Episode 89

“… Will you move now?”

“uh. Since there is a distance, we have to move now.”

“Then see you at the academy on Monday. If you get lost, please call me.”

11 p.m.

Soon it is time for most people to start going to bed.

I finished all the preparations and went out on the road as I was greeted by Cheongju-hwa.

‘I can’t remember the exact location 100%.’

However, he knew his habits, so if he took the time, he would surely be able to find it.

‘Beyond the mountains in the north, up to this point is certain.’

It wasn’t even a time when transportation was available anyway, so I went back and forth with my own hands.

After traveling for such a long time, after a journey of about two hours, I was finally able to find the place I was aiming for.

thud.

thump thump.

“Excuse me.”

In a secluded corner of a quiet village, the house was improvised to the point that I wondered if it was even possible to live there.

In a place where various antiques are piled up in the yard, I succeeded in meeting the face of the person I wanted to meet.

Tub.

Tub.

“Such nonsense. What kind of guy are you from this morning?”

Technically, it was midnight, but it wasn’t exactly wrong.

For him, now is probably a good time to start the day.

“I came here for a business. Cheongjong old man.”

“What, the blue-eyed little one knows me? Maybe it’s a family errand?”

He was in a position comparable to an elder in the previous Cheongga, but he was a person by the name of Cheongjong, who cut ties due to some sort of incident and lived alone.

In my personal opinion, I thought he might be the person most suited to the commonly used word of a hermit master.

“It has nothing to do with family. I knew where you were staying just because I had heard it before.”

“It’s too obvious to be a lie, and strange to be true. I don’t know what it is, but you’re also not an ordinary guy.”

“I would like to chat for a moment, but are you okay?”

In response to my constant, confident questions, Cheongjong also accepted them without escaping them.

“good night. Come inside.”

To be honest, the work after that wasn’t that difficult.

In fact, it can be said that the result has already been decided at the time of accepting my request for conversation.

“okay! That’s what I mean! That little guy is good at talking.”

“In order to understand the meaning of the senior citizens of Cheongjong, they have only narrowed their vision due to the harshness of what is already in front of them.”

For me, knowing all of Cheongjong’s tendencies, characteristics, and past, it was very easy for me to like him.

After arguing and mixing words for a long time, Cheongjong posed a question to me with an interesting expression.

“What is your name? From what I’ve heard, it seems like he knows every detail of the family, even if it’s not related.”

“My name is Han Kang-yoon. We have a connection with Cheongga due to various circumstances.”

“Yeah, anyway, there must be a reason why you came to this old lady in the back room.”

Now was the time to get the topic out of the way. I seriously corrected my expression and opened my mouth toward Cheongjong.

“What do you think about Qingdao rate?”

“What are your thoughts and what are you going to do? He’s wrong. Although he may be talented, he is by no means a person who will lead the family.”

“I am of the same opinion. His ideology does not match the ideology of the old Cheongga.”

An ideology is also an ideology, but if Qingdao-yul is left alone, it will become a very cumbersome enemy in the future story.

He was a person who had a complete opposite to this one, so to be honest, he was the type that did not work at all for conciliation or persuasion.

It meant that one day we would have to face each other as enemies.

So, even from now on, to face him as much as possible, you must have a hand.

“When the situation arises, we want to create a means to check the Qingdao rate.”

“A way to check the Qingdao rate? Do you mean there is such a thing?”

“I plan to get help from the blue dragon, the divine beast of the blue house.”

A divine beast who has been regarded as the guardian deity of Cheongga for a long time, its symbolism cannot be easily ignored even by the elder Qingdaoyul.

At that, Cheongjong blinked his eyes and asked the question again as if he did not understand.

“A blue dragon? Are you talking about the blue dragon I know?”

“Yes. That blue dragon is right.”

“You’re getting something wrong, that crazy serpent isn’t a convenient thing to do. It would be nice if I didn’t buy anger on the contrary.”

That perception is not wrong. This is usually the case with most divine beasts, but the Blue Dragon was also very demanding.

However, for me, who knew the knowledge of the original, of course, there was also a means to control the blue dragon.

“If there is a way to win the cooperation of the Blue Dragon, would you believe it?”

“Huh, really. It’s not like I’m lying. But he’s not the kind of guy who will cooperate quietly… … .”

“Obviously, the Blue Dragon is stingy when it comes to help, but if the conditions are right, it’s not necessarily so. And I know the conditions.”

After thinking for a while, Jong-jong nodded his head and expressed his intention to cooperate.

“But what do you think? I heard that he is doing his best to convince the blue dragon every day.”

“I will steal it.”

“… what?”

“That means we’re going to get the blue dragon out of the shrine.”

At my words, Cheongjong soon began to burst into laughter.

“Knuckle. The little one has gone completely insane. Yes, that is the only way to become a general manager who can do great things in the future. Do you have yourself?”

