Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 99
< Episode 99 > Jehwajeon (第花悐).(3)
Jehwajeon (3) I
tried to ask
what the reaction was when I mentioned Gulinghwa in the companion to Shaanxi .
Looking at the current reaction, I wondered if I was misunderstanding something.
But after hearing that, instead, Shinhyun said he had something to ask me and brought up the story
.
This has been the story since Guryunghwa first came to the Hwasanpa until now.
And why was that child in a volcanic wave?
Shinhyun was asking while explaining.
I wonder if it’s your fault that Guryeonghwa became like that?
I had only one answer to him.
“Yes, it is my fault.”
It contained a deep story for the words that he suddenly brought out saying that he had something to ask
.
In my position, it was the first time I had heard the story of Gu Ryeong-hwa, who had been through the Volcano School
.
That you cried while looking for me.
Also, I had a fear of men.
When I saw it, the reaction was insignificant, so I didn’t think much of it, but it was a part.
It seems to be more serious than expected.
I don’t think Gu Ryeong-hwa, whom I faced recently, has overcome this.
There seemed to be a greater chance of just being patient.
Shinhyeon listened to my answer and didn’t say anything.
However, I feel not very good emotions from the slightly frowning impression and somewhat rough breathing
.
It looked like it was holding something tight.
At first, I thought Gu Ryeong-hwa was being bullied, but looking at this,
it seems that it was not so fortunately.
On the contrary, I think I got a little bit of joy.
‘If it was bullying, I would have been in that role.’
This is an undeniable fact.
I asked Shin-hyeon because there was no follow-up from Shin-hyeon.
“Aren’t you asking why?”
Shinhyun’s eyebrows furrowed slightly at my question.
“…I thought it was something that would not come back even if I asked Sohyeop.”
As Shinhyeon said, it was not a question that could be answered.
It was only a shame that I had, and it wasn’t enough to tell others
.
“and.”
Shinhyun continues.
“I don’t think my eyes are wrong yet.”
“…”
I don’t know what Shinhyeon sees in me and thinks that way.
I was still staring at Shinhyun.
Not all of the words in his eyes were conveyed, but one thing was known.
It wasn’t such a bad feeling because I knew that the
shallow resentment it sent to me was, in a way, caused by concerns about aging .
I don’t think Yeongpoong led me to show this
.
“Meet the housekeepers.”
“Yeongpoong Sajil.”
“Yes….”
“Did you bring Gu So-hyeop?”
“That’s right.”
“Currently, it is a place where no one except for literary men can come and go. don’t you know?”
“…I’m sorry. You’re asking about the old accident, so
I thought it would be better if I let you talk directly.”
“About the old accident?”
Shinhyun looks at me. It was a little different from the first time he met Shinhyun
.
Maybe it’s because of the answer I spit out earlier.
Hearing what Shinhyeon said, it seemed like it was something he shouldn’t have brought.
Even knowing that, Youngpoong did it.
‘He’s also quite reckless.’
Even if not as much as the Moorim Meng, if you are a literary person, you are famous for keeping the words of your superiors, but you
ignored them and brought them.
I said with a slight sigh.
“I wanted to ask why my younger brother was doing a dance with the three great disciples.”
“Ah…that’s it.”
Shinhyun opened his mouth as if he was trying to answer in his stead, but there was an interrupting voice in the middle
.
“brother?”
When I turned around at the familiar voice, I was standing there.
A look of surprise that I am here.
And then, looking at the disciples of Lee Dae, who are clearly hiding here and there, Gu Ryeong-hwa
quickly crumples his face.
“…the executioners.”
“Ah, I heard.” “It’s because of the dialogue…
How can
someone who decided to hide speak so openly ?”
“Sister Gu…. This is all because the ambassador seduced me to come, we are not at fault!”
“…Selling the death penalty right away, it’s going well like a door-to-door. These crazy bastards.”
It is the appearance of Shinhyun who is sweeping his
face as if he is ashamed and the excuses he is accustomed to spit out as if he has squeezed and hit them .
Guryeonghwa looked at it and let out a small sigh.
“I told you not to come…”
Shin-hyeon urgently explains in a small lamentation.
“I’m sorry. The priests asked me to come over and over….”
“What is it…? They just said why are you selling yourself first, and then they sell us right away
.”
“It’s not just once or twice, why are you surprised? All the lines are like that.”
Those who were talking behind them shut their mouths at Shinhyun’s growl.
Gu Ryeong-hwa watched it quietly.
