Chronicles of the Demon Faction - Chapter 299

Episode 299 Yeomramagun (閻羅魔君) (5)

Everyone’s faces hardened.

Namgunghwa said calmly.

“You must be Jegal Sojero.”

Zhuge Xiaoying smiled and lowered his head.

“It’s been a while since I saw you. How many times have we seen each other in the past?”

“Yes, I remember.”

Namgungryong frowned.

“Jegalse?”

Zhuge Xiaoying turned his gaze to Nam Gung-ryong.

“Ah, this is my first time with Namgung Sohyeop. Greetings. Zhuge…”

“That’s enough, what did you just say?”

“yes?”

“I think I said something quite disturbing to hear here.”

It’s literally straightforward. It seemed like he didn’t even want to exchange formal greetings.

Zhuge Xiaoying clapped his hands.

“ah! I guess I had a free mouth. “I’m sorry. I stopped without realizing it.”

“Please apologize.”

A clear look of displeasure appeared on Namgungryong’s face.

Zhuge Xiaoying lowered his head as if there was no problem at all.

“Of course I have to apologize. sorry. I sincerely apologize. However, the reason I said I was pro-Madou sect was….”

“Do you know who does that because of something like that?”

“yes?”

At this time, even Zhuge Xiaoying could not help but wonder.

Namgungryong pointed to the Jang siblings and said.

“It is these people you should apologize to, not us. “Please apologize right away.”

Are you asking me to apologize to Jang’s siblings?

Zhuge Xiaoying was a little embarrassed. No, it wasn’t just her, most of the people who saw this were the same.

“Are you talking about these people?”

“exactly.”

“…?”

“The word noble should not be used so carelessly. “Please apologize.”

Interest appeared on Zhuge Xiaoying’s face.

“So does Namgung Sohyeop’s words mean that I have to apologize to these people?”

“exactly.”

“Just because of the word noble?”

“At best?”

Namgungryong’s eyes softened.

The look in his eyes was so cold that it changed the air for an instant. Zhuge Xiaoying was shocked.

“You implicitly insulted these siblings without having anything to show for it. Even if you have something to show, don’t you think it’s too rude to someone you don’t even know?”

“….”

“If you were truly born and raised in a righteous martial family, you would not know how problematic those words are. “I won’t talk any longer, so please apologize.”

It was a remark that immediately turned Zhuge Xiaoying into a rude person.

Of course, there was nothing wrong with what Namgungryong said. Whether it was intentional or not, Zhuge Xiaoying’s mistake was obvious. She had to apologize.

The problem was that she was the daughter of the Zhuge family.

“That’s amazing. It is impossible for Namgung Sohyeop to take someone else’s side. “And that’s for the children of an unknown sect.”

“Whether your name is mentioned or not, there is definitely a problem with your words.”

“Oh, what’s wrong with my words?”

“Where did you hear what I just said?”

Zhuge Xiaoying said with a smile.

“They’re noble… that might not be referring to these people, right?”

Namgungryong frowned.

“It was a family that was not only skilled in literature and martial arts, but also good at wordplay.”

For a moment, Zhuge Xiaoying’s face hardened.

“What did you say just now?”

“Are you deaf? “I said it was a family that was good at puns.”

“…Namgung Sohyeop. If you insulted the Zhuge family, you can never overlook it…”

“Didn’t I mention the Zhuge family? Why do you think it pointed to your family?”

Zhuge Xiaoying’s eyes trembled.

It was like giving something in return and receiving it in words. I made a pointless joke and ended up not being able to say anything even though my family was insulted.

Namgungryong straightened his expression.

“Okay. Let’s leave the puns aside. Make it clear that you will admit your mistake and apologize. “I believe he is someone who knows the bare minimum.”

A faint smile appeared on Namgunghwa’s face.

Didn’t my younger brother, who was so reckless and full of blood, grow up to be so dependable? It’s still a bit rough and sharp, but I felt like I had grown up in the right way.

Of course, it is a clear problem to rush forward without thinking back.

Zhuge Xiaoying took a moment to catch his breath.

‘Let’s not panic.’

The reason she touched the Namgung siblings was simply out of jealousy.

She was beautiful. But Namgung-hwa was more beautiful than her and had more elegance than anyone else. This was the reason why the young people who had been watching him could not take their eyes off Namgoong Hwa.

It made her move. It was a bit mischievous, but I had no idea the problem would grow this big.

Suddenly she looked around.

Quite a few people were watching him. There were a variety of looks, including those who were interested, those who were uncomfortable, and those who were sad.

Zhuge Xiaoying’s eyes trembled slightly.

Something stirred inside me.

“Let me be clear, I would never….”

That was then.

“I will apologize on your behalf.”

It seemed like he had managed to witness this commotion even from afar. Zhugegun quickly approached and bowed his head.

“My younger brother was immature and caused unnecessary trouble. “As your brother, I will apologize on your behalf, so please let go of your anger.”

“My younger brother admits that his words were very harsh.”

Namgunghwa came forward and bowed his head.

“Because I still lack discipline, I tend to make small things big. “I will apologize for that.”

Zhugegun’s apology and Namgunghwa’s apology were very different.

They each say they will apologize on behalf of their younger brother for his mistake, but the level is different. Zhugegun seemed to be trying to cover up the problem, and Namgunghwa seemed to genuinely think that her younger brother had done something wrong.

Zhugegun sighed.

“Okay then, this problem is over….”

“Yes, we should finish this. So, Zhuge Xiaoze, please quickly apologize to those two people.”

The faces of the Zhuge siblings hardened.

“Look here, Namgung Sojeo.”

“Please speak.”

