Episode 109You have to raise your head to see the sky (3)
Mo Yong-wooâs eyes wavered.
âItâs huge.â
He is over six feet tall and has a slim-looking body at first glance. Although he was wearing military uniform inside, the white long cloth on the outside seemed to soften his sharp appearance.
Although he was tall, his physique was neither big nor small. That appearance, combined with the strange atmosphere emanating from his entire body, made it seem like I was seeing a single bamboo tree.
If it werenât for this refined prayer that flows out implicitly, I would have thought he was a very handsome writer.
âYou have this much energy?â
It was a prayer that felt mysterious at first glance. Mo Yongwu had never seen anyone with such an extraordinary presence before.
Plus that axe.
At first glance, it was a treasure worthy of being called a new weapon. A majestic spirit oozed from the thick but cool blade of the axe.
It was a rare cavalry in the rivers. Since the cavalry is being held by a slender young man, it looks even more intimidating.
Currently, there is only one person in the martial arts community who comes to mind when describing such an appearance.
And this young man proudly finished his introduction with his own words.
âIf itâs Yeonhojeong⦠Of Byeoksan Yeonga?â
âexactly.â
Mo Yong-woo stood up.
He waved briefly.
âI am Mo Yong-wu, the head of the Zhejiang branch of the Mo Yong family. âIt is an honor to meet the renowned leader of Byeoksan.â
It was an amazing greeting.
Mo Yong-woo is older than Yeon Ho-jeong. They were born not just one or two years apart, but ten years earlier.
Nevertheless, he greeted me with formality. At this moment, this early morning visit could be considered sufficiently suspicious.
Yeon Ho-jeong also put down his ax and bowed formally.
âYeon Ho-jeong, the eldest son of the Jiangsu Byeoksan Yeonga, meets Jamryong of the Moyong family.â
Mo Yong-wooâs face hardened.
Moyonggaâs sleeping dragon. It was a truly meaningful expression.
When Mo Yong-woo was about to open his mouth, Yeon Ho-jeong lifted an axe.
âCan I have a cup of tea?â
I meant to talk inside.
Mo Yong-woo nodded.
ââ¦come in.â
Sreuk.
Yeon Ho-jeong came into the office through the window.
Mo Yong-wooâs eyes wavered.
âAmazing new law!â
Body movements are out of sync. It was a very flexible yet powerful movement.
Although I only saw one movement, my awareness of Yeonhojeong became even stronger.
âThere are no good tea leaves. Please understand.â
âDonât worry, Iâll eat just about anything.â
âI understand.â
Yeon Ho-jeong, who put down the ax and sat down on the chair, looked at Mo Yong-woo.
Mo Yong-woo was riding in the car on one side without saying a word.
You might be curious. This silence is awkward, so you might want to say something for no reason. But he was absorbed in the car ride in silence.
To be precise, while he was riding in the car, his consciousness was constantly searching for Yeonhojeong.
âItâs still the same.â
Be careful.
For some reason, the weather was getting closer and closer, but the etiquette and righteousness that had been ingrained in me were still the same.
No, it was shining even brighter than before. He was much more human-like than Mo Yong-woo at that time, who was ravaged by the world and was devastated by the Saeumgyo Rebellion.
Itâs just that he himself is thoroughly suppressing it.
âAs expected, my prediction was correct.â
A blue light shimmered in Yeonhojeongâs pupils.
âThere is only this person. âItâs just this guy.â
After a while, Mo Yong-woo placed a teacup in front of Yeonhojeong.
âItâs been a while since I tried it, so Iâm not sure if it tastes good.â
âIt smells good.â
Yeon Ho-jeong drank tea without hesitation.
Mo Yong-wooâs eyes deepened.
âYou drink it without any suspicion.â
I donât know if itâs because I have good guts or because I know myself well. Mo Yong-woo had extremely insufficient information about his opponent.
