Time passes like a sword, which can't be stopped in the middle,
The world changes like seasons and weather, old goes and young come.
Destruction follows the creation, everything finds its end for development.
Evolution is the result of destruction.
Plants grow from decaying matter.
The more we know, the more we understand that we know nothing.
The hypothesis is formed after many results, but even then, there are exceptions.
This is what we call a changing world.
Many years had already passed after Cho Byeol lost her cultivation. She was already a Rank three peak stage. She already adapted to the fact that her talent was now ordinary or even lower. Because of this, it took her many years to reach Rank three peak stage. She had already forgiven Dong-Min. In fact, she didn't even blame Dong-Min. She considered Dong-Min to be her best friend.
On a fine day, Cho Byeol and Dong-Min were sitting near the same river, and looking at the river. The sun was bright, there were many trees near the riverside, the river was deep and many kilometers wide.
"Hey Cho Byeol, do you know that I found a cure for your aperture," after a while, Dong-Min said to Cho Byeol while looking at her. His expression was calm and there was some excitement in his eyes.
"A cure, interesting…, wait a minute…, what did you just say…., a cure" At first Cho Byeol didn't understand what Dong-Min said but after a while, she was jolted awake and said while stuttering with excitement on her face.
"Yeah, a cure, that's exactly what I said," Dong-Min nodded and said happily.
"Really Dong-Min, you're not lying right, if you're, then I won't forgive," Cho Byeol grabbed Dong-Min's arms and said.
"Why would I lie to you? I'm telling the truth, and you know, you'll get completely fine after this cure," Dong-Min answered.
"So, what are you waiting for, give it to me," Cho Byeol asked happily and couldn't wait any longer for the cure.
"Well, that's what the problem is. My uncle has it, and he won't give it to me, telling me that I'm a fool," Dong-Min said,
"So, we can't get it then," Cho Byeol said dejectedly, with all the excitement vanishing from her face.
"No, no, that's not what I'm saying. I'm just saying that he won't give it to me, that doesn't mean that he wouldn't give it to someone else." When Dong-Min saw Cho Byeol's expression, he hurriedly said,
"So, would he give it to me?" Cho Byeol said expectantly.
"Why would he? But if they're your parents, it might be possible." Dong-Min said while thinking.
"You're saying that he would not help me directly but if it's a favor to my parents, he might, right?" Cho Byeol said after thinking for a while. She understood what Dong-Min was trying to say. After all, she was kind but not a fool. " I'll tell my parents, and see what they say about this"
"You should, after all, this is a great chance for you to get better," Dong-Min said.
CHo Byeol nodded, she also knew this. After telling this, Dong-Min started practicing. Cho Byeol watched him while thinking about what Dong-Min said,
…..
It was already night, there was huge grassland and a house made of wood was located in the middle of the grassland a palace could be seen far away,
At this moment, a man and two women were sitting in a room around a small square table, discussing something while drinking tea. They were Cho Byeol, her mother, and her father.
"So, you're saying that Dong-Min's uncle has the cure, but he won't give it to him and might give it to us, right? Eun Kyung said while looking gently at Cho Byeol.
" Yeah, that's it," Cho Byeol answered.
"Then, why didn't you say yes, instead of asking us?" Her father said.
"Because I wanted to discuss it with you instead of directly inviting his uncle here, and if you two invite him, it would be even good," Cho Byeol said excitedly.
"Very well then, I'll invite his uncle here tomorrow, you can go and rest," Cho Byeol's father said calmly.
After hearing this Cho Byeol left happily.
After Cho Byeol left the room, their expression turned serious.
"What do you think?" Cho Byeol's father asked.
"I think it's weird as well, why would Dong-Min suddenly know that his uncle has the cure but can't get it. And a thing which can cure the aperture is rare, it is not possible for his uncle to tell anyone about it, let alone Dong-Min. And how can he be sure that his uncle would give the cure to us?" Eun Kyung said with a serious expression after thinking about it,
"You're right, I'm also confused about it," Cho Byeol's father said. He had sharp eyes, wide shoulders, straight long white hair extending to his waist, dark brown eyes, and was wearing white robes. He was handsome and there was some pride in his eyes.
