Chapter 145

“Wow! Now my eyes can finally rest easy.”

It had been quite noisy for a while, but after giving everything a thorough renovation, the overall appearance of the buildings had completely changed.

“Good! Very good!”

As befitting one of the Five Great Families, this is how it should be.

I linked arms with Grandmother and nodded with satisfaction as we strolled around various parts of the Dang Family grounds like we were taking a leisurely walk.

“What kind of grown woman talks like some middle-aged man?”

Look who’s talking.

“What about you, Grandmother? Shouldn’t you either change your face back or restore your way of speaking? Every time you use dialect, Great-grandfather still flinches.”

“This is all because of you!”

I smoothly dodged the incoming palm strike.

“Why are you like this, Grandmother? Even with my cultivation sealed, I’m still a supreme master of the Buddhist sect. I can easily dodge something like this.”

“Is that so? Then shall this old woman come at you seriously?”

“Oh come on, why do you have to respond so menacingly?”

I rubbed my cheek against Grandmother’s shoulder.

“How do you like it, Grandmother? Are you happy with the repairs?”

“Of course I am. It’s so splendid, it feels like we’ve returned to the old days.”

“Great-grandfather likes it too, right?”

“Even though he doesn’t say anything special, he seems to like it.”

“What about Uncle?”

“Your uncle likes it too. He’d be happier than anyone.”

How much mental anguish must he have suffered trying to fill the void left by Eok Grandfather?

I knew that Grandmother felt most sorry toward Dang Jong-ryeong, her older brother.

“What about Uncle Dang?”

“Lee Seong-i? That boy would like it too.”

“What about Aunt Dang?”

“Hye-un too…”

“The little great-grandfather who’s the head of the Detoxification Hall also likes…”

“Child, stop it!”

Smack!

“Are you planning to mention relatives up to eighth cousins?”

Ugh! I couldn’t dodge that one.

Now she’s deliberately throwing back strikes like throwing hidden weapons.

Just wait until I return to headquarters.

I’ll unseal my cultivation and dodge everything!

“Huh? That guy?”

Just then, Dang Yong-jin came into my view.

That mudskipper-like bastard who had his corn stolen by me and got smacked on the back of the head before.

“Eek!”

Tsk tsk, as soon as our eyes met, he was busy tucking his tail and running away.

“Grandmother, what are his father and grandfather doing these days?”

“What else? He got beaten half to death by his father and is in confinement. Your great-grandfather may be kind to you, but when he’s angry, he’s terrifyingly scary.”

“He should have just behaved well. Why did he do that?”

Since Eok Grandfather is his real younger brother, he probably can’t completely cast him out.

Well, now that Grandfather has reached the Transcendent realm and even achieved rejuvenation, he won’t dare act up.

‘Hey, you. I’m watching you. Got it?’

Dang Yong-jin, who was running away, glanced back at me.

I pointed at my eyes with my finger, then pointed directly at him.

“Eek!”

He disappeared quickly in terror.

Ah, so refreshing.

So the next thing to worry about is the Cheongyeon Assembly?

Grandmother doesn’t know, but I’ve made the Cheongyeon Assembly the signal for the Dang Family’s spectacular revival.

It’s like the foundation stone for bringing down Namgung and Moyong.

Chirp chirp.

Finally, the long-awaited day had dawned.

“Seolha, the guests will arrive soon. Shall we go greet them together?”

Dang Hye-un walked out of her room beautifully dressed.

“Aunt Dang, you look so pretty!”

Even though I picked out the clothes, they really suit her well.

She wore a light green palace dress with matching shoes, along with appropriate accessories and makeup.

I liked it even more because it looked just like Grandmother’s old appearance.

“What about Uncle Dang?”

“Your uncle already went out.”

“Oh, really? Then let’s hurry and go too.”

I was curious about the faces of the young masters from the Five Great Families.

I took Dang Hye-un’s hand and hummed as we headed toward the main gate.

Clatter clatter! Clatter clatter!

The sound of wheels rolling grew louder and louder until finally a carriage stopped in front of us.

Soon the door opened and two men stepped out from inside.

‘What? Are you guys quarterbacks or something?’

When two tall, muscular men who looked like they came straight out of a teen movie appeared, my jaw literally dropped.

“Elder Brother! Have you been well?”

Befitting their build, they greeted heartily too.

“As you can see, we’ve been doing very well. Haha!”

Even their laughter was twice as loud as others.

“Seolha, come greet them. These are Young Master Peng Gi-jun and Young Master Peng Gi-o from the Peng Clan of Hebei. The two are brothers.”

“I am Peng Gi-jun.”

“Pleased to meet you. I am called Peng Gi-o.”

I immediately recognized they were from the Peng family.

Should I say they looked exactly as described in martial arts novels?

“This is my niece…”

“Cheon-sin-mun!”

Before our Uncle Dang had even finished speaking, Peng Gi-o looked at me and shouted.

Has the rumor already spread that far?

Hebei is quite distant.

“Hello. I am Seolha.”

I politely greeted the Peng brothers.

