Episode 257
Discovery of Fire (1)
“Sir. “The guest sent by Moyonga has arrived.”
Yang Chen, who was sitting in the royal palace with his eyes closed, opened his mouth.
“Come on in.”
“yes.”
Kugugoogung!
The door opened and small, light footsteps sounded.
The corners of Yang Chen’s mouth rose.
‘Not bad.’
I heard that it is too early to retire.
Considering his age, he had accumulated considerable military skills. Although he is not considered an unrivaled genius and has never experienced actual combat, Ilshin’s martial arts skills were still acceptable considering he was from a prestigious family.
Sabak.
A subtle tension came out at the sound of clothes brushing against the edge of the stairs.
If it is natural, it is natural. It was an opportunity for a young late Jisoo to meet a member of the Seongcheon Thirteenth Place, a legend among the powerful men of his time. You can’t help but be nervous.
‘It’s different as expected.’
A bitterness appeared on Yang Chen’s face.
‘There was no other guy like him.’
The sound of Jeong’s footsteps was different from the very sound.
Although it was not without tension, it exuded a more confident sense of crisis than anyone else in the world. I felt a strong sense of pride, like a giant going to meet the emperor of a foreign country, as if he himself were another absolute being.
It was truly a feeling of great confidence. No matter how great one’s military power is, there are only a few people in the world who can show that level of strength when facing the Holy Twelve Thirteen Seas.
When I thought about that, I realized that it was an unprofitable business.
Jeong was a genius who, if raised well, would grow into a giant who would rule the world within ten years. However, it was doubtful whether the girl climbing the stairs would be able to discuss the world even if taught for thirty years, let alone ten.
‘I can’t help it.’
In the first place, he was a child who would serve as a bridge for connection with Moyong-gun. Since you are not your own person, there is nothing to be disappointed about.
Nevertheless, the fact that you feel regret probably means that the impression that Jeong gave you was that strong.
“Moyong Yeonhwa of the Moyong Family greets the King of the Black Island.”
Yang Chen opened his eyes.
There was a slender woman bowing down on the red carpet beneath the Taesa.
‘still.’
Calmness exudes from his voice.
Although he was nervous, he was a child who knew how to control himself well. His affection is so outstanding, but if you look at it objectively, that kid is also a talented person who deserves to be evaluated as outstanding.
Yang Cheon, who was quietly looking down at Mo Yong Yeon Hwa, finally opened his mouth.
“Raise your head.”
Mo Yong-yeon-hwa lifted her upper body.
Yang Chen’s eyes lit up.
‘hmm.’
Beautiful appearance was second.
The girl’s eyes looking up at her were quite confident. There was even a hint of anticipation in the clear black and white eyes.
‘…I see there was a reason why I said he was an outstanding child.’
People don’t know unless they see it in person.
Your eyes are better than you think. I have a lot of regrets about Jeong, but when I saw it in person, I couldn’t help but nod my head.
“I believe that your father knows about the situation so far.”
Mo Yong-Yeonhwa bowed her head.
“That’s right. “Even though I lack the capabilities, I will dedicate myself to the Mukryongbu.”
The corners of Yang Chen’s mouth rose. For some reason, a sense of playfulness arose.
“Have you even heard this? “If your father behaves even slightly suspiciously, you will die the most miserable death in the world.”
These were the words of Yang Cheon, the king of fighting in the world. It never sounded empty.
“I know that too.”
“is it?”
“I have many shortcomings, but I am also a talented person who has received recognition in his own way as the late Jisoo of Baekdo Moorim. “You know those things even if you don’t hear them.”
“Hoo.”
Mo Yong-Yeonhwa raised her head again and looked at Yang Chen.
Although he was suppressing it in his own way, Yangcheon’s presence was not at a level that could be prevented by blocking it. Nevertheless, Mo Yong Yeon Hwa was confidently looking straight into his eyes.
“I don’t know how the Vice Lord will view me, but I too have risked my life for my family. “I’m not stupid enough to come to a place that might be a graveyard without assuming the worst.”
“Is that so?”
“That’s right.”
“I’m curious. “How did your father convince you?”
“No persuasion was needed. “It’s just that my father needed me and I didn’t want to fail his expectations.”
“As you said, this place might become your graveyard. “Aren’t you scared?”
“Since you risked your life, you will learn a lot.”
“Ohh?”
Mo Yong-Yeonhwa smiled.
A smile made with effort. Cold sweat was forming on my forehead.
But for some reason, Yang Chen liked her awkward smile.
Yang Chen nodded.
“There were many hardships along the way. Rest at your place until I call you again.”
“thank you.”
“What did you say your name was?”
“It is called Yeonhwa Moyong Yeonhwa.”
“i get it. “Go away.”
Moyong Yeonhwa bowed politely and quickly retreated.
Yang Chen clenched his chin.
“…There are so many talented people in Baekdo.”

Byeoksan Love Story.
It was a famous martial arts family that appeared like a comet about 50 years ago, and although its power was small, it was a martial arts family that was evaluated as worthy of discussing the world with its martial arts and spirit of cooperation.
Whether white or black, Moorim is conservative in nature and is sensitive to the judgment of others.
It was truly an incredible feat to have made a name for himself as one of the best martial artists in the martial arts world in less than half a century.
Of course, even in Heukdo, I had no choice but to keep an eye on Byeoksan Love Story. Because the emerging power of the white island means the new enemy of the black island.
And Kang Ryang was the successor to a prestigious family that discussed the best of black islands. Of course, I had no choice but to know about Yeonga well.
‘I heard it, but.’