"So, what will you do now?" Eun Kyung said, looking at the man in front of her
"Even though I think something is wrong, we don't have any other choice, or we might not get a chance like this, I can't see my daughter in this condition," Cho Byeol's father said.
"You're right, she's too kind. Even though she looks happy, I know how sad I feel whenever I see her cry alone, she doesn't want us to worry about her," Eun Kyung said with sadness on her face while leaning in the man's embrace.
"But the sect master has given me a mission, and I need to move tonight. The mission is very important and can affect our clan, I need to go, no matter what. There are also other clan elders coming with me. So, I won't be here when Dong Min's uncle comes. I'll send an invitation letter to Dong-Min's uncle. You'll be the only one receiving him. But remember, no matter what, you must get the cure." Cho Byeol's father said while looking at the woman in his arms.
"Oh, the clan has finally decided. And don't worry, I will definitely get the cure. I can't see my daughter in this condition." Eun Kyung said.
"Very well, then I won't worry anymore," Cho Byeol's father said.
…..
It was already morning, the sun was rising on the horizon. Cho Byeol was sitting on the ground outside of her house and was waiting for someone, it was Dong-Min. Eun Kyung walked out of the house, and when she saw Cho Byeol waiting, she said,
"What, you can't even sit patiently now, is Dong-Min that important to you, or is it that you want to speak with him so much that you can't even wait anymore?" Eun Kyung couldn't help but tease Cho Byeol when she saw Cho Byeol waiting for Dong-Min and was smiling with her right hand on her mouth.
"Huh.., wha.., what are you saying, why would I wait for him because I want to speak with him, I can do that some other time as well. I'm waiting for him because he's bringing his uncle, who has a method to heal me completely." Cho Byeol was embarrassed when she heard Eun Kyung, her face turned red and said angrily.
"Yeah, yeah, I know," Eun Kyung chuckled with her right hand on her face. She was amused when she saw Cho Byeol so angry, Eun Kyung looked like she had accomplished her daily mission.
"And anyway, he is just my good friend and nothing more," Cho Byeol wasn't lying, she really did consider Dong-Min her good friend and nothing more.
"Oh, it seems like they have arrived," Eun Kyung suddenly said. Her expression turned calm and was not smiling like before.
"Really, I thought it was going to take them forever," Cho Byeol said excitedly.
"Wait, there seems to be something wrong
here? " Eun Kyung's expression turned serious all of a sudden.
"What? Mom," Cho Byeol turned nervous when she heard Eun Kyung.
"The ones who came aren't just Dong-Min and his uncle, but there are two more men with them," Eun Kyung said, feeling that something was wrong. She had expected that only Dong-Min and his uncle would come, she hadn't expected two more people to come with them.
"What do you mean by that, Dong-Min hadn't said that there would be others with him and his uncle?" Cho Byeol was confused, just like Eun Kyung, she also didn't understand the reason.
…..
Outside of the small space that Cho Byeol and Eun Kyung were in, four men stood, one of them was Dong-Min, and the other three were his uncle and two other men.
"What do you think, elder? Will they allow us inside the small space?" One of the two men asked the man standing at the front, Dong-Min's uncle.
He had wrinkles on his face, a black beard that extended to his chest, his muscles were burly, his eyes were black, and he had a profound aura around him.
"Why wouldn't they? After all, they need a method to heal Cho Byeol's aperture, and I happen to have one. So, they don't have any other choice. They would surely allow us inside, as for the two of you, don't worry, after all, I need someone to protect me as well." Dong-Min's uncle said confidently, as if he had already seen what was going to happen. He smiled and there was some sinisterness in his eyes, which could not be seen.
When Dong-Min saw his uncle, he smiled, and he also had some fear on his face. It looked like he feared his uncle very much.
"Elder, may I know the reason why there are two more people with you and Dong-Min? Dong-Min's uncle suddenly heard Eun Kyung's voice in his mind, it was voice transmission.
"Well, I can't come alone in the territory of Zhang Clan, especially when this place happens to be a small space," Dong-Min's uncle said with a calm expression. Not worrying at all about Eun Kyung's question.
When Eun Kyung heard this, her expression changed. From his tone, it looked like he wanted to enter the small space with all four of them.
