Chapter 707

◈Episode 707.Between Death and Destiny (7)

When Full Sang looks at Yeon Ho Jeong with sad eyes.

Yeon Ho-jeong frowned and raised his upper body again.

“My stomach still hurts.”

Mukbi said as he approached with a worried face.

“Lie down some more.”

“are you okay. “It’s almost time to eat.”

Yeon Ho-jeong looked at So Jeong-gwang and Jinyang.

The two people were looking at Yeon Ho-jeong with complicated faces.

They were the ones who heard the entire conversation with Jangmun-in, Sunwoo, and the conversation with Bujeongsang.

I don’t know what happened before. However, it seems that Yeon Ho-jeong, who made a great contribution in this battle, actually sacrificed himself to some extent for the greater good.

Such an appearance made the feelings of the two people strangely complicated.

Yeon Ho-jeong asked in a calm voice.

“Are you going to leave now?”

So Jeong-gwang lowered his head.

“Ah yes. “Because I have nothing more to do here.”

“I guess so.”

Yeon Ho-jeong stood up.

The internal energy was actively recovered and the internal injuries were also greatly improved. However, unexpectedly, the healing of the trauma was slow.

‘It’s accumulated.’

By opening up the martial arts, not only the inner energy but also the body has developed to a higher level. Muscles, bones, nerves, blood vessels, etc. have all entered a high-dimensional realm that is incomparable to before.

However, as he realized before meeting Myeonggeuk, after reaching this stage, he only thought about martial arts with stronger output and never looked back at himself.

‘Has the fatigue of the past few years built up without you knowing?’

When you wear new clothes, it takes some time for them to adjust to your body.

If he had stayed away from battle for a while and kept his body and energy stable, the trauma would have healed much sooner.

However, because I was fighting a battle between life and death day after day, my body reached its limits. That was a completely different problem from reaching the point of non-pole.

‘For the time being, I need to take care of my body and organize the insights I gained this time.’

Yeon Ho-jeong looked at Jinyang.

Jinyang cleared his throat.

“Goodbye.”

“Come back.”

“…Eh?”

“Clear out your faction and come back. “That would be better.”

Jinyang openly frowned.

“What nonsense is that? “Why are you organizing my clan?”

“Play in the big water. “Don’t go around looking here and there.”

Jinyang’s face became blank.

It was unclear whether it was a suggestion or a rant. So Jeong-gwang also opened his eyes wide in surprise.

Yeon Ho-jeong continued calmly.

“You can see it too. “How dangerous and bloody is war?”

“….”

“I hope not, but there is a high probability that they will launch an all-out war. “Before that, there will be quite a few bloody battles like the one during Jongnam.”

“however?”

“It will be difficult for you too to escape the vortex of war.”

Jinyang said bluntly.

“You’ll only find out when you go there.”

“Rather than regret it later, risk your life to protect it from now on.”

“It’s up to us to take care of it.”

“You two built the current sect from the ground up. “If you have that level of resourcefulness, you will be able to establish a sufficient foundation to make a living after the war is over.”

“So that’s none of your business. “We have our own way.”

“Do you have your own way of doing things and have come this far because of Elder Gaeng’s threats?”

“….”

Jinyang’s face hardened.

Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.

“The way people live is different. But it would be too much of a waste to let your power and brilliant talent rot like this.”

“Again, that’s…”

“Why did you save the kids?”

“…what?”

“If we infer your travel route, the way to Jongnam’s headquarters would have been much simpler and faster. “For those of you who have received pressure that resembles threats, all you have to do is just fight for show and disappear, so why did you go out of your way to save the children?”

Jinyang’s face distorted.

“Are you saying that? A kid is a kid, whether he learns martial arts or not! “Who can stand by and ignore those who are chasing children to kill them?”

Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.

Mo Fei also looked at Jin Yang with strange eyes.

“Well said. Your actions are natural and deserve praise. So to speak, you have something called a line. “No matter what we do, we know that it is a line that must never be crossed.”

“That’s it. You said you came to see me for no reason. “I’ll just leave.”

“Those guys are like that. They don’t regard them as children. Rather, they are crazy people who try to destroy the enemy’s morale by cutting off children’s heads because they think it is right.”

Jinyang shouted.

“Concentration! “Let’s go!”

So Jeong-gwang hesitated.

Jinyang shouted again.

“What are you doing! “Let’s go!”

“How long are you going to waste your life!”

Whoops!

Jinyang and So Jeong-gwang, as well as Muk-bi and Chae-jeong-sang, froze at Yeon Ho-jeong’s sudden outburst.

Whoa!

The spirit of Yeonhojeong, which had been so empty, became fierce like an exploding volcano.

Yeon Ho-jeong looked at Jinyang with brilliantly shining eyes.

Jinyang gritted his teeth. I wanted to look away right away, but my iron-hard pride refused to do so.

Yeon Ho-jeong asked in a quiet voice.

“Are you angry?”

“…what?”

“Wasn’t it absurd that a third party told me to organize the sect? “Is your pride hurt by hearing that you couldn’t withstand the threats of the open elder?”

“Your tone itself annoys the other person!”

“Or is it because you hit the nail on the head?”

“…!”

Jinyang’s eyes wavered.

