Chapter 179

The time passed like a stream of water.
Mu Hai Hsu Yu Zheng is a Jinan sect, and men have never stayed in the sect for long.
But Bu Eun-sul and Hyuk So-jin not only broke that taboo, they also made a small difference here.
Squeal.
In the Baileys Pavilion, where a performance hall and a secret chamber were set up, the disciples of Mu Haosu Yujing gathered in rows.
This is because the Martial Arts Library, which had been filled with women’s arts, divine law, and yin gong, was now stocked with new magical arts that could be easily utilized.
“As a herbivore that relies heavily on its sleeves, the Beepasumu should not overuse its Qin Qi. You should focus your efforts on reversing the enemy’s attacks and using up their strength…….”
And in front of the training hall, students of all ranks were lined up in front of Hyeoksojin, learning the practical texts and first-hand lessons.
Unlike the lighthearted women’s martial arts we’ve been taught, the solemn, sword-fighting martial arts of the Mado are taught by the heir of the Mado himself!
Not only the hollow cusps of the Unsewered Well, but also the ordinary disciples flocked like clouds to this great opportunity.
“Holy shit.
Looking at the growing crowd of disciples, Hyuk-So-Jin wore a dejected expression.
“I don’t have time to hone my martial arts.
It was only his desire to improve and become stronger in his martial arts that helped him overcome his laziness.
And now you’re teaching others by becoming a martial arts master?
“Mmm.”
By nightfall, the long lines were gone.
“Whoa.”
With a sigh, Hyuk So-jin sipped the tea on the table beside the stage with a tired face.
“Confucius, I don’t understand the text of the “Nothingness and Immobility” in the Tao Te Ching…….”
But before I could finish my tea, another disciple of the Sewerless Well arrived, this time with a gumbo.
‘haha…….’
Hyuk So-jin’s eyes were unfocused as he watched the sun set.
And then, like a bell that rings when you shake it, it started interpreting the law mechanically again.
* * *
-What is that Nanyagak guy doing?
In contrast to Hyuk So-jin, Bu Eun-sul’s life was quiet.
Every day, he would take her out to see the sewage wells, and sometimes they would squat down together to observe insects.
-I hear you teach martial arts to the small master.
-Why does he do that all the time?
The disciples of the Muhasoo Yuzheng, as if they were out on a mountain stream tour, gave Bu Eun-sul a strange glance as she took Kuk Hye-bin out to play.
Kuk Hye-ryeong, who was listening to Bu Eun-sul’s daily routine in her own quarters, the Jeonggeum Hall, was also puzzled.
“The guy who teaches martial arts hangs around every day?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Hmmm.”
Kwak Hye Ryung let out a cloudy sigh.
By now, the time was approaching a month.
And his special move, the Magongo, which is supposed to cut off the enemy’s breathing, is very difficult to master because it has multiple overlapping seconds.
Even if you practice every day, it’s still hard to master, but after almost a month, you’re just hanging out?
“Wait, is that him?
At that moment, a strange thought flashed through her mind.
“Are you going to go around every day and try to win people over?
Bu Eun-sul has the kind of courage and aura that any woman would fall in love with.
No matter how innocent a girl is, there’s no way she won’t fall in love with …….
“Man, you didn’t get the power of the Immortal Realm this way, did you?
If you think about it, it’s weird to start with the grandson of the Immortal.
It was clear that they were using its mesmerizing appearance to build something.
“Hey!”
As the thought struck her, she jumped up and cried out.
“Where is that man called Bu Eun-sul now!”
Sewage-free well near Seowon.
Nearby, the scenery was spectacular, with a ravine spilling down a low cliff.
And below them, Kuk Hye-bin was playing water polo with her feet on the ground, and Bu Eun-sul was standing at a distance, watching.
Jumbled.
Just then, I saw a small shadow in the distance, walking toward me with low steps.
He was an old man, his skin as hard as an old tree, but his gait and eyes as quick and fierce as a young man’s.
It was Kuk Hye-ryung.
‘What a ridiculous promise I made to myself!
Her eyes lit up when she spotted her granddaughter playing in the ravine with her pants down.
At that moment, Kuk Hye-bin, who was standing in the water, spotted her and smiled at her.
“Ouch.”
Seeing his wide-eyed smile, she swallowed hard the anger that was rising.
“Yeah. That looks like fun.”
“What’s up?”
Kuk Hye-ryeong’s face stiffened as Bu Eun-sul approached with a stern expression.
“What are you doing?”
“I’m training.”
“Training?”
In that moment, my pent-up aging came to a head.
If Kuk Hye-bin hadn’t been holding on to her sleeve, she would have punched Bu Eun-sul in the head at any moment.
“I see. The Nangyagak must have a trick for seniority underwater.”
“No seniority.”
“If it’s not seniority, then what are you doing?”
“I guess you could say it’s character education.”
“Character education?”
“Yes.”
Bu Eun-sul gestured to the stream.
“This kid seems like he’s all right on the inside, but he really doesn’t know how to get along with people.”
“What does that mean?”
“Character doesn’t mature on its own with age, especially for children, who need to be instilled with the right values to match their disposition.”
Her eyes widened at the unheard and unseen sound.
“That sounds like something serious, but it’s also weird.
However, Buunsul’s eyes were very clear, so he didn’t seem to be talking nonsense.
After a moment’s pause, she asked again.
“I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about. Can you explain it to me easily?”
“He was so limited in what he could see and hear that the right personality could not take hold.”
Bu Eun-sul said with a serious expression.
“To raise a child properly, you have to give it the attention it deserves. Unfortunately, I don’t think that’s what we’ve been able to do in the Zero Sewage Well.”
