Pyo-wol was awakened by a loud noise early in the morning.
When he opened the window, he saw Jin Siwoo welcoming guests.
“Welcome. Thank you for coming all the way here.”
“I heard that the Jin family is in trouble so how can I just watch? Even though I moved away a long time ago, in the end, I’m also a Jin.”’
“Don’t worry, we’re here.”
“How dare the Snow Sword Manor aim for our Jin family.”
Those who visited Jin’s house either expressed their support towards Jin Siwoo or showed their anger towards the Snow Sword Manor.
They were all from the branch side of the Jin family. After living scattered all over the world, they came running after hearing rumors that the Jin family was in danger.
When the branch side arrived, the atmosphere of the Jin main family, which had been stagnant, revived a little.
The number of warriors belonging to the Jin family branch was about 300, far more than the Jin main family residing in Tianzhongshan.
In an instant, more than 500 people crowded into the Jin manor.
The faces of the people from the Jin family’s main house lit up.
“I guess it’s worth trying now.”
“Whoa! Welcome back!”
Although they separated a long time ago, they still welcomed each other with open arms. After all, they were still blood relatives sharing the same surname.
Jin Siwoo also had a slightly relieved expression on his face as he welcomed the arrival of the Jin branch family.
Since his grandfather, Jin Wol-myeong, was the one who had been heavily supporting the Jin manor alone, the emotional burden he felt was indescribable.
A faint smile appeared on his lips. He thought that the burden in his heart was a little relieved now.
‘So the Jin family still hasn’t lost its people.’
There were also those who Jin Siwoo personally asked for help. He met them in Jianghu and shared a deep friendship.
Jin Siwoo had no doubt that they would definitely come. If they joined in, he could breathe a little more comfortably.
Jin Siwoo’s gaze suddenly headed to the place where Jin Geum-woo lived.
Pyo-wol was staying there.
Pyo-wol, who opened the window and was looking his way, met his gaze.
Jin Siwoo slightly lowered his head and pretended not to see him.
Pyo-wol was someone who would look at Jin Siwoo with an indifferent gaze.
Jin Siwoo was honestly confused.
He accepted Pyo-wol’s presence because he was a friend of Jin Geum-woo, but he couldn’t read his intentions at all.
Jin Geum-woo said that Pyo-wol was a friend worth having.
However, Jin Siwoo has not yet found the reason why Jin Geum-woo said that. He just accepted him because Pyo-wol was a friend that his brother deeply wanted to be with.
“Hoo!”
Thinking of his older brother, Jin Siwoo sighed once more.
He had complicated feelings towards his brother. Half of him longs for him while the other half resents him.
A voice coming from one of his relatives snapped him out of his reverie.
“What should we do now?”
“Just give me orders, young leader!”
Jin Siwoo was well-aware of his position.
Now that Jin Geum-woo is dead, he became the young leader or successor of the Jin family. As the young leader, he is responsible for dealing with the family’s major affairs.
He couldn’t even afford to be leisurely immersed in his emotions.
“Ah, yes! You two follow me, while the others go over there. The other disciples will guide you on what to do.”
Jin Siwoo diligently moved with the branch family.
It was also his job to put them in the right places.
After working all day long, he didn’t even have time to eat. He was busy with his relatives until late at night, discussing countermeasures.
The day passed so quickly, and Jin Siwoo almost reached the point of exhaustion.
“Hoo!”
Jin Siwoo sighed and looked up at the sky.
The stars spread out dazzlingly like the sea in the night sky, but he did not even have enough time to enjoy it.
He might have only taken a glance at the sky, but he strangely couldn’t take his eyes off it.
“Hahaha! And then?”
Then a girl’s laughter reached his ears.
He turned around casually and then saw a girl sitting next to a guy, smiling.
The girl was Jin Seol-ah, his younger sister.
Jin Seol-ah had stopped smiling ever since Jin Geum-woo died.
It had been a long time since he had seen her smile.
“Hm?”
Jin Siwoo shifted his gaze to the person making his younger sister laugh.
The moment his eyes confirmed the identity of the other person, he became surprised.
It was Pyo-wol who was talking to Jin Seol-ah.
Pyo-wol was the type of person who would say a word every once in a while. However, Jin Seol-ah continuously smiles at every word Pyo-wol says.
Jin Siwoo unknowingly headed to where the two were.
“Ah, brother!”
Jin Seol-ah became delighted when she saw Jin Siwoo.
“What are you talking about for you to laugh so much?”
“Stories about that idiot.”
“Brother Geum-woo?”
“Yes!”
Jin Seol-ah nodded.
Only then did Jin Siwoo remember that he hadn’t heard anything about Jin Geum-woo from Pyo-wol.
“Can I hear your story too?”
He cautiously asked Pyo-wol to tell him his story together with Jin Geum-woo once more.
Pyo-wol nodded his head without a hint of disapproval.
Pyo-wol repeated his story last night, with both siblings listening to him.
* * *
“Brother, did you sleep well?”
After their conversation last night, Jin Siwoo became more friendly towards Pyo-wol.
“Yes!”
Pyo-wol also treated Jin Siwoo without hesitation.
They became close enough to talk comfortably even without Jin Geum-woo as their medium. Perhaps that’s also the reason why Jin Siwoo’s expression looked a little brighter.
Jin Siwoo also talked a lot last night.
Thanks to this, Pyo-wol also learned more about the Jin family’s circumstances.
Not long after Jin Geum-woo lost his life, Jin Wol-myeong suddenly collapsed. They haven’t found the reason why nor any cure for his state.
His condition deteriorated day by day, and up to now, he remained in vegetative state.
Jin Wol-myeong’s condition was a situation like no other.
When Jin Wol-myeong, the main support of Jin manor, collapsed, the Jin family was shaken.
For that reason, Jin Siwoo couldn’t find the time to investigate Jin Geum-woo’s death, since he had no choice but to concentrate on managing and defending the Jin family.”
Pyo-wol asked,
“How about the doctor?”
“He couldn’t find anything. He is a well-known doctor in the area, but he said he had never seen such a case.”
“So what are you going to do?”
“To be honest, there is no way right now.”
Jin Siwoo sighed.
He had already invited several doctors, but they all shook their heads.
