Chapter 78 – 78.Shu Family (4)
Shu Lei.
Like Gyeong-hu, he appears briefly in Yeonhwa’s bond event, but since he only appears for a short time, he is an NPC character exclusively for the bond story who appears in the form of a common uncle NPC.
But what was in front of me now was a man with a figure befitting the image of the head of a family.
A face with moderate muscles and a slightly youthful and gentle look, rather than a muscular style.
In other words, he was a person who had more of a tactful feel.
And next to him was a woman who was probably his wife and Yeonhwa’s mother his.
Her hair was decorated with flowers, her hair was tied up in two loops at the back, and the hair on the sides was long.
Although this person did not appear in the relationship story, she had such beauty that one could immediately recognize her as Yeonhwa’s mother.
“Nice to meet you. My name is Yeonhwa’s mother, Shu Yeonhee.”
“Please sit down first.”
There was a long, square table in the room, and Shu Lei and Shu Yeonhee were sitting at the end, so I sat in the remaining seat.
Yeonhwa sat right next to me.
“…”
The moment he saw Yeonhwa sitting next to me, Shu Lei’s eyebrows twitched.
Looking at Shu Gangjin’s reaction, there was a high possibility that Shu Lei was also very resourceful.
“Father! Mother! This is Li Sihan I told you about!”
“Hello, my name is Sihan Lee. I am currently attending the Academy and am the head of a group called Fortis.”
First, I politely introduced myself.
Shu Lei said, placing his clasped hands on the desk.
“I’ve heard a lot from my daughter. He’s a man with great potential. He’ll be more profitable than joining the Flame Dragon Club… And he’s the man who broke the protection of our Shu family in one fell swoop. Very… He praised you a lot. .”
The clasped hands are trembling.
There seemed to be no sign of hiding the fact that he had no problem.
At that time, Shu Yeon-hee gently placed her hand on Shu Lei’s hand.
“I heard a lot too. Sihan is a very trustworthy, strong, and powerful man with his words.”
“That’s right. I’m just embarrassed.”
Yeonhwa must have praised me a lot to her parents.
So that’s probably why Shu Lei reacted like that.
A man who is praised by his daughter who is in her prime
Even if you don’t give up, you can’t help but be concerned as a father.
Shu Lei then continued speaking.
“At first, I was skeptical. To the point where I even thought that talking about breaking the protection department all at once was a lie spouted out of defiance that my daughter did not want to join the Flame Dragon Society.”
“Father! Is that what you were thinking? You didn’t believe this Yeonhwa!”
Shu Lei broke into a cold sweat at Yeonhwa’s reaction as she stood up and spoke.
“That’s not it, Yeonhwa. This father always believes his daughter.”
“That’s a contradiction!”
“That’s…”
“Yeonhwa.”
“Mother!”
“You know why your father is saying this, right? It’s hard for even my father, who usually always believes in what you say, to believe. What significance the Department of Protection has for our family. And what significance does the Flame Dragon Society have for the prestigious family of Luong? Consider your father’s feelings as well. And isn’t it rude in the presence of guests? Please sit down.”
“I understand!”
Yeonhwa sat down immediately after hearing Shu Yeonhee’s words.
Just through the conversation, I immediately figured out who was in power in the Shu family relationship.
“Mr. Ray, please continue speaking.”
“Ah, thank you, Yeonhee.”
“What?”
The couple’s relationship seemed very good.
“Hmm, like I said, I thought that way at first, but now it’s different. Yeomryonghoe’s ability to overwhelm Tuo Jin. And the successful performance records of the Fortis Group that have reached our ears, and… The fact that Yeonhwa has reached the level so quickly. Actually.”
Shu Lei’s eyes took on the look of a wealthy father and the head of a family.
“I thought this was definitely worthy of Yeonhwa leaving the Flame Dragon Society and joining Portis. The connections in the Flame Dragon Society are also important, but I can do something about it because of the connections I have accumulated so far. But… I can only do something about my own skills. . Lee Si-han, you solved it.”
“All I did was give Yeonhwa the opportunity to grow through many requests. What she achieved was because of her own skills and talent.”
In this case, the conversation can proceed more smoothly if you praise Yeonhwa rather than praise yourself.
“Yeonhwa? You call me that so friendly… !”
If it weren’t for that stubborn temperament.
“Mr. Ray.”
“Uhm…”
Only after Shu Yeon-hee stroked Shu Lei’s hand a few times and called her name her, did Shu Lei calm down again and return to the gaze of the matriarch.
“Sihan Lee. No, Lord Sihan. In any case, I am grateful to you for providing such an opportunity to our Yeonhwa. However, as a father… And as the head of the family, I cannot just leave Yeonhwa in the Portis Group like this.”
“Father? Are you doing this when you already gave permission?”
“Yeonhwa, you stay still. The conversation is not over yet. Lord Shihan, so I want you to prove this to us in the Shu family.”
“What proof do you need?”
“In the Shu family, there is only one proof.”
Shu Lei stood up and looked down at me.
