Chapter 56: Where did This Fortuitous Encounter Come From? (3)

I decided to make a trip to the Heavenly Gate Mountain.
I was considering making this trip the next time I went to Ho Book, but I decided to make this trip now.
“I plan on making a trip.”
Since it was a long trip and my parents might get worried about me, I told them about this trip.
“Where do you plan on going?”
“To Ho Book.”
“Why do you want to go to Ho Book?”
“I want to visit the Murim Alliance Headquarter as well as make future plans while I’m on this trip.”
“Good. You need to experience many things if you want to be a real man.”
My father believed in me since I not only had changed for the better, but I also acted more grown up. After learning from Seo Jun that my Sword Sect was truly following me, my father was even happier. He believed it was harder to gain the trust of people than to raise one’s strength. He gave the same warning as before.
“You must always be respectful towards your subordinates.”
It was a shame that my father couldn’t give me this sort of advice when I was the Mengju. What sort of life would I have had if my father was constantly giving me advice and reminders? In a human relations.h.i.+p, power wasn’t everything, something else was more important.
As I left their room, my mother followed me and said, “When you weren’t here Rin-ee came by.”
“Why did she come here?”
“She just came here to see me. I spent some quality time with her.”
She came here to see my mother? It seems that Song Hwa Rin had also changed after experiencing various things.
“What are your true feelings for her?”
“As I have told you before, I don’t plan on marrying her yet, since I have many things I must accomplish.”
Of course my mind could change. However as of now, there were too many things I had to do and there was not enough time to be dating someone.
If I did fall in love with someone in the future, my heart would give me the sign. It could be Song Hwa Rin or it could be someone else. Nothing was predetermined.
“Is the thing that you are doing right now what you want to do?”
“Yes”
My mother was worried that I might get lonely in life so she wanted me to have a companion.
I said to my mother confidently, “Mother, I am very happy right now.”
My mother gave a slight smile, “Are you? That’s all I want from you.”
“I will visit the Song Clan on my way.”
My mother said while smiling, “You don’t have if you don’t want to.”
“No mother. I was planning on going there.”
I was thankful that she visited my mother when I wasn’t here. There was also that promise I made with Song Wu Kyung, which was to visit Song Hwa Rin every so often as a punishment.
“Hahaha, good, good. You are always welcome here.”
Song Wu Kyung was greatly happy about my visit. This wasn’t that treatment that I was expecting since it was my punishment.
“Now, that you have greeted me, go meet Rin-ee.”
“Yes”
Song Wu Kyung sent me away as if he was pus.h.i.+ng me in her direction. Seeing his expression. I believed it was a good thing that I had come here.
Soo Ran escorted me to where Song Hwa Rin was, but her eyes weren’t very nice at all. However, I pretended I didn’t see anything.
When we got near the training ground she stopped and said, “I have something to say.”
“Yes, please say it.”
“Please don’t do what you did in the future.”
Her face was full of worries about her master.
“Don’t worry I won’t do it again.”
“Thank you.”
She gave me a proper bow. She may look rough and impolite on the outside but this made me have a second opinion about her. Saying this wasn’t an easy task for her. However, her loyalty for Song Hwa Rin gave her the courage that she needed to speak to me. I felt happy for Song Hwa Rin since she had such a reliable servant by her side.
Song Hwa Rin was practicing with her sword at the training ground. Seeing her slim figure practicing the techniques made her even more beautiful. She was glistening with sweat, which made this truly a beautiful scene.
She was practicing the technique that had she lost to. She was trying to fill in the weakness that I highlighted.
“Master Byuk had arrived.”
After hearing Soo Ran’s words she stopped her practice and came this way.
“You have come?”
“I’m sorry for being such a bother when you were practicing.”
“No. I was about to finish now.”
Most of her swelling had gone down, but it seems that she became even more beautiful than before.
“I heard that you visited our house.”
“I visited your mother.”
Now that I thought about it, I had heard that her mother had pa.s.sed away when she was young. In my previous life, I was raised by my mother. It seems that she was raised by her father.
She looked at me and said, “Will you look at my techniques?”
“Anytime.”
She showed her techniques once more.
“Last time you dodged my techniques this way and broke through my technique. So this was what I thought up with.”
This time she showed the improved version of her techniques. She was able to reinforce it in such a short amount of time.
I didn’t draw my weapon and stretched out my hand, “What if I attacked you from here?”
Song Hwa Rin was surprised. After changing the technique another flaw that didn’t previously exist was created.
“The answer that I was looking for wasn’t the correct one.”