âIt is rumored that he is the king of the world, but⦠seeing that he came alone at such a late nightâ¦â
He said, âBless those who are good, and do not be good to those within.â It means that good people do not come and those who have already come are not good.
Kangho Moorim is a dangerous place. If someone I had never met before came to visit me at this late hour, I should have been completely on guard.
Even if opening up bridges the gap.
âCongratulations.â
âWhat do you mean?â
âYou succeeded in enjoying a delicious tea.â
âThank goodness.â
It was a stiff answer.
I could sense caution in his voice. If I were to be honest, it was an honest reaction.
Mo Yong-woo opened his mouth.
âThe day has become quite cool. At first glance, he appears to be a great expert, but even for the best expert in the world, it is difficult to avoid the expert.â
Why did you come here while breathing the cold early morning air?
I say it in a roundabout way, but that makes it even more scary. This probably means that pointless puns donât work.
Yeon Ho-jeong stopped laughing.
âBefore we talk, let me tell you one thing.â
âI will listen.â
âI donât like talking back. âEven if it sounds a bit extreme, I hope you understand.â
âYou donât have to worry about that part.â
âI know youâre having a hard time right now.â
This was said without skipping everything that came and went.
Is that why? Mo Yong-woo was confused for a moment. The conversation stopped as I pondered what that meant.
Taking advantage of the off beat, Yeon Ho-jeong began to lead the mood.
âI heard that there was an uproar due to a battle of interests between Zhejiang traders.â
ââ¦!â
âAnd I also heard that the branch manager is in charge of coordinating the interests of maritime trade in Zhejiang.â
Mo Yong-wooâs eyes deepened.
âHow did you know?â
âI have been looking into things related to you for a long time. Of course, I reviewed it before I came here.â
It was a strange and scary statement.
Being watched without even knowing it was never a good feeling.
However, rather than being upset, Mo Yong-woo was curious about the other personâs intentions. Why was this young tiger, who was even rumored to be a passionate gangster, keeping an eye on him?
âYou mean you investigated this person?â
âexactly.â
Mo Yong-woo, who was watching Yeon Ho-jeong with clear eyes, shook his head.
âIf you are thinking of taking advantage by controlling maritime trade in both Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, I think it would be better for you to give up now.â
âThis can be done without the help of the branch leader, so I have no intention of giving up.â
It was a remark that touched my pride. However, there was no change in Mo Yong-wooâs prayer.
The airway was like a clear lake. It was heavy water that didnât even make any waves.
âThen itâs even more questionable. âThere is no reason why you even came to see me, let alone investigate me.â
âI will help you.â
ââ¦helping? âWhat do you mean?â
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was looking at Mo Yong-woo, thought for a moment and then said.
âIsnât the branch leader a person who came down from the ruthless and ruthless path of the Moyong family?â
ââ¦!!â
âIt seems to me that this was the case in the past and that he is still under pressure from his family now.â
Mo Yong-wooâs expression suddenly changed.
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
âIt seems my guess was right.â
âHow do you do thatâ¦?â
âItâs because I know something about a person named Moyong-gun.â
Yeon Ho-jeongâs eyes changed.
When he thinks of Moyong, his eyes change. And Mo Yong-woo felt his heart chill at those sharp eyes.
âMoyong-gun is ambitious. His greed has no end. There is no problem with people living with greed, but the problem is that innocent people are dying because of that greed.â
ââ¦!â
âMoreover, his ambition is completely personal. âIf it were for the greater good, there would be room for extenuating circumstances, but Mr. Moyong lives each day with ambitions that are not even possible.â
Even as she spoke, Yeon Ho-jeong felt a sense of bitterness. This was because he did not have great courage or chivalry.
There was honest surprise on Mo Yong-wooâs face.
At the same time, a deeper suspicion arose. He said that the person who investigated him was his older brother and the head of the sixth generation family.
I donât know what he was thinking, but itâs clear that heâs someone we need to be extremely wary of.
