Episode 121: The Beginning of a Legend (3)
“We are going to Hohyeon now.”
“It’s Uncle Baek-gyu’s?
Jinsan Yu nodded to his granddaughter’s question.
“huh. “Let’s go there first.”
These children who escaped from the training ground will be chased by the Murim Alliance.
Hohyeon, one of Sapa’s sacred sites and full of friendly forces, was the safest place for now.
‘Anyway, the Murim Lord will go on a rampage because of this incident.’
They wiped out the elders of Amipa, the leader’s reclus, and stole the next standard-bearers of the Changryongdae, whom he had put a lot of effort into training. I almost wanted to see what kind of expression she would make upon hearing this news.
I couldn’t feel this relieved for the first time in a long time.
Wasn’t it the Murim League that not only annihilated his family, but also framed him as a crazy murderer?
It was Jin-san Yu who, in his old age, lived as a fugitive with his granddaughter on his back.
Now, for the first time, I have given them a shot.
“Grandpa, you look like you’re in a good mood.”
“Of course it’s good. “Our Seol has grown so much.”
“Even if you’re a grandpa, try learning the four skills. I will help you.”
Jinsan Yu waved his hand without any hesitation.
The first prerequisite to learning this martial art is to remove yang energy from the body. I had absolutely no desire to learn it that way.
Even if he did, it was not a martial art that anyone could learn. What if I was born with a good constitution like my granddaughter?
If he tried, even though he couldn’t even reach the flower world, there was a high probability that he wouldn’t be able to do it even if he stayed in a cave and practiced until he died.
“That’s a martial arts skill that doesn’t suit your grandfather. Please tell me about Baekbo Shinwon later. “I’d like to try Shaolin’s martial arts skills too.”
Yoo Seol smiled and crossed his arms around his grandfather.
“okay. “I will teach you when we arrive at Hohyeon.”
The smile did not leave Yu Jin-san’s face. I couldn’t help but be happy because I was reunited with my granddaughter after a long time.
And one more thing.
Until yesterday, he had been holding his breath at the training ground, but now he was confidently walking up Amisan Mountain.
There was no one blocking the way until we descended the mountain. All of the nuns of Amipa, who were on guard everywhere, probably ran away.
Since he no longer had to pay attention to what anyone thought, Jin-san Yu’s shoulders gained a lot of strength.
It was when the group left Amisan and arrived at a quiet place.
While resting for a while, Yuseol approached the children, softly.
“Guys~”
It was said with a smile, but about 300 children simultaneously took a step back with a start.
“...?”
Is it because I witnessed them beating down instructors who were as fierce and scary as tigers with their bare hands? Although she appeared to be just a small and pretty girl, she couldn’t help but feel instinctive fear.
“Ask my grandpa if he wants to go with me. “They say if you have nowhere to go, they will help you live in Hohyeon.”
“Hohyeon...?”
When someone asked with curiosity, the corners of Yu Seol’s mouth drew a bigger smile.
“huh. If you go there, you can eat a lot of delicious food, spar with your uncles, and have fun. shall we go together?”
These children did not even remember their names, let alone where they were captured.
In such a situation, where else would you go? The outcome was determined from the beginning.
Nevertheless, Jinsan Yu asked about the children’s wishes through his granddaughter.
Because I wanted to make you realize it. From now on, you can make your own choices and live like a human being.
As the children nodded as one, dimples appeared on Yu Seol’s face.
“Hi-Hi. “Then shall we play a naming game until we arrive?”
In this way, Yu Seol gave the children names one by one until they arrived in Shaanxi.
Most of them were simple yet strange, but everyone seemed to like them. Because it was 100 times better than being called by number.
It took only five days to cross from Sacheon to Shaanxi. This was possible because all of them were children capable of performing as top-class players.
It was a natural reaction. As the commander of the Apostolic Alliance, the misfortune of the Murim Alliance was his joy.
“Fuhaha! Ha ha ha ha ha!! I have never heard such a refreshing story in my life. “For the first time in a while, the noses of the political factions have become flat.”
“hmm. “I guess so.”
“But is it true that Seol really killed Do Hye-sae with her bare hands? “That crazy nun who is rumored to be a sect’s bastard?”
“Have I ever lied to you? “Even the elders of Amipa have all made ink bowls.”
Baek-gyu was happy, shaking his clenched hands.
“haha! It seems that there is finally hope in our Sapa. “I was on the verge of death because I was suffocated by the power of the political faction.”
When did his granddaughter become a member of Sapa?
A girl less than ten years old is the hope of Sapa. It was literally laughable.
‘Well, since he has been saying that he is a Sapa, it is impossible to say that it is not true.’
Jinsan Yu just laughed and passed it off.
“Anyway, Seol is coming here with the kids now.”
“Brother, if you want, just bring along as much as you want. “I will accept all the children, even if it means expanding my family’s manor.”
From Paedomoon’s perspective, it was something to welcome with open arms.
Although they were children, each one of them had skills comparable to that of a top-notch expert.
Even if he was accepted as a food guest, there was no harm to the clan at all.
“I haven’t told you yet that I will entrust those children to Paedomun. “How could I put such a big burden on my younger brother?”
“What do you mean, brother? In Hohyeon, what sect other than the Paedo clan can protect the children from the political sect? “Please bring me here.”
It was an expected reaction and a situation he had induced.
Baek Gyu’s position was that of the leader of the Four factions of Hohyeon and the commander of the Sadōryun. As far as his connections were concerned, there was no safer place than Paedomun.
“Before that, I have one more favor to ask you.”
“Are we strangers? “Please just tell me.”
Jinsan Yu nodded with a faint smile.
“Isn’t Wulin a place where you can’t leave once you set foot in it, whether you want to or not? It would be impossible for those children to live a normal life. However, I hope that you will take care of me so that I do not have to face any hardships until I become an adult. “They are poor children who do not even have families.”
“How many years have you and Seol spent at Paedomun, but you still don’t know me?”
Just one word was enough.
Hadn’t he, an old man, and his baby granddaughter been hiding here for more than five years? Looking back, my daily life at Paedomun was a happy, worry-free day.
During those years, Baek Gyu never once asked for help in battle. No, he was a person who told people to run away first during invasions by political factions.
“How can I not know you? So I thought this was the only place.”
“My kids were lonely too, so that’s a good thing. “I think it would be okay to pair up and create a family.”
It was not easy for the warriors here to have children, perhaps because of the side effects of Paedomun’s martial arts technique, Guidugong (鬼頭攻).
Maybe that’s why I still remember how everyone treated my granddaughter like a niece.
“Yeah, that’s a good idea too. “Then I’ll just trust you and leave it to you.”
“Don’t worry, just watch. “Anyway, seeing the commotion outside, it looks like they’ve arrived.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the office burst open.
“Uncle Baekgyu!!”
Yoo Seol rushed in, her long hair flying.
Without any time to be surprised by the change in appearance, Baek-gyu raised both hands and began a defensive movement. This is because rumors were spreading and fists were being raised.
“Yap yap!”
Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-tak-!
It was a prank like usual.
Since there was no bet involved, there was no damage, but Baek-gyu was quite surprised.
He punched dozens of times in one breath. It was a move that even he, who had reached the flower world, found difficult to dare.
After the unique greeting, Baekgyu grabbed Yuseol’s side and lifted her up.
“Oh my, if I spar with Seol now, my uncle will be beaten to death.”
“Hi-Hi. “Uncle, I brought some friends.”
“Okay, good job. Let’s go out and give them a warm welcome.”