Yeon Ho-jeong spoke in a deeper voice.

“I don’t know what thoughts you have, what beliefs you have, or what future you are aiming for.”

“….”

“But I know that you are astray now.”

“I went astray?”

“It went astray. “Even if I went astray, I went astray for a long time.”

“What do you know about me!”

Harsh words also came out of Jinyang’s mouth.

A small smile appeared on Yeon Ho-jeong’s face again.

“Even though you know your own nature and your own aspirations, you turn your eyes away from them and become complacent with reality. How can you not say that you have gone astray?”

“…?!”

Yeon Ho-jeong slowly walked to Jinyang and placed her index finger on his chest.

“What do you really want?”

Jinyang looked down at Yeonhojeong with a distorted face.

Yeon Ho-jeong spoke again.

“They were entrenched in Guangdong, but when they heard that the Murim League’s army was on an operation, they immediately came up to Shaanxi and built another fence. “I was living in Shaanxi like that when I heard that war broke out, so I thought about escaping once again, but I couldn’t resist the pressure that bordered on threats from the elder Gao Gae, and I ended up taking part in the war.”

“….”

“Is that the life you want?”

Jinyang growled.

“I decide how I live!”

“First answer the question. “Don’t turn away the opportunity to be honest with yourself.”

“What are you, giving me such an opportunity?”

“If not me, who would give me a chance? Have you ever taken someone’s sincere concerns seriously?”

“…!”

For a moment, Jinyang was speechless.

Yeon Ho-jeong pointed at So Jeong-gwang with his hand.

“You don’t even listen to what your closest friends say. Still, I consider him a friend. “How can a person who cannot properly understand the feelings of others close to him/her truly flourish in life?”

Jinyang looked at So Jeonggwang without realizing it.

So Jeong-gwang’s expression was extremely confused. It is an ambiguous position to intervene or not to intervene in the suddenly burning atmosphere.

Yeon Ho-jeong said.

“For some reason, you came all the way here with your friend because you felt uncomfortable.”

“…!”

“Have you seen Jang Mun-in, Jongnam? That’s what a leader is. I was so sad that I couldn’t take responsibility that I lost my senses. “We are not even able to properly relieve the anger that is rising as we lament over the reality of not being able to come forward and die together.”

Jinyang’s eyes wavered.

“But you are different. I always went with So Jeong-gwang. “What’s more, whenever something embarrassing happened, you, the owner of the house, had to step up yourself, but you used a close friend and subordinate to find an excuse to get out of the situation.”

“profit!”

“Don’t say that because it was a minor thing, it will be different when it’s really dangerous. “You have lost your qualifications as the head of an organization because you are not willing to take responsibility for even such trivial matters.”

Jinyang’s body trembled.

But I couldn’t bear to refute it.

Yeon Ho-jeong’s voice was filled with subtle dignity. Sёarch* The nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“You are not the leader’s vessel now. “You will always be like this, having never seriously looked at yourself.”

“….”

“Start again from the beginning.”

Yeon Ho-jeong took a step back and turned away.

At that moment, Jinyang felt as if his figure had grown several times larger. The man who was smaller than him when he was close became as huge as a mountain when he stepped back.

“You don’t have to be with me. I want you to be together, but if you really don’t like it, that can’t be helped. Furthermore, it is okay not to participate in this bloody war. But if you want to fix your life, start again from the beginning.”

“….”

“For me, there is no such thing as a plausible dream. “I just have one firm and simple goal.”

Yeon Ho-jeong closed his eyes.

During the time of the Emperor of Darkness, the image of himself standing helplessly and alone among countless corpses came to mind.

There was a large man approaching him. Accompanying the large man was a tired-looking man with a literary style.

Jinyang smiles brightly and pats herself on the back. So Jeong-gwang refreshes the atmosphere with his strange way of speaking.

Mukbi is sitting far away, wearing a mask and looking towards us, and Kangryang is holding a sword. And the last remaining kidney.

“I risked my life for that one goal. I never imagined life after that. “In that respect, maybe I’m similar to you.”

Yeon Ho-jeong opened his eyes again.

His deeply and quietly sunken eyes contained indescribable emotions.

“My life is like this even though I started from scratch. From then on, I accepted this life as a destiny given by heaven. Also, it is inevitable because it is a life I do not wish for.”

Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.

Jinyang felt like he was crying without even realizing it.

The reason was unknown. However, Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes and voice, which seemed somehow sagely yet clearly confident, aroused a strange inspiration.

“I wish we could be together. But you don’t have to do that. Now stop turning your head away from your own aspirations. “I don’t want to see a man the size of you living like that anymore.”

“…Why?”

“what?”

Jinyang asked in a heavy voice.

“Why are you saying this to me?”

“….”

“From the moment we first met, you seemed to know me. But I have never seen you.”

“I guess so.”

“who are you? “Why are you trying to drag me into it?”

“He is the one who was saved by you, not by you.”

“what?”

“They were relationships that brought light to my life, which was just living without a purpose. “Thanks to each and every one of you, I realized that I am no different from others.”

“….”

“You are all my benefactors. “Just know that.”

Yeon Ho-jeong turned around.

“If you allow it, I will repay the favor from now on. “The decision is yours.”
