Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 679

“Are you okay…?”

This is what Nahi asked me while I was walking down the street right after Beomdong disappeared with the Biryongdae.
I glanced at Nahi and asked.

“what?”

When I look up and ask, Nahi bows her head and answers.

“I’m worried that it’s so easy to let go of the Great Drake…”

“Why. “Do you think a threat like that would be meaningless?”

“…”

I smiled when I saw Nahi like that.

There is no answer to my words.
It means positivity.

I understand Nahi’s concerns.

‘I guess you don’t understand why I only used this when there is a better way.’

At best, all he did to Beom-dong was a threat to his family.

It was not banned nor corrupted by demons.

‘I could have done it, but I didn’t.’

Since the magic had already been put in, it could be crushed at any time.
Around this time, he could have bet as much as he wanted, but he didn’t.

Because there was a reason for that.

“You don’t have to worry. “Because I have something in mind.”

“Haona. Then, if Daeju reveals what happened….”

“That won’t happen.”

They say they captured their daughter.
That would be enough for Beomdong.

‘My daughter is a very caring person.’

I heard in a past life that he had children.

This is a fact that Beomdong learned when he defected to Main, and when it became known that he had hidden his child in Hubei, Paengga stepped forward and took Beomdong hostage.

I wondered if I should care about my children since I had become a Mine.

Surprisingly, Beomdong headed to Paengga alone as soon as the news spread. As a result, Beomdong was killed by Paengga.

Even though he was a Majin, he headed to Hubei alone for his daughter, so it was clear that he had special feelings for his relatives.

‘Even if that’s not the case.’

That also doesn’t matter.

“There is a way to use it anyway. Just pay attention to what you’re told.”

“…All right.”

Nahi said that and lowered her head. I looked at Nahi and asked.

“What did he do?”

When I mention the crazy bitch who destroyed the flying dragon just before, Nahi gives a cautious answer.

“As you ordered, I tied you up and gagged you in the corner of the room.”

“good job. Take a good look. “I’ll probably wake up within two o’clock.”

Then he’ll go crazy again.
Just thinking about it gave me a headache.

‘I tried not to call you if possible.’

Since he wasn’t a very good person, I tried not to use him as much as possible.
I couldn’t help it because he was the only one who was perfect for what I had planned.

“As soon as the prostitute opens his eyes, report it immediately.”

“yes.”

“Have you had any contact with Ji-seon?”

“There were reports that it had departed.”

“Then I’ll be back in a few days.”

I thought it would be easier to handle things if I arrived within five days at least.

“Then, let’s take a look at the Lord of Cheonra. “Just summarize what’s happening on your side and send it to me by tomorrow.”

“I follow your orders.”

After speaking, Nahi bowed and disappeared.

“Hmm.”

After sending Nahi away, I looked around.
The time is from early morning to noon.
Something crazy has been happening since morning and I’m getting irritated.

‘I think it’s past time to eat.’

From this point on, I had to worry a bit.

The time we were supposed to eat together had already passed.
Since I had already sent word to Beomdong that something had happened, they must have eaten it first.

‘But it’s also a bit difficult to go for training.’

There was something important to do today to start the afternoon training.

Since time is running out, it would be right to finish it and go.

“…Tsk.”

Immediately after organizing my plan, I clicked my tongue briefly.
I know it’s an unavoidable situation, but I never thought I’d lose my time like this to a guy like Beom-dong.

‘I guess I’ll just go do some work.’

With that in mind, I took my first step.

******************

The place I walked straight to was Baekhwasangdan.
It was also a superior room located on the highest floor.

“You’re here.”

“yes.”

When I enter the room, I see Mrs. Mi.

As always, Mrs. Mi was looking at the books filled with books on the table.
Among the crowded bookshelf, one flower caught my eye.

It seemed like it was a flower I had given as a gift before heading to the North Sea.

‘It hasn’t wilted yet?’

The lifespan of a flower may not be very long, but it is amazing that it remains so vivid.

Sarah.

