Episode 184. Unwelcome Guest (3)

Cheon Yu-su was rubbing his bruised cheek with an egg with a sullen face.

“It’s too much. Seriously.”

“…….”

“But it wasn’t like I had to punch him in the face.”

Cheon Yu-su looked dissatisfied with that fact.

I think there was something like this last time too… … . When the bruise on Cheon Yu-su’s cheek seemed bigger than expected, Cheon Myeong-myeong felt a little sorry.

“You’re not even a dog, so why do you keep trying to attack me?”

“That’s because I’m touched! Didn’t you come there because you were worried about me?”

“…….”

“Then maybe I can hug you once!”

“Why does it happen like that?”

No matter what, Cheon Myeong-myeong still felt uncomfortable with men hugging each other.

That and worrying about the water level are separate issues.

I thought he wouldn’t hug me anymore after getting hit once last time, but seeing him do the same thing, I guess he got hit lightly that time.

“Anyway, don’t come to me again. It’s disgusting.”

“Hey, is it gross?”

“Yes, so I don’t know why I’m punching you, so if you don’t want to get hurt, it would be better for your health not to come near me.”

This time, I warned you clearly.

Cheon Yu-su looked extremely shocked, but soon let out a deep sigh and muttered to himself as if lamenting.

“Whew… yeah. If I get hit twice, my face will be completely shattered.”

“…….”

“Give me back my emotions!”

“I never intended to impress anyone in the first place.”

“What a spicy guy.”

Cheon Yu-su rubbed the egg on his cheek again with a very angry expression.

Cheon Myeong-myeong watched the scene for a moment and then spoke in a low voice.

“older brother.”

“Why, you cold-blooded brat.”

“What did you talk about with the head of the dark house there?”

At that moment, Cheon Yu-su’s hand stopped.

Soon, Cheon Yu-su slowly looked at Cheon Myeong-myeong with a calm expression.

“Be careful. Name.”

“……?”

“The shadowy world might be after you.”

Cheon Myeong-myeong looked slightly puzzled, as if he had received an answer he had never expected.

The same goes for Cheonmuin and Jang Dongsu.

Aiming for Cheon Myeong Myeong in the dark world. The three of them could not immediately understand the meaning of those words.

“What does that mean? You’re aiming for a title in the Shadowverse?”

The Heavenly Warrior asked as if he was getting angry.

Aiming for a thousand names. That phrase probably doesn’t mean anything good.

In particular, the statement that the Dark Angel was after Cheon Myeong Myeong, rather than any other place, could only be heard with one meaning.

“They’re trying to kill me.”

“……!”

“The Dark Family I was born into has been a family that has specialized in assassination since ancient times. Of course, their reputation has weakened compared to the past, but… I heard that they were very active when the Magic Church was founded.”

The martial arts of the Shadow Master are highly specialized in assassination.

Taking advantage of this characteristic, the Dark Spirits were able to play a significant role in the all-out war against the Heavenly Demon Sect.

The number of people who died in the hands of the Cheonmasin Church alone is more than ten.

Of course, since assassinations are carried out secretly behind the scenes, they are not widely known to the world, but if we only consider their pure achievements, they are by no means inferior to those of the Ten Great Demonic Clans.

“The Shadow of the Magic Church. That’s what the Dark Shadows were called back then.”

“The Shadow of the Magic Church…….”

“A family that led the Magic Cult to victory in an unseen place. Once they set a target, they never give up until they kill it.”

Cheon Yu-su had an unusually serious expression on his face.

That must mean that the current situation is serious.

Cheon Mu-in looked at Cheon Myeong-myeong with a thoughtful expression, but Cheon Myeong-myeong, who was actually the person concerned, maintained a calm expression.

“Why are you targeting me there?”

Next, Cheon Myeong-myeong asked in a calm tone.

Until now, there has been no contact between Cheon Myeong Myeong and the Dark Spirit.

Of course, this time there was a connection with the owner of the house, Yeongso-gak, but according to Cheon Yu-su, it sounded like the dark house had been targeting Cheon Myeong-myeong even before that.

“I don’t know the exact reason.”

“…….”

“But if I had to guess… wouldn’t it have something to do with competition?”

Cheon Myeong-myeong was thinking the same thing even before hearing the answer.

Because that would be the only reason a shadowy being with whom he had no contact would kill himself.

In addition, there was a high possibility that the shadow singer was targeting someone at their request.

‘I don’t think he’s going to kill me because he thinks I’m his competitor.’

