Legend of the Evil Martial God
Chapter 180
Jeok Wigang made an absurd expression after hearing what Ye Yahyeon and Baek Ryeongso said.
“There’s a group that serves and worships you guys?”
“Yes. That’s what we’re saying.”
“Well, they were even lying about being in contact with us.”
“Really? That’s interesting. Where are those guys?”
“They were there, but they were such bad guys that Jin Muryang killed them all.”
“I’m sure I told you not to kill anyone?”
“They were such bad guys… Doesn’t Muryang know Dae-hyeong’s intentions?”
When Ye Yahyeon spoke carefully, Jeok Wigang nodded his head.
“Right. There must have been some reason.”
“What should we do? We came here to ask for Dae-hyeong’s opinion.”
“Let’s go take a look. It’ll be interesting.”
“Then, we’ll escort you now.”
“Ah, before that, let’s finish the business here first.”
“The business here?”
“The county office. I think I can go with peace of mind only after that.”
Baek Ryeongso said with a smile.
“I’ll take care of that myself.”
“No. It’s also my business.”
“What?”
As he looked wondering what this meant, Ye Yahyeon spoke.
“Dae-hyeong is an official.”
“Huh?”
“The civil service examination, he passed as the top scholar.”
“Huh…”
Looking at the surprised Baek Ryeongso, Ye Yahyeon said.
“Now do you understand how we felt when you said you’d make clothes?”
“Ah, so this is how it felt?”
Then he chuckled softly.
“Surprising. Dae-hyeong is an official. Is he higher than the county magistrate?”
“Of course.”
“Behind the county magistrate is the branch office. The county magistrate’s father here is the branch office head.”
“Doesn’t matter.”
“Higher than the branch office head? Well, if Dae-hyeong obtained an official position, it wouldn’t be an ordinary one.”
“You understand well.”
Seeing Jeok Wigang grinning made him even more curious.
What kind of official position could it be to make him so confident?
***
Baek Ryeongso arrived at the county office.
The government soldiers guarding the front of the county office approached him as soon as they saw him.
They looked extremely tense, having already heard rumors that he was a martial artist and incredibly strong.
“Wh-what brings you here?”
“I came to meet the county magistrate.”
“Did you come to take revenge on the county magistrate?”
He shook his head while looking at the government soldier who was stuttering from fear.
“No. There seems to be some misunderstanding, so I came to clear it up.”
At Baek Ryeongso’s words, the government soldiers looked at each other.
Their expressions seemed to wonder if they could believe his words, given how different he seemed from the rumors.
“If I came for revenge, would I speak so politely? I would have blown everything away and entered boldly.”
The government soldiers seemed to agree with those words and nodded their heads.
“Please wait. I’ll go inform the Great Person and return.”
A moment later.
The government soldier came out and nodded his head.
“Please come in. I’ll guide you.”
Following the guide, they came to a garden with a hall in the center.
In the hall, he could see the county magistrate sitting with an uncomfortable expression on his face.
Jihyeon sighed upon seeing Baek Ryeongso and said.
“Come here and sit down.”
His manner suggested that what was bound to come had come.
“You seem to have known in advance that I would come?”
“I heard the story. You apparently beat up all those guys who were acting menacingly in front of your shop.”
“That’s right. Those guys confessed everything.”
“I’m sorry. I can’t make fair judgments when it comes to my son’s affairs. An apology probably won’t fix this, will it?”
Baek Ryeongso smiled at Jihyeon’s words.
He had expected him to make excuses and deny it, but he readily admitted it.
“Why are you looking at me with those eyes? Did you think I would deny it?”
“Actually, yes. I was worried about what to do if you denied it. But in the midst of that, you apparently requested that I not be seriously hurt. Why did you do that?”
“I just wanted to teach you a lesson for disrespecting my son, but I had no intention of harming you at all. Even though my son is a bit lacking, he’s not a bad-hearted child. You could have just sold him the clothes, so why did you do that?”
“I’m sorry, but I can’t do that.”
“Why? Because my son can’t wear clothes properly?”
“That’s right. They’re my precious children that I created, and I can’t bear to see them worn in such a state.”
He was firm.
“Then you could just make clothes that suit him so he won’t look like that! Isn’t that what a true master craftsman does? A spirit of challenge! Don’t you have anything like that?”
Jihyeon’s words, filled with indignation, even made him feel somewhat pitiful.
Jihyeon sighed and hung his head low, speaking in a dispirited voice.
“Do you… have children?”
Baek Ryeongso shook his head.
“Then you wouldn’t understand my feelings…”
Jihyeon looked at Baek Ryeongso with a sorrowful face and said.
“He was a brilliant child when he was young. How do you think it feels when such a child becomes a half-wit overnight? It’s a miracle that I haven’t gone insane. A miracle.”
Just what kind of illness had he suffered that the child went around wearing clothes in such a state?
Actually, Jihyeon’s son was quite handsome in appearance.
If he just stayed still and did nothing, he wasn’t just decent-looking but was handsome enough to captivate the hearts of many women.
That made Jihyeon’s heart ache even more.
With such a fine face, going around acting foolish – wasn’t it enough to drive one mad with frustration?
They tried every effort to dress him properly.
But it was all useless.
No matter how properly they dressed him, within moments he would carelessly put his clothes back on his own way.
If he just stayed still after that, it would be fine.
But he goes out to the marketplace and causes all sorts of trouble.
At least people know he’s Jihyeon’s son and that his condition isn’t good, so they let it slide.
Knowing this, Jihyeon tried his best to treat the local people well.
Thanks to this, the reputation regarding Jihyeon wasn’t too bad.
However, since he reacted sensitively to anything related to his son, people were busy avoiding him whenever Jihyeon’s son appeared.
