< Reunion-3 >
I don’t remember the name Guanhu. It seems that he was not a person with that much fame. Lee Seong-min approached Guan Hu, who was taking the lead, with wary eyes, and approached him. Gwanhu raised his bowed head and offered Seongmin Lee a seat.
“There is one thing I would like to ask.”
“What is it?”
“A deaf ear. Why did you protect Socheonma?”
“Do I have to answer?”
“I have a lot of questions. Ear window. Aren’t you a person with quite a reputation in this world? By killing the sword demon who killed Jang Mun-in of the Hwasan Sect, you earned the nickname ‘Gwichang.’ That’s it? Just half a year ago, you defeated the Blood Demon Baek Mu-seon in northern Travia. After that, he also killed Baek Mu-seon, who had become a vampire.”
Was there even a rumor about that? Seongmin Lee clicked his tongue slightly. It is true that he clashed with Baekmu outside the gates of Trabia and defeated him. The fight was loud, so there must have been someone who witnessed it. When Lee Seong-min first went to Travia, he got a carriage and thought in his heart that the driver was Hao-mun’s disciple.
“I don’t know why the Gwangcheonma Byeokwon faction is acting with you, but looking at your past actions, you are close to being a member of the political faction. Because the Sword Demon and the Blood Heavenly Demon were all demons. Perhaps, if I went to the Murim Alliance, I could have been recognized for my contributions and received good treatment.”
“What do you want to say?”
“I’m asking because I don’t understand. Even though you showed such actions, why did you protect Socheonma even while confronting the Iron Armor God Chang? “What on earth is your relationship with Socheonma?”
“friend.”
Seongmin Lee answered as he carefully put down Wijihoyeon. Guan Hu opened his eyes round at those words. Guanhu, who looked at Lee Seong-min and Wi Ji-ho-yeon alternately for a moment, burst out laughing.
“I see. friend… la. “There are many people who follow Socheonma, but I have never heard of anyone claiming to be Socheonma’s friend.”
“We met at Zenabis 10 years ago. I found out by chance… “We became friends.”
“So you blocked the armored spear?”
“Initially, I made an appointment with Wijihoyeon to meet today in this city. “I never even thought that something like this would happen with the armored Shinchang.”
“What will happen next?”
Guan Hu smiled and asked.
“Whatever the reason, it is an unmistakable fact that you overpowered the armored god and took Socheonma away. There were a lot of people watching, so the rumor would spread quickly. “It is said that the Murim Alliance’s extermination party has departed from Kron, so it will arrive here today at the earliest or tomorrow at the latest.”
“That’s why I came here.”
“What do you want from Sima Lian?”
“Being tracked by forces is a nuisance. Especially if it is a well-organized group like the Murim League. If they were outstanding individuals, I could somehow deal with them, but the Murim Alliance is too numerous.”
“Guryeo wants the protection of Sima Lian. “Do you know what that means?”
“Don’t hesitate and speak clearly.”
“haha… Don’t be too angry. Receiving the protection of Sima Lian does not mean relying on Sima Lian. “I asked if that Socheonma Wijihoyeon, who was wandering without power, would become a comrade of Simalyeon.”
“If you want to ask about that, ask Wijihoyeon, not me.”
“And you?”
Guan Hu’s eyes narrowed.
“You are a great expert. The armored sword, Yoo Ho-jeong, is one of the most skilled spear-wielding warriors… “I subdued him without much difficulty.”
“The iron armored spear did not produce full power. “I don’t know what would have happened if both people had tried to kill each other.”
“Not everyone will understand that situation. Socheonma is currently asleep and can’t hear the answer, but not you. If you want to use Sima Lian as a shield against the Murim Alliance, shouldn’t you give Sima Lian something that will allow him to do so?”
“Then let’s stop.”