The candidate for the dark singer was Cheon Yu-su.

In the first place, wasn’t he providing significant help to Cheon Yu-su?

The dark spirit must also know that he played a huge role in Cheon Yu-su’s survival until now.

Of course, it could be that he is trying to eliminate himself because of his greed for the younger cult leader, but it seems strange that he is already trying to kill himself when there are still many candidates left.

“…….”

So, it was more likely that the dark spirit was trying to kill himself for another purpose rather than for Cheon Yu-su.

Any of the candidates who survived the competition so far… … could have requested the Shadow Master to assassinate them.

‘Cheon Yu-su probably doesn’t know who the client is.’

If I had known, I would have told you right away.

It seemed unlikely that Yeongso-gak would have told Cheon Yu-su the identity of the person who requested the funeral.

“Cheon Yoo Soo.”

That was when.

From somewhere, a sharp and cold voice came into Cheon Myeong-myeong’s ear.

The owner of that voice was Cheon Mu-in. Judging from his tone of voice and his eyes, he could tell right away that he had something to say to Cheon Yu-su.

“There is one thing that needs to be pointed out here.”

“……?”

“You said that you were aiming for Cheonmyeongmyeong in the dark world.”

“Yeah. That’s what I said.”

“The fact that you know that also means that Yeongso-gak told you about the assassination.”

At that moment, Cheon Yu-su seemed to realize what Cheon Mu-in was trying to say to him.

“Now, wait a minute. What on earth are you trying to say?”

“…You might also be aiming for a thousand-year-old name.”

At those words, Cheon Yu-su was dumbfounded and lost for words.

At that time, Jang Dong-soo spoke to Cheon Mu-in in a slightly raised voice.

“What on earth does that mean? Prince Cheon Yu-su is after Prince Cheon Myeong-myeong!”

“Have you forgotten? Cheon Yu-su is also a member of the Dark Spirits.”

“Ha, but…….”

“Of course I know. Cheon Yu-su is an abandoned being from the dark world.”

As he said that, Cheonmuin glared at Cheonyusu again.

“Even so, it is undeniable that the blood of the Dark Spirit flows within Cheon Yu-su’s body.”

“……!”

“Rather, Yeongso-gak may have come looking for Cheon Yu-su to target that part. He planted Cheon Yu-su among us as a kind of informant.”

An entity abandoned by his family. Because of that one fact, Cheon Yu-su was not suspected at all.

You can tell just by looking at Jang Dong-soo’s reaction.

Cheonmuin suspected that Yeongso-gak might have approached Cheonyusu with that very point in mind.

“That’s ridiculous! Prince Cheon Yu-su is a traitor… Didn’t Prince Cheon Yu-su fight alongside us, risking his life, until now?”

“You may not know it, but I haven’t worked with Cheon Yu-su for very long. So I haven’t built up as much trust as you do.”

“It’s not Prince Cheon Yu-su. If he was an enemy from the beginning, would you have told this to Prince Cheon Myeong-myeong?”

“That could also be a way to induce a letdown. It’s a method often used by spies.”

“……!”

“And why would Cheon Yu-su know that fact in the first place? It must be because Yeong So-gak talked about Cheon Myeong-myeong.”

By leaking a little information, you can gain the enemy’s favor. In this way, the informant can infiltrate the enemy’s camp as a more friendly force.

Of course, as Jang Dong-soo said, there was a possibility that Cheon Yu-soo was not an enemy.

However, we cannot say that the opposite possibility is completely absent.

Since the opponent was a shadowy figure and Cheon Yu-su was the candidate there, it was necessary to confirm this part accurately.

“I doubt you.”

“…….”

“I swore to ride on the same boat as Cheon Myeong Myeong, so I will protect Cheon Myeong Myeong no matter what. That is why I doubt you so much. I hope you understand that part.”

“…I completely understand.”

Cheon Yu-su also seemed to be accepting of his situation.

Why was he being suspected like this? And he didn’t feel resentful towards Cheonmuin for being suspected.

As if he had made up his mind, Cheon Yu-su opened his mouth with a slightly different look in his eyes.

“As you said, Yeongso-gak ordered me to assassinate Myeong-yeong.”

“……!”

“That’s why I thought the shadow singer was after the naming.”

also.

Cheon Mu-in had a calm expression on his face after hearing those words, but Jang Dong-su looked very surprised as if he had been greatly shocked.

“Your Majesty, could it really be……”

“no!”

“……?”

