Absolute Regression

Episode 289 It wouldn’t have happened.

As the presence of the two mazons added to the joy of surviving, Jin Ha-ryeong’s heart began to beat more and more vigorously.

Both Hyeolcheon Doma, who was standing next to them with their long swords in hand, and Kwon Mana, who was slowly walking towards them, were both really scary.

‘These people are mazons!’

Until now, the Demonic Cult had been vague to her. She had heard that it was scary and cruel, but in reality, the magic cult she encountered was sword dance. He’s young, handsome, and good at joking.

But today she felt like she had seen the real Demon Cult.

The face of the horse that came close was really scary, but Jin Ha-ryeong tried to keep his expression as calm as possible.

“Thank you so much for saving my life.”

It was a thank you to both Majon and Ian.

“I will definitely repay this favor.”

Although she was afraid of the Mazons, she did not hate the two people who saved her.

The Mazons simply nodded once and did not show any condescension that they had saved their lives.

If her brother heard, she would scold her and say she was crazy, but she was curious about what kind of people these Magons were.

After greeting the two people, Jin Ha-ryeong looked at Ian.

She knew how dangerous it was to fly while hanging on to a sword. It was a sword that even flew while killing enemies.

He didn’t even give a single word of condescension when he said that he, Ian, had also saved her life.

Ian joked as he relieved Jin Ha-ryeong of his inner strength.

“friend! “Have you ever broken a promise when you agreed to meet?”

The word ‘friend’ resonated with Jin Ha-ryeong more deeply than any words he had ever heard in his life. It was a moment when the friendship between the two women took a step forward.

Jin Ha-ryeong touched his face and said.

“So it’s like this? “The only thing to see is your face.”

In response to her half-joking, half-self-mocking response, Ian said something unexpected.

“Then I have to show you something different starting today.”

Jin Ha-ryeong knew. Ian does not use his beautiful appearance as a weapon. That’s why it’s so strong and that’s why you can tell yourself that you’re beautiful. And it says it again. Looks don’t matter to us.

Yes, from today, there will be no Hubuk One Meal. It will become the best sword in Hubei and will move toward becoming the best sword in the world. From now on, there will be no danger of death from someone like Cho Rim.

Additionally, I learned a big lesson today.

It was really a narrow difference between life and death. If he had just given up and tried to die, he would have died before Ian and the Magons arrived.

But I was able to survive because I tried to fight until the end. I clearly felt that when Chunwoon chooses someone, he chooses from among those who did not give up until the end.

Just then, something as fast as light rushed towards them.

I love you so much.

Geommugeuk landed there at a fast pace. The posture was so natural that it felt like someone who had been here in the first place.

Geommugeuk looked around and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It was revealed that the Majons and Ian arrived in time to save Jin Ha-ryeong.

“It’s coming so quickly. “If it weren’t for these people, I would already be dead.”

Geommugeuk laughed at Jin Ha-ryeong’s joke.

“That’s why I’m friends with these people.”

Geommugeuk looked at Hyeolcheon Doma and Gwonma. His belief that he would leave it to the judgment of the two people was correct. These were two people who repaid their faith with faith.

“You can put more strength on your shoulders. “You’re so cool!”

“Where have you been wandering around and coming here now? “Just make the old man suffer.”

However, Hyeolcheondoma’s worried gaze was focused on the blood on Geommugeuk’s clothes.

“Is there a reward for making an old man suffer?”

“You bastard!”

At that time, Gwonma asked Geommugeuk.

“Are you hurt?”

“It’s not my blood. it’s okay.”

Gwonma nodded.

As he watched their conversation, Jin Ha-ryeong finally realized that Geommugeuk was the leader of the Demonic Cult. I thought the rumor that they had taken control of the Mazons was wrong. It should be said that he did not take over, but made him his own person. The eyes of the two people towards the sword dance were the eyes of their grandfather towards them, and also the eyes of their brother.

she could tell The people who saved his life were Ian and the two mazons, but in the end, he survived thanks to the sword dance. If it weren’t for the sword dance, they wouldn’t have moved.

“The granddaughter of the Murim Lord who owes Mine’s life twice! “I’m completely screwed.”

Geommugeuk and Ian laughed together at her joke.

Geommugeuk spoke to the two mazons.

“Please wait in the safe house with Ian. “I will take Sojeo to the Murim Alliance and take him there.”

“Are you done now?”

“No, there’s one thing left to check before I go.”

We need to confirm whether the Murim lord really destroyed the Mokcheon family.