“Nonsense, are you saying that the mainland raised this child wrong?”
Hye-ryung Kuk said in disbelief.
“You’ve always had the best of the best in your field, as well as the best of the best in justice. And you say he didn’t raise them right?”
“They taught him the knowledge of their respective disciplines, but they didn’t refine his inner self, did they?”
“What’s that fat-ass word you use to describe yourself?”
“Children imitate those who spend the most time with them.”
Then, as if recalling a memory from the past, the snowy eyes deepened.
“A child raised by his grandfather is like his grandfather, and a child raised by his parents is like his parents, but this child had none of that.”
At that moment, Kwak’s mind was racing.
Aside from a nanny to take care of her during eating and sleeping hours, she has been taught by some of the best teachers in their respective fields.
But that was it.
Kuk Hye-ryung, who manages the Moohae sewage well, hasn’t been able to take care of Kuk Hye-bin often due to her busy work.
“Well, Beanie is…….”
“He has an excellent education and upbringing, but he has an inhuman character. No one has influenced this child.”
Originally, Bu Eun-sul’s plan was to show the laws of nature and change Kuk Hye-bin’s gentle personality to a large extent.
But it wasn’t until I remembered saving a rabbit from being hunted by a hawk that I realized it wasn’t just innocence or compassion.
“There was no empathy, there was just doing.
What if you felt sorry for the rabbit and tried to help?
At the very least, you would have tried to carefully remove the hawk’s claws from the rabbit’s back.
However, Kuk Hye-bin effortlessly pulled the claws out of the hawk’s grasp.
The rabbit’s skin was ripped off and blood spilled.
At first, I didn’t think much of the swollen tongue.
But in hindsight, he realized that this was something a compassionate child would never do.
“This child is very lacking in empathy.”
“Empathy?”
“Yes. To put it simply, I was helping others out of habit, without feeling any emotion.”
“Why on earth would…….”
“That way, I’ll get attention from my home state and the people around me.”
Kwak Hye Ryung shuddered in shock.
An adorable granddaughter clutching her sleeve.
The child you thought had a good heart and was helping others, but was actually lacking in emotion?
“If just one person had given me the love I deserved, I wouldn’t have gotten this far.”
As she said that, a part of her heart ached.
‘Actually, so did I…….’
The orphaned cynosure.
He had never been loved by anyone. All he ever wanted was to survive and not starve to death.
Abandoned and isolated in a bleak world, emotions were a luxury for Bu Eun-sul.
If you never met Grandpa Buzan.
If you haven’t gotten the love you deserve.
Bu Eun-sul would still have been an emotionless human being, both to others and to himself…….
‘But now…….’
Bu Eun-sul shook her head inwardly.
When Bu Zhan Yang met his untimely demise, his personality had slowly reverted to that of a child.
If you don’t have connections with people like Black Mark, Tangon, Namgungun, etc. in the stronghold…….
Boo-Eun-Seol would have completely reverted to her orphaned personality with frozen emotions.
“So, you’ve been hanging out with Bean?”
“Instead of just having fun, it instilled the right values in me. It taught me to appreciate the beauty of nature and how animals live in the wild…….”
After a pause, Buunsul spoke again.
“And it’s just showing people and how people get along.”
His eyes were deep with longing as he gazed into the distant sky.
All of this training came from my grandfather, my father-in-law.
“Right, that’s what it was.”
Realizing her grave error, Kuk Hye-ryung grabs Kuk Hye-bin by the sleeve and hugs her tightly.
“This old woman has done so many terrible things to you.”
I should have spent more time with my granddaughter than running an oil well.
More than naming and educating, more than good food and clothing……
We should have held hands and gone for a walk outside at least once.
“Ouch.”
Hye-bin shook her head and made a sour face.
Hye-bin Kuk has a habit of smiling all the time.
But over the course of a month, with the help of Boo-Eun-Seol, he was able to empathize with others.
“Sorry, sorry, sorry, Bean.”
Eventually, tears flowed from her glacially frozen eyes.
Since the deaths of her son and daughter-in-law, she has been expanding her influence through covert dealings with the powerful men of the court.
This was to pass on an even stronger no-sewage well to Hye-bin Kuk in the future.
Little did I know that it would end up being the thing that spoiled him.
“Argh. Argh.”
When Kuk Hye-ryung cried, tears flowed from Kuk Hye-bin’s eyes as well.
She is finally realizing that she, too, is loved by the Supreme Spirit.
The valley quickly became a river of tears.
“…….”
Watching, Bu Eun-sul quietly turned and walked out of the valley.
His backside looked lonely, but no one saw it because Kuk Hye Ryung and Kuk Hye Bin were hugging each other.
* * *
Boo Eun-sul didn’t teach Kuk Hye-bin how to kill, but made the best of it.
But Kwak Hye Ryung didn’t promise to support Bu Eun Seol or send her a personal delivery.
However, since that day, huge amounts of money have been invested in the Nangya Temple and the Temple of Heaven and Earth.
Neither faction is particularly frugal.
Nangyagak’s household, especially since he had no military forces and focused on martial arts, was in chronic deficit.
By generously funding both sects, Kuk Hye-ryung signaled her support for Bu Eun-sul to the entire kingdom.
Jumbled.
Once out of the valley, Buunseol walked toward the center of the dry well.
He appeared to be walking slowly, but he had quieted his mind and was drawing up his inner gong.
His body and mind were united, and his entire body was filled with a pulsating aura of qi.
Finally, his steps stopped in front of the performance hall of the Baileys.
With everything settled, he’s about to leave the well. But before he does, he wants to resume the confrontation he’s been putting off.
