Episode 167 Silmongdang (2)âHmm?â
After training all night, Gwanpyeong came out to get some fresh air and saw a woman heading somewhere.
She had a beautiful appearance, but her expressionless face showed a coldness beyond that of a government official. The unwavering steps and the magical energy that gently spreads are as sharp as a blade.
âSeo-yoon.â
Joo Seo-yoon looked back at Gwanpyeong.
Gwanpyeong approached with a leisurely pace.
âItâs been a while since we last met.â
âyes.â
The Heavenly Demon Church is so vast that it is not easy for disciples of the sect to encounter each other unless they decide to do so. In fact, among the people who had been practicing Protestantism for over ten years, there were people who did not even know each other.
âIs this the first time since the hall meeting?â
âyes.â
âHow have you been?â
âyes.â
Itâs still the same short answer. Guan Ping smiled. It was a smile that did not match the unique cold atmosphere.
âThe air waves are amazing. âIn the meantime, he has grown amazingly again.â
âthank you.â
âHaha, go a little slower. âI will catch up with you soon.â
Joo Seo-yoon glanced at Guan Pyeong.
Indifferent eyes that match an expressionless face.
âYour brother has been training hard too.â
âoh? âDo you see it?â
It was a view that transcended human limitations due to the great enlightenment he gained immediately after the coronation meeting. Not only was his martial arts skills kept secret and not revealed, but he was also the owner of exceptional military strength unbefitting his age.
âButâ¦â
âHmm?â
âno.â
The smile disappeared from Guan Pingâs face.
Joo Seo-yoonâs face when she turns her head is so expressionless that it is not easy to read. However, he was able to read a hint of disappointment in Joo Seo-yoon.
He was about to turn 30 and had amassed strength comparable to that of the head of a large sect. There is no doubt that it is a force that would cause wonder in others, but it seemed to be insufficient for Joo Seo-yoon.
âhmm.â
Gwanpyeong asked.
âAnyway, where are you going so early in the morning?â
Joo Seo-yoon stopped walking.
After being silent for a moment, she slowly opened her mouth.
âBrother.â
âSpeak.â
âI have no regrets about being president.â
ââ¦!â
It was an unexpected bombshell. Guan Pingâs eyes wavered.
âSo you donât have to worry about me.â
âI justâ¦â
âOkay then.â
Joo Seo-yoon lowered her head and went her own way again.
Guan Pingâs face hardened slightly as he looked at her back.
âYou have no regrets about being president?â
Even though weâve seen each other until now, we havenât had much conversation. I thought we would finally have a few words, but I couldnât help but be surprised by what he suddenly said.
Gwanpyeong stood there for a long time and watched Joo Seo-yoon walking away.
After a while, Je-hwan appeared.
âConfucius. About what you said earlierâ¦.â
ââ¦.â
âConfucius?â
âWell, are you here?â
âYes.â
Je-hwan turned his gaze to where Guan-pyeong was looking.
âWhere are you looking?â
âJehwan.â
âYes, Confucius.â
âLet me keep an eye on Seo-yoon.â
âOh, do you mean Lady Goku?â
âokay. âHe is a sensitive child, so monitor him from a distance.â
âWhy is Goku suddenlyâ¦?â
âItâs just a whim.â
Guan Pingâs eyes became cold.
âI hope I donât have to be capricious anymore. Thatâs why Iâm telling you to monitor it.â
* * *
âConfucius.â
Ma Dong-pil looked embarrassed.
âGokunyeoâ¦.â
âI know.â
Xu Liang twirled his shoulders. Warm up your body before training.
âJust bring it in.â
âAll right.â
After a while, Seo-ryang left the room and looked at Joo Seo-yoon standing on the side of the training hall.
Joo Seo-yoon slightly lowered her head. Seoliang responded with a shrug of his shoulders.
âdid you eat?â
âyes.â
That was all the conversation was about. Seo-ryang nodded and went up to the training ground to warm up.