No matter how much you think about it, I don’t think Jin Peicheon would have done such a thing, but you never know if he fell into someone’s conspiracy.

Geommugeuk looked at the Murim Alliance in the distance and made the joke he had said before as if it were serious.

“It really jumps this time, old man! “Maybe I should.”

* * *

Jin Ha’s army entered the battle of Maengju in stride.

Jin Peicheon, who was standing at the window and staring out, quickly turned around.

“What happened?”

“We mobilized the Extermination Unit and searched the entire area of Dongho, but we couldn’t find it. “Have you heard from the Blue Dragons yet?”

Jin Peicheon shook his head.

“What about Bihodan (飛虎團)?”

Still shaking his head. No matter how many times they released all the elites of the Murim Alliance and searched in all directions, they could not find Jin Ha-ryeong’s whereabouts.

There were no demands from Baek Cheon-gyeong, who was presumed to have kidnapped him. I was literally burning with worry.

“Let’s just disclose it to Moorim.”

Currently, there are restrictions on the search because the search is being conducted in secret. If the search was conducted openly, witnesses could have come forward.

But Jin Peicheon shook his head. These guys are big-hearted enough to kidnap the Murim Lord’s granddaughter. There was no way it would have caught anyone’s attention, and if it had been hastily made public, even Sadomaeng or other evildoers could have intervened.

Jinha thought that the words “This is all because of you!” might come out of his grandfather’s mouth. But Jin Feicheon never said anything like that, as if it was just your narrow-minded wish. He was not the type of person to shift responsibility to others just because he was cornered.

“Have you heard from Geommugeuk yet?”

Jin Feicheon nodded without saying a word.

The situation was gradually becoming one where sword dance was becoming the last hope.

But the more it happened, the more complicated Jinha’s feelings became.

‘Could I really have been deceived?’

What if all of this was a conspiracy of sword dance?

The image of my younger brother being held in the hands of a sword dance came to mind.

After kidnapping my younger brother, I thought that he might threaten me at a critical moment someday.

I was so scared of what I would do if I lost my younger brother that all my thoughts came to mind. The only person in this world with whom I can communicate is my younger brother.

Never once in my life did I think that I would lose my younger brother. But when it became a reality, I couldn’t control my fearful feelings.

What if you lose your younger brother?

In the future, your life will also change significantly.

And at this moment, Jin Peicheon was thinking the exact opposite.

“The child was confident that only he could save it.”

Jinha felt that his grandfather believed in sword dance.

When I hurried back after hearing that my younger brother had been kidnapped during a mission to the Destruction Demon Corps, my grandfather at the time did not believe in sword dance.

When I asked who did it, I answered like this.

―It’s a sword dance or Baekcheongyeong.

And the grandfather asked, staring at himself.

-Who do you think you are?

At that time, I did not completely believe in sword dance and had hopes that the martial arts warriors would discover it.

But now the grandfather believed in sword dance. I believe it not because I believe it, but because the situation is so hopeless. Although he was stronger than anyone else in the world, he felt like he had become an ordinary grandfather when his granddaughter’s life or death was at stake.

“I will look for it again and come back.”

Just as Jinha was about to leave, Maengjujeon’s military officer came running and reported.

“The young lady has returned.”

Jin Feicheon and Jin Hagun were surprised.

Jin Feicheon suddenly got up from the Great Temple and jumped down.

Soon after, Jin Ha-ryeong came in there.

She walked in first, followed by Sword Dancer.

“grandfather!”

Jin Ha-ryeong ran and hugged Jin Pae-cheon. When I saw my grandfather, tears poured out. After overcoming the danger of death, she realized once again how big her grandfather’s presence was in her life.

“Are you hurt anywhere?”

“I’m fine.”

Although his face and body were damaged, he suffered no internal injuries.

“Welcome, welcome back.”

Tears formed in Jin Feicheon’s eyes. Although he had a heart of iron, his heart was moved when he saw his granddaughter return safely. I don’t even remember how long it’s been since I shed tears.

Jin Ha-ryeong also reunited with Jin Ha-gun.

“Brother.”

Jinha hugged his younger brother tightly.

“sorry.”

All of this happened because of me. Because it started when I suspected my teacher.

“Why are you sorry brother? “It’s my fault for being caught so unexpectedly.”

“Don’t say that.”

As the reunion, which clearly showed how precious they were to each other, came to an end, Jin Pae-cheon and Jin Ha-gun’s passionate eyes turned to the sword dance.

Saving Jin Ha-ryeong was more important than anything else to the two. It was a bigger deal than saving his own life.

