Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 669
The time when the sun gradually sets.
I stood in the middle of a quiet forest and glared at the person in front of me.
The Gu family’s unique sharp eyes and long black hair.
There are even red eyes that indicate heat.
I had to brace myself for the unfamiliar appearance.
The woman nods her head and says to me.
“Brother?”
I had to wrinkle my nose at the name I hadn’t heard in a long time.
“…sister.”
As I spit out the words, not only my nose but also my frown wrinkles.
The woman’s identity was none other than Koo Hee-bi.
Geombong (劍鳳) Gu Hee-bi.
This means that she is the eldest daughter of the Gu family and my sister.
and.
I saw the Cheonma sticking its head out, clinging to Gu Hee-bi’s back.
What should I say about this shitty situation?
It’s a mess.
For me, there was nothing I could think of other than this word.
“Little brother, it’s been a while?”
Koo Hee-bi smiled and greeted me on that day.
I couldn’t bear to laugh.
Grumbling.
The sacred spear he was holding in his hand was retrieved the moment he saw Gu Hee-bi.
That energy naturally returned to my heart.
My mood is still low.
I spread it out around me like a sharp awl and take a deep breath.
As I was surveying the situation with energy, the Heavenly Demon stuck its head out and pointed at me with its finger.
“sister.”
“hmm?”
“He followed me.”
Koo Hee-bi tilts her head at the words spoken with great caution.
At the same time, I had to widen my eyes and glare at the Heavenly Demon.
‘…What did you just say?’
What did that Heavenly Demon say to Gu Hee-bi?
By any chance, did you say sister?
‘What kind of crazy talk is this?’
I don’t know how things are going.
but.
“No, Yuna…”
“Hey.”
“…!”
Googgeukgeuk-!
Energy was expressed from all over the body.
As I completely opened my heart, the energy that had permeated deep inside was awakened.
Koo Hee-bi widens her eyes and stiffens at the sudden release of energy.
“Get out of there.”
“…”
As he spoke with enthusiasm, the Heavenly Demon’s expression crumpled.
“Come out.”
“no.”
“no?”
Giiiing-!
Life seeps into the speculation that comes out.
The fear and anxiety I felt just before disappears.
kill.
Kill it and get that thing away from Gu Hee-bi.
That thought was the only thing in my head right now.
“Then search around.”
I had to kill it and get rid of it anyway.
If I was going to clean it up someday, it wouldn’t be too late.
The anxiety that I might not be able to win has long since disappeared.
kill.
So I decided and held out my hand.
Wow!
The energy emanating from my heart seeps into my arms. It is tightly bound and a strong force is formed.
He took it as a friend and held it out to Cheonma.
The fingertips touch.
If you do, I will grab your head and rip it off.
While thinking that, I stretched out my wrist.
Wow.
Gu Hee-bi grabbed it without thinking.
“Brother.”
I shifted my gaze to the cold voice. Koo Hee-bi’s red eyes are clearly burning.
Although the eyes are filled with heat and shine, the emotions inside are somehow cold.
“What are you trying to do now?”
“…”
Cheeeeeeeek.
I frowned at the heat I felt on my wrist.
Then he looked at Gu Hee-bi.
“…sister.”
“okay.”
“Is it Hwagyeong?”
“…”
Goo Hee-bi’s expression is filled with surprise at the words she blurts out.
This was the same for me too.
‘…How did you get up there?’
Gu Hee-bi reached the flower garden.
I was convinced by the heat I just felt and the energy I felt through contact.
This means that a father’s daughter like me is on the verge of death.
How did you really get there?
The life I had just felt seems to have disappeared and questions arise.
‘Is this suddenly possible?’
Geombong (劍鳳) Gu Hee-bi.
Koo Hee-bi was called the best late Jisoo ever since she was a late Jisoo and showed off her overwhelming talent.
Although she has a pretty appearance, resembling Madam Mi, she is also famous for her extremely dirty temper.
It’s dirty and dirty.
