Chapter 106. Tai Gonggong’s Suspicion

ED: Chrysanthemum

Everything in the world was made of numbers.

This was the truth, and Cho Ryu Hyang knew it.

Because of this, he began to write a bunch of numbers on the paper in front of him.

After a while, he handed the piece of paper to Ju Ho Yu.

Shf-

“What’s this?”

“You’ll see when you look at it.”

Ju Ho Yu looked at Cho Ryu Hyang and thought for a second.

Tai Gonggong made an annoyed face when he saw this.

Right now, Ju Ho Yu didn’t accomplish a single thing here. Wasn’t he supposed to be the person who impressed even the general?

Tai Gonggong simply couldn’t believe that Ju Ho Yu was currently being dragged around by a child.

‘But I still gained something.’

Ju Ho Yu glanced at Cho Ryu Hyang.

Gongson Chun Gi really did get himself a good heir.

He had to admit that.

He didn’t know much about martial arts, but regarding formations, this child was as skilled as he was, the strongest formations expert in the Imperial Palace.

‘That’s why we have to get rid of him.’

Ju Ho Yu looked at the child in front of him with a saddened face.

There was a very good reason to kill this boy.

The Imperial Palace disliked beings that could become potentially dangerous to them.

Once he thought that much, he glanced down at the paper that the child had given him.

Just what was the child trying to find out from him?

He wasn’t the type of person who could be played by a mere child.

He, laughing inside, began to observe the paper. Once he did, he was no longer able to laugh.

‘Eh?’

He thought that he saw an illusion.

But the more he looked at the paper, the more concerned he became.

He couldn’t turn his eyes away from the paper.

‘This is…….’

Crackle-

Ju Ho yu gripped onto the paper.

To others, what was written on the paper may be simple numbers, but Ju Ho Yu saw something completely different.

After looking at the paper for a long while, Ju Ho Yu let out a sigh, and looked up.

His eyes held the emotion of confusion in them.

“…….How do you know teacher?”

He said this with a confused voice.

His previous calm attitude was nowhere to be found.

Cho Ryu Hyang didn’t mind it.

He simply fixed up his glasses a bit.

‘This person is the real one.’

Cho Ryu Hyang nodded without knowing it as he looked at Ju Ho Yu.

This person really was the real deal.

The title “greatest mathematician” fit the man quite well.

After thinking about what his teacher had told him about Ju Ho Yu, Cho Ryu Hyang opened his mouth.

“Is that the only thing that you’re curious of?”

Ju Ho Yu shook his head.

Was that the only thing?

Of course not.

He had so many things to ask, but he just couldn’t organize them.

‘I have to ask you something.’

But there was a single question that needed to be asked first.

And the answer to that question would decide Cho Ryu Hyang’s fate.

Ju Ho Yu’s face, at this moment, was as cold as ice.

“Were you related to teacher’s death?”

Cho Ryu Hyang nodded.

At this, Ju Ho Yu’s face turned even colder.

But at that moment,

“Teacher passed away because of me.”

“…….!”

“I am trying to take revenge for him.”

Ju Ho Yu made a dumb face for a second.

He immediately came back to his senses and asked a question.

“Did you say teacher? You say you were a student of teacher Jo Gi Chun?”

“Yes. He was my teacher.”

“…….!”

Ju Ho Yu’s face was filled with shock, then understanding.

And in the end, it turned into a sorrowful face.

‘What the hell is he doing?’

Tai Gonggong made an annoyed face as he watched Ju Ho Yu’s face change at an extreme rate.

Ju Ho Yu was unable to contain his cries at this time.

“Kuh! Kuuh!”

“Eh? Hey…… What are you…….”

Tai Gonggong tried to stop Ju Ho Yu, but the man had already begun to cry and slam the table with his fists.

“Kuheuheuk! Urk!”

“Bastard, what the hell are you doing?”

Tai Gonggong sweat profusely as he tried to stop Ju Ho Yu, but tears kept flowing out of Ju Ho Yu’s eyes.

“Kuaaa!”

“……..Son of a……. Why are you doing this to me, huh? Don’t be this way.”

Cho Ryu Hyang opened his mouth as Tai Gonggong frantically tried to control Ju Ho Yu’s sobs.

“Do you know teacher?”

“Hurk…. Hik! Of course I do! Kuh!”

Ju Ho Yu, who turned into a slobbering mess in an instant, had surprised everyone except for Cho Ryu Hyang.

‘Teacher……’

Cho Ryu Hyang, too, was surprised by Ju Ho Yu’s extreme reactions, but as he already knew that Ju Ho Yu had known about Jo Gi Chun, he wasn’t greatly surprised.

It was just that he felt something in his heart react to Ju Ho Yu’s fiery sobs. Cho Ryu Hyang immediately set out to control it.

But that wasn’t as easy as he thought.

The burning feeling in his heart spread to his entire body in an instant.

The rage and pain that he suffered from when his teacher died was boiling up again.

It was beginning to make Cho Ryu Hyang’s mental state lose balance as well.

‘Things would get troublesome if I became unstable now.’

He did not forget the pain he had felt in the past.

No, he couldn’t.

Because of that, he was planning on taking revenge for his teacher through the entire course of his life.

As Cho Ryu Hyang tried his dest to control his emotions, Ju Ho Yu had wiped away his tears with the handkerchief that Tai Gonggong had given him and managed to talk.

“Teacher Jo Gi Chun was the only person in the world who truly understood me as a mathematician. Are you truly his disciple?”

Cho Ryu Hyang nodded with reddened eyes.

“I’m his only disciple.”