Yeon Ho-jeong said that he was the commander of the Murim Alliance’s Mortal Army and the son of the Byeoksan Yeonga. Since I joined the Murim Alliance, I naturally had no choice but to meet Yeongaju.
However, it was difficult to describe in words how I felt about actually meeting the head of the love family of whom there were so many rumors.
‘Judges and Prosecutors’ Office. The strongest swordsman in Gangdong and the leader of Yeonga’s ghost-like swordsmen!’
Kang Yang swallowed his saliva.
“What are you doing?”
Yeon Ho-jeong frowned.
“If I say hello first, isn’t it normal for you to say hello too?”
Kang Ryang suddenly came to his senses.
He ruled with moderation.
“It’s called Gangryang. “I…”
Kang Yang hesitated for a moment, then closed his eyes and spoke in a calm tone.
“He is the successor to the greatest sword gate of the Black Island, Guicheol Sword Gate, and the only survivor with ghost blood. “It is an honor to meet the matriarch of the Yeonga family.”
He originally planned not to reveal his affiliation.
But I changed my mind. Hiding one’s affiliation when facing such a giant was tantamount to ignoring the other person.
Furthermore, there was also an issue of self-esteem.
‘Even though I am the heir to the extinct Sword Gate, my pride has not died.’
How will it come out now?
How will the head of Byeoksan Yeonga, who is said to be a symbol of consensus, treat the successor of the Black Island First Swordsman?
“You had a lot of trouble on your journey.”
Kang Ryang’s eyes opened brightly.
I raised my head and saw Yeonwi.
Gangdong First Swordsman’s expression was very calm.
“I’ve only heard roughly what you’ve been talking about.”
“….”
“It would be difficult to say that I understand how you feel about losing your parents and siblings. However, since we have become so connected through my son, I hope that you can live comfortably in our residence, even though it is not my home.”
Kang Ryang’s eyes wavered.
Yeonwi smiled.
“By the way, Lord Swordsman taught your son well. I’ve never seen a reviewer who has learned such solid basics. “Even the eldest child is not as good as you.”
Yeon Ho-jeong grumbled.
“That’s a bit of an insult to one’s pride.”
“noisy. “How can you have solid fundamentals if you’ve been addicted to alcohol like that?”
“If possible, think of it as a penance to forget about the sword.”
“You speak well.”
I saw a tree with split ends.
“You seem to have a lot of distracting thoughts. In such cases, training is good, but getting a good rest can also be the answer.”
“…yes? ah! “Yes.”
“Stop bothering the poor tree and go home. “I don’t think I’ve even eaten, so let’s fill our bellies first.”
“ah! I’m fine. “Train a little more…”
“This is advice I’m giving as a senior in kendo, not as an elder. “Your strength seems to prioritize explosive output over stable flow, but if you swing it in such an unstable state, it will only ruin your senses.”
“…!”
Yeonwi said to Yeonhojeong.
“Abby, I will go first and tell my master. Please come together.”
“All right.”
Yeonwi turned and headed towards Pagungak.
Kang Ryang stared blankly at Yeon Wi’s back. The sight of him walking with his back to his back looked like that of a scholar who was well-versed in worldly affairs.
“What are you doing?”
Kang-ryang was surprised and looked at Yeon-ho-jeong.
Yeon Ho-jeong pointed at the sword with a sour face.
“Put the knife in the sheath, man. “Let’s just tidy up here and go.”
“…What happened?”
“what?”
It seemed like the surprise had not yet subsided. Kang-ryang said with a puzzled look on his face.
“How can you be so calm?”
“father?”
“exactly.”
“This is a funny guy. So what else is there to be nervous about? “Even if you attack with your skills, you’ll be killed in just one second.”
“No, that’s not it…”
Kang-ryang shook his head.
“I am the heir of Guicheolgeommun.”
“So what?”
“The sword that discussed the best of the Black Island is the Guicheol sword.”
“Oh what!”
“Isn’t Guicheolgeommun an obvious enemy to Byeoksan Yeonga?”
“Have you ever stabbed someone you know without me knowing?”
“No! That’s not what you’re saying! Black and white are obvious enemies! Even though it was extinct, the attitude of the practitioner’s father was so…!”
“Calm?”
“exactly!”
Yeon Ho-jeong twisted his head crookedly.
“Can’t I just be calm?”
“…?!”
“I told you in advance that we would be staying together from now on, but my father is a very frustrating person.”
“…to?”
“In other words, he is a person who pays attention to formalities. “If you don’t follow the rules, he glares at you and scolds you. He even scolds you when your son, who went to the river, can’t send you a letter because he’s busy with work.”
“Oops!”
“Still, there is one reason why I like my father.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“Father doesn’t lie.”
“…!”
“He is always sincere when dealing with people. Do you know what that means? This means that he is someone who sees and understands the essence of a person without being deceived by rumors.”
Kangryang unconsciously felt his fists gain strength.
Don’t be swayed by rumors. It was easy to say, but not everyone could do it.
“Father believes in me. And I brought you into the Murim Alliance. “Whether you are black or not, that is reason enough to respect you.”
“….”
“So stop talking nonsense and get it sorted out, you bastard. “I couldn’t stand it any longer and I smashed it.”
Yeon Ho-jeong grumbled and threw the torn off weeds and broken pieces of wood into the forest.
Kang Ryang followed Yeon Wi’s back with shaking eyes. Before we knew it, Yeonwi was far away.
‘…See the essence without being swayed by rumors.’
Yeon Ho-jeong screamed.
“What are you doing, man! “Why don’t you clean it up quickly?!”
“omg! “Oh, okay.”
Kang-ryang moved around as if his butt was on fire.
