Episode 128. Empty-handed is disappointing (3)

Hanbin’s serious expression faded for a moment.

He continued speaking with a playful expression, stroking his chin.

“It’s commonly called a squirrel.”

“ah!”

Seolhwa opened her mouth wide as if she had nothing to say.

Because it wasn’t a story that would come out in such a serious situation.

Seolhwa was genuinely curious about Hanbin’s true feelings.

She was forced to drink poison by Hanbin and worked as a maid for three years to detoxify herself.

But as I spent time with Hanbin, I started to feel a little strange.

It is my belief that Hanbin is the one who has taken better care of himself than anyone else since birth.

He took better care of me than my father, the master of Heukcheon, and even better than my strict nanny when I was young.

Seolhwa thought that she was now enjoying everything she had not been able to enjoy as a child.

Sometimes it’s dangerous though.

Seolhwa learned the basics one by one under Hanbin’s instructions.

In Seolhwa’s opinion, Hanbin was a natural martial arts instructor.

Every single movement was explained in an easy-to-understand manner and incorrect movements were pointed out precisely.

Hanbin said, “Let’s practice for about half a day.

“I’m going to take a break for a bit, so you guys practice amongst yourselves.”

Seolhwa and Imoo-myeong won at the same time.

“all right.”

“I will obey your orders.”

Hanbin quietly went to a corner of the training ground and examined the floating emergency light in the air.

[Basic]

[Speed: thirty]

[… … ]

[Heart: Emptiness]

A new attribute called ‘heart’ was created to represent the mind.

However, there was a void in that mind, indicating that it was empty and not filled up.

The newly established Heart in the basic edition clearly had the attribute of being able to use the True Dragon Sword.

Hanbin smiled without realizing it.

Lee Moo-myung, who was watching Hanbin’s smile from afar, whispered in a low voice.

“Seolhwa, Master’s expression is strange. I guess I should be careful.”

“That’s obvious. I think it’s better to do it yourself.”

After finishing speaking, Seol-hwa quickly waved her sword in the air and formed the shape of the Pa-hon Sword that Han-bin had taught her.

* * *

After two weeks.

He was planning to leave right after the mission was over, but Hanbin, who had received the arrangement of the Yongrin Sword Technique, stayed in Hanamjeongga for a while to put his enlightenment into practice.

Of course, that practice was the transmission of the sword of breaking one’s engagement.

Meanwhile, Hanbin conveyed the form and properties of the Pa-eong Sword to Imoo-myeong and Seol-hwa.

The two were able to learn the engagement sword that Hanbin had passed on, albeit clumsily.

Other people may not have known, but Hanbin could see the results with his own eyes.

[Basic]

[… … ]

[Heart: Two]

He acquired his powers from Seolhwa and Imoo-myeong.

In this process, Hanbin also realized quite a few things.

He opened the way to the fusion section by learning the eighteen steps of begging from Hong Chil-gae.

What was strange at that time was that the eighteen begging steps that Hong Chil-gae performed were not polar, but the eighteen begging steps that he performed were polar.

Of course, it was a basic part of the Yongrin Sword Technique that utilized the inner knot, but it was an unexpected difference.

But it was the same even then.

I thought that if I taught them everything, they would definitely be able to use the Pa-Eun-Gyeong-Sword to a certain level.

However, the two people’s skills were far from enough to complete the Pahon Sword that Hanbin had passed on.

If I were to categorize the enlightenment of the herbivore, it would seem to correspond to one of the twelve saints.

Perhaps, he concluded that the only one who could unfold the polarity from the beginning was himself, who had a connection with the Yongrin Sword Technique.

Of course, it was definitely a higher level swordsmanship than the swordsmanship they had learned.

Imoo-myeong and Seol-hwa felt it with their whole bodies.

Hanbin knew that it was now time to leave Hanamjeongga and return to Habuk.

It was when Hanbin was heading to Gajujeon to say goodbye to Gaju Jeongmuryong.

One of the guardian warriors of the house ran towards Hanbin like lightning.

“Your Majesty! The Lord is looking for you urgently.”

Hanbin tilted his head at his words.

For two weeks, Hanam Jeongga’s head of household, Jeong Mu-ryong, provided all the necessary conveniences, but never visited Hanbin.

It was clear that something unimaginably urgent had come up.

‘What on earth is going on?’

* * *

Hanbin, who arrived at Gajujeon, narrowed his eyes.

Because there were only four people there, including himself.

Lady Hong Chil-gae arrived first, and next to her stood the head of the household, Jeong Mu-ryong, and the grand duke, Jeong In-ji.

