On (1)
You seem to have caused a lot of trouble.
I gulped after hearing Fathers cold words.
In his calm voice, there was definitely so anger.
And considering how rare it was for Father to show emotion, I knew how serious this was.
Im fucked.
All the things I planned to deal with after returning to the clan piled up and were exploding right now.
Which ant that I was responsible for all of this and I couldnt bla anyone else.
Jailbreak, huh.
Flinch.
My shoulders flinched involuntarily after hearing Fathers words.
The blood of Gu Clan, breaking out of jail?
About that.
Before we get into that
Right as I was about to use the Marble of Celestial Captivation as an excuse, Father cut off.
And his gaze fixed on .
[How terrifying, you look even more like him now.]
It was terrifying for too.
Fathers eyes, that looked at with emotion unlike his usual expressionless face, seed more frightening than I could imagine.
You killed the First Elder?
Yes.
I didnt make any excuses.
Because it was sothing I really did.
I heard that you killed the First Elder by using a different family mbers na.
Yes, thats true.
Do you know what that ans?
I do.
Then, why did you do it?
Despite his noticeable anger, Father didnt raise his voice or yell at .
He was only waiting for my explanations.
His red eyes were only on .
Without letting escape until I gave him a proper explanation.
Sigh.
I didnt want to run away either, so after letting out a breath, I explained to Father.
Why I killed the First Elder and why I escaped the jail.
Oh, I also told him about the Marble of Celestial Captivation without leaving anything out.
I explained that in more detail.
It didnt take very long.
It wasnt sothing I could drag on for long anyway.
After I finished talking, Father who heard my explanation stayed silent without saying anything.
One thing that changed was that his anger cald down a bit and his sharp eyes returned to normal.
To , that was enough.
Father, who stayed silent for a while, spoke again after letting out a light sigh.
Answer truthfully. I wont accept any lies.
Yes
The secret room thats in the First Elders place you ntioned, does it really exist?
Yes, it does.
Then, how do you know about that?
I realized sothing as I looked into Fathers eyes.
Hes looking for a reason.
Father was looking for a reason why I acted the way I did.
Rather than trying to find out if what I said was true or not, it seed more like he was looking for a reason for all my actions.
But how do I explain that?
I did it without thinking much, but I learned about it in my past life and I had no way to explain it to him otherwise.
But I couldnt just tell him that and because I couldnt give him an answer, Father looked away from and changed the topic.
He dropped this topic as soon as he saw that I couldnt answer.
For the second topic, I might let you off since you played a big role in it.
He was talking about the fact that I found Gu Huibis location through the Marble of Celestial Captivation and my role in helping her escape the jail.
Father hinted that he would let off with this matter.
First
But that didnt an that I would be off the hook completely.
Even if we found the secret room you ntioned, killing the First Elder by yourself is way over the line. Do you realize that?
Im sorry.
I hope you understand that you dont have that much power in the clan yet.
I dont have it yet.
I knew what those words ant, so I couldnt take them as a good sign.
Because it ant that no matter what I did, I would beco the Young Lord anyway.
The Elders eting will open for this matter.
I bit my tongue after hearing Father.
The Elders eting would open because of this even though it hadnt happened for the past few years.
To be fair, it was understandable since I killed the First Elder with my own hands.
By the way, the last Elders eting was also because of .
I think it was because of my rampage towards Peng Ah-hee and breaking our marriage engagent.
Now that I look at it, I really am a troublemaker huh?
My past was one thing, but I caused more than one or two troubles after my regression.
I felt a bit ashad.
Did I regress for this
Of course, I shook this off right away.
Know this, the Second Elder wont participate in this Elders eting.
!
I wont take your side either, so it ans that you wont have anyone on your side.
Now thats a big problem.
Whether it was my past life or this one, I knew that the Third and the Fourth Elder didnt like .
And because I killed the First Elder, it didnt seem like anything good would happen.
But also, the Second Elder is not taking part huh.
Was this Fathers order?
Excluding an Elder from an Elders eting, what kind of nonsense is this?
As I made a sour expression, Father said one more thing.
I expect that you will take responsibility for all the things you caused at this point of your life.
The words of expectation from a parent still felt as heavy as ever.
Even if our relationship wasnt the best.
Understood.
I hid my sigh and answered.
I had nothing to argue against him and him telling to take responsibility also ant that he was involved as well.
When the room beca quiet again, Father moved his gaze to the letters again, and spoke to softly.
The deal with Gu Sunmoon and your punishnt will be decided after the Elders eting.
I ask that you dont do anything in that tifra.
Yes, understood.
He was telling to stay put until the Elders eting happened and the matter was settled.
There is no way that another problem will pop up during that ti fra though.
And even if it does, Ill just do nothing.
Because if I caused another thing right now, then there was no solution.
I wouldnt be killed by my Father, but I guessed that he would burn all my hair.
[But it seems that you never get beaten up.]
True.
No matter what trouble I caused in my past life, Father never touched .
I wouldnt be beaten up this ti either,
But I cant let my hair burn away.
Id rather get beaten up.
I couldnt let that happen.
Moreover, Gu Sunmoon had lost its leader and the only successor, Gu Jeolyub, was still young.
And because the Second Elder wasnt a swordsman, I assud the position would be given to soone else.
Or it was possible that Gu Jeolyub would beco the junior successor of Gu Sunmoon, running it with my Father.
And about Jeolyub
It was a na that Ive been thinking about for a while.
It was because I never saw him again since I sent him to a dic room.
Not like Im in a situation where I can anyway.
After the matter with the secret room in the First Elders place ends, I would find it necessary to see him.
Because I couldnt just ignore him.
As I comforted my emotion in my mind, Father looked at and spoke of a strange topic.
