Episode 72: The Bastards of the Xiahu Family (3)
“My body cannot receive internal energy.”
“What do you mean? “If grandpa gives it to you, you can’t just say ‘thank you’ and accept it right away?”
“The power supply is already full.”
The size of the Danjeon that can contain internal energy varies depending on age and level, and is also affected by the type of meditation.
Therefore, it is not possible to accumulate strength indefinitely.
But at this age, my Danjeon is full? It was something I couldn’t believe.
“Our San is making fun of grandpa.”
Jinsan Yu shook his head horizontally.
And I decided to add a little more to the lie Dong-gu started.
“Master shared some of his inner skills with me just before he passed away from his injuries.”
Dongwoon-geol put Yujin-san down on the floor with a puzzled expression. I guess I wanted to check for myself whether what he said was true.
A wrinkled hand gently grasped the pretty hand.
Although it is not possible to directly check the size of the Danjeon, there was a way to roughly determine the level of the inner gong.
The head of the house, who was gently letting the true energy flow into Jin-san Yu’s body, widened her eyes in surprise.
“How can this be...”
It was natural to be surprised. A child like Acorn had much more skill than he did.
Jin-san Yu did not neglect his inner strength training until he was on the brink of death due to old age.
Other family members who did not know the English language were very curious.
“What happen?”
“Why are you so surprised?”
The head of the house answered with an expression of bewilderment.
“I think my internal strength is over three times higher.”
The martial arts people practice Naegong for an average of one hour a day, and based on this standard, the Naegong that has been accumulated for 60 years is called Ikgapja.
But what about three? This is the amount that needs to be accumulated for one hundred and eighty years, one hour per day.
Sometimes, as rumored, there are special constitutions in which internal energy builds up dozens of times faster, but in general, this is an unimaginable figure.
Surprised, Dong-gu craned his neck like Zara and asked back.
“Yes?”
“I guess Geomseon didn’t tell you. Even so, how can a father be so indifferent to his children?”
“That...”
“Tsk, tsk.” “An earthworm gave birth to a dragon. How can I handle it?”
Dong-gu was suddenly ignored by his father.
The words he wanted to say were welling up in his throat, but he couldn’t get them out.
‘So your father gave birth to an earthworm?’
From the moment he met his exceptional grandson, he, his real son, took a backseat.
Dong-gu was not without feelings of disappointment, but he was still happy on the inside when he saw his father happy.
“Anyway, my lifespan is not long, so I don’t know if this might be a good thing. “I definitely want to pass it on to Sani.”
Passing on your skills is not as easy as you might think.
The person teaching it must endure great pain, even to the point of death, and if even the slightest problem arises, both parties may end up in a state of insolvency, so great determination is required.
Moreover, the efficiency was not good as more than half of the internal power was lost during the transfer process.
Therefore, it was a method that was not commonly used, but in cases like now where the rise and fall of a family depended on it, the story is different.
“I can’t help it, father. So....”
Dongwoon-geol raised one hand and cut off his youngest son’s words.
“no. “I want to do whatever it takes to pass everything on to my grandchildren.”
“There’s no way anyway, right?”
“For now, Dong-gu takes it for you. And in the future, when San-i is ready to receive it, please pass it on to me again.”
It was a sound that went beyond absurdity and was close to unreasonable.
If the internal energy was transmitted through one leg, eighty-five percent would be lost in the process. Still, his will was very firm.
The grandfather’s desire was to pass on at least one more thing to his perfect grandson. I didn’t even care about my sons anymore.
“Father...”
If things continue like this, there will be no conversation. Eugene San needed to reassure him.
“Now that I know everything about you, let me tell you about me too.”
He began to talk honestly about his situation to Dong-gu.
He tells the story of how he is the head of the Yu family and how he came here.
The circumstances are undoubtedly correct.
And it was a story whose details could not be made up. I had no choice but to agree.
Was the fear alleviated by the sight of him speaking in a friendly manner in the guise of a child? Dong-gu’s breathing gradually regained stability.
“Perhaps your father’s age is similar to mine. “Maybe I have more.”
“Yes, old man... I really didn’t expect it at all.”
Yoo Seol, who had been quietly listening to the story, peeked out from next to her and grinned.
“Hi-Hi. “You were fooled, right?”
An innocent face and a pure smile. Is this a kid like this a bad guy who has quickly emerged as a new expert in Safa? Dong-gu lowered his head with a puzzled look on his face.
“Yes, grandma. “I really didn’t know.”
“I’m not a grandmother~”
Of course, it’s bound to be misunderstood. Eugene San helped explain from the side.
“He’s really eight years old.”
“Yes?”
“The rumors started out strangely, but I was the only one who actually turned anti-Roh. “Our Seol is my granddaughter.”
There was no end to the absurdity. The identity of the evil monster that defeated Mo Yong-seong is an eight-year-old girl. Is the yin-yang twin monster playing a prank on me?
I couldn’t believe it, but I’ll find out as I go along.
That wasn’t the most important issue right now.
“Can you... can you keep this a secret for me? “If my father finds out who you two are....”
“He’ll probably faint. “Don’t worry, I don’t have any intention of telling you.”
“thank you so much. “But why are you helping me like this?”
Since there was no need to lie, Jinsan Yu spoke directly.
“Because you will help us too.”
“You are the benefactor of our family. You must help unconditionally. But what can someone like me do to help?”
Yu Jin-san glanced at his granddaughter for a moment.
Is it because I ate better than I did? Before I knew it, the height difference seemed to have widened a little more.
“I’m not that familiar with the powerhouses of this region. “I don’t know anything about the situation in Hanam.”
“But...?”
“It means we need to collect information before we act. That way you can make a plan. But there’s no way that’s possible with a body like this.”
Unless he revealed his identity in earnest, there were limits to what he could do with his child’s body.
At the very least, it is impossible to even make a noise in the guest room.
Therefore, they needed at least one person who could be their hands and feet. That was Dong-gu.
“But I don’t have a way to collect information...”
“I don’t even expect you to go that far. “First, please find out if there is an information merchant here and how to contact them.”
The value of information in a vast river is extremely valuable.
Therefore, groups that buy and sell information also exist everywhere.
Typically, there was openness, but it was not possible to take advantage of those who were members of the Murim Alliance.
“Yes, I can do that much.”
“okay. I’ll also have to check how many masters there are in Hafusega. “If something happens, I need to decide whether I can handle it all.”
“All right. “It won’t be difficult because the family will already have information about them.”
Jinsan Yu nodded with a satisfied expression.
“Okay then, let’s meet back here in two days. “Just make some excuses at home.”
“Where are you going?”
“To a quiet place where I can relax. “The showdown is coming, and I need to prepare as well.”
According to his prediction, the problem with Hafusegawa was not something that could be easily resolved. Unlike the head of the Dong family, it was a huge family with power, so it was necessary to prepare in advance.
And most of all, it was because of my granddaughter, who was itching and couldn’t stand it.
Is your blood already boiling? Yoo Seol grabbed his grandfather’s hand and pulled him.
“Let’s go quickly, grandpa.”
