〈Episode 428〉 It’s been a while. (3)
By the time we arrived at our assigned location.
The first word I said was annoyance.
“Oh, why am I in the same place as you?”
These are the words I spat out while unpacking.
Behind me, a tall man was working hard to unpack my luggage.
It’s Woohyuk.
I was in the same room as Woohyuk.
“Haha, what can I do if they say there are no rooms available?”
“This is fucking rotten.”
The party said they didn’t have enough space so they forced Woohyuk and me into one room.
What kind of a case is this that a large family like Dangmun doesn’t have enough places to live?
When I heard it, I thought he was complaining because he didn’t want to give up the room.
The expressions on the employees’ faces and Dang So-yeol’s words seemed so apologetic that he couldn’t help it.
By the way, the iron wire also came with it.
Right now, he’s probably unpacking in the small room next door. Since I’m still getting annoyed, Woohyuk smirks and says,
“Well, I know it’s a shame you’re not my sister-in-law, but please bear with it.”
“What are you talking about, you crazy bastard? Who is your sister-in-law?”
“Well, there are so many that it’s hard to pick just one….”
Bam-!
“Ugh!”
Woohyuk screamed after getting hit on the back of the head while spouting nonsense.
“I’m going to get a hawk. A hawk.”
I just hit him lightly, and I ignored Woohyuk, who was rolling on the floor as if he was going crazy, and unpacked his luggage again.
There’s only one thought on my mind right now.
I guess I’ll just unpack and get some sleep.
That was all.
If I wanted to relieve my fatigue, I could use a bet to relieve it, but I needed to take a good rest like this once in a while.
When I was almost finished, I spoke to Woohyuk, who was still rolling on the floor.
“They say the banquet is at night. Are you going out?”
“Get out? Where?”
As expected, it was a joke. Woohyuk stopped rolling at my question.
He added while looking at it.
“The teacher is here.”
“ah….”

When the story of the shaman ghost was brought up, Woohyuk’s expression instantly hardened.
It’s refreshing to see that guy make that kind of expression.
“It’ll be okay if you go and come back a little later.”
Why is he looking so diffident when he came all this way to see me?
It seemed like he really didn’t want to go, but I wondered what kind of person Woohyuk, who doesn’t discriminate between people, was to hate it so much.
I’ve never met a Mudanggoesen before, so I don’t know what it feels like.
‘You’ll know when you meet me.’
Anyway, I had to meet him at least once regarding the brain child.
I was also curious as to why the shaman was suddenly carrying Namgungga’s ghost sword.
The purpose of meeting the shaman ghost was simple.
I was thinking of giving the brain to Namgungbia.
Originally, Magumhu was a martial artist who held a high position as a swordsman.
The way she looked when she had the brain in her hand was nothing short of monstrous.
The sword that could best handle thunder was Noea.
I don’t know if he’ll give it to me if I ask him to… but if he says he won’t give it to me.
‘That’ll be decided when the time comes.’
Since it’s not like there’s no way, I decided to look at it first and then think about it.
As I was organizing the plan, Woohyuk asked.
“What are you going to be doing until the banquet?”
What are you doing? Of course… .
“I need to rest.”
“You’re resting…? You?”
Woohyuk looks as if he can’t believe the answer.
“… What’s with that reaction? The person said he wanted to rest. Are you dissatisfied?”
“There is water too.”
“Are you really going to fall behind?”
The back of my neck was dizzy from the lame joke that didn’t even hit the mark.
Ahi, this guy.
If you want it folded in half, just tell me in advance.
As I was about to approach him, releasing his hand, Woohyuk continued speaking urgently.
“No, I said that because I feel like rest and you don’t go together.”
“What does this mean? Why don’t I fit in?”
Who else is as lazy and likes to lie around as I am?
When I said that as if it was ridiculous, Woohyuk let out a sigh and said.
“You practice all day long. If you feel like you’re not practicing, you just wander around. I’ve never seen you rest.”

“…”
Listening to Woohyuk, what he said seemed to be true as well.
Throughout his travels, he would train or take care of business, but when he wasn’t doing either, he would go out and kill monsters and drain their energy.
I know?
Come to think of it, I haven’t had a single day of rest.
If you think about it, it doesn’t seem strange that Woohyuk sees it that way.
‘I wasn’t such a diligent person.’
How did it end up like this?
“Oh, I don’t know. Anyway, I’m going to rest today.”
As I was about to throw off the bed and lie down, shouting like that.
I felt a presence outside the door.
-Your Majesty!
“…”
When I heard the voice, it was Dang So-yeol. Why did he suddenly appear?
An ominous feeling comes over me.
-Are you there?
As I heard the sound of them getting closer, I opened the door and peeked my head out.
“ah!”
Dang So-yeol, who had checked me out, came over with a big smile.
“why….”
I felt a strange sense of uneasiness and asked, “What should I say?” Tang So-yeol answered me brightly.
“Father, come look for me! Something came up!”
“…”
I wiped my face off at Dang So-yeol’s story.
I was just trying to get some rest… As expected, it seemed like the world had no intention of leaving me alone.
What a fucking world.
******************
After hearing Dang So-yeol’s words, he headed to the poison king.
Honestly, I didn’t want to go, but I wondered if something was wrong because they were calling me so urgently.
‘Just try not to say anything.’
If it wasn’t urgent, he was willing to show his temper once.
It’s the Tang Dynasty and the Nabal.
Since my direct blood relatives were right next to me, I could freely roam the Sega without anyone stopping me.
“Where are you going?”
I asked Dang So-yeol.

