Record of the Dragon Chapter 56

Moyong Gi, who had entered the Guardian Pavilion, looked around. However, when he couldn't catch the presence he wanted, his face contorted.

"Did this one already run away?"

If he had known this would happen, he should have just caught him. It was a mistake to leave him alone, thinking that the conversation with Hong Sochen would not be that long.

Moyong Gi, who was his face contorted for a mont, soon shook his head.

"I suppose he's a Dragon and Phoenix Inn student..."

It didn't seem like there would be any particular problem. Even if he had watched the duel with Johwasim, if he didn't want to die, he wouldn't carelessly speak of it.

"Aish, I don't know."

And then, he moved his feet again and headed for his own training room. However, as he got closer to the training room, a noisy sound was heard.

"Did sothing happen again?"

Moyong Gi's steps quickened a little. Moyong Gi, who was entering the training room with a face full of questions, could confirm the children who were divided into two groups and standing.

"What are you guys doing?"

To be precise, it was one against five. The other children were aiming their weapons at Myung Jin.

"You ca just in ti. Stop that guy. I think that guy is crazy."

At So Moogyeol's words, Moyong Gi looked at Myung Jin. Fortunately, the bleeding had stopped, perhaps because he had received treatnt in ti.

"Why you again?"

At Moyong Gi's question, Myung Jin just his face contorted. Woonhyun, who was next to him, answered for him.

"That guy says he's going to eat a spiritual dicine."

"Wow."

Moyong Gi let out a hollow laugh with a look of disbelief. However, Myung Jin bit his lip.

"I can do it too."

There are always guys like this. They have to taste it to know if it's poop or soybean paste.

Moyong Gi clicked his tongue and opened his mouth.

"So? What are you going to eat?"

At Moyong Gi's question, Myung Jin took out a hundred-year-old fleeceflower root from his bosom.

"Huh? That's?"

"My master gave it to

and left."

Moyong Gi sighed.

'They say you shouldn't even drink water carelessly in front of a child.'

He felt it once again, but there was nothing wrong with the old sayings.

Moyong Gi shook his head and opened his mouth.

"Don't eat it. You'll really die."

However, Myung Jin had no intention of backing down at all.

"I can do it too."

Moyong Gi had a troubled face.

'Should I just snatch it away?'

However, that was not the answer either. If he left him alone, he was a guy who would get it sohow and eat it.

It was better to cause trouble in front of him. If he did such a thing in secret, there would be no ti to take action.

Moyong Gi, who was using his head for a mont, snapped his fingers as if a thought had struck him.

"Ah. That should do it."

And then, he fumbled and took sothing out from his bosom.

Tang Somun's eyes sparkled.

"Huh? That's?"

So Moogyeol showed curiosity.

"Why? What's that?"

Tang Somun hesitated for a mont and then soon opened his mouth.

"The Golden Toad's Poison Pellet."

"What? That's?"

So Moogyeol's eyes widened. The other children were the sa. All eyes were on the Golden Toad's Poison Pellet.

Moyong Gi grinned and drew his sword. And then, he gently scraped the Golden Toad's Poison Pellet with the tip of his sword and took off just as much as the dirt under his fingernail.

Moyong Gi, with a satisfied face, held out the tip of his sword to Myung Jin.

"What's this?"

"The Golden Toad's Poison Pellet. Didn't you hear?"

"Why are you giving this to ..."

"Just try eating it. If you think it's okay after eating it, you can eat the hundred-year-old fleeceflower root."

Myung Jin's face contorted. It was because he felt like he was being ignored. However, Tang Somun was startled and his body trembled.

"Hey, you punk! This is really dangerous!"

"Aish. This much is fine."

"It's not fine! You'll really die!"

A poison pellet was a lump of poison. If used well, it had the effect of increasing internal energy, but if used incorrectly, you would just die. Moreover, the thod of using it was also difficult. So, unless it was the Tang family or the Poison Valley, they did not dare to use it.

