Chapter 392 : Chapter 392
Vol 2 Chapter 32. I’m So Glad I Aged (4)
When he regained consciousness, the first thing he saw was….
“Hello, Dog Mess.”
The face of a peerless beauty looking at him bluntly.
“You…. Violent Woman?”
“Do you want to die?”
The way a physician speaks is just….
Dang Suryeon of the Tang Clan of Sichuan.
Uniquely, she is a woman who made a name for herself with medical arts rather than hidden weapons or poison.
Looking only at her face, she is quite a peerless beauty, but there are not just one or two men whose high noses were broken while bravely hitting on her, bewitched by her beauty.
For reference, this is not a metaphorical expression.
“Ugh….”
Anyway, seeing this face means he survived. Jin Cheon forced his body up and spoke.
“The junior brothers? Our sect? Is everyone safe?”
“No one died. Thanks to someone overdoing it.”
Thinking it was a great fortune amidst misfortune, Jin Cheon let out a sigh of relief. Toward such a Jin Cheon, Dang Suryeon spoke.
“Hey, Dog Mess.”
“What, Violent Woman.”
Their gazes clashed fiercely with each other. However, a moment later, Dang Suryeon sighed deeply first and spoke.
“Do you have a few spare lives?”
“Why are you getting ready to nag again?”
“Does it look like I won’t? You almost died.”
“…….”
“If we had arrived even a little late, you would have definitely died.”
Dang Suryeon, Jaegal Hyeon, Peng Mujong, Namgung Cheon.
These four appeared at the truly desperate moment, defeated Hungry Ghost Saber Yeom Pa, and saved Jin Cheon.
If it weren't for them, Jin Cheon would have certainly died.
Jin Cheon sighed at Dang Suryeon’s nagging and said.
“Enough. Living while holding a sword, one goes through things like this.”
“Hey, you….”
“I lived, so isn’t it enough? If you have so much nagging, who would take you? Huh?”
“Ha, if I line up the men who want to take me, they would go around Sichuan Capital once and still remain, so turn off your concern, will you? Worry about yourself. Yourself.”
“Anyway, she doesn’t lose a single word. Then you’ll get married to a bastard dog who has a dirty temper and drinks liquor every day.”
This prophecy comes true.
“You watch out yourself. Your future wife will be a woman with a dirty temper who throws punches at her husband at the drop of a hat.”
This prophecy also comes true.
“Ha!”
“Hmph!”
Of course, now is a time when both are dreaming unaware of the future.
After a while.
“Shall I get going?”
Jin Cheon, who finished a simple breath regulation, raised his body from the seat.
Did his body recover?
Is there any way that could be?
External injuries, internal injuries, and even the poison he was poisoned with were not completely detoxified.
Even if the recovery power of the Twin Dragons Heaven and Earth Primordial Heart Law is excellent, to cure this, he must rest well and recuperate for at least half a year. However….
“Where is the time for that?”
Already he has to finish the work entrusted by the Murim Alliance, and a duel with the Elder of the Beggar’s Gang is scheduled in two months.
On top of that, he has to handle the work requested by the Heavenly Demon Escort Agency and also….
“Anyway, this damn luck with work….”
In any case, a luxury like rest is impossible.
Since there are not just one or two things to handle.
“It doesn’t revolve without me, so what to do? Without me….”
Grumbling, Jin Cheon got up from the seat and went outside like that. And the moment Jin Cheon just opened the door….
JINGLE JINGLE.
“Huh?”
What is this?
The moment the door opened, a string connected to the door rang a bell far away.
Why did they attach such a crude alarm device here?
While thinking that….
“This crazy human!”
“Catch him! Never let him go!”
“If it doesn’t work, kill him! The Sect Leader permitted it!”
From all directions, people full of killing intent drew their weapons and ran toward the front of the door.
Enemies? No. These are not enemies but….
“What are you guys doing?”
Jin Cheon spoke bluntly seeing the junior brothers who appeared with murderous spirit. Then the junior brother bastards stepped forward and said.
“That is what we should say.”
The junior brothers ground their teeth, surrounded Jin Cheon, and spoke.
“Where are you trying to go with that body now?”
“Where am I going. I am in the middle of the mission entrusted by the Murim Alliance originally. I came urgently, but now I must go again.”
“…….”
“If you understood, move. I’m busy.”
Jin Cheon waved his hand as he spoke like that.
If it were usual, the junior brothers would have followed such words of Jin Cheon obediently. However….
“Impossible.”
“What?”
“You are going to perform the mission entrusted by the Murim Alliance with that body? Maybe if you became a Jiangshi and went, I don’t know, but it is impossible.”