The sound of Mrs. Mi flipping pages fills the room.
That appearance reminded me of Mo Yong-hee, whom I saw the other day.

They say they learned to work under Mrs. Mi, but are they starting to resemble her more and more?

‘Should I say that’s good or bad?’

It feels somewhat subtle.
At that time, I was looking at Mrs. Mi with a strange expression.

“I heard something happened.”

“…”

I had to smile shyly at Mrs. Mi’s words.

this.

‘You already heard it.’

He is probably referring to the anecdote about Beom-dong coming to visit in the morning.
He came right after finishing that, but I never thought Madam Mi would already know about this.

“…It wasn’t a big deal.”

As I spoke awkwardly, Mrs. Mi’s gaze, which had been looking at the letter, turned to me.

“The Great Lord of Meng came to visit you, you said it was no big deal?”

I swallowed my dry saliva at the somewhat harsh gaze.
Even as my level increased, my father’s gaze and Mrs. Mi’s eyes were strangely difficult to handle.

“I know that the blind side is watching the top. “The reason I was looking for you, not me… was it because of the conflict I had with the branch manager last time?”

“…”

My eyes widened slightly at Mrs. Mi’s words.
Did you even know that?

“No, well… it was resolved well.”

I couldn’t bear to say no, so I said it out loud.

‘I’m not lying, so it’s okay, right? It’s true that it was resolved.’

At my words, Mrs. Mi quietly looks into my eyes.

I wanted to avoid the gaze because it was burdensome, but I forced myself to hold back.
A moment of silence passes by like that.

“Can I clean it up for you?”

“…yes?”

I had to give a dumb answer to what Mrs. Mi secretly said.

Can I clean it up for you?

“What do you mean?”

“If you wish, please tell me.”

“No…”

As I try to speak, I keep stopping.
Because I thought I knew what Mrs. Mi was talking about cleaning up.

‘If you ask me to clean it up, I can clean it up for you.’

I know that Mrs. Mi meant that she would clean up the Biryongdae.

No matter how Baekhwa Sangdan is said to be one of the best in the central plains, I wonder if it would be able to remove one of Maeng’s sword belts…

Even without that.

“it’s okay. “You can handle it yourself.”

Even if that was possible, I had no intention of getting Mrs. Mi’s help.

Take care of it.
Since we decided to do it in the first place, this is also the same.

After hearing my answer, Mrs. Mi nodded slightly.

“i get it.”

The attitude is not to ask twice.
And then he immediately withdraws his gaze and looks only at the book. As expected, it felt like a knife.

It didn’t really matter to me as this wasn’t the main point of finding Mrs. Mi.

“I want to ask you something.”

“What do you want to say?”

“What happened to the head of the family?”

Stop.

In response to my question, Mrs. Mi stops looking at the letter and looks at me again.

“I understand they sent you a separate letter.”
“Yes, I did, but…”

Mrs. Mi did hand me a letter containing my father’s message.

‘Something is bothering me.’

For some reason, it was annoying.
Even though it was clearly written in my father’s handwriting and tone of voice.

“I was wondering if something had happened.”

“…”

Upon hearing the question, Mrs. Mi’s gaze slightly changes.
You can see that concern is reflected in his eyes.

That alone was enough to tell that something had happened.
So I’m waiting for an answer.

“I thought about it, but. “I can’t tell you yet.”

A disappointing answer came from Mrs. Mi’s mouth.
It was at a time when I felt like I had to satisfy my appetite with a feeling of regret.

“Because you have not yet inherited the Sega’s legacy. “It’s something that can’t be helped.”

“…!”

My eyes immediately cool down at the words I heard next.

“All right.”

He quickly turned his head as he took in the ending.
This is because I was able to get a lot of information from Mrs. Mi’s words just now.

‘You can’t tell me yet.’

Sega’s business, to be exact.
This meant that I, who had not taken over Sogaju’s position, could not say anything.

That means soon.

‘It means that Sogaju can hear. That much happened to my father.’

Also, since she was in a position where she couldn’t say it carelessly, Mrs. Mi must have said it out loud.