Seongmin Lee said that and grabbed Wijihoyeon’s shoulder while he was sleeping. Sima Lian is not the only place worthy of requesting protection. It’s not like I stayed in Rubes just trusting in Sima-ryeon, not knowing what would happen. Seongmin Lee had a relationship with Lloyd, the owner of the golden magic tower. She wasn’t sure that Lloyd would protect her based on her favor alone, but if that were the case, all she had to do was ‘ask’ Lloyd.
“I’m kidding.”
Seeing Lee Seong-min helping Wi Ji-ho-yeon up, Guan Hu let out a low laugh.
“Are you trying to go to the Golden Magic Tower? “Seeing as he didn’t go there right away, I think it was because he didn’t want to cause trouble to the golden magic tower lord.”
“What do you mean it’s a joke?”
Lee Seong-min did not answer what Guan Hu said, but asked something else. Guan Hu shrugged his shoulders at those words.
“As long as you are here, I will protect you in the name of Sima Lian. “Even if you don’t join the Sima Lotus.”
“Is that true?”
“Of course.”
“Do you, the branch manager, have that authority?”
“This is not my will, but Lord Ryeon’s will.”
Guan Hu answered.
“If possible, make them join the Sima-ryan. “Even if you don’t, he ordered you to protect him.”
“… Why?”
“Socheonma’s reputation is high, and you, Gwichang, are no easy feat. Regardless of age, how many ‘humans’ in this world are as outstanding as you?”
Guanhu said that and stood up.
“The servants will bring food soon. First of all, let’s have a meal… “I’ll also call a member of the National Assembly if necessary.”
“… Please do so.”
“And this is my nonsense. “It is not easy to live in a gray world.”
The governor looked down at Lee Seong-min, who was sitting.
“I don’t think you are from Wulin. Is that right?”
“No class.”
“With no class, it’s the peak at that age…” ! This is great. If your skills are that outstanding, you won’t be ignored anywhere in the world. It may vary depending on the degree, but you can live as you wish. But that doesn’t mean you’re free. “As long as you are gray, you can belong to either black or white, but you will also be ostracized.”
“It’s none of your business.”
“haha… You are stubborn. Or are you simply afraid of making a choice?”
After leaving those words, Guan Hu went down the octagonal pavilion. Are you afraid of making choices? Seongmin Lee looked down at Wijihoyeon’s sleeping face. He just didn’t feel the need to choose. Jeongpana, Sapana. In Lee Seong-min’s view, they were just martial arts warriors using the same martial arts skills. Even among political factions, there are people like the Sa faction, and even among the four factions, there are people like the political faction.
[I’m not necessarily talking about only political factions and sad factions.]
Heoju muttered in a voice filled with laughter.
[You are gray. A gray color that may be white or black.]
“I know what you mean.”
Seongmin Lee said while looking down at Wijihoyeon. He already told Heo Ju. When he almost died in a fight with Baekmu. Even without drinking the elixir, regeneration had already begun within the body. No matter how good your body is after learning martial arts, regenerative power is not something you can easily obtain. It may be an ability obtained by having a black heart implanted in his body, but Lee Seong-min’s regenerative power has already surpassed that of humans. If you simply look at the body, you could say it is external.
It was just as Guan Hu said. It wasn’t long before the servants brought food. Luxurious food was placed on the table in the center of the octagonal pavilion. However, Lee Seong-min did not pay any attention to the food that came up. He looked down at Wijihoyeon, who was sleeping without saying anything.
“… Yes… ”
Wijihoyeon let out a small groan.

[It will be painful.]
Heoju muttered. The curse engraved on Wijihoyeon is vicious and of poor quality. Wijihoyeon’s breathing becomes rough and his eyebrows furrow. Cold sweat began to flow on my forehead. Seongmin Lee sighed and stretched out his hand. When I started wiping the cold sweat running down my forehead with my fingertips.
“… “Are there no handkerchiefs?”
Wijihoyeon opened his eyes. She stared at Lee Seong-min with blurry eyes. Seongmin Lee trembled and withdrew his hand from wiping away the cold sweat.
“… doesn’t exist.”
“You idiot. I mean, carry at least a handkerchief… ”
“Are you there?”
