Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 388
*
“Your body is in good shape.”
“…yes.”
After the sparring, the father he faced was still the same.
What’s strange is that he’s trying hard to turn his back.
“Why are you turning your back?”
“It is nothing.”
“Does my face look so funny?”
“…no.”
‘It’s true that I don’t watch it because it’s funny.’
If I can’t even see my father for a long time, what the hell is going on?
‘Why didn’t the sleeping dragon say anything when he looked like this?’
He’s more of a problem.
Goo Hee-bi burst into tears as soon as she saw it. If my father had a face that was hard to see for a long time, he would have known Woo-hyuk a long time ago, but that means he didn’t say anything.
‘This bastard must have done it on purpose, right?’
Just looking at it, it was clear that I didn’t mean to make fun of myself.
If it were him, there would be no doubt.
I had to focus on my father first, so I decided to ask a few mouth-watering questions.
“Training in a foreign land. What are you doing?”
Originally, my father did not train abroad. Even in the Gu Family, there is a separate training center for the family head, so there is no overlap.
At least I could see that my father didn’t go to another area to practice.
“I did it for a while because I couldn’t sleep.”
“It seems like you’ve been doing it for a while.”
It could be seen from the traces of heat that remained subtly around.
This means that the heat has been there for a very long time.
I couldn’t sleep and that’s why
Did you stay up all night? By the time such a question passes by,
“third.”
“yes.”
“Where did you learn that power?”
“…”
My father immediately got down to business.
To say goodbye to the morning, did you eat, etc., put away all the stories that could be piled up and go straight to the point. Although I was a little embarrassed.
‘It’s like a father.’
It was rather fatherly behavior.
“You mean strength?”
“okay.”
“What kind of power are you talking about?”
I was going to pretend I didn’t know for a moment, but…
“Tuapacheonmu.”
“…”
I had to keep my mouth shut at the words my father spat out casually.
“It was the martial art of the old man Pazon.”
“…no.”
He obviously pulled his inner energy and wrapped it around his body, but before he could spread it properly, he was hit in the face and fell down.
How does your father know this?
Did you notice it as soon as you saw it?
“Did you put two deep holes in your body?”
“That’s… it happened that way.”
It’s not two, but four or five.
I didn’t spit it out because it wasn’t a situation where I could pass it off in a good way.
Only then did I look back at the back my father was turning.
“Seeing that he is fine even after wearing two deep holes, it must be something.”
It felt like checking the results and finding the reason rather than asking why.
“Yeah… it worked because I was going to do that.”
“Did the old man Pajon tell you to do that?”
“no. That’s not it. I couldn’t give up my family’s martial arts, so I insisted on learning together.”
“…hmm.”
It seems you don’t like my answer. Actually, this was true.
It is also true that he said that he would not give up his family’s martial arts. It was also true that I was forced to.
“My lord.”
“Tell me.”
“Then the reason you knocked me out yesterday was because you tried to use two deep holes?”
I wondered if it was because I was afraid that my body would explode.
“okay.”
And I could see from my father’s answer that he was right.
Hey, since he’s taking out another deep hole right in front of his eyes, it might look like he’s about to commit suicide.
As I shyly turned my head, my father spoke another word to me.
“When did you start learning it?”
“It’s been a few months.”
“That means that Paejon is also in Hanam right now.”
“…”
Was this a slip of the tongue? Around the time when I was a little cautious in case something went wrong.
“As it is your choice, I won’t say anything else. If you learn it and there is no problem, so be it.”
“…yes.”
“After that, if I ever see the elders. Please tell me that you want to visit me soon.”
“All right.”
When I said this, it was expected that Pazon’s face wouldn’t look very good, but what should I do?
After sighing, I spoke to my father.
“That… the head of the house.”
“okay.”
“Then the bet will be nothing?”
At my words, my father looks at me with a mysterious look.
The previous day’s sparring was to hand over information about her mother.
In the end, none of the attacks succeeded, so the bet was lost on my side.
I know that, but I was obsessing over it once in a nasty way.
‘Do you feed me because I’m bluffing? I have to pray.’
It’s rather fortunate that I’m far from that kind of personality.
“You act lighter than expected.”
“…Kuhm.”
What are you dragging on over the finished talk?
It was a bit embarrassing to me, but it wasn’t something to be overlooked, and above all, this kind of talk itself wasn’t a story that was brought out without any justification.
“My lord. You said yesterday that you only use one hand.”
“…”
My father’s eyebrows twitched greatly at my words.
I could tell by looking at it.
That my father knew exactly what I was talking about.
Then I saw clearly.
“But why did you use your right arm?”
“…”
The arm my father used to punch me in the face last night was his right hand.