Mrs. Mi would never have made such a slip of the tongue, so it is correct that she passed on the information to me on purpose.

“…thank you.”

I took a bow from Mrs. Mi. Mrs. Mi also nodded her head lightly in response.
It meant that my thoughts were right.

‘…Well, it looks like something happened to my father.’

I understand that the family affair is being delayed in coming to light.

‘This is ambiguous.’

It’s difficult to find out what’s going on.
It was difficult to intervene. As Mrs. Mi said, I haven’t succeeded in my job yet.

‘For now, it just means I have to wait.’

In this case, I thought it would be better to just go see Goo Hee-bi.

‘I also have to ask about my grandfather.’

Also, you can’t have people watch over the Heavenly Demon forever.

‘…They said they noticed it right away. ‘I guess I should go.’

It was said that Cheonma noticed those who were already stationed around him.
They say that because of that, they are unable to take a deep approach.

‘Tsk.’

Anyway, things are not going smoothly.
My life is like that.

I felt uneasy and spoke to Mrs. Mi.

“The important business is over, so let’s go first.”

“Where are you planning to go now?”

This is something I heard in the car as I was about to leave after saying yes.

“I think I’ll probably head towards Maeng.”

“It’s the Murim League….”

Mrs. Mi added after hearing the destination.

“If you do that, it looks like you’re planning to go today.”

I scratched my cheek after hearing Mrs. Mi’s words.
It seems like he heard the destination and even figured out the reason why he was heading there.

It’s really difficult to talk. This is why smart people are uncomfortable.
In particular, smart people who couldn’t be hit were the most difficult.

“…I think it will be a hassle if I go there in a few days because there will be a lot of people.”

“Okay, I hope you have a nice trip.”

“…yes.”

After answering, I went out the door.
Now I had to go quickly.

Since the business is over, I move on straight away.
I left the top and moved towards the Murim Alliance.

As for the reason for heading there, Mrs. Mi’s prediction was probably correct.
‘Time is running out.’

An unusually crowded prefecture.
The road leading to Maeng was crowded with a lot more people than usual.

The reason why so many people gathered was no different.

This was because there were less than ten days left until the Non-Music Festival, and today was the day when applications for non-Music Competitions could be made.

Thanks to this, there were more warriors than usual.
There were a lot of people who came to see these warriors.

even.

‘It’ll probably explode even more in five days.’

It was only the first day, so it would be much worse in five days.
That was also the last day to apply…and besides.

‘All the famous families and famous people will come that day.’

It was also a time when all the greatest warriors gathered together.

It would be very convenient to come and finish on the first day, but famous and prestigious people will definitely want to come on the last day.

That’s the reason.

‘Because they’ll think it’s out of character to come from the first day.’

Did you say that the main character appears last?
Those people will try to come late because they lose standing and respect.

I don’t want to go on the first day because I’m afraid it will be seen that I’ve been waiting for this guy.
The middle is ambiguous, and everyone else gathers on the last day to show off their majesty, so they can’t be left out.

So, they obviously do that too.

‘It’s his politics and his reputation… tsk.’

How can I live so tired?
I guess I could just live roughly.

‘I’m glad I passed by comfortably thanks to you.’

Considering that it would be crowded with people, it would have been better to finish it quickly while those people were doing it.
That’s why I took the time to come here from the first day.

As I walked slowly through the crowd, I finally arrived at my destination.
You can’t enter the Murim Alliance’s headquarters. Only the entrance in front of it was open.

Normally, they wouldn’t open that one either, but since they had to receive an application form, they only opened it today.

“Please stand in line!”

As soon as you enter, you hear a sound.

The martial arts fighters of the Murim Alliance were struggling to keep themselves aligned against the crowd, and the whispering sounds of fighters from other affiliations could be heard inside.

“…Well, the author seems to be a born martial arts sword, doesn’t he?”

“what!? “Isn’t he a young expert who is famous in the midfield these days?”

It was my first time hearing this name.

Seoncheon what…?

