Episode 203 It’s okay if you don’t have it.
I muttered while inadvertently looking at the sign for Cheonri Gaekjan.
“Wow, it’s so difficult to run even a small guest house properly.”
Now, the Demonic Cult may come to this place, or the White Clothes Student may come, and this time, even the Jecheon Alliance has joined in reassuringly. At this rate, it wouldn’t be surprising if a political battle broke out in front of the guesthouse.
“Sambok.”
“yes.”
“It’s this hard to run a store.”
Although it was a random remark, Sambok nodded and answered, seeming to roughly understand what I meant.
“That’s right. “I didn’t know that before either.”
I said with a smile.
“You probably didn’t know. In your eyes, you would have thought that the innkeepers and Jeomsoyi who had not learned martial arts were all men living trivial lives. However, it is not something to criticize or look down on for their weakness. Third Confucius, you cannot choose whether you are born as the son of a demonic cult leader or as an ordinary person born into an ordinary family. “Am I wrong?”
The Three Princes only nodded.
I continued speaking.
“I was born in a neighborhood like this, and if the father happens to be working at the guesthouse, the son can help out at the guesthouse all day. “Where will I find time to become strong?”
This time Sambok answered.
“That’s right.”
“You four people… … I don’t even know how my relationship will continue. Since we met like this, please do me a favor. It is true that killing and killing powerful people is a matter of pride. To some extent, it is a fair fight for both sides. But don’t harass the people who work in these places. Because of that, I kicked out Jeomsoi and created Haomun.”
Sambok looked at me with very surprised eyes and even checked his demons, color demons, and facial expressions. He asked me with an expression of disbelief.
“Was it a fortune teller?”
I nodded with a calm expression.
“It was like that once.”
He continued speaking while looking at the Cheonri Gaekjan.
“I had a guest cup like this, but it got burned up and disappeared. The butcher probably wouldn’t have built a guesthouse like this himself. He must have killed someone and taken over. “What happens in one guesthouse is so difficult.”
Suddenly, I looked at Won Ga-seong, who was wriggling like an earthworm next to me.
“The eyes are alive, but they’re still alive.”
I returned to where I was sitting and looked at Won Ga-seong, who was struggling to get up. A trickle of blood was flowing from his forehead.
Won Ga-seong knelt down with a miserable expression and looked at us. He had a half-fazed expression.
The demon asked me for my opinion.
“Moonju, what will that guy do now? Now, I think it’s right to always ask the third person’s opinion to resolve the situation. “How about the fourth?”
The devil answered.
“Why am I fourth? “It’s annoying.”
Demon Demon offered a solution.
“If you don’t like the fourth, make a fifth. “I’m also making a sixth one.”
I didn’t have the heart to suggest a solution, so I just gave up.
“If nothing else, I should have been born early. What would you have done if you weren’t born beforehand? And we don’t have to decide on cost-effectiveness. This is the guy who came to capture the three princes, so the three princes must choose. Kill or save, do whatever you want. “It has a deeper relationship with your fate, so it’s none of my business.”
The Three Princes looked at Yuan Gaseong and nodded.
“Who ordered it?”
Yuan Gaseong looked at the expressions of the three princes. It wasn’t a good move. This is because the Three Princes are once again the Grand Dukes of the Demonic Cult and have no hesitation in killing such a bastard.
I answered right away as if I was aware of the cost.
“The Second Grand Duke requested it.”
“What are you saying?”
Wonsung also spoke as if he had something to say.
“You knew that the Three Grand Dukes were recruiting Sima Wei Dao masters. He asked that since he was busy with training, it would be better to resolve the matter in Jecheon-maeng or capture the three princes alive and bring them to him. Instead, he told us to kill all the Sima Maoists around the Three Confucius.”
We looked at the three princes who could not answer.
The Three Princes thought for a moment and said to Yuan Gaseong:
“Head of the Won clan.”
“Please speak.”
