Little Demon Reversion to Youth

Chapter 186

Jian Yi answered indifferently, and Baekji said a word.

"Why is your answer like that? Why is your mouth sticking out? Do you not like reporting the facts? If you have something to say, say it."

Jian Yi, with a serious face, said, "I am not just a member of the martial force... I feel that you are ignoring my insight, which comes from wisdom and experience. I mastered the Four Books and Three Classics at the age of four... and after I set my mind on martial arts late... I am always grateful for the fact that I was inspired by the Young Lord..."

"..."

"...Anyway, as a talent who has taken on the important role of the sect's Western Divine General by displaying my inherent genius... looking back on the past, it is clearly revealed in the results that my advice has shone at every important moment... I would also like you to know that I was the first to notice the fact that the Young Lord had reincarnated this time..."

"..."

"...To ignore my opinion like that... I am just disappointed..."

He had asked for a word, and he was rambling on. Ah... he was truly a hopeless instigator of beatings.

I should just ignore him.

Suddenly, he remembered and asked, "When did I first hit you?"

"Ah... you have forgotten that too. I am truly disappointed. To think you have forgotten that day that had a great impact on my life... when the Young Lord said he was going to catch the Blood Cult Leader, didn't I desperately stop you? I was hit for that."

It was a strange feeling. It was something that had happened in the past... but I, in the present, could not remember it, and I, in the past, had no memory of it because it had not happened yet...

"I was so angry at that time that I resolved to learn martial arts for the first time in my life."

"...So you learned martial arts to get revenge on me."

"......?"

Jian Yi let out a dry cough.

"That can't be. Seeing you go alone to find a strong enemy... didn't I learn martial arts with the thought that I should at least be of some help? It's been a long time, so I don't remember either... ahem, when you get old, you should just die..."

Bu-reu-reu-reu.

Baekji barely managed to stop the fist that was about to shoot forward.

After calming down for a moment, he asked, "Have you found out about the Blood Demon's movements?"

He had also instructed him to find out in advance, as the Blood Demon would be coming.

"Yes. He is wandering around the entrance of the Heavenly Mountains."

He engraved the area where the Blood Demon appeared in his mind. Next...

"Find out in detail about the situation of the Bi family."

To send Yun-seol back... he had to know what kind of situation the Bi family was in.

"There is nothing to find out. The eldest grandson of the Bi family, the Demonic Advisor... you know, right? It is true that the Demonic Advisor is at a level where he can converse with me in terms of literary talent, but his martial arts do not follow..."

"Just the facts!"

"..."

Jian Yi paused for a moment and then said indifferently with a displeased expression, "The head of the Bi family, although he is still in his prime, is sickly and is on the verge of death. The eldest son, the Demonic Advisor, is serving in the military affairs department, and the eldest daughter, the 'Seven Phases Rakshasa', Bi Jun-hua, is taking care of the family affairs. The second daughter, Bi Jun-ye, is still young, so not much is known about her."

"The family power must have shrunk a lot."

"Because there has been the implicit support of the Young Lord in the meantime, there are quite a few trustworthy vassals. Nevertheless, the men of the Bi family are somewhat weak in the lower body, so descendants are on the precious side..."

"Stop!"

Baekji waved his hand to stop him.

"What is the relationship between the current family head and Bi Yun-seol?"

"He is her nephew."

"But he is sickly?"

"He used his 'yang' energy excessively to get a second son... I am only telling this to the Young Lord, but that brat, the Demonic Advisor, is also weak, and he even likes women, so Hongyeon is having a hard time... the Young Lord must pay special attention and make him restrain himself. It has been said since ancient times that it is difficult to find a general and a strategist. Although that brat, the Demonic Advisor, is still immature, he is at least usable..."

"Shut up!"

"..."

Jian Yi pouted and then added another word.

"I am not usually a person who talks this much... but since it has been a long time since I have seen the Young Lord, I just said a few words out of gladness. Please think of it as having a human touch."

Aigoo.

Baekji fled from Jian Yi's residence as if he were running away.

* * *

The Bi family was at the foot of a mountain, ten 'li' away from the main headquarters.

"Where on earth... have you come from?"

