Childhood Friend of the Zenith – 311 (Part 2)



311 (Part 2)

“Wait a minute. Fiancée?”

I blurted it out in a moment of anger.

There was strange information mixed in.

A fiancée for Jang-ryong?

“Was he engaged?”

I didn’t remember that being the case.

I had never heard such a story in my past life. Moreover

“He’s a Taoist.”

Could a Taoist from a sect get married?

Of course there are Taoists who can but…

If he were a shaman that wouldn’t be right…?

In the midst of all these thoughts swirling around.

Jang-ryong called me while looking blank.

“Aren’t you going in?”

Jang-ryong spoke while looking at the door that opened into thin air.

Seeing that I replied as if I couldn’t believe it.

“…Why do you want to go in?”

“I opened it.”

I had to shut my mouth at Jang-ryong’s words.

It was somewhat true so I couldn’t refute it.

In the late night.

The woman standing quietly in the wide field recalled the voice of a young man she had heard once.

– Would you not make a deal with me?

As she smiled and spoke those words.

When the woman was filled with doubt.

– What kind of deal are you talking about?

– I don’t know how you know but it seems our goals are the same.

The brother of her disciple.

The one who saved her life the righteous one.

The woman the sword master had to hide her surprise inside.

Because the words he spoke were filled with conviction.

Did he know what he wanted and spoke like that?

The sword master felt doubt but at the same time if what that child said was true.

‘How does that child know that?’

A question arose.

Somewhere here there were traces left by those from the past.

The hero of Mount Hwasan one of the five heroes who stopped the blood calamity.

The person the sword master respected next to Maehwa-seon.

It was said that the precious item of the sword master Shin-cheol was hidden.

‘I must find it.’

The sword master was not someone who took an interest in precious items or ancestral relics.

He had continuously taught not to show interest in things that were lost and scattered.

The sword master himself also thought that instead of spending time on such things it was more important to train his sword or save those in danger.

However.

– Maehwa stone.

– Find it.

– Then you will be able to find a clue.

It was said that the Maehwa stone was hidden somewhere in Sinryonggwan.

Why such a precious item was hidden not in the secret of Mount Hwasan but in the center of Henan in Sinryonggwan was a mystery.

Nevertheless the sword master had to find it.

Even in a situation where he didn’t know whether it was true or not.

‘For Cheon-hee’s sake.’

If it was a matter related to his deceased friend.

He could do anything.

In such a situation the one who suddenly brought up that they had the same goal was none other than.

The son of his friend.

Could this all be a coincidence?

Unlike his own child the sword master had not been able to take care of him.

The child who had endured alone in the family struggling.

Yet he had grown strong and radiant speaking like that.

‘What does that child know?’

He wanted to ask.

What do you know?

There was a clear difference compared to other descendants.

The sword master also knew well yet he refrained from asking.

It was probably because that child hoped he wouldn’t ask.

So he wouldn’t ask this time either.

– It seems you need my help.

The sword master did not deny it.

The child was already convinced.

At least he thought he could trust that child.

It was a choice made solely out of faith.

– Yes.

– What can I gain from this?

– You must have come hoping for something so if your goal is where I am looking I will bring it to you.

He didn’t engage in petty arguments like how could he trust him or not to lie.

He thought they weren’t in a relationship that required such things.

– …If what I need overlaps with what you need?

Since it was something he couldn’t concede.

This part was the most important.

After a moment of thought at the sword master’s words Gu Yang-cheon quickly replied.

– That won’t happen but if it does I will concede.

. . .

At the firm words.

The sword master also showed a moment of contemplation and nodded.

– What must I do?

The sword master asked.

Gu Yang-cheon explained about it.

And so today came.

On a night when a bleak wind was blowing.

The sword master took a deep breath and waited for the target.

Not long after that wait.

Woo-ooong-!

The sword master felt someone entering piercing through the thick barrier he had set.

“Master.”

With a righteous voice and an unknown scent of the sea.

A refreshing energy brushed past the sword master.

As soon as he felt the presence the sword master took a bow.

“I greet the Principal.”

“You called this old man out in the middle of the night. It must be urgent.”

Cheonghae Il-gum.

The one who came to find the sword master was none other than Cheonghae Il-gum.

The old man had responded to the sword master’s call.

“…I know this is an impolite action. I apologize once again.”

“That’s fine. I also had business with you so it’s okay.”

At Cheonghae Il-gum’s words.

The sword master slightly raised his gaze and looked at Cheonghae Il-gum.

Because the mention of business caught his attention.

“You had business with me?”

“I was thinking of visiting you separately around tomorrow. But I’m glad this meeting happened instead.”

Was it about the red magic barrier he had heard about last time?

If that was the case it was fortunate from the sword master’s perspective.

Gu Yang-cheon’s request was.

Since the formations happened to be near the Principal’s office.

He had asked to call Cheonghae Il-gum from a distance if possible.

In response the sword master had been waiting for Cheonghae Il-gum while thickening the barrier.

In such a situation not only did he call Cheonghae Il-gum but he also had to keep him around for a while.

On the contrary since Cheonghae Il-gum said he had business with the sword master it was a comfortable situation.

While the sword master was organizing his thoughts in that position.

Cheonghae Il-gum looked at the sword master and spoke.

“You must know.”

Cheonghae Il-gum initiated the conversation first.

The sword master had not yet spoken.

“What are you talking about?”

Well the order didn’t matter so.

The sword master responded to Cheonghae Il-gum’s words.

“That ‘child’s’ child has entered the sect.”

Kyu

At the words that popped out of Cheonghae Il-gum’s mouth.

The sword master momentarily lost his composure and frowned.

“I thought you would know as it is the child you cherished more than anyone.”

“Is that… a problem?”

“Not at all. It’s not a problem. It’s just a child.”

A lot of time had passed.

There wouldn’t be more than ten fingers of people who remembered his friend.

And soon even that would disappear.

“Do you still remember that child?”

“Of course.”

“I see.”

At the sword master’s words Cheonghae Il-gum briefly showed a lonely expression before bringing up another topic.

“Then let me ask differently.”

“…Yes.”

“Do the children know about their mother?”

“”

As soon as Cheonghae Il-gum brought it up.

The sword master’s expression changed strangely as if he didn’t understand what he was saying.

Seeing that Cheonghae Il-gum let out a low sigh and stroked his beard.

“My words were wrong. It seems you don’t know so…”

“…Sect Leader what are you talking about right now?”

“Perhaps I’ve become too old and my tongue has become loose. I feel quite comfortable in this regard.”

“Sect Leader!”

The sword master raised his voice to cut off Cheonghae Il-gum’s rambling.

He knew it was impolite behavior.

But this wasn’t the time to worry about that.

And Cheonghae Il-gum did not take issue with the sword master’s attitude.

“This is something those foolish ones didn’t stop me from saying. It must be the price I have to pay.”

“…Sect Leader I cannot understand what you are saying. What do you mean?”

“Before that let me bring up one thing.”

As the sword master had spread the barrier.

Woo-ooong-!

An even larger barrier was layered over it thickening it.

It was Cheonghae Il-gum’s energy.

As the sword master was momentarily taken aback by the sudden energy.

Cheonghae Il-gum looked at the sword master and opened his mouth again.

“Cheon-hee.

Like petals from the sky.

Gently swaying suddenly coming down.

Just as when she first revealed her existence before the sword master.

“That child is not dead.”

Once again she caused a great upheaval in the sword master.