Because the destination was not where the head of the household was staying.
“Oh, father is in the guest room.”
“customer?”
A guest? Who are you talking about?
Is that Murong Hee-ah with the White Lotus Sword?
As soon as I had a slight doubt, Dang So-yeol spoke to me as if trying to solve it.
“Oh, I heard that other guests besides the princes came a few days ago.”
“huh?”
You came a few days ago?
ah?
‘Surely that’s why you said there wasn’t enough room.’
Now I understand why you asked me to share a room with you.
It seems that there was a shortage of rooms due to unexpected guests arriving earlier.
If there is anything a bit strange, it is that these people are from a prestigious family and a prestigious origin.
The question is whether this guest is important enough to be crammed into one room like this.
Since the group doesn’t really care about this kind of thing, if there had been someone a bit more picky, they might have questioned him about it.
Of course, I wonder if there is anyone who would be so bold as to question the Dangmun, a prestigious family.
‘Who the hell are you?’
Even the guests received when the King was not present.
That meant he was an important person.
By the time you reach the destination, you will see the Poison King standing in front of you.
I bowed my head to him and made an example of him.
“I heard you called.”
The Poison King smiles slightly at my words.
“I’m sorry to call you here when the trip is almost over.”
“…no.”
If you know, why are you calling?
I barely managed to hold back the urge to spit it out.
I was already tired from not being able to control my emotions, so I felt even more tired.
It’s been especially like that lately.
I tried hard to suppress my emotions and asked the Poison King.
“Why do you come to me?”
How urgent must it be that you must come to me?
Perhaps because he knew my expression was so bad, the Poison King answered with a somewhat embarrassed expression.
“The guest… asked me to bring the old prince, so I called him here in a hurry.”

“yes?”
I had to frown at the Poison King’s words.
A guest is looking for me?
… the guest of the party is me?
It was a completely nonsensical statement. Why was the customer looking for me?
“Who are you that you are looking for me?”
“Please follow me first.”
The Poison King said this and turned around and walked into his quarters.
How dare you just go in without even giving me a proper explanation… .
I took a step forward with a furrowed brow.
If there is no convincing reason, it may explode soon.
Anything more than this is beyond my personality’s limits.
Tang So-yeol followed suit, noticing my rotten expression.
The space you enter is quite large.
Compared to where I’m tied up, it’s almost twice as much.
It is a building that is comparable to the residence of the King. I thought of it while looking at it.
‘What kind of great human being must there be to give something like this?’
It is an unusual building at first glance.
I could guess that this was a space where guests who really needed to be treated with the utmost respect were welcomed.
Is there anyone in this family who would be worthy of receiving such treatment?
No matter how much I thought about it, no one came to mind.
As you continue to walk along the Poison King, you can see a small garden inside.
It seemed like a lot of money had been poured into it.
After walking for quite some time, the Poison King stopped in front of a door. Then he looked inside the room and spoke.
“Sir, I have brought the old prince.”
‘Elder…?’
I opened my eyes to the attitude of the Poison King.
It is incredible that the head of the Four Great Families, the Dokwang, would be so polite.
After finishing saying that he brought me here, the Poison King steps aside slightly. Then he looks at me.
“…”
It was a sign telling me to go into the room.
I felt slightly nervous at that sight and moved into the room.
The moment Tang So-yeol was about to follow me, the Poison King raised his hand to stop him.
It was a sign telling me not to enter.
I approached the room cautiously and looked inside.

Who the hell is that… .
“huh?”
As soon as you see the figure drinking tea inside, a question mark appears above his head.
The first thing you see is a boy with half of his face covered by his bangs, making it difficult to see his facial features.
The boy looks at me and nods his head slightly.
It’s a familiar face.
“you….”
The boy’s true identity was none other than Zhuge Hyuk, who would later be called the brains and greatest strategist of the Demonic Cult.
I wondered why Jegalhyeok was suddenly here, but there was something more important.
‘What do you mean this guy is here…?’
I quickly turned my head and looked at the person sitting across from Jegal Hyuk.
The old man’s gaze was already turned towards me.
A white-haired old man with wrinkles full of the traces of time and a body so thin that his bones are clearly visible.
Although he may look like a shabby and weak old man, it is safe to say that there is no one in the Central Plains who can ignore him.
“It’s been a while.”
It’s a high, dry, and sharp voice.
Despite his accomplishments and warm personality, his cold eyes still caught my eye.
“Elder…?”
“joy.”
A famous doctor who is said to have reached the pinnacle of medical skills and can save anyone as long as they are breathing.
Many people looked at the old man with respect for his great medical skills and called him this.
“It looks like you’ve been through a lot while I wasn’t looking. You look like you’re in a terrible state.”
He is a divine doctor.