“By any chance, is Cheon-sin-mun related to the Buddhist sect?”

Peng Gi-jun seemed to sense the faint aura of Daehwandan emanating from me and asked with admiration.

“It’s just a connection I happened to make.”

Let’s just gloss over this.

At this rate, I might really end up reciting Buddhist scriptures.

I heard the shortest one is the Heart Sutra.

I seriously considered it for a moment.

“The young lady has accomplished something remarkable.”

You’re talking about the Lankavatara Sutra, right?

“Not at all. I simply did what needed to be done.”

“I’ll offer you a drink later, young lady. Please look forward to it.”

It seemed he wanted to hear the story about obtaining the Neungga Dog manual.

I’m going to be talking my mouth off for a while.

Still, he seems to have a good impression and personality.

I was slightly worried since these were characters I hadn’t seen in the original work, but these two passed.

Alright, next!

Not long after Dang I-seong took the two inside, another guest arrived immediately.

The protagonist was Yeon U-seong, the young master of the Yeon family I had been waiting and waiting for. He flew toward us lightly like a swift swallow.

‘As expected, he’s a master of movement techniques.’

“Have you been well? You look truly beautiful today.”

As soon as he saw Dang Hye-un, Yeon U-seong showered her with compliments.

“Please exchange greetings. This is my niece.”

In contrast, our Aunt Dang was indescribably cold.

Yeon U-seong, whose gaze had been fixed on Dang Hye-un the entire time, finally turned to look at me.

“Hello… there?”

Yeah, hello. We know each other, right?

But for today, I’ll pretend not to know you, okay?

“I’m Seolha.”

I played dumb before Yeon U-seong could act familiar.

At least he had some sense – he tilted his head but ultimately didn’t say anything more.

“Please come in, Young Master Yeon.”

Dang Hye-un gestured for me to wait a moment and guided Yeon U-seong inside.

‘Playing matchmaker between those two won’t be easy.’

Just as I was looking at distant mountains and pondering deeply,

A splendid two-horse carriage stopped in front of the main gate.

Who is it this time?

As I waited with anticipation, the man sitting on the driver’s seat quickly jumped down, placed a footstep, and opened the door while bowing.

That entire process was so swift and natural that it wasn’t something done just once or twice.

“Is this the place?”

A man in black martial robes with a sword was the first to get out.

Behind him, a woman in similar colored light armor stepped down gracefully.

Their similar faces suggested they were siblings.

“Ah, we finally arrived.”

Next was a man in white martial robes carrying a spear. Following him, a woman also carrying a spear jumped down energetically.

‘Come on, it’s you guys.’

In order, that would be Mo Yong-hu, Mo Yong-cheong-a, Yang Ja-seong, and Yang Ha-rin.

I’ve done my homework.

The more you know, the better you can mess with them.

“What? Why is no one here?”

Mo Yong-hu threw a tantrum as soon as he got down, not even seeming to notice me.

“The Dang Family has been a bit like that lately.”

Yang Ja-seong pretended to console him sluggishly.

“Really, how undignified.”

Mo Yong-hu clicked his tongue and looked around, finally spotting me and beckoning with his finger.

“Hey!”

What?

Instead of speaking, I raised my eyes.

“Go tell them that the Great Moyong Family and Shinchang Yang Clan have arrived.”

What?

Don’t you see how I’m dressed?

Are your eyes crooked, or can’t you recognize me because I’m not Dang Hye-un?

I was swallowing a hollow laugh at his sudden informal speech and commands when Yang Ja-seong pushed Mo Yong-hu’s shoulder playfully.

“Isn’t it a bit much to only put ‘Great’ in front of Moyong?”

“If the Shinchang Yang Clan wants ‘Great’ attached too, push out the Dang Family and rise to the Five Great Families. Then I’ll attach it.”

Wow, what kind of crazy bastards are these?

I expected it, but it’s worse than I thought?

“I heard Brother Namgung San can’t come this time? Sister Cheong-a must be disappointed.”

“It can’t be helped. Why are such rumors even spreading…”

“There are even rumors that Am-wang is at the present level.”

Yang Ha-rin shrugged her shoulders and suddenly glared at me.

“What are you doing not going?”

“What do you mean what am I doing? I’m watching you guys.”

“…What?”

Yang Ha-rin’s eyes widened, seemingly very surprised by my response.

“Sister, I didn’t just mishear that, did I?”

“No. You heard correctly.”

She asked Mo Yong-cheong-a, but I kindly answered for her.

“Oh my, I’m so dumbfounded I can’t even speak. Is she crazy? Do you even know who I am?”

“Do you know who I am?”

“Brother!”

Yang Ha-rin screamed and called for her brother.

“Do something about her. She’s annoying!”

Yang Ja-seong, who had been chatting trivially with Mo Yong-hu, looked at me and frowned.

“What? Why are you still there? Aren’t you going to announce us inside?”

What should I do about this?

Forget the Cheongyeon Branch and everything else, should I just attack them here?

I was momentarily caught in serious conflict.