Since she was a heroine who used a sword, she was given the normal nickname “Geombong,” but later on, she was given a nickname meaning “crazy light year.”
Crazy light years. Does that mean she’s a crazy crazy woman?
‘I’ll tell you two things about how dirty it is that you’re crazy.’
Gu Hee-bi’s temperament was especially dirty even in the Gu family.
‘It’s so bad that a good guy like me wouldn’t even dare to endure it.’
anyway.
No matter how true Goo Hee-bi’s rumor was, in the end, there was only one thing that followed.
‘…a talent that allows one to endure such a temperament.’
The sword dragon Yeongpung, who is said to be the best in Hwasan.
Leaving behind Jamryong Woohyuk, who was said to be the best shaman, it was Koo Hee-bi who was called the most late Jisoo.
A small family in Shanxi that used to be called a famous family but has now lost its power.
There, many people questioned how the son of a nobleman who stayed in the rearguard of a hundred great masters had such talent.
‘…What are you wondering? He was just a fucking genius.’
Sometimes, even a tiger is born into a dragon. Isn’t this something you don’t know about the world?
‘How can a dog be born from a tiger?’
Of course, the dog was me.
As I was blaming myself like that, it suddenly occurred to me.
‘No, a dragon was born from a dragon?’
From the perspective of having seen her father’s power at first glance, Koo Hee-bi’s talent is not that great.
He just looks a lot like his father.
Because it was enough to express it that way.
Yes, Gu Hee-bi was in exactly that position.
A monstrous woman who stole her father’s talent.
Given his position, it would not be difficult to call him a genius.
‘Still, it’s strange to go up to Hwagyeong.’
The current state was strange, but too strange.
‘Where did this happen?’
It’s not that I don’t believe in Koo Hee-bi’s talent.
It simply meant that it was excessive.
‘…It’s true that there are a lot of flowers around.’
Not only Nam Gung Bi and Wei Seol Ah, but also Tang So Yeol and Woo Hyuk.
Although I know that unlike my previous life, I am experiencing rapid growth.
‘That’s because of my involvement.’
The only one who seems to have properly intervened is the party affiliation, but it is true that my flapping of wings had an impact.
but.
‘I didn’t do much to Gu Hee-bi.’
In such a situation, Goo Hee-bi reached Hwa-gyeong. Although it is said to be a talent that can be achieved someday, the speed feels strangely fast.
‘Is this also because of me?’
or not.
‘Is it because of that?’
I see the Heavenly Demon glaring at me. Did it do something to Gu Hee-bi?
No, why are these two together in the first place? Since
my doubts are piling up
, I am trying to use my strength to solve them.
“Brother. stop.”
Koo Hee-bi was blocking that day.
“Yeon, you too, stop.”
Cheonma frowns at Gu Hee-bi’s words. I could see that a small energy was swirling around her hands as well.
The Heavenly Demon tried to fight me.
but.
“Yuna. “That’s what my sister said.”
“…”
“stop.”
As Gu Hee-bi spoke in a fierce voice, Cheonma’s face scrunched up and she finally recovered the energy she had been holding.
I couldn’t easily react to that crazy situation.
The Heavenly Demon is listening to someone. How could that appearance be so foreign?
As I was looking at this with bewildered eyes, Goo Hee-bi sighed softly and said.
“First of all, I need to move. Here…”
“Sister, do you know what that is and are taking it with you?”
“…”
“Why don’t you know what it is?”
“Follow me.”
Koo Hee-bi cut me off.
“I’ll go and explain. For now, just follow me.”
Gu Hee-bi spat out words and turned her back. Cheonma glares at me and walks after Gu Huibi.
“…under.”
I quietly watched that scene and suppressed my emotions.
I looked at the backs of Cheonma and Goo Hee-bi.
He looked at me like he was glaring, biting his lip, and finally took a step forward and chased after the two people.
Meanwhile, my eyes were only looking at the back of the Heavenly Demon.
********************
I walked after the two.
It wasn’t a very long walk, but as we continued walking, the sun had already set.
