Chapter 39
Episode 39 This is what you do in times like this.
On my way back from meeting Ilhwa Geomzon, I found Hyeolcheon Doma waiting at the corner of the road where I always waited..
“What did the fox say??”
He was on edge because of Ilhwageomzone..
“They told me to cut ties with the elderly..”
“also! What did I say? You said you would, right? Or tell me the reason?”
“He said that Hyeolcheondoma and I have different ideals. The old man is so free-spirited…….”
“It's so damn.”
Cold demonic energy swirled out of his body..
“So what are you going to do??”
“Of course, I have to join hands with the side that offers better conditions..”
“what?”
I intentionally provoked Hyeolcheon Doma..
“When you can weigh it, you should. Wouldn’t you do it if you were an elderly person??”
Hyeolcheondoma could not get angry. I would have done that myself.
“The elderly still have the upper hand. Could it be that you can come up with something better than the heavenly shrine??”
“You can do it. This is a person who will do anything to ruin me..”
“Why on earth did you fall out with Ilhwa Geomzon??”
After a moment, Hyeolcheondoma said:.
“Is there a reason to hate people??”
i know why.
These are two people who have reasons why no one in the world can trust them. If they are evil, they are evil, and their greed for power is second to none..
“Would you like a drink? If you die like this, won’t your heart be complicated and bitter for no reason??”
“how do you see me?”
“Cool- headedness? I don't think that's a virtue. When I'm upset, I get upset, and when I'm in a bad mood, I talk it out. Now, let's go. I'll buy you a drink today.”
After thinking about it for a moment, Hyeolcheondoma leapt forward and said:.
“Waiting in the village.”
He disappeared into the distance in an instant..
With an old man's temper.
But it's definitely changed since the first time you came to me and poked me in the side..
Hyeolcheon Doma was waiting for me in front of the Pungryu bar run by Cho Chun-bae..
“I thought you were going to Giru..”
“I don't like places where women come out..”
“It's unexpected.?”
“Unexpected? why? Looks like I'm lighting up a woman?”
“No, it's not like that. My dead brother liked Giru..”
“Decrease the taste of alcohol. Stop talking about him..”
“yes.”
Actually, I brought it out on purpose. To prevent the hurt in his heart from festering inside him. It didn't seem like it was necessary for Blood Heavenly Chopping Demon, but.
I asked as I sat down at the Pungryu bar..
“Why did you choose this pub??”
“They opened a Hwangcheongak branch across the street..”
I think I stopped here when I saw it while passing by..
“Be careful. If you hit someone on the street for no reason, even the elderly person will be caught by me..”
Hyeolcheondoma looked dumbfounded at my joke..
Cho Chun-bae welcomed us warmly..
“Welcome, footnote.”
“It's been a while.”
“It's an honor to have you here again..”
“I come here because the drinks and snacks taste good..”
As Jo Chun-bae, who took the order, disappeared toward the kitchen, Hyeolcheon Doma opened his mouth..
“You are unnecessarily kind..”
“Is there anything wrong with being kind??”
“If you are attracted to recognition, you will inevitably end up doing something wrong. Let’s take that owner as an example. I wonder if the food will turn out well when you are so kind. Or, will it come out better if you say you'll kill it if it doesn't taste good? In that respect, the Archduke has an advantage over you..”
“It's definitely easier for the heartless to live in this world..”
“It's not too late yet.”
“Even so, I won't get on that heartless carriage..”
“The reason is?”
“Because I believe that the dish served right now will taste better if it is made with joy and whistling rather than in fear..”
“One day, the author will use your kindness to ask for and demand something bigger. If you don't listen, I'll criticize and curse you. Because that's human.”
“One day, that person will give me something bigger in return for this small act of kindness I showed them. Maybe it will save my life. That's also human.”
“Let's see where we go.”
we drank together.
“Actually, I think you are a more emotional person than me..”
“How could you block my way with those eyes? Even if I look at the wrong person, I look at it wrong for a long time..”
I think I saw it well. In this whole process of becoming entangled with me, he was emotionally drained. Even now, at this very moment, he is having a conversation that has never happened in his life..