“Tell Hao Wen-ju that all of the Sima Daoists I was using are dead. And I was driven to the brink of death by Hao Wen-ju, but unexpectedly I was forgiven by the apostate Gwangmyeongjwa Master Geomma and was released. Do you understand up to this point?”
“I understand.”
“You may be asking why the left monk suddenly appears there, but it was unexpected for me as well. I could explain that Hao Wenju and Zuo Si seem to be close friends. Let’s set the situation like this. Please pass it on to the second child. I will withdraw from the battle for successor. “I promise that I will not enlist Sima Yuedou or Salsu to attack the two Grand Dukes.”
Won Gaseong nodded.
“hmm.”
The Three Confucius announced his decision.
“Just tell them not to touch my mother’s family. I will voluntarily step down from the successor structure, but as a strong person… … Tell them that you will practice martial arts and challenge the great princes someday. I won’t be returning to school for a while. “Won’s head, I hope you convey my true feelings.”
Won Gaseong answered.
“I will try my best.”
The Three Princes nodded.
“If it’s okay with Hao Wen-ju, I will save you and send you back. good.”
Won Ga-seong stood up with difficulty and looked at me with an anxious expression.
“Lord Moon.”
“why?”
“Can I go back?”
I sat down in my chair and gestured toward Won Gaseong.
“Come here. “We need to say goodbye.”
Won Ga-seong came closer to me and stood with his hands clasped in front of him. After remembering Won Ga-seong’s face once again, I expressed my sincerity.
“Head of the Won family, I am.”
“yes.”
“I know that my current skills may not be enough compared to your leader or the best players within the Jecheon Alliance. “I’m being honest.”

“yes.”
I spoke while making eye contact with Won Ga-seong.
“But I promise that if a war breaks out with the Jecheon Alliance, I will personally tear down eight-half of your Jecheon Alliance members and kill them.”
“… … .”
“You are the messenger who will convey the intentions of the Three Princes and Hao Wen. I hope that your judgment and speech will prevent war. “You must have seen with your own eyes the damn evil thing I was trying to do from the top of the guesthouse, right?”
“Yes, I saw the light.”
“I am a man who comes and goes, so I don’t always show mercy. Now that things have come to this, Jecheonmaeng, please investigate my whereabouts in more detail. I came this far by mostly killing everyone. You’re lucky. good.”
Only then did Won Gaseong let out a trembling breath, raise his arms towards me, look around at the people, and say goodbye.
“Lord Mun, Confucius Mong, Teacher Yuk-hap, and the three Grand Dukes. I’m going away. “Thank you for saving my life.”
When I spoke without mentioning myself, Sambok snorted.
Won Ga-seong discovered Sambok and spoke in a condescending tone.
“I’m sorry for making you upset. Thanks to you, it worked out well for you too. “Okay then.”
Sambok muttered to Won Ga-seong, who showed his back.
“I wonder if that bastard is sorry or wants revenge… … .”
As the atmosphere became awkward, Sambok immediately apologized to the three princes, probably because he thought he had gone too far.
“sorry. Confucius.”
The Three Confucius looked up at the sky and answered.
“What are you sorry for?”
“I said something presumptuous.”
The Three Confucius looked at the Three Boks blankly.
“You can do that much.”
“yes.”
For a moment, no one spoke, so the area in front of Cheonri Gaekjan became quiet for a moment. A moment like this could be said to be just sitting still and doing nothing.
Sambok moved alone and walked around pouring drinks. From the looks of it, Sambok wanted to drink alcohol, so he poured it for us first.
When I had quenched my thirst a little with alcohol, the Three Princes spoke in a calm tone.
“… … The first thing I learned when I was young was to reduce joys and sorrows. If you are very happy, you will build up affection, and if you accumulate affection, it will interfere with your training. If you get very angry, you will lose your cool, and if you lose your cool, you will lose sight of your enemy. When you grieve greatly, your heart becomes weak, and when your heart becomes weak, you forgive your enemies. If you are very happy, you will pursue pleasure, and if you pursue it, you will neglect your training. You can only become stronger by reducing your joys and sorrows. You can only survive if you become strong. “It’s something I learned before I even learned martial arts.”