It’s as if he has a lot to say, but he doesn’t dare to say it.
Then he sighs and bows his head.
“…Thank you for your concern. Still, I hope you don’t worry too much.
“
It was something firm.
In a way, it was an act that could seem disrespectful to the superior.
I look at the men’s expressions as if I’m noticing a sneak peek.
It wasn’t an angry or upset expression.
Rather, what should I say…surprise? moved? I guess that’s how it feels…?
“Three …three sisters said thank you to us.”
“I didn’t avert my eyes and didn’t even step back.”
“what? What is this? Am I going to die tomorrow…?”
…Now it’s scary.
What are those crazy reactions?
Shin-hyeon kicks away the men who seem to have lost their senses and approaches Gu-ryeong-hwa
.
“…is it okay?”

Guryeonghwa nodded at Shinhyeon’s question.
“As always, I respect the priests’ choices.”
“thank you.”
“It’s the first time I’ve heard you say thank you. It’s a strange feeling.”
“…sorry.”
“Apologies have been made. After all, there was
nothing I wanted to receive, whether it was thanks or an apology .”
Shinhyun smiled slightly as he looked at the old man.
Gu Ryeong-hwa turned her head, as if that gaze was a little burdensome.
“I’ll take those idiots with you. It seems like time is running out, so
I hope they achieve satisfactory results.”
The men behind Shin-hyeon mumbled at his words, but when Shin-hyeon turned his back and his face
changed like a tiger, everyone kept their mouths shut.
I thought he had a nice face, but he can make an expression like that… For the moment,
I was a little scared without realizing it.
“What is your brother doing?”
He shifted his gaze to the call of Gu Ryeong-hwa.
It seemed that he had become accustomed to calling him oppa again.
I had a problem with that part.
‘Does he deserve to hear such words?’
It was just such an idea.
Quickly erase useless thoughts from your head and say,
“I heard that you are dancing with three generations of disciples.”
a
Ah.”
“I just wanted to ask why, but I was dragged here.”
Shin Hyun dragged all of his disciples and disappeared before he knew it.
Seeing that Young Poong is not there, it must have been captured.
Gu Ryeong-hwa calmly answered my question.
“I just wanted to do it in a place that fits the theme.”
I seemed to know what you meant.
Now, salvation is far from enough to do with this great disciple.
As most of the power of the current Volcano faction was gathered in this great disciple, it
was not something that could cause a fire.
‘Even the three great disciples seem to have a hard time, but.’
There is one thing that Gu Ryeong-hwa practiced steadily, but
there is no way that he did not do it as the other three great disciples.
I can’t know for sure since only Yeongpung is the only one who has faced the three great disciples properly
…
But anyway, if it was because of those reasons that I decided to compete with the three great disciples, I
wouldn’t have anything more to ask.
In the first place, the higher up allowed it, so Gu Ryeong-hwa must be here.
‘Youngpoong is on the side of the second generation, and Gu Ryeong-hwa is on the side of the third generation.’
It looks like something has changed.
If Yeongpung was compulsory, would it be the difference that Guryeonghwa was his will?
“…cheer up.”
Gu Ryeong-hwa’s head rises at the words he spat out as if he was muddying the tail.
It was a bit startled.
“What is that expression?”
“I didn’t expect to hear that… from my brother.”
“Looking at it earlier, I think you’ve heard it a lot, but it looks like you’re getting a little more love.”
It reminded me of the disciples of Lee Dae-hwa, who were chanting with praise.
“…they’re just a bit eccentric.”
Gu Ryeong-hwa had a somewhat burdensome face. Even if it were me
, I felt like I would want to hide
when those muscular guys were saying, ‘Our Yangcheon is the best!’
Still, it wasn’t that he didn’t like it.
just uncomfortable
“Anyway, I saw it. I’m going.”
“excuse me.”
Guryonghwa, who was about to return, called me and stopped my steps.
I looked at him with a curious expression on his face, and he sneaked up to me and grabbed the hem of my sleeve
.
I couldn’t help but be surprised by Gu Ryeong-hwa’s behavior.
It was Gu Ryeong-hwa who had a hard time even seeing me face-to-face, so I had no choice but to do so.
“You…”
“Are you going to see the shoe show?”
“Because I came to see you.”
“Is your sister… here too?”
If it’s an older sister, it’s okay to talk about Namgoong Via. If it were Namgoongbi, she
would probably be sitting with Wi Seol-ah.
I replied to Gu Ryeong-hwa.
