Episode 58 You can’t go without my permission (2)
It was early in the morning.
At this time when everyone is asleep. Eugene San’s eyes, which were lying down, slowly opened.
He very slowly raised his upper body, as if time had slowed down dozens of times.
Immediately, like a stray cat, I cautiously looked to the left.
just as expected. He screamed in astonishment as if he had seen a ghost.
“It’s a surprise!”
The granddaughter was sitting cross-legged in front of the door with her eyes closed.
It seemed as if he was saying that he could not go outside without his permission.
At that time, Yu Seol, whose eyes were closed, slowly twitched her small, red lips like a cherry.
“Grandpa, where are you going?”
“Why are you doing this? “I’ll go somewhere and come back, so sleep a little longer.”
“I heard that I go with Seol wherever I go.”
Yu Jin-san advised as he put on his clothes.
“You can’t go there because it could be dangerous. “It’s a place with scary people.”
“I’m going with you because it’s dangerous. Seol will protect you.”
I couldn’t help but laugh.
No matter how advanced your martial arts skills may be, how could you entrust your eight-year-old granddaughter with guarding you?
Jinsan Yu spoke firmly with a serious expression.
“There’s no time, so get out of the way!”
But is there any dignity in a child’s voice coming from a small body? It was different from the past. I shouted as hard as I could, but Yooseol didn’t budge.
“no.”
“What about this guy?”
Yu Jin-san approached the door with great strides and tried to pull the child sitting in front of the door, but he was unmoved.
It didn’t budge, like a rock stuck deep in the ground.
‘Cheongeunchu?’
Cheongeunchu (千斤錘). It was a technique to increase the weight of the body through internal energy. Now the weight of Yuseol was not a thousand pounds, but ten thousand pounds, and it was as hard as cast iron.
It felt as if a huge mountain was blocking the door.
The more he pulled on his granddaughter, the more he was being pulled.
“I can’t go out.”
“....”
Yu Jin-san sighed with an absurd expression on his face.
How can you blame a child who is worried about himself?
Jinsan Yu and her granddaughter were finally able to reach an agreement after playing tug-of-war during the day.
Move only according to your own instructions. I compromised on several safety measures, such as running away alone if the situation becomes difficult.
“I must keep the promise I made to my grandfather.”
“okay. “I will definitely protect it.”
There was no time to hesitate.
An operation to exterminate political factions against Sapa.
They must know that the information was leaked. It was a situation where it was impossible to predict what variables would occur.
It was not the time to relax.
“Let’s leave.”
The two came out the door and ran shoulder to shoulder.
Yu Seol held out his right hand as if he had been waiting.
“Hold my hand,”
Yu Jin-san repeated, reaching out his left hand and holding his granddaughter’s hand.
“I’m not going there to fight, but it’s a dangerous place. “When you arrive, just stay behind Grandpa.”
Five days are wasted walking from here to the destination, Mt. Muak. However, that is the case for ordinary people, and martial people who have reached the peak of Gyeonggong can arrive within two hours.
Ta-ta-ta-tat-!
The birds were often startled and scattered by the momentum of the two holding hands and running quickly.
There was no reason to run along the road. If they saw a pavilion, they ran on the roof, and if they encountered an obstacle, they jumped over it.
As I ran frantically in the cool wind, I felt like my heart was exploding.
‘Good.’ To the extent that he could run to the end of the world....’
Every moment of happiness was precious to Jinsan Yu, who had come to the brink of death. Everything was fun with my granddaughter.
The smile did not leave Yu Seol’s face.
After driving for two hours, I saw a mountain peak in the distance, disappearing above the clouds.
Muak Mountain (霧惡山).
This place, the headquarters of the Black Cat, is famous for its misty, rugged mountains, as its name suggests.
From the assassins’ point of view, it was like an optimal fortress.
“Oops!”
“Kyaak!”
The desperate screams did not stop even after a long time had passed.
There was no way the rumor could have killed the assassins, but for some reason, I couldn’t help feeling anxious.
