Monk in imperial capital

NovelToon
While crowds gathered at the door of the City East District official, the respendantly dressed man and his wife pushed a bag into the hands of the kind-hearted old monk.
That monk was a middle aged man, had wrinkles on his face, and hands held together.
A crowd of people had gathered, joining in the fun, as they gossipped and pointed at the monk, who was the famous Great Master Woo-shik , said to know both the past and the future.
He’d only arrived in the capital a few days prior and was already heralded for often helping the wealthy with prayers and exorcisms, which appeared to be extremely effective.
After Great Master Woo-shik received the bag, he excused himself from everyone and walked away alone, then turned away from the busy street into a dark and narrow alleyway where there was a small house.
He walked up to the door and knocked, and a child soon opened the door and bade him to enter.
After Woo-shik entered the courtyard, the small disciple reported..
Disciple of wooshik
Disciple of wooshik
Master...
Disciple of wooshik
Disciple of wooshik
You have guest today.
Disciple of wooshik
Disciple of wooshik
To be precise, guests.
Monk Woo-shik
Monk Woo-shik
Guests??
Woo-shik looked over and saw the silhouette of a boy emerge from the shadows. The servant boy in purple stepped aside. As light shone through, the silhouette soon revealed its features.
This was a fresh young boy, about the same age as the servant boy in purple .
He was an unmatched beauty and gorgeous young boy with very measured features. His each step was calculated. He was young yet seemed mature as a experienced warrior.
He smiled slightly at Woo-shik as if facing a friend of many years, a pair of slightly raised eyes bright and moist, yet they inexplicably gave a sense that no one could see through him.

Monk Woo-shik
This young Master is…?
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Although Great Master doesn’t know me, I’ve long heard of Great Master’s famous deeds.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Today, I’ve come to ask Great Master about my birthdate characters. ( bows )
Monk Woo-shik
Monk Woo-shik
Then, child , please write your birthdate characters. ( smiled after a while )
Jungkook picked up the brush and began writing.
When he lifted the brush, Woo-shik was also quietly observing him. Looking at this young boy with such excellent mannerisms, he must be some wealthy family’s young master.
However, while he still couldn’t quite ascertain his intentions, he could see that there was a bit of an evil aura in JungKook's expression.
Jungkook pushed the finished paper with his birthdate characters towards Woo-shik .
Wooshik spread the paper, lifted his prayer beads from his neck without a word. After an hour, his brows gradually furrowed.
Monk Woo-shik
Monk Woo-shik
Master's ’ future is ominous. I’m afraid – I’m afraid you bear the sign of the cursed star. ( says with a worried tone )
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Cursed star?? ( gasped )
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Great Master sees clearly, I am indeed born under the cursed star. My mother died like this in front of my eyes, my elder brother is missing, and there’s no end to strange happenings in my household. ( says while looking down sadly )
Monk Woo-shik
Monk Woo-shik
Though I’ve said this, Master doesn’t need to worry, this old monk has a way to rewrite your fate.
Monk Woo-shik
Monk Woo-shik
Child, take heart, this old monk will visit your household in a few days and discuss it with your relatives. ( assured )
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Why would Great Master help me?
Monk Woo-shik
Monk Woo-shik
Amitabha. Compassion is the responsibility of all Buddhist monks. ( clasped his hands )
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Great Master is truly kind, not all monks are like Great Master.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
For instance, I have heard stories that a monk from Sae-jwan , under the banner of an eminent monk, has been swindling others, and has amassed quite the sum. ( says with a cunning smile )
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Hearing ‘Sae-jwan ’, Woo-shik's two hands trembled slightly.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
That monk is a fox; he was adopted by a wandering monk as a child, and this wandering monk was the one who taught him his tricks.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
The wandering monk used him to make money at every turn but after the monk learned all those tricks and grew up, he personally killed the wandering monk and told everyone his master passed away.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
He then inherited the wandering monk’s possessions and continued to be a great master of deception. ( says as if accusing )
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
By the way, that monk from Sae-jwan , his dharma name is exactly the same as Great Master’s. I don’t know if you’ve heard this story, Woo-shik ?