“Thank you so much for saving Haryeong.”

Jin Feicheon formally handed over his hand and expressed his gratitude.

Geomjugeuk also responded politely.

“Jin Soje is not only Lord Meng’s granddaughter, but she is also my friend. “Don’t worry too much.”

How to repay a life debt by saving a life. Jin Pae-cheon decided that one day he would save Geommugeuk’s life.

Meanwhile, Jinha was ashamed of himself for doubting the sword dance even for a moment.

‘I still have a long way to go.’

In the past, it would have ended in shame and inferiority, but now it is different. I felt like I needed to work harder and work harder. Seeing that Geommugeuk was stimulating him even at this moment, he was truly a person whose very existence was stimulating.

“Go get treatment first and rest. Let’s talk about the backlog later. And you can talk to me for a moment.”

Jin Ha-gun and Jin Ha-ryeong noticed that the grandfather wanted to talk to Geommugeuk separately. Since the conversation with Sword Dance could be discussed later, the two men obediently retreated.

“Your grandfather.”

While walking with Jin Ha-gun, Jin Ha-ryeong turned around and said.

“I’m so happy to see my grandfather again.”

Jin Peicheon smiled and nodded. My heart sank as I thought about what would have happened if I had never seen that child again.

Just like that, only two people remained in the battle of Maengju.

“What happened to Baek Cheon-gyeong?”

“He died.”

I expected that to be the case since my granddaughter returned, but hearing those words directly from Geommugeuk felt strange.

“Why do you say you kidnapped Haryeong?”

Then, surprising words flowed from Geommugeuk’s mouth.

“Baek Cheon-gyeong is the younger brother of the Mok-cheon family head.”

At that moment, Jin Peicheon opened his eyes wide.

How could he have forgotten about Moqianjia?

“They are all dead.”

“no. “Only the family head’s younger brother survived.”

“I believe he’s dead too.”

“I faked my death.”

Only now did Jin Peicheon understand Baek Cheonjing’s dual appearance. Could it be that all of this had something to do with my son’s death?

And the most important question emerged from today’s conversation.

“I will ask my lord. “Are you the master who destroyed the Mokcheon family?”

There was a heavy silence.

Geommugeuk thought that this silence was not a silence acknowledging the incident. If he really did it, there is no way he would fall into such suspicious silence. This silence is a silence with a story.

Soon, Jin Feicheon let out a short sigh and started talking.

“I went to them that day to seek revenge. “It was my family’s revenge, so I went alone.”

His expression frowned, as if he was vividly remembering the scenes of that day.

“They were all dead when I arrived.”

Jin Peicheon proved that he was telling the truth in the most powerful way he could.

“I swear by my dead son and daughter-in-law. “I didn’t kill them.”

The fact that he, who values honor, risked his son means that what he said is true. He also knew that revealing the truth was that important.

And what happened that day remained a big scar on Jin Feicheon.

“When I saw that, it brought me to my senses. “Do you know what I thought when I saw that scene, running like a madman for revenge?”

After a while, Jin Peicheon expressed the emotions of that day in a long sigh.

“I thought it was fortunate.”

Geomgeuk just listened in silence.

“I thought it was fortunate that I was the Murim Lord. I really thought that I could have done something like this if this hadn’t happened first. “I should have been mourning and getting angry over innocent deaths!”

Jin Feicheon frowned. Anguish was evident in his expression.

“The Lord would not have exterminated them.”

Jin Feicheon looked at the sword dance and asked.

“Do you really think so?”

No, you never know. How can we determine how far parents who lose their children will go? Nevertheless, Geomgeuk spoke firmly.

“Because your lord is not that kind of person.”

Jin Peicheon let out a long sigh again. It did not suit his usual unconventional appearance. It was clear that this incident was a big wound in his life.

He must have been suffering the whole time, thinking that he might have destroyed it and being disappointed in himself for thinking he was lucky to see it. Because he had lived his entire life by convention, his wounds must have been deeper than others.

Geommugeuk repeated the previous words once again.

“The Lord wouldn’t have done that.”

Jin Peicheon’s eyes trembled. At this moment he knew. He said he had wanted to hear this from someone for a very long time. So I wanted to say this.

‘Yeah I wouldn’t have done that.’

Jin Feicheon looked at the sword dance with deepened eyes.

“Why do you trust me so much? “You don’t even know me very well.”

“I don’t know much about your lord. But isn’t one thing clear?”

Geommugeuk added calmly.

“Since the leader would not have done that, wouldn’t I be able to stand alone in the middle of the Murim Alliance?”
