Episode 399. Daebung and the field mouse
Son Ga-in could not bear to look at Snow White and lowered their heads.
Among the minor clans in the province, Hyun-ryeong is a more cautious opponent than the Chilpa-mun.
Chilpamun is far from pointless bullying because it follows the agreent.
However, the order was different.
They had an absolute position in the prefecture, but they were not righteous.
Isn’t there a saying that ‘harsh politics is scarier than a tiger’.
The words of the munpa who was stamped by the hyeonryeong were similar.
Moving to another area is a good thing. Most of them closed their doors without even having ti to do so.
Baek Seol-yeon patted Son Ga-in’s shoulder as she bowed her head.
“are you okay. Non-partisan secular disciples are also non-partisan. No one can touch a non-partisan disciple in Ten Words. It will be the sa for the prefecture.”
Of course, this is a vague guess.
So even Snow White couldn’t say anything.
Shall the non-partisan take off their feet and give it to the secular disciple?
It may or may not be.
The position of a secular disciple was originally like that.
No sect actively protects the disciple of the secular family. To that extent, the secular disciples are also free from the head mountain. At first glance, it seems fair, but in fact, it is more like neglect.
Son Ga-in listened to her words in silence.
She also knew Moorim’s physiology, so her heart was tight, but she didn’t show it.
At that ti, Baek Seol-yeon got lucky.
“It’s a kite priest.”
As the years passed, the friendship among the disciples of ‘Lu Dongbin’ was also quite solid. So, Baek Seol-yeon hoped that the feud between Yeon Nam-cheon and Son Ga-in would be resolved.
“Yes…”
Son Ga-in shrugged.
She had been criticizing him all this ti, so she knew what Seolyeon Baek was trying to say.
“I hope you get along well with him. If my younger sister cos to ‘Lu Dongbin’, I will beco his sister-in-law. Don’t you know how good the relationship between ‘Lu Dongbin’’s classmates is these days?”
Baek Seol-yeon did not openly apologize.
Looking at Son Ga-in’s face, it seed that there was no need to be so hard on her.
“…I apologize.”
“Yeah, well thought out. he’s such a great guy Spending ti with him makes feel how inadequate I am. Your brother will know too.”
“Will he forgive ?”
Son Ga-in looked at Baek Seol-yeon with a face without confidence.
So far, Baek Seol-yeon has not done anything wrong. It’s all about pushing it away from your heart and keeping your distance.
However, Yeonnamcheon is different.
He went around slandering Yeonnamcheon along with Manhwangju Cheon Sang-dong.
It didn’t stop even after the two left the Dragon Palace.
No, on the contrary, they criticized it more severely in spite of it.
However, Yeonnamcheon erged as the best magician in Oryonggung, and the trainees distanced themselves from him.
Then the sa thing happened today.
“Priest Yeon wouldn’t even know what his brother was talking about. Even if he knows, don’t worry. If he was offended, he would have already t his brother. I’m kind of sensitive about that. But you haven’t t It ans you either don’t know or you don’t care.”
“Then it’s fortunate…”
“Trust . If you want to achieve good results in the question-and-answer ceremony, shake off the burden in your heart.”
“yes.”
Son Ga-in nodded.
I wanted to be forgiven by him, not for the question and answer ceremony.
If I didn’t do that, I wouldn’t be able to take a single step forward.
***
Next day.
Soone called Yeon Jeok-ha, who was trudging back to his lodgings after attending the lecture in the morning.
“Yeon Sohyeop.”
Yeonjeokha returned.
She was a female practitioner of ‘Haseongo’.
He was soone I t at a restaurant from ti to ti, but never talked to.
“?”
“yes. I have sothing to tell you.”
“What is it?”
As Yeon Jeok-ha stared at him, Ga-in Son pointed to a secluded garden.
“It’s okay to talk here, but can I go over there for a while?”
“I see.”
Yeonjeokha strode to the shade of the tree.
I stared blankly at the mating female practitioner who had arrived in the shade.
There are about 200 practitioners of Palseongak.
Among them, there are only a few nas he knows.
No, except for ‘Leo Dong-bin’, he knew all the nas he knew were Manhwangju and Cheon Sang-dong.
Even though he beca famous, people still did not approach him because his face was burdenso.
When our eyes t, the female practitioner hurriedly lowered her gaze.
I didn’t mind doing it because it was a familiar thing.
“What is it?”
Son Ga-in, who hesitated for a mont, lowered his head and said.
“I looked for it because I wanted to apologize for what happened in the past. please forgive .”
“I don’t know what’s going on with that? I hope you can understand who Soje is and why he is saying that.”
Only then did Son Ga-in realize his mistake.
I was so embarrassed that I didn’t even know that everything important was omitted.
“My na is Son Ga-in, a disciple of Ten Eon Cheongsanmun. The first ti I ca to Ohryonggung…”
She confessed that she had been at the forefront of Yeonnamcheon’s slander.
Yeonjeokha scratched his head.
They said that Manhwangju and Cheon Sang-dong were nowhere to be seen these days, so they seed to have left.
Strangely, I was more curious about the recent situation of the two than the gossip.
Maybe it was because they were the first people I got to know after coming to Ohryonggung.
“…I was blinded by the sense of qualifications and envy, so I went around saying things like that. please forgive .”
Son Ga-in lowered her head.
Looking at the ocher-colored ground, I felt very ashad of my current situation.
I didn’t co to Ohryonggung for this.
When I thought of the family and alumni I left behind at Cheongsanmun Gate, tears suddenly started to flow.
“That’s not wrong. What?”
“yes?”
At the unexpected words, Ga-in Son raised her head.