“Could I meet that son of yours?”
At Jeok Wigang’s words from behind Baek Ryeongso, Jihyeon frowned.
“Who are you? If you’re unrelated, don’t interfere. I have no intention of making my son a spectacle.”
“Not as a spectacle, but to see what his condition is like. This person here knows some medical arts.”
When Jeok Wigang pointed to himself, Ye Yahyeon was startled.
He had taught Jeok Wigang some medical arts before.
But that didn’t make him some famous physician or anything.
He had only killed people with medicine, never saved anyone.
His study of medical arts was to kill people more easily, not for the purpose of healing.
At Jeok Wigang’s words, Jihyeon snorted.
“All the renowned physicians have already been here. From the looks of it, he’s not even a proper physician, so forget it.”
“Even if he’s not a proper physician, he might know a method. Don’t you have the mindset to grasp at straws?”
“Tsk! Are you mocking me right now?”
“I’m doing this out of sympathy. I think there’s nothing to lose by showing him.”
“Hmm.”
Jihyeon pondered for a moment, then sighed.
“Fine. I’ll call him.”
Since they were offering to look, there seemed no need to refuse.
A moment later.
He appeared bringing his son.
As soon as his son saw Baek Ryeongso, he went berserk.
“Oh! You! What are you doing coming here! Father! It’s that bastard! That bastard ignored me earlier and said he wouldn’t sell me clothes! Punish him!”
“Yes, yes. I understand, so calm down.”
“Aaah! Aaaah! Please punish them quickly! Quickly! Quickly!”
He was screaming so violently that his soul seemed about to leave his body.
“He’s here to help you. Please calm down.”
“Aaaah! Aaaah!”
Jihyeon pressed his forehead.
Somehow his condition seemed even worse today.
Ye Yahyeon looked at Jeok Wigang.
“Am I really supposed to do Pulse Reading on that? His condition looks extremely bad.”
“Hmm.”
Jeok Wigang thought for a moment, then stepped forward toward the Son.
Then he carefully observed the Son.
“What are you again! Get lost! Get lost, I said! Aaah!”
The Son screamed violently again.
Jeok Wigang spoke to Jihyeon.
“I’d like to have a conversation with your Son in private for a moment.”
At Jeok Wigang’s words, Jihyeon spoke with an incredulous expression.
“Does he look like he’s in any state to have a conversation right now?”
“Not exactly, but I’d still like to try.”
“Do you also know Medical Arts?”
“Yes.”
Jihyeon looked at Jeok Wigang with a suspicious expression.
“Aaaah! Aaah!”
But seeing his Son’s condition, which was more serious than usual, he felt like grasping at straws.
“Then please just calm that bastard down.”
“I will.”
Jeok Wigang grasped the Son’s Hand.
Then he went into an even more violent frenzy.
“Let go of this! Let go of this! Ahhhhh!”
He threw himself down on the ground and made a complete scene.
Jihyeon covered her eyes with her hands and sighed, as if she couldn’t bear to watch such a sight.
He lifted up his raving son and carried him to the inner area where no one could see.
She trusted him and let him take charge, wondering what he could possibly do to her son in the middle of the government office, but she felt uneasy.
With an anxious expression, she only stared in the direction where Jeok Wigang had disappeared.
“Ahhhhh! Ahhhhh!”
The screaming could still be heard.
Hearing the screams actually made her feel relieved.
“Ahhhhhh! Ahhhhhhh!”
The screaming gradually became more severe.
It wasn’t this bad before.
His condition must have worsened.
“Kuahhhhh! Ahhhhh!”
He’s screaming his lungs out.
At this rate, he might stop breathing.
“Kueooooh! Kueok!”
Huh?
Is he really about to stop breathing?
His condition is really severe today.
He’s probably thinking he shouldn’t have stepped forward saying he would try to heal him.
He might be regretting it tremendously right now.
Even though she didn’t force him to take responsibility, she felt sorry for no reason.
“Kueeeeek!”
Hm?
This is a somewhat different sound?
The screaming sound disappeared in an instant.
“What? Did he calm down?”
Just moments ago it seemed like he might stop breathing, but suddenly it became quiet.
As Jihyeon tilted her head in confusion, Jeok Wigang appeared.
Jihyeon looked at Jeok Wigang coming out alone and thought, “As expected.”
But then.
Behind him, his son walked out in a respectful posture.
What’s that about?
This is the first time I’ve seen him looking so normal?
“Son!”
At Jihyeon’s call, his son answered in the most respectful manner.
“Yes. Father.”
“Huh?”
Jihyeon, who was approaching his son, suddenly flinched and stopped.
It didn’t seem like his son.
Had someone been switched?
No matter how much he looked and looked again, it was definitely his son.
He was so shocked that he asked in a trembling voice.
“What did you say? Just now… what did you say?”
“It seems I have caused Father much worry all this time. I apologize.”
“Huh…”
Jihyeon looked at Jeok Wigang, unable to tell if what he was seeing was real.
“Is, is that really my son?”
“Yes. That’s correct.”
“But… the boy’s condition… why is he so normal?”
Even as he said it himself, it felt strange, but he was curious.
“Ah, when I talked to him, the boy understood well and came to his senses.”
What kind of nonsense is this?
Talked?
He wasn’t in a state to have a conversation?
“You had a conversation? All I could hear were screaming sounds?”
“I persuaded him and your son listened while screaming.”
Seeing Jeok Wigang speaking with a smile, Baek Ryeongso, Ye Yahyeon, and Jin Muryang guessed what had happened behind the scenes.
He probably beat him until his sanity returned.
The unimaginable pain must have snapped him back to his senses.
He must have desperately regained his sanity to survive.
