Shandong Best Rice (3)
“What are you thinking about?”
Song Hwa-rin suddenly came to her senses at the sound of words coming from next to her.
The woman who spoke was Suran, his bodyguard.
“It’s no big deal.”
Song Hwa-rin tried to drink the tea she was holding but put it down again. The warm tea had already cooled down.
She was thinking of Byeokridan.
“Nothing changes as easily as people.”
He seemed like a completely different person when he was drunk and acting out and when he said those things.
Song Hwa-rin shook her head with difficulty.
“Even so, it’s just a paradise that sucks the backs of its parents.”
Suran guessed who the protagonist of the thoughts her master had shaken off was.
“It is said that Gongja Byeok is practicing martial arts these days.”
“Martial arts training?”
“yes. “I think everyone inside Byeok Clan Inspection is surprised because it’s something that has never happened before.”
“Now what? “Isn’t it too late?”
“I think he’s doing it to impress the lady.”
Song Hwarin thought of Byeokridan. Thinking about his cold final appearance.
“I didn’t intend to look good at all.”
“Is that possible? A bastard with a penis would never do that.”
As Song Hwa-rin blushed, Suran quickly spoke.
“sorry. “The muzzle was trembling.”
I knew well that Suran had an easy-going personality like a man, so I didn’t scold him.
“Each person may have different tastes toward the opposite sex.”
“This does not apply to you, young lady.”
It was clear that continuing the conversation would only add to her beauty, so Song Hwa-rin just laughed.
“By the way, there is a meeting among the late-term indexes today.”
“Do you have to go?”
“yes. You must go.
Duke Yang of Yang Xiaofang (陽小?) sent word several times to be sure to attend. As you know, Yang Fire Station… … .”
“it’s okay. “I’m going, so stop.”
“sorry. “I will prepare to go out.”
As Suran was about to leave the room, Song Hwarin suddenly asked.
“Do you think people change easily?”
“It’s not easy, but… … “I think things are changing.”
“Why do you think that?”
Suran said with a smile.
“You’ve changed a lot too, right?”
Yes, that was correct. He was completely different from before he left for training.
Yes, at least let’s assume that what Byeokridan said is correct.
Song Hwa-rin smiled.
“Hurry up and get ready. let’s go.”
In the past, I never went to places I didn’t want to go.
But now I can do things I don’t like with a smile. I have changed, and I will not be afraid of change in the future.
‘I will never become stagnant water.’

It’s been a while since I went out to a guest house on the street.
It was to hear my rumor, but I could only confirm that it was still dark news.
Why is the announcement so late?
In my heart, I wanted to immediately run to the Murim Alliance headquarters and meet Gal Saryang to ask him questions. Why is work being done so late?
I was worried that something might have happened.
While I was sitting there lost in thought, a group of young people came in.
Among them was Song Hwarin. She is someone who cannot help but go unnoticed.
“uh?”
She recognized me and stopped. The group’s steps naturally stopped together. The expressions on the faces of my companions who recognized me were not good. Everyone looks disapproving. It would clearly tell us about my relationship with them.
I looked at her for a moment and then turned my head towards the window.
It was only a brief moment of eye contact, but that alone made someone feel very uncomfortable.
The man next to her sauntered over to me.
Expensive clothes, flashy gold decorations, an overly ornate sword scabbard, eyes that seem to look down on the other person, and even the corners of the mouth curled up in a frivolous manner. He revealed enough information about himself from his appearance.
“I heard this bastard came back from the dead? “Are you okay?”
He pretended he knew, but I couldn’t even figure out who he was. When he didn’t respond, the corners of his mouth curled up even more. Perhaps my reaction was seen as bravado in front of Song Hwarin.
“You said you were doing martial arts training? why? Are you trying to beat me?”
I thought that if I left it alone, he might hit me on the head, so I said something coldly.
“Are you trying to beat someone up for martial arts training? “I’m going to kill the person I want to kill.”
He must have sensed a different strength than usual in my eyes, so he was startled. He soon became irritated at the fact that he had surprised himself and began to spit out harsh words.
“I heard you shed tears while being beaten by Song So-jeo?”
Then Song Hwa-rin, who was standing there, frowned slightly.

