Episode 431: Our Only Hope (3)
The executives gathered together in Jeongcheong, the main conference room of Cheonyuhoe.
The purpose was to summarize the current situation and discuss future directions.
First of all, everyone was very happy with the performance of the yin-yang twins in Dunhuang.
“Is it really just the two of you who brought back all those scary bastards?”
“And you even rescued all the prisoners? “It is a truly refreshing achievement.”
“haha! Now they must have keenly felt the fear of the Yin-Yang twin monsters.”
Praise poured in from the audience.
At that time, Yoo Seol, who was sitting at the head table, looked around the room with a happy expression.
Several seats were empty, including the veteran leaders of the Shaman faction and the Baeksang protector of the Black Myo faction. They should be escorting the emperor out of Gaebong by now.
And two of the other elders who were supposed to be present were nowhere to be seen.
“The next agenda will start after everyone arrives.”
Regardless of the reason, Cheonyuhoeju’s decision is absolute.
The elders began looking around to find the cause.
“Aren’t the heads of the Namgung Cheolhu and Munjong clans the only ones who came?”
“It’s not like they were always late...”
The meeting was stopped for a moment and there was silence in the hall.
When a glimpse passes by in the silence. Eun Hwa-rin, who was worse off, made a sneaky suggestion to Yu Seol.
“How about proceeding without the two of you? “I will notify the two of you separately about this agenda.”
“There is no need for that. “Because it’s already arrived.”
“yes? “What do you mean?”
Instead of answering, Yoo Seol looked at the main gate of the government office.
Then he muttered something meaningful.
“Don’t do that at the door, come in quickly.”
“...?”
Just when everyone was confused. As Yoo Seol stretched out one hand, the huge gate of the government office began to open of its own accord.
Wow!
Opening a thick door with inner strength from such a long distance is not easy.
But I couldn’t help but be surprised by that.
It was because of the two black and white people standing awkwardly at the wide open entrance.
Namgung Cheolhu was wearing a black crown, and King Munjong was wearing a flower-shaped ornament in his ear.
“....”
Everyone looked at them with blank faces for a moment.
After one more breath.
Paedomun’s Baekgyu was the first to burst into laughter.
“Puhahaha!! What is that on top of your head? “Did you really want to be king?”
That was the beginning. Everyone couldn’t hold back their laughter and held their bellies.
“Haha! “I never dreamed you two had such tastes.”
“Kkkkkk. “Oh my, it’s a pear...”
The black and white duo felt like they wanted to go into a rat hole.
But no one could be blamed. Didn’t they also burst into laughter in front of the group?
Namgung Cheolhu, whose face was red, asked everyone with an angry expression.
“Are you laughing like that in front of me? “I don’t know what this crown is...”
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Hoeju.
They looked like they were asking for the same punishment as they had received.
However, Yoo Seol spoke to Eun Hwarin as if he was not interested.
“Let’s begin, Commander-in-Chief.”
“All right.”
At that time, Namgung Cheolhu called Yu Seol with an expression of resentment.
“...Sashimi Lord.”
But Yu Seol didn’t even pay attention.
The black and white pair, who had become sullen, hesitated for a moment and then quietly went to their seats.
Anyway, thanks to them, the meeting was able to start in a bright atmosphere.
As usual, General Manager Eun Hwarin led the meeting and began reporting various agenda items.
From the current status of various projects promoted by Cheonyuhoe to matters related to supply materials.
Since most of it was being resolved on her behalf, there were no unusual issues. So far...
“Here’s the next report. “There were some incidents at the recent release as well.”
Gaebong is the capital where the imperial family is located.
It wasn’t that difficult to guess what kind of incident it was.
But that only lasts for a moment.
Yu Seol was very disappointed as she prepared to leave her residence.
Yu Jin-san, who was taking care of her luggage by her side, also knew how her granddaughter felt. Because his expression quickly changed to a gloomy one.
“Do you feel sad about leaving?”
“What should I do because I miss my grandpa... hmm.”
Yu Jin-san laughed and responded to the sight of his granddaughter looking like she was crying.
“Once you start training, you won’t have time to think about expenses. “Are you ready?”
At that time, Yoo Seol took something out of his bag and held it out.
It was the Sakyamuni Gap, the best armor in the martial world in name and reality.
“Just in case you don’t know, my grandpa is wearing this.”
“What a guy. “What is the use of this money?”
Even though he said that, Jin-san Yu accepted the giraffe armor.
After all, it would be an item that the granddaughter who would be at Seongsan would not need.
“Are you wearing your necklace well? “You can never take it out.”
“necklace? Are you talking about the Luyi Orb that you took from the First Emperor? “Oh, he’s kicking very well.”
Jinsan Yu took out the necklace hidden under his clothes and showed it to him.
Then Yoo Seol grabbed his shoulders with both hands and spoke with a serious expression.
“And promise me.”
“What?”
“I will never die until I return. “You can’t get hurt!”
It was as if parents were praising their children going to war.
Since it was a familiar situation by now, Yu Jin-san did not think much about it.
“Don’t worry baby. “Even the expenses are not weak anymore.”
Yujinsan, who had completely inherited Cheonma’s progress, no longer had anything to be afraid of.
Of course, I can’t help but think that my granddaughter’s worries are excessive.
Yu Seol still seemed relieved and hugged her grandfather and patted him on the back.
“I’ll be back soon, so even if you miss Seol, just be patient.”
“OK. Now stop worrying about spending money and get out there. “Dengjoong has been waiting for you since a while ago.”
Joson said goodbye to his residence.
Manager Jeonghye was already standing in front of the door, waiting for the rumor.
And next to him was a huge tiger.
“Grandpa, let’s get on board too.”
Yoo Seol, who was riding on Darong’s back, motioned towards Jeong Hye.
However, he only chanted the Buddha’s name with his palms together.
“Amitabha Buddha. Theravada would like to do that, but I don’t think this evil beast will allow it.”
As expected, Darong was glaring at Jeonghye and showing signs of discomfort.
It seemed like he didn’t want to give it a ride.
At that time, Yu Jin-san, who came out with his back in front of the door, clicked his tongue and said.
“Haldaebi is right, right? “That mean beast discriminates against people?”
purr-!!
A huge tiger with its fangs exposed looked at Yu Jin-san and Jeong-hye alternately.
“Uh-huh! then no. “You’re nice, right?”
Only after the rumor was spoken did Darong lie flat on the floor.
It was as if he didn’t want to give me a ride, but he was forcing me to do so.
Jeonghye, who noticed this, shook her head excitedly.
“Hawseung, I’ll just run. “I will lead the way, so please follow me.”
There was no need to decline.
Yuseol, lying flat on Darong’s back, shouted with a bright expression.
“Let’s go, Darong!”
Behind Jeonghye, who was performing a light attack as fast as the wind, Darong began to follow her like a swordfight.
And Yu Jin-san watched them with his back turned.
‘...Have a nice trip, baby.’
He did not withdraw his gaze until his granddaughter’s figure disappeared completely from sight.
He entered the living quarters a while later and flopped down on a chair. This is because an unknown emptiness came into the granddaughter’s empty space.
It was something that could take several months or even over a year.
After sitting blankly for a while, he thoughtlessly rummaged around in his arms. He then took out a square card that was emitting eerie magical energy.
It was a sacred item from the Demonic Cult that was received as a gift from Baekyoran.
“By the way, did you say there’s a secret hidden in this new object?”
For the time being, all that was left was time.
Since he had nothing to do at the time, he started looking around at the new items.
