Episode 754: The Secret Related to Im Geun-nam

“Haha, you really gave me this ‘Green Soul’. You are truly the Emperor of the Northern Sea Empire.”

Before the Zhouzheng Festival, the Emperor of the Northern Sea Empire was very pleased and said:

“This time, you have brought joy to Jim, so I will reward you. Tell me. What do you wish?”

‘Huh? When you say that, I come to my senses.’

Bei Jin, who had been talking to the Emperor of the Northern Sea Empire with a bored expression, felt his spirits rise as soon as he heard that he would be given a reward.

“I would be very touched if Your Majesty were to give me tens of thousands of Hyunseok.”

Bukjin’s eyes sparkled with anticipation.

The Emperor of the Northern Sea Empire laughed as he watched the advance northward, then opened his mouth.

“Actually, you can make an even bolder request.”

‘Oh? Could it be that what I asked for was too little?’

Bukjin rubbed his hands and spoke with a slightly embarrassed expression.

“Then 100,000 Hyunseok?”

The Emperor of the North Sea Empire waved his hand and said.

“That’s not what Jim told you.”

Bukjin tilted his head with a slightly dazed expression.

“What does that mean?”

Bukjin stopped and rubbed his forehead, then spoke with a look of doubt.

“I’m not really interested in anything other than Hyunseok.”

The Emperor of the North Sea Empire twitched his lips.

“Have you ever thought about anything else? About your family, for example?”

“My family?”

Bukjin made a slightly bewildered expression, then spoke in a calm voice.

“Your Majesty destroyed the Im family, didn’t you?”

The Emperor of the North Sea Empire’s face darkened at those words.

‘How can you be so direct?’

“Surely you don’t want to restore the glory of the Im family?”

He had no choice but to propose to Bukjin first.

“I can grant you the title of All-Weather. I can restore the privileges and treatment of the Im family in the Empire.”

“I’m not interested.”

Bukjin shook his head and immediately refused.

“That’s all fake.”

“…….”

The Emperor of the North Sea Empire looked dumbfounded and said nothing.

Suddenly, a person popped into his mind.

A brief moment of silence.

When he returned to the capital and reported on his work, Biseol Ilchal had once evaluated Imbukjin with an unusual opinion.

Bisul Ilchal said that Imbukjin had a special ability to make people angry with just three words.

In fact, the last time I summoned Bukjin to the palace, we had a pleasant conversation, so I thought that Bisul Ilchal’s words were an exaggeration.

But today, I finally think I understand why Biseol Ilchal gave that assessment.

His assessment was accurate.

“Are you really saying that you don’t want to avenge the Im family?”

The Emperor of the North Sea Empire did not give up.

The son of Jeoncheon-hu Im Geun-nam has no interest in the title of ‘Jeoncheon-hu’?

How could something so absurd happen?

Bei Jin stared at the Emperor of the Northern Sea Empire and said.

“Your Majesty, please tell me honestly.

Is it because the financial situation of the imperial family is so bad that they have to wipe their buttocks with grass that you are being so stingy? Is that why you can’t give me the Hyeonseok?”

“…….”

The Emperor of the North Sea Empire said nothing.

‘Damn, wiping your butt with a blade of grass, can’t we have a proper conversation?’

After confirming that Bukjin really had no interest in such things as titles, he changed his tune.

“Okay, then let’s talk about something else…….”

He waved his hand.

Then, the eunuch Jang Cheon-cheon, who was nearby, took the people and withdrew from the Jjolgyeongjeon.

In Daejeon, only two people remained: Beijin and the Emperor of the North Sea Empire.

Soon, the gate formation on the wall of Daejeon began to open.

Daejeon was soon completely cut off from the world.

A mysterious atmosphere suddenly flowed through Daejeon.

The Emperor of the Northern Sea Empire fixed his gaze on Beijin and suddenly asked a question without any reason.

“Don’t you want to know the truth about your father’s disappearance?”

“Is it true?”

Bukjin said.

“Are you saying that my father was framed?”

“That’s not it.”

The Emperor of the North Sea Empire said.

“But things were very strange back then.”

“You say it’s strange?”

Bukjin asked with a curious expression.

This was definitely a miracle.

The story of the dimension shift to this world has already reached 700 episodes, but the father who mysteriously disappeared has not appeared yet.

If this is a foreshadowing, isn’t it buried too long?

‘Author, you haven’t forgotten, have you?’

“Not long after your father returned from Yunmeng City, I learned that forces from the Central Empire were secretly pursuing him.

Your father had confided in you about this before, so you sent a messenger to investigate secretly.

As a result, I learned that the force secretly chasing your father is a very scary force.

However, what that secretive force was more concerned about was your mother’s business… … .”

