In the meantime, the ambassador took a sip of tea and sighed again.
“I didn’t know it would be this much.”
“What….”
“Your master had good reason to worry.”
“Master?”
“I thought that guy was overly concerned when he took on a disciple for the first time. You didn’t seem like the children of that age, so I thought he was simply fretting unnecessarily. But now I understand.”
He said that.
I still felt awkward, but I kept my composure and focused on the conversation. Come to think of it, there were a few times when my master would wear a worried expression if I showed a reaction that wasn’t like that of a child. I remembered that.
I was contemplating making some excuse, but the ambassador saw my expression and quickly waved his hand.
“Well, never mind. You have your reasons too. Anyway, you are already a disciple of Hwasan, so there’s no need to delve into every single worldly affair.”
“……Yes.”
It seemed like he knew that before I came to Hwasan, my family had been annihilated, and I was left alone.
After all, the ambassador would have heard it from my master a long time ago. If he took my unchildlike behavior as stemming from that experience, I would be grateful.
“You should sometimes act like a child to your master. It’s okay to behave your age. He’s been looking only at his sword all his life, and you’re his first disciple.”
“Ah…… I understand.”
I didn’t really know, but I responded that way.
“Yes. So, what about it.”
The ambassador changed the slightly lighter mood.
“What do you want to do with your brothers?”
“Ah.”
I had indeed been talking about my brothers at first.
“You didn’t speak kindly to your brothers either. You spoke well. I was impressed.”
“That, that’s.”
“But in the end, it was your brothers who provided the cause for that. No matter how dissatisfied you may be, it wasn’t something to do to your one and only sibling at that age.”
I played with my teacup, rolling my eyes. The ambassador watched me quietly and then added.
“What do you want to do? Your ambassador is the chief pharmacist, so you can insist on something. If you want to go to the repentance hall, we can put you in there for a day or so.”
At that, I inadvertently laughed.
It was not the time to laugh, but it was obvious that he was trying to console me with that statement.
You can’t put someone in the repentance hall just because there’s a little quarrel between disciples. The repentance hall is for something more substantial, like when you’ve seriously disgraced the family or broken the rules.
When I laughed, the ambassador hesitated. I looked at him and said slowly.
“It’s okay. Stirring up trouble among the disciples is not good either. Even if my brothers were the cause, the fact that I was wrong won’t go away. They are my brothers, after all.”
“……How did you end up with this one?”
“Yes?”
“Never mind, nothing. So you’ll just stay still?”
“Yes.”
His strange gaze made me explain a bit longer.
“You said earlier that the problem isn’t completely resolved, but my brothers must have been shocked by your brief scolding, so I don’t think the same thing will happen again.”
The ambassador finally nodded slowly. After a brief silence, he asked.
“Is that the end of it?”
I smiled bitterly.
“……Probably not. I think that the dissatisfaction that wasn’t resolved today might pile up and become a bigger problem later.”
“Do you have something in mind for that too?”
I did.
I hadn’t had time to think about this issue while I was getting used to living for about 3 months after waking up. But since I encountered the disciples of this generation upon returning from Gangho, and overheard Ryu, my brother, expressing dissatisfaction, I had thought about it whenever I had a chance.
I had considered various things, but in the end, it came down to one thing.
“I have to make them acknowledge me somehow. But I haven’t come up with a viable method yet. I just thought that if I work harder, time will solve it eventually.”
The bishop, who had heard it all, chuckled.
“That’s the answer. In fact, anything beyond that is not your problem to worry about, so don’t dwell on it too much. If you think about it, your stumbling over the entrance exam is the same as throwing up over the decision of the examiners. They are people living on the volcano, so problems will arise, and if there is constant noise, action will be needed, but you did nothing wrong in all of this.”
“Understood.”
With that conversation, we completely stopped mentioning him by mutual unspoken agreement.
“Have another cup of tea before you leave.”
“Yes…….”
Although he said one cup, I could only get up after having two more cups.
After bidding the bishop farewell and leaving the main hall, I was lost in thought as I headed back to my quarters.
It was not only about the Jade Plumage story, but also the conversation that followed. The bishop was just a bit frightening in appearance, but in fact, he never really disliked ‘Ha Hyun.’
He would have accepted me just as I am even if I hadn’t acted like a child or if I had no talent.
My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”
