Episode 21.

Gust (1)

Yeon Ho-jeong, who saw Jegal A-yeon, turned her head away with a troubled face.

It was embarrassing, but Jegal Ayeon didn’t care at all. On the contrary, he had a happy expression on his face.

“How have you been?”

“Only two days have passed.”

“It’s nice to see you.”

I don’t know what kind of friendship you’re happy with.

Yeon Ho-jeong said to Paeng Dae-ho.

“Excuse me anyway.”

“huh? huh? uh? ah! It’s okay, it’s okay! It doesn’t wear out, well.”

“then.”

“Go or go?”

“It is.”

“… … uh, take a look See you later.”

So Yeon Ho-jeong entered the dorm.

It was time for Jegal Ayeon to call him once again.

“miss.”

“yes?”

“Let’s get a place to stay.”

“Uh, but Juni has all the luggage anyway. I have a cup of tea with a friend… … .”

“miss.”

“… … .”

“… … .”

“Okay, okay.”

The elderly warrior bowed his head respectfully.

“Sokha was arrogant. sorry.”

“Ah, it’s okay! I remember your father’s words. Hey Juna. Just pick a good lodging, pick one!”

“Sure.”

“Profit.”

“Ah! Why, why! My hair is all messed up!”

“It’s all because I love you, man.”

“What is love! Grumpy! uh? But why are you grumpy?”

“… … .”

“… … ruler! Let’s go find accommodation! Go, go!”

It was when the Zhuge brothers and sisters were about to move.

For a moment, Jegal Ayeon looked at Namgoonghyun.

“uh? Brother?”

Namgunghyun said with a slightly awkward face.

“It’s been a while.”

Jegal Ayeon dignifiedly bowed her head. It was completely different from when he met Yeon Ho-jeong or Jegal-jun.

“How have you been?”

“okay. How have you been?”

“yes.”

“… … .”

“Then, see you later.”

Jegal Ayeon’s formality was perfect. It was worth listening to the voice of a talented woman from a prestigious family.

But for some reason, a feeling of awkwardness passed. It didn’t seem very comfortable for Jegal Ayeon to treat others in a formal way.

So, the Zhuge brothers and sisters also went in to find a place to stay.

Namgoonghyeon’s eyes deepened as he watched Jegal Ayeon walk away.

When I returned to the residence, Yeon Ji-pyeong had come in before I knew it.

“older brother?”

“Are you here?”

“I called, but there was no answer, so I came in just in case.”

“Yeah, well done.”

“By the way, did Jegal’s sister and Jun come too? Did you hear a voice from afar?”

Certainly, Yeon Ji-pyeong’s sense was excellent. I wouldn’t know if I had focused on it, but it wasn’t a distance where I could hear the voice from the front door.

“okay.”

“Good for you. But when someone close to me comes, I feel relieved.”

“Are you nervous?”

“… … little?”

honest guy.

Yeon Ho-jeong smiled and leaned her chin toward the window.

“It looked like it would take a seat in the west building. Go and have a cup of tea.”

“What about your brother?”

“I am done.”

Yeon Ji-pyeong scratched her head.

“Brother, can I ask you one question?”

“whenever.”

“Do you hate Jegal?”

Yeon Ho-jeong tilted her head.

“no? You don’t have any feelings?”

“I see.”

“why?”

“no. It’s just like before, and I think you’re a little distant from Jegal.”

“There’s no reason to hate, but there’s no particular reason to like it, right?”

Yeon Ji-pyeong’s expression became blank.

It was an expression that seemed to make no sense, but was understandable. But I’ve never seen anyone who has made sure of a relationship like this.

“Eh, then I’ll be back!”

“okay.”

When Yeon Ji-pyeong left, Yeon Ho-jeong sat by the window.

It was a nice look. When I looked down, I could already see the back of Yeonjipyeong.

‘You look happy.’

A hint of remorse crept across Yeonhojeong’s face.

‘I wouldn’t have done that in the past.’

It was so long ago that my memory was fuzzy. However, when I came to the meeting of the late index in the past, it was a time when I thoroughly hated my younger brother. Maybe you couldn’t build a friendship with others because you noticed yourself.

‘I will never make it like that in the future.’

That was the reason why he distanced himself from Jegal Ayeon. Jegaljun was difficult for himself, but Jegal Ayeon wanted to break down that hard wall.