I looked at the expressions of the Three Confucius. Now that I think about it, the guy’s expression didn’t seem to have any particular emotions. He was a man who learned to control his emotions.
Of course, I don’t know why he said this while drinking.
However, since everyone was drinking, they were ready to listen to the three princes.
I spoke to the three princes who stopped speaking for a moment.
“so.”
The Three Princes looked ahead and sighed.
“so… … Did this happen? Even if someone around me suddenly died, I didn’t feel too sad. There was nothing to be very happy about, nothing to be very happy about. Teacher Left and Teacher Woo, who taught us for a while, were men who seemed to have no emotions. It was the same with other instructors and masters. However, all the men who lacked this emotion were afraid of or had a hard time with the religious leader, so I naturally thought this way. Someday, I will have to become that kind of person. “Is this right?”
The Three Confucius looked at us and said with truly empty eyes.
“Honestly, I don’t know how to live from now on.”
I couldn’t help but laugh.
When I laughed, the Three Confucius asked as if they were curious.
“Why are you laughing?”
“There is no particular reason to smile. “If it’s funny, you’re laughing.”
The Three Confucius said to me:
“I know well about anger among joys and sorrows. “But right now, it’s hard to tell whether my feelings are sadness or not.”
After I had a drink, I got up, walked forward, and stood in front of an audience made up of villains.
I felt like I was putting on a one-man show, and I also felt like a teacher teaching immature villains.
Anyway, after thinking about it for a while, I said what I wanted to say.
“What is sadness?”
I walked back and forth with my back to him and pointed to Cheonri Gaekjan.
“The name of the guest cup that my grandfather left me is Jaha Guest Cup. One day, when I realized too late that my grandfather was too old. Only then did I take a closer look at my grandfather’s life and realize that this person’s life was mostly about worrying about me from the time he opened his eyes to the time he closed them. My grandfather’s and my life showed no signs of getting any better. I found out too late that my grandfather would soon be leaving for heaven. “One day, I returned home after wandering around aimlessly, and before I even went into my room, I realized that it was very quiet.”
“… … .”
“I knew it then. I knew from a long time that I was alone, but in fact, I was not alone because of my grandfather. And I realized in the silence that I was now alone. “In general, sadness is a moment when these emotions come rushing in at once.”
I looked into the eyes of the three princes.
“Do you have any idea what sadness is?”
The Three Princes nodded.
I now explained my anger to the Three Princes.
“… … There were still a lot of memories left in the guesthouse, but in fact, there wasn’t much money. Because I had to pay the repayment. I often fought with people who were extorting money, but one day I heard a strange noise and ran out to find the guesthouse on fire. It burned very brightly. Gaekjan was very weak to fire. As I looked at the guest house engulfed in fire, my thoughts became complicated as I remembered my grandfather. My heart as I was looking at the people who started the fire was clear anger. “Do you understand this too?”
The Three Princes nodded.
This time I also briefly described joy, which is not my area of expertise.
“Still, I am satisfied because I feel like I have given demons like you a rough idea of what sadness is today. “That is my little joy.”
“… … .”
Sambok asked me with a dry smile.
“Lord Moon, then what is joy?”
I answered with a smile on my face.
“I don’t know much about that. You can’t find out right away. I’ll try to guess what the greatest joy in the world is… … For guys like us, the chances of that day ever coming are slim. “It is difficult.”
Sambok nodded.
“That’s right.”
I said after erasing my smile.
“There are still a lot of people to kill, so let’s think about it later. Not yet. Who can explain pleasure to me? “Is there one?”
I looked at the color demon, the demon demon, the three princes, and the three fuks in turn. Everyone kept their mouths shut and shook their heads or stayed still.
I nodded and then spoke.
“It’s okay if you don’t have it.”
