Warrior Grandpa and Supreme Granddaughter

Episode 66: I have to leave secretly (1)

Yu Jin-san looked at the Four Kings’ tablet he received as a gift from the Four Masters.

A rough jade tablet that is as small as the palm of your hand. On the outside, it looked unsightly.

“What is this?”

“It may be unfamiliar to you since you come from a political sect, but there is no one in the Apostolic Alliance who would not recognize this.”

“hmm. “It seems to be an item of great value.”

“haha! This is something that cannot be bought even if you pay a thousand dollars. “This is the highest honorary plaque given to a hero of the Apostolic Alliance.”

Why is he handing the honorary plaque of the Apostolic Association to himself?

Are they trying to subdue the yin-yang twin monsters? I wasn’t sure if I would like this job.

“Why do I need a plaque of honor?”

“You see the Death King’s Pavilion as a mere prop. “A warrior of the Apostolic Alliance must cooperate in any way with the person who possesses this.”

In that case, it was no different from saying that he had the same authority as the executives of the Apostolic Association.

Omnipotent power. As Baek-gyu said, it was clearly an item with a value that could not be converted into money.

However, it was not a pleasant experience for Yu Jin-san. This is because becoming a member of the Apostolic Alliance was not part of my future plans.

If you do that, your actions will also be restricted. Rather, it only caused annoyances.

“I am not a member of the Apostolic Alliance. From now on, I will not fall under anyone.”

“It’s just a gift. Why do you put so much meaning into it? “There are no other conditions, so I’ll just leave it in out of good faith.”

Yu Jin-san thought for a moment while clutching the Death King’s tablet.

However, it was impossible not to accept it.

Who is the Sadoryeonju? He was the supreme leader of the Sa faction and was on the same level as the Murim lord of the Jeong faction. Ignoring his sincerity was not a wise move.

He made up his mind and kept the Four Kings’ tablet in his arms.

“Aw, I’ll take your word for it, but I won’t be using it.”

If he used the Four Kings to influence the power of the Four Sects, he would be admitting that he was a member of the Four Sects.

Rather, I didn’t even know if that was what the Apostle Lord wanted. How could one not covet the new masters of Sapa who defeated Mo Yong-seong?

However, it was not Mount Yujin that could be easily crossed.

“No one is forcing you, so it’s up to you whether you use it or not. “Anyway, if it’s okay, how about taking a walk with me?”

“That’s right. “It’s a bit frustrating to just lie in a hospital bed.”

Yu Jin-san and Baek-gyu got up and came out of the palace.

When the samurai of the Sadōryun who brought the news returned, there was no one nearby.

Although the manor was full of activity everywhere, it was very quiet except for the training hall and a few other areas. This may be because many believers were killed or injured in this attack by the political faction.

Jinsan Yu clicked his tongue as if he felt sorry.

“It’s a shame… too many people have died.”

“If we had not been careful, we would have been completely wiped out, but this was actually a good save. “There is nothing to be sad about as long as we live harder and live up to the share of those who died.”

“But your face doesn’t look like that.”

How can Baek Gyu feel at ease?

As the head of Paedomun, he was in a position where he could not show weakness. Yu Jin-san also knew his burning intentions well.

Contrary to what he said, Baek-gyu was staring into the distance with sad eyes.

“Anyway, I still don’t understand what these crazy political faction bastards gain by doing this.”

“I tried to get it, but in the end, I guess I couldn’t even get my money’s worth. “My guess is that their real target is not us.”

“So you’re saying they have another enemy?”

Yu Jin-san thought for a moment and nodded his head once.

“Even though the Murim League knew that the Apostolic Alliance was preparing, they went out of their way to fight head-on. It’s as if I’m being chased by something. “If my assumption was true, there would have been a need to sort out Safa, which was a thorn in my eyes, in advance.”

“Your thoughts make sense. But now that the Demonic Cult has collapsed, who is the threat to the Murim Alliance? “If it’s a force of that magnitude, there’s no way we wouldn’t have been able to figure it out.”