“While I'm at it, let me just say one thing: From now on, I think you'll have to take care of the demons and the disciples. Otherwise, you will continue to collide with the Nether Pavilion..”
Hyeolcheondoma suddenly raised his head and looked at me coldly..
“I'm getting more and more proud..”
“The person who is brave is the old man..”
“what?”
“Aren’t you looking down on our school and your father? Because it’s me, I’m a chopping board. What does it matter what my students are like? Isn't it??”
Boom!
The table was broken and the wine bottle and bowl containing the snacks fell and broke..
“You are so cocky. Sometimes I really want to beat you to death.”
Hyeolcheondoma, who was glaring at me, shouted at Jo Chun-bae..
“Why are you standing there looking at me like that? Bring the table here and bring me new drinks and snacks.!”
“In times like this, you don't do it that way, you do it this way..”
I got up from my seat and moved to the seat next to me..
And put money on the table.
“I'm sorry. This money will be enough for the broken things and the sales lost today..”
Jo Chun-bae waved his hand saying he would not accept the money..
“it's okay. It's really okay.”
“I'm not okay. Take it and come back here to the drinking table. Break the upper leg.”
“yes!”
Jo Chun-bae took the money and quickly ran to the kitchen..
Hyeolcheon Doma was very impressed..
“Tell me to do something like that?”
“If you don't want to do it, you can't hit it..”
“Are you trying to teach good deeds to Mazon now??”
“The magic I'm trying to establish doesn't break guests' cups just because they feel bad..”
“what are you!”
“Stop yelling and come sit down..”
In the end, Hyeolcheon Doma sat down at the table I moved to..
“bouncer. I'm sure you're crazy.!”
He glared at me and said coldly.
“If you betray me, I will kill you..”
Cho Chun-bae, who was bringing in new drinks, was startled, but then pretended not to hear, put down the drinks and glasses, and returned to the kitchen..
I poured a new glass full of alcohol and gave it to Hyeolcheondoma..
“Are you serious about what you said a moment ago??”
“Yes, I'm serious..”
“Then be sincerely loyal to me. That threat from earlier is a threat that can be made at such times. When you are sincerely loyal but then betray and abandon you, that is when you can drive a sword into the heart of your master..”
The blood-cheon chopping block could not refute.
I poured my glass full of alcohol and held it out for a toast..
Hyeolcheondoma snorted and drank alone. Even though we didn't clink the glasses, I could hear them clinking in my mind..

A person entered Ilhwageomzone’s pillory..
He was Saujong, her right hand man..
“Gongja Lee is currently meeting Hyeolcheondoma and drinking alcohol..”
Ilhwa Geomzon, who was standing with his back turned, said nothing..
“He's a cocky guy..”
Then, Ilhwa Geomzon finally turned and glared coldly at Saujong. Sau Zong lowered his head..
“sorry.”
“Be careful what you say. There is nothing more vulgar than talking rudely behind someone’s back..”
“I will keep this in mind in the future.”
Saujong knew that Geomjon would be angry, but he deliberately criticized Geomjugeuk. Because he believed that he represented the feelings that she could not express on the outside..
Saujong believed that he was a special being to Geomjon. Although she treated the gatekeeper with respect, she was comfortable treating herself poorly. he was special.
“He's not the engineer I used to know..”
In just a few months after the dance competition, the storm caused by the sword dance was growing bigger and bigger..
“Anyway, it's a typhoon in a teacup..”
Saujong underestimated Geommugeuk, but Ilhwa Geomjon thought differently..
“What if that teacup is big enough to hold all of Wurim? That greedy old man offered up an extravagant shrine. It's like giving your all. Thomas must have seen in Lee Gongja the potential to become his successor..”
“Did you also see potential in Lee Gongja??”
The sword dance performance was definitely unexpected. However, it was not enough to give an elixir like that of the Heavenly God..
So I'm annoyed. I wonder if Hyeolcheondoma saw something that he himself did not see. Can't you see what that damn old man saw? She was proud and irritated.