In particular, the Golden Toad's Poison Pellet was particularly toxic. Even a small piece was quite dangerous.

Myung Jin looked back and forth between Moyong Gi and the tip of his sword.

"If I absorb this, can I eat the hundred-year-old fleeceflower root?"

"Do as you please. Just eat it first. Eat it and then talk."

Moyong Gi held out the tip of his sword a little more.

"Hey, don't do it! It's really not...!"

As Tang Somun urgently tried to stop him, Myung Jin had already bitten it.

"Huh? Huh?"

Tang Somun looked at Myung Jin with a flustered face. Myung Jin looked at Moyong Gi as if it were nothing.

"Is it done now?"

"Now, circulate your ki."

"Here? But..."

Myung Jin looked around. There were too many people. Circulating ki in a place like this was dangerous.

"Don't worry. I'll make them quiet on my own."

Myung Jin, who was eting Moyong Gi's eyes for a while, in the end nodded.

"I understand."

And then, he sat down on the spot and sat in a cross-legged position.

As Moyong Gi was staring at that, So Moogyeol tugged on his collar.

"Why?"

So Moogyeol's eyes could not leave the Golden Toad's Poison Pellet in Moyong Gi's hand.

"They say that's so good for a man's body."

There was a superstition that poison was good for a man's body. That's why n were so crazy about snake wine.

However, Tang Somun looked at So Moogyeol with a look of disbelief. And then, he looked at Myung Jin, who was sitting in a cross-legged position, and lowered his voice.

"Hey. You'll really die."

However, Moyong Gi waved his hand. And then, he looked at So Moogyeol and chuckled.

"Do you want to try it too?"

So Moogyeol's face lit up.

"Really? Can I?"

"Of course. How much is that. I'm not that petty a guy."

And then, he drew his sword again and scraped the Golden Toad's Poison Pellet. The piece that ca off was a little bigger than what he had fed Myung Jin.

"Oh my. What's all this..."

As So Moogyeol's face lit up and he opened his mouth, a thud was heard from the side.

"Huh?"

So Moogyeol reflexively turned his gaze. Myung Jin, whose face had turned black, was clutching his chest and writhing on the floor.

"Gasp!"

"Huh? Why is he...?"

However, So Moogyeol could not finish his words. It was because sothing had slipped into So Moogyeol's mouth.

So Moogyeol, without realizing it, swallowed hard and looked for Moyong Gi.

"Huh? This is...?"

"You said you wanted to eat it too."

"Huh? Huh? Gi, you bastard!"

So Moogyeol, with a flustered face, wandered on the spot.

Moyong Gi grinned.

"It would be better to carry Myung Jin and go find Elder Tang Hwagi quickly. That poison spreads quickly."

So Moogyeol's face turned pale.

"Aish!"

And then, as he was about to run, Moyong Gi's sword blocked So Moogyeol's front.

"Ah, really! Why again?"

Moyong Gi gestured with his chin at Myung Jin, who was rolling on the floor.

"Carry him and go."

So Moogyeol looked back and forth between Myung Jin and Moyong Gi and then gritted his teeth in an instant. And then, he lifted Myung Jin and started to run.

"Moyong Gi, you bastard!"

Moyong Gi, while watching So Moogyeol's back as he ran out shouting at the top of his lungs, let out a faint laugh.

"So Moogyeol, you bastard, just try to run away again."

Since it was a quiet training room, Moyong Gi's voice was clearly heard. The remaining children swallowed hard.

"You've co?"

"Yes, Alliance Leader. By the way, what brings you here? Calling

at this hour."

"Oh, this person. Do I have to have a reason to call you?"

"That's not it, but."

It was Jinsan, who often looked for Hwang Gwon even without a particular reason.

However, it was quite late now.

"But you've never called

at this hour without a reason, have you? Unless it's Yuhwa of the Honghwa Pavilion."

At Hwang Gwon's joke, Jinsan let out a faint laugh. And then, he lifted the wine bottle.

"Take it. It's white wine from Jiangnan."