The tears that had ford in the wind flowed down his cheeks.
“I didn’t say that those two didn’t exist. When I first ca to Wulong Palace, I didn’t know anything. Those two people approached and told about this and that. Among them, there was also a question and answer ceremony. I didn’t know anything about Taoism, so I paid money to buy the question-and-answer information.”
“…”
Son Ga-in looked at Yeonnamcheon with dazzled eyes.
Manhwangju and Cheon Sangdong said that Yeonnamcheon was caught selling questions and answers.
Excluding what they did and blaming Yeonnamcheon for everything!
“If it had ended, it wouldn’t have been a big deal. But before I saw it, I thought about it. So I also sold the information to soone else at a low price. haha.”
Laughing shyly.
Back then, I hated Manhwangju and Cheon Sangdong, but now that I think about it, it’s not a big deal.
Son Ga-in blankly stared at Yeonnamcheon.
This is the first ti anyone has ever spoken and thought like this.
I heard that the virtuosos think differently, but seeing it in person gave goosebumps.
Not in a bad way, but because I felt the thrill.
It was as if he could hear the sound of his own beating heart.
She seed to know why Seolyeon Baek had said that to her last night.
She thought, ‘I want to be this person’s sister-in-law’.
I wanted to stay with him in ‘Leo Dongbin’.
Suddenly, Baek Seol-yeon’s words ca to mind.
-Yeonnamcheon is a great river. The n my brother t are deuljwa who live in the thicket. They just saw the shadow of Daebung fluttering on the ground and said this and that on their own.
right.
They weren’t the only field mice, they were field mice themselves.
However, now that I know that there is such a daebung flying over my head, it will change now.
Son Ga-in wiped away the tears with the back of her hand and spoke in a determined tone.
“Yeon So-hyup, I will work hard and rise to ‘Leo Dong-bin’. I definitely will.”
“is it so. Then, let’s et at ‘Leo Dongbin’.”
It’s ti for Yeon Jeok-ha to leave after leaving words of encouragent.
Son Ga-in hurriedly called, as if belatedly thinking about it.
“ah! Yeonsohyup.”
“yes?”
“Even if they are the sa class disciple, the nad disciple will be a bit different, right?”
“In which part?”
“The relationship between the main mountain and the secular disciples is a bit ambiguous. I think Gimyeong disciples will be treated a little more like Bonsan disciples.”
“I heard that. why?”
Yeon Jeok-ha looked at Son Ga-in with puzzled eyes.
I couldn’t understand why a cultivator who was not a secular disciple would ask such a question.
“Actually… I’ve had so embarrassing things.”
Son Ga-in was ashad to death, but she told about the quarrel at the outpatient clinic last night.
It happened to save myself, so I want to help sohow.
Yeonjeokha, who had been listening quietly, narrowed her eyes.
Traditionally, green forests hate governnt officials.
Among the masters of the green forest, there were many who entered the mountain after fighting the Hyeonryeong.
The number of people who escaped the tyranny of the prefectural governnt beca slash-and-burn people and then beca bandits.
There was such a person among the bandits in Obong Sanchae.
For that reason, to Yeonjeokha, the prefecture was a ‘madou appointed by the state’.
His way of dealing with people is simple.
reciprocation (報應).
In other words, it pays back according to cause and effect.
Giving back what he had done was righteousness and prudence to him.
“So, among the trainees, there is the eldest son of Juksan-hyeon. You an he’s going to bully Sister Baek? Is that because of the prefectural decree?”
“You said that with your own mouth. He said having good parents is also a skill.”
“Wow, the bilateral cub.”
Imdiately, curse words ca out of Yeon Jeok-ha’s mouth, but Son Ga-in was not surprised.
It was nothing compared to confessing that he had acted as an impostor in the Palace of the Dragon.
“My sister said she would help at the shamanist faction, but Bonsan doesn’t take care of the secular disciples. If the Yeonsohyeop said sothing, I was wondering if the shaman would show interest…”
“That’s not sothing a shaman would do.”
When Yeon Jeok-ha drew a line, Son Ga-in’s face darkened.
I hoped for his help in my heart, but when I cut it like a knife, my head beca white and empty.
“The sister-in-law’s job is my job. I’ll finish it before the nonpartisans even step out.”
“ah!”
Son Ga-in looked at Yeonnamcheon with an excited face.
I knew it!
His thoughts about him were not wrong.
Sister-in-law’s job is my job!
There is another reason why I want to join ‘Yo Dongbin’.
“By the way… are you okay? The opponent is the lord of Juksan-hyeon.”
Even though Yeonnamcheon is the best magician in Oryonggung, his limits are clear.
Wouldn’t the na of a shaman rather than a sorcerer work against the Hyeonryung?
Yeonjeokha said to her who was anxious.
“There is nothing in this world that a sorcerer cannot do. Master Baekun said, ‘Believe in yourself’. I also believe in ‘I can do it’. That’s enough.”
After those words, he continued to walk with a continual spell.
Son Ga-in could not take her eyes off the back of Yeonjeok-ha, who was moving away.
What a calm force!
My heart felt like it was going to explode with overwhelming emotion.
She whispered softly in case anyone would hear.
“The death penalty. See you in ‘Leo Dongbin’.”
It was a promise I made to myself.
I was happy just to call him ‘death penalty’ in secret.
Eventually, Son Ga-in raised his head and looked up at the blue sky.
Just as Seolyeon Baek said, taking off her luggage, she is so relieved that she is about to fly away.
It’s when she is thrilled.
“Hands up. Were you here? You didn’t even know that, and you looked for it for a long ti.”
The face of Son Ga-in, who was excited with dreams and hopes for the future, hardened for an instant.
