonchae to lead the youth of Wurim to destruction..
I couldn't tell him about Ma Yi's revenge. Because it was an extremely personal matter..
“If that's the reason, the religious leader won't allow it..”
“That's why I'm asking you to do it..”
After a moment, Hyeolcheondoma asked:.
“If permission is given... … I have the confidence to kill?”
“I have to try it.”
“He is a bastard, but the martial arts skills of his subordinates who protect him are also formidable. If things go wrong there, it could escalate into a war between our church and the Apostolic Alliance..”
Hyeolcheondoma was also worried that war would break out..
“Is it worth taking that risk??”
“Young people who have just come out into the world are deceived by these worn-out guys and forced into all kinds of evil deeds, and end up killing themselves or committing suicide. Is it worth it? Yes, it's worth it..”
Even though it was not his promise to Ma-ui, Yayul-han's evil deeds will continue even afterward..
In my life before my return, I did not pay much attention to the Apostolic Alliance because I was busy looking for Dafa materials. However, in the meantime, the constant rumors were about evil deeds related to Yayulhan's subordinates..
If fate has placed me in front of him at this point, I think it is right to deal with it this time..
“Why was someone like you born at this school? I was not born as the son of the Murim lord..”
“I guess they told you not to fight with the elders..”
Hyeolcheondoma sighed lightly..
“There is someone from the Apostolic Association who can help me..”
“Who is it??”
“This is Bisain, the successor to the Sapostolic Alliance..”
Bisain will definitely help me, even if only to repay my past debt, and he will be a great helper..
After pondering for a moment, Hyeolcheon Doma and Gwonma said the same thing..
“To change the cult leader's mind, all eight mazons will have to come forward. If you demonstrate that level of ability, the cult leader will also have a reason to break his heart..”
My heart became heavy because these were the opinions of the two people who knew my father best..
“Palmazon is difficult. Right now, Mabul and Poison King are supporters of their brother and will not help them..”
Hyeolcheon Doma said as he pulled out the sword from the ground..
“Are they really the only ones who refuse??”
He added as he entered the house..
“Your real human relationship might start now..”
* * *
Indeed, it was as expected by Hyeolcheon Doma..
Ilhwa Geomzone flatly refused. I really rejected it as cleanly as her swordsmanship..
“That won't work.”
The reason for the refusal was also clear..
“Mr. Lee, since it is you, I will be honest. I don't want to get noticed by the cult leader for something like this..”
I could understand. From a young age, she had higher respect for her father than anyone else. I don't want to go and ask my father for something he would never allow..
“I understand, sir..”
To be honest, I had somewhat expected that Ilhwa Geomzone would reject it. It was because I thought it was one step further away from Ilhwa Geomzon than other Mazones. Because I didn't have a chance to have a deep personal relationship with her other than Bimu..
“Are you sad??”
If you answer in a blunt way, you'll really make her feel bad..
“Yes, I am sorry. You are doing it too much!”
Ilhwa Geomzon smiled..
“I hope you understand.”
Only then did I smile, half joking and half serious..
“I understand. Is my father an ordinary person? I know how much pressure you must be under..”
“Thank you for your understanding..”
“Sorry, but this may not be the end. I might come back to persuade you again..”
“I know.”
However, it was not easy to get permission for this even from someone who was considered one step closer to her..
The next person to visit was Chuma, and when asked to persuade his father, he suddenly started pretending to be drunk..
“ah! I suddenly feel drunk.”
Chuma put his head on the drinking table and pretended to be asleep..
As I drank in silence, he bowed down and said,.
“All other requests are accepted. What should I do for you? If you want me to buy you alcohol for the rest of my life, buy me alcohol. Shall I lend you money? Should I go to Wicked Song and beat them up again??”
“That's it. Please convince my father.”
Then Chuma, who had his head down on the drinking table, got up and jumped into the lake..
Chuma swam like a crazy person from end to end of the lake and came back to the pavilion. He sat down in his original seat with his body dripping water and said with a solemn expression..
“I'd rather quit drinking.”
You're saying you want to quit drinking. I ended up laughing.
“It's that hard?”
“What will the religious leader think if I visit him? Look at this guy, he clearly knows that I am against it, but he comes to me and tries to persuade me? Even so, the leader hates me..”
“Why does my father hate my brother??”
“I hate it. The leader hates drunkards, and he hates people who use poison. The leader is a person with clear likes and dislikes. I can't do it! You can never do it! I'm sorry, brother..”
I didn't bother him anymore. If it were something else, how could I not understand it if it was related to my father? Even if the reason is not because of the father, if the other person does not like it, you cannot force it..
“If you're sorry, stop drinking for 10 days from today.!”
“Stop drinking! Sorry!”
“Why are you sorry bro? I should be sorry for bothering you with something unreasonable..”
“This shouldn't ruin our relationship.!”
“Brother, the reason our relationship is getting worse is not because I asked for a favor or because he refused the request..”
“Then why does it get worse??”
“When you're not honest. Imagine if I honestly answered, “This is why I can’t do it,” and that I could do it, but that I would do it to suit my current mood. If you try to do something you don't want to do, you'll get irritated and angry. In the end, you will even hate me?”
Chuma nodded with an expression that would have been the same..
“Good rejection, bro. I will continue to ask a lot of favors from now on. Come with me when I'm beating up someone, have a drink with me when I'm lonely, help me convince that person. Bro, you have to be honest like this back then too. Since I refused last time, I have to force myself to do it this time. You should never think like this! That's when we part ways, okay??”
Chwima, who was staring at me quietly, said.
“From today onwards, you will be my brother. I'm serious.”
“I don't like it. What do you say to my younger brother who just enjoys teasing my older brother? older brother!”
“Ugh, I'm embarrassed for the world..”
“As for other things, being afraid of your father is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. I'm going. I'll probably come back for this again. See you then.”
So I retreated from the residence of the drunkard..
Hyeolcheondoma was right. Maybe it's harder to convince the Mazons than it is to convince my father..
It's difficult to convince Ilhwageomjon and Chwima, who I think are on my side, so my father will give permission only if all eight of us go and talk. I sighed, but now is not the time to be frustrated, it is time to find a way..
The next place I headed to was where my fighting comrades were. I was curious about his reaction.
