Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 132

< Episode 132 > What are you? (2)

What are you again? ⑵

Why is this guy here?

If you think about the beginning of the incident, it won’t be too difficult.

The day before leaving for the Yongbong branch.

This was the last time I saw Namgoong-jin’s movements. Namgungjin was at

a level where the Gu family couldn’t stay any longer, and I had a schedule, so I had no choice.

In the meantime, he pretends to be calm and says he’s okay, but the regret on Namgung-jin’s face is

too obvious.

I understand his feelings, but from my point of view, even if he cares for the sword… I was just following Noya’s words, so

I felt at ease because one burdensome task was gone.

The problem was right after that.

“It’s been a while, Yangchun.”

“Have you been well?”

Immediately after meeting Namgung-jin, I went to see Iljang-ro.

Elder Lee heard my words the day before and said he would go with me.

I was extremely against it and said I would go see him alone.

Elder Lee made an expression of incomprehension, but going with him

didn’t help much.

Rather, just being with the elder of the opposite faction drew a wall

.

I looked at the thin, fierce-looking old man sitting in front of me.

Although it is a dwarf and skinny body, you can feel the well-forged blade contained within it.

Even though I’m old, I still feel like a famous sword.

But on the other hand, he

also said that I had risen enough to feel the level of a senior elder.

The elder asked me with a smile.

“So what is this old man here for?”

“I just wanted to see if you were healthy.”

“Huh…Thank you for making me talk.”

I also smiled along with Elder Il.

Old text.

It is a place called the sword of the Gu family and the Munpai belonging to the Gu family. Although it is not very far from the Gu family in terms of location, it is definitely on the collateral side

, rather than the feeling of belonging

to the Gu family .

The feeling of being separated is strong.

It is unclear

whether this is also a part of the thought or a part that has been passed down from the ancestors .

“Yeah, I heard you’re doing well these days.”

“Sure, I’m always fine.”

Starting a conversation is simple.

Because you can’t just bite and tear.

“I heard you even got engaged to a pretty girl. Well done.”

“Thankfully, it seemed that they looked at me favorably.”

“Well then.”

The elder one grinned at my words. On the other hand, the air in the room is stuffy.

I could feel myself turning inside out without realizing it.

‘Look at this old man.’

It is emitting my energy very minutely so that it does not show.

Needless to say, I also moved my ki and

scattered the air.

hook-!

The heat did not exhale. Because there was no need for that.

Perhaps it was an unexpected situation, but only then did the elder’s expression change.

I said looking at him.

“Because I hate a cramped atmosphere.”

“That’s true…”

The elder Ilji quickly erased the smile on his face.

Yes, this is more comfortable.

“It looks like it has changed a lot.”

“Because I’m in my prime.”

“Crunch…. The child who couldn’t even meet my eyes properly is now…”

Was it like that? Certainly, I couldn’t have endured this subtle atmosphere comfortably then.

If it was originally, there would be no way I would have come to face the Iljangro on my own.

I took a sip of the tea and listened to the elder’s words.

Maybe it wasn’t mixed with poison.

‘…Maybe it’s because I’ve been through so much, I’m worried about these things now.’

Under the present circumstances, Elder Il could not have done such a thing, but in his previous life, he

always had poison and assassination in mind.

Even now, it was a habit to move bets and widen the senses.

“It’s nice to see that you’ve changed a lot from before.”

“Are you really good looking?”

“Then it must be good that the leading role of our family has changed so much.”

“That sounds nice to hear.”

He is the main character of Sega.

You casually spit out words you don’t like.

There were times when I wondered if his words were sincere.

The time I’ve been through has made me realize that all those words are useless.

“It is no different that I came to see the elder today.”

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-

red energy like a haze rolls over your shoulders.

The elder’s eyebrows are slightly furrowed, probably because of the climax energy

.

“I came here because I have something to tell you.”

“…what were you talking about?”

The fact that the elder one isn’t too surprised when he sees me at my peak

probably means he already knows.

The reason I implied that I had reached the state was no different.

It is poor to write in the sense that if you keep touching it, you will overturn it.

It was said that he was superior for his age, but it was at his peak.

Compared to other people, it may be infinitely high, but it

was not yet at the level where you can go around pretending to be proud. It was at a level

where not only the Heavenly Demon, but also the Swordsman or Swordsman nearby

would die if they drew their swords.

If you’re going to live with your temper just because you don’t like it, that means it’s impossible at the current level

.

[Then why don’t you kill and live?]

‘…That wasn’t easy.’

It killed a lot too .

The world hates this.

I am aware of you

Don’t you know it’s too late if you’ve reached this level?

And so on, it gave many meanings.

Will the elders really not understand that?

I didn’t think so.

At my calm gaze, Elder Il finally takes off his last mask.

It seems that he had no intention of hiding it in the first place.