I heard that you earned a title. The True Dragon, was it?
Pardon?
Because he brought up that stupid title, I gave him a dumbfounded response.
Why did he bring that up?
Furthermore, it felt shitty every ti I heard that na.
What the hell is a True Dragon?
I didnt know before, but after getting the Dragon title for myself, it felt too grand for a Young Prodigy.
Also, it was more like I was the real snake of all snakes rather than a dragon.
Not bad.
Pardon?
I was dumbfounded for a mont after hearing Fathers response.
What did he say just now?
Good work.
He spoke and nodded, as if he was really complinting .
As I looked at that, it felt super awkward and I felt a bit nauseous inside.
Whats up with him. Did he get hurt when he fought with the Palace Lord?
Thats not it, I saw him destroying everything without getting injured.
Or maybe the food he ate recently was bad.
I put this aside for now, and asked Father.
If you have nothing else to say, then could I ask you a question?
As I rubbed my stomach that felt full, Father looked at .
It seed like there was sothing happening with the Moyong Clan. What is the aning of that?
Moyong Oh.
I assud that he had a short conversation with the Moyong Clans elder, but his reaction showed as if he forgot about it already.
A business.
Yes, it would be that. Obviously.
Do you think I asked because I didnt know that?
It ans that you dont need to know about it.
I gave up right away after hearing Fathers response.
Because I knew that he wouldnt tell anything if he said those words.
[Arent you too quick on giving up?]
Experience in my past life helps in tis like these.
[What a pointless type of help that is]
Flutter-
If you have nothing else to say, then you may leave.
After hearing Father, I turned around and walked out of the Lords room.
When I stepped outside, I saw that the sun was slowly setting.
I guess he doesnt intend to put back in jail.
Thats probably because Father has returned to the clan.
Honestly, going back to the clan didnt sound that bad either.
Because I think hell is waiting for at my place
If my first hell was eting with Father, the second hell I had to face was sothing even more difficult.
So much that I preferred to go back to the jail instead.
Welco back, Young Master.
When I stepped into my place for the first ti in a while, Hongwa was the first one to greet .
Hmm thats a big problem.
The problem started here.
The fact that it was Hongwa who greeted first and not anyone else.
Usually, a certain soone would run towards to greet , but I couldnt see her anywhere.
I had cold sweat at this point.
I hid my panic and asked Hongwa carefully.
Where are the girls?
When I asked her, I saw Hongwa flinch for a mont, and her pupils shook slightly.
From her reaction, I smiled and nodded.
Yeah, Im fucked.
I realized that I was fucked after seeing Hongwas reaction.
Lady Namgung went into the room when she arrived. She seed tired.
Is that room mine?
Oh, yes.
Why did you answer as if that was obvious, huh?
Why is it obvious for her to sleep in my room?
Lady Tang said that she had sothing to do in the streets.
I guess thats one fortunate thing out of all the misfortunes.
Huh?
Nothing.
Tang Soyeol having sothing to do in the streets, huh.
It was strange enough that a blood relative of Sichuan had a business in Shanxi, but that wasnt what was on my mind right now.
What about Wi Seol-Ah?
It was the first ti.
The first ti I said her full na with my own mouth.
I might never have done it in my past life either.
Because I always called her the Celestial Sword, or whatever title she had.
Oh, Seol-Ah is
Hongwa hesitated for a bit, and then told about Wi Seol-Ah.
-Seol-Ah should be in the mountain at the back.
My steps headed towards the mountain.
The sun would set soon, so why did Wi Seol-Ah go to the mountain?
Even though she knew that I returned to the clan.
[Isnt it obvious, she doesnt want to see your face.]
When Elder Shin spoke as if he confird my worries, I bit my lips.
Why did my heart feel so frustrated?
It was a feeling that I had many tis, but it always felt like a heavy burden.
I climbed the mountain after hearing that she was sowhere in the mountain, but I felt like I knew where Wi Seol-Ah would be.
I couldnt feel her presence.
Wi Seol-Ahs presence was always light, so I wouldnt find her even with reaching Peak Realm, but Wi Seol-Ah was probably in a place where she could see the sunset.
If I was right, that place could be a cliff or the peak of the mountain, but in the mountain behind Gu Clan, there was only one place like that.
As I expected, on a hill where the sunset was visible, I saw soone.
Swish- Swoosh!
With the sound of a sword cutting through wind, a wooden sword swung in the air.
It looked like a swordplay, but to a martial artist, it was a poor swordplay that lacked any basics.
It was hard to call it a swordplay.
I heard that she was sword training.
But I didnt expect that she would swing a wooden sword.
Pause-
She noticed my presence.
Her movent, that seed unstoppable, paused and her gaze t mine.
Huh?
The one standing there was Wi Seol-Ah
And the one staring at was Wi Seol-Ah
But it felt harder to breathe for so reason.
Why is that?
Wi Seol-Ah had black hair with a hint of brown.
She didnt have the shining golden hair I saw in my past life and her eyes were obsidian-like black and not the golden eyes from my past life, but for so reason, I thought of Wi Seol-Ah in the past as I stared at her now.
Was it because the sun made her black hair brighter?
Yes, that must be why I was mistaken.
Uh, hi?
I greeted Wi Seol-Ah carefully.
Even waving my hand slightly.
It was a very loser-like greeting, but I couldnt think of another way to greet her.
Hello.
Thankfully, Wi Seol-Ah responded.
Her voice was deeper than before, but she responded.
Its been a while.
Yeah. About last ti, I was in a hurry-
She didnt seem mad, so I used the excuse that I prepared.
Young Master Gu.
And couldnt what?
I looked at Wi Seol-Ah without finishing my sentence.
