The Nature of Possession - The Nature of Possession chapter 151

151 – EP.7 Festival Tour-2

***

After receiving the new drink, Soyou climbed the stairs and stood in front of the master’s room.

Unlike when I left, the door was slightly open, but I felt a different presence and waited in front of the door for a while for the conversation to end.

Soyou wondered if it was Master’s guest, but upon realizing that In-ho was inside, So-yu tried to enter the room, fearing that the disciple would talk nonsense again.

“I don’t know much about education, but at least I know that I shouldn’t push harder on people who are discouraged.”

Inho’s voice was heard from inside the room.

Soyou’s hand holding the doorknob stopped at the disciple’s voice, which had no playfulness, but was infinitely serious.

Soyou muted the sound of his footsteps and peeped at the situation in the room through the crack in the door.

The back of In-ho, who is kneeling in front of his teacher, came in first.

“You have a point. Children around Soyou’s age would do that. But Soyou is a warrior.”

In an instant, the master’s eyes met his own.

In that brief encounter, Soyou read the master’s will.

‘Be still.’

Seeing that gaze, Soyou suppressed the urge to make the arrogant disciple bow to the master by plunging his head into the ground.

– Gulp

Soyu Namgung swallowed.

“Before being an unmanned person, you are a person. Ambassador.”

At Yeomjin’s words, Inho responded.

It was a plain word without any special modifiers, but for some reason Soyou felt that the words were deeply embedded in his heart.

Inho jogon jogong said his thoughts to the teacher.

There was no haste or hasty judgment.

Soyou felt that Inho’s voice, which was always messing around, was unfamiliar.

– Excitement

And my heart beat very slowly but clearly.

“Do you see your teacher as a girl?”

The Master’s voice is heard again.

“In some cases, yes.”

After In-ho’s answer to his teacher, So-yu didn’t hear anything.

– Excitement

I heard the sound of my heart in my ears. It was strange.

As I stood there blankly for a while, I felt signs of something happening from inside.

I saw In-ho bowing to his teacher and about to leave the room, so So-you sat down, climbed the railing, and clung to it.

Only after confirming that the disciple’s footsteps were moving away from the room, Soyou returned to his original position by strengthening his arms.

“……”

When Soyou hesitantly opened the door, Yeomjin smiled and looked at Soyou.

“So, did you bring your drink?”

“Yes. Here you are.”

“Pour me a drink.”

Soyou put one knee on the ground and poured himself a drink.

The clear drink splashed into the glass.

“Umm…. It smells good.”

Her master closed his eyes and took a sip of his drink.

Yeomjin opened one eye while enjoying the scent that lingered in his mouth.

“Soyou. In-ho said he would go out to see the festival.”

“…yes.”

“It seems that he has a lot of interest in markets and festivals, perhaps because he only lives in the village, so go out with him and let him know.”

Soyou averted his gaze at the teacher’s words of saving face.

“…All right.”

“Yes, go with a light heart. Today is martial arts and training. Don’t think about these things.”

“…yes.”

Soyou said goodbye and left the room.

“Have a good time.”

I heard the teacher’s voice with a smile behind his back.

Soyou moved his feet. The disciple must have returned to his room to find himself.

***

Perhaps the paths crossed, Inho was not in the room.

When I asked the whereabouts of Jeom So-yi, who happened to be passing by, I was told that he had gone towards the garden, although he was not sure.

Soyou’s steps toward the garden were rather slow.

It was because he couldn’t figure out what to say when he saw In-ho’s face.

‘A cheeky thing. What have you done so far, do you dare ask Master to go out to play?’

The first thought that came to my mind was the not-so-soft one.

But that thought did not go three steps.

“Well, the intention is good though…”

Considering the effort to cheer up the downtrodden, it occurred to me that I would not be so angry.

After taking a few more steps, thoughts of the festival now filled my head.

‘Anyway, what was there to see at the festival?’

When he thought [What can I do with him to have fun?], Soyou shook his head.

‘Wake. I’m just trying to ‘guide’ him at Master’s request.’

It was when Soyou reached the garden, making strange movements.

When In-ho’s figure came in from a distance, So-yu unconsciously approached him with quick steps.

However, when he saw the face of Cheong-yeon standing in front of him, he was frozen in place like a mang-buseok.

“what?”

An uncontrollable shriek rose up through his throat.

