Chapter 8
Episode 8.
Taking priority over addition (2)
Nangong Daesan’s face turned red like a ripe persimmon.
“What do you mean, you’re an unworthy woman? “Stop talking!”
“It would be best for you to refrain from speaking.”
Yeon Wei was neither as excited nor as energetic as Nangong Daesan.
It was calm and relaxed. His characteristic blunt expression still remained.
“Have you properly confirmed the cause and effect of the incident?”
“Cause? Now is the time to think about something like that?! What on earth did you hear? No matter how much of a fight there was, why break the arms and legs of a wife who is not even a year old? “How did the matriarch raise her son!”
Although the rudeness was excessive, Namgung Daesan’s tantrum was not incomprehensible.
Although she is not my child, my beloved niece has become a half-baby. Anyone could be angry.
Yan Wei understood Nangongdaesan with his heart.
However, I could not tolerate his words and actions and his attitude towards Namgung.
“I almost feel sorry for my son’s self-control that ended up like that.”
“What!”
“If it were me, I would never have forgiven someone who not only mocked my family but even tried to kill me.”
Yeonwi’s voice became a little colder.
“My son’s mercy saved the life of your family’s daughter. “Please know that I am grateful.”
“This… such a shame!”
Nangong Daesan was extremely angry and trembled.
But he couldn’t vent any more anger.
Yeongaju was repeating once again what she had ignored the first time she heard it. The repetition of the content cooled Namgung Daesan’s head slightly.
‘You mocked my family and tried to kill my son? What does this mean?’
Yeonwi spoke as if he could see through his heart.
“It was said that a child from your family named Sanghwa got drunk and said that Namgung had never thought of his family as being from the same seven generations.”
Nangong Daesan gritted his teeth.
“So you think I made fun of your family? Just for that reason…!”
“I don’t think that the words of a child who can’t even control his mind are Namgung’s will. Moreover, since he was drunk, it would be okay to just dismiss it as the nonsense of a drunkard.”
Although he thought it was true, Nangong Daesan felt even angrier. Yeongaju was telling her beloved nephew that he couldn’t control his thoughts and that he was a drunkard.
How could you not be angry?
“But if you said that you would kneel down to the children of the Yeon family while exposing your life, it would be a different story.”
“What?”
“Not only did he threaten to kill you, but he also tried to humiliate you. I don’t know how the Namgung family taught their children.”
Nangong Daesan’s eyes wavered.
No matter how short its history is, Byeoksan Yeonga is one of the seven great generations.
The fact that it is considered one of the seven major families with a history that has only been known in the central plains for 50 years means that the power of the Yeon family is not lacking at all compared to other families.
No, it could be seen that the potential was even greater than that. There is no way that a family with little power can be mentioned along with the most prestigious families in the martial arts world.
Namgung Sanghwa not only tried to kill the sons of such families, but also insulted them.
“can not believe it!”
Nangong Daesan’s face turned red again.
“Is there even a gift? If you are willing to insult Namgung just by listening to the words of the matriarch’s son…!”
“It’s a matter between the children of the Seven Great Families. “Do you think I did my research in vain?”
“profit! If so, please call the person involved! “After hearing the words of the matriarch’s son myself…!”
“Hey, head of the Namgung family.”
Yeonwi’s eyes became deeper.
“Do you think I’m kidding?”
“….”
“My children were insulted and even threatened. “I feel like I want to cut off your nephew’s head.”
“I mean!”
“Are you saying that even if the head of the Namgung family came and apologized in person, his anger would not go away, so the head of the Oewon family came and caused this mess?”
Yeonwi did not speak for any longer.
“Do you want to die?”
Flash!
A subtle murderous spirit emanated from Yeonwi’s eyes, who never lost composure and composure.
Namgungdaesan, who felt that life, felt as if he had entered an ice cave. It was so cold and bitter that my inner energy was trembling without my knowledge.
“If this is Namgung’s will, then it’s good. Let me see for myself how fierce Namgung’s sword is. “I will cut off your head and go directly to Namgung.”
Namgung Daesan shouted without realizing it as the cold voice pierced his ears.
“Now just a moment!”
“Is there anything you want to say?”
Nangong Daesan swallowed his saliva.
It only revealed flesh as fine as a needle, but I couldn’t feel any more force than that. Yeonwi was still blunt and calm.
However, Namgungdaesan could be known just by looking at his life. Yeonwi’s martial arts skills have reached a level that he cannot surpass.
“Wait a moment. “I think I must have been mistaken.”
“mistaken? “Are you in a position to spit out nonsense like that in front of me right now?”
Nangong Daesan bit his lip.
Even if you think about it, it was a really hurtful and petty response.
But I couldn’t help it. I don’t have the confidence to handle the situation in front of me, but if what Yeonwi said is true, this could have turned into an incredibly big problem.
‘damn!’
I regretted it. Although his brothers all held important positions in Namgung, he himself was still the head of the outer circle.
Although he was treated as a leader in the family, he was still the head of the family. His older brother, the head of the family, did not give him much power.
Because he is very hot-tempered. I am afraid of making a mistake in external affairs, so I have stayed as the head of the family until this age.
There were more than a few times when I felt disappointed about him, and I thought that maybe my brother’s judgment was right.
“For now…”
My lips became dry.
Namgung Daesan, who had a strong sense of pride, gritted his teeth and said.
“I apologize for coming in without considering the circumstances.”
“….”
“I was shocked to hear that my nephew had gotten to that point. “The head of the family has no shame.”
Yeon Wei watched Nangong Daesan in silence.
The eyes were as transparent as glass. Namgungdaesan’s mouth opened of its own accord.
“I will look into the situation again. So what happened today….”
