This is the 123rd operation change.
That’s because he’s not a villain.
If either the ghost or Lim Hyang were evil, married life wouldn’t have been hell for so long. No matter who left, I would have left, and no matter who killed me, I would have killed him.
That’s because they are both ordinary people. It must have been a relationship and a life that I had no choice but to live with, even though I hated it and hated it because I grew attached to it after struggling with it, but I never wanted to repeat that life.
“Now go inside. “There is food provided, so please eat here first.”
Ian and I went inside. Seojin followed us.
“I will guide you.”
I plan to continue my relationship with Seo-jin in my past life with Ian in this life.
As we walked together, we sent a message to Ian.
―Ian, Seojin here is a candidate for the second leader of Gwiyeongdae.
-oh!
Her eyes widened as if the words were unexpected.
―Imagine that the group you lead has a leader who can use magic.
-It would be awesome. Even our university’s name has “ghost” in it!
-Whether you take this woman as your confidant or not is up to you.
Ian had absolute faith in me and didn’t ask me anything about ‘Why her?’
Instead, I spoke to Seojin.
“Congratulations on your marriage, brother.”
“thank you. “I thought I would never get married, but I still do.”
Although it was Ian’s first time meeting, Seojin answered cheerfully.
“why? “You seem like a good person and have a good personality.”
“At any rate, he was just studying.”
Seojin had a crush on Ian. I know very well why.
In the past, Seojin also really liked pretty women. He said that looking at pretty things makes him feel good. I liked beautiful women, I liked flowers, and I liked pretty clothes. Those tastes that do not suit a ronin may be due to the fact that he had a smooth upbringing as a child in a prestigious family.
“I’ve only heard about it, but I’ve never experienced it before.”
“Nothing much.”
Seojin stopped for a moment and raised his hand. Black smoke rose from his palm and instantly took the shape of a snake.
It was a small snake made of smoke, but it felt strangely real and seemed as if it could turn into black snake at any moment.
Whick!
The snake suddenly rushed towards Ian.
But before it reached Ian, it picked up and dissipated into smoke.
“It’s so cool!”
“Aren’t you surprised?”
“Because there was no way to live.”
Lee Chae flashed across Seo Jin’s eyes towards Ian. No matter how lifeless it was, anyone would be startled if a snake suddenly lunged at them. But Ian was completely unfazed.
“Please show me again next time.”
“Then something bigger and scarier will come out.”
“Good!”
I think they will be a good match personality-wise. Both women had cool personalities that were not too shabby and knew how to be considerate of others.
What if both Cheongmyeon and Seojin could join Gwiyoungdae?
Cheongmyeon sets the weight with the first tone, and Seojin brightens the mood with the second tone. The picture is already good.
But it wasn’t going to be easy. Because one was the Majon Du and the other was the blood relative of the Gwimunju.
Several guests had already arrived in the main hall, and more guests arrived one after another. There were guests from ghosts, and there were also guests from Imhyang.
When all the invitees arrived, the ghosts and Lim Hyang also came into the main hall.
We toasted together and congratulated them on their upcoming wedding.
Most of those invited were heirs of prestigious families, so they were polite.
But one person was an exception. He was a leader of the Seojong faction who had been a friend of Im Hyang since childhood. He had a dark expression from the moment he entered and was very dissatisfied with this marriage.
Was it because of the alcohol that poured in from the beginning? Or did he secretly like Im Hyang?
He spoke openly to Im Hyang in the presence of the ghost.
“Honestly, as an old friend, I cannot congratulate you on this wedding.”
“what’s the matter?”
“Originally, a shaman must form a relationship with a shaman in order to avoid going back.”
Of course, the ghost felt bad at those words. Besides, wouldn’t saying something like that when you’re right next to him mean that he’s blatantly ignoring you?
Since Ju-myeong was Im Hyang’s guest, the ghost spoke to him in a friendly tone.
“The main text is also from a well-established martial arts sect that was involved in martial arts.”
“No one here will think that the Gwimun is a member of the Wurim sect.”
“What are you saying? “How much has this text contributed to Moorim so far?”
“Do you think that Gwimun’s technique is a legitimate martial art?”
For a moment, the ghost could not answer. I didn’t know how to answer because I’d never had someone ask me something like that before.
