Chapter 670
My name is.
I had to stop with a somewhat blank expression after hearing Gu Hee-bi’s words.
‘Grandfather?’
Because such an unexpected character popped up.
Grandfather.
If what I think I mean is correct, it would mean the ancestor of the Ku family and the father of the father.
‘Who is that…?’
Actually, he was a person I didn’t know.
To be exact, I would say I have never heard of it.
Not only in my past life, but also in this life, I have never met or heard of my grandfather.
I just know that he died before I was born.
Since Guga was originally a place that did not hold ancestral rites or rituals to raise ancestors, unlike other Sega, I never thought deeply about it, thinking that it would naturally be dead.
But why is it suddenly popping out here?
‘You mean he was alive?’
I’ve heard the story a few times.
There’s even a story that the Dark King himself mentioned, but I’ve never thought much about it.
‘Your grandfather left the horse in the care of Gu Hee-bi?’
Even if it’s out of the blue, isn’t this story too out of the blue?
“Suddenly, grandfather. What do you mean?”
As I asked with a question, Gu Hee-bi suddenly hit me in the forehead.
I could have avoided it, but I didn’t bother to do so.
Taak-!
He looked at Gu Hee-bi, his forehead still throbbing.
“Brother, what does your grandfather say to your grandfather?”
“Then what is your grandfather, your grandfather?”
“You’re so rude.”
“I never thought the word ‘manners’ would come out of your mouth, sister.”
It was absurd for a nobleman whose reputation for being a dirty person had spread throughout the central plains to discuss etiquette.
“I don’t think it’s possible to be polite to someone whose face and name I don’t even know. Is what you just said true, Sister?”
It doesn’t matter whether my grandfather is alive or not.
Since he is someone I’ve never seen in my past life, I don’t care whether he is alive or not.
but.
“My grandfather left that with my older sister. Is that true?”
If he said he entrusted the horse to Gu Hee-bi, the story would be different.
Well, that really becomes a family affair.
“Why would I lie to my brother?”
“If you look for it, you might find it.”
“That’s sad. Is that all we have between us? When I was little, I cleaned up after my little brother and played with him so many times… .”
“Sister.”

I cut him off because I thought the story was getting too long.
“I’m not joking.”
“Hmm.”
As time goes by, my patience also gets shorter.
“Is it really true that your grandfather showed up and left it to you?”
When I asked with suspicion, Gu Hee-bi held out her hand instead of answering.
“Catch it.”
I took his hand without hesitation because I thought I knew what he was going to do.
Whew! The energy is moving.
The energy of Gu Hee-bi and my energy intertwined, and the Gu Yan Hualun Gong began to resonate.
“From now on, I will tell only the truth to my little brother.”
As Gu Hee-bi speaks, the energy begins to move and bind them together.
It’s forbidden. Gu Hee-bi linked herself with my energy and put a ban on herself.
“Starting with the question earlier.”
I didn’t ask any useless questions about why we were doing it this way, because we both knew that this was the most convenient way.
“That’s right. My grandfather left that child in my care.”
There is no movement of energy. The pulse is normal and breathing is not disturbed.
It means truth.
“Then… since when-.”
“Brother. That’s not it.”
Just as I was about to ask the next question, Gu Hee-bi cut me off with a laugh.
“It’s only right that we both do it once. Why are you asking so many questions to yourself?”
“…”
Do you have something to ask me?
“hurry.”
He frowned at Gu Hee-bi’s words, but whispered without much emotion.
“From now on, I will only tell you the truth.”
“good.”
Gu Hee-bi smiled, as if she was satisfied with the answer.
Soon he asked me to speak.
“That kid. Are you going to kill him?”
I nodded my head at the sudden question.
It was so direct, so I answered right away.
“Look.”
It’s ambiguous, but I’ve already made up my mind a long time ago.
I think it might be a remark I made without too much hesitation.
“…why?”
Advertisements
“Because it’s something that needs to be done.”
My thoughts on this remain unchanged.
“Is it your job to kill that child?”
“Sister, stop treating me like a child. That’s not it.”
“Little brother.”
“I know you don’t know much, so I’m just trying to cover it up, so I’ll put up with it until now. Don’t make me add more weird stuff.”
I’m getting irritated. I tried to hold it in, but it was making it impossible for me to hold it in.
I’m watching Gu Hee-bi while suppressing my anger like that.