“How would I even know that? What the truth is will probably be revealed soon. In any case, the political factions will be quiet now.”

Baekgyu’s face was full of composure.

“Brother Aju has a wicked sense of humor. Recently, the activities of the Murim League have become as quiet as a lie. “Like rats.”

“According to my guess, we won’t be able to launch an unreasonable attack again. We won’t be able to waste any more power. Moreover, the leadership of the Murim Alliance will also be shaking in its position due to the failure of the operation.”

“Someday I’ll have to pay these damn bastards back for this. “Anyway, what are you going to do now, brother?”

Jinsan Yu could not answer right away and was lost in thought for a moment.

What needs to be said? They were already so close that they could guess each other’s inner thoughts just by looking at their facial expressions.

The two walked in silence for a while, immersed in silence.

When the atmosphere calmed down to some extent, Jinsan Yu spoke, reminiscing about the past.

“…I guess it’s been about five years. At that time, I was being chased by the Murim Alliance. I was chased aimlessly, even sleeping on the street with Seol on my back. “You were the only one who warmly accepted us who had nowhere to go.”

“Don’t say that. “My brother and Seol are our benefactors and family members.”

“Still, I wanted to say thank you at least once before I left.”

“Ugh. That’s enough of the gloomy talk. Just tell me when you’re leaving. Still, shouldn’t we have a farewell drink?”

“I’ve already decided, so there’s no need to hesitate. We’ll leave right away tomorrow. “I’m going to go see our Lunar New Year, so you can go back first.”

Baek-gyu looked sad on the inside, but tried to smile.

“Then come and have dinner with my nephew later. If you don’t beat me with a big hit tonight, I won’t let you go.”

Jin-san Yu also raised one hand with an awkward smile.

“That’s right.”

He parted ways with Baek-gyu and continued moving in the opposite direction. Lastly, keep your eyes on all the places.

Perhaps because I had become attached to it, my last steps to look around the sect were heavy.

But I couldn’t stay here forever. To avenge his family, he had to keep going.

The relatives of the head of the Yu family who died in sorrow. If not yourself, who will comfort your soul?

There are only two survivors of a family that has been around for hundreds of years. It was only him, who was the oldest person in the family, and the youngest son, who had just been born.

Where else in the world can there be such a strange fate?

I had to find Ambassador Wongang in Hanam and find out the full story of the incident.

Since it was not close to this place, there was no guarantee whether I would be able to come back.

‘One way or another, we will meet again.’

The place where Yujinsan’s steps were headed was the training ground where there would be rumors.

As he headed there, he was thinking about the fight between his granddaughter and Mo Yong-seong once again.

‘It was really amazing.’

I still can’t forget the emotion I felt at that time.

The Yu family, a family on the border, overthrew the Moyong family, one of the five great families of Wulin.

Just thinking about it made my blood boil and my heart pound.

Although she was the granddaughter who proved her martial arts skills in front of everyone, she herself did not seem to be satisfied with her current level.

An unimaginable desire for training and an endless desire. The sight of Yu Seol devoting himself to practicing martial arts showed an obsession bordering on madness.

He was at an age where he liked to run around and play, and it was normal for him to run away when asked to practice martial arts. Because all the children of the families I have seen so far were like that.

However, the rumor was different. I actually enjoy the arduous and difficult mental and physical training.

It was a pleasure to do things without being told to do it, but Jin-san Yu couldn’t understand his granddaughter’s strange hobby.

‘This is it. I’m really proud of whose granddaughter she is.’

Yu Jin-san, who was watching Yu Seol’s training from afar, was constantly impressed.

Was there an epiphany during the confrontation with Mo Yong-seong? In the meantime, the training method had changed.

It was as if he was fighting an imaginary enemy, using his footwork and both defense and attack at the same time.

Whirring! Whirring!

It seemed as if the gusts of wind blowing out from the bamboo peak could be felt all the way here.

After one noisy performance, Yu Seol let go of the baton he was holding. Then he turned his head in this direction.