Just as I was wondering how far I would walk, I was finally able to reach my destination.
In a forest outside the city center.
There was a small cabin built on a hill that would not have been deserted for a long time.
Are you sure you live there?
As soon as such doubts arise, Koo Hee-bi goes in there.
“Come in.”
“…”
As soon as the words came out, Cheonma quickly entered the cabin.
It was an all too familiar behavior.
In a very dark room, Goo Hee-bi waves her hands inside.
Hwareuk-!
A flame blooms on an extinguished lamp. A somewhat messy room appears.
Seeing this, the Heavenly Demon tilted his head.
“Sister, I’m cleaning today.”
“…greatness.”
Gu Hee-bi clears her throat at the criticism.
“…I forgot because I had some work to do today.”
“huh.”
“Really.”
“huh.”
Cheonma nods his head expressionlessly at Gu Hee-bi’s excuse.
I kept silent while watching this.
Just when it seemed like my patience would reach its limit.
“Yeon, do you want to go out for a walk and come back?”
Gu Hee-bi spoke to Cheonma.
“huh.”
This time too, the Heavenly Demon just listened without saying anything other than answering.
I turn around and make eye contact with the Heavenly Demon.
Immediately after, he brushes my shoulder.
I had to feel my hands getting stiff.
Squeak.
thud.
The door slowly closes and the presence of the Heavenly Demon disappears.
Only then did Gu Hee-bi slowly sit down on the floor.
“There is no such thing as a car. Do you need it?”
“What if I say it’s necessary?”
“I have to send you on an errand. “I told him to do it a few times and he was good at it.”
“…”
I knew who he was talking about without even asking.
Are you saying that you are going to order the Heavenly Demon to run an errand for you?
“it’s okay.”
I sighed and refused.
There was no need for a car in the first place.
“Please explain first.”
“It’s been a while since we’ve seen each other, but you haven’t even said hello? “This sister is sad.”
“I’m not in the mood to play around.”
He said this while frowning, and Koo Hee-bi burst out laughing.
I didn’t like that smile.
“Explain what happened. “Why is your sister taking that with you?”
I only half believed what Mo Yong-hee-ah said.
Because I thought it couldn’t possibly be like that.
However, looking at this, I could see that the statement was true. Gu Hee-bi really had the Heavenly Demon with her. How on earth did this happen?
Gu Hee-bi’s smile turns bitter at my question.
“That’s it, little brother. “It’s a bit of a bad title to call someone, isn’t it?”
“Don’t talk back. It’s obvious that you don’t even know what that is…”
“I don’t know.”
“what?”
My brows furrow at Gu Hee-bi’s words.
Are you saying you know the identity of the Heavenly Demon? How?
When deep anxiety and doubts began to arise.
“We both met at the Dark Night Palace, how could we not know that sight?”
“…”
Hearing Gu Hee-bi’s words made me feel more relieved than relieved.
What she meant was the form of the young Heavenly Demon she had seen in the Dark Night Palace.
At least it means that I don’t know the details.
but.
“You know that and yet you take that with you? “Are you crazy?”
Just by looking at the situation in that fragment, it was clear that the Heavenly Demon was not a normal being.
At least not human. This would have been enough to be certain.
“What are you going to do with something so dangerous next to you?”
“How does my younger brother know if it’s dangerous or not?”
“…her?”
At my words, Koo Hee-bi speaks in a somewhat rough tone, probably because of her temper.
“Is that child dangerous or not? “How can you be sure about your younger brother?”
If I don’t know, who will know?
Only I know what the world doesn’t know.
Heavenly Demon is dangerous. It’s just difficult to prove it.
Because it was something only I knew.
“You can tell just by looking at it.”
“You can’t tell anything just by looking at it. Brother. Especially when it comes to ‘us’, we shouldn’t say things like that. “Don’t you know?”
“…”
Gu Hee-bi’s words make my tongue dry. It wasn’t good.