“Oh my, was that so? Were you worried about this Eldest Senior Brother like a mouse thinking of a cat?”
“…….”
“You pathetic things. If you have time to think such thoughts, devote yourselves to training. Later when you guys become strong, I will work you hard even if you say you hate it.”
“When is that?”
“When? I told you? After you become strong….”
“Then, until then, are you telling us to eat and sleep with the money the Eldest Senior Brother earns and train leisurely?”
“…….”
“Are you telling us to take it for granted that the Eldest Senior Brother grinds his body alone for the sake of the sect while looking forward to that day when we don’t know when it will come?”
“…….”
“Are we such useless rice-vermin?!”
Jin Cheon could not answer readily to the screaming disciple. Then other junior brothers from behind spoke as if chipping in.
“Are we that untrustworthy to you?”
“If it was going to be like this, why did you accept us into the sect?”
“Senior Brother, we are also disciples of the Twin Dragon Sect. Why are you ignoring us?”
At the questioning of such junior brothers, Jin Cheon unknowingly took a slight step back.
‘Why are these guys acting like this today?’
Did they get beaten less lately?
Every single one of them has eyes full of defiance.
Is neglecting the discipline of junior brothers while devoting himself to external activities lately coming back like this?
At times like this, he just needs to beat them all up.
Didn't God create fists for humans to correct collapsed discipline?
Is what Jin Cheon usually thinks.
But strangely….
“Hey, that is um…. You know that? About that?”
It is strange.
The fist does not go out.
Instead of the fist, the mouth tries to say something similar to strange excuses.
It is truly a strange thing.
‘The fist does not go out before words?’
That is normal?
Not to this Patrick Schneider.
Why am I doing this to the junior brothers now, I who hold the belief that most problems in the world are solved by beating them up….
‘Uh? Am I being pushed by the kids right now? Pushed in a battle of spirit? Me? This Radiant Dragon Great Master Jin Cheon?’
After realizing that fact, he was dumbfounded.
No, why am I being pushed by these bastards?
This body is working himself to the bone for the sect, so what am I lacking to be cowed by these bastards?
The moment Jin Cheon, with something momentarily surging up in a fit of rage, tried to use his hands on the junior brothers….
“Cheon!”
A voice that the Radiant Dragon Great Master Jin Cheon of the world absolutely cannot disobey was heard. When he turned his head, there….
“Master.”
And next to him was the ugly guy making a detestable face saying ‘I knew this would happen.’
‘That cowardly bastard.’
Obviously, as soon as he heard the sound of him moving, he must have run immediately and brought the Master.
“Master, you know that thing? This is nothing special, just that….”
“Follow me.”
“Master, it really is nothing special. I will tidy up quickly….”
“Will you not follow my words?”
“…….”
The Master looks at him with serious and stern eyes.
With those eyes that Radiant Dragon Great Master Jin Cheon absolutely cannot disobey.
“…Yes.”
Eventually, as Jin Cheon followed the Master, the voices of the junior brothers were heard from behind.
“As expected of The Ugly Dragon Scholar.”
“Hahaha. To punish the dog-bastard, there is no other way than for the Sect Leader of the Twin Dragon Sect to step forward personally.”
“Kuh… As expected of the Jaegal Clan.”
“Why couldn’t we think of that?”
“Exactly.”
You guys just wait and see later.
Especially the ugly guy.
But right now, he cannot disobey the Master.
The subtle anger felt even behind the Master’s back.
The Master at times like this could not be disobeyed.
After a while.
Jin Cheon was kneeling obediently in front of the Master, not knowing where to place his gaze.
The Master spoke to Jin Cheon.
“Is your body a little alright?”
“Yes. I am fine now.”
“According to the Tang Clan’s daughter, she said it would take a year of rest to recover?”
“Tsk, that quack….”
“…….”
The Master did not say any words.
He just gazed intently at Jin Cheon.
That gaze looking silently as if asking, Is that really true?
To tell a lie to those eyes was impossible for Jin Cheon.
“Well, actually it seems I need to rest a little more. Still, this much is enough to move sufficiently.”
“…Cheon.”
“Master, now is an important time. Our sect is also just about to grow, and if I succeed in this mission entrusted by the Murim Alliance, the sect’s position within the Murim Alliance will also rise.”
“…Cheon.”
“I am fine. Really. I just made a small mistake this time. I really am fi….”
“Jin Cheon!”
“…….”
As the Master spoke strongly with an angry voice, Jin Cheon’s mouth shut tight.
Radiant Dragon Great Master Jin Cheon of the world.
The official bomb of the Murim who butts heads even with the Sect Leaders of the Nine Sects One Gang or the Clan Heads of the Five Great Clans.