“… Little brother, something has changed?”
Gu Hee-bi spoke to me with a look of sadness in her eyes.
Her gaze pierced my heart and made me feel bitter.
“It changed. It had to change.”
Even so, nothing changes.
“You’ve changed too, Sister. Why do you keep covering up for that?”
“well.”
Gu Hee-bi continues speaking with a smile at the question that she cannot understand.
“But I believe that my younger brother will become like that when he gets to know that kid. So.”
“I don’t want to know.”
Funny. I didn’t need to hear any more.
‘How much more do I need to know here?’
It was something I had experienced in my past life to the point of being sick of it.
It meant that there was no need to know more about it or to endure it.
‘Cheonma is different from Namgung Biana and Jegal Hyuk.’
People can change.
This is something I have experienced throughout my life, but Cheonma was on a different level.
Could the Heavenly Horse be a being that can change? It could be.
One.
‘How can you believe that?’
What if that doesn’t happen? Can I handle what happens then?
If you are not sure about this, it would be better to deal with it before it happens.
“Do you think that is the right thing to do, brother?”
“The issue of right and wrong has long since passed. I said it before. I’m just doing what I have to do. So tell me.”
The limit was passed,
and emotions began to mix with the energy.
“Why did that man named Grandfather leave that to my older sister?”
“…”
Knock knock.
The old tabletop begins to tremble with energy.
It is not intended to be threatening. It is simply the harsh energy that is escaping, unable to be contained.
“…”
“…”
Their eyes, filled with each other’s passion, meet.
Time passes. It was only a moment, but that time felt unusually long. As the moment passed, the first one to speak was Gu Hee-bi, who had heard the question.

The moment I thought he was going to give me an answer.
“I won’t answer.”
“…what?”
After hearing Gu Hee-bi’s words, I couldn’t help but wrinkle my already wrinkled face even more.
“…What the hell is that?”
“It seems like there’s nothing more to say to a younger sibling who’s already decided the answer. Don’t you think so?”
In short, it meant that he was full.
He looked at Gu Hee-bi as if he was glaring at her, but Gu Hee-bi’s attitude was the same.
There is only one way to do it.
“Do whatever you want.”
If you don’t want to tell, I won’t bother asking.
The only condition for the ban was that you not tell lies.
“I’ll just do whatever I want.”
Family business? Grandfather’s request?
Who knows.
I just have to do what I have to do.
With that thought in mind, I get up.
Sling.
I heard the sound of a sword being drawn.
Woohoo-!
Then, a dark darkness fills the room.
The eyes grow cold and creepy.
“Sister.”
He said without turning his head.
The one who pulled out the sword was Gu Hee-bi.
She was thrusting the tip of her sword at me, who had turned his back on me.
Hururuk.
The flames that started from her hand completely surrounded Gu Hee-bi’s sword.
The heat was released.
The flame rotates and heat is released.
There is no hostility, but there is a sense of resistance.
That is what Gu Hee-bi’s sword was saying.
“What does this mean?”
“It means exactly what you see.”
Gu Hee-bi said with a bitter smile.
“As long as my brother’s intentions are clear, I can’t send my brother to that child.”
“So? Are you going to fight me?”
“A fight? Does this older sister not see eye to eye like that?”
Hwaruk-!
The intensity of the flames increases.
“I’ll probably lose one-sidedly. My younger brother is strong, after all.”
“…”

I am speechless at the words he blurts out without hesitation.
Who would have thought that the proud Gu Hee-bi would blurt out such trivial words?
Even in the midst of all this, his expression remains unwavering.
If it were the original, I would have ground my teeth and refused to admit it.
But you put it down like that and still pick up your sword?
‘Did you have a change of heart after touching Hwagyeong?’
I don’t know. I couldn’t tell how much Gu Hee-bi had changed over the years.
But…
“Knowing that, you still won’t let me go? Are you really crazy, Sister?”
Whatever it was, it was spicy and hot.
“Is that so precious?”
Enough for my sister to point a sword at me?
I didn’t say anything back.
I remembered it the moment I was about to say it.
We clearly shared the same father, but we never had a relationship that could be called family.
So I couldn’t spit it out.
It’s too much to call my sister family, because I was the one who created her end.
[I’m happy.]
I remember the image of Gu Hee-bi, who, despite bleeding and closing her eyes, insisted on asking me for happiness.
Thinking about it, my mood instantly turned to shit.