Wooshik was as stiff as wood, feeling cold sweat roll down his back. He’d never told these secrets to anyone, and it happened so many years ago.
This boy hadn’t even been born then, so why was he so clear on those past events? He raised his head and saw that the boy opposite to him had a playful smile on his face. Where did all his sadness go?
Monk Woo-shik
Monk Woo-shik
Duh.. th.. this mm...monk… I-i.. I..
Monk Woo-shik
Monk Woo-shik
have never hha... heard this story.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Many things occur in the world, Great Master wouldn’t necessarily have heard it all. I’ve heard about some interesting events and can tell Great Master about them.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
For example, the young boy who let us in earlier reminds me that in the story, that monk was once swindling a household that had a daughter who was very beautiful.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
The young miss got pregnant, and yet, wouldn’t reveal the identity of the child’s father even at the risk of death, though in the end she passed away due to complications in childbirth.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Her family wanted to discard the weak infant, but the hypocritically compassionate monk proposed to accept the child as a disciple; the young miss’s family was naturally happy, but didn’t know that the child was actually the monk’s blood-related son. ( looks at Woo-shik seriously )
After hearing this, Woo-shik held onto his calm expression by a thread. He was already soaked in cold sweat, and felt anxious all over.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
After the infant was given to the monk, because his weak health required many expensive herbs, the monk was helpless and could only intensify his money-making schemes.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
However, Sae-jwan is only big, thus he came to the prosperous imperial capital. The capital has many wealthy people, and after he made a name for himself and made a lot of money, he could take his son to see a physician.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Now.. now..
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Great master Woo-shik..
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
What
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
do you
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
think of this
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
story? ( asks bit seriously )
Monk Woo-shik
Monk Woo-shik
Who.. who.. who are you? ( stutters out )
Facing the young boy in front of him, he couldn’t see through him at all, but thought that he had been ordered by some higher authority to see through him.
Otherwise, for a completely unfamiliar stranger to speak of these secrets that he had long buried in his heart to never see the light of day would be too shocking!
For the first time in his life, Woo-shik , who played with people in the palm of his hand, felt that things were out of his control.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Wooshik you currently have two choices: one, kill me, and your secret won’t spread further; or two, listen to my orders, and I’ll protect this secret for you. ( says as he sits with commanding aura )
Monk Woo-shik
Monk Woo-shik
How do you know these things? Who are you? What do you want? Money? Are you a stalker? ( gritts his teeth and asks )
Woo-shik held himself stiffly, the thin thread of hatred dissipated into nothing in an instant as he thought of his bedridden son.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Woo-shik , you want to save your son? ( asks sternly )
He had been a fake monk for all these years, and never thought he would have a son at his old age. He definitely wanted to save his son. The physician said the child had birth defects that if not treated with a rare medicine, the body would be very frail.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
If you follow my orders, I guarantee that you won’t have to worry about food or clothing for a lifetime, your son will receive treatment from the best physicians, and you also won’t have to worry about paying for the rare medicine. ( says as he keeps his one leg on other)
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
You will be revered by thousands, have wealth beyond measure and long-term safety.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
You will become the most eminent monk, you will become the State Preceptor.
Monk Woo-shik
Monk Woo-shik
Master , you’re taking this monk for a joke. I don’t know what young master really came for, but I am only an ordinary monk, not worthy of the title of eminent monk, and am helpless in many things.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Know the past, know the future? ( smiled a little and looked at him )
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Those are all in the past, it seems like I still need to prove something to you.