“Right?”
Dad is still silent.
It was quite scary that he was frowning, but I could tell at a glance that his face was part of his embarrassment.
“Then did I win the bet?”
“…”
Still no answer. My father would have tried to pretend he didn’t know, but I couldn’t miss this.
I’m better than anyone at catching the pods on other people’s actions, but I don’t think I’ll miss this.
Before starting the betting sparring, my father sealed one hand.
The sealed hand was clearly the right hand.
It may be the last one, but using it doesn’t mean I won.
I’m watching my father to see how he will come out of this.
“I don’t know what you mean.”
“and.”
I had to unknowingly express admiration for my father’s answer.
I never thought the day would come when I live and see my father cheating.
“Are you going to come out like this?”
“However, it seems that you regret it a lot. I will give you one more chance.”
“No, what does this mean? What am I missing?”
Are you trying to slip away?
What do I regret?
Stupid, I stared at my father. Then I had to laugh inwardly.
After all, my father came all this way and acted like that.
“…it seems like you don’t want to send me there anyway.”
“You should have said it from the beginning.”
“I still have to go. I will go anyway.”
“…”
“Even if you block it, it means that it will break through like a perseverance.”
i have to go
By any means.
I couldn’t send the new sword in my body like this, and I had to go through it without fail to know what I had.
As the saying goes, this is something that will not change no matter how much his father tries to stop it.
With such determination, I told my father. My father speaks to me after a moment of silence.
“good night.”
“yes?”
good? Around the time when the unexpected answer swelled with momentary anticipation.
“If you still want to go there. I will make a condition.”
I had to frown at my father’s subsequent words.
“Is it Dalian? also?”
It’s a fight you can’t win right now.
Yesterday, I was convinced of the gap with my father.
I wonder if I can regain all the realms I reached in my previous life.
As it is now, I will not be able to reach my father.
More than anything else, the time it takes to regain all the power of the previous life is also a problem.
“It’s not sparring.”
“sure?”
“What is the state of deep air now?”
“It’s seven stars.”
To be precise, it is the beginning of Chilsung.
It was thanks to the fact that the rings of Guyeomhwarunkong grew together as they reached Hwagyeong.
“Touch the composition. If so, I will let you know.”
“…Configuration?”
“okay.”
When it comes to composition, it was the level I had reached in my previous life.
So, in other words, if you regain all the powers of your previous life, you will be notified?
‘Though it’s a bit different from that.’
It will be different from previous life.
At that time, I was more focused on increasing my magic rather than my family’s martial arts. If you want to reach it now, you will reach it much sooner.
It’s not a bad thing so far.
“May I ask why…composition?”
It was a bit questionable because the part called the condition was more detailed than I thought.
After hearing my question, my father gives an answer without hesitation.
“Because that’s enough to survive.”
“…”
I was speechless at my father’s reply.
Well, I don’t know how great the place is, so I don’t know if the conditions are so high, but looking at my father’s face, I could see that there really was no further agreement.
‘This is all I can get from talking about arms.’
Didn’t you use both arms?
In the first place, it was possible to know that the sparring itself was done with the consideration of his father, so it was the best to say that he was forced to do it. The word
‘composition…’
is two stars from now on, and the gap is bound to get thicker as it goes.
“…All right. I’ll ask you again after we get there.”
But I had to accept it because there was no way right now.
I said yes, but I was thinking of finding another way while raising the level.
At my words, my father nodded.
and.
“…”
“…”
A long silence followed, perhaps because the conversation had ended.
It’s a very uncomfortable silence.
Around the time I was contemplating whether I should run away or speak out more.
“third.”
Surprisingly, the father continues to speak first.
“yes.”
“Have you eaten?”
“…”
I was quite taken aback by my father’s words. Because that’s where I heard it.
‘Where did you hear that?’
After thinking about it for a while, I was able to immediately think of it.
‘It sounds like something I’ve always said.’
There was nothing to ask, but it was a blunt statement to ask if something was going on, if he was hungry, and so on.
“I didn’t… I didn’t eat.”
“okay.”
Hearing my answer, my father immediately walks past me.
And then he spit out short words and goes.
“Then let’s go eat. Follow me.”
“…”
I quietly watched my father’s back. Somehow, it was like hearing it for the first time from my father.
You mean let’s have breakfast together?
I mumbled a bit about its meaning.
I also started walking cautiously.
“…yes. father.”
My father’s shoulders shook slightly at the words he spat out.
I just wanted to make it look weird.
Dad didn’t say anything.
What came after that was the same silence as always.
but.
Unlike before, the silence now was not so uncomfortable.
It felt so strange.