“Grandpa~!”

It seemed like he had already noticed his arrival.

His granddaughter ran up to him with a bright smile and hugged him.

“It’s pretty good. In the meantime, my skills improved again.”

The granddaughter slightly opened the distance and glanced secretly at her grandfather’s neck.

It may be to check whether she is wearing the seashell necklace she gave her as a gift.

“Hi-Hi.”

It was a bit burdensome to see his granddaughter looking at him with a happy smile, but it was okay.

Jinsan Yu patted the child’s shoulder once and looked away.

“We have to leave tomorrow, so if you have people you are attached to, say goodbye to them in advance today.”

“…Yes? Where are you going?”

“Very far. “It’s a place you’ve never been to.”

Jinsan Yu began to explain briefly.

While listening to the story, various emotions appeared on the granddaughter’s face at the same time.

The excitement and anticipation of moving into a new world. And it must be a shame to leave the people you are so attached to.

“You can’t see everything anymore?”

“There is nothing to be sad about because we are not breaking up forever. As long as we are in Gangho, we will meet again.”

“…still.”

“Don’t be sad. Our Seol can run all the way here within a day whenever she wants. “It must be difficult for Grandpa.”

It was Yu Jin-san who was well aware of his granddaughter’s light attack ability.

Yu Seol felt reassured by his words and her face brightened again.

“Hi-Hi. Okay then! “Grandpa, I’m going to come say hello.”

“okay. Say goodbye to your uncles and aunts and see you in the evening.”

“Yes!”

* * *

Yu Jin-san, who returned to his residence and was packing his belongings, took the Hwaryong Shin Spear that he had kept and headed to the blacksmith shop.

It was so thick that it was difficult for a child’s hand to hold, and its length of one and a half sheets made it burdensome to carry.

However, it is impossible to dispose of the family’s only heirloom.

So the method he came up with was to disassemble it and take only the spear blade.

When he arrived at his destination, he handed the Fire Dragon Spear to the blacksmith.

“It’s been a while since you came, old man. “My heart is pounding as I encounter this divine spear again.”

Even though Eugene-san looked like a child, the blacksmith treated him with courtesy. This is because he was a regular customer who had made dozens of bamboo sticks, and he also knew his identity.

“We have to downsize because we have to go a long way. Please take apart the window. “I don’t need a sack, I just plan to take the blade.”

“All right. “The work will be finished in half an hour, so please wait a moment.”

“That’s right.”

Jinsan Yu nodded and silently watched him work.

The blacksmith’s hands handling the Fire Dragon Spear were very careful, and his eyes even contained an unknown affection.

It had to be because it was the work of Jin-gyu, the greatest weapon craftsman in history.

At that time, a thought suddenly occurred to Jinsan Yu, who was watching silently.

“Maybe. “Couldn’t it be possible to melt this and split the spear into two?”

The blacksmith shook his head as if he had nothing to think about.

“It’s impossible. First of all, I don’t have the skills to handle this. “Henam’s Iron Garage is probably the only place where this new spear can be smelted.”

“It’s the iron head… I think I’ve heard of it a few times. And another reason?”

“There is a legend that the soul of a divine beast is sealed in Jin-gyu’s work. I believe it to be true. “But you can’t split the soul of a divine beast in two, can you?”

When a beast awakens to the Way, it becomes a spirit creature and is often found in martial arts. A representative example was the blue rang that we encountered in the past at Yangju Mountain.

And there is a legend that if these spiritual creatures continue to evolve, they will become fearsome divine beasts.

Of course, it was not a common occurrence, and there were not many records of Shinsu appearing in the history of martial arts.

“Unfortunately, I won’t be able to do it.”

“But. If the elder saves Yeongdan by catching one more divine beast, it is theoretically possible. Separating the Fire Dragon Divine Spear into two pieces.”

Yu Jin-san chuckled and took out the bag from his pocket.

“I thought you were a serious friend, but you know how to joke. Come on and finish your work.”
