Dark and Light Martial Emperor

Episode 3.

The Return of the Prodigal Son (2)

“Really?”

“yes.”

With his top off, he held his back with his left hand and raised his sword with his right hand, aiming it at the middle finger. No matter how long she had been standing in that position, Yeonwi’s entire upper body was covered in sweat.

The cold autumn wind created a translucent haze on his body. The breathing was somewhat rough, but the sound was not loud.

“How did it look?”

“yes?”

“I asked how things were between you two.”

Kang Yoon spoke honestly about what he felt.

“It was only for a short time, so I couldn’t know the details. However, the atmosphere didn’t seem bad.”

“is it.”

“yes.”

Yeonwi, who had been watching the tip of his sword for an hour, finally relaxed his stance.

Slurp.

The sound of the sword entering the armor was as smooth as a song.

‘You said you ordered it?’

After hearing Kang Yoon’s report, Yeonwi was inwardly skeptical.

The first child hated the second child. To some extent, it was to the point where they treated me like a person who didn’t exist at all.

And Yeonwi knew why the eldest son hated the second child.

But you confessed that you did it yourself? Why?

“Any other special details?”

“There was none.”

“I understand.”

Kang Yoon bowed his head modestly.

“I will call the head of the corporation.”

“That’s it.”

“yes?”

“I said you don’t have to call me.”

An honest question appeared on Kang Yoon’s face, which was as hard as a wooden doll.

“Are you not going to charge Lee Gongja separately?”

Yeonwi watched Kang Yoon in silence.

Kang Yoon’s complexion turned pale. When I made eye contact with the head of the family, I felt as if hundreds of swords were piercing my body.

“Kang Daeju.”

“Yes yes!”

“Do not forget your duty.”

“sorry!”

“Let’s go.”

Kang Yoon bowed his head and stepped back in a polite manner.

Yeonwi looked up at the sky.

There wasn’t a single cloud in the sky. The wind was cool and the sunlight was just right.

‘Isn’t it something to worry about?’

He was surprised to see the eldest child suddenly hugging the second child during the ancestral rites.

It is easy for a person’s tongue to be tainted by lies, but it is difficult for one’s actions to be tainted by lies. The sight of the first child soaked in emotion while holding the second child was clearly filled with deep emotion.

And to yourself.

Yeonwi felt an inexplicable embarrassment at the sight of her eldest child, who had never come so close to her father before.

‘Am I thinking of something strange?’

By the time I was eighteen, I was all grown up. If it weren’t for Murim’s son, I would have gotten married.

However, the eldest son has never shown himself as a saint. Even the father himself did not know what the eldest son was thinking.

Yeonwi took out the sword from his belt and threw it on the weapons display stand.

thud!

The display stand shook violently. On the outside, it looked like any other long sword, but the specially made sword was a heavy sword weighing 20 pounds.

“Wangjeon (王典).”

“Yes, matriarch.”

A faint voice came from the empty space.

“When did the Namgung family say they would arrive?”

“They say it will take about four days.”

“Did you say that the Nangoong family’s son was also coming?”

“Yes, I am the youngest daughter of the Namgung family. It is said that he came to the institute where a scientist is studying to briefly audit a lecture. “It already arrived a few days ago.”

“okay?”

He is not interested in the daughter of the head of the family. However, it was said that one of the heads of the Namgung family was visiting Yeonga. It was like receiving a big guest for the first time in a long time.

“Tell the owner of the guesthouse. “Be prepared to receive guests within two days.”

“All right.”

There was a feeling of fatigue that could not be seen in the blunt Yeonwi’s eyes.

At least it didn’t seem to be because of the two sons.

* * *

Three days passed very quickly.

Because there was a lot to think about and a lot to organize. Although it was a punishment, it was a very precious time for Yeon Ho-jeong.

Yeon Ho-jeong came into the room and organized his thoughts.

“In the end, this is what I have to do. Prepare and prevent.”

Yeonga disappears after a year and five months.

Furthermore, twenty years later, the evil religion turns the central region into hell.

