Dark and Light Martial Emperor - Chapter 560
Episode 560
Disgrace in Paradise (2)
Tak! Crack!
The sound of a burning bonfire had a strange elegance.
The party official personally rummaged through the bonfire. The embers were burning and the bonfire was complaining.
Dangyangseon said with an awkward expression.
“Father, I will do it.”
“It is done.”
“…yes.”
Dangyangseon cleared his throat and sat still.
Since leaving the Murim League and coming here, I have barely talked to my father.
In a way, it was natural. Because my father wasn’t a man of many words to begin with. In my family, my father was the one who spoke no more than three or four words a day unless it was related to martial arts or work.
I can’t tell you how surprised I was to see my father having such a friendly conversation with my sister.
‘It’s my sister.’
Dangyangseon’s eyes deepened.
‘Damn bitch.’
He hated Tang Sang-er.
No, I hated it beyond hating it.
‘If I’m full of energy, I’ll just live with a decent man.’
Tang Sang’er’s status within the Tang family was much greater than expected.
Although he was a martial artist, his personality particularly stood out. Even though she was a direct descendant of the head of the family, she was kind to those from collateral backgrounds and did not ignore their difficulties.
Also, his talent was outstanding. If my father hadn’t stopped Tang Shang’er’s teachings in the middle, he would have broken through the barrier to sectarianism years ago.
Dangyangseon did not acknowledge that fact.
I thought that was a woman’s limit. I believed that even if her father had not intervened, Tang Sang-ah would never have been able to overcome the barrier of no end.
But Dangyangseon also knew in his heart that that was not true.
Even my grandfather was amazed by Tang Sang-ah’s talent. He even praised me, saying that if I practice properly, I will be able to reach my level in the future.
A fact directly proven by the super expert of Seongcheon, who is considered the strongest in the world. No matter how great Dangyangseon’s insight is, can he compare to that of King Danghyeong?
Dangyangseon just didn’t want to admit it. Tang Sang-ah’s talent is much better than his own.
I just didn’t want to hear the people around me saying that if I had been born as a man, I would have been promoted to the head of a small family.
‘Whatever the reason, you won’t be able to set foot in your home.’
The corners of Dangyangseon’s mouth rose slightly.
‘A woman cannot be the head of a Tang family. I am the next head of the party. When I become the head of the family, I will change all the unreasonable and useless family rules of the main family.’
Unreasonable and useless gagyu.
It could not be seen as a judgment for public benefit. Dangyangseon wanted to create a kingdom solely for himself.
And Dangyangseon did not acknowledge that fact either.
This is because he believed that this was the way to revive the roots of Tang family, spanning hundreds of years of history.
Then the officer said:
“Yangseon.”
“yes? “Oh yes.”
“Consistent effort alone does not lead to growth.”
“…?”
What are you saying all of a sudden?
Dangyangseon looked at the party hall with puzzled eyes.
The official was still rummaging around the campfire and spoke in a blunt tone.
“You must know what you are lacking. “It’s not just limited to martial arts.”
“…?”
“Excessive overconfidence in oneself, despair over the reality that cannot be changed, insufficient talent, insufficient experience, and of course, one’s own ignorance that leads one to become fanatical about facts that are wrong.”
“….”
“The list would be endless. Even if you know your own shortcomings, you cannot change them all at once. Also, even if you change, you might be able to grow further because of it.”
Crash!
The flame blazed brightly.
The flames obscured Dangyangseon’s view of the hall.
“Nevertheless, it is very important to face my own problems clearly. “Effort without change will have limits to growth, but there is no limit to the growth of those who constantly strive to change.”
Slurp.
Flames split and fluttered in all directions.
The Dang Gwan’s face, revealed in it, seemed to look a little tired for some reason.
“You have to constantly look at yourself. “What am I lacking, what am I looking at incorrectly, is the position I stand in really suitable for me, etc.”
“….”
“If you don’t develop the habit of doubting yourself, you will find yourself going astray at some point. And by the time you find it, it’s already difficult to fix.”
Dangyangseon looked at the party hall in silence.
Tang Gwan, who was watching the bonfire, turned his gaze to Dangyangseon.
“Abby taught you wrong.”
“yes?”
“To be exact, I think they taught it backwards.”
“What… are you talking about?”
“You would think that your original family is the best in Sacheon. “You must be aware that your family’s influence extends beyond Sichuan and shakes the world.”
“of course.”
“It shouldn’t be like that.”
“…?!”
“You shouldn’t think of it as the truth. “It’s something you shouldn’t take for granted.”
“I… I don’t know what your father is talking about…”
“Why is your family home in Sacheonjeil?”
“…?”
“Just because it is called Sacheon First, it is not Sacheon First. There must be a clear reason why the main family is called the best in Sacheon. Have you ever thought deeply about him?”
Dangyangseon was embarrassed.
“The main family… is a prestigious family with hundreds of years of history. The power and reputation of the main family reached the world. “No power in the world dares to go against the main family.”
“Wrong. “There are many people who look down on their original family and many people who think of their original family as nothing special.”
“…?!”
“But that’s not important now. I asked you why your hometown is Sacheonjeil, but you couldn’t give me a good reason. “I’m just saying that because it’s called that, because the world is afraid of us, because we have a history.”
