Chapter 87

Episode 87The wind never breaks (5)

“Did something like that happen?”

“yes.”

A middle-aged man looked out the window.

It wasn’t that tall. His physique was also normal.

However, the atmosphere inside the company was completely different from its seemingly ordinary appearance. It was a prayer that seemed as empty as a cloud, yet had a strange pulpit feel to it.

It was the prayer of a scholar rather than a warrior. He was a person who used the knowledge he had accumulated to cultivate wisdom and pursued righteousness with that wisdom.

He was none other than Zhuge Wenhu (諸葛文湖), the head of the Zhuge family.

Zhuge Zhenyan asked calmly.

“Father, please go. “Even if you’re a daughter, you shouldn’t do something presumptuous.”

“….”

“But this time I want to ask you a question.”

“….”

“What does this married father think?”

Zhuge Munho looked back at Zhuge Zhen.

There was bitterness in his deep eyes.

“What parent in the world would want their child to spend the rest of their life with someone they don’t want?”

“….”

“However, a few pillars of the family have rotted away. Even though I noticed it, I brushed it off with the excuse that I was busy. “I still feel resentful that I didn’t deal with it properly back then.”

“…It has already passed.”

“Yes, it has passed. But…”

Zhuge Wenhu closed his eyes. Sёarᴄh the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

A hint of self-reproach appeared on his smooth face.

“It’s just that my greed was excessive.”

“….”

“All you have to do is build up what has collapsed. The problem is the time it takes to rebuild one. Danggeum Wurim may seem peaceful, but behind it all, the causality of Kangho, demanding blood and death, is ready to burst out at any time.”

“Casality….”

“I didn’t want to see the family collapse in my generation. But it seems like that was just an excuse in the end. “Looking at the work of this famous family, I once again realized the obvious truth that excessive greed inevitably leads to destruction.”

Zhuge Yan asked.

“Does your father have ambitions too?”

Zhuge Wenhu nodded as if it was obvious.

“Of course.”

“…okay.”

“I don’t think it’s wrong to be ambitious. “I just think it was wrong to not honestly acknowledge that ambition.”

Zhuge Wenhu’s eyes changed.

“I was foolish. “I almost made my daughter unhappy because of my greed.”

“No, father.”

“What Yongdu Ark said is correct. “I plan to reject the marriage proposal from the Namgung family.”

Zhuge Zhen’s eyes wavered.

“For the time being, even the Nangong family will not be hostile to us. “Since such a big incident has occurred, they have no choice but to hold their breath.”

“….”

“Don’t worry about anything and just focus on learning.”

Zhuge Yan smiled and stood up.

“father.”

“Speak.”

“Don’t try to carry the burden alone.”

Zhuge Wenhu burst out laughing.

“It’s been ten years too long to say that. Keep moving forward and keep pushing forward.”

“yes!”

“ah! By the way…”

An honest curiosity appeared on Zhuge Wenho’s face.

“Did you give the Socheon Foundation to a young man named Yeon Ho-jeong?”

Zhuge Zhen’s face suddenly distorted.

“I gave it to you. “When I think about that time, my teeth still grind.”

“What happened?”

Jegal A-yeon described Yeon Ho-jeong’s reaction without a single mistake.

“There was no such atrocity. Because of his temperament, I really wanted to punch him.”

Zhuge Li’s eyes drew a line.

“Zinc.”

“yes?”

“Do you have feelings for the eldest son of the Yeon family?”

It was like an unexpected blow.

Zhuge Yan broke his neck and shook his head.

“no! no! “Someone has no culture like that!”

“Aren’t you lacking in culture as well?”

“father!”

Zhuge Wenhu chuckled.

“I asked just in case. “Because every time I bring up that guy, your reaction is so unusual.”

“What’s my reaction? “What’s wrong?”

“Your mother was similar to you now. “He’s probably still swearing at me like that.”

“Not at all?!”

“Then what does a young man named Yeon Ho-jeong mean to you?”

Zhuge Zhen’s eyes opened tentatively.

“Hmm… a hateful guy who gives nothing in return… and a young old man who stimulates inquisitiveness… like? “We’re just friends.”

Zhuge Wenho’s expression became depressed.

“That’s an impressive evaluation.”

“It can’t be defined in one word. Because he is such a unique guy. If I don’t look at something, it comes to mind once in a while. “I was wondering what kind of accident might happen again?”

“Is that so?”

“yes.”

“I get it.”

“Why are you smiling?”

“I just laughed.”

“…It’s meaningful! “Don’t think strange things!”

Zhuge Wenhu looked out the window.

The passing clouds looked very peaceful.

‘Ayeon has grown up too.’

Zhuge Zhen was struggling.

“I don’t know what you’re thinking, but absolutely not!”

After leaving Uibang, Yeon Ho-jeong and his group took a mountain path.

It would be better to take the convenient route no matter where you go, but the problem was the popularity of Yeonhojeong.

Rumors tend to ignite quickly and spread quickly. Of course, it cooled down just as quickly.

But this was the problem right now. Since he had such a strong reputation in Hanam, there were many people who approached him to at least mix things up.

In the end, the mountain path was chosen. It took some time, but I was able to avoid the hassle.

Of course, it wasn’t just for that reason.

Pusssss.

A faint haze rose from Yeon Ho-jeong’s body, which was sitting cross-legged.

‘It finally works now.’

Hyeonmugi arose vigorously and removed all turbid energy from the damaged blood vessels. The mountain air I took in through my nose immediately washed my hair clean. I felt like my intelligence became clearer.

Naturally, the back burner was opened and the remaining shock was recovered from the bones and flesh. Jujakgi, burning like fire, circulated clean blood throughout the body.

