Sun Zhou Yi also wanted to teach the other heroes his technique. But he could not teach them his technique as this technique did not belong to him, but to his Master. The day before Heero accepted him as a disciple, Heero told him to not share everything taught by his Master except for his descendants.
Sun Zhou Yi promised and even vowed that he would not spread his Master's teaching. So he could not share Mystical Eyes with others even though he knew it was for their missions.
He shook his head as he replied calmly, "I am sorry, but I can't. The technique does not belong to me but to my Master. Without his consent, I can't teach it to you guys,"
Sun Zhou Yi's refusal was polite and he even bowed his head, showing he was truly guilty that he could not help. Kang Seo Yeon, Bai Xin Yue, and Yang Mushen made a weird face at this scene. Wu Jiang Shan and Musashi Naizen still had their expressionless look while Huo Liang Xun closed his eyes.
Mushin Rishid and Chongkun gleamed at Sun Zhou Yi's attitude. With a regretful look on his face, Mushin Rishid spoke in a regretful tone, "What a pity, if you can teach us, we can clear the dungeon faster and the city will be safe."
"Yeah, what a pity indeed. I am just afraid what if there's another gate with a similar dungeon. If... these monsters pass through another gate into the wild, humanity will truly face a crisis as even an Emperor Class Hero can't kill it," Chongkun played along.
Both people could see that the newly risen hero was kind-hearted and both wanted to exploit this weakness to learn a new technique. Based on the description Sun Zhou Yi told them, the technique seemed to be amazing so they wanted to learn it.
Park Yong Gi stayed silent for a moment as he looked at Sun Zhou Yi. In fact not only Chongkun and Mushin Rishid who looked at Sun Zhou Yi's kind-hearted nature, everyone in the room saw it.
As he stayed silent for a moment to make up his mind, Park Yong Gi spoke in a condemning tone which was surprised everyone, "Sun Zhou Yi! Do you know the consequence of your decision today? You and your master will be the sinner of humanity for the rest of your life?"
"Just like Chongkun said, if there's another gate, then humanity will face a crisis that is bigger than Level 10 Calamity. When that time comes, many lives will fall. Meanwhile, YOU! You have a way to solve the crisis but because of your selfishness, many people will die in war!"
"So Sun Zhou Yi…"
Bam!
Before Park Yong Gi could finish his words, someone slammed the table. Musashi Naizen slammed his sword on the table and his face was contorted in anger as he glared at Park Yong Gi, "PARK YONG GI! Do you know what you are doing!!??"
Everyone was shocked by Musashi Naizen's action who suddenly burst out. The man who always had expressionless look on his face was now angry.
Sun Zhou Yi was the one who was shocked the most. Why did he suddenly angry? Was it for him? Indeed, at first, he felt guilty for not being able to teach others Mystical Eyes, but as the talk continued, he felt uncomfortable.
It was not an uncomfortable feeling for the guilty, he felt uncomfortable as Mushin Rishid and Chongkun cornered him. He still did not know why until Park Yong Gi condemned him and his Master.
He was angry as he realized something, these three tried to exploit his guilt to make him guiltier. Why did they do this? It was only to learn his technique. The thing that made Sun Zhou Yi angrier was Park Yong Gi dragged his Master into this mess.
But Musashi Naizen acted before his fury could burst out. As Emperor Class, Rank - 7 raised his voice, the atmosphere turned more intense and Park Yong Gi instantly shut his mouth.
Park Yong Gi sat back on his seat with a bone-chilling gaze directed towards him. Getting no response from Park Yong Gi, Musashi Naizen opened his mouth again, this time he spoke with a calmer tone, "Executive Park Yong Gi, do you know what you are doing, right?"
Park Yong Gi gulped in nervousness under the bone-chilling gaze directed toward him. If the owner's gaze was Gold Class Hero, he might not waver. But this person was Emperor Class, a direct descendant of the Musashi Clan.
Putting Musashi Naizen's background asides, he was in the wrong. He touched the taboo of the Hero League, trying to force Sun Zhou Yi to share his technique. He should not be doing that, it was taboo.
'I was blinded by my greed,' thought Park Yong Gi as he stayed silent.
"I did not stop you at first as it was his right whether he wanted to share his technique or not, but you were forcing him. You tried to exploit his weakness for your own selfishness. You…" Here, Musashi Naizen's words were cut off by Mushin Rishid.
"How can you say that, Naizen! Executive Park was thinking for us, for humanity. He merely fulfilled his duty as an executive. How can you accuse him like that?"
