Chapter 63. Gongson Chun Gi’s Curiosity (2/2)
“Hn, just what should I do…….”
Should he directly ask his disciple? Or should he just wait? Gongson Chun Gi organized his thoughts a little, and thought about the old man again.
‘Wait, didn’t that guy say that he saw a trace of Pang Tong within me?’
Gongson Chun Gi’s eyes sparkled. Pang Tong was a name of a very famous individual in the past.
“No, it couldn’t be.”
Pang Tong. The genius strategist in the Romance of The Three Kingdoms. Gongson Chun Gi’s eyes immediately flared up when he thought up to here.
The genius of all geniuses that came up whenever Pang Tong came up. This individual’s name popped up in Gongson Chun Gi’s mind.
‘Crouching Dragon (臥龍), Zhuge Kongming (諸葛孔明).’
The hero who dominated the chaotic era of the past. When he thought of Zhuge Liang’s name, he immediately tried putting that legendary hero together with the old man inside Cho Ryu Hyang.
Surprisingly, the two matched perfectly. Gongson Chun Gi’s mouth curled up into a malevolent grin.
“Right. So……. Crouching Dragon was actually him?”
Gongson Chun Gi was certain that he was right.
“So that was the reason why I lost.”
If that old man was someone like Zhuge Liang, just battling the man in itself was amazing.
“Well, you’d need someone of that caliber to battle the likes of me in the first place.”
Gongson Chun Gi suffered quite a bit after the battle with that old man.
But when he realized that the old man was actually Zhuge Liang, his anger calmed quite a bit. The fact that he fought Zhuge Liang even made Gongson Chun Gi a little proud.
Right then.
Gongson Chun Gi opened his eyes, and turned his head. He smiled.
“Oh? Who’s this?”
Gongson Chun Gi. He stood up and grinned brightly. For once, he began to speak with a tone filled with respect, not playfulness.
This was, of course, restricted only to private places, but the individual in front of Gongson Chun Gi was the only person who he could truly speak to with comfort.
“It’s been awhile, junior brother.”
Gwon Gang Min. He had come to the garden.
“I didn’t know senior brother would actually come here. Is there anything bothering you?”
“Do I have to come to see you only when I have a problem?”
“Well, that’s not the case, but……”
Gongson Chun Gi smiled.
“Didn’t you avoid me quite a bit all this time?”
Gwon Gang Min faked a slightly hurt expression.
“There was no choice, right? The situation called for it…….”
Gwon Gang Min took care of Gongson Chun Gi like a brother since long ago due to their age difference.
The situation took quite a turn, so their relationship became a tad bit strange, but Gongson Chun Gi still thought of Gwon Gang Min as a brother.
“I’ll get some tea.”
When Gongson Chun Gi sent out an order, the people who stayed nearby began to get busy.
Gwon Gang Min, who was observing this quietly, smiled, sat down, and began to complain loudly.
“Oww, moving even a little bit tires me out so much nowadays. It feels like various parts of my body are broken. It’s almost time for me to go, it seems.”
“Well, you did live quite long, I daresay.”
“Your foul mouth still haven’t changed, eh?”
Gwon Gang Min laughed, and shook his head. He then stared at Gongson Chun Gi and spoke.
“I feel like I’m about to die at any moment, but you seem to be getting healthier every day. I even heard you got yourself a disciple.”
“Yes. He’s pretty good.”
A voice filled with pride. Gwon Gang Min’s face turned a little troubled as he observed Gongson Chun Gi’s face.
“He must be as outstanding as you.”
“Well, he’s pretty good.”
Gongson Chun Gi smiled warmly. If it’s like this, it becomes harder for Gwon Gang Min to speak. He hesitated a bit, but he soon made up his mind, and decided to speak.
“Did you meet my disciple in the past?”
“Your disciple?”
Gongson Chun Gi had heard about it, but he never saw his senior brother’s disciple.
“I never got to meet him.”
“Do you want to try meeting him?”
Gongson Chun Gi stared at his senior brother. His senior brother was a person who hated harming others and getting helped by others. It actually seemed like his senior was pressuring himself to say all this.
‘So there’s something going on here.’
Gongson Chun Gi knew that whatever his senior brother wanted to do, it wouldn’t harm him in any way. He smiled as he sent an answer at his senior brother.
“I’ll try meeting him.”
“Thank you.”
Gwon Gang Min let out a sigh of relief in his mind. He managed to do everything he could for his disciple.
‘Now, it’s your job to manage to catch the Pope’s eye.’
It was almost impossible, but there was a chance that Gongson Chun Gi might actually take a liking towards No Jin Nyung, and take the boy in as a disciple.
After all, an expert at the harmonious stage was a precious individual.
But the chance of that happening was frighteningly low. The only reason why he did all this was to simply let go of the weight in his mind.
Gwon Gang Min thought of his disciple who still dreamed of becoming the Pope, and sighed deeply.