For some reason, among them, Grand Duke Jeong In-ji stood in front of the door like a stone statue without saying a word.

While Hanbin was wondering what was going on, Gaju Jeongmu-ryong opened his mouth.

“The reason I have arranged this place today is to conclude the incident that occurred in Hanam Jeongga. I will carry out the final sentence.”

Hong Chil-gae nodded as if he knew what he meant.

Hanbin also nodded his head slightly at that sight.

It seemed like an opportunity to hold those responsible responsible for the tragedy that occurred in Hanam Jeongga over the past two weeks, which had been somewhat resolved.

Judging from the current mood, it was clear that Gaju Jeong Mu-ryong was trying to hold Grand Duke Jeong In-ji responsible.

Gaju Jeongmu-ryong continued speaking, this time looking back and forth between Hanbin and Hong Chil-gae.

“I would like to ask two distinguished guests to testify about this matter. Would you be willing to listen?”

After finishing speaking, Jeong Mu-ryong gave lottery tickets to Han Bin and Hong Chil-gae with a solemn expression.

Hong Chil-gae nodded and answered.

“Of course, go ahead.”

“Yes, I like that too.”

Hanbin also accepted Jeongmu-ryong’s request.

Then he glanced to the side.

Standing there were Seolhwa and Imoo-myeong, who had come along by chance.

I finally thought that this wasn’t a place for the two of us.

Hanbin was just about to give them instructions.

Jeong Mu-ryong shook his head.

“Master Sa, aren’t they the servants of Master Sa? They can stay with us.”

Jeong Mu-ryong, who was looking at Seol-hwa and Imoo-myeong, also gave them a lottery ticket.

There was an expression of recognition that Lee Mu-myeong and Seol-hwa had played a big role in saving Hanam Jeongga.

After finishing speaking, Jeong Mu-ryong slowly walked to Taesa-ui.

Thud thud.

The sound of the bell ringing as if I was walking with my internal energy on purpose.

Jeong Mu-ryong sat down with such momentum that the Taesaui seemed to be about to break.

widely!

Jeong Mu-ryong said, glaring at Jeong In-ji fiercely.

“If you have something to say, just say it.”

At Jeong Mu-ryong’s sharp shout, Jeong In-ji slowly walked towards Taesa.

Then he released his sword at Jeong Mu-ryong’s feet.

widely!

It was the sacred water of Hanamjeongga, representing the black cow that he had put down.

Jeong Mu-ryong asked after seeing the sword.

“What does that mean?”

“I am not qualified to be a soju owner.”

“You’re not qualified?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“That makes sense.”

After finishing speaking, Gaju Jeongmu-ryong slowly came down from the Taesa Temple.

Thud thud.

Jeong Mu-ryong approached Jeong In-ji and grabbed the sword that Jeong In-ji had put down.

Jeong Mu-ryong, who had been fiddling with the scabbard, pulled out the sword.

Sreung!

The sword, bathed in sunlight streaming through the cracks in the window, sways strangely.

It didn’t matter whether it was sunlight or darkness.

Jeong Mu-ryong put his sword to Jeong In-ji’s neck without a moment’s hesitation.

If you just apply a little force, Jeong In-ji’s neck will snap.

Imoo-myeong, who was watching the scene, opened his eyes wide.

This was because, in the ten years that I had been eating at Hanamjeongga, this was the first time I had seen the head of the household, Jeong Mu-ryong, look so angry.

‘Are you really trying to cut off Jeong In-ji’s neck?’

That didn’t work either.

I had to step forward and stop this.

If Hanbin was Imoo-myeong’s second benefactor, then Jeong In-ji was his first benefactor.

Imoo-myeong unconsciously closed his eyes because he couldn’t make up his mind.

At that time, Jeong Mu-ryong spoke in a low voice.

“Your sins are serious. As the head of the household, you neglected to manage the household. Even though you were brothers, you trusted them too much. The biggest sin is that you tried to avoid responsibility.”

“Father, I… … .”

Before Jeong In-ji could finish speaking, Jeong Mu-ryong continued.

“If you want to unpack, pack everything away.”

After finishing speaking, Jeong Mu-ryong narrowed his eyebrows.

At the same time, a blue aura lingers around the sword.

It was an action that contained the belief that he would cut off Jeong In-ji’s head at any moment.

Jeong In-ji said in a trembling voice.

“Oh, father.”

“If you find it difficult to turn back, I will cut off your head today. Choose.”

“… … .”

Jeong In-ji couldn’t say anything.