My physical condition was improving day by day. The wound on his chest from Myeongcheon’s sword was almost completely healed.

It was amazing resilience.

I was nervous about my recovery, which was slower than expected, but I quickly returned to normal within a few days.

‘Why are you doing this?’

It was good that I recovered, but I couldn’t figure out why.

‘I clearly recognize the difference between my old body and my current body. Even taking that into account, recovery was slow. However, once my body got better to a certain extent, I recovered quickly from then on.’

A look of discomfort appeared on Yeon Ho-jeong’s face.

‘This isn’t good.’

Whether a phenomenon is good or bad, you need to know the reason and prepare accordingly.

‘Is it because I don’t have the blue dragon energy?’

In a short moment, the energy of three of the Four Gods Dance was summoned. The summons was much faster than the vaguely planned time. Thanks to this, combat capabilities and military power increased rapidly.

So it was also an unstable state. This is because although each energy has been refined, it has not been harmonized yet. In other words, unless you obtain the Blue Dragon, you cannot achieve complete harmony with the Four Gods.

However, since it was a phenomenon that was so difficult to interpret, thoughts extended to the blue dragon.

“Whoa.”

Yeon Ho-jeong sighed and got up.

“Let’s keep grinding. Then someday I will find the answer.”

I knew it intuitively. It’s not something that can be solved by digging into it right away.

It was uncomfortable, but I had no choice but to get it out of my head. It would be better to do something more productive with that time.

‘I also need to improve my martial arts skills.’

Yeon Ho-jeong recalled himself dealing with masters of a famous family.

‘If it was at a certain level, I could have overwhelmed it. Even before summoning Suzakugi, he was able to withstand dozens of attacks against Myeongcheon.’

The martial arts of the famous family was to forcibly twist the Sasinmu. So although it was strong, it had serious drawbacks.

‘There were a lot of loopholes.’

When dealing with them, Yeon Ho-jeong thoroughly destroyed the fake Sasinmu.

In fact, Sasinmu was not a martial art worthy of destruction. It is said that there is no absolute in the world, but in terms of herbivorous style, Sasinmu is almost incompatible.

However, he could not bring out the yellow dragon energy, and since he had almost mastered the Four Gods Dance, he was able to completely dismantle it by exploiting its subtle loopholes.

Jinki’s change was also a big factor. The fake energy was helplessly dismantled or extinguished in the face of the energy learned by the true successor of the head family’s original master, Sasinmu.

In other words, the reason why Yeon Ho-jeong was able to overwhelm many masters of famous families was because of the martial arts he was learning.

‘I’ve become stronger, but it’s still far from enough.’

Must become stronger. We need to grow more.

At least he had to regain the level of force he had back then when he was called the Emperor of Darkness.

Yeon Ho-jeong lifted the ax from his cross-legged posture.

“Yangheum.”

“Yes, Archduke!”

“Where is Daeju Shin?”

“Ah, the great lord went down to visit the county for a while.”

“In the village? why?”

“That’s right for us too…”

That was then.

Shinmo walked up from the bottom of the mountain.

“Shin Daeju.”

“Ah, are you finished with Ungong?”

“huh.”

“How are you feeling?”

“Perfect. “It’s all better.”

“Fortunately, the.”

“That’s not important right now. how is it? “It’s getting a bit chilly. Should we go for a run?”

A look of bewilderment appeared on Shinmo’s face.

“Hey, Archduke.”

“ok?”

“First of all, I would like to discuss once more what we said before.”

“Argument? “What part?”

“Serving the Archduke.”

Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.

“As I said before, I’m just going to experience the world. “I don’t need the help of the reception desk anymore.”

“As you well know, Grand Duke, going strong is dangerous. “You never know what danger may come your way.”

“If you can’t pull out your sword because you’re scared of seeing blood, you can’t be considered safe.”

“But…”

“Besides, you belong to the main family. “It’s my family’s military organization, so you can protect me as the Grand Duke, but once you’ve finished your mission, you have to go back and do your job.”

“….”

“I don’t know the details, but the situation at my home is not very good right now. I’m sure you’ll be very busy. So go and help your father. “That’s what you do.”

Shinmo sighed.

“Then, even if it’s just two articles…”

“Not possible.” So that I can stop worrying about myself and focus on what I need to do at my position.”

It is their job to protect the prince of the family.

However, Yeon Ho-jeong resolutely refused.

Although he was confident that he could survive in any environment, he did not want his family to suffer damage because of what he did.

Shinmo, who was worried, soon made up her mind.

“All right. If you do, we will return to our family.”

“okay. “I will send a separate letter to my father.”

Yeon Ho-jeong struck the ax blade.

“Are you done? “Then shall we give it a try?”

“However, please allow me to follow the Archduke until this matter.”

“What happened this time?”

Shinmo took out a letter from her arms.

Yeon Ho-jeong looked at the letter with puzzled eyes.

“I received a call from the public.”

“Give it to me.”

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes lit up as he opened the letter.

Tension appeared on Shinmo’s face.

“As the opponent is the opponent, there must be a reason why the Archduke has been caught leaving now, even if something is going on. “Somehow it doesn’t feel like good intentions.”

“…Moyong family head.”

Yes. The person who sent the letter was none other than Prince Moyong.

Indifference appeared on Yeon Ho-jeong’s face as he folded the letter.

‘Well, it didn’t end neatly.’

I had to meet him at least once anyway. I felt more at ease because he contacted me first.

‘If you wait, he will strangle you on his own.’

Yeon Ho-jeong wore an ax on his shoulder blade.

“Let’s prepare for the descent.”