“It has changed so much that I don’t know. It’s like being a different person.”

“You hear that often. Didn’t they say that growing up is just an instant

?”

“That’s right. I wish I hadn’t been there forever.”

“I have no interest in what Elder Il is doing or what he is dreaming of.”

The wish of an old man is a futile yet deep story.

I was not interested in what he dreamed of.

“But I keep feeling like I’m stuck there.”

The problem is that I am bound to the wrong side by the old man’s wishes.

“How could I not be involved?”

“That’s why it’s annoying and irritating.”

“What was the problem?”

The elder asks

“What changed the way you lived with your head down?

Is it more modest hope or pitiful faith?”

“Hope has been burned for a long time, and every corner of the house isn’t that clean to believe in something

.”

The reason why the father left such an elder alone was probably part of it.

Anyway, it’s like a dog’s house.

there’s nothing you don’t like

“Your father is arrogant.”

I put on a mysterious expression at the sudden talk.

Suddenly your parents curse.

“Isn’t that so?”

“Are you saying that I should at least go along with my father’s insults?”

No matter how hard I try to understand my father.

What kind of bullshit is this? ”

You don’t seem to know

how arrogant it is to think that only you and your father can handle the karma of this land .”

I put down the tea I was going to drink.

It was because I didn’t know that the story of karma would come out of the mouth of the elder.

“How do you know?”

“Are you curious? what you know.”

“yes.”

Knowing this can be counted on one hand among all three families.

Sega is outside. It’s a story I don’t know, but at least it’s like that in the inside.

It had to be.

‘But the elder Il knows.’

Since when did you know? Is it right to know for sure?

I don’t know much about the Iljangro. The reason

is that the country was in such a miserable situation that it did not stand out very much at the time

.

It was also after

I was appointed as Sogaju that I started to stand out in earnest as an elder .

“If you know everything, why are you trying to climb a place you can’t climb?”

“Can’t you climb? If not me, my children.”

“Anything.”

“You are arrogant as well as father.”

It might have been

a different story if it had been to pity us who had to carry underground karma on our backs .

Iljang-ro was thinking of something else.

“You will never know. What a huge power it is to hold them in your hands.

“

It feels like the rising heat is cooling down.

“I don’t want to know. Whatever it means.”

The elders cannot set foot there.

If you came to see it.

Because he couldn’t stand and walk around now.

I don’t know what kind of false dream you’re having.

“If you want to borrow, please keep borrowing.”

Dreaming is freedom. This is also the reason why my father just leaves the elder alone

.

The elder said mockingly at my words.

“What are you going to do if you don’t just lie around?”

“well.”

Even if Iljangro is blinded by his ambition, should I give him a justification?

It is said that the value of Guseonmun is high and its role is clear.

You never know how far your father will take care of you.

There is no way that even the head of the company is unaware of that.

So it must be that he doesn’t do anything openly even though he shows a stumbling block

.

“You know what?”

I looked into the elder’s eyes and said.

“The dog that was guarding the house got old and had a problem with his head, so when he told the owner, he scolded him

.”

I mixed up the story of my previous life a little.

Because it’s no fun if I just bring it up with non-existent stories.

“Dog…”

“Yes, dog.”

At the same time, he raised his eyebrows gently.

“Even so, I endured it because there was a love that protected the house, but one day the old dog bit the owner

.”

“so.”

“Do you know what happened?”

a

I don’t know.”

The end of Iljangro is the same season as now after several years.

If I remember how, that day was a particularly hot day for autumn.

The owner of the house was furious.

The fire he spewed filled the sky.

“After all his teeth were pulled out, he was burned alive.”

If it had only stopped with biting, I would have passed it on. It was because I had crossed the line too much

.

Isn’t it?

You touched a blood relative.

At that time, my father stepped in.

This time, it is a story that I may come out at a slightly earlier time.

Coincidentally, that day in my previous life was also the way I could do very well.

If only a cause is given, that is.

And it seemed that there was not much left until the justification was given.

So I was still able to answer with a smile.

“It’s just like that.”

“…that’s an interesting story. Very talkative.”

| |…..

Telegram’s largest novel sharing room.

There are more than 100,000 files such as DC webtoon and novels

….

“Isn’t it? Please, it would be nice if it was just a story.”

Iljang-ro doesn’t hide the ambition that can be seen around his eyes, but he hides his current emotions well

.

Were you angry inside?

A young guy like that was spitting out rude words at himself.

“It was a funny story. Thank you.”

Iljang-ro laughs as if that’s not the case.

Seeing that smile made me feel a little better.

He said that his relationship with the elders would not change.

So now, looking at Gujeolyeop, I have many thoughts.

“…Whoa.”

Was it the problem that he went to his father right after the uncomfortable conversation with the elder Il?

It reminds me of what my father said, ‘I get it.’

I just went with the meaning of what to do.