Monk Woo-shik
Monk Woo-shik
Maybe that can help.. because i definitely don't trust you now.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Tonight, ‘mischievous ghosts’ will strike at the Prefectural Magistrate’s manor.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Tomorrow morning, they will definitely invite you to visit.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
It doesn’t matter whether you believe me or not. If you want to save your son, then do as I say.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Ten days later is the longevity birthday celebration of Old Madame of Minister Jeon's manor.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
I want you to go there a day before and pray for her good fortune, and coincidentally find that there are evil spirits present because the manor's Second Young Miss is bearing the sign of the cursed star.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Great Master is very skilled, there’s no need for me to say more. ( smiled thinly )
Monk Woo-shik
Monk Woo-shik
How are you so sure I will come on that day?
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Didn’t I say earlier? know the past....know the future.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Oh, I forgot to say earlier...
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
My name is Jeon Jungkook.. second legitimate son of Jeon household.
.
.
The next day...
It was Jungkook's outing today. After rejecting his friends for more than a hundred times, finally Jungkook had agreed to their invitation of going around in the market. All these while he had only two friends, who were Jung Hoseok and his friend Kibum. Jungkook had always admired Hoseok for his straightforwardness and since the lantern festival, they both have been getting closer and closer. Hoseok is a really cheerful and positive person and Jungkook liked how Hoseok treated him. In all these days, they grew so close that they developed a brotherly bond. Soon Hoseok had introduced Jungkook to Kibum and usually Kibum accompanied them whenever they met. Jungkook knew that Xia Yan has been keeping an eye on him. So he was being ware of the situation and avoiding getting close to people and friends whom Xia yan can use as a trap or weakness for him. In his past life, this was his biggest mistake, letting others know his weakness. His son, his mother, his brother, emotions and relations.. these all had helped his foes to drag him to such a hell. But this time, he won't repeat the same mistake.
Soon he was ready to leave for the outing and get together of their friends today. Hoseok came on the decided time and escorted Jungkook away with him to the lavish market place for the nobles. Kibum was also with them. Even though Jungkook was the maknae and all of the associates adored and loved him, his bond with hoseok was the best and closest. He was the first with whom Jungkook had an interaction and a friendship and Hoseok's kind, humble, down to earth, thankful and generous attitude always made Jungkook treat him like an elder brother. And Hoseok always proved to it, because he always cared and loved Jungkook as if he was his son. The capital's market was always a sight to behold. Luxurious shops, huge buildings, bustling with life market, glorious decors, delicious smell of relishes, sights of flowers, some where some jewels and ringing high pitched voices of human always kept the life of the market. These days the capital was flourishing rapidly as the business in Great kwang and spread beyond the seas. New traders invaded the market with foreign items and many new shops of variety opened every now and then.
Jungkook and his friends were all quite beautiful and attractive but none of them were interested in jewels, decors, ornaments and perfumes even after being female ores. Jungkook never used any ornament or adornment nor did Hoseok. Hoseok was absolutely like a stoic sharp tongue Young Master. Although Jungkook looked gorgeous and people couldn't even imagine how insanely beautiful he would be with ornaments and makeup, he never used them. Also none of them was interested in these. Jungkook read military formation books and war techniques, Hoseok had a military background and Kibum didn't like girly things. So instead of visiting jewelery or cosmetic and stationary shops, they went to weapons, warfare and iron instruments shops.
When the carriage stopped, Ki-bum was the first to jump down, followed by Jungkook and the others. They saw a pagoda of stone, with a plaque reading "Huigwi-jaemubu" which means rare treasury.
As the group entered the building, a pretty maidservant led them in.
The first floor had precious jewelry with intricate designs and eye catchy features, and the second floor has precious weapons which could only he be handled by learnt ones.
The two, Hoseok and Jungkook arrived on the second floor while kibum stopped down. there were many high grade weapons. Some were polished to the point that they shined radiantly while some showcased many years of history, that as soon as one entered they would be blinded by the magnificence.
Though Jungkook was nearly excited , he looked around, spotting a Fire Cloud Moon Shield that looked particularly suited to Namjoon .