The reason he announced that he would step down as a small business owner was because he had no way to atone for his past mistakes.

Jeong In-ji looked at Jeong Mu-ryong, who was holding a sword with a blue aura.

At that moment, Jeong In-ji’s eyes widened.

There was no emotion in Jeong Mu-ryong’s eyes.

Both a feeling of reproach and a feeling of anticipation.

I was looking at Jeong In-ji without any emotion.

It felt like I was looking into the eyes of a monk who had attained enlightenment.

Jeong In-ji said.

“I will obey your command.”

At the same time as that answer, the sword energy on the sword that Jeong Mu-ryong was holding disappeared.

“You go from today.”

“all right.”

“You will take over the story I shared with Peng So-hyeop. There must not be an inch of negligence.”

“I will keep that in mind.”

As Jeong In-ji was deeply wounded, Jeong Mu-ryong put his sword into his pocket.

Okay!

Before the sound even ended, Jeong Mu-ryong turned his gaze away.

Wherever his gaze was directed, there were Hong Chil-gae and Han Bin.

“Thank you, Senior Mujeja, Peng Sohyeop. I will take my leave now. The new head of the household will handle the other matters.”

Jeong Mu-ryong pointed to Jeong In-ji with a warm smile.

Hanbin quietly nodded at that sight.

Hong Chil-gae swallowed a bitter smile, as if his heart was not light.

It was the moment when a giant that had dominated an era stepped back.

Who is Jeong Mu-ryong?

He raised Hanam Jeongga, which had been unknown until then, to the ranks of the five major families of Gangnam.

In addition, he was a prominent figure who left his mark on the world of martial arts, to the point that when you think of Hanam Jeongga, you think of Hwaegeom.

It was a very humble retirement for such a big shot.

However, Jeong Mu-ryong has a satisfied look in his eyes.

Because it was a place where two benefactors served as witnesses.

Hanbin looked at Jeong Mu-ryong, who slowly turned around, and nodded quietly.

Everyone here would know that the person he truly wanted to condemn was not Jeong In-ji, but Jeong Moo-ryong himself.

The fact that he retired alive was a bit different from the history of the martial arts world from his previous life.

Of course, this was a blessing for Hanbin.

As long as the Hanam Jeongga remains intact, the contract signed with the head of the family, Jeong Mu-ryong, will also have effect.

* * *

After Hanbin and his group left, Jeong In-ji, who became the new head of the household, inherited the household’s sacred water.

I thought that all there were were the swords used by Gaju Pae and Jeong Mu-ryong, but there was one more.

Gaju Jeongmu Ryong handed over a letter, saying that it was something that Gaju had to protect.

Jeong In-ji picked up the letter with trembling hands.

“This is urgent… … .”

Jeong In-ji looked around to see if anyone was watching and focused on the letter.

Because the letter handed over along with the god of the house could not possibly contain ordinary content.

In Jeong In-ji’s opinion, this was an emergency.

What if this letter contains a secret recipe that will instantly increase the power of Hanamjeongga?

Jeong In-ji’s heart started pounding.

Where on earth did this emergency come from?

After a moment of doubt, Jeong In-ji opened the letter.

Bam!

The letter was opened and the contents that were expected to be secret were finally revealed.

Jeong In-ji opened her eyes wide in shock after reading the first line of the letter.

-Hanam Jeongga and Peng Hanbin are… …

This was the contract that Jeong Mu-ryong and Han Bin had signed.

Jeong In-ji also knew about the existence of the contract.

But, the more I read, the more absurd it became.

This was, in a word, an unfair contract.

It wasn’t that the give and take was unfair.

The give and take was fair, but the deposit was the problem.

Jeong In-ji smiled wryly.

Although Hanbin was the family’s benefactor, it was not possible for him, as the current head of the household, to offer up his entire liver and gallbladder.

Jeong In-ji slightly raised the corners of her lips.

Contracts were usually limited to the period in which they were made.

Now that the owner of the house has changed, I was thinking about coming up with a new contract to suit him.

– … … It is effective for generations.

Jeong In-ji couldn’t help but bow her head at this part.

It was at that moment that resentment towards his father, Jeong Mu-ryong, began to well up inside him.

CLANG!

The door to the Gajujeon opened.

Then a warrior came running in a hurry.

The warrior standing in front of the new head of the household, Jeong In-ji, shouted urgently.

“Traces of an intruder have been found!”

“An intruder? Where the hell are you?”

“This is the waiting room for guests.”

“I need to check first, so you go ahead.”

Jeong In-ji stood up from her seat, leaving the letter next to her.
