The Teacher’s Grace Is Like Heaven

29 – The Exit Ticket出師表(3)

Both the external and internal wounds are severe. The only place that can handle this level of wounding is Jie Galse.

Luckily, the Jegalsega gave her full support. They had heard from Bi Yan that her master had saved the family.

That day, the overwhelming sight of the mountain being uprooted threw everyone into confusion. If Bi Liu had not intervened, the mountain would have been buried, and

the family would have suffered devastating damage that would have shaken its foundations.

Of course, there were those who disagreed with such a move,

not only Jegal Han, the head of the family, but also Jegal Hyuk, the head of the small family. Those few complaints were quickly suppressed and disappeared. However, this behavior struck Jegal Hyuk as odd. Of course, there could be complaints. As long as you put Sega first, it’s understandable.

But…… even so, let’s just throw them out right away? That’s the kind of opinion that can come from Jegalese, not from any other Sega?

A warlord should be able to treat even a guest with no ties to the family with grace. Wasn’t he the one who saved the family’s life?

‘…… I’ll have to look into that.’

I’d been investigating the group that had been hanging out with Jegalgak in the first place.

It would be premature to tell everyone yet.

With that thought, Jegalhyeok closed the book he had opened, for he felt a movement outside. As expected, the door opened in a rush. A servant hired by Sega appeared. Jegal Hyuk turned his head and looked at the servant. The servant spoke.

“The Great Emperor has awakened!”

“Is it true?”

“How dare you lie in front of me?”

“Very well, let’s go.”

Zhuge Liang rushed out without delay. He wanted to thank the benefactor in person, both as a post-martial arts student and for saving his family.

The inner clinic, where the councilor prescribed treatments and medicines, was located in an outbuilding slightly away from the mansion. This was Yang Doojin’s own wish.

He didn’t want to hear the sound of him reading a book, but he thought he was being eccentric anyway, so he quickened his pace.

Already, a number of people from the Jegalese family, including Gajuna and Zhang Wenyin, were gathered in the outbuildings of the inner council. Jegal Hyuk slipped right in between them.

“You’ve been occupying the bed for half a year already, haven’t you?”

“You’re giving up your bed to a nameless romantic like that.”

“No, what are you talking about…….”

“Gal, don’t you dare say where you are!”

But before he could say anything to them. At the sound of Jegal-han’s shouting, they quickly left, coughing incoherently.

Jegal-hyeok was dumbfounded by their ridiculous behavior, but that was not the point now. First, he would thank his benefactor.

That was his duty as the head of the Jegalese family in charge of the island. Jie Galhyuk took care of his grooming once more before entering the inner sanctum. Bags of medicinal herbs hung from the ceiling, and the bitter scent of a pharmacy pierced his nostrils. And there sat a man.

Half of his body, including both arms, were bandaged, but none of it could conceal the powerful energy that flowed from him. Jegalhyuk swallowed dryly.

‘I can only feel a handful of internal strength. But…….’

For a martial artist, it was internal strength that was the object of evaluation. Today’s martial arts are characterized by discipline and strength.

From that point of view, the man in front of him had a history that was no less than a third-rate. But…… for some reason, he felt his body tense up, as if he was looking at a mountain in front of him. A sense of awe was flowing from him. Then, the woman next to him spoke.

“If you have nothing to say, get out of here.”

“Yeon-ah, what kind of language is that?”

“I’m sorry. Master.”

“Huh……?”

What did I just see?”

A fundamental question struck his mind. In his mind, Tianbi Yan was no different from a ferocious beast. A beast was certainly more powerful than a human, but it lacked intelligence, which meant that in his mind, Chen Biyun was no better than a beast.

At the time, it was understandable.

But now, he couldn’t help but revise his opinion.

Of course, he still didn’t speak, but it seemed to Jegal-hyuk that he was doing it on purpose, like a child diverting his parents’ attention. It was as if he had sworn on purpose.

As proof, he was rebuked by his teacher. The corners of Bi Yan’s mouth curled into a smile of delight. Of course, it disappeared as soon as their eyes met.

“How are you feeling, Dai Hyeop?”

“Much better, thanks to you.”

“Good, I’m late with the introduction. I’m Jegal Hyuk, the head of the Jegal Family.”

“I’m called Jegal Hyuk.”

“…….”

Jegal Hyuk waited in silence. He didn’t want to interrupt the conversation, but Tianbi Liu didn’t say anything. He was puzzled.

Regardless of his history, he was the one who had saved the main family. It was a feat worthy of him. He had thought there would be some other distinction.

But he didn’t say anything, just stood still.

“I don’t have a star, Xiao Xiao.”

“Well, that’s surprising, isn’t it?”

“I suppose that means I’m not good enough.”

At least Viryu was sincere. He was content with what he had so far. Even if it’s not great, it’s my fault for not being good enough.

If I continue to train every day and build up my skills, I’ll get it one day.

Besides, according to the martial arts novels he had read so far, martial artists who could pull down mountains or cut through the sky were all over the place. If one is unaware, if one is not angry when others do not recognize one, then one is also a warrior.

In other words, he was saying that it didn’t matter what his feats were. Zhuge Liang hung his head in shame.

‘How can that be called first-class?! At best, it’s second-rate!”

“Uh-huh! You’re a blind man, aren’t you? Your cultivation is so low.”

“What? I’m not mocking you for having a gaping mouth!”

‘…….’

“…….”

Bone-cutting martial arts had become a means of showing off, and the days of cooperative celebration of each other’s achievements were long gone. Now, there are five great families, each practicing martial arts for their own self-interest and power, and each is busy eating the other. As a junior student in such a world, I felt so ashamed that I dared not raise my head, and it was no wonder. Afterward, Jie Galchuk and Jie Galhan talked briefly with Chen Bi Liu, and on their way back to their quarters, Jie Galhan asked Jie Galchuk, who said nothing: “What did you think of Dai Hai?” “I’ll be honest with you.” “So be it.” “At first, I thought he was a third-rate martial artist.” “He was a third-rate martial artist.There’s a saying in Murim that goes something like this.

Somewhere along the line, the roles were reversed, and people began to judge others based on their character. People judged their opponents based on their history.

If you had a lot of internal strength, you were first-class. If you had little internal strength, you were second- or third-class. That was what Jie Galhuk thought as well. He asked again.

“Do you still harbor such thoughts?”

“No, I do not.”

“Then, in your opinion, what was Dai Hao like?”

“He was like a mountain.”

His words were unwavering. No matter what anyone else in the world said, he walked steadfastly on his own path. That was the impression Jie Galhyuk had of the celestial beast.

Seeing that, Jie Galhan smiled gently. As a father, how could he not be pleased that his son had come to an important realization.

After all, that’s what it is.

“Wait, are you alright?”

“Cooperation?”

“Do you need anything?”

At the sudden appearance of Bi Yan behind him, Jie Gal Hyuk shook his head. Why are you here?

After looking at him for a moment, she gave a small nod, for she could sense a change in his demeanor. She began to explain,

why she was here and what she needed. The longer she went on, the angrier Jie Galhuk became. On the contrary, Jie Galhan questioned her.

“You speak as if you are leaving.”

At Jie Galhan’s sharp question, Bi Yan answered without hesitation.

“I have work to do.”

“And until I finish my work…… I can’t be by your side.”
