Chapter 140: Faintly, Abruptly (10)

As I lay my torn garments on the ground, I actually really feel that todays coaching has come to an finish.

A black martial arts uniform soaked with blood.

Whether or not these darkish stains have been from sweat or blood, nobody may inform.

But, after coaching ended like this, seeing my martial arts uniform torn to shreds made me really feel like I had really given my all right this moment.

A smile naturally fashioned on my lips, my coronary heart uplifted.

Come down slowly, and dont use that energy recklessly.

I do know. However do you place Cheondo by the identical coaching?

I requested him immediately, responding to the previous man who had began down the mountain forward of me.

Why are you interested in that?

His reply was chilly and rapid.

I shrugged and laughed awkwardly.

Simply curious. In any case, you recognize very effectively what sort of particular person she is to me.

My unmatched mentor. The one who picked me up after I was nothing.

Saying picked up may sound odd, nevertheless it felt unusual to not phrase it that manner.

Cheondo would danger her life for me, her scholar. Not many would danger their lives for a relationship of only a few weeks.

An individual I used to be grateful for.

After wanting down at me for some time, the previous man spoke indifferently.

What sort of particular person? What, are you her betrothed?

What? No, thats not it.

I used to be momentarily bowled over by his sudden joke.

That wasnt the intention behind my query. Did I inadvertently trigger him to harbor such doubts? Whereas the thought crossed my thoughts, the previous man continued talking in his standard unemotional tone.

Cheondo is aware of learn how to push herself. You, who is aware of nothing, cant examine.

You appear to know loads about your daughter?

Are you making an attempt to play phrase video games with me?

After all not.

There have been many individuals with such personalities.

Fathers too strict to specific even a single emotion correctly are as frequent as outdated dramas.

Cheondo, within the current, missed her father.

The best way he handled me confirmed he wasnt totally devoid of affection.

When you look carefully, he smiles loads.

He merely diligently restrains these feelings as a lot as attainable.

This can be a bit off-topic, however I heard from Hongyeon that youve withdrawn your involvement with Dowon. Could I ask why?

I introduced my questions one after one other.

Beating across the bush doesnt work with him, so I requested as immediately as I may.

Its not one thing it’s worthwhile to concern your self with. Werent you right here for coaching?

Simply curious.

Maybe returning like this wouldnt be so dangerous in spite of everything.

By way of reaching progress, it has been fairly successful.

However nobody is aware of if progress was the one purpose I got here to the previous.

Even the World Tree of Time may solely vaguely state that sending me to the previous was its objective.

As I discussed earlier than, I dont have a particular objective. But when I go away with out realizing this, I really feel like it is going to bother my goals.

A man who doesnt even sleep speaking nonsense.

The previous man turned his again and paused.

I sat on the rock, leisurely awaiting his response.

I created Dowon for relaxation, to not improve my workload.

I used to be already effectively conscious of Dowons origins.

Is that your reply?

What extra do you wish to know?

Properly, I dont know, possibly a dream you have been so captivated with that you just have been prepared to surrender Dowon. Or a purpose for wanting a successor.

Your manner of talking is sort of irritating. Ah a dream? Heh, its been some time since Ive heard that phrase.

Then, the previous man mentioned,

I’ve a dream.

These phrases.

Simply listening to that four-letter sentence stuffed me with a piercing sense of dj vu.

-I’ve a dream.

Cheondos phrases that I heard in Purgatory.

All kinds of feelings have been condensed in them, making the that means unclear and seemingly misplaced.

She wouldnt make clear what he meant afterward, which was irritating. Might it’s that she merely recited her fathers phrases verbatim?

I adjusted my posture respectfully.

The explanation I turned Cheonma was to kill these I disliked, whether or not they have been from the World Tree or people, it didnt matter.

Each me and this particular person. Have been already considerably ethically compromised.

The previous man stood there, self-deprecating.

I believed I used to be surrounded by naive fools, nevertheless it turned out I used to be the most important idiot of all.

Cheonma, fairly the opposite time period.

Simply dwelling as issues got here, now shamelessly, I needed to relaxation. I needed to expertise the enjoyment of elevating youngsters that others discuss. So, I returned to Dowon and settled down.

So, you created Dowon?

It simply grew by itself. A baby I picked up out of amusement turned the chief and expanded this place.

Hongyeons face got here to thoughts.

Picked up by Cheonma. I do know there have been a number of extra adoptees like that.

The previous man rotated to take a look at me.

I attempted to make this place into Dowonhyang, however now its all performed.

Dowonhyang?

One thing like a legend handed down within the Peach Tree household. An excellent world Do you perceive what I imply?

Summary, however I received the gist.

A utopia or heaven, as handed down in Asian cultures.

As I nodded, the previous man sighed deeply.

If you wish to create it, why not simply do it?

Earlier than that, Dowon could be ruined.

Dowon being ruined.

I already knew in regards to the future the place it will be ruined, nevertheless it was shocking to listen to Cheonma say it.

Excuse me?

Ive made too many enemies over time. Whether or not I die or not, Dowon will turn out to be a goal.

That is smart.

Cheonmas achievements, or ought to I say, disasters.

There have been too many to rely.

Nearly like having defeated a complete nation, it was pure that there could be many holding grudges in opposition to him.

Even when I attempt to cease it, it will simply be a matter of who dies much less or extra.

Is that why you indifferent your self from Dowon?

No.

Maybe I used to be studying an excessive amount of into it.

The previous man muttered expressionlessly.

Simply had loads to do.

Rather a lot, certainly.

I recalled a sentence I had learn in a ebook as soon as.

-To subdue Cheonma, many hunters, together with the World Tree Basis, participated in that conflict.

The 2 most up-to-date disasters in my authentic world, the Spirit King and Cheonma.

At this cut-off date, the second catastrophe had but to happen.

What the previous man known as having loads to do should have been the preparations for that.

Are you making an attempt to save lots of my grasp?

I didnt understand how many individuals survived.

Whats sure was that the clan was terminated. I solely know three individuals who survived.

Tch.

I clicked my tongue on the bitterness filling my mouth.

The conflict he single-handedly induced might need been a form of wrestle, in spite of everything.

Figuring out the end result, I couldnt assist however assume that manner.

Youve realized all you have been interested in.

When you hadnt been so dedicated to Dowon, I wouldnt have mentioned this. Tch. Cease the nonsense.

Sure Properly, Sick attempt to make amends.

Although he referred to as it nonsense, I already knew he considerably authorized of my work in Dowon.

The previous man, along with his deeply furrowed face, began down the mountain once more. I stayed put, silently reflecting on his phrases.

Whilst I placed on new garments and descended the mountain, the thought continued.

A world the place evil didn’t exist, and the great may freely pursue their beliefs.

It was exhausting to consider such ideas may belong to Cheonma.

Properly. So long as I do my half.

But, I wasnt displeased to have uncovered a secret Cheondo had harbored.

I couldnt forestall Cheonmas loss of life or Dowons break.

However I meant to do what I may whereas I may.

I used to be beginning to get a really feel for this place referred to as the previous.

If my current life was a mirrored image of this previous

It wasnt sure, however thats what I believed.

And if my prediction was right, there was nonetheless work left for me to do.