“Why are you here?”

“…It is a message to attend the Archduke.”

“you? me?”

“Yes….”

I wonder if the first elder put it in. That’s why it couldn’t be done without his father’s permission

.

Father’s breath must have entered.

You’re a hostage.

“…”

At my words, Gu Gujeo-yeop averted his gaze.

He seemed to know what his role was.

“long time no see?”

“…yes.”

When I stare at him, the old man does not meet his eyes.

Is it because of what happened last time?

‘I didn’t lose that badly.’

That’s all because they sent it quietly without breaking anything.

Compared to what he said, he was very kind to me, but

it didn’t seem to be the case with Gu Gujeo-yeop.

“Confucius…”

Dang So-yeol sneaks up.

She was sending a wary gaze to Gu Gujeo-yeop.

‘Coming to think of it, the two must have already met.’

It seemed that the two had met because of something I had done in my anger.

Because of that, Dang So-yeol also questioned me.

Gujeoyeop looked at Dangsoyeol and bowed his head slightly to greet him.

“See you again. Dangsojeo.”

“…hello.”

Even when Gu Gu Yeo-yeop, who has a handsome face, greets him, Dang So-yeol

only slightly frowns.

“young master!”

In such a situation, Weiseol-ah jumps in.

It was nice to see that he has maintained his lively appearance since we went out together the other day.

“Via sister, sleep!”

“It seemed so.”

Namgoongbia chose to accompany her as she had said before.

He said he had gone to the carriage first, and he seemed to be sleeping as soon as he got there.

“uh ? hello.”

Wi Seol-ah finds Gujeol-yeop and greets her.

Seeing that, Gu Gujeo-yeop flinched.

Did he recall the memory of coveting Wi Seol-ah in the past and being hit and beaten?

I looked at it and asked.

“What are you going for?”

“yes ?”

“What is your role?”

Putting aside the fact that they were told to attend me, there had to be a story about why they were following me

.

Gujeolyeop shows me a letter to see if he understood my words.

It was a letter of recommendation for the Yongbong branch.

The recommender is none other than the name of Gu Cheol-woon’s father.

When I saw that, I was dumbfounded for a moment.

Not a Japanese elder, but a father. Looking at it as if it had no teeth, Gujeo-yeop

seems to be the same.

He didn’t know why he had to be here.

“…that’s fun.”

“what?

99

When I turned my head at the sudden intruding voice, Gu Ryeong-hwa

was looking at me with wide eyes.

“When did you come?”

“Just…”

“Did you come to see me off?”

“I was just passing by.”

For reference, there was a considerable distance between the entrance and the residence of Guryeonghwa.

“Now?”

“I guess so.”

“Then when are you coming…?”

I looked at Gu Lyeong-hwa with a strange expression at the voice that was quite muffled.

Gu Ryeong-hwa also looks at the ground with a blushing face, as if what she said was strange

.

I said, holding back my laughter.

“Okay. I don’t think it will take long.”

At least it will be faster than going to the volcanic wave.

In the meantime, will there be three families of old painters?

‘It looks like it will be there even after I return.’

Because I said it would last for half a year.

While I was thinking, Gu Ryeong-hwa added a comment.

“…Hyuk will find a lot of oppa.”

“what?

what did you just say?

“What is Hyuk?”

“huh? Why?,

“No, what is that friendly title?”

“Why is that suddenly?”

Hyuk …. Could it be that he is not the Hyuk I know ?

“Are you… are you close with him?”

“We’re not close, but we saw each other yesterday.”

“what?”

“Because Master and Sinui ate together.”

“so.”

“So what is it? We just ate together…”

We’re not close, so do we eat? I open my flounder eyes and look at Gu-ryeong-hwa, but Gu-ryeong-

hwa only sends a glance as if asking why.

“I think I’ll have a look at Hyuk later.”

“why?”

“I want to be friends with you from now on.”

“Hyuk said he was close with oppa.”

“That’s right, we should be closer from now on.”

our hyuk.

It’s a pity that I couldn’t see your face today.

Just as something was about to happen in my heart, Muyeon approached me.

“Bocchan, then I’ll finish loading now.”

“Are there many left?”

“Just load the groceries and that’s it.”

Only the heavy ones remain.

I said to Gu Gujeo-yeop, who was still staring at me dumbfounded.

“hey.

“yes…?”

“What are you doing.”

“Yes? What are you saying all of a sudden…”

“I’m playing something. Go and help.”

Whether it was the elder’s intentions or his father’s thoughts, he did not know.

If you tell me to write it , you should write it .

Lee Sang-gu Jeol-yeop, who had become like this, was going to roll quite a lot on his future travels

.

I thought as I stroked the hair of Wi Seol-ah, who was standing next to me like a puppy.

Does Gujeolyeop know?

I mean the back end is longer than I thought.