It was a problem that neither of the two could take lightly. Yeonga was his family, and the Saeumgyo Rebellion burned down the entire central plain. If you don’t stop the Saeumgyo, your family will eventually be in danger.

In fact, the place where Saeumgyo first began cutting into the central plains was Jiangsu Province, where Yeonga was located.

‘Besides Saeumgyo, there are two other adversaries that are comparable to it. ‘If we want to block their attack in advance, we can prepare now.’

I felt like my head was overheating.

After calming down with a few deep breaths, Yeon Ho-jeong quickly made a decision.

‘it’s okay. Whether it’s a private school or something, that’s not what’s important right now. What’s important is the family home.’

Now that I’ve returned to the past, I’ve been able to do many things I couldn’t do before.

However, Yeon Ho-jeong did not set too many goals. In any situation, he was quick to judge what was most important at the moment and what to do first to achieve his goal.

What is important now is the family name.

How to protect your family?

Yeon Ho-jeong lightly slapped his cheek.

“Let’s look at the body first.”

He sat cross-legged under the bed and examined his body.

‘also.’

I’ve checked it several times at the research center, but I’m still disappointed.

‘I don’t know where to start.’

Compared to his peers, his ability to attack was quite high. Even Yeonjipyeong, who overwhelmed Yeonhojeong, was inferior to Yeonhojeong in terms of internal strength.

However, as with everything in the world, quality was more important than quantity.

‘Is the law of non-returning mind the state of seven states?’

Biyeonsimbeop was the basic trial law of Byeoksan Yeonga. The level is not high and the power to unleash internal power is not strong.

It is literally basic, but even after eighteen years of age, I was only able to attain seven qualities.

Yeon Ho-jeong felt bitter inside.

‘It was definitely not a good talent.’

In order to change to the next martial arts skill, the non-relationship method had to reach at least the level of nine success.

Yeonhojeong only learned its composition a few days before the family’s extinction. However, Yeon Ji-pyeong achieved great success in Biyeonsimbeop at the age of sixteen.

The difference in talent between the two was so great.

Yeon Ho-jeong closed his eyes.

‘Right now, it’s just the non-relationship law. It would be better to just get rid of it now.’

Twenty-six years later, I still vividly remember the principles of Sim Dharma.

He recited the nine precepts of the law.

Sssss.

A faint haze rose from the body in the lotus position.

The true energy had not yet been realized in the visible area. Although my internal energy was sufficient, it was because my body was not used to the expulsion.

But even for a moment.

Weeing.

A signal came from Danjeon.

Compared to the time of Emperor Heukam, Danjeon’s blood vessels, muscles, and everything are in a poor state. However, his mind had completely disassembled the non-relationship law. It would be possible to attach it to the body somehow.

After a while.

Wow! Wow!

A faint light green radiance appeared in the haze rising from his shoulders.

It was a dull color that flickered repeatedly, not yet very bright.

Cold sweat formed on Yeon Ho-jeong’s forehead.

‘It’s not easy.’

Still, it wasn’t impossible.

Pick!

My shoulders twitched.

Tuk! Fight!

My entire arms, from the upper arm to the lower arm, wriggled arbitrarily.

It was the same with legs crossed in lotus position. The true energy extends to the four limbs and gradually unclogs the blocked blood vessels.

Another half an hour passed like that.

Yeon Ho-jeong’s nose was drenched in sweat and a fight broke out! There was a sound.

Grumble.

Dark red blood flowed from the nose. The true energy rose to the head, where numerous acupuncture points were concentrated.

‘done.’

A small smile appeared on Yeonhojeong’s lips.

‘Finally, if you complete one week.’

Jiing! Ji-ing!

A light green haze, slightly brighter than before, leaked out from my entire body.

“Whoa.”

Yeon Ho-jeong took a deep breath, opened her eyes, and relaxed her cross-legged posture.

“I thought it would be easy, but it’s harder than I thought.”

He got up from his seat.

Yeon Ho-jeong, who repeatedly clenched and opened his fist, nodded.

“It’s worth a little attention.”

The body remained the same, but the nature of the internal energy changed, and the blood vessels became much more pierced. The foundation for learning proper internal skills was finally created.

