Unmanned Values ​​(2)

“Whoa, that’s frustrating.”

The face of Yeon Ji-pyeong, who hugged her knees together, looked very depressed.

“Am I wrong?”

Yeon Ji-pyeong was frustrated.

Having lived by the rules and teachings of Yeonga all his life, he was greatly shocked by his brother’s behavior at Choseongru two days ago.

‘older brother.’

Yeon Ji-pyeong recalled Yeonho-jeong that day.

His eyes were so cold that even the northern wind and cold snow would startle him and run away. The older brother’s indifference, who showed no sign even when the person fighting the wicked was in danger.

In the end, the older brother went to help the Zhuge siblings, but until then, he hadn’t shown any behavior worthy of being called a white man.

Results don’t matter, there are some people who say what’s the problem. However, in Yeonjipyung’s standard, the process was just as important as the result.

I don’t know what my brother was thinking, but his actions at that time were definitely wrong.

So Yeon Ji-pyeong was confused. He’s an older brother who once gave him a hard time, but he never thought of his older brother as a bad person.

Rather, I thought of him as a good and weak person. He had a lot of regrets for his thoughtless actions that frustrated his older brother.

‘Yes, there must have been some circumstances. I was being beaten by the wicked… … If it wasn’t for his own circumstances, there’s no way my brother would have done that.’

Yes. It was embarrassing, but I managed to understand it somehow.

However, the appearance of his brother when he killed the arsonist and the stable was truly shocking.

‘It was so terrible.’

Thinking of that time, Yeon Ji-pyeong felt goose bumps once again.

After overpowering the opponent with great martial arts, the older brother grabbed him by the collar and dragged him to the front of the flames.

A cold act of throwing the wicked into the fire with an expressionless face.

‘Leaving a person alive… … .’

Even after killing him so brutally, he didn’t seem to be shocked at all.

I don’t know if there was even a hint of refreshing. The look in his older brother’s eyes as he watched the dying stall was the height of insensitivity.

Even if you look at the stones scattered on the street, you will not see it so ruthlessly. That action, look, and atmosphere were a huge shock to Yeon Ji-pyeong.

‘older brother. Are you really the older brother I know?’

now i don’t know what is

Yeon Ji-pyeong, who had been burying his face in his knees for a long time, sighed and stood up.

“You are stupid.”

If you have any questions, you can ask them, and if there are misunderstandings, you can clear them up. It wasn’t something that could be solved by worrying anyway. Yeon Ji-pyeong wanted to visit Yeon Ho-jeong and have a conversation.

Yeon Ji-pyeong, who was walking to the place where the party was, suddenly found the two men and women walking away.

‘uh? older brother?’

He was a child of his older brother and the Jegal family.

‘Where are you going?’

Yeon Ji-pyeong, who hesitated for a moment, followed the two of them.

how long has it been like that

“This should be enough.”

“… … .”

“I have a question for you.”

“Ah yes!”

are you going to ask

Yeon Ji-pyeong’s face was filled with curiosity. Normally, she would have been repulsed by the act of eavesdropping on someone else’s conversation, but now she looked at it as if possessed.

“How much do you know about your family?”

“yes?”

Yeon Ho-jung’s eyes flashed.

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes, shining bright blue in the dark forest, were frightening like phosphorescence. Jegal Ah-yeon sucks without even realizing it! and breathed in.

“At that time, the martial arts you used when fighting the arsonist was truly unusual.”

“That, that… … .”

“When you look at the level of martial arts, even if it was a secret technique, it was not inferior. It’s just that your intelligence level was low, but the perfection of martial arts was very outstanding.”

“… … .”

“If it’s not the next family head, there’s no way even blood or blood could easily pass on such martial arts.”

Jegal Ayeon’s neck turned slightly red.

“What the practitioner said was that I stole martial arts and learned them?”

“I’m not saying that.”

“then… … ?”

“It means that the Jegalsega possessed a number of martial arts skills that could be handed down to non-heirs as well.”

Jegal Ayeon tilted her head.

It was difficult to understand the intent of the question. Do you have multiple martial arts? Of course, at the age of Zhuge, he possesses hundreds of martial arts.

“Speak easier. Does your family have martial arts of a different species?”

“This species is… … ?”

“It’s a true feat, but there must be martial arts that have never been shown in the midfield.”

Even if you ask such a question, it will be fine if the person concerned does not answer honestly. However, Yeon Ho-jeong did not expect that the other person would tell the truth in the first place.

He sees only one thing.

opponent’s eyes.

Having been betrayed immeasurably and nearly killed countless times, his discernment, trained in the life of a black swordsman, was unmatched. For those who survived long in Heukdo, not just Yeonhojeong, such an eye was close to basic knowledge.

A sharpness that can see through the other person’s disposition just by looking into their eyes and mixing a few words.

The meticulousness and stubbornness of reconfirming again and again even though it has already been confirmed.

This was the reason Yeon Ho-jeong was able to survive for a long time even though he stood at the pinnacle of the Darkness, which could be called the Emperor of Darkness.

“I don’t know why you ask such a thing… … Even if I know, I can’t tell the circumstances of my parents’ home to the elder.”

Jegal Ayeon replied calmly.

Although they had never had a private conversation, she already recognized Yeon Ho-jung as a dangerous person. She was one of those people who shouldn’t let you know even a trivial thing.

Yeonhojeong’s eyes deepened.

Jegal Ayeon swallowed involuntarily.

‘What the hell is this person?’

Are you really the grand duke of Byeoksan Sonata?