“Don’t worry. “I won’t forget it.”
“house owner!”
“I will make sure that everyone in the Baekdo Murim knows this. “Unless your family makes a proper apology.”
Nangong Daesan’s face turned pale.
This is it. This is exactly what it took.
If everything Yeonwi said is true, the name of the Namgung family will be stained. And the responsibility lies not only with Namgung Sanghwa but also with himself.
It was a big deal. They were so angry that they attacked without warning, and because of their hot-tempered nature, the family’s reputation was tarnished.
“Let’s go…”
“I don’t want to see you, so just leave.”
“….”
“I will wait and see how your family turns out.”
Yeonwi turned around.
Namgungdaesan bit his lip and left the south gate. The entrance they entered by breaking down the door now looked like the maw of hell.
That’s how Namgung Daesan left for his annual leave.
Yeonwi shook his head as he looked at the broken south gate.
“What a shame.”
It was a shame, but it turned out better.
“Where is the Commander-in-Chief?”
“Did you call me, matriarch?”
A slim man came running from far away. I learned martial arts, but it didn’t seem like I had studied them deeply.
It was Tae-gyeong, the head of a man’s love family who must have been in his mid-thirties.
“Please ask the old man from the government office for the gate. “Ask for better quality wood than before.”
“Oh yeah!”
Taekyung said with a somewhat anxious face.
“But, matriarch. Are you okay?”
“hmm?”
“I wonder if you went too strong…”
It seemed like everyone was watching from afar.
Yeonwi shook his head.
“Let’s take care of it from here and find out tomorrow.”
“Oh yeah! All right.”
Yeonwi left Taekyung to clean up the surroundings and walked towards Naewon alone.
Then a ray of shadow appeared.
It was Yeonhojeong.
“father.”
Yeonwi was not surprised. I was already feeling the presence of my first child.
“It’s late. “Go to bed now.”
“Because I can’t sleep.”
Yeonwi stopped walking and looked at Yeonhojeong.
It was a particularly bright moonlit night. The eldest son’s eyes looked very deep as he stepped out of the shadow of the building and into the moonlight.
Yeonwi was once again about to tell him to go to bed, but suddenly he wanted to ask his son a question.
“What do you think?”
“What do you mean?”
“I wonder what Namgungse’s side thinks will come out.”
I had no idea why he suddenly asked such a question.
However, he was inwardly surprised by Yeon Ho-jeong’s answer.
“What’s important is not the Namgung family, but the main family, isn’t it?”
“What do you mean?”
“Even if the Namgung family doesn’t apologize, they will keep this matter buried.”
“Why do you think that?”
“There’s no need to start a fire just to get some dust off your clothes.”
Do you know how to even think like this?
Regardless of the uncomfortable analogy, Yeonwi thought that her son’s insight was not bad. No, considering what he had shown so far, it was difficult to even describe his progress in words.
It occurred to me that maybe it was arrogance to believe that I knew my son well.
Yeonwi, who had been watching Yeonhojeong, turned around again.
“Do you think this is a minor incident that can be easily overlooked?”
“yes?”
“You are my son.”
Yeon Ho-jeong blinked.
Before I knew it, Yeonwi had finished speaking and was walking away. The gait was completely different from usual.
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was staring at his father’s back, scratched his head.
“Because who doesn’t know that?”
* * *
next day.
“Okay.”
Even the cool autumn breeze could not cool my body.
The dripping sweat had already formed a puddle. However, Yeon Ho-jeong’s attitude did not change.
Sigh.
The door opened and Yeon Ji-pyeong appeared.
“Brother, I’m here… Huh?!”
Yeon Ji-pyeong’s eyes widened.
“What are you doing, brother?”
“You wouldn’t know it if you looked at it. “It is horse training.”
“Ma Maboyo?”
Yeon Ji-pyeong was understandably embarrassed.
Mabo, which trains the lower body, is the core of all martial arts. However, there is no need for a brother who has advanced to the level of non-relationship law to practice Mabo training, which is the most basic of basics. If you want to train your body, aren’t there many other training methods?
Yeon Ho-jeong frowned.
“It is a punishment from my father.”
“Bor bolo mabo? Wait, since when have you been like this?”
“Myoshi (卯時).”
“omg! “It’s been almost two visits, right?!”
“not much left.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s body was not yet young. Anyone who does Mabo for half a day without using any internal energy will die.
Yeon Ho-jeong grumbled inwardly.
‘Doing things like this won’t change anything.’
I received a message from my father early in the morning from Commander-in-Chief Tae-kyung.
‘As the situation was, it doesn’t seem like you did anything wrong. But you have one sin. It is the sin of the unmanned. Cruel hands inevitably lead to blood, so it is not the white way. ‘Regain your original intention by practicing Mabo for two days.’
If his mentality had been changed through Mabo training, he would not have survived in the dark island.
At first, I wondered what this was, but I thought it was training and worked hard. I looked back at the non-relationship law and also reviewed what needs to be done in the future.
Yeon Ji-pyeong whispered softly.
“Brother, stop now. “It’s roughly two examinations.”
“No work.”
I don’t think it’s a crime at all, but what can you do with a family atmosphere like this? It may seem like there will be a lot of grumbling, but you should at least try to get used to it.
A little while later, a little over two hours later.
Only then did Yeon Ho-jeong untie the Mabo.
“Wow, it’s shaking.”
“Are you having a hard time? “Just wait a moment and I’ll bring you some food.”
It was then.
thud. thud.
Someone knocked on the front door.
“Is the Archduke there?”
“Who are you?”
“The head of the family is calling the Archduke.”
Yeon Ho-jeong grumbled as if he was disgusted.
“I guess you’re checking your homework. Huh.”
