Chapter 112
“Hey, let go of me, Dad! Let me go!”
While everyone was in a daze, that familiar rude tone interrupted.
When I turned to see what was happening, Dang Yong-jin was struggling to escape from his father’s embrace.
“Ugh! This is suffocating!”
Even if you spoil a child, this isn’t right, is it?
That brat didn’t even realize his father had protected him from the energy wave Elder Am-wang had created.
Really, how pathetic, absolutely pathetic.
“Grandfather! Grandfather!”
Dang Yong-jin raised his voice and called out to Dang Heon-gi.
Even Dang Heon-gi looked flustered by his grandson’s behavior, making noise without reading the situation.
What are we going to do with that kid?
“Grand. Fa. Ther!”
When Dang Heon-gi didn’t respond, Dang Yong-jin finally shouted at the top of his lungs.
“Jin-ah.”
His father tried to stop him belatedly, but if he were the type to listen, he would have listened long ago.
“Why is everyone acting like this?”
Dang Yong-jin threw a tantrum and looked around irritably.
“Grandfather!”
Only then did the boy’s eyes catch sight of his grandfather Dang Heon-gi sitting collapsed on the floor.
Then Dang Yong-jin’s gaze turned toward Elder Am-wang. His expression changed subtly, as if surprised yet not quite.
Are you finally developing some sense?
Can you see what’s going on now?
They say even a rotten fish has some value.
‘That boy is also from the Dang Family, after all.’
However, that was my great mistake.
“What? Didn’t you say Great-uncle was dying soon? You said Great-uncle was nothing special!”
What the hell.
“Then I can’t become the young master? Grandfather promised to make me the young master!”
Dang Yong-jin threw a tantrum like a child, thrashing about.
It was truly an unbelievable scene.
Even if a kid lacks common sense, I never thought it could be this bad.
“Damn it, I already bragged to all my friends! What am I supposed to do now!”
Ugh, I can’t stand this anymore.
Watching that brat made me feel sorry for Dang Heon-gi.
How did they raise this child?
It was fortunate that Grandmother couldn’t see this scene.
“Grandfather, make me the young master…!”
Smack!
“Ow!”
Feeling my patience reach its limit, I struck the back of Dang Yong-jin’s head.
I was determined to knock out every last kernel of corn from his brain.
“Eek, Dad!”
That, that daddy’s boy!
If you got hit, you should think about fighting back, not hide behind your father!
How can you call yourself a child of the Dang Family!
‘Why don’t you come here quickly?’
I glared at Dang Yong-jin and beckoned with my finger.
Once I set a goal, I had a responsibility to follow through.
“You bitch!”
That’s when a bewildering turn of events unfolded.
Dang Yong-jin’s father stepped in front of me.
“How dare you lay hands on my precious son again? I can’t overlook this anymore!”
The man flew into a rage and suddenly swung his fist at me.
For a moment, I was utterly dumbfounded.
A man who can’t even control his own kid is taking his anger out on innocent me!
Do you really want to go at it with me?
“Gwan-ah!”
Dang Heon-gi’s cry came along with the man’s punch.
Oh, so uncle’s name is Gwan.
I see, Mr. Dang Gwan.
Actually, I’ve been wanting to give you a proper beating too.
How did you raise your child for him to turn out like that?
They say children are mirrors of their parents.
So the fact that he turned out like that is largely your fault, Mr. Dang Gwan!
Bang!
I easily blocked Dang Gwan’s punch with the White Jade Corn Magic Arts and glanced at Grandfather Am-wang.
Heh, he’s standing there calmly with his hands behind his back.
Grandfather sees this as self-defense too, right?
I nodded to Grandfather Am-wang.
In that case, you’re dead!
Whoooosh!
My sleeves fluttered as my internal energy surged like a rising dragon.
While I briefly checked on Elder Am-wang, Dang Gwan quickly closed the distance and kicked upward.
Swish.
I slid backward gracefully and nimbly like a phoenix, avoiding his foot coming up from below.
“Die!”
Killing intent flashed in Dang Gwan’s eyes. He crossed both arms and swung them with all his might.
Swoosh—
Several throwing knives shot out from Dang Gwan’s sleeves.
“Pfft.”
I couldn’t help but laugh.
I’m someone who trained by blocking hidden weapons even while eating.
This doesn’t even qualify as a surprise attack.
“You know what?”
Without even thinking, I naturally deployed the White Jade Convergence of the White Jade Corn Magic Arts.
As my internal energy concentrated into my sleeves, the fluttering fabric instantly became as hard as steel.
Clang!
The throwing knives that touched my energy-infused sleeves bounced off helplessly.