Joo Seo-yoon watched his movements.
Seoryangâs tall body, with long limbs and well-trained muscles, was worthy of being called a work of art. There were dozens of scars across his entire upper body, but they didnât look ugly.
thud.
Seo-ryang took a strong step forward and lowered his posture.
A serious face and clenched fists. The eyes staring ahead suddenly calmed down.
Joo Seo-yoonâs eyes sparkled.
âIs this the beginning of training?â
They do not care about showing their training to others. At least in that respect, he has something in common with me.
Sreuk.
Xi Liang stretched out his fist.
Each punch and each step are made with care. But the action was very slow. To the point where I thought I was training blunt force.
âAre you correcting your posture?â
Slurp.
Slowly, more and more slowly.
Although it is a slow movement, it has the magic power to make you look blankly. The speed was constant and the force applied to the muscles was the same. There were many loopholes in the posture itself, but there was no waste of strength.
It was like watching the gentle dance moves of dancers.
âItâs a martial law. There is little change, but the hitting point is precise. âItâs a method of force.â seaÊá´h thÑ NôvelFire.nÑt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Surprisingly, Joo Seo-yoon was able to immediately see through Seo-ryangâs martial arts tendencies just by watching his gentle movements from the side. This meant that her insight was unique.
How much time has passed like that?
Tuk. Patter.
The sweat from Seo-ryangâs body fell to the floor.
Even though I am using the appropriate amount of energy, I still sweat. From the perspective of power distribution, it is a very difficult and high-level training, but it is difficult to understand why a master who has reached the extreme would sweat so much.
Joo Seo-yoon was secretly curious.
âItâs difficult, but itâs not a training that should be that difficult. But whyâ¦?â
For a moment she was startled.
âBobeop?!â
Yes. The training that Seoliang focused on was footwork, not boxing.
The level of martial arts he was using was so high that I didnât realize it, but when I realized it again, I was learning a method of tremendous difficulty.
âI canât believe there was a walking technique like that.â
Even with the eyes of a genius, it is impossible to tell which direction it is pointing. I couldnât read anything about the proportions of the attack and defense or what gaps were being filled.
âButâ¦â
Muhak itself is amazing, but questions still remain.
âEven though he is practicing high-level footwork and boxing techniques, he still finds it so difficultâ¦â
Joo Seo-yoon is filled with deep doubts.
Eventually, Seoryangâs training came to an end.
âItâs still hard. âI need to stop.â
Joo Seo-yoon looked up at the sky. The sun had moved, but it was still less than half an hour ago.
âalready? âYouâre finishing your training so quickly?â
Itâs not like the face is about to explode, and itâs not like Iâve used up all my strength. Still, they say itâs hard and they stop.
âAre you satisfied with that level of intensity of training?â
I knew that if you were a master of extreme magic, you would be able to train in ways that others could not imagine. I was so exhausted that I couldnât even lift a finger, so I thought I wouldnât be able to move for a while.
But no. Although I feel quite exhausted, I am at a level where I can quickly recover my stamina without any luck.
âHow on earthâ¦?â
Confusion appeared on Joo Seo-yoonâs face. How can one be satisfied with such easy training? How could I become a master?
âItâs a cherry blossom.â
âYes, Confucius.â
The cherry blossoms that were standing in the distance, scouring, came rushing over.
âShall we eat something?â
âyes!â
Seo-ryang glanced at Joo Seo-yoon.
âWould you like to have a meal too?â
ââ¦.â
âChrysanthemum, please prepare one more serving.â
A seat was spread out on one side of the training ground.
Seo-ryang raised his spoon.
âLetâs eat.â
Ma Dong-pil and Aenghwa ate their rice.
Joo Seo-yoon sat down awkwardly and looked at Seo-ryang. Seoliang was almost ready to sweep the entire table.
Seoryang said while eating for a while.