“I never said that.”
“Do I really need to say it? Why are you doing that? Does this guy bother you?”
“at all!”
I was able to read Song Hwa-rin’s inner thoughts from her expression. In one word, both me and this guy looked annoyed.
The argument continues as to whether he knows it or not.
“Debt collector, I don’t like the look in your eyes today.”
In debt? Have I ever borrowed money from this guy? I’ll have to ask Gwangdu later.
Anyway, I didn’t want to clash with this guy, so I got up.
“From now on, keep your eyes peeled!”
He did not react to the obvious provocation that was conscious of Song Hwa-rin. I have no intention of wasting my emotions on young children. I don’t know why I was reincarnated as a Byeokridan, but at least it wouldn’t be a reason to waste my time on such a pathetic thing.
Judging by the mood and attire of the young people standing with Song Hwa-rin, they were all local officials or members of the martial arts school.
Damn you guys. The thing you need to be most careful about in this river is standing next to you. Do you know that she is more terrifying than the demons of Safa?
There was something I told young warriors about beauties at a drinking party during my time as a lord.
“Even if she is not a wicked woman, her beauty will drive you to death.”
It was said as a joke, but it was also not a joke at all.
Most of the murders that occurred in this river involved either money, women, or both. And the more beautiful the woman, the more fatal the danger.
With a beauty like her, the danger would be catastrophic.
As I passed by, neither she nor I glanced at each other.

The next afternoon, there was a new connection.
As I was crossing the training ground, a middle-aged dancer passing by spoke to me.
“Byuk Confucius. I heard a rumor that you are doing martial arts training these days. “Is that true?”
I know who he is.
Seojung (徐仲).
There was a sword belt in our family, and he was the head lord in charge of the sword belt. I only heard from Gwangdu who he was, but he had never had a conversation with him yet.
“Yes, it is.”
Even if I didn’t answer, he would have felt the changes in my eyes and body.
But my previous life was too messy to elicit praise and encouragement just for the changes of the past few days.
“Do you know that not only the head of the family but the entire family is having a hard time because of what you have done?”
What was expressed in their angry eyes was not a simple criticism, but a reprimand that showed genuine concern for the other person.
“sorry. “We will make sure nothing like that happens in the future.”
Sincerely, sincerely. I bowed my head politely.
I felt embarrassed in the middle of the summer. Maybe it’s because my reaction is different from usual.
It was something that needed time. Not only here in Seojung, but also to everyone who knows Byeokridan.
“I will continue to watch.”
I asked him as he was about to turn around.
“But what did you mean when you said a little while ago that the whole family is having a hard time because of me?”
Then Seojoong’s expression hardened.
“Are you asking because you don’t know that?”
“no.”
I backed away without asking any more questions. There is no need to go against his feelings and get an answer. Because there was someone who could teach it.
The person who could teach me what I didn’t know better than anyone else was busy cleaning the garden.
“Why are you making such a fuss so late?”
Cleaning was usually done early in the morning. But Gwangdu was making a fuss about cleaning up in the late afternoon.
“I received a message that Yangbangju is coming later.”
“Yangbangju?”
“You really don’t remember a thing?”
“Anna.”
He gave me a suspicious look every time, but he was the one who believed that I had truly lost my memory. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have given this kind of additional explanation every time.
“This is Yang Gi-cheol, the Ark of Yang So. Yangsobang is the largest breakwater in Shandong. “At one time, we were the best.”
According to Gwangdu’s explanation, there were about 20 large and small sects here in Shandong, and in terms of power and influence, our Byeok clan was the best in Shandong.
The problem is that it is the glory of the past. They said that now Yang So-bang is first, Song Ga-jang is second, and our family has been pushed out of the top ten.
“Why did we fall like that?”
The words Seojung said also came out of Gwangdu’s mouth.
“You’re not asking because you don’t know right now, are you?”
Of course I guessed it.
“It’s because of me, after all.”
“A lot of money has been spent on resolving the accident Confucius had. “As finances became difficult, we had to reduce the number of unmanned personnel.”
“Did you get into debt because of that?”
“Of course. “I owe a lot of money, but I know that I borrowed a lot of money from Yangsobang.”
Just in case, I mentioned the impression of the guy I saw at the guesthouse yesterday. As expected, this guy was none other than Yang Ki-gang, the son of Yang So-bang.
I felt like I knew now. Why did the guy I saw at the guest house yesterday call me a debt collector? Why was he so energetic?
“How much do you owe?”
martial arts,
