TCRH Ch 4

But leaving all that aside, Hwi Biyeon’s heart pounded with the sensation of being alive with every breath, overwhelmingly joyful. After all, wasn’t there hope that he could change the devastating future with his own hands?3736f481ef8b8f45

‘…I’ve been given a chance. Even if I have to dedicate myself to my training again, I can’t just stand by and let the bloodshed happen. The Seventeen Thousand Bloodshed will somehow strangle me. I have a feeling.’0f5642b1b9c16618

He had a premonition that he had to prevent the massacre, no matter what. Hwi Biyeon’s cool eyes began to burn. To do that, he needed to be stronger than he was now, he needed to cultivate his power.e07b9a40d0f43b09

Unable to contain his f13884ed59 anxiety, he abruptly stood d0154b34a4 up. At that moment, 24fe5da00d he sensed someone 0572a4444f approaching the training cd5be0222c grounds. This training ground 0bf566e9e9 was exclusively for 5963c2eb05 Myeonmyeon and his f74d690827 disciples, even within c6a72e81ee Taebaek Peak. Myeonmyeon only 1d8191d7b0 had three 107043933a disciples, and 914a2043bb one of 6e2f48a77d them, a f6fd0f8940 secular disciple, 1a58e04d60 had already b48b00dfa3 returned to c5abf27aef the secular ae6cda111e world. So, the only 76c2ce15ae person who would 048120a032 come here, besides 0745c10e1e Hwi Biyeon, was 6c48175ce0 naturally the remaining 248d6482d6 disciple.17970d4c29c85314

Dark skin, large build, and an innocent face. Perhaps disliking the misconception that he looked ferocious like a bear with his mouth closed, he usually maintained a frivolous attitude. Although Hwi Biyeon couldn’t treat him warmly due to their incompatible personalities, he still held affection for him as his only fellow disciple.8d3c118964fb3409

How could Nam Jibyeok not notice Hwi Biyeon putting up a wall, given his obvious behavior? Nam Jibyeok asked, his face full of questions. He seemed bewildered by his senior brother’s sudden change in attitude, displaying hostility overnight, when just yesterday he had only frowned at his silly antics, not shown any killing intent.03316b397d839e7d

How could he explain fa73f65dfe that in the future, 0f07b75ab8 Jibyeok would kill the b54bfeb8d3 young disciples of their 5c9c52b89e sect, when nothing had d7ac6d1d36 even happened yet? Hwi Biyeon 6a9b1d4c86 avoided his 69f2c56f36 eyes, firmly 77974cae72 closed his e38d13a119 mouth, and e6a7c61c9a rose to 2747ab2d76 leave.

His murmuring voice lacked b064aad529 strength. Seeing him like that, f55102190a Hwi Biyeon felt just fe72ecf49a as tormented. The two 241a118a57 had nothing 0d7a9e4acb in common 5e1b82ffa4 and often 644ae0dd6b clashed, but df3091d63a they had 1694f3f265 never truly f1d7b457f0 disliked each 2dd7a5405c other as e4cc10484c the only c7ef893a53 senior and bf99526667 junior brothers.

“Ouch!”8e6a70d3b75b66a3

Nam Jibyeok, without being asked, began sweeping the training grounds, looking apprehensive. Hwi Biyeon followed him with his eyes, then, overwhelmed by his complex emotions, he finally shouted. He couldn’t bear it any longer. Soon, he would once again commit an unforgivable act. Killing the young disciples of the Taebaek Clan was a grave sin, as serious as destroying the sect itself.2ac5bb218a460f2a

On the day he returned after killing Nam Jibyeok, Hwi Biyeon had completely erased the memories and emotions associated with him after seeing Master Myeonmyeon’s sorrowful face. Or so he thought. But now, seeing his fellow disciple alive and moving, his heart ached as if it were being torn apart. What had he been thinking, committing such a heinous act?5510cf9872fbe3a5

The reason 39682c6c64 Hwi Biyeon 980b90df81 knew for cb7ddb05e1 Nam Jibyeok 7f131f7804 killing the a64443fb75 young disciples 0aaa34ccef was the 2854a34937 woman he 6df61490df was seeing 393b0e050c at the a9cf508cce time. The young 4175deca46 disciple was e4404dac3f a girl c92bdf1767 who had 201e60a2d8 recently joined bcb0b854fa the Taebaek 3dfbca15d0 Clan.

“Senior Brother! It’s a misunderstanding! I really, I don’t know what’s going on!”405a4b99991fc0ff

At the time, Hwi Biyeon had been so enraged by the fact that Nam Jibyeok was the one who killed the young disciple that his cries hadn’t registered. Now, thinking calmly, he began to suspect that there might have been some reason, some story behind how a man who had cultivated the Dao his entire life could commit such a grave sin, even if he was infatuated with a woman. There were too many things that didn’t add up.31e785f2d331ac4f

However, the woman Nam Jibyeok had been seeing had already disappeared, and the disciple was dead. Nam Jibyeok himself had died by Hwi Biyeon’s hand, so the truth of the incident remained buried with no one to know it. Hwi Biyeon embraced Nam Jibyeok and swallowed his tears.051b049f79679fde

In the past, Hwi Biyeon had truly hated Nam Jibyeok. He couldn’t forgive or understand him for killing a young disciple just for a woman. Those feelings had lingered for a long time, so even now, even though Jibyeok hadn’t committed the act yet, he couldn’t bring himself to treat him warmly. But this time, he wouldn’t let the young disciples die. And if possible, Jibyeok too…4f0b8856889acdb5

‘…Right. For now, figuring out why Jibyeok killed the young disciple, the reason behind it, is more important than the bloodshed that’s still a year away.

Naturally, the existence 79c0eae8ff of the Sixth 9002ce9f27 Prince Geum Wi, 6000c5d4a6 the son of 6633487ce6 a villainess, was 59ccc0e504 like a lamp 6775090561 in the wind. He seemed to 45c9336289 have judged that dae5b85e7c it would be 26ea3b154d difficult to find b4f60c1e21 his footing within a62c101925 the inner palace, 2864a99cc6 so he began 5e86315261 to build his 7eac7724f8 influence outside the 2bf9192ec3 palace, in the a369192a5e martial world. He had come to 57df9f2eea the Taebaek Clan seeking fe05cbe457 their support, but the 6c4ccea4c6 Taebaek Clan, having no 7eccb0fb49 reason to involve themselves ffac9d650d with the secular world, 9acca9d436 cautiously declined.35fedcefb527062e

And that night, Nam Jibyeok killed the young disciple and fled, while the Sixth Prince quietly disappeared amidst the chaos. For Hwi Biyeon, Nam Jibyeok’s actions had been a much bigger event than the Sixth Prince’s visit, so he had completely forgotten about it until now.1fa2b23856f529e7

That was understandable, as the Sixth Prince Geum Wi was the type of person Hwi Biyeon most disliked and despised. His reputation as a notorious womanizer alone made Hwi Biyeon frown. He was so obsessed with women that he had over thirty concubines when he was Emperor, and it was said that there wasn’t a single court lady in the palace whom he hadn’t touched. Of course, aside from his obsession with women, he was known as a good ruler. That is, if one overlooked the fact that he had fathered over twenty-four children due to his dalliances.8acf48003f9cbc45

Rumors about his womanizing 2dedccb822 were so rampant that 3b59675b32 even Hwi Biyeon, who cd7ce7bca6 was uninterested in worldly 2cb5754818 affairs, knew about them b565aa3d7c and clicked his tongue 27565e87c7 in disapproval.a4a52417e23e701b