âDongpil.â
âYes, Confucius.â
âWould you like to play later?â
âItâs my honor.â
âgood.â
After a short conversation, the sound of chomping took over the table again.
It was after three plates had been emptied that Seoyang opened his mouth again.
âItâs a cherry blossom.â
âYes, Confucius.â
âThere is no need to leave boiled meat lying around everywhere. âBut Geumho isnât coming.â
Cherry Blossomâs face became tearful.
Xu Liang chuckled.
âdo not worry. âHe must be having fun somewhere.â
âyes.â
âSo I picked up all the meat and ate it.â
âAhâ¦.â
âItâs already humid and hot, so itâs a waste of food if it spoils if you leave it as is.â
âI was short-thinking. âI have committed a mortal sin.â
âIf that was a death penalty, I would have died 10,000 times moreâ¦â
Joo Seo-yoon, who was quietly listening to the conversation, was inwardly surprised.
âThere is no wall.â
The third brother treated the guard and maid as if they were friends. What was even more surprising was that the atmosphere was formed naturally rather than forced.
âso.â
Joo Seo-yoon, startled, looked at Seo-ryang.
Xi Liang was watching the meat dish in front of her with greedy eyes.
âAre you going to eat it or not?â
âIâ¦â
âIf youâre not going to eat it, give it to me.â
Joo Seo-yoon handed over the plate. Seoliang greedily emptied his plate.
âDid you get anything?â
Everyone looked at Xiliang.
Seo-ryang cast his gaze at Joo Seo-yoon.
âYou say you learn by watching? âDid you get anything?â
âNot yet.â
âOf course it is.â
Joo Seo-yoonâs eyes wavered. Of course, what does this mean?
âEnlightenment is only valuable if you gain it yourself. But thereâs nothing worse than wasting time, so Iâll tell you, it will be the same in the future.â
âYou mean itâs the same?â
Before he knew it, Seoryang had emptied all his dishes and was pounding his stomach. It was a face that looked drowsy.
âItâs not because of the gap in martial arts between you and me. âItâs hard for you now to understand your problem no matter who you see in your training.â
âWhy?â
âWhy is it because Iâm so obsessed?â
âIf youâre talking about obsession with martial artsâ¦â
âNo. âItâs an obsession with the belief that your method will allow you to grow the fastest.â
ââ¦!â
âIâm not going to tell you to give up your obsession, but you have to admit that your obsession isnât the right approach for everyone.â
Joo Seo-yoon thought carefully about Seo-ryangâs words.
âObsession? âIâm obsessed with my own ways?â
That canât be possible. She was clearly training harder than anyone else, but at the same time, she knew how to rest when she needed to. If it is training including rest, then there is nothing to say.
âHuman relationships are the same, right? Relationships develop when you understand the other person. Itâs like martial arts. There are countless martial artists, each with their own method. âIf you donât acknowledge that way and think about it, it will always stay that way.â
Xiliang scratched his head.
âWell, itâs not really something I need to say to you. At your age, how many people in the world do you think have achieved the same heights as you? âI bet it wonât be more than five.â
âIâm not satisfied.â
âIf you are not satisfied, expand your horizons.â
What on earth does it mean to have a hard mind to expand your horizons? I have a sufficiently flexible mind when it comes to nothing, so what is so different between me and this person?
âWow, Iâm full, so I guess Iâll buy it now. âI feel strong.â
Seoyang twirled his arms and grinned.
âI told you in advance, but you wonât see it.â
Ma Dong-pil smiled.
âI canât help but hope.â
âAre you crazy about your confidence? Okay, Iâll make your eyes blue todayâ¦â
For a moment, Seo-ryang frowned.
It was the same for Ma Dong-pil. His eyes became cold.
Joo Seo-yoon was puzzled by the completely changed atmosphere.
âwhyâ¦?â
âDongpil.â
âYes, Confucius.â
âGet him.â
Wow!
Ma Dong-pil moved like lightning.
