Chapter 214: Omen (1)
Omen (1)
You seem to have caused a lot of trouble.
I gulped after hearing Fathers cold words.
In his calm voice, there was definitely some anger.
And considering how rare it was for Father to show emotion, I knew how serious this was.
Im fucked.
All the things I planned to deal with after returning to the clan piled up and were exploding right now.
Which meant that I was responsible for all of this and I couldnt blame anyone else.
Jailbreak, huh.
Flinch.
My shoulders flinched involuntarily after hearing Fathers words.
The blood of Gu Clan, breaking out of jail?
About that.
Before we get into that
Right as I was about to use the Marble of Celestial Captivation as an excuse, Father cut me off.
And his gaze fixed on me.
[How terrifying, you look even more like him now.]
It was terrifying for me too.
Fathers eyes, that looked at me with emotion unlike his usual expressionless face, seemed more frightening than I could imagine.
You killed the First Elder?
Yes.
I didnt make any excuses.
Because it was something I really did.
I heard that you killed the First Elder by using a different family members name.
Yes, thats true.
Do you know what that means?
I do.
Then, why did you do it?
Despite his noticeable anger, Father didnt raise his voice or yell at me.
He was only waiting for my explanations.
His red eyes were only on me.
Without letting me escape until I gave him a proper explanation.
Sigh.
I didnt want to run away either, so after letting out a breath, I explained to Father.
Why I killed the First Elder and why I escaped the jail.
Oh, I also told him about the Marble of Celestial Captivation without leaving anything out.
I explained that in more detail.
It didnt take very long.
It wasnt something I could drag on for long anyway.
After I finished talking, Father who heard my explanation stayed silent without saying anything.
One thing that changed was that his anger calmed down a bit and his sharp eyes returned to normal.
To me, that was enough.
Father, who stayed silent for a while, spoke again after letting out a light sigh.
Answer truthfully. I wont accept any lies.
Yes
The secret room thats in the First Elders place you mentioned, does it really exist?
Yes, it does.
Then, how do you know about that?
I realized something as I looked into Fathers eyes.
Hes looking for a reason.
Father was looking for a reason why I acted the way I did. all new stories at n0ve/lbi/n(.)com
Rather than trying to find out if what I said was true or not, it seemed more like he was looking for a reason for all my actions.
But how do I explain that?
I did it without thinking much, but I learned about it in my past life and I had no way to explain it to him otherwise.
But I couldnt just tell him that and because I couldnt give him an answer, Father looked away from me and changed the topic.
He dropped this topic as soon as he saw that I couldnt answer.
For the second topic, I might let you off since you played a big role in it.
He was talking about the fact that I found Gu Huibis location through the Marble of Celestial Captivation and my role in helping her escape the jail.
Father hinted that he would let me off with this matter.
First
But that didnt mean that I would be off the hook completely.
Even if we found the secret room you mentioned, killing the First Elder by yourself is way over the line. Do you realize that?
Im sorry.
I hope you understand that you dont have that much power in the clan yet.
I dont have it yet.
I knew what those words meant, so I couldnt take them as a good sign.
Because it meant that no matter what I did, I would become the Young Lord anyway.
The Elders Meeting will open for this matter.
I bit my tongue after hearing Father.
The Elders Meeting would open because of this even though it hadnt happened for the past few years.
To be fair, it was understandable since I killed the First Elder with my own hands.
By the way, the last Elders Meeting was also because of me.
I think it was because of my rampage towards Peng Ah-hee and breaking our marriage engagement.
Now that I look at it, I really am a troublemaker huh?
My past was one thing, but I caused more than one or two troubles after my regression.
I felt a bit ashamed.
Did I regress for this
Of course, I shook this off right away.
Know this, the Second Elder wont participate in this Elders Meeting.
!
Because I think hell is waiting for me at my place
If my first hell was meeting with Father, the second hell I had to face was something even more difficult.
So much that I preferred to go back to the jail instead.
Welcome back, Young Master.
When I stepped into my place for the first time in a while, Hongwa was the first one to greet me.
Hmm thats a big problem.
The problem started here.
The fact that it was Hongwa who greeted me first and not anyone else.
Usually, a certain someone would run towards me to greet me, but I couldnt see her anywhere.
I had cold sweat at this point.
I hid my panic and asked Hongwa carefully.
Where are the girls?
When I asked her, I saw Hongwa flinch for a moment, and her pupils shook slightly.
From her reaction, I smiled and nodded.
Yeah, Im fucked.
I realized that I was fucked after seeing Hongwas reaction.
Lady Namgung went into the room when she arrived. She seemed tired.
Is that room mine?
Oh, yes.
Why did you answer as if that was obvious, huh?
Why is it obvious for her to sleep in my room?
Lady Tang said that she had something to do in the streets.
I guess thats one fortunate thing out of all the misfortunes.
Huh?
Nothing.
Tang Soyeol having something to do in the streets, huh.
It was strange enough that a blood relative of Sichuan had a business in Shanxi, but that wasnt what was on my mind right now.
What about Wi Seol-Ah?
It was the first time.
The first time I said her full name with my own mouth.
I might never have done it in my past life either.
Because I always called her the Celestial Sword, or whatever title she had.
Oh, Seol-Ah is
Hongwa hesitated for a bit, and then told me about Wi Seol-Ah.
-Seol-Ah should be in the mountain at the back.
My steps headed towards the mountain.
The sun would set soon, so why did Wi Seol-Ah go to the mountain?
Even though she knew that I returned to the clan.
[Isnt it obvious, she doesnt want to see your face.]
When Elder Shin spoke as if he confirmed my worries, I bit my lips.
Why did my heart feel so frustrated?
It was a feeling that I had many times, but it always felt like a heavy burden.
I climbed the mountain after hearing that she was somewhere in the mountain, but I felt like I knew where Wi Seol-Ah would be.
I couldnt feel her presence.
Wi Seol-Ahs presence was always light, so I wouldnt find her even with me reaching Peak Realm, but Wi Seol-Ah was probably in a place where she could see the sunset.
If I was right, that place could be a cliff or the peak of the mountain, but in the mountain behind Gu Clan, there was only one place like that.
As I expected, on a hill where the sunset was visible, I saw someone.
Swish- Swoosh!
With the sound of a sword cutting through wind, a wooden sword swung in the air.
It looked like a swordplay, but to a martial artist, it was a poor swordplay that lacked any basics.
It was hard to call it a swordplay.
I heard that she was sword training.
But I didnt expect that she would swing a wooden sword.
Pause-
She noticed my presence.
Her movement, that seemed unstoppable, paused and her gaze met mine.
Huh?
The one standing there was Wi Seol-Ah
And the one staring at me was Wi Seol-Ah
But it felt harder to breathe for some reason.
Why is that?
Wi Seol-Ah had black hair with a hint of brown.
She didnt have the shining golden hair I saw in my past life and her eyes were obsidian-like black and not the golden eyes from my past life, but for some reason, I thought of Wi Seol-Ah in the past as I stared at her now.
Was it because the sun made her black hair brighter?
Yes, that must be why I was mistaken.
Uh, hi?
I greeted Wi Seol-Ah carefully.
Even waving my hand slightly.
It was a very loser-like greeting, but I couldnt think of another way to greet her.
Hello.
Thankfully, Wi Seol-Ah responded.
Her voice was deeper than before, but she responded.
Its been a while.
Yeah. About last time, I was in a hurry-
She didnt seem mad, so I used the excuse that I prepared.
Young Master Gu.
And couldnt what?
I looked at Wi Seol-Ah without finishing my sentence.