Not only is his momentum unusual, but his stubbornness cannot be broken.
of course.
“Sister, I clearly told you not to change your mind.”
If you insist like that, I won’t lose.
“What I asked was why are you taking that with you? “If you keep bothering to change the conversation, you’ll end up talking nonsense and I’ll go my own way.”
I am holding on to it now.
Now, it was meaningless to know what Gu Hee-bi was thinking.
There was a purpose before my eyes.
I decided not to avoid it anymore. There is only one thing to do.
“Explain. “Before I wake up.”
When you wake up, it’s over. Let’s say it with that meaning in mind.
“…”
A deep sigh flows from Gu Hee-bi’s mouth.
“What if I wake up…? “Are you going to harm that child?”
There was no answer. Enough said.
Now it was just time to wait for an answer.
“Hmm.”
In response to my reaction, Koo Hee-bi adjusts her fierce eyes and shows a calm demeanor.
Unlike his angry feelings, he looked at her with surprise.
I can’t believe I can be so calm rather than angry here.
Considering that the last time I saw Goo Hee-bi was a few years ago, it was a huge change, like martial arts.
And, something like that.
‘If you say it was created by the Heavenly Demon.’
Moreover, it was something I didn’t like.
“Brother.”
After calmly finishing her thought, Koo Hee-bi looks at me and speaks.
“My younger brother can’t do that.”
The words that followed fill my eyes.
“Are you trying to ignore me now?”
“No, I don’t think anyone else would know. You can’t do that if you’re my younger brother. “This is sincere.”
Gu Hee-bi laughed.
It was a refreshing smile reminiscent of Mrs. Mi.
It just doesn’t make sense.
“Sister, I don’t have enough heart right now to listen to nonsense.”
“The reason I take that child with me. “Because this is a family affair.”
“…!”
Gu Hee-bi’s next words made me pause.
Not only the words I spat but also the energy I brought up.
‘It’s a family affair?’
These words came from the mouth of Gu Hee-bi and no one else.
A family affair.
This means that the reason why Gu Hee-bi is taking Cheonma with her now is because of the Gu family.
“dog sound.”
I spat it out with a feeling of discomfort.
It was an absurd thing to say.
“dog sound? “Now there’s nothing you can’t say to your sister, right?”
“If this isn’t bullshit, what is? sister. Have you really lost your mind?”
Koo Hee-bi would not be stupid enough to bring up family matters.
It’s something I didn’t say even when I was a fool.
To a blood relative, family matters carry an absurd amount of weight.
“How can that be added to the family’s affairs?”
“Because I mean it literally.”
“sister.”
“If you know who ‘sent’ that child to me. “Your brother will know that what I say is true.”
I had to sense a subtle undertone in Gu Hee-bi’s words.
Who sent the Heavenly Demon to Gu Huifei?
‘Could it be that he is a blood relative of the Gu family?’
Is that why Gu Hee-bi calls it the work of Gu Tae-yeo’s family?
‘Who is it?’
I search my mind, but no one comes to mind.
Is there anyone in the Gu family who can be called a family member just because they sent something?
‘No one except your father, right?’
Even if it is said that there are definitely elders and sword masters.
In the end, the head of the family makes most decisions.
If so, is it your father?
‘No, that can’t be happening.’
It was immediately denied. My father can’t do that.
At least he couldn’t have sent something like that to Gu Hee-bi.
So, is it a senior citizen?
If you look at the influence alone, Iljangro may be like that to some extent.
‘On the contrary, if it were Elder Il, he would not have done so.’
Then, what’s left are the other elders…
‘Those gentlemen are worse than nothing.’
The remaining people are the old people in the back room who are holding on because they have the Gu family name.
This means that they are not the ones to interfere in family affairs.
‘No matter how much I think about it.’
At the point where I couldn’t think of anyone, my doubts only deepened.
Gu Hee-bi looks at me and tells me the answer.
“Grandfather.”
“…huh?”
what?
“It was my grandfather who sent me that child.”
A completely unexpected person appeared.
