Childhood Friend of the Zenith – 480 (Part 2)

480 (Part 2)
“Very disgustingly indeed.
“Why should my grandfather decide where I should be? I repeat I am a shaman’s person.”
“You don’t even properly respect the value of a person. Is it good for a shaman to be thrown out like this?”
“… Hah.”
A sigh escapes my lips unable to be contained.
“I don’t know how much you’ve given that allows you to speak like this.”
“…”
It seems that Cheonjon had no words for this part.
In reality Namgung-hyung had lived in the Namgung Clan during his childhood treated worse than a dog.
“Why don’t you just kill me and ask for the brain to be returned?”
“Huh how could a grandfather do something terrible to his grandson?”
“Shit a gentleman who has never treated me like a grandson keeps talking nonsense. You must be getting senile.”
Hehe.
Namgung-hyung’s words crossed the line causing Cheonjon’s brow to slightly furrow but he endured it.
“If I return to the clan now do you think the Sword King will come out? Does that man know what grandfather is doing?”
“Don’t worry about it. The important thing is that you are the one Hyung.”
“Don’t say not to worry. A person’s life is at stake.”
Even if by some chance Namgung-hyung could return to the Namgung Clan.
Would Namgung-jin there easily accept this?
He was already a person whose position was not properly established because of Namgung-hyung. It seemed absolutely unlikely.
Let alone the Namgung-jin that Namgung-hyung remembered.
In response to this Cheonjon said
“If you just set your mind right.”
He looked at Namgung-hyung and said
“I am even considering making you the Clan Head not Jin.”

“…”
Namgung-hyung’s eyes widened for a moment at the somewhat shocking statement.
The implication that he could be given the position of Clan Head upon returning to the Namgung Clan.
This meant that the influence of the Namgung Clan was still greater with Cheonjon than with the Sword King.
If he wished it meant he could easily change the Clan Head.
“Haha.”
Upon hearing this Namgung-hyung laughed.
He felt relieved.
“Indeed I am grateful that you are still the same. Grandfather.”
It continuously reassured him that the choices he made in the past were not wrong; how could he not be thankful?
“You are still not very human.”
Namgung-hyung retracted his smile and extended his hand to Cheonjon saying
“Shut up.”
“…”
“Even if my arms and legs are cut off and I die I will not return to that house.”
Crack.
Was it that Namgung-hyung had finally reached his limit with his words?
An uncomfortable sound came from Cheonjon’s body.
Was he thinking of drawing his sword?
That wouldn’t be bad. If he wished he could fight as much as he wanted.
Though I wonder if the brain would wish for that.
At the moment Namgung-hyung was trying to raise his momentum first.
Whoosh.
Cheonjon turned his back on Namgung-hyung.
“… I will take my leave for today.”
With those nonchalant words Namgung-hyung spat on the ground.
“Don’t come again. I will hide again.”
“When we meet again I hope you will give a different answer.”
Crack.
Was that really the end of the conversation?
Cheonjon burst into a flash and disappeared before Namgung-hyung.
In the silence that was regained Namgung-hyung casually stuffed the remaining food into his mouth.
“I guess I should meet my disciple somewhere else.”
The disciple he had hinted would come in the future.
He decided he would have to go somewhere other than here to meet him. Namgung-hyung resolved this way.
Meeting his disciple here would only add another unpleasant memory which would make him feel bad.

Body Transformation Technique.
A martial art that can change not only the human body but even gender.
A power he acquired through a phrase gifted by Dang Je-mun.
This was a power that was quite helpful for me now.
After going to another realm my body shape and appearance had changed.
And since it seemed that not much time had passed in the original world it was difficult to explain the changed appearance.
Thanks to this I was able to hide it.
‘There is a bit of hesitation but it’s not bad.’
From my experience aside from the fact that maintaining the changed body consumes a lot of energy and is somewhat taxing.
There didn’t seem to be any major issues.
‘What a fascinating power.’
Of course the difference between using it and not using it is significant but this level is bearable.
However.
‘I don’t think my gender will change.’
Changing gender as Dang Je-mun did was impossible.
Whether it was because I still didn’t know how to use it to that extent or because Dang Je-mun didn’t pass it on I couldn’t say.
‘This doesn’t matter much.’
In fact I had no desire to become a woman so it wasn’t a problem.
Right now I was just grateful. This was also a miraculous encounter.
‘Unfortunately this remains unchanged.’
This was in reference to my hands.
The biggest anomaly caused by the change in my body.
My left arm covered in blue scales from shoulder to fingertip unfortunately did not change even with the Body Transformation Technique.
It seemed to be getting smaller.
But I couldn’t get rid of the scales themselves.
‘Tsk.’
The blue bandages wrapped around my arm were hiding it but I couldn’t help but be concerned.
Ah and there was one more very important thing.
Shhh-!
I nodded at the little creature making a sound from my bosom.
‘This is the most fortunate part.’
The fact that the Body Transformation Technique applied not only to me but also to the adversary.
Due to the change in species it had grown too large to hide and I was worried about what to do with the adversary.
The fact that I could also make this creature smaller with the Body Transformation Technique was a significant advantage.
This way I could hide it back in my bosom again.
‘The important thing is to figure it out later….’
There were many other things I needed to test but.
For now I wanted to wrap this up and finish it.
There were too many issues to figure out in the current situation.
“… Mister what did you just say?”
A voice asking as if it couldn’t believe what it heard. The tone was slightly trembling revealing how flustered he was and I couldn’t help but chuckle slightly.
“Please repeat. What did you just say?”
“… No what.”
Was he angry at my reaction? The man’s expression gradually twisted.
The man was the Poison King the head of the Tang Clan.
I was facing the Poison King in the Clan Head’s office.
There were matters regarding the lake and other things that needed to be discussed.
What did he just say?
Did he ask me to repeat it?
That wasn’t particularly difficult.
The problem was….
“I feel like I need to kill the Elders of the Tang Clan. Is that alright?”
What I blurted out was quite a strange statement.
As expected.
The expression of the Poison King darkened upon hearing my words and a killing intent began to emanate in the room.
