Jin Cho-Baek clenched his fists tightly.
Everyone here must be nervous, but he would be the only one watching this spar with such complicated feelings.
Why not?
Well, one of his sons was trying to overpower his younger brother, who had joined Mount Hua. On the other hand, the younger brother was trying to overthrow his older brother, who had joined the Southern Edge Sect.
Jin Cho-Baek had no choice but to wear a bitter look watching this spar.
Bang!
They were thrown back faster than their speed on approach. Recovering, they once again rushed at each other, swords first.
Jin Cho-Baek bit his lip, watching his sons disengage and stare each other down. It might not be visible yet, but on the surface, there was no major difference in their skills.
‘When did that child get so strong compared to his hyung?’
He knew that Baek Cheon had become stronger. He had a good performance so far, so how could he not know?
However, he had thought that no matter how much Baek Cheon struggled, he would never be on par with his older brother.
Just a few years back, there had been no competition between them at all, so it was only natural for him to have this assumption.
Since their childhood, Baek Cheon had never once defeated Jin Geum-Ryong. Even considering his age, he would never see Baek Cheon show at least half the talent of Jin Geum-Ryong.
But,
‘What did you experience on Mount Hua, and what did you gain?’
Right now, in front of him, Baek Cheon was able to tackle Jin Geum-Ryong without being pushed back.
It was so dazzling to his eyes.
Jin Cho-Baek bit his lower lip firmly.
‘I made a mistake.’
Talent wasn’t one-size-fits-all. Some talents shone brilliantly from the start, while others bloomed over a long period of time, like a flower that shines during the long winter after enduring the cold.
Parents and teachers were the ones who needed to recognize both types of talents and nurture them.
‘I wasn’t a proper parent to him.’
He thought it was enough. He thought since Baek Cheon couldn’t be compared to his brother, he shouldn’t expect much from that child and hurt him.
But.
His eyes now turned to the disciples of Mount Hua, who were cheering for Baek Cheon.
‘Mount Hua has raised that child.’
They did what he couldn’t do.
Hyun Jong, who spoke without shame that Mount Hua needed Baek Cheon, resounded in his mind.
‘Could I have said that?’
Jin Cho-Baek closed his eyes.
He was here as an elder of the Southern Edge Sect. If he considered his duties, of course, he should be supporting Jin Geum-Ryong and not Baek Cheon.
However, as the father of Baek Cheon and not an elder of the Southern Edge Sect, he had no choice but to look at his younger son.
‘Show me.’
What you have.
What I let go.
“Sahyung, sasuk will win right?”