“We can end this problem by apologizing between us…”

“It would be okay if we ended our problem like this. But these people definitely deserve an apology.”

Namgunghwa looked at the Jang siblings.

The faces of the Jang siblings were surprisingly calm. But it wasn’t because I wasn’t hurt. It was just that I was able to maintain my facial expression because I had become numb after experiencing this problem countless times.

“Jang Sohyeop. “Isn’t it true that my brother and sister went too far?”

“yes?”

“….”

“Ah, you mean that part.”

Jang Cheonsu said bitterly.

“it’s okay. “I don’t want to escalate the incident by accepting an apology.”

It’s clear that I feel uncomfortable, but let’s leave it as is.

Namgunghwa’s calm face was filled with subtle dignity.

“You can’t do that.”

“yes?”

“As someone who does not have a very close relationship with Jang Sohyeop, I wonder if I can say this, but I dare to tell you this.”

“…?”

“You can’t get used to insults.”

“…!”

“I know him as someone who says what is right is right and what is wrong is wrong. No, I know him as someone who shows through actions rather than words. But why do you want to just bury an insult you received for no reason? Is it because it’s your problem?”

“I just…”

“The character and personality that Jang So-hyeop has learned and built so far are not something that can be ignored. “I think people who overestimate their own worth are problematic, but people who underestimate their own value are also problematic.”

There was a strange power in her voice.

It was not because she was beautiful in appearance or because her achievements were outstanding.

This was because her words and actions had a more dignified character than anyone else.

“It was not a matter for a third party to step forward. You two have probably been through experiences we can’t even imagine. “Maybe what I’m saying is just a childish remark from someone who hasn’t experienced it.”

Namgunghwa’s eyes lit up.

“but.”

It seems as if fire is spewing out from a pair of eye lights.

“Still, I don’t think we should ever hold our breath in the face of injustice.”

After hearing her voice, the reviewers instantly felt a chill running down their spines.

It’s a bit childish, quite idealistic, and even feels like nonsense.

But that is the right way.

The right path, the path that protects morality. The reason why a political sect was never destroyed in the thousands of years of martial arts history was not because of high-level martial arts skills, but because of such a mindset.

The voice of Namgoonghwa silenced the Jegal siblings, the Jang siblings, and everyone else watching.

The strange silence was broken by one person.

“It was a great speech. “It tickles a little, though.”

Everyone’s eyes turned to the back where the voice came from.

Pengyeol was walking behind him.

“But wouldn’t it be too much to ask the Zhuge siblings to apologize? “There are a lot of people watching.”

Namgunghwa’s eyes became sharp.

“We’re not people who are so petty that they can’t apologize as they should just because someone is watching.”

It was a horse with a bone.

The Zhuge siblings’ faces turned red. If you don’t apologize right away, you’ll end up looking like a really petty person.

Peng Yeol shook his head.

“What Sojeo said also makes sense. “But we are the descendants of the five generations.”

“Is that any problem?”

“Don’t you know? The Five Great Families are the pillars that have supported the political faction for over hundreds of years. Our apples themselves carry a weight that goes beyond imagination. “It’s a position where you shouldn’t carelessly lower your head.”

Namgunghwa sighed.

“Do you think you are special?”

Pengyeol grinned.

“How can you live in the harsh martial arts world without that level of confidence?”

“If you are special, everyone else is equally special.”

“That is just a rumor. “Isn’t it only skill that proves its specialness?”

“Isn’t that special thing created by your family, not you?”

“Is there any difference? Bloodline is more than talent. “You can’t ignore the talent you have.”

Namgungryong, who was quietly listening, chuckled.

“Those great people who are descendants of the five great families only polished their mouths without cultivating their hearts.”

In an instant, the atmosphere around the area became cold.

Peng Yeol’s face also became cold.

“What did you say just now?”

“There are a lot of people with dark ears.”

“…cheeky.”

He seemed ready to pull out his sword at any moment.

But Pengyeol didn’t do that. Instead, a thorough sneer was drawn on that clearly defined face.

“Now that I think about it, there’s nothing wrong with what my little brother Zhuge said.”

Namgungryong frowned.

“what?”

“The rumor that the Namgung family supports the Demonic Cult is spreading throughout the central plains. “It’s a family that looks after demons who are known for being vicious, so it’s natural for such remarks to be made.”

There was silence once again.

Namgunghwa said calmly.

“Do you think the Demonic Cult is such an easy group that they need someone to look after their backs?”

“You don’t know that. “The important thing is that the Namgung family has a close relationship with the Demonic Church.”

“No, what Pang Sohyeop said was wrong.”

“Are you going to say no?”

“We just respect people who are decent people. At least the Mine we met was respectable. However, for a lascivious simpleton who has only prejudiced opinions about the subject who has never seen Mine in person… I don’t know? “I don’t really feel like respecting you.”

In an instant, Peng Yeol’s face turned red.

Anyone who heard him said he was a lewd fool was always referring to him.

“These beautiful kites talk carelessly!”

Namgunghwa’s face became cold.

“In the meantime, I’m glad. “I think it has more dignity than your snout.”

“You bitch!”

Anger towards each other rapidly increases.

Late-term indices retreated little by little. This is because the gently spreading energy waves of the two masters created a threatening atmosphere.

Pengyeol gritted his teeth.

“Today, I will hold you guilty for your sins and let the world know about Namgung’s shamelessness.”

“It’s a shame. I think we could have been good friends if you weren’t such a lecherous idiot. “How do you know my heart so well?”

Chaaaaang!

There were no more provocations. Peng Yeol pulled out his golden sword.

A sudden moment.

Hehehe!!

A loud roar was heard that shook the heavens and earth in all directions.