“Just like you proved to Yeonhwa.” Lord Sihan, you try to destroy my protection.”
***
To prove it, I followed Shu Lei to the Shu family’s training hall.
It is said that the training ground originally had amulets and various targets to train the power of kicks or fists, but it is said that they were all put away for today.
On the wall of the training hall, people who appeared to be members of the Shu family were standing side by side, looking at me and Shu Lei in the center.
Among them were Yeonhwa and Shu Yeonhee.
“Are you ready?”
“Anytime is okay.”
“Then… Department of Protection!”
Shu Lei took out the amulet and opened the protective part.
The same protective effect as Yeonhwa.
However, it felt like more magic attribute was used.
“Oh! That’s the head of the family’s protection!”
“The best protection department of the Shu family! A protection department worthy of the nickname ‘Iron Wall!'”
“Wow! I can’t believe I get to see the matriarch’s protection with my own eyes!”
Several members of the Shu family were thrilled by Shu Lei’s protection of her.
“Come on! Show me, Sihan-gong! The skill that broke Yeonhwa’s protection!”
As soon as Shurei finished speaking, he immediately threw out his spear her.
Jeaeaeaeaeang!
[It penetrated the protective part.]
“What!?”
As soon as the protective part was broken, Shu Lei’s slightly squinted eyes widened.
“Oh my gosh!”
“The matriarch’s protection department!”
“That’s ridiculous!”
“Oh my…”
Shu Lei and other members of the Shu family are watching this scene.
And even Shu Yeon-hee was surprised.
The only ones who weren’t surprised were Yeonhwa and Gyeonghu, who had already seen this situation.
“Is this proof?”
“…! Huh, heh heh! That’s amazing as expected. I knew that breaking Yeonhwa’s protection she wasn’t just something she said. In that case, I’ll tell you the truth too. “
By creating an atmosphere in which the protective part is naturally reopened.
“Haaaaa!”
Shu Lei raised his magic power.
“Uh, that is! The spirit that a matriarch gives when she expresses her true feelings!”
“A spirit that can only be seen in friendly matches with heads of other families!”
“The matriarch’s spirit made the Shu family’s reputation as an iron wall even stronger!”
“That thing will never break!”
“Haaaaa! Protection Department!”
The protective part, which clearly appears to contain a large amount of magical energy, was unfolded.
If I just get rid of this with a stab, I will lose face as the head of the family.
“Screw Sting!”
A screw sting with C-level power that did not have any special effects was unleashed.
Jeaeaeaeaeang!
[It penetrated the protective part.]
“Huh!”
“”…!!!””
Shu Lei’s expression changed to astonishment, and the members of the Shu family who were watching also reacted in surprise, widening their eyes and mouths.
I asked Shu Lei, who was astonished as he put away his spear.
“Has it been proven?”
“My, my protection department…”
Shu Lei was staring at his hands blankly, as if he had not recovered from the shock yet.
“That’s amazing, Lord Shihan. As expected, you’re someone Yeonhwa approves of. Now, Mr. Ray. I think the proof is over, so let’s go in.”
“My protection… The Shu family’s iron wall…”
“Come on, come on!”
Shu Yanxi came out and dragged Shu Lei and fell from the center.
However, it was not possible to brighten the atmosphere in the training hall, which was filled with astonishment.
At that time.
“Ohhohohoho!”
Yeonhwa moved next to me with a smile.
“You’ve all seen it, right? I recognized Sihan’s skills! I joined Portis because I saw Sihan’s potential! I will continue to have various experiences with Sihan and grow to further shine the Shu family!”
“Hey, Lady Yeonhwa!”
“Such a deep meaning… !”
“You’re training next to someone strong enough to break the matriarch’s protection!”
“Wow! So! You’re so amazing!”
Thanks to Yeonhwa, the atmosphere in the training hall changed from shock to excitement.
“My protection department…”
Except for Shu Lei, who has not yet recovered from the shock.
After finishing the proof and spending a reasonable amount of time, I thought all that was left was to return to Lucedia.
But.
Something unexpected happened.
Jeaeaeaeang!
[It penetrated the protective part.]
Shake it up!
“My protection department… !”
How many times is it being stabbed?
I was penetrating the protection provided by members of the Shu family to the point where it became tiresome to even count them.
It all started with the words of Shu Lei, who came to his senses of her.
“I know Sihan’s skills well. I once again acknowledge that Yeonhwa is in the Fortis Group. But! Even if I did admit it, it’s hard to think that other members of the Shu family also recognized it! I’m reluctant to do it out of respect for my own reputation. There will be some who accept it. So!”
“So?”
“Try to break the protection of other members of the family, Sihan-dono!”
“Matriarch? We already support Lady Yeonhwa ‘s her choice her her her…”
“The human heart is not something that can be given in so easily! Come on! Everyone, get ready! We will spread out our protection with all our might and line up in front of Lord Sihan!”
It was Shu Lei’s Water Demon Operation, which meant that he could not experience the shock of the protection unit being broken alone.