If Namjoon had such armour, he would be much safer on the battlefield. However, when Jungkook looked at the price marked below, he instantly had a headache.
He continued onwards, and his eye was drawn towards a blue thing that turned out to be an exquisitely made bracelet. The blue light emitted was beautiful.
When Jungkook placed it on his wrist, the bracelet made his white hands look even more delicate.
"This is the Moon Bracelet, it’s used for… Young Master! eeeekkk!", the maid squeaked. Before she could get her words out, she saw Jungkook skillfully press on the protruding flower pattern while aiming at her.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
I won't press it. Sorry for scaring you.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
How many needles hold in it?
"Nine needles in it... all coated with deadly poison."
However, Jungkook shook his head and put the bracelet back. He knew this was the precious blood moon bracelet. Something that not anybody can afford and handle. As exquisite and brilliant this weapon was by looks and function, so high and remarkable was its price. And Jungkook returned from he rural village with only a pile of books. And the little money he had, he had planned to use it differently. So there was no way he could by this expensive bracelet. But it did fancy Jungkook a lot.
After looking around for a while more, they headed downstairs to find the others and soon planned to leave.
As soon they went down, the maid quickly looked around and stepped towards a pillar in the wall. A small hidden door opened, leading to an elegant side room. Being so close, it was easy to hear the conversations from the other room clearly. The maid quickly bowed and kneeled infront of the man standing near the window of that room.
"What did he take fancy in?", the young man asked in his grave tone while looking outside
"Young master Jeon picked out this Moon Bracelet". ( The maid presented the tray )
"Pack it. Now."
The young man ordered and sat before the window. Soft rain caught the capital in a haze, yet it couldn’t obstruct people’s sight. A moment later, he could clearly see JungKook's group boarded a carriage. His eyes were stuck on the smiling Jungkook among the others. The smile suited him was what the man thought. The way Jungkook smiled and talked to the other guy, the man here observed it silentlt. And then when he saw them getting into the carriage and leaving, he too slowly left.
.
.
Time passed rapidly and soon ten days had gone by . During this time, the Jeon manor was extremely tranquil, as if the past events had used up all of the bad luck, and after the crisis, everything had gradually stabilised. The only issue was that all those mishaps had cost the Jeons a fortune and now the finances were tight. Jeon lady, Xia Yan, who looked after the whole residence suggested cutting down on daily expenses. Furthermore, in order to pacify the servants, she also cut down the monthly allowance of a few Young master's and misses’ by more than half. Jeon Sui and Jeon Dong-ah naturally did not care about the monthly allowance as they often received an extra allowance from Jung-hoon on a regular basis. However, Jungkook did not have anyone to give him extra, moreover, he usually had to reward the servants and old female servants in his courtyard from his own pocket. Therefore, he had a hard life. The rain was continuous and did not stop.
JungKook's residence had been a deserted courtyard that was hastily made available, and since the roof had not been repaired for many years the rainwater seeped through. The water flowed in through a hole in the roof and dripped into the house, making it extremely damp. Thus Nam seok found a metal pail from outside and put it under the hole so that temporarily, the rain water would not splatter everywhere. However, the bitter and chilly wind that also entered through the hole was enough to make one feel cold. Even the urged or begged anyone in the house to fix it or help it out, none ever agreed. While some made the excuse of being busy with old madame Jeon's birthday preparations, some directly and abruptly declined. And with sparse amount of savings, they could hardly afford the masons outside. But nothing of these now bothered Jungkook anymore. These all ignorant attitudes, ill-treat, dam care and hidden torture would perish into thin air after today. Today when the whole capital would enjoy the "trick or treat", things would fit back to place on its own.
In the main hall, Xia Yan was leading Jeon Sui in to talk to all the guests.Those who came today were all noble men and their wifes from the capital. Wealthy families, their sons and daughters, nobles and court persons. All those who had come had some status in the court.