“there is. In your arms. “Can you take it out?”
Wijihoyeon said with a mischievous smile. A joke made with a pale face and a trembling voice did not feel like a joke. Seongmin Lee silently nodded his head and stretched out his hand. Then Wijihoyeon burst out laughing.
“I’m kidding. you… Are you trying to put your hand in my arms? “It seems like a low quality thing.”
“You asked me to do that.”
“So you said it was a joke.”
Wijihoyeon slowly raised his upper body. Not good. Wijihoyeon lightly chewed his lower lip. Even when I came to Rubes, the curse had not become this strong. It seems that the curse got worse while fighting the iron armored spear. Wijihoyeon took a deep breath and suppressed the pain writhing inside his body. Then she took out her handkerchief and wiped away the sweat.
“… hot… ”
Wijihoyeon muttered in a low voice and frowned.
“And it’s cold. “I feel like shit.”
“… “Can’t it be done with elixir?”
“no. I tried drinking it like water on the way here, but it had no effect. I tried using painkillers to try to relieve the pain… I can’t suppress this pain. “Because it’s a curse.”
“Who on earth placed the curse?”
Seongmin Lee took the handkerchief from Wijihoyeon. Then he directly wiped Wijihoyeon’s face. Wijihoyeon, who was breathing heavily, closed his eyes as he felt Lee Seongmin’s touch.
“… “What if I find out?”
“I will do something.”
“you… ? Hehehe. That’s impossible. You were 10 years ago… And compared to a year ago, I have become incredibly stronger. But even if you are like that, you can’t do it to that guy.”
“Without even trying?”
“Are you stronger than me?”
Wijihoyeon asked a question.
Seongmin Lee could not answer.
“The one who cursed me… The Sixth Venerable of Cheonoecheon. “Among them is a guy named Kwon Jon.”
Wijihoyeon coughed dryly. Seongmin Lee was surprised and stretched out his hand to Wijihoyeon. However, Wiji Hoyeon raised his hand and blocked Lee Seong-min’s hand.
“In his own words… They say it is the corner stone of the Six Venerable Ones. I fought with Gwon Jon for three days and nights, but I was never able to kill him. He stopped fighting and left… It left a curse on me. He said he would come back someday.”
“… Celestial… Kwon Jon… ”
I had already heard about Cheonoecheon from Gwangcheonma in Travia. It was said that 10 years ago, Gwangcheonma suffered defeat from the Geomjon of Cheonoecheon. And now, through Wijihoyeon, I heard the names of Cheonoecheon, the Six Venerable Ones, and Gwonjonja.
“This curse will not go away unless you kill Gwon Jon… Are you saying you can kill Gwon Jon? “The one that even I couldn’t kill after fighting for three days and nights?”
“We have to do something… !”
“Because you are my friend?”
Wijihoyeon smiled and asked. Seongmin Lee hesitated and then nodded his head. Wijihoyeon laughed in response. She said, shaking her head.
“Then thank you, but… are you okay. “It’s my problem, and I’ll solve it.”
“With that body?”
“Hehe… I never thought I would hear these concerns from you. Let’s stop talking like this. It was a promise I made 10 years ago… It’s been a year since we met. “We couldn’t talk to each other properly in the dungeon back then.”
Wijihoyeon smiled as he said that.
“Today is a day I really looked forward to. therefore… Let’s talk about what we wanted to say when we meet again. And I’m hungry. Unfortunately, I can’t use both hands properly.”
Wijihoyeon made a laughing sound. It was a low laugh compared to what she heard 10 years ago.
“Would you like me to feed you?”
“… “What do you want to eat?”
Lee Seong-min sighed and asked again. When Seongmin Lee reached out and grabbed the chopsticks, Wijihoyeon responded as if he had been waiting.
“meat.”
“meat?”
“huh.”
Wijihoyeon opened his mouth.
“Put it here.”
“I can’t stop you.”
Seongmin Lee grumbled and grabbed a nearby meat side dish.