“Martial arts and minor skills are completely different.”
As Joo-myeong crossed the line, a loud voice rang out in the main hall.
“Then, shall we check to see why they are so skilled at dealing with minor tricks?”
The person who stepped forward was Seojin. When I saw him glaring at his opponent with one side raised slightly, I remembered an old thought. Even when I was a ronin, when I was angry, one eyebrow would raise like that.
When she stretched out her hand, a black haze rose around Joo Myeong.
“Huh!”
Surprised, Joo-myeong looked around and pulled out his sword.
“what? What is this?”
He started swinging his sword in the air. There was no doubt that I was seeing a fantasy or something.
And my eyes saw what he was looking at. A black shadow with only eyes and a mouth was rushing towards him. What appeared was so scary and real that it filled my heart with horror even though I knew it was an illusion.
And in my eyes, I saw the law of destruction that would eliminate that illusion. It was the result of a combination of blood stabilization and new eye techniques.
As Joo-myeong was swinging his sword here and there, people around him could get hurt.
As Seojin withdrew his magic, Jumyeong, who was swinging his sword in the air, soon realized that he had fallen into the magic. Even though he knew it was an illusion, he was swinging his sword without realizing it. Being attacked without knowing is a devil’s trick.
He glared at Seojin.
“I will never forgive you for insulting me with such witchcraft…”
Clap!
His cheeks turned. The person who walked up and slapped him in the face was Im Hyang.
“do you want to die? Aren’t you sober? “How dare you not forgive someone?”
“you!”
“Are you friends? Friends shouldn’t do this, right? “The only friend I have is you, so why make me so miserable?”
At that, Joo-myeong could not say anything. The words “you are the only friend” seem to fly like a dagger and hit me.
Joo-myeong said with a short sigh.
“sorry.”
The anger that had heated up like a flame had already disappeared.
“I’m sorry for hitting you too.”
“Okay. “You’ve been beaten several times since you were young, right?”
Joo-myeong also apologized to the ghost and Seo-jin.
“I’m sorry. It was rude to disparage your family. “I apologize.”
But there was also an aftereffect.
“But I don’t like this marriage! “I oppose it!”
In that way, Ju-myeong left that place.
My eyes turned to the ghost.
Ghost, you should have shouted like that.
‘I hate this marriage! Don’t celebrate! ‘Am I, the groom, the only one who is opposed to this marriage?’
The ghost tried to scold Seojin for his reckless behavior, but Imhyang stopped him.
Then he apologized to the ghost.
“sorry. “We have been friends since we were young, so I think he was very upset that I was getting married.”
“Isn’t that because you care for Lim Sojeo that much?”
“If you care, you can’t do that. I was just drinking and being damned. Forget it.”
I sighed inwardly as I watched the ghost’s eyes look at her deepen.
‘I’m getting more into it.’
Today, I saw that Im Hyang was also a nice woman. I thought that if that ghost could accurately know and understand her personality, they might get along well.
* * *
The ghost came outside to get some fresh air during the banquet.
I didn’t show it in front of Imhyang, but for some reason, my mood kept sinking.
It was because of Joo Myung earlier. When he expressed his dissatisfaction, I kept wondering if I should have stepped forward.
Could it be that Im Hyang saw herself as a coward?
If I had come forward, I would have won. Did you have to show off your skills properly once? no. My father was always wary of Gwimun becoming embroiled in martial arts disputes. What is the martial arts dispute? It’s just a fight between friends. You should have come forward!
The ghost’s mind was lost in this and that. I hated myself regretting it later more than not having come forward.
As I walked, lost in thought, I arrived at my own study.
I stood at the window and looked into the study. I felt most at ease when I was here. Come to think of it, I always came here whenever I got scolded by my father or had any problems. This was the only resting place and refuge for ghosts.
The ghost knows.
That he is not a happy person when he overpowers Joo-myeong and makes him kneel and say hahaha. Read books, research, and research. That people are happiest when they are quiet.
‘Anyway, I have to show this place to Soje Lim.’
I wanted to boast to Lim Hyang about how much I read books. I felt that way especially today.
Then someone said.
“You have so many books.”
The ghost turned around in surprise.
I was standing behind him, following him.
“I was frustrated so I went out to get some air and ended up walking and ended up here.”