Sui was wearing a piece of solid coloured clothing, with a winter white Chinese Rose design on it and a V-neck collar. It was matched with a winding, pale blue skirt with an indistinct moon woven with fine silk and gold threads on it.
Her whole attire made her look pure, elegant and stunning. She did not put on a veil today and it was unknown what miraculous medicine she had used, but her scars were much better.
There was a thick layer of cosmetic powder on her face which fully concealed the scars. At a glance, her skin was still considered fair and clear.
However, because the powder was too thick, although she still looked tender and beautiful, she did not appear as elegant and attractive as her previous self, a fairy.
Also everyone present there was aware of the lagern festival incident and the image of Jeon Sui that existed as the unstained precious white fairy was long gone. Now even though people didn't speak directly, but they still saw Jeon Sui and Xia Yan with different air. And regarding Jeon Dong-ah's scandalous act in the brothel, Xia Yan had gave her best to keep it hidden and not let it spread. But still those who got a little air of it, either avoided the topic or were sushed up with heavy gifts.
But what was different today was, the wait was not for Jeon Sui or Old madame Jeon. Usually when mentioned earlier, Jeon family was usually remarked by the Xia Yan as the intelligent virtuous wife and remarking beauty Jeon Sui. None of them were the highlights today. It was mere normal Boy, from the mountains, who had swindled the while capital by his charms, because everyone was enchanted, mesmerized and amazed by his charms. So the elders of the family who hadn't seen Jungkook yet, awaited him eagerly. This had poked Jeon Sui and Xia Yan to a very deep extent. Their ego felt like getting smashed with this.
And right at the moment when few people asked about him, Jungkook entered the hall...
All the people present looked at him flabbergasted.
They thought in their hearts, where was the Jeon family's neglected son who had grown up in the wild, improper country side....Look at that temperament, it was obviously of a noble person from the palace!
NovelToon
He was wearing a black hanbok that was loose. It had a v neck which reached uptil his chest. It was bordered with bright as blood red silk. It had faint patterns of lotus on the coat. The moles on his neck was clearly on display today. He had paired it with white dandelion printed pants and a red belt. The pant shinned with the lights beside showing off the quality of silk proudly. He looked heavenly gorgeous with his body shining like a moon in the night black hanbok. He gave tint of royalty with his looks. This made his exquisite and smooth skin appear extremely clear and radiant. He took step after step, walking in from outside the courtyard. Although he was relatively young, he was bewitchingly charming.
Sui and Dong-ah saw this scene and viciously gritted their teeth. They did not understand why Jungkook , who had grown up in the countryside residence, would purposely have a temperament that was beyond words. Jeon Sui would usually be the one people knew whenever the Jeon family was mentioned. However, ever since Jungkook had returned, one by one, Jungkook had become comparable to her. Even her beautiful face, which she took the most pride in, was no longer unparalleled.
As he thought about this, all the other people in the courtyard had already started conversing with this Jungkook who had suddenly appeared. Jungkook greeted them one by one, his smile was warm and although he could not hear what Jungkook said, he was actually having a pleasant conversation with all the people. Within a short span of time, he had gained a favourable impression in the hearts of many. Even the critical Minister’s wife, upon seeing Jungkook , was unable to maintain a cold face. It was very likely that if Sui did not grit her teeth till it broke into pieces, the hatred in her heart would obviously be incessant. After a while, two maids supported Old Madame out.Everyone present stood up to greet her. Old Jeon Madame smiled in reply. She looked very energetic and no longer showed the feebleness from the past few days she had spent on the sickbed. After seeing Jungkook , a profound expression appeared in Old Jeon Madame’s eyes. A maid then supported her to sit in the main seat of the hall. The guests present then began to give out their presents.
Jeon Dong-ah retrieved a wooden case that was as tall as a chair from behind him and passed it forward..The maid followed her orders and after opening the box, she carefully lifted a Buddha made of white jade out of the case. The Buddha was carved to look lifelike- the eyes and brows looked lively, as if it was alive. The most precious part was that it was carved from a whole square piece of white jade of the best quality. The Buddha carving was definitely not cheap. Everyone was astonished.