‘The nickname is really dirty.’

Do you write more than five letters that are difficult to memorize?

“No, how did a charlatan who only works by request come here?”

“You probably thought Cheonghae was too small to contain yourself. “It probably means making my name known more widely.”

“I see… It’s an innate matte sword after all. I heard that Lee Rip is well past his peak age…”

“What…!? “If that’s true… it would be truly amazing.”

I don’t think they’re saying anything, but they’re not making a fuss by playing drums and playing drums among themselves.
This is why I hate crowded places.

“Um, the man! Could it be that the hawkish sword that dominates Sichuan!?”

“Look, next to it is a windmill wreath!”

Every time I walk, I hear all kinds of special calls coming from all directions.
It seemed like he was a famous martial artist, but I didn’t know that he got a lot of reaction every time he said something.

‘…I thought I’d been listening to a bit about the world these days.’

It was full of people I had never heard of, not only now but also in my past life.
It almost makes me wonder if I wasn’t that interested in martial arts people.

‘Well, they are gathering so many warriors and ranking them.’

The rumors about them being a hundred-year-old singer or a teenage singer were also rumors created because others were interested in them.
Maybe it’s strange that I don’t know.

“And the author…!”

“Next to that!”

I continued to hear startling noises, so I ignored them and moved on.
I can feel the reaction getting hotter.

I need to hurry up and go practice.

‘This will do.’

I found a place with a small line and took a seat.

There are so many people, but there isn’t much of a line.
The reason was simple.
This is because most people are watching and there are far fewer warriors who want to participate.

‘It has to be that way because you can’t apply without a letter of recommendation in the first place.’

Participation in this non-mulling festival was possible only with a letter of recommendation from the blind side.

In other words, it may have to have a name to some extent.

‘That means that famous martial artists recognized by the military will come, so crowds will gather to see them.’

I think it was made really well to attract people.
Anyway, it seemed like the Murim League was good at making things like this.

“next!”

There were several lines, and since it was the first day, people quickly left and it was my turn.
I quickly approached the receptionist and handed her the letter I had in my arms.

The receptionist took the form and opened it with a very tired expression.

“…Gu family…huh?”

After receiving the letter and reading it, my eyes widen.
I frowned when I saw that.

‘Oh, this isn’t good.’

I had a bad feeling about something bad.

“No way, So, So-Yeom.”

just as expected.
Just as the receptionist was about to spit ‘that’ out and make me feel like shit.

“It’s a divine dragon!”

A shout that came from somewhere buried his voice.

“Shinryong? Shinryong? “A Shaolin genius came here?”

People begin to murmur at the sound of shouting.
It was the same for me too.

Shinryong? Is this the guy I know?

‘Dengjung came from the first day, not five days later?’

I thought that Shaolin would definitely come on the last day, but how did it come so quickly?
The gaze filled with such doubts is directed to one side.

“This person is not Shinryong!”

Someone started pointing out the person who shouted the first word.

“You have to do it correctly. “That person is the former Shinryong!”

‘hmm?’

I had to tilt my head when I heard that.

Former Shinryong?

‘If it’s Sentai Shinryong…?’

As far as I know, there is only one person who held the position of Shenlong before the Shenlong of Shaolin.

As my gaze moved, a familiar figure caught my eye.

Appearance as if painted black from head to toe.
A young man was seen wearing a sword symbolizing his martial arts skills at his waist.

A stone that will later be called Doge and establish itself as a master representing the central region.

Sentai Shinryong.
Peng Wujin of the Peng family was there.

‘No, why is that person already here?’

He looked at Peng Wujin and nodded.
It’s been a while since I’ve seen you, but I never thought I’d meet you here.

As I was watching there with a strange expression, Peng Wujin seemed to recognize it and also gave me a look.

Soon our eyes met.
That moment.

“oh.”

Peng Wujin reacted.

“Who is this!!”

And that too very loudly.

“Sleep….”

“The pride of Shanxi District! Confucius Ouyangcheon No!! ha ha ha!!!”

“…”

Holy shit.