Bi Jun-hua frowned as soon as she saw Baekji. There was no way she would be happy about the existence that proved that her great-aunt's pure love was in vain.

But she could not treat the direct line of the Young Lord carelessly either.

Bi Jun-hua's gaze turned to the woman standing behind Baekji. The eyes of the woman, who was wearing a veil, were beautiful.

'Hmph! He's a playboy's bloodline, alright. To have found a woman in that short time.'

Bi Yun-seol was looking around at the somehow familiar atmosphere.

"I came because I have something to say."

"What is it?"

"I must meet the family head."

"Huh. It's ridiculous. Is the head of the Bi family someone you can meet just because you want to? If you have business, tell me."

"It's a very important story. It's related to your great-aunt."

Baekji suppressed his anger and said. After So Ya-hu's memory returned, he was suppressing the temper that was about to explode from time to time with Baekji's consciousness.

'The path of regeneration... is not easy.'

Baekji, after dreaming of a sea of blood and mountains of corpses, had a vague fear. It was terrible to imagine himself becoming a blood demon and running wild.

No matter how much they were Blood Sect members, if he killed them like beasts... what was the difference between that and the Blood Cult Leader?

After finding a part of So Ya-hu's memory, he was being particularly careful. If he were to run wild by any chance...

"Great-aunt? How dare you mention my great-aunt?"

As Bi Jun-hua glared, a serious energy flowed from Baekji's entire body.

"―!"

"Didn't I say I came to see the family head? Are you going to continue being rude?"

Although it was not many words, a heavy force was contained in his tone. Bi Jun-hua, without realizing it, took a step back.

At that moment, the chief steward who was next to her interfered.

"Young Master So. The family head is seriously ill..."

"I happen to have some good medicine. I must meet him to give it to him as well."

Although Baekji's way of speaking was different from before, for some reason, he could not be disobeyed.

Besides, medicine... his father was enduring, using all sorts of medicine.

Bi Jun-hua thought for a moment and then said to the chief steward, "Please send a message to the inner hall."

A moment later, a message came that he would meet him.

"You go too. There is something you need to know."

When Baekji spoke, Bi Jun-hua followed as if she were being pulled by something. Strangely, it felt as if she had to follow Baekji's words.

The inner hall of the Bi family was splendid.

The head of the Bi family was sitting in the master's seat of the inner hall. Although he was neatly dressed, his sickly complexion was evident. His gaze was also weak.

The head of the Bi family, who saw Baekji and Bi Yun-seol enter, weakly raised his hand and pointed to a seat.

"Please sit."

As Baekji and Bi Yun-seol sat in the guest seats on the left, Bi Jun-hua sat opposite. The servants placed a tea table for each of them.

The head of the Bi family, with a trembling hand, raised his teacup, took a sip, and then said, "I heard you are the grandson of the Young Lord. I couldn't believe it."

The head of the Bi family's voice was weak.

"Honestly, even at this moment, I cannot believe it. With what intention are you acting as the grandson of the Young Lord?"

Baekji nodded his head.

"Although your body is sickly, your mind is clear."

At Baekji's way of speaking, Bi Jun-hua's face turned fierce. A displeased light also appeared on the head of the Bi family's face.

At this, Baekji slowly stood up from his seat and then looked at the head of the Bi family and said, "Bi Il-seon! I am So Ya-hu!"

At Baekji's words, everyone was stunned.

A moment later, Bi Jun-hua stood up and shouted, "You brat, you are crazy! How dare you use the Young Lord's name carelessly..."

"Bi Jun-hua! Have you forgotten that I changed your diapers!"

Baekji's words echoed like thunder. A thrill as if a thunderbolt had struck their minds flowed through everyone.

Soon, Bi Jun-hua stammered, "Wh-what did you say..."

"I have returned through reincarnation. Do you not believe me?"

In Baekji's, no, So Ya-hu's memory, Bi Il-seon was a baby who had crawled, holding on to his aunt Bi Yun-seol's skirt.

Of course, he had no memory of Bi Jun-hua. Because she had been born much later.

But to get through this smoothly now... he had no choice.

From what he had heard from Jian Yi, he had occasionally visited the Bi family, and he had even sent gifts when the Demonic Advisor, Bi Wa-yun, and Bi Jun-hua were born.