Dong-ah had all the methods at his fingertips when it came to currying favour with Old Jeon Madame. He specifically looked for nice things to say and so it followed that Old Jeon Madame always accepted the same pattern of behavior from him.
Jeon Sui ordered a servant girl to present a small box made from sandalwood. The box itself looked exquisite. Her maid together with Sui, opened it and presented the item from within. It was a huge roll of double-sided embroidery of hundreds of long life sewn onto it. Without talking about the embroidery, just based on the thought and effort, it was enough to shock everyone. The embroidery was exquisite, the colours of the pattern matched to look bright and yet elegant. The words were also meticulously embroidered, not a strand was loose, and the onlookers were unable to find a fault in the needlework at first glance. Jeon Sui squeaked in happiness and then turned towards Jungkook with a evil grin.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
My present cannot be presented yet . (said calmly )
Jeon Sui
Jeon Sui
Why? Can’t Hyung allow me to have a peek? ( pouts as a child )
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
I cannot. ( rejects firmly )
With Dong-ah and Sui's gems in front, everyone now had their gazes on Jungkook , wanting to see what good thing he could bring out.
Jeon Dong ah
Jeon Dong ah
It cannot be that hyung forgot to prepare a gift for halmeoni , that is why you are saying this right? ( smirked eviliy )
Jeon Dong ah
Jeon Dong ah
Last time at Maternal Grandfather’s house, wasn’t it also the same and it was my eomma who had to help and prepared one for you. ( mocked )
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
But speaking of which, why didn’t Maternal Grandfather and his family come today?
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
It can’t be because i forgot to prepare a visiting gift and so they won’t even attend halmeoni's longevity birthday celebration? ( raised an eyebrow and smirked )
Once the words were said, Dong-ah's face became stiff and Xia Yan was stupefied as well. Indeed, the Xia family, as in-laws, did not have anyone present at Old Jeon Madame’s longevity birthday celebration.
Even if they were unable to come, they should have sent a gift. However, from the beginning till now, there was no news from the Xia family.
But, what exactly happened?
The public’s suspicious gaze made Jung-hoon immediately feel like he lost face and he glared at Xia Yan.
Xia Yan ( Jungkook
Xia Yan ( Jungkook's step mother )
Your maternal grandmother has not been in good health recently and the household has been working hard, so they will not be attending the birthday celebration. ( covers up in one breath )
Old Jeon Madame looked at them without any change in expression. At this moment, a sharp voice was heard from the courtyard..
"Where did this demon come from!"
Everyone present looked to the side and saw a middle aged Taoist priest wearing a blue robe and a Taoist hat appear. He carried a cloth bundle on his shoulder and carried a peach wood stick in his hand and his expression was grim.
Xia Yan ( Jungkook
Xia Yan ( Jungkook's step mother )
Priest Bae-jun! ( excalimed as if shocked )
Xia Yan ( Jungkook
Xia Yan ( Jungkook's step mother )
I am sorry everyone..
Xia Yan ( Jungkook
Xia Yan ( Jungkook's step mother )
A few days ago, I invited this Taoist priest to do an exorcism for the jeon manor, I never thought he would arrive today.
Jeon Junghoon
Jeon Junghoon
We haven’t seen each other in a long time, holy sir.
Jeon Junghoon
Jeon Junghoon
I welcome holy priest to my Jeon manor again. ( bows respectfully )
Fake priest
Fake priest
Five years have passed... ( says in his deep voice )
Fake priest
Fake priest
If everything has been well with you, then this priest can put his mind at ease.
Fake priest
Fake priest
The reason why this priest came today was because lady Jeon asked me to bless this manor with good fortune.
Jungkook stood in the same spot, quietly looking at the priest who wore a grave expression. When he heard “five years ago”, his lips slightly curved into a smile with unknown meaning.