“What!”
Dang Gwan’s eyes widened like lanterns, apparently not expecting me to block even the throwing knives.
Oh my, are you surprised?
You won’t have time for that now.
“Yah!”
I stayed low to the ground and struck Dang Gwan’s ankle.
Crack!
As his ankle fractured, he lost his balance and staggered.
Swoooosh—
The flow of my internal energy changed dramatically according to the technique.
One ankle wasn’t enough to satisfy me.
The hammer of justice I would bring down on him was the most powerful technique of the White Jade Hand Demon Art.
It was named for the merciless power that dwelled in white hands.
It was White Hand Merciless .
In an instant, power surged from my danjeon to my fingertips, and my right hand glowed pure white like jade.
Bang!
White Hand Merciless struck Dang Gwan’s chest hard.
Swoosh!
His body flew backward like a kite with a severed string, crashed hard into the wall, then dropped limply to the ground.
I calmly straightened my fluttering sleeves.
The impact must have been greater than expected, as Dang Gwan trembled once then went completely limp.
“Ah! Now I finally feel refreshed!”
This feeling of relief, like a painful tooth finally being pulled – I wonder if everyone knows it.
I dusted off my hands and grinned.
I could see Eok I-geon nodding approvingly.
With a smile gracing his handsome face, he looked like a peerless beauty.
It was practically a demonstration of the results of surprise training, so he had good reason to be pleased.
On the other hand, Dang Heon-gi’s group was looking at me like I was some kind of monster.
Why?
Was my skill too unexpected?
I haven’t even shown my true abilities yet, so if you’re surprised by this much, what then.
‘What about Eok Grandfather?’
As expected!
Those eyes had already seen through my level.
Moreover, if I wasn’t mistaken, he seemed to be pleased with me.
“You said you were Ling’s granddaughter?”
“Yes.”
“Come have a talk with this great-grandfather.”
‘Gasp!’
Those words meant he was acknowledging me as his great-granddaughter!
As expected of Grandmother’s father, he was decisive.
So now I would become a member of the Dang Family?
“Thank you, Great-grandfather!”
Though she had always been my only family, I felt quite good now that Grandmother and I had truly become family.
Four people gathered in Lord Dang’s office.
Myself, Eok I-geon, Eok Grandfather, and Family Head Dang Jong-ryeong.
“Father, congratulations.”
Dang Jong-ryeong still seemed unable to believe that Am-wang had awakened.
He would take a sip of tea, then glance at his father, take another big gulp of tea, then steal another look at his father.
He had been in that state ever since entering the room.
“All of this is thanks to my great-granddaughter. Even saying thank you hundreds of times wouldn’t be enough.”
Eok Grandfather’s gaze remained fixed on me.
“But now I want to hear about Ling. Can you tell this great-grandfather?”
“Of course. Naturally.”
I had long been prepared for where to start explaining once Am-wang awakened.
I laid out as briefly as possible how Grandmother came to the Demonic Sect, how she happened to take me in and raise me as her granddaughter, and about our life over the past 17 years.
“Our Ling has been living under the shadow of the Demonic Sect!”
Eok Grandfather, who had endured by not giving up hope that his daughter was hiding somewhere, sighed repeatedly as he listened to my story.
Since he fully understood what Grandmother, who had been the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance Dark Affairs Unit, must have been thinking when she went to the Demonic Sect, it must have been painful.
Though he had accepted me as his great-granddaughter despite knowing I was a demon practitioner, to a martial artist walking the righteous path, the Demonic Sect was something that should rightfully disappear from this world.
The endless conflict between the righteous and demonic was the foundation of martial arts novels.
In any novel I had read, I had never seen the righteous sects and Demonic Sect interact.
How I had ended up in this middle position was both astounding and fascinating.
“But Great-grandfather, there’s something more urgent right now.”
“Yes, we need to find Ling.”
As if he had already been thinking about it, Am-wang brought up Grandmother’s name.
“Don’t be shocked.”
I gave Eok Grandfather a warning first.
No matter how much rejuvenation he had undergone, this was about his child.
Worried that it might strain Grandfather’s heart, I hesitated before speaking.
“I found out where Grandmother is.”
“How wonderful! Where is that place?”
Am-wang brightened and half-rose from his seat. Having been unable to see his daughter for 17 years, how much he must miss and long for her.
I forced my reluctant lips to part and stammered out my confession.
“It’s… Sh-Shaolin… Temple.”
“Shaolin Temple?”
“Why is our Ling there?”
I gulped.
I don’t want to shock you even more…
“I think she went to steal the Daehwandan to cure Great-grandfather.”
