Chapter 239
“Y-you…!”
Seeing the Blood Flame Orchid that the Dark King was holding, Pyo Jin-yang’s anger flared to the top of his head.
“I had my doubts, but you actually took that?”
“Let me talk to you privately for a moment.”
Gong Pae-cheon rushed over like lightning and grabbed Pyo Jin-yang’s arm.
“Someone who’s the Gwihon Gakju no less! Secretly infiltrating Maeuigam… mmph! Mmph mmph!”
“Let’s go outside and talk!”
Gong Pae-cheon hastily covered Pyo Jin-yang’s mouth.
However, the strength of the enraged Pyo Jin-yang was beyond imagination.
“Where do you think you’re going!”
He broke free from Gong Pae-cheon’s grasp all too easily and shouted.
“Someone who knows full well how I treasured and raised the Blood Flame Orchid like gold and jade! Huh? Does this make any sense?”
The more Pyo Jin-yang thought about it, the more absurd and outrageous it became.
“The one who calls himself the Chief Military Strategist of the main sect infiltrated Maeuigam to steal a flower pot? And of all things, my most precious Blood Flame Orchid! I clearly said the Blood Flame Orchid was absolutely off limits! Do you remember saying I couldn’t give it even if the sky split in two?”
“Listen here, Jin-yang…”
“Don’t even call my name! I think I’ve done enough as a friend by giving you the Four Severed Meridians and Soul-Forgetting Grass, but was that not enough? People should have some principles! How could you steal the Blood Flame Orchid? Could this really happen unless you’ve truly gone mad?”
‘Ugh.’
Watching Pyo Jin-yang corner Gong Pae-cheon, Tak Joong-hak pressed his forehead.
The reality he had feared was unfolding before his eyes.
“To think it was stolen without permission…”
“Oh my!”
A groan naturally escaped from No Yeom-baek’s mouth as well.
He wondered how desperate Gong Pae-cheon must have been to do such a thing.
‘It’s an even bigger problem now that the Dark King knows.’
Glancing over, he saw that Dang Cheol-woo’s face was flushed red with anger.
‘He’s very angry, very angry indeed!’
Well, it was a situation where he couldn’t help but be angry.
How many people would be happy to learn that a gift they received was stolen goods?
‘With that temper of his, I wonder what he’ll do…’
What would happen next was all too clear, causing him to sigh repeatedly.
“I did it because I want to marry Lady Dang!”
It was then that Gong Pae-cheon, who had been struggling to cover Pyo Jin-yang’s mouth, shouted.
“I need that to ask for permission to marry, so what else could I do?”
“So you steal the Blood Flame Orchid? You, who knows better than anyone how lovingly I raised it?”
“Aren’t you my closest friend!”
“So what?”
“Then give it to me!”
“Didn’t you already take it!”
Pyo Jin-yang burst into a roar.
“Ah, that’s right. Then give up on it!”
“What, what?”
“I’ll definitely find another Blood Flame Orchid.”
“Has this man really gone insane!”
Pyo Jin-yang was speechless at Gong Pae-cheon’s shameless attitude.
He began to doubt whether this was the Gong Pae-cheon he knew.
“Just let me get married! Huh?”
Even the formidable Pyo Jin-yang faltered before Gong Pae-cheon’s unreasonable momentum.
“…Did you really eat something wrong? How else could a person change so drastically overnight?”
Pyo Jin-yang was now genuinely worried about Gong Pae-cheon’s mental state.
They say when smart people go crazy, they become even more frightening – wasn’t this exactly that?
“Puhup!”
Just then, the Dark King suddenly burst into laughter.
“Puhahahaha!”
His hearty laughter drew everyone’s attention.
Among them, No Yeom-baek asked.
“Why are you suddenly laughing?”
“Then do I not look like someone who should laugh?”
Looking at Gong Pae-cheon and Pyo Jin-yang who had been bickering just moments ago, Dang Cheol-woo burst into laughter again.
“Hahahaha!”
Gwihon Gakju Gong Pae-cheon, called the brain of the Cheonma Sect.
Since they hadn’t known each other long, he didn’t know in detail what kind of person he was.
However, the years he had lived naturally gave him an eye for reading people.
Plus, there were stories he had heard from his daughter and granddaughter.
They said he had an upright character like a bamboo stick.
Such a person stole someone else’s precious treasure?
For marriage with his daughter?
He couldn’t help but laugh.
To get his permission, he had broken his own bamboo-like integrity.
Dang Cheol-woo laughed until tears flowed, wondering if he had ever laughed this hard in recent times.
“Now that I think about it, it really is funny.”
“Well I’ll be! Hehe, hehehehe!”
Tak Joong-hak and No Yeom-baek, who had been pondering the situation, also burst into laughter belatedly.
At this, Gong Pae-cheon’s cheeks, who had been acting shamelessly, turned red.
Embarrassment had finally washed over him.
“Are you the Physician Pyo Jin-yang?”
Meanwhile, the Dark King approached Pyo Jin-yang and politely cupped his hands.
“I am Dark King Dang Cheol-woo. I’m fortunate to finally express my gratitude, even if belatedly.”
At the unexpected greeting, Pyo Jin-yang also hastily returned the courtesy with cupped hands.