Fake priest
Fake priest
..... But when i entered, I saw a dark air around the manor. I am afraid that there is a demon creating chaos. ( says as he looks here and their while rolling his eyes )
Xia Yan ( Jungkook
Xia Yan ( Jungkook's step mother )
What! This is a bad omen then. .... my family... oh my! Then holy priest, help me chase it out. ( says rather impatiently)
He walked around the hall and his gaze slowly landed on Jungkook .
Fake priest
Fake priest
Although this priest does not know who this young boy is, this priest dares to confirm that the dark air in this manor is caused by this young boy. ( says angrily while pointing at Jungkook )
Xia Yan ( Jungkook
Xia Yan ( Jungkook's step mother )
Its not possible holy sir. He is my son, the second elder master of our manor. ( says emotionally )
Fake priest
Fake priest
Second elder son?.. ( smirked )
Fake priest
Fake priest
The one who was sent to the countryside residence five years ago, I did not expect him to be so old already. Then there is no mistake.
The people present had never heard this story as they thought in their hearts that it was no wonder Jung-hoon had called this Taoist priest someone from his past. He had already helped Jungkook calculate his fortune five years ago?
Jeon Sui
Jeon Sui
How can my elder brother be a demon?
Xia Yan ( Jungkook
Xia Yan ( Jungkook's step mother )
Does holy sir have any good solutions?
Fake priest
Fake priest
He is destined to curse both his mother and future partner, and all of his relatives in this lifetime. (points at Jungkook )
Fake priest
Fake priest
He carries with him the scourge of blood and death; it is in his nature because he was born cursed! ( says dangerously in a dramatic way )
Fake priest
Fake priest
The bane of others’ existence!
Once the words were said, everyone immediately went into a shock. Jungkook did not react despite all of the gazes upon him. He simply stood silently. After a short while, he laughed lightly.They unconsciously looked towards Jungkook and their gazes were filled with fear. Even if he was bewitching beautiful, at present, in everyone’s eyes he was no different from a demon.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Since Holy sir calculated my birthdate characters five years ago and then left.... . .after five years, you must have advanced and should probably have the ability to resolve this cursed fate. ( raised an eyebrow and asked )
Fake priest
Fake priest
Young mmm..master’s sign is too strong, therefore with this.. this priest’s skills, there is nothing to be.. be done. ( says with a tint of fear and shock )
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Your words make sense, but based on your words, I will curse my partner, my mother and all my relatives.However, during those five years that I’ve lived in the countryside residence, I did not bring misfortune to anyone.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Other than my own body being a bit weak, the people in the countryside residence seemed to be living better day by day.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
How do you explain this, Holy Sir?
Fake priest
Fake priest
That was because the people in the countryside residence were not at all related to you... they were all just some farmers and servants. ( says hoarsely showing confidence )
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
So it is like this.. ( says while caressing his chin and pretending to understand )
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
...that’s why so many things of a ridiculous nature have happened to the jeon manor after i retured from the countryside residence? ( asks with a tint of mockery )
Fake priest
Fake priest
Thats correct. Now you understood, Young master.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Then the one who would be cursed first should be my closest kin, isnt it holy sir?
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Based on the fact that I cursed my mother to death, the first one I would curse after returning to the manor should be my father.
Fake priest
Fake priest
Yes.. may be.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
So there are things that Holy sir does not know.How come…… it is actually Second Brother and Second Younger Sister? ( says while turning and looking at Xia Yan )
Fake priest
Fake priest
This…about that…the priest does not know either. ( stutters out )
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Eomma , do you think that I am cursed too? ( he asked loudly as he pointed all the attention to Xia Yan )
Xia Yan ( Jungkook
Xia Yan ( Jungkook's step mother )
Of course……. of course not..
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Father...... do you think that I was born under a cursed star too? ( asks to Jung-hoon directly )