It was actually something to be thankful for. Even if it’s a benefactor who saved my life, it’s a great blessing to have someone who approaches me without fault.

That is why Yeon Ho-jeong was wary of others.

To be precise, I was limiting myself.

‘I won’t fail this time.’

The back view of Yeon Ji-pyeong running away with joy.

I didn’t want to cast fear and futility on that lively back. I didn’t want to show a terrible future not only to my younger brother but also to Ga-in.

… … I wanted to make it that way, at least until the Samgyo Rebellion broke out.

If possible, even after the Samgyo Rebellion.

‘Enemies are everywhere.’

You can’t be careless in a situation where you don’t know who is the enemy. If you think so, the evaluation of Paengga was too early.

Yeon Ho-jeong, who was sitting on the floor, was cross-legged.

His half-opened eyes were hard and dark as steel.

“I wish I didn’t have to go all the way to the old file room.”

after one try.

“Grand Duke. The meeting has begun. Everyone is invited to the banquet hall.”

“What about Moyong and the famous family?”

“I just arrived.”

* * *

“It’s been a while, brother.”

“Wah ha ha! It’s been a long time! Is it just one year?”

“I see.”

“Hey! It’s only been a year, but you’ve become so pretty!”

“Have your older brothers grown up?”

“Because you eat so well.”

“Ho-ho-ho!”

“Cheap is also very cheap.”

“… … I don’t want to hear that.”

Upon entering the outdoor banquet hall, the first thing that caught my eye was, of course, the Pang brothers. The big size and the loud voice that seemed to leave the sky were elements that caught everyone’s attention.

However, Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes did not go to Paeng Dae-ho and Paeng Man-ho. She turned to the woman talking to the two of them.

‘Moyong!’

She was a neat beauty who looked not yet twenty. However, the secret hidden within her body was truly amazing.

Its potential was higher than that of the Pang brothers. And Yeon Ho-jeong knew well what kind of power that power was and who that woman was.

‘She’s Moyong’s daughter.’

Moyong Yeonhwa (慕容蓮花).

She was a heroine of the first generation who led the Moyong family on behalf of Moyong, the Murim lord. Regardless of her temperament, she was a gifted woman who was so outstanding that Moyong-gun acknowledged her ability.

Yeonhojeong turned her head.

In the past, when she was leading the Black Empire, she was a woman she had bumped into. But now it didn’t matter.

‘First of all, a famous family… … .’

It was then.

“Who are you looking for?”

Yeon Ho-jung looked back.

Jegal Ayeon stood there smiling.

“Are you here?”

“… … I think I said it before, but you talk like a really old man.”

“No work.”

“Again, again.”

Yeon Ho-jung looked at Jegal A-yeon’s outfit.

“What is that attire?”

Jegal Ayeon smiled.

There was a bit of bitterness in her always bright smile.

“Isn’t it pretty flashy?”

When I first saw him at Choseongnu and when I entered the manor, Jegal Ayeon’s attire was plain. She was so beautiful that even the clothes she was wearing felt glamorous, but in reality, she was close to moderately luxurious activity clothes.

It was different now.

Her appearance in a gorgeous palace was truly amazing. Her clothes, embroidered with red plum blossoms on a fine pale green silk background, matched her bright and beautiful beauty very well.

Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.

“It’s fine.”

“really?”

“Yes, it suits you well.”

Jegal Ayeon looked into Yeon Hojeong’s eyes.

Yeon Ho-jung’s eyes were transparent. It was overly clear and insensitive, so it had the power to make the viewer strangely intimidated.

However, Jegal Ayeon’s expression brightened.

Since she was young, being called pretty was her ear. However, behind such compliments, there were many cases where negative emotions such as her jealousy and desire were included.

It was the first time I received such a plain compliment from someone other than my family. He couldn’t help but feel better by nature.

“yes? I’d like to exaggerate a bit, but… … .”

“Isn’t it too much?”

“That, is it?”

“It’s not like I’ve decorated my whole body with gold. There are people who wear 10,000 times more flashy clothes than you do.”

It really was.

In Heukdo, there are a lot of people who don’t fit their fountain and dress up extravagantly. This is because there are many people who want to gather power by showing off their abilities and wealth. Compared to that, Jegal A-yeon’s clothes do not fit into the ordinary axis.