If you are the eldest son of a prestigious family, one of the seven generations, you must be different no matter what. However, Hojeong Yeon went far beyond that.

Invincibility wasn’t the problem. Those eyes and atmosphere were those of a warrior who had gone through all the battles.

It’s like watching a savage warrior walking leisurely through the wilderness after defeating countless enemies.

‘It’s like Uncle Hwang.’

It’s not strength, it’s temperament. Uncle Hwang was the wildest, sharpest, most terrifying man she knew.

Yeon Ho-jeong, who looked at Jegal A-yeon in silence, nodded.

“i get it.”

“yes.”

“… … .”

“yes?”

“I said I would. Just go.”

Jegal Ayeon was embarrassed once again.

‘What is this person?’

The first time I called and talked to him, he said that his eyes were as menacing as if he would eat them at any moment. But now, as if he has lost interest, he leaves with a face that says everything in the world is annoying.

… … Are you hurting your pride? Why should I be treated like this?

“hey.”

“why?”

When I asked, I couldn’t think of anything to say.

Jegal Ayeon was embarrassed by her hesitation for the third time. I was confident whenever and wherever, but strangely, I felt intimidated in front of Yeonhojeong Pavilion.

‘I keep doing something wrong with this human… … .’

In an instant, Jegal Ayeon’s expression hardened.

She bowed her head.

“sorry.”

“what?”

“My brother and sister, to be precise, it happened because of me. I put myself at risk for nothing. I sincerely apologize.”

He holds his arms in moderation and bows his back.

It was an act of sincerity. I couldn’t see his face because he lowered his head, but I could guess that his expression was full of guilt.

“Were they the ones who had a grudge with you?”

“Rather than resentment… … .”

Jegal Ayeon briefly explained the situation.

Yeonhojeong nodded her head.

“Then I have nothing to apologize for.”

“yes?”

“It happened after helping people with good intentions. The people who should be punished are those who followed you to the end, not you. There is no fault of yours, so there is no need for you to apologize.”

“Yeah, but… … .”

“If you are deeply troubled, visit the people who have suffered damage and give them at least material support. That is what you must do.”

Jegal Ayeon could not speak easily.

Is it not a sin to help people with good intentions?

That’s right. Even if Jegal Ah-yeon was Yeon Ho-jeong, he would have said the same thing.

However, it was surprising that Yeon Ho-jeong said such a thing. This is because the Yeon Ho-jeong she saw was close to a cold-hearted pragmatist.

“that… … It must be.”

“okay.”

“… … .”

“What are you doing? Aren’t you going?”

“Can I ask you one question?”

“What?”

“To be honest, I am not interrogating you. I don’t have the right to interrogate the person I practiced. I’m asking because I’m really curious, so I hope you don’t feel too bad.”

“So what?”

“Don’t you think that’s a bit cruel?”

“hmm?”

“He died in that fire. He is the one who called himself a brain fire store.”

Yeon Ho-jeong tilted her head.

“Why is that cruel?”

“It can be brutal enough for the average person to see. Everyone who saw it must have been shocked?”

“Only with that?”

“… … Not just. No matter how many enemies you kill by burning people alive?”

“Well, you might think so.”

pass lightly Jegal Ahn rolled her tongue at Yeon Ho-jung’s indifference.

“He is a wicked man who tried to set fire to kill civilians, but I think he went a little too far. At least not the normal way, right?”

“Then is it the normal way to kill with a single sword?”

“… … Well, it’s not, but at least there’s no pain.”

“Then no. He must die painfully.”

Zhuge Liang’s eyes widened.

“I don’t know if he only targeted your brother and sister, but he went to the fire needlessly and tried to kill countless civilians. This is, of course, a mortal sin.”

“It is, though.”

“Death is fair to all. both for the bad and for the good. If so, I think that even the process leading up to death should be painful.”

“Do you consider yourself a judge?”

“I’m not a judge, so I’m going to kill you instead of imprisoning you.”

Have you ever seen such an ignorant person?

Jegal Ah-yeon was surprised by Yeon Ho-jeong’s words, but at the same time felt a strange envy.

I don’t know how deep the thought was, but Yeon Ho-jung was sure. He has his own firm standards.

Sometimes living simply is harder than living complicated. The idea of ​​Yeonhojeong was simple, but it was simplicity accompanied by agony beyond imagination.

I couldn’t believe it even more when I came here.

‘How old is this person?’

Words and actions, thoughts, determination, martial arts, etc., did not look the same at that age.

Jegal A-yeon, who saw Yeon Ho-jeong, puts her foot! I laughed.

“thank you.”

“How many times do you say hello?”

“Wasn’t it the senior who took care of my internal wounds and pulled out the poison for my younger brother?”

Yeon Ho-jeong did not answer.

Jegal Ayeon lowered her head once again.

“Yeon Gongja is our brother and sister’s benefactor. I will repay this favor somehow.”

“No work.”

“You know what? The tone is somehow like that of an older person.”

“Noisy.”

“Sheesh, you’re stiff.”

Jegal Ayeon grumbled and turned around.

“I talked a lot as soon as I woke up, so I’m hungry. I want to eat something. Do you want to go with me?”

Hojeong Yeon glanced at the bush.

Puss.

The movement of the bush gradually receded. It was a mole-like movement.

“I will.”

“Hehe.”

“Don’t stick around.”

“Oh, excuse me.”

“… … .”

“By the way, how old are you?”

“Forty-six.”

“Don’t lie to me, mister.”

“eighteen.”

“What?! what? I was your sister! hey! I’m a year older than you!”

“… … .”

“Do you want to be friends?”

“No work.”