“Come, I will be seated.”
“Your brother too?”
“I
came to see Gu Ryeong-hwa’s dance in 99, but I was
a bit embarrassed to say I was going to see it here. I coughed a little and said.
“…I will see.”
In response to my answer, the old woman released the sleeve she was holding. As expected, it is still difficult, but
I can see the shallow shaking of my hand.
It’s so hard, why did you hold on to it?
Gu Ryeong-hwa caresses my trembling hand and smiles bitterly.
“I guess it’s still a little tough.”
sorry. Don’t do it if it’s hard. You don’t have to.
There were many words that seemed to come out of my mouth, but I didn’t dare to say them.
Young Gu Lyeong-hwa was trying to overcome it on her own.
It was already a very different story from the previous life.
“…okay. I’ll keep an eye on you.”
Every time I see that kind of look, I regret and promise at the same time.
The late regret that I shouldn’t have done that and the promise that I must change even now
.
Gu Ryeong-hwa returned to her seat, saying that she had to prepare now.
I, too, followed Gu Ryeong-hwa’s back and moved on.
With a somewhat complicated mind, I returned to the place where the crowd gathered and found my party.
Finding where it was was easier than I thought.
It was just a matter of finding Namgoong Biah.
If not, there was a place where the eyes were focused.
Although she was wearing a cotton thread, her gaze was focused little by little, probably because of the unique atmosphere of Namgungbia
.
Bia Namgung looked tired and leaned on Wi Seol-ah, but she
raised her head and moved around.
It’s like looking for something.
Bia Namgung, who had been looking around, turned to this direction. They waved their hands as if they had found me
.
Wi Seol-ah, who was next to her, also waved her hand.
‘I was a little far away, how did you find me?’
Did you even write a bet?
I don’t think it was a coincidence, then?
‘It must be a coincidence.’
Thinking nonchalantly, I went there, and the seat next to me was empty. It must have been
my seat .
Wee Seol-ah looks at me and asks.
“Where have you been, Bocchan?”
“I came to see my little brother because he said he was competing today.”
Namgung Bi-ah reacts from the side, as if he heard what he said.
“Today…with me?”
“It is.”
Via Namgoong twitched her lips as if she wanted to ask something more, but quickly turned her head away
.
His gaze was on the non-stage.
There was no need to ask why.
The somewhat noisy buzzing sound also disappears.
All eyes were on the non-stage.
On top of the silent stage.
In the air that is not high, bright red energy suddenly gathers and creates a small leaf.
The light-bearing leaves sway and fall in the wind.
Eventually, the leaves touch the ground.
Whoaaah-!
Crimson energy swirls in an instant and covers the non-stage.
At first glance, it was an incredible amount of bet.
The energy that drove the rain stage like a whirlwind instantly exploded! It spreads and
disappears leaving a faint trace in the air.
On the empty stage, where energy has disappeared, Mae Hwa-seon, a long-time scholar of Hwasan, leads.
Behind it, it seemed, were the three great disciples who were probably going to participate in the shoemaking event.
As soon as they saw it, the audience sitting around them cheered.
…that’s crazy.
It was probably a production of Maehwaseon for Jun who came up to the volcano. It was
even more amazing that it didn’t show even after spending that much bet on just directing
.
As Maehwaseon raised her hand, it became quiet again as if she had squeezed it.
“Every year, for this small event, why
did you climb a high mountain in the scorching heat and come all the way here… I am truly grateful.”
Every time Maehwaseon takes a step, the illusion comes as if the wind is blowing.
Could this be a change made by betting? “There is nothing as boring as an old man’s long words
, so I will go downstairs
after saying thank you
.
Indeed, Mae Hwa-seon comes off the stage and
goes to another place as if she has nothing more to say.
Geomryong Yeongpung is at best a promising latecomer, but Maehwaseon is an
absolute master widely known in the midfield, so there were many people who regretted not hearing more of his words.
From my point of view, it was nice to be able to see the shoe show more quickly, but that’s all.
As Mae Hwa-seon sat in the seat where the elders gathered, the three generations of
disciples on the non-stage began to prepare as if they had waited.
Two men came out of the gap and drew wooden swords and faced each other.
‘Is it with a wooden sword?’
It seemed that he had heard beforehand that this great disciple used a real sword.
The man who appears to be a referee in the center glances at the young men on both sides
to make sure they are ready.
“…start!”
At the sound of shouting with a bet, he jumped straight ahead and rushed.
