Episode 649. Goodwill and trust
Yeonjeokha was deep in thought, and a heartache asked.
“By the way, why did you ask what the Tian-lei-zong think of the So-yo-zong?”
“It is said that the Chun Lae sect proposed an alliance with the Soyo sect. I was wondering if that was true.”
“Allies? Even if that happens, don’t put too much trust in the Thunder Bell.”
“Do you always say such things when you are in the Thunder Bell?”
“From what I’ve experienced, each of these people seems to be looking at a famous religious leader. They are the ones who would kill and eat anyone to become the god of the three thousand.”
Heartache shook his head with a tired face.
Yeonjeokha snorted.
“joy! Are you talking about your in-laws? What is different about old Sim? The person who stabbed me in the back of the head because he was greedy for immortality. If it was Kang Ho, he would have died by my hand. I feel sorry for you struggling to live in a faraway place, so I think you saved me.”
“Actually, I didn’t hit the back of the head properly. I was just pretending and was beaten.”
“That pretend was too much for me.”
“...”
The heartache, knowing Yeon Jeok-ha’s past better than anyone else, did not make any more excuses.
It was because it was true that she had turned her back on him, even for a moment.
Like that, as a joke, the two of them brushed off their regrets in the unexplored world little by little.
“Old Sim.”
“yes.”
My heart was shaken at the same appearance of heart pain as before.
So he almost taught him his plan and invited him to go back to Gangho together.
But he’s not stupid.
No matter how much he had a heart, his heartache and his own goals were the exact opposite.
“Stop going.”
Yeon Jeok-ha seemed to be talking, but when he stopped, he was curious about his heartache, but he didn’t ask.
“Even though my body is in the Tianlei sect, my heart follows Confucius. So, if there is anything I can help with, please feel free to contact me.”
He nodded his head in response to his sincere words.
“okay. Old Sim is the one who comes to me if anything happens.”
Shim Tong bowed his head and turned around.
I didn’t leave the place until I couldn’t see the look of the heartache of the relationship.
After a while, a cloud that rose from the river bank quickly crossed over the hundred years.
***
Taegong Castle.
Cheollipo.
If Muryangha divides the east and west of Guju, Baeknyeonha is a huge river that runs through the north and south.
If you cross Baeknyeonha from Doripo in Gangdongseong, you will find Cheollipo in Taegongseong.
The distance from Chollipo to Jongsan of Cheontaejong is a thousand li.
As if reflecting the reality of the Cheonroe sect and the Cheontae sect, the atmosphere of Chollipo was heavier than that of Doripo.
It fell markedly on the bank of the river that crossed the 100-year-old river with fortune-telling.
Just as he landed on the ground, dozens of Tiantai masters appeared.
They were the masters of the Cheontae sect who were watching over Baeknyeonha.
In broad daylight, when someone crossed the river using fortune-telling, he ran like a full moon.
An old man with soft eyes asked sharply.
“Let me say that I am a true man, the idol of inconsistency. Who are you who have crossed the 100-year-old with fortune-telling?”
Idol Qin Yin looked young, but he used the Hao body.
This is because the fortune-telling technique he showed is the ultimate technique that can only be performed by a union.
“I am the younger brother of Soyojong. I came to see the Venerable Cheontaejong under the direction of the Venerable Soyojong.”
Yeonjeokha also responded with unprecedented courtesy.
For the sake of the alliance between Soyojong and Cheontaejong, he was careful with his words and actions.
“Excuse me, but among all the names of Mrs. Soyojong I know, there is no name called Yeonjeok. Do you have any proof that you are a member of the Soyo species?”
Then, one of the true men of the inscrutable angle cautiously intervened.
“My idol, Jininnim, Yeonjeokha, helped the Jinin of the Tiantai sect a lot in the unexplored region. He even defeated the Ice and Snow of Heaven and Earth with one sword. If Yeonjeokha-nim had obtained the sword spirit in the unexplored region this time, he would have become you.”
However, Yeonjeokha, who had no intention of doing outside activities anyway, did not take it seriously.
By the time the sun goes down.