“I heard I survived thanks to the inner core refined from the Poison Horn Fire Dragon. It must not have been easy, so thank you.”
“As for the Poison Horn Fire Dragon, Eok I-geon who caught it worked harder than I did. I didn’t do much.”
“I know well how difficult it is to manufacture a spiritual pill.”
“I’ve received much help from Lady Dang over the years. She’s a woman with deep knowledge in medicine, isn’t she.”
“It seems you have quite a connection with my daughter.”
“We’ve had many exchanges.”
“Oh, is that so? I’d like to hear how our daughter has been doing.”
As he conversed with the Dark King, Pyo Jin-yang’s excitement also subsided considerably.
He sat down following Dang Cheol-woo and shared drinks, using past events with Dang Yeong-ryeong as conversation topics.
“Really? Ryeong-i really did that?”
“Yes, Elder.”
“Haha, hahahaha!”
Their interaction was so natural that not only Gong Pae-cheon but also Tak Joong-hak and No Yeom-baek were bewildered.
Then at some point, their conversation began to flow in a strange direction.
“By the way, have you married?”
“I’m still single.”
“Oh my!”
“I was late because I was devoted to my studies. Ahaha.”
Gong Pae-cheon’s insides were burning up to the point of rotting away.
Unable to bear the frustration, he reached for alcohol.
Glug glug.
No Yeom-baek, who had been watching Gong Pae-cheon with pity for a while now, silently filled his wine cup.
Gong Pae-cheon couldn’t overcome his anxiety and drank cup after cup in succession.
“Now tell me about the Blood Flower Orchid. How did you manage to cultivate it so well?”
“If I were to tell you that, even a whole day wouldn’t be enough.”
The Sichuan Dang Family, most famous for poison in the orthodox sects, had met with the Mandok Pyo Family of the Demonic Sect.
Perhaps because of this, the conversation between Am-wang and Pyo Jin-yang flowed smoothly without interruption.
“As fellow demon practitioners, what do you think of Lord Gong’s character?”
In the harmonious atmosphere, Dang Cheol-woo suddenly asked in a serious tone.
“You mean Lord Gong?”
Gong Pae-cheon, who had been bringing his wine cup to his lips like someone who had lived through everything, stopped moving.
“I’m curious about the evaluation from his closest friend.”
At Dang Cheol-woo’s words, Gong Pae-cheon flinched.
Because of this, the wine cup he was holding shook and spilled, but he didn’t even notice.
“What aspect are you curious about?”
“As a husband to a woman. To me, as a prospective son-in-law.”
‘P-prospective son-in-law?’
Gong Pae-cheon’s ears perked up.
“D-did you just say prospective son-in-law?”
Gong Pae-cheon’s eyes looking at Dang Cheol-woo blinked as if he couldn’t believe it.
“Since they’re not married yet, he’s a prospective son-in-law.”
Am-wang replied curtly as if asking what was so surprising about that.
“Th-thank you!”
Gong Pae-cheon shot up from his seat.
Then he knelt on the floor and bowed respectfully.
“I don’t like busy sons-in-law. If you’re going to make my daughter lonely, don’t even start!”
Though he had given permission, Dang Cheol-woo’s attitude was still cold.
Regardless, for Gong Pae-cheon, only receiving permission mattered.
He barely restrained himself from running to Dang Yeong-ryeong right away to tell her this news and shouted at the top of his lungs.
“That will absolutely never happen!”
“One more thing!”
Am-wang had the most important condition left.
“Your visits to Sichuan must not exceed two years.”
If it were up to his heart, he could even live with his in-laws, so what was a mere two years?
“Together with Seolha!”
Gong Pae-cheon answered, shouting loud enough to shake the pavilion.
“Yes, father-in-law!”
Those watching this scene all burst into laughter as if they had made a promise.
Huh? Father-in-law?
My steps stopped as I was just entering Uncle Gong Pae-cheon’s house with Eok I-geon.
What did I just hear?
That was definitely Uncle Gong Pae-cheon’s voice.
Did he just call Grandfather Am-wang father-in-law?
What!
What, what!
Are Grandmother and Uncle Gong Pae-cheon getting married?
“Young Master, hurry!”
My heart racing, I grabbed Eok I-geon’s hand and ran inside.
“Thank you for giving your permission.”
Uncle Gong Pae-cheon was bowing to Grandfather Am-wang, who sat solemnly.
Uncle’s face, which was always intimidated in front of Grandfather, was exceptionally bright today.
Wow, he’s handsome!
Overshadowed by Eok I-geon, but Uncle Gong Pae-cheon was also a tall, handsome man.
“If my daughter sheds even one tear! I’ll lead the Green Flag Group and attack the Demonic Sect!”
‘Kyaa!’
Grandmother is really getting married!
I was so happy that tears welled up in my eyes.
Shin Geum, who always pretended to be strong and brave in front of me, but was lonelier and more struggling than anyone.
Now only happiness remained for her.
“Lord Gong! Congratulations!”
“Are you that happy about your grandmother getting married?”
“Yes!”
I ran to Grandfather Am-wang, who was scolding me, and hugged him tightly.
“Thank you, Great-Grandfather.”
I knew this would eventually happen, but I was much happier than I had expected.