âBut you are different. You donât want something big. âI just want the people within my fence to eat well and live well.â
ââ¦.â
âI donât know if you know, but if you donât, Iâll tell you. Justice and righteousness come from there. âYou can cry out for justice only when you know how difficult it is to protect your own fence.â
âItâs the spirit of justiceâ¦.â
âI also care about my family, but I donât think Iâm a very just person. Rather, he is closer to an evil person.â
ââ¦.â
âIt means that not everyone can walk on the right path.â
Yeon Ho-jeong quenched his thirst with a sip of tea.
âSo let me help you. âIf there is pressure from the family due to the Zhejiang Trade Federation, I will make sure to resolve that issue.â
Mo Yong-wooâs eyes wavered.
âHelp⦠may I ask why?â
âIyuraâ¦.â
âThatâs right. reason.â
Mo Yong-woo took a deep breath.
After taking a deep breath to calm his mind, he spoke in a strong voice.
âI donât know if you know, but Iâm very confused. âI received a letter from the head of the Hangju Branch of Openness, but a young man Iâve never seen before came to me and suddenly said he would help me.â
âexactly.â
âIf thatâs all you said, you said you investigated me for a long time. âI think I even know the head of the family quite well.â
âI know very well. âIn some sense, I may know the Moyong family better than you do.â
âBetter than me⦠better. Letâs say yes.â
Mo Yong-wooâs eyes became sharp.
âDo you think I would readily accept your help now?â
âI guess that would be difficult.â
I expected him to refute this, but he immediately agreed. Mo Yong-woo smiled bitterly.
âexactly. Moreover, you are the eldest child of Byeoksan Yeonga. âIf it becomes known that I received help from you, there will be an uproar at home.â
âAre you scared?â
âWhat do you mean?â
âMoyong-gun is scary.â
It was a provocative question.
Mo Yong-woo said with a stern expression.
âI donât know what that means. And one more thing, I think you are calling the head of the family too carelessly.â
âItâs natural that he is someone who could become my enemy at any time.â
ââ¦?!â
Enemy? What does this suddenly mean?
âHe joined hands with the famous family and tried to destroy the main family. Prince Moyong even went so far as to infiltrate Sejak himself.â
âWhat?!â
âIf I hadnât taken the throne with my own hands and ruined the famous family, my family could have been on an irreversible path by now.â
Mo Yong-woo looked at Yeon Ho-jeong with trembling eyes.
Yeon Ho-jeongâs expression was plain. It was not the face of someone telling a lie.
âolder brotherâ¦!â
Whatâs even scarier is that the Mo Yong he knows is a person capable of such a thing.
Mo Yong-woo sighed involuntarily.
âHow on earth can you do this? âHow can he keep doing such reckless thingsâ¦â
Mo Yong-woo, who was sighing more and more, stood up and immediately bowed.
âI would like to apologize on behalf of my brother. âI donât know if I can forgive you, but as a blood relative, I canât bear to dishonor you.â
Yeon Ho-jeongâs eyes deepened.
Mo Yong-woo lay face down in silence. He is apologizing sincerely even though he has not committed a mortal sin.
Could the other person have lied?
Mo Yong-wooâs insight is real. He has an extraordinary talent for identifying falsehood. That was one of his countless strengths.
Yeon Ho-jeong opened his mouth.
âIf he gives up his reckless ambitions and withdraws from the front lines, his family can forgive him.â
Mo Yong-woo raised his upper body.
He bit his lip.
âFirst of all⦠I will talk to my brother about that directlyâ¦â
âBut Moyong-gun will never give up.â
ââ¦.â
âDid you just say you would apologize on behalf of your brother?â
ââ¦?â
âIf itâs sincere, why donât you apologize properly instead of using trivial methods?â
ââ¦What do you want me to do?â
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
âStand at the pinnacle of the Baekdo Martial Forest.â S~eaÊá´h the ηovÑlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
âWhat?!â
âBecome the greatest giant in the world who controls the White Path. The day you dominate the martial arts faction, I will forgive you.â