When dinner time came, they left the room where they had been moving back and forth between bed and table all afternoon.
At the inn restaurant, all the Jinn who met his eyes bowed silently.
It was an interest that Soyojong had not received.
Emotions are relative.
Even Yeon Jeok-ha responded politely to the benevolent eyes of the true men of the Tiantai sect.
Even though I didn’t ask to sit down, a delicacy was served.
I felt proud for the first time when I came to Kuju.
‘Yes, this is the true nature of life.’
I thought the masters of the clan were monsters of the jungle, but it doesn’t seem to be just like that.
The true men of the Tiantai sect did not roll their eyes at strangers like the Venerable Hyemun.
In the midst of eating, someone approached in front of Yeon Jeok-ha.
When I looked up, it was So-Yeon So-Yeon union whom I met at Seoga Banjeom not too long ago.
Yeonjeokha blinked her eyes with an awkward face, and the woman bowed her head.
“See you again, Mr. Yeon.”
“yes.”
The world is so small.
We met at Seoga Banjeom a while ago, but to see them again at Eunsugaek Cup.
“I heard that Mr. Yeon was a guest of the Venerable Hyemun, so I came here. Aren’t you all right?”
She sneakily examined the complexion of the younger brother.
It was because I was worried that he might be in a state of confinement.
“Yes, the hospitality is so good that I want to sit down.”
At Yeon Jeok-ha’s joke, So-hyeon’s labor union smiled brightly.
I wanted to talk more with Yeonjeokha, but I had to hold back.
This is because there are too many masters of the Cheontae sect spying on them with curious faces.
The union, which had been hesitant, ended up hastily concluding their words contrary to their hearts.
“You are having an eco meal, but I was glad to interrupt you. bon appetite.”
As she fled, he flinched and teased the chopsticks again with an embarrassing face.
***
the next morning.
Yeonjeokha, who was called by the Venerable Hyemun of the Tiantai Order, headed back to the annex.
“Sit down. Sorry for the long wait. Your opinions are divided.”
“it’s okay. What can I tell the Venerable Taeeul?”
“In conclusion, we, the Tiantai sect, will accept the proposal of the Soyo sect. After the victory, I hope that the issue of dealing with the Chun-Lu sect and the Ying Chun-Zhu will be decided as a bilateral affair between the two sects.”
“Rain?”
“exactly. To be precise, it was a non-marriage between the families of both sides. Let’s entrust the final victor of the battle to the disposition of the Chun-Lu-Jong and the Ling Chun-Lu.”
With his words, Venerable Hyemun held out two scrolls of parchment.
“A memorandum of understanding containing the will of the Tiantai sect. I have finished the suture. Honey Yeon, take the Venerable Taeeul’s hand and give it to me.”
“The Venerable Taeeul is someone who doesn’t even write letters because of the risk of losing them.
“How can the matter of life and death of the two clans be put to an end with words? I believe that if it is Mr. Yeon’s ability, it is enough to keep the memorandum.”
An awkward smile appeared on the young man’s face.
It was strange that Venerable Hyemun seemed to believe in himself more than Venerable Taeeul.
If you think about it, it seems to make no sense that there is no memorandum of understanding on such an important matter.
After hesitating, the couple eventually took two parchment scrolls into their arms.
“I will convey the will of Venerable Hyemun to Venerable Taeeul. Venerable Taeeul will agree to a memorandum of understanding if I say that I will deliver it myself. But what if the Venerable Taeeul asks not to make a memorandum of understanding? Are all the stories up until now going to be nothing?”
“Should I do that? What’s unfortunate is that we, the Cheontaejong, have no choice but to believe in the good will of the Soyojong.”
Yeon Jeok-ha asked back with an absurd face at the words, ‘I have no choice but to believe in good intentions and go’.
“Can you just talk to me about that?”
“All I can say is that I have no other choice anyway. Just like in the unexplored region, I hope that you will be kind to the Cheontae sect.”
He sighed in admiration at the humble appearance of Venerable Hyemun, a follower of the Tiantai sect. He was strong with the strong and weak with the weak.