It was an incredible conversion speed.

“It’s important from now on.”

Yeon Ho-jeong thought for a moment and shook his head.

“You’ve already made your decision, so why are you worrying more? “Let’s not waste time.”

After taking a clean bath and changing his clothes, he headed straight to the family home.

While going there, many people looked at Yeonhojeong and said hello.

“Meet the Archduke.”

“Your Majesty.”

Formal greetings that never lack politeness.

However, there was no difficulty in respect or superiority in their greetings. Of course, there were no disparaging glances.

It is so hard and blunt that it feels cold at first glance. No matter what they were thinking on the inside, on the outside, their words and actions seemed to fit a neat framework.

‘It is the rule of law with no flexibility.’

The family atmosphere felt new again.

And naturally, comparisons were made with the atmosphere of Heukje Castle.

‘It’s probably better than the Black Emperor Castle.’

In the long run, it seemed like the atmosphere of Yeonga would be better. It may seem stingy when it comes to affection, but at least they are thorough in obeying orders.

But even though it was hard, it was too hard. This atmosphere had the potential to cause some kind of problem in the future.

‘Isn’t it something for me to worry about?’

After a while, he stood in front of the building he was going to.

The entrance to the building was guarded by two gate guards. They were middle-aged warriors, each carrying a sword and a sword.

“I see you, Grand Duke. “Why are you here?”

“To see my father.”

The eyes of the gate inspector sparkled.

Until now, the Archduke had never visited the head of the family before.

“Maybe the head of the family gave us a separate message without our knowledge?”

“It’s not like that.”

“If you do this, you won’t be able to enter.”

Yeon Ho-jeong frowned.

“It’s a bit urgent. “Let it be known inside.”

“sorry. “The head of the family has given a strict order not to let anyone in before noon.”

Even a strict order?

“You got the time wrong. “Then, is it okay if I tell you what I said later?”

“of course.”

“Okay then, just tell me what I have to say.”

“Please speak.”

“Tell them that I will learn the Byeokna Jingyeol (碧羅眞訣) in advance.”

At that moment, the eyes of the gatekeepers widened.

“yes?”

“Didn’t you hear? “I will learn it in advance, so just tell them that you know.”

Yeon Ho-jeong turned his back.

“Then, good luck.”

“Now wait!”

“huh?”

“Did you just say Byeoknajingyeol?”

“however?”

The gatekeepers gaped.

Yeon Ho-jeong frowned.

“You’re not really deaf, are you?”

“….”

“I’ll be sure to tell you. “So that you don’t say anything else later.”

Yeon Ho-jeong, who was walking away from the shocked gate guards, suddenly saw a boy in his eyes.

“Jipyeong?”

“oh? “Brother, are you here?!”

“Uh, I’m going to see my father.”

Yeon Ji-pyeong looked at Yeon Ho-jeong with surprised eyes.

In a family where everyone wore stiff masks, Yeon Ji-pyeong was showing the most honest and humane reaction. Yeon Ho-jeong smiled without realizing it.

“Uh, why?”

“Just because of this and that. But what are you doing here? Are you here to see your father too?”

Yeon Ji-pyeong pouted his lips.

“I was wandering around looking for my brother because he wasn’t home.”

“me? Why me?”

“I said I would buy you food. “I’ve even looked for a good guesthouse.”

“ah?”

Yeon Ho-jeong cleared his throat as if he finally remembered.

“Is there any need to eat it outside? There’s enough inside…”

Yeon Ho-jeong couldn’t finish his sentence. This is because I could see Yeon Ji-pyeong’s cow-like eyes getting wet.

For some reason, my mouth felt stuffy.

“Then, should we eat outside to get some fresh air?”

Yeon Ji-pyeong’s face suddenly brightened.

“yes!”

Yeon Ji-pyeong, excited, guided Yeon Ho-jeong towards the main gate. His majestic eight-legged steps were reminiscent of a triumphal general.

Yeon Ho-jeong sighed inwardly.

‘Wait, Byeoknajingyeol.’