Hwang Gwon, who had received the wine, drank it in one gulp. Unlike the strong wine of Jiangbei, the sweet taste was excellent.

"Ah. It's good."

"Right? It cost quite a bit of money to get this."

Jinsan chuckled and lifted the wine bottle again.

"Have another glass."

"Thank you."

However, this ti, he did not bring the glass to his lips and just put it down.

Thump.

"Huh? Why aren't you drinking?"

"This is surprisingly strong. I'll listen to what you have to say first and then drink."

It was not sothing to be taken lightly just because it was sweet. The mont you drank one glass, your stomach heated up. It was a surprisingly strong wine.

"This person, what's wrong with getting a little drunk?"

"Do I not know you, Alliance Leader? It should be once or twice. Isn't it you, Alliance Leader, who gets

drunk and then asks for a difficult favor?"

Thanks to that, he had been in a difficult situation more than once or twice. Of course, even if he had asked him when he was sober, he would have probably granted most of them.

However, there were also things he could not handle. Such things mostly made the people around him uncomfortable. So he wanted to avoid them as much as possible.

Jinsan let out a groan. Hwang Gwon chuckled and continued.

"What is it? Please tell ."

Jinsan looked at Hwang Gwon's eyes for a while and then suddenly opened his mouth.

"Moyong Gi."

Hwang Gwon's face contorted. He thought it was a good thing that he hadn't drunk the wine.

"You an Gi? What about that guy?"

"That guy didn't look for ."

"Yes? Is that true?"

Jinsan nodded and lifted his glass. Hwang Gwon stared at that and then, as Jinsan put down his glass, he finally opened his mouth.

"Alliance Leader."

"Why?"

"I believe you know that I follow you, Alliance Leader, with loyalty."

"Of course."

If not, there was no reason for a stubborn person like Hwang Gwon to put his foot in the mud and get his hands dirty.

"But you also know that the guy I like as much as you, Alliance Leader, is Moyong So, right?"

"Co to think of it... let

ask you this ti. What's so good about that guy? Are you gay?"

Hwang Gwon let out a faint laugh.

"Of course not."

"Then what's the reason? What's your relationship with that guy, Moyong So?"

Jinsan was genuinely curious. He couldn't understand the reason why Hwang Gwon was so protective of Moyong So.

"That's..."

Hwang Gwon, who was hesitating with his words trailing off, soon shook his head.

"Why? Can't you tell

either?"

"It's not that I can't tell you, but it's sothing that won't do you any good to know, Alliance Leader."

"Who judged that? It's not that guy, Moyong So's judgnt, is it?"

"It's my judgnt."

Jinsan's face contorted.

Since it was Hwang Gwon's judgnt, it was difficult to argue further. It was because he knew that Hwang Gwon would never do anything that would harm him.

"Alliance Leader."

"Yes."

"I will ask you one thing."

Jinsan readily nodded.

"Go ahead."

"Is what you need, Alliance Leader, Moyong Gi? Or is it the children of the Nine Sects One Gang and the Five Great Families who have flocked around that guy?"

Jinsan hesitated for a mont. However, he soon t Hwang Gwon's eyes and opened his mouth.

"Both."

"Is that true?"

"Yes. To be precise, the children of the Nine Sects One Gang and the Five Great Families are more important. But it is also true that I want Moyong Gi."

Hwang Gwon sighed.

"Why didn't you just lie?"

Jinsan smiled bitterly.

"My whole life is a lie. But shouldn't I tell the truth to soone?"

"Is that ?"

"If you don't like it, tell . I'll just lie in front of you too."

Hwang Gwon let out a faint laugh. And then, he lifted his glass and drank it in one gulp. And then, after fidgeting with his glass, he opened his mouth after a long ti.

"I will call Gi and talk to him well. However, I will not force that guy."

It was not an answer that Jinsan was very pleased with. However, this much was a reasonable compromise from Hwang Gwon's perspective. Jinsan nodded.

"Thank you."