“I see.”
“I think this is the first time among the martial arts people that I have seen so many books.”
“I liked reading books since I was young.”
“I see. “There is someone around me who also likes books.”
“Oh really? “Please introduce me next time you get a chance.”
“Of course.”
I remembered the horrified expression on the ghost’s face when he found out that the opponent was a Blood Heavenly Demon. When I remembered the disapproving face of Hyeolcheondoma looking at the ghost, I couldn’t help but laugh.
With that, we naturally walked towards the main hall.
“The more I see you, Confucius Seo and Sojeo Lim, the more you get along with each other.”
“It’s okay if you’re comforting me for what happened earlier. “I forgot everything.”
“It looked like jealousy to me. But I also understand the small-scale cooperation. “When a friend you’ve liked for a long time gets married, you probably want to go and crash the party.”
I made the ghost feel better. Regardless of whether I stopped his marriage or not, it was only possible if I became somewhat close to him.
And the fastest way to get to know someone is to tell them what they want to hear.
“One day, that little girl will wake up from her sleep and drink cold water like this. “Why did I do such a stupid thing back then?”
The ghost laughed at those words. That made me feel bad, so I had to solve it with that.
“Thank you for your patience. “If I hadn’t endured it, the person who woke up suddenly would have become Confucius.”
The ghost stopped, looked at me, and suddenly asked.
“Didn’t we meet sometime ago?”
Ghost, what kind of fate do you feel? Well, you might be able to feel something.
“This is my first time meeting you.”
“But if you look at Sohyeop, it doesn’t feel unfamiliar.”
“There are people who you feel comfortable with even if you meet them for the first time, as if you’ve known each other for a long time, right? It’s like a friend. I have faith for no reason. “I just want to take care of something.”
“Not to that extent.”
“Maybe it’s because I had a crush on Confucius from the beginning. “After reading the book, I respect you even more.”
I was letting his guard down by continuing to say nice things to him. Even the worn-out blood demons and extremely evil demons could not withstand my flattering skills, so it was no small feat to get close to this young ghost.
And the most important thing about this practice of flattery is that it must be done in moderation and when it is necessary to retreat, you must retreat like a sword. I need to give him time to think over what I said and feel good about it.
“Okay then, I’ll go in first.”
I left him behind and entered the main hall.
* * *
I asked Ian on the way back after the banquet.
“How was Seojin?”
It was Ian who talked to Seojin throughout the banquet.
“I liked it. “He’s great as a leader.”
“My recommendation never fails.”
“There’s just one problem.”
“Are you saying she will commit herself to this school?”
“yes.”
“The Gwimun was originally a sect of Jeongsajigan. In the past, among the ancestors of the noble family, there were people who worked at our school. “If you convince me well, there won’t be a problem.”
“Do you know much about ear gates?”
“I studied a bit before coming.”
In fact, it was something I had heard from Seojin in the past. During his time as a ronin, Seojin did not want to be tied to a faction. He didn’t want to belong anywhere, so he was a person who could go anywhere.
“We’ll have to go back to school soon anyway, so we won’t be able to take her with us. “Just make sure she can come visit you later.”
One day, when you feel frustrated and run out of the house, all you have to do is make Ian come to you, not the life of a ronin.
“know? “If you want to contact us, you just have to leave your name on the Seoho guest cups located throughout Jungwon.”
“I’ll be sure to tell you later when we part ways.”
Apart from Ian, I plan to pay attention to Seojin’s actions separately. So that the great destiny can lead to Ian.
“What about you, young master? What happened to stopping the marriage?”
“It’s a change in operation.”
It was a decision I made after seeing the ghost and Im Hyang at the banquet hall today.
Kwak Bang-ju of our school’s iron room says this every time. It is said that small differences make luxury goods.
I believe that applies to human relationships as well. Small differences will change the results. Even if you can’t change people, you can change relationships.
We were moved by a single word and were loyal to each other for the rest of our lives, and we broke up because we were offended by a single word. One word makes me hate you for the rest of my life. Because that’s who we are.
So my new strategy was this.
“It does not prevent ghosts from marrying, but allows two people to live happily.”
You can’t do it, you ghost. I have to get married. Instead, I will open a door other than the gate of hell.