"Heh heh heh," Huo Liang Xun let out a chuckle that attracted the duo's intention, "Why don't you also contribute to humanity as well? I heard Old Man Adrian has a unique Martial Arts, how about sharing it with us? I am interested to learn that old man's Martial Arts."
"If you share it, I can get stronger. There will be many people who will benefit from it as well, why don't you contribute to humanity and share those martial arts with the hero league?" Huo Liang Xun smirked at the duo.
Old Man Adrian in Huo Liang Xun's mouth was Legendary Rankers - Rank 15. He was known for his unique martial arts and Mushin Rishid was one of the old man's disciples.
"I…"
"Shut the fuck up! If you want to come back alive, don't you ever dare to open your mouth onwards!" Musashi Naizen stopped the useless banter as his gaze direction toward Mushin Rishid and you.
The duo stiffened and immediately lowered their heads. They did not dare to meet Musashi Naizen's eyes.
After that, Musashi Naizen looked back at the silent Park Yong Gi. Still not receiving no response, Musashi Naizen stood from his seat.
"Leave this place! Leave Ence Fort! You're no longer needed here! I will report your behavior to HQ!" After saying that Musashi Naizen turned toward others and spoke, "The meeting is over, and gather at the gate in half an hour. I have a plan for how we will take care of the dungeon!"
Then, Musashi Naizen's gaze stopped at Sun Zhou Yi for a moment. It seemed that he wanted to say something, but only shook his head and left the meeting room.
Huo Liang Xun and Wu Jiang Shan followed after Musashi Naizen as the room fell into a strange silence. Bai Xin Yue stood up and approached Sun Zhou Yi, "I want to talk, can we have a private chat?"
Sun Zhou Yi nodded his head and left the room with Bai Xin Yue. Kang Seo Yeon cast a strange glance at these two for a moment before she also left the room.
*** ***
Heero did not know that someone else coveted his technique. He was waiting for Sun Zhou Yi to call him back, but in vain, his first disciple did not call him back.
He came back and helped his wife at the noodle shop as a stream of customers kept coming. Heero could only take a break when the needle stopped at ten. The fully packed shop returned to its normal flow as the leftover bowls were left behind on the table.
He moved up to clean the table and Han Ying also came out of the kitchen to help. Looking at the tired figure, Heero let out a sigh and approached her.
"You can take a break, let me do the cleaning," said Heero as he tried to take the bowl from Han Ying's hand. However, the latter avoided his hand and shook her head, "It's okay, you also must be tired. Moreover, four hands are faster than two hands."
A slight smile formed on Han Ying's lips as she replied but fatigue could be seen from her eyes. Han Ying did not plan to hire people to help her despite the increased number of customers. He already proposed it a few times, but that idea was rejected by Han Ying.
Heero had already realized why Han Ying was doing this. She was trying to shake her anxiety over her daughter by working harder. Waking up earlier than everyone, trying to take everything by herself, but all of it seemed not working as worried still could be seen from her face.
'It seems I have to visit the inner region to check her ex-husband and her daughter…' thought Heero as he worried about Han Ying's condition, if this continued, she might get sick, not only physically but mentally.
"Six hands are better than four hands!" Suddenly, another figure came out of the kitchen. Of course, this figure was Hong Yu. She said it in a loud voice as she maintained her sweet smile.
Then, the three people worked together to clean up. Heero however noticed something strange with Han Ying. Her walking posture seemed to be unstable, it was as if she was going to fall anytime as her body swayed to left and right.
Sure enough, just as Han Ying took three steps, her body swayed and the bowl in her hand fell.
Ping!
The bowl fell, but Heero caught Han Ying before she fell and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"
'Again, asking a stupid question. Of course, she is not okay…'
"Bring my sister upstairs!" Hong Yu said worriedly as she approached Heero and Han Ying.
Han Ying looked pale and her hand was rubbing her forehead as she shook her head. It was clear she had a headache and her body was weak, but she seemed did not to want to take a rest.
But the weak Han Ying could not revolt against the strong Heero. Heero hugged Han Ying's shoulder from the side and intended to bring her upstairs.
Dingling! Dingling! Dingling!
Just as heero was about to bring her upstairs the door of the restaurant opened. It was a sign of a customer entering the noodles shop. Hong Yi turned around and wanted to tell the customer that the noodles shop will be closed earlier.
"Sorry, we are…" but she was stopped halfway when she saw the customer.
"Weird Uncle! Take your hand away from My Mom!" a childish voice resounded from the door.