“You can’t kill me!”
There was no answer. Only miserable screams continue.
It wasn’t until after a day or so that silence came again.
Soon, the granddaughter with a bamboo pole over her shoulder appeared through the fog.
“It’s okay now, grandpa.”
“...What happened?”
“huh. “Everyone is sleeping.”
This probably means that they all fainted. Heaving a sigh of relief, Yujinsan took the lead again and headed to the summit.
‘It’s a good thing that they told me not to use the wind lance in actual combat.’
The family’s strongest sword, the Salpungchang (殺風槍), had so much killing power that it was not appropriate for current legends to use it. Instead, I just had them continue training for the future.
Did he realize that small tricks don’t work? There were no more memorizations while moving.
A first-degree assassination was not even the slightest threat to Yu Seol.
However, if they send an express assassin, they will have to endure huge losses.
‘It takes a huge amount of effort and investment to raise one special assassin.’
Since the purpose of coming here was revealed, there was no reason for the Black Cat Sect to rush to such an extent. If they wanted to test themselves, they would have already achieved their goal.
As expected, there were no more surprise attacks until we reached our destination.
When we arrived at the top a little while later, someone had already come out and was waiting.
A person whose entire body is covered in dark black clothing. It was a special killing with deliberate movements and movement without even the slightest hint of presence.
“Lord Moon said he would meet with me.”
“Thank you.”
Yu Jin-san and his granddaughter followed him across the headquarters of the Black Myo Sect.
The basin at the top was reminiscent of a bandit’s mountain lodge.
One thing that was different was that it was a training ground for assassins that looked unusual.
All the devices installed here and there seemed dangerous enough to risk one’s life.
Yu Seol’s eyes lit up with envy as he watched the assassins training there with all their might.
“...It’s gonna be fun.”
Jinsan Yu sent a message to his granddaughter with an expression of bewilderment.
– Soon you will meet a scary person. Grandpa will take care of it, so don’t say anything and just stay still.
This was to prevent any unexpected accidents.
Yu Seol nodded as if he understood.
And after a while. When we arrived at our destination, there was an old-fashioned building standing tall.
“Please go in.”
The express shooter who guided the way stopped all movement in front of the door as if he had finished his work. His appearance, standing like an old tree, seemed to tell what kind of person Salsu was.
As I entered the inside of the palace, the air changed.
A cool chill came out as if the season had changed.
Did Yoo Seol also feel something unusual? I held my grandfather’s hand with a slightly stiff face.
“Nothing will happen, so don’t worry.”
“...Yes.”
Another door was visible inside the palace.
When I opened the door, there was a person waiting sitting on a platform covered with red brocade.
An impression as sharp as a blade. The look in his eyes, as if his emotions had been cut out, was creepy.
Baeksang, the sword of the Black Cat, the master of the Black Cat. He seemed certain.
Did you say that the strong recognize the strong?
I felt strange, so I looked to the side and saw my granddaughter and the head of the Black Cat sect glaring at each other. It looked as if they were fighting.
Yu Jin-san hurriedly let go of Yoo Seol’s hand and sent a message.
– Stop glaring and act like your grandfather.
Yu Jin-san was the first to put both hands together and make a fist, and Yu Seol automatically followed suit.
As the frozen air subsided further, the white elephant’s mouth opened first.
“This is the first time in my life that I have seen two masters who have gone through a revolution at the same time. “You deserve to be here.”
“Thank you for opening the way.”
Baeksang leaned back in his chair and nodded with curious eyes.
“I was wondering if the rumors were true, but it’s even more amazing than I heard. Yin-yang twin monster. “What business did you come for?”
Yu Jin-san cursed at the Murim Alliance in his mind. It was only a matter of time before the rumor spread throughout the Gangho faction.
But thinking about that was for later.
He took out the Apostolic Association’s military badge, which he had borrowed from Paedomun’s Baekgyu, and the letter he had prepared, and held them out in front of him.