A comfortable smile spread across Jegal Ayeon’s face.

A quick-witted person is good at managing facial expressions, but she didn’t know how to hide her emotions.

“There is a seat. Let’s go and sit down.”

“done.”

“Ah, don’t bounce even from good seats. Let’s go and have a drink.”

Yeon Ho-jeong, who was about to tell her not to bother her, hesitated for a moment.

‘but.’

If there is a clan behind the family that wants to destroy the family, the successor of that family will surely know about it.

Of course, he will keep an eye on himself and Yeon Ji-pyeong.

‘Come to think of it, I didn’t have to act so obvious.’

Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.

“I will.”

“Hehe.”

“Don’t stick around.”

“You’re so picky.”

“Noisy.”

“Aren’t you tired of living with such a personality?”

“I wouldn’t live like this if I was tired.”

“Hmm, that’s right.”

“So get away. hot.”

“It’s such a chilly day, but it’s hot. Besides, if you’re invincible… … .”

Jegal Ayeon cleared her throat, wanting to feel sorry for her.

“sorry. Was it something you said?”

One thing to be sure is that it is an art. She didn’t think Yeon Ho-jeong was hiding martial arts, but she knew that she didn’t want to brag about it.

So the two sat down. The food was pre-made, so it was a bit cold, but still tasty.

Yeon Ho-jeong willingly filled Jegal A-yeon’s glass. Jegal Ayeon also smiled and filled his glass.

“Can I ask you one question?”

“okay.”

“Are all of Yeonga’s martial arts that strong?”

“The martial arts of the Zhuge family must be as good as that of the original family.”

“aha? The important thing is not martial arts, but people?”

If you pretend, you pretend. Jegal Ayeon knew how to understand the other person’s intentions well.

Jegal Ayeon laughed.

“Are you secretly proud of yourself? Well, you should be proud of it.”

“It’s not a skill to brag about.”

“Are you humble?”

“I mean it.”

Jegal Ah-yeon read the sincerity in Yeon Ho-jeong’s face. He sincerely thought of his martial arts as insignificant.

Jegal Ayeon, who was looking at his face, asked.

“Do you want to become stronger?”

“It’s the aspiration of all warriors.”

“That’s right. So, is your dream to be the first person in the world?”

The corner of Yeon Ho-jung’s mouth went up.

It was a slightly raised smile. But the weight she was carrying was not light.

“If you are moderately strong, the best in the world should be better.”

“… … yes.”

Jegal Ayeon, who had muttered involuntarily, nodded again and said.

“yes. Best is better than mediocre I’d rather be the worst.”

Jegal Ayeon smiled brightly.

“You are good. I have a dream.”

Being the best in the world is not a dream.

Yeon Ho-jung didn’t even bother to say that.

“Do you have any dreams?”

“me? Hmmm!”

Jegal Ayeon closed her mouth and pondered. No, she pretended to be troubled.

“Are you sure you are mature? I haven’t thought about dreams yet.”

“Does an adult become a child just because he never thought about his dream?”

“Um, have you ever thought about that?”

Jegal Ayeon touched Yeon Hojeong’s arm with her elbow.

“When I talk to you, I really feel like I have become a child. I’ve never heard that I’m stupid.”

“Stop talking nonsense and give me a drink.”

“100 million? When did you drink?”

“Give me the bottle.”

“okay! I’ll follow you! The personality is ignorantly impatient. You mean you didn’t even toast and drank gosae?”

One person drinks with an expressionless face, while the other laughs and chatters. It is a combination that can be seen commonly anywhere, but the problem was the atmosphere of the two people.

It was a really casual atmosphere. Her man and woman looked plain and familiar even as they tipped their glasses.

The later exponents gathered at the banquet hall glanced at the two.

Whatever the reason, a beautiful woman is giving and receiving a drink with a bright smile. Besides, she was also a handsome enough young man beside him, only to have a rather sharp look.

The sight made the later exponents feel strangely inspired. For some reason, it felt like there was a separate protagonist in this banquet hall.

how long has it been like that

“You look very happy?”

Yeon Ho-jeong and Jegal A-yeon turned their heads.

Dang Yang-sun was walking with her hands behind her back and smiling.

“I don’t have any friends, so can I sit with you?”