“Take a break for today. I prepared a new person.”
Ilhwageomjon looked at Saujong coldly and tried to say something. But the lips that were about to move did not speak in the end..
She turned around and entered the prison..
Saujong's expression as he watched her back was extremely complex, but his eyes were just as hot..
When she entered the prison and operated the secret device, the floor opened and a secret passage appeared..
She went down the aisle. The further down she went, the darker it became, but she was used to it, probably having gone down once or twice..
There was a long hallway in the basement. She walked over, opened the door at the end of the hallway, and entered..
Inside was a richly decorated bedroom..
A young man sat on a large bed and suddenly got up..
Ilhwa Geomzon slowly walked over and sat down at the dressing table with a large admiration attached to it. The young man's eyes reflected in the mirror were full of fear..
Ilhwa Geomzon spoke softly to the young man in the mirror..
“It's okay, take off your clothes first..”

After drinking with Hyeolcheon Doma, I stopped by Ian's training center on the way back..
I could tell how hard she was training just by the warm energy I felt inside..
She walked around the training ground sweating profusely with her heavy body. It was hard training that pushed the limits, but not a single movement was in vain..
Watching that scene, I felt that it was time to teach a new martial art..
“ah! Are you here? master?”
“Looks like you've been practicing hard these days..”
“How did you know?”
“I feel like I lost some weight.”
“Really?”
Even though he knew it wasn't true, Ian smiled brightly. Perhaps because we were talking about life, she asked a question she had been saving..
“master. Is what you said before true? That my side effects can be cured..”
How much did you think about Ian’s personality before asking this question? She must have thought and thought about how she would react if I answered, ‘I was joking.’.
Even if the person who taught you the whole body petrifying technique told you that side effects could never be eliminated, you still couldn't help but ask this question..
“It's really fixable?”
It was my first time seeing her this nervous..
“I can fix it.”
“Really?”
Now it's time to tell her the truth.
“I know a procedure that can eliminate the side effects of full body petrification..”
It was a method I found by wandering around the entire central plain in the process of searching for Dafa materials. With the intention that if she returns, she will definitely return to her original body. When I thought about it, I realized that my past life wasn't just a desolate path for revenge..
“What kind of procedure is that??”
“It is a great method called body purification..”
“……Shin poison purification?”
She repeated the words several times and then asked again.
“how did you learn this?”
“That's a secret. You know? There are many secrets to keep when it comes to martial arts..”
“yes. I know. i know.”
Her voice was shaking throughout the conversation..
“Maybe I can have the procedure done now..”
“there is.”
“But why don't you do it??”
“It is a very dangerous and difficult procedure. Also, I don’t know what variables will occur during the procedure. So, I will have the procedure done when my martial arts skills are much better than they are now..”
“ah! There really was a cure.!”
Her face was filled with joy..
“You have to risk your life. Because I don’t know what might happen during the procedure. I can still do it?”
“yes!”
There was not a single hesitation in her answer..
“This is disappointing.”
“yes? Did I make some mistake??”
“I knew you would say this. If I die, I won't be able to protect you, so I won't undergo the procedure..”
It was my joke to prevent that possibility..
“You want me to live my life? Wasn't it??”
Then she smiled brightly as if it was a joke..
I know now. That appearance from a moment ago was her original appearance..
I want to find her original heart that was sleeping under the weight of loyalty and responsibility, that natural heart that all people have, that heart..
“Ian.”
“Yes, master.”
“Is there a place you want to visit in Jungwon??”
“No, there isn't.”
All my life, I was only looking at myself, so no matter where I went, I couldn't have seen anything properly..
“Let’s go on a cruise in Jungwon with me later..”
“Really?”
“okay. Let’s go to all the famous places and see all the spectacular views. I'll let you taste all the famous dishes. I know a lot of places.”
“You promised.?”
“You promise too.”
“What?”
“You can't abandon me then.”
“Are you saying I abandoned you? Even if heaven and earth change, nothing like that will happen..”
Even if you become the best beauty in the world and all the men in the world admire you, do you still say that?.
“Let's see where we go.”