“Although Youngso-gak ordered me to assassinate him, I immediately refused the order!”

The look in his eyes and tone of voice that seemed to indicate that he was wronged.

In fact, there was not an inch of falsehood in those words.

However, there was still distrust in Cheon Mu-in’s eyes, and Cheon Yu-su desperately opened his mouth as if trying to clear his name.

“The Shadow Lord has abandoned me and neglected me until now, considering me an unnecessary being. Just because they are now shamelessly issuing orders in such a place, there is absolutely no reason for me to follow them.”

“…….”

“Rather than a place like that, wouldn’t it be natural to side with Mingming who needs me? Of course, if I just say this, you won’t believe me……. If you want, you can become our informant and approach Yeongso-gak!”

“…That doesn’t completely dispel our suspicions. Could it be that he’s pretending to be our informant while actually trying to communicate more smoothly with Yeongso-gak?”

“Then how on earth can I get you to trust me?”

Cheon Yu-su shouts as if he is being treated unfairly.

There was not the slightest hint of falsehood in that appearance.

Considering Cheon Yu-su’s usual appearance, I didn’t think he would be able to act like that, but it was a bit ambiguous to be confident about that.

‘… It’s not easy.’

In fact, even though he had been telling Cheon Yu-su this and that, Cheon Mu-in couldn’t come up with a proper method.

It’s possible to have doubts without any specific basis, but isn’t it incredibly difficult to show trust?

Even if he were in Cheon Yoo-soo’s position, he didn’t think he could have come up with a better solution than that.

Swish-.

In the end, Cheonmuin’s gaze was directed at Cheon Myeongmyeong.

“Name it. You decide.”

“…….”

“I will follow that.”

Everyone here saw the thousand-man sign and followed it.

Also, isn’t the target of the dark song Cheonmyeongmyeong?

Since everything was ambiguous, Cheonmuin had no choice but to hand over the decision-making power to Cheon Myeongmyeong.

“…….”

Cheon Myeong-myeong looked at Cheon Yu-su without saying a word.

Cheon Yu-su looked at Cheon Myeong-myeong with earnest eyes as if asking him to understand his true feelings, and only after a long time, when the corners of his mouth were dry, did Cheon Myeong-myeong finally open his mouth.

“…Suspicion and evil spirits are the biggest causes of internal strife.”

“…….”

“That might be what Yeongso-gak is aiming for.”

There is no end to the suspicion of one another. That was the conclusion reached by Cheon Myeong-Myeong.

“I will trust you, brother.”

“…….”

“So, Cheonmuin. You too, have stopped doubting your brother.”

“…i get it.”

Since he had left the judgment to Cheon Myeong-myeong, Cheon Mu-in had no choice but to answer obediently.

“denomination!”

At that moment, Cheon Yu-su’s face started to cry again.

Cheon Yu-su stood up and spread his arms, seeming extremely happy that he was believed in.

“Oh, this won’t work.”

“…….”

“I don’t want to get bruised on both sides, so I’ll stop here.”

As if he had discovered the fist of Cheon Myeong-myeong right in front of him, Cheon Yu-su lowered both arms as he spoke.

Fortunately, it seems like he learned something this time, perhaps because he got hit in the face a little while ago.

Watching the retreating figure, Cheon Myeong-myeong also slowly lowered the fist he had raised.

“…First of all, everyone, be careful.”

“……?”

“Because when they say that the shadowy world is targeting me, it could mean that they are targeting the people around me.”

When Cheon Myeong-myeong said that, everyone’s eyes changed.

The dark shadow singer was after Cheon Myeong Myeong. However, anyone within the radius could easily become a target.

When Cheonmuin realized that fact, he smiled as if it was good.

“The sea I’ve been hoping for. Now I can finally fly.”

“I will protect you, Confucius.”

Even though he said that the Dark Shadows might send a water cannon, Cheonmuin and Jang Dongsu looked confident.

Is it better to look confident than to look scared?

Cheon Myeong-myeong glanced at Cheon Yu-su while thinking about that.

“…You’re not trying to kill me, are you?”

“…….”

“No matter what, he’s my grandson… Uh, what should I do? Myung-myeong?”

Unlike the other two, Cheon Yu-su had a very frightened look on his face.

Yes, that’s Cheon Yu-su.

Looking at that sight, Cheon Myeong-myeong said indifferently.

“Then go that way.”

“too bad!”

Along with Cheon Yu-su’s scream, faint laughter erupted from the room.