The Emperor of the North Sea Empire spoke with excitement, his expression lost in reminiscence.

As soon as Bukjin heard this, his eyes lit up.

‘This plot sounds familiar.

Isn’t this a classic plot that the third-rate writer Nan Se-gwang-do used the most in his previous life?

The story of Lee Mok, the main character of his work ‘Seongmu Seongsin’, was similar to this.

‘If that’s true, then I must come from a great background.

The old mother who died young was probably of a special status.

Perhaps a princess of some supreme empire in the central region? Or a saint of the highest sect? Or a heavenly chosen one of some orthodox religious temple?

Anyway, the mother, who was of noble birth, fell in love with the father, who was of low birth, either because she was blind or because she took the wrong medicine. For some reason, they locked lips and vowed to live together.

So the two of them secretly escaped and came to the North Sea Empire, where they hid their names and lived ordinary lives.

Then, eventually, he was discovered… …and chased by a terrifying pursuing force.

When they found out that their mother was already dead, they eventually turned their arrows on their father, and the father who became the target of their anger disappeared.’

“All right.”

Bukjin ended his delusions and spoke with a confident voice.

“So our father’s disappearance was actually murdered by that mysterious force?”

“no.”

The Emperor of the North Sea Empire denied it in one word.

‘Huh? I’ve read hundreds of internet novels and watched countless soap operas, and my guess is wrong? I can’t admit it.’

Bukjin said.

“Then what is the truth that Your Majesty speaks?”

“Your father was a very intelligent man. He came to the palace secretly and found the luggage before he disappeared.”

The Emperor of the Northern Sea Empire looked at Beijin and continued speaking meaningfully.

“Do you know what this means?”

“Well, perhaps he trusted you too much and came to ask for your child before he died?”

Bukjin asked whatever came to his mind.

“…….”

The Emperor of the North Sea Empire was momentarily speechless, and felt slightly annoyed.

‘Why is it so hard to communicate with this kid?’

“At that time, there were as many masters as clouds in the palace. So, two celestial beings were guarding the imperial palace.

In addition, the imperial family had a long-accumulated system of gate formations and various protective institutions.

At that time, all the formation organs were activated to fight against that mysterious force. However, your father entered the palace without a sound or a trace and met me.

Lim Buk-jin, in your opinion, how much training is required to make that possible?

The Emperor of the Northern Sea Empire asked Beijin a question.

“Could it be because I am familiar with the terrain of the palace?”

Bukjin said.

“It is impossible to know the secrets of the Imperial Family. Besides, your father was a predecessor of the Empire, not of Imperial blood.”

The Emperor of the Northern Sea Empire, now accustomed to the Northern Jin’s method of communication, answered directly without hesitation.

“You must have at least the training of a 3rd-grade celestial being to do so.”

The northward advance was briefly shaken.

‘Your father’s skills are that high?’

All sides’ assessments of Im Geun-nam were that his military tactics were divine, but no one said that he was a thousand-level strong man.

‘Isn’t this setting already going too far?’

“Your Majesty, what you say is, uhm… no, is it that our father has been hiding his abilities all this time?”

Bukjin asked as if confirming.

The Emperor of the North Sea Empire nodded and continued speaking.

“Yes. That day, I felt from him an intimidation that only a strong man can have.

I can be completely sure. Your father has been hiding his skills all along.”

“Then what on earth did you say when you came to see His Majesty?”

Bukjin asked with a curious expression.

“Your father is…….”

Just as the Emperor of the North Sea Empire was about to open his mouth to answer.

“Just a moment.”

Bukjin interrupted.

Then suddenly he started looking around with eyes full of caution.

“Your Majesty, please stop talking for a moment. I need to check if there are any assassins around……”

The Emperor of the North Sea Empire’s heart sank at those words.

‘An assassin? How can there be an assassin in my palace?

‘I wonder if Bukjin discovered some clues through his excellent training.’

The Emperor of the North Sea Empire was momentarily surprised and confused.

After briefly scanning the surroundings, Bukjin nodded and opened his mouth as if he had finished checking everything.

“Your Majesty, it is safe… Please speak.”

“You, just now……”

The Emperor of the North Sea Empire stopped talking.

“Oh, what happened is, on TV… no, if you look at popular novels or something, whenever someone tries to tell a secret, they always get killed. That’s why I just skimmed through it. It can’t hurt to be careful.

I have already confirmed. There are no assassins, so Your Majesty can tell me the secret without any worries.”

Bukjin said with a serious face.

“…….”

The Emperor of the North Sea Empire was momentarily speechless.

He felt like shouting, ‘Listen, summon Bisul Ilchal to the palace, I will appoint him as the Minister of Personnel!’

‘You can see people so clearly. This lunatic, Im Buk-jin, is really not fit for conversation.’