Such a figure, at this moment, shrank like a young child who made a mistake.
At that appearance, the Sect Leader of the Twin Dragon Sect sighed deeply.
“Whew….”
And he continued his words.
“Did you say you are fine?”
“…….”
“Yes. You might really be fine.”
“…….”
“But we are not fine.”
“…….”
“Do you think we would feel nothing watching you work yourself to the bone alone for the sake of the sect?”
Jin Cheon, who was listening obediently, asked back cautiously.
“But Master. Now is an important….”
“If you have to sacrifice this Master for the sake of what you wish to obtain in that important time, would you do it?”
“Could there be such a reason?”
To Jin Cheon who denied firmly, the Master said.
“Then why are you telling us to accept the life you deny as if it is natural?”
“…….”
At the Master’s stern rebuke, Jin Cheon lowered his head silently.
Above the crown of such a Jin Cheon’s head, the Master’s voice, much softened, was heard.
“Cheon, we are all fellow disciples. I mean we are those who are together under the name of Twin Dragon Sect.”
“…….”
“If you do everything alone, that is a disgrace and shame to us.”
“…….”
“Cheon, trust us just a little more. Although we may look lacking to you, even so, everyone must move forward together.”
“…….”
“That is what a Sect and Fellow Disciples are.”
At the Master’s words, Jin Cheon quietly bowed his head and said.
“The disciple respectfully follows the command.”
* * *
Patrick, who recalled all the memories of the past, sighed bitterly and said.
“I clearly said so back then.”
“…….”
“I had forgotten in the meantime. It’s absurd. Absurd.”
“…….”
“I lived grilling people saying the cost of meals was a waste seeing idiots repeating the mistake they made once.”
“Ahem, Bong-gong?”
“To think I was doing the same thing again.”
The delusion in his heart was all resolved.
He knew why the junior brother bastards were seen behind Mun Yul, who was defying him fiercely.
Because he was making the exact same mistake as back then.
In the first place, the initial plan was not this.
He intended to let the children whose training ended experience the Jianghu and at the same time fill the sect’s finances.
There were many methods.
He could send them as escorts to a merchant guild, or send them as escorts to an escort agency.
Or he could tell them to rob some bandits somewhere. Personally, the third was the most to his taste.
But why didn't he make that choice?
‘Because it’s dangerous.’
As a result of rolling them as hard as possible while borrowing the power of the World Tree for the past 3 years, the peep-peep chicks became a little better.
But the Jianghu is a dangerous and heartless place.
The Jianghu is a place where one does not know when, where, or how one might die a violent death.
What if they touch a giant of the Unorthodox Faction?
What if they get caught in a scheme or trap?
What if they get done in while letting their guard down?
Originally, the fledgling period when one just obtained power like that is the most dangerous time, so can he really send the disciples outside?
Eventually, when he came to his senses, he had already drawn up a business plan where he could earn money and was pushing that work.
While telling the children just to build a warehouse since it was awkward to let them play.
“I completely wrapped them in my bosom and went around. While cherishing them like gold or jade….”
“That is…. Ahem.”
Go Seok-hyeon was about to say a word asking where in the world is a person who rolls gold and jade so severely, but stopped.
“Those guys are nominal martial artists too. I was crazy. Crazy. I was raising the kids like flowers in a greenhouse.”
“…….”
Go Seok-hyeon stayed still looking at Patrick.
Looking at the expression, he seems quite pissed off, but he doesn't look anxious like a moment ago.
Rather, this is familiar.
Patrick lifted the liquor bottle in front of his eyes and blew the trumpet (drank straight from the bottle) just like that. And he wiped his mouth and said.
“Good. I admit my mistake.”
“Do not blame yourself too much. Isn’t it because the Bong-gong just cherished the children?”
“Correct. Did I not do it thinking of them?”
“That is so. So….”
“But they give shame to this Bong-gong just because I made a little mistake? Huh? Those things blue with youth speaking rudely.”
“Bong-gong?”
“Good. You mean you want to work as members of the sect? Kukuku…. Sure. A person should do what they want to do.”
“Bong-gong? What do you intend to do?”
“Ah, it is nothing special. Doesn’t the saying go that sprouts should be stepped on to grow and disciples should be minced to grow?”
“It is a saying I am hearing for the first time?”
“There is. It’s all there.”
“…….”
“Kukukuku…. Kuhahahahahaha!”
Ah, anxious.
“Just wait and see. Since I will mince you properly.”
Seeing Patrick bursting into mad laughter, it seemed the future would be full of hardships and adversity for the disciples.
At that appearance, Go Seok-hyeon thought.
‘I’m so glad I’m old.’
