Episode 597 I’ve Always Been a Victim
The middle-aged scholar, fixated on Yongjin, had a face as pale as a sheet of paper. He had no strength to move his fingers. He couldn’t even blink his eyelids.
He was afraid that even the slightest ripple of blinking would arouse Yongjin’s aura and cause a lightning strike to strike his forehead.
The man with the sword who had been slapped by Yongjin earlier thought to himself that he was lucky. Yongjin’s aura was truly terrifying.
“Yongjin, calm down. He came to investigate, not to find fault. Don’t misunderstand.”
As he spoke, Sumuheun was amazed at how Yongjin had instantly reversed the roles of the subject and object.
“Yes, I came to investigate. I am here to uncover the details of the incident, not to target you. Shouldn’t you explain yourself to the Shang Dynasty family and the outside world?
Rest assured, if they really did kidnap your parents, then they have broken the rules of the practice world. Our ancient family will not tolerate such unfilial conduct, so we will definitely deal with it fairly.”
The middle-aged scholar spoke hurriedly.
“Fairness? Do you have fairness? Do you think that people who are so great like you even care about others? When Eunmu-sang threatened me in Cheongju Castle, many people already recorded it as Yoo Yeong-ok. You must have seen it too.
But you treated me like a criminal, even though you clearly knew that I was a victim. What else is this if not oppressing people with force? Besides, the Eun family has already been wiped out by the Muk family. My parents and younger sister are gone too, so how can you handle this fairly?”
Yongjin shouted with reddened eyes.
“that…….”
The middle-aged scholar didn’t know what to do. He definitely saw the video. He also clearly heard Eunmu Sang threatening Yongjin. However, this was not the reason he came, so he didn’t think about it seriously.
However, he was left speechless by Yongjin’s angry questions. He even regretted coming to Hyeoncheonbunwon.
“Yongjin, calm down. You must distinguish between friend and foe, and clearly distinguish between favor and resentment.”
Sumuhun said in a cold voice.
However, Su Mu-heun also smiled inside. She had already asked Yong Jin about her parents’ well-being. Yong Jin told her the truth, saying that her parents and younger sister were both safe, so she had nothing to worry about.
Su Mu-heun knew that Yong Jin was being angry on purpose, but Yong Jin was so angry that it seemed so real that even she almost believed it.
Su Mu-heun knew that she had to get along with Yong Jin at this point, so she deliberately made her expression colder. That way, the guys would listen better and wouldn’t try to suppress her by using their status.
When the man with the sword was slapped by Yongjin, Soo Moo-heun almost screamed because she felt so relieved.
“That’s right. I came to investigate. I came to clear your name.”
The middle-aged scholar spoke urgently.
Yongjin took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. He was really angry. The type of people he hated the most were those who used their high status to oppress others.
The middle-aged man pretended to be polite, but in fact he was secretly contemptuous and it was not hidden.
Only after Yongjin put away his sword with a dark face could the middle-aged man sigh in relief. Just now, Yongjin had been so scary, like an angry madman.
“I’m sorry. Yongjin is angry because his parents and younger sister have gone missing and he doesn’t know if they’re alive or dead. I apologize for being rude, so please understand.”
Sumuhun gave a smile of reconciliation.
“It’s okay, it’s okay. Yongjin is a rare boy who values justice and righteousness.”
The middle-aged scholar said with a laugh.
The middle-aged scholar asked Yongjin a few more questions, but this time his tone was very polite.
Yongjin had already done all the calculations in his head, so he told the story of the incident without any hesitation.
There was no fault or question because Muk-ui had helped Yong-jin make up a lie before leaving.
The middle-aged scholar understood why Yongjin was angry through Yongjin’s cooperative behavior and straightforward answers.
After some interrogation, he learned that Yongjin had been transferred to another location due to a problem during the transmission process.
It wasn’t that such things never happened. Since many forced transmissions were from ancient times, there were often cases where problems arose in the transmissions because they were too old.
Moreover, the middle-aged scholar had already sent someone to the Bongmyeong Empire to ask for news before coming here, so he would know the result right away.
After the middle-aged scholar finished speaking, he unexpectedly gave Yongjin a few words of encouragement. He said that he would gather his strength and help Yongjin find his parents.
But Yongjin pouted. It was just a plausible nonsense. The middle-aged scholar was definitely just talking.
After the middle-aged man finished asking his questions, the old man who had been silent for a while finally opened his mouth.
“I am Hwari, appointed by Dantop as the butler of the three lords, Suk, Im, and Gi. I am in charge of the elixir trade for each faction.”
“The Hwa family? What is their relationship with the Hwamu clan?”
“By generation, I am his uncle.”
The old man said.
“Hwamubang’s uncle? Haha, is Hwamubang still alive?”
Yongjin said with a sneer.
“I’m still alive, but I’m suffering from the pain of ten thousand ants eating my marrow day and night. It’s so bad that I’d rather die than live.”
The old man, whose name was Hwari, spoke slowly.