‘Fuck.’
ha.
He spat out the curse and sighed.
Woof.
I turned my energy around and cooled down. Don’t let your emotions consume you.
Now is the time to be even more careful.
There.
“Sister, you keep making mistakes. It’s not a matter of defeat.”
Gu Hee-bi is amazing.
I don’t know how she got there, but she finally reached Hwa-gyeong at that age, so she’s definitely worthy of being a candidate for the Sword Master in the future.
Still.
“You can just finish it before then.”
Considering my current level, I’m at best a three-step intellectual.
So, all I have to do is knock me down and leave.
Uduk.
He kicked the ground and ran towards Gu Hee-bi.
He wanted to finish it off quickly and get out.
“…!”
As he approached her nose, Gu Hee-bi widened her eyes in surprise.
At that moment.
Kwajik–!!!
The roof of the cabin collapsed and something dug in.
Kwung-!
Kwuddudduk—!!
The friction between the energies caused a burst of wind pressure.
A violent wave of energy swept across the area.
I stood on the ground that had become a mess, looking straight ahead, as the old hut disappeared without a trace.
Someone was blocking me from the thick layer of dust.

The fluttering energy was a silent color that did not contain a single ray of light.
It was glaring at me as it controlled that energy and blocked the rough energy.
“… You. What are you?”
“…”
“Why are you bothering me, sister?”
I had to feel my heart gradually cooling down as I looked at such a woman.
It’s a heavenly demon.
Cheonma stands in front of Gu Hee-bi and glares at me with sharp eyes.
Her purple eyes are brighter than the moon.
Her purple-tinged black hair is more beautiful than a starry night.
Except for the unique atmosphere, it had the appearance of a heavenly horse I had seen in my previous life.
“Don’t bother your sister.”
“…haha.”
I couldn’t help but burst out laughing at what she said.
How could I not laugh?
“No. This is not it.”
But isn’t that too much?
“At least you shouldn’t be there doing that.”
“…”
It’s changed so much.
I never thought I’d see that kind of thing in my life.
The sight of Cheonma standing in front of the surprised Gu Hee-bi and blocking me.
How could it be so contradictory?
As I look at it, the emotions that have been pent up in me begin to slowly tremble.
The anxiety disappeared and
the fear that had been creeping in disappeared.
So the remaining guilt cooled down and turned into anger.
“That position shouldn’t have been mine. It shouldn’t have been yours either.”
The position of guarding the Gu Hee-bi.
Anyone can take it, but at least you and I can’t.
It definitely should have been that way.
“Especially if you don’t know anything.”
Hearing my words, Cheonma frowns and tilts his head.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. Anyway, don’t bother my sister.”
“Yeon-ah. Wait a minute….”
“If you bully my sister.”
Cheonma nodded his head and spoke to me.
“I won’t forgive you either.”
“…”
Her words resonate and shake my heart.
forgiveness?
Did Cheonma tell me to forgive him?
“How dare you say that?”
It’s ridiculous.
Advertisements
You and me.
Even though he is in a position where he cannot be forgiven no matter what happens, how can he say that so nonchalantly?
As I was looking at that Cheonma, for some reason a phrase came to mind.
-Forgetfulness is a blessing.
I don’t remember exactly when or from whom I heard it, but
it seemed to fit the current situation particularly well.
Yes, oblivion is a blessing.
You can say that because you don’t remember anything.
‘No, even if you remembered, you would have been the same.’
That’s why it’s called Cheonma (Heavenly Demon).
They won’t feel any guilt at all, and it’s obvious that they’ll just end up causing the same bloodshed and staining the world with blood.
The being before my eyes was that kind of being.
It had to be that way.
That’s right.
I released the energy and let it flow into my body.
The energy that started from my heart penetrated my blood vessels and took over my body.
Swish.
The hair becomes darker and the blood vessels in the eyes become more prominent.
After that, the silk wrapped around his hand also turned a darker color.
“That’s right, no matter how I looked at it, I thought it was too difficult. It could have just ended here.”
“dong…!”
Gu Hee-bi tries to stop me by saying something.
Kuung-!
My body had already arrived in front of Cheonma.
Kwak-!
“!”
He grabbed the devil’s neck as it was.
He immediately burst his bet and jumped in.
This is something that came to mind from the moment I decided to stop the bloodshed.
Kill Cheonma somehow.
That moment is right now.