“As long as you lend me the family seal, I will surely succeed.”

“good night. It’s not worth anything to me anyway, so feel free to do whatever you want.”

So, I was finally able to obtain the seal of the Qing family from Qingjong.

With this, all preparations are complete.

‘… … .’

Now, there was only practice.

***

Quang!

“What the hell is wrong with you! Have you completely forgotten the promise you made with your ancestors?”

A private room with deep spiritual power. A man there vomited his anger and shouted into the air.

Then, a figure waving from an unseen place appeared and threw an answer to the man.

[It’s really stupid. He has no intention of lending his power to those who are not even aware of the price of that treaty. Don’t make me say it over and over.]

“… … .”

[it’s bothering. turn it off right now As you said, if it wasn’t for the agreement, the whole area would have already been burned.]

“… It would be better not to think that you will be able to act like that forever.”

Quang.

Cheongdo-yul, the head of one of the two major forces that make up the current Cheongga, and also the elder of the family. Then he frowned, kicked the door, and went back to his residence.

rattle.

“… You don’t look good. Did Cheongryong not have an answer today?”

“Ts. He’s not even worth respecting. How frustrating it is at this critical time.”

He was a blue dragon who had been with him for a long time as a god of the family, but to the present-day Cheongdo-yul, he was literally nothing but a treasure trove.

It was even more painful to the extent that the symbolism could not be ignored.

‘In order to hold down Zheng Ha’s position, he must have his strength… … .’

At present, the forces following the Qingdao-Yul and Chung-Ha factions had to be seen as maintaining equal power.

However, he was chosen by the blue and white sword, the treasure of the cleaning family.

If Qingdao-Yul couldn’t get the power of the Blue Dragon, the difference was sure to one day become a sharp dagger and sting Qingdao-Yul’s neck.

‘Damn it, blue. Could he have been chosen by the Blue Dragon?’

In fact, the Blue Dragon was not as stingy as he was.

Among the many powers of the Qing family, they are descendants of the direct clan who have served the Blue Dragon directly.

Recalling the appearance of Cheongju-hwa’s father, who even buried it with his own hands, Cheongdo-yul kicked his tongue at the rising displeasure.

‘Cheongsaun, you’re still tormenting me even when you’re dead.’

***

After returning to the academy, I began to search for a suitable time, looking for opportunities.

‘If possible, it would be better to aim for the gap that Qingdao-Yul left.’

As one of the elders of the Cheongga, as Qingdao-Yul also plays the role of a face-to-face, if you wait, an opportunity will come someday.

And luckily, just in time, there were rumors that Qingdao-Yul was leaving Korea for a while to show her face at a national event.

‘this Saturday. If you put the plan into action, then that’s it.’

A date was set, but the next most important gate remained.

It was to seek cooperation from Cheongju-hwa.

‘It’s absolutely necessary, but I can’t explain how… … .’

To be clear, this is quite risky.

There is also the possibility that he could completely pretend to be with the Qingdao Yul faction, or be accused of trying to steal Shinsoo beyond that and become wanted.

Of course, I was confident that it wouldn’t happen, but I was not at all comfortable asking Cheongjuhwa, who didn’t even know the proper circumstances, to do it.

Two days of procrastination.

In the end, Cheongjuhwa, who I couldn’t see, spoke to me first.

“Why are you like this these days? What do you have to say to me?”

“… There isn’t.”

“Then just say it. Don’t hesitate to keep worrying about it.”

To that, I explained the situation as carefully as possible and within a line that Cheongju-hwa could understand.

And, in fact, Cheongju-hwa accepted it so easily.

“Are you really okay?”

“why? As a result, aren’t you trying to f*ck the Qingdao rate? Then, of course, I like it.”

“It’s not wrong, but… … .”

In fact, from the point of view of Cheongju-hwa, the Cheongdo-yul was the root of all evil that caused all the tragedies. It was understandable that he felt so rejected because of that.

“I’m confident I won’t take it. Even if I get caught, I do not sell my face and I have the confidence to run away. And there is a back boat anyway.”

If it’s a rear boat, it’s definitely referring to cleaning shoes. I would have sold her name in any case, so I nodded softly.

“Then that’s it. In the first place, the reason why I had to be chosen by the Blue Dragon… … . Because Qingdaoyul wasn’t the author.”

Surely that’s right.

Considering the work of his father, Cheong Saun, the truth is that Blue Dragon is also just finding his original place.

As the person in charge said so, there was no reason for me to disappoint. In the end, after making an appointment, as soon as Saturday morning came, we left the academy together again.

The place we headed to is Dobongsan Mountain, which spans between Dobong-gu, Seoul and Uijeongbu, Gyeonggi-do.

It was the place where the Cheongga Shrine (神堂) was located, where the blue dragon slept.