“Good. That’s exactly what I wanted. I know he’s a coward who’s afraid of death and doesn’t have the courage to end his own life.”
“You… you’ve been tormenting him for so long. Isn’t this enough? You shouldn’t push people to the edge. It’s been a long time. I think Mubang has paid the price for his mistakes. Can’t you just give us the antidote now? Show a favor to our Hwa family.”
The old man looked at Yongjin with a stern face, as if holding back his anger.
He was the butler of the three states, and he treated any powerful clan leader within the three states with respect. However, Yongjin was so young that he did not even show any respect, and he became angry.
He was different from the other two. What he represented was the single pagoda. The elixir in their hands controlled the lifeline of each great sect, so no one could touch them.
However, there was no other way for Hwamubang’s work. Since he did not know the recipe, he could not decipher it at all, so he had no choice but to watch Hwamubang cry day and night.
So, the Hwa family put aside their pride and sent a high-ranking person like Hwari to the Hyeoncheon branch office to ask Yongjin for the antidote. Since they had already put aside their status and spoke in a humble manner, it was no different from surrender. It was a great humiliation for the Hwa family.
“Your Majesty, may I decide on this matter?”
Yongjin asked while looking at Sumuhun.
Su Moo-Heun looked back and forth between Yong-Jin and Hwa-Ri, then sighed and said.
“You decide. Whatever you decide, the fountain will support you.”
Yongjin nodded to Sumuhun’s words, then turned his gaze and spoke to Hwari.
“Get out!”
When Yongjin opened his mouth, everyone was surprised. Su Muheun also thought that Yongjin would reject the Hwa family’s offer, but she didn’t know that he would reject it so harshly.
“You …… this dog, what did you say?”
Hwari screamed, shaking her body as if she couldn’t bear it any longer.
“Are you deaf? I told you to get out! You heard me clearly this time, didn’t you?”
Yongjin said with a sneer.
“Su Jang Won, how on earth did you teach the disciples of Hyeoncheonbunwon?”
Hwari spoke to Sumuhun.
Fighting a young boy would be disrespectful, so Hwari tried to subdue Yongjin through Sumuhun.
Sumuhun said calmly.
“Butler Hwa, as I said before, Yongjin has the right to decide. Besides, you said that the reason you came to Bunwon this time was to discuss it with Yongjin. In that case, I cannot interfere.”
“You guys… yeah. yeah! yeah!”
Hwari turned her head and spoke to Yongjin.
“Yongjin, I ask you. Are you going to give me the antidote or not?”
“I won’t give it to you.”
Yongjin’s answer was clear.
The middle-aged scholar and the man with the sword were secretly surprised. How on earth did Yongjin mix the poison that even the single-tower was so helpless?
There were countless elixirs in the pagoda, and the thing they did as if it were their daily meal was to make elixir. But they couldn’t remove Yongjin’s poison?
Moreover, Yongjin’s attitude was surprising. He tried to confront Dantop right away without any hesitation.
For a guy with only a single vein to dare to rebel against the single tower was truly arrogant. Was he crazy enough to want to die?
“You… you’d better think carefully. If you think about it three times before you speak, you won’t regret it.”
There was a threat in Hwamubang’s words.
“Regret? Why should I regret it? I don’t even know where my parents are, so what would I be afraid of? You still try to threaten me? Do you think I’m someone who can be threatened like that? If you have the ability, try to kill me. But if you can’t kill me… Haha, just know that I can do anything.”
Yongjin laughed in a creepy, sinister way.
“Huh, you’re full of yourself. I originally came here to make peace, but you seem like a person who doesn’t know kindness!”
Hwari shouted angrily. He had never seen such a stubborn and inflexible person before.
“Reconciliation? Did I say that I did not know goodwill? Fine. If you wish to be reconciled, bring back to life my friends who died in the Goguryeo Secret Palace, and I will be reconciled with you. Can you do it?”
Yongjin said coldly.
“That’s the enemy of you and the Eun family, and has nothing to do with our Hwa family.”
Hwari said, correcting herself.
“Nonsense, if Hwamubang hadn’t appealed, would I have been the target of blame? If it weren’t for him, would Yukbang’a have died in the secret palace? And yet you evade responsibility and now talk about reconciliation with me?
“You want me to give you the antidote to save his life? What a wild dream!”
Yongjin said angrily.
Thinking about Yuk Bang-ah’s death, his heart ached as if it were being stabbed by a needle. He still could not accept the fact that the flower-like girl was gone forever.
Every time he thought about it, he felt miserable and couldn’t even dare to think about it. So when Yukbang-ah was mentioned again, Yongjin’s eyes turned red and he wanted to kill Hwa-ri.
“You… are truly absurd. You killed many people, too. In your opinion, don’t you deserve to die too?”
Hwari said, furious.
“That’s funny. I’ve always been the victim. Are you saying I can’t fight back even if it means risking my life?”
Yongjin said with a sneer.