“Ah, father.”
“That’s what we call backwards learning.”
Tang Gwan’s eyes deepened.
At that moment, Dangyangseon felt a chill running down her back.
My father’s eyes, shining in the bonfire, were burning beautifully. There was anger, sadness, and sympathy in it.
“It is a world where it is not easy to become the best in one field. However, the main family is a family that has seen the end of both fields.”
“….”
“I couldn’t become the best with the sword, spear, or martial arts. So I turned to memorization and poison.”
“…father?”
“The martial arts faction despised memorization and poison, calling them cowardly, but our ancestors ignored their gaze and cold treatment. “I believed that if we could become the best at some point and reach the pinnacle of both fields, then the way the world would view us would change.”
Phew.
The wind blew.
The bonfire danced with the wind.
“And we became masters of poison and memorization. “By handling poison, medicine naturally developed, and by manufacturing metal weapons, the ironsmithing industry naturally developed as well.”
“….”
“When everyone was stuck in the same place, buried in common sense and the opinions of others, we took on challenges in other fields centered on change and innovation and waved the flag of victory.”
“….”
“Do you understand? “The reason why the main family is renowned as the best in Sacheon is not because it is strong, has a lot of money, or has great influence.”
The official raised his index finger and pointed to the sky.
“There was no family under the Sichuan sky that was as despised and oppressed as the original family. “It is no exaggeration to say that the will of one family that passed down generations changed the perception of the world, as it overcame the history of shame and finally reached the peak.”
Dangyangxian felt goosebumps rising all over his body.
The pride his father said in those words made him shiver.
“So the main family is the best in Sacheon. So the people of the original family can be proud. That’s why you shouldn’t be defeated, and that’s why you should value your blood relatives.”
“…!”
“If there is someone who brings tears to the eyes of someone from the family, you must make them shed tears of blood. If there is someone who killed someone from your family, you must get revenge by uprooting him and his roots. “That was our way of survival and the pride of our family.”
“….”
“What about you?”
“yes?”
Is it because of my mood? Or is it because of the light from the bonfire?
Dangyangseon somehow felt that his father’s eyes seemed colder than before.
“Do you realize deep in your bones the pride of your family and the greatness of your family?”
“Of course!”
“Is it clear?”
“That’s right! I have no doubt that my family home is the best in the world. I am sure that at some point, all the martial arts people in the world will kneel at our feet!”
“okay?”
“That’s right.”
The official lifted his chin slightly.
“I have clearly shown you that the study of the original family can discuss the world.”
“yes!”
“The study of the main family is the culmination of the soul of the blood relatives’ efforts and sacrifices. If you are a member of the Tang family, you should respect the martial arts of your family and work hard to see it to the end.”
“I think so too…”
“But what is your useless martial arts skill?”
“yes?”
Wooooow.
The pupil of the hotel turned dark green.
“I asked what the greedy martial arts that is still bubbling in your stomach is.”
In an instant, Dangyangseon’s face turned pale.
The official covered the bonfire with his hands.
hook!
The bonfire, which had been burning vigorously, went out in an instant.
The world became dark. The wind became cold.
“I understand.”
If voices had color, our office’s voice would be like ink.
“Yes, that too can be freedom. There is no difference in the depth of concern whether the son of the head of the family or the child of collateral. It’s just that the direction of concern is different. “If you had wanted to learn a martial arts other than your family’s martial arts, I would have been sad and angry, but I would have found another way.”
“Oh father! That is…!”
“As a parent, I have taught my children wrongly. How can we say that only the children are to blame? Parents are the ones who must catch their children when they stray. In that respect, I was neglectful of my children.”
Slurp.
The official stood up.
It seemed as if someone darker than the darkness had risen.
“I would definitely have given permission if you really wanted it.”
“father! “For now, let me tell you…!”
“Choice means giving up. In order to make your will come true, you must give up your position. If you wanted a different kind of martial arts education that much, I would have respected you. But…”
Flash!
A dark green glow burst out from Tang Guan’s body.
The dark world became bright again. But the brightness was different from that of a bonfire.
A light darker than darkness.
The glow of a dark sky that seems to sink into endless darkness even though it brightly illuminates the surroundings.
“I’m just sorry.”
“…!!”
“I taught you wrongly. However, no matter how wrongly I taught you, it is clearly your fault for engaging in such promiscuous and evil martial arts.”
At that moment, Dangyangseon turned and ran away without realizing it.
Wow!
The Danyang Line quickly moves away from the hotel.
It was instinct. Under the terrifying aura emanating from the temple, Tang Yangshen could do nothing but run away.
but.
Phew!
Dangyangseon’s body suddenly stopped.
Fuuuuuuu!
With an explosion, his body flew backwards. An enormous force surged from the hands of the party official.
Wow!
“Tsk!”
The official grabbed Dangyangseon by the collar.
Dangyangseon’s face turned white.
“father!”
“Yes, I am your father.”
Flash!
Tang Gwan’s face, which was stained dark green from the pupils to the whites of his eyes, was no different from that of a devil.
“Now forgive your father for acting like a parent.”