"The jade ring I gave you when you were born was made of 'South Sea Blue Spirit Jade'. Do you still have it?"

It was awkward to try to speak in an old tone.

Anyway...

A light of surprise flashed in the eyes of the head of the Bi family, Bi Il-seon. Although the face was unfamiliar, he realized that the 'qi' that emanated was familiar.

"Il-seon, are you going to continue hiding your energy?"

"......!"

At Baekji's words, Bi Il-seon was surprised and stood up.

At that, Bi Jun-hua was even more surprised.

Bi Il-seon flinched and then put on a serious face.

"You... who on earth are you? With what intention did you come!"

An energy gathered in Bi Il-seon's entire body. The sickly appearance from just before disappeared, and the appearance of a master who was knocking on the door of the 'flower realm' was revealed.

"Ah, father..."

Bi Jun-hua, who had not known that Bi Il-seon was falsely ill, was truly on the verge of fainting.

Baekji said with a face as stern as frost, "Did you not hear from the previous family head? That I would surely save Yun-seol. So did I not tell you not to set up a memorial tablet or anything?"

Jian Yi had said, talking about the loyalty of the Bi family, that when So Ya-hu's fake body had returned, the Bi family had built a shrine and had enshrined the memorial tablets of So Ya-hu and Bi Yun-seol side by side.

Bi Il-seon now looked at Baekji with a completely dazed expression.

Then he hastily took a couple of steps forward and prostrated himself.

"Young Lord!"

Bi Jun-hua was so out of her mind that she just stared.

"You have truly reincarnated."

Baekji was inwardly relieved. With his poor memory, he had passed the most difficult hurdle.

Baekji said to Yun-seol, "Take off your veil. They are your nephew and your niece."

Bi Yun-seol had been feeling strange at the familiar atmosphere from before. She had been bewildered because she clearly knew the place, but she could not remember.

When Baekji had revealed that he was So Ya-hu and had shouted...

'Then that wasn't a lie?'

Yun-seol, as if she were possessed, took off her veil.

"Aunt!"

"Great-aunt!"

Bi Il-seon and Bi Jun-hua shouted at the same time. They were surprised at Bi Yun-seol's face, which was exactly the same as the one hanging in the shrine.

At the same time, his late father's last words flashed through Bi Il-seon's mind.

―The Young Lord said to wait for forty-nine years. Then... Yun-seol will return... I am resentful that I will die without seeing that child again.

He had not believed it. How could a dead person come back to life?

He had just thought that the Young Lord, who had taken the body because he wanted to be near it, had made it up...

"Uh... I, I... who am I?"

At the sudden situation, Bi Yun-seol was also flustered.

Bi Il-seon stood up and said to Bi Jun-hua, "Hurry and go and bring the scroll."

Bi Jun-hua went out like the wind and came back. In her hand was a scroll.

On the scroll... the face of Baekji, who seemed to have aged a little, and the appearance of Bi Yun-seol were vividly depicted.

Seeing the scroll, Bi Jun-hua also thought that Baekji was the reincarnation of the Young Lord.

The eyes, nose, mouth, and the red scar... uh, there's no red scar?

The scar that had been there until a few days ago was gone. What happened...?

As Bi Jun-hua stared at the portrait on the scroll and her own forehead, Baekj smiled. At that, a red bloodstain rose on his forehead.

It was nothing for Baekji to create a bloodstain.

"Oh..."

Baek-il-seon, who clearly remembered the shape of the bloodstain, let out another exclamation of admiration.

He was convinced that Baekji had reincarnated.

"This is me... it's me?"

Bi Yun-seol said, stroking the picture on the scroll.

"It took forty-nine years to gather the scattered seven ethereal souls."

"Ah!"

Bi Jun-hua, with a sudden thought, could not control the sudden rush of emotion.

'...So he waited for forty-nine years to reincarnate his great-aunt... and he reincarnated to be with her again. Ah...'

A love that transcended death and defied the principles of heaven.

Bi Jun-hua could not control the tears that were welling up.

There was true love in this world...

"Without even knowing that... 'heuk, heuk'!"

As Bi Jun-hua suddenly burst into tears, everyone was flustered.

'Hey, what's with her?'
