Chapter 29: Nirvana Painting (12)

In the main hall of the Hwarangs.Witness the debut of this chapter, unveiled through Ñôv€l--B1n.

The Governor and the heads of the troops were gathered, along with some officials of the Great Heavenly Pavillion.

Jin Rim opened his mouth.

In the house of the merchant living in the city, there was a mysterious incident in which the painting that disappeared a long time ago suddenly appeared and kidnapped thirteen civilians. This seemed to be one of the supernatural calamities that were foreseen.

Everyone looked at the Great Heavenly Pavillion members.

And so Seol Young Hwarang had volunteered to solve the problem on the site and went there. And as everyone knows, the evil painting was subdued, and the civilians were safely rescued.

Jin Rim looked at Seol Young.

Seol Young-rang, what was the reason for this mysterious incident?

Seol Young-rang responded after bowing to the Governor.

It was because of the grudge of the painter who lost his son in an unfair manner in the past. The soul of the painter had been extinguished, and the painting had completely disappeared from the world after that. It will never happen again.

What does the High Governor think about it?

Jin Rim asked Zaha.

I heard that you visited the site and made sure everything happened correctly. High Governor, is Seol Young-rang telling the truth?

Seol Young looked at Zaha, and their eyes met.

So what If he doesnt admit it?

Seol Young was confident because there were many witnesses that day. All of them were carefully watching Seol Youngs actions.

Everything he said is the truth.

Whatever it was, Zaha spoke the truth.

Jin Rim looked at Seol Young again.

If the High Governor is the one who acknowledged it, I have nothing more to say. Seol Young-rang, is there anything more you want to say about this incident?

Seol Young raised his head.

This time, Zaha looked at him.

If I wasnt there, could you have even cleared it?

That was what his eyes were saying.

But Seol Young ignored him.

It was difficult, but with the help of the heavens, I was able to solve it safely. If I had been an idiot and ruined the place, I would have never been able to get it done. This is why I have no fear. The heavens will continue to hold my hand.

Seol Youngs face looked cold, and his expression was dignified.

Seol Young didnt actually think it was solved because of the heavens. He just said that so that the officials would listen to him.

The officials thought his words were arrogant, but they couldnt find any faults in them.

I get it.

The Great Heavenly Pavillions leader nodded.

I will inform His Highness about this.

She gracefully got up and left the place, with her officials following behind her.

Everyone looked at them leave without saying anything, and after they felt their presence vanish, Jin Rim said,

Fortunately, this event was solved well. But its better to be cautious. Everyone, be careful and stay alert. If something unusual happens, notify the High Governor or me immediately. Or Seol Young-rang too.

Yes.

Several Hwarangs nodded and withdrew.

Seol Young got out of the way and momentarily passed the Black Tortoise Divine Troops.

Beom Hyun and Mo Cheon, who were about to be hacked to pieces by the painting, had slightly awkward expressions.

They just nodded and walked past him.

Once everyone left, the three Hwarangs of the White Tiger Spirit Troops entered.

You did well. For real.

Baek Eon said softly.

Seol Young, who had finished the report emotionlessly, was calm and compassionate with the three Hwarangs.

It must have been hard.

With that thought in mind, he walked through the strangely shaped rocks in the garden. But as soon as he entered

A black shadow moved from the trees.

Seol Young was surprised that he hadnt felt anything up until now and immediately grabbed the hilt of his sword.

Zaha.

Why was he here?

He tried to run but

Seol Young-rang, what is this?

As he was motionless, the man continued.

The case has ended, yet you sneak into the scene. What is the purpose of this? Some other reason?

That

Why are you not answering me? As expected, the prophecy of the Great Heavenly Pavillion seems to be right. You are the idiot who is going to cause the fall of the nation.

Seol Young was shocked.

No. I have come to finish something.

Finish what? Did you not see with your own eyes that everything had ended? Didnt we solve all the remaining questions you had? And what more can be left in here?

Zaha was brutally questioning him, making Seol Young feel cold, but this was true.

He had also seen the full process, and everyone knew it. So even if he explained himself, who would believe him?

The souls have perished, and no one would understand him. They would think that he got caught by the High Governor as he tried to cover up some wrongdoings. And this is why ridiculous excuses are worthless.

If he does accuse Seol Young, then he cant escape from this.

In a brief moment, he had 50,000 thoughts cross his mind.

But

Suddenly, he grinned.

Did I scare you?

I know why you came. You have come to hold a ritual of peace.

Seol Young was surprised.

How

I saw you near the tombs.

Zaha replied.

You released the shattered tomb spirits at once and held a memorial for them. Saying you felt bad.

You did the same with the stone beasts too, so there is no way you will leave the painter and his sons souls to be in any more pain. That must be the reason why you came here.

Seol Young was taken aback by Zahas words.

Just because of that guess, you came here and secretly waited for me?

Thinking about how he accused him earlier, he felt angry.

He was taken aback, thinking he would put himself in an awkward position in front of others.

But to see right through him, he wanted to make a life-and-death decision for this man.

But wasnt that the kind of reaction Zaha would expect?

Seol Young quietly chanted patience in his mind.

And said.

You are sly.

Zaha looked around and asked,

Me?

Is there someone else here?

Seol Young replied.

A person who does anything to intimidate others by finding their weakness. What would one call such a person?

He turned cold.