Seeing the face of the Ice Wheel Gong who had defeated him, Soyou felt something sinking.

In addition, I felt a sticky and thick talisman feeling rising from the nape of my neck to the top of my head.

‘Why are you there?’

Soyou wanted to fly right away, grab Cheongyeon by the throat and scream.

I wanted to ask why I was throwing stones into the pond called the barely calmed mind.

However, the legs did not move at all.

It was because the words that came out of Cheongyeon’s slow mouth choked her legs.

“Today, the game. Did you see it?”

A garden where the son-in-law is quiet. Chung’s voice struck his ears clearly.

Namgung Soyu’s stomach churned.

‘What kind of feeling is this?’

Read at noblemtl. com

Disgusting, irritating, sad, there must have been a word to define these emotions, but possession did not come to mind.

“The Ice Wheel Gong beat the Flame Wheel Gong.”

At Cheongyeon’s words, Soyou lowered her head.

It was because he was the one who contributed to the historic defeat.

“You don’t have to be in Yeomryun Gong anymore. Even if you come to Ice Lunning Gong, you can continue learning martial arts. You can become even stronger than you are now.”

Cheongyeon’s voice, which spoke one syllable at a time, tore through Soyou’s self-esteem that had barely been patched up.

My head was dizzy, and my ears were buzzing.

Just standing here makes me feel sick and dizzy.

There are two options the owner can choose from here.

One is stuck in the gap

The other was to turn around and go back to the room.

Naturally, Soyou chose the latter.

It was when I turned around and moved my legs that were heavier than before.

“Why me?”

Inho’s blunt reply was heard.

Soyou quickly turned around.

Perhaps Cheongyeon was surprised by Inho’s answer, but her eyes, which were always languidly open, widened.

“Huh? That’s right. Because Ice Lun Gong is stronger than Yeom Lun Gong.”

“I see. Ice ring gong is stronger than Yeom Lun Gong, so why am I going to ice ring gong?”

“I was learning martial arts to become stronger… wasn’t it?”

Cheongyeon tilted her head and asked.

“Well, there’s a reason for that.”

Cheongyeon frowned even more at Inho’s cool answer.

“Isn’t it right to learn a stronger martial art? If you haven’t been practicing Yeomrun Gong for a while, there’s no problem if you learn other techniques.”

“I’m not learning Yeomwun Gong just to get stronger.”

“then?”

“Because I have a master, I’m learning Yeomrun Gong.”

At In-ho’s words, Cheong-yeon blinked her eyes.

“I don’t understand.”

“Um… To put it simply. I’m in the Dye Ring Gong because I want to be next to Master.”

– Excitement

Soyou’s heart, which had stopped, starts beating again.

“Even if Master was an instructor at a third-rate dojo in a small village, I would have been by his side.”

“…I do not know.”

“Originally, they say that the human heart is unfathomable.”

Inho smiled.

“But… that would be dangerous.”

Hearing Cheongyeon’s incomprehensible voice, Inho thought for a moment and raised his thumb as if there was no problem.

“I don’t know what’s dangerous, but what’s worse than dying?”

“……”

At the sound so carefree, Cheongyeon did not move as if frozen in place.

– Crisp

A tree branch snapped in the distance, and Cheongyeon and Inho turned their heads.

Seeing Soyu Namgung walking this way, Inho waved his hand.

“Ah, Master! Are you still looking… Eup?”

Namgung Soyou, who walked with great strides, covered Inho’s mouth with the palm of his hand and moved him behind him.

It became the appearance that Namgung Soyou separated the relationship between Cheongyeon and Inho.

“Yes, I heard from Master. Let’s go to the festival.”

Looking straight into Cheongyeon’s eyes, Namgoong Soyou said.

“Cheongyeon. Don’t do this again.”

Soyu Namgung growled lowly, and Cheongyeon left the garden without a word.

In-ho, who greeted Cheong-yeon as he walked away, turned his gaze to Namgung So-yu.

“Whew, I was scared to think they were fighting. Master, are we going too soon?”

In-ho looked at Namgung So-yu, who was leaning on his shoulder, with a strange expression.

“Well, well. I leaned against it because I got dizzy for a moment, so stay silent.”

Sensing Inho’s gaze staring at him, Namgoong Soyou turned his red face to the other side and murmured.
