Chapter 205

Haha!

Master, who had made eye contact with me, leaped into the air. Then he leisurely walked toward me, using the empty sky as his path.

Could this possibly be a dream?

I sincerely hoped so and pinched my thigh hard.

‘Ack!’

I almost screamed from the vivid pain.

If it hurt this much, it was definitely damn reality.

‘Huuk.’

I must have pinched too hard because tears welled up in my eyes for a moment.

“Seolha.”

Master’s gentle voice reached me from above my head.

“Child, did you miss your master that much?”

…Eh?

When I looked up, Master bent down and wiped away the tears that had formed in my eyes.

Of course I thought about Master sometimes.

‘Since I have sins to atone for.’

But there was no need to be honest in this situation.

“Master…”

I nodded and deliberately put on an even more pitiful expression.

“Oh! Is the great hero Seolha’s master?”

It was when I was taking Master’s hand to get up.

Uncle Wang’s head suddenly popped out from the side.

“Another disciple from the mysterious sect Cheon-sin-mun has come! How delightful! I am Wang Dang of the Mad Fist.”

For reference, Uncle Wang had shown unusual interest in Cheon-sin-mun all this time.

He would ask me various things, saying a new major sect had appeared in Gangho.

Swoosh.

Master’s gaze, which had been focused on me, shifted to Uncle Wang.

My heart was pounding nervously.

What if Master got angry here asking what Cheon-sin-mun was?

Then it would all be over.

‘Master, please…’

Perhaps my desperate feelings reached him.

Fortunately, Master said nothing.

He just looked at Uncle Wang with eyes that seemed to say ‘What is this?’

“Was my voice too quiet?”

When Master didn’t respond, Uncle Wang tilted his head and introduced himself again.

“Ah, I am a third-class disciple of Gaebang and serve as the branch leader of Hefei. I also have very deep ties with Lady Dang who entrusted herself to Cheon-sin-mun. What might be the name of our niece Seolha’s master?”

“Wh, Uncle Wang!”

How dare you ask Cheonma for his name? Are you crazy?

You could die for that!

Of course he was doing this because he didn’t know Master’s identity, but I couldn’t stand by any longer.

“I’ll take questions later. Go finish the food you were eating. Okay?”

I was determined to drag Uncle Wang away before Master exploded.

But what was happening here.

“Look, look, this is going too far, isn’t it?”

Uncle Wang suddenly went into overdrive and shouted.

“When someone is speaking in front of you, how can you not respond even once? Are you ignoring me because I’m a beggar, or what?”

“Uncle, stop it! Are you drunk?”

Since it was a good day, I had prepared only expensive liquor, and it seemed he had drunk quite a lot already.

Every time Uncle Wang opened his mouth, the smell of alcohol wafted out.

“Our Master is a scary person.”

I whispered very quietly into Uncle Wang’s ear.

I said this hoping he would calm down a bit, but instead Uncle Wang pushed me away and burst into angry shouting.

“I’m also a well-known mad dog in our neighborhood! Want me to show you what happens when you get bitten by a mad dog? Huh?”

In the original story, he rose to the rank of seventh-class elder, but in this life, he was definitely going wrong.

‘He might die here…!’

Seeing Master’s lips curl up on one side, I squeezed my eyes shut.

“Ugh, you crazy fool!”

It was then that Grandmother, unable to watch any longer, stepped forward.

“Aack! Lady Dang!”

Grandmother grabbed Uncle Wang’s ear and pulled.

“It hurts! I said it hurts!”

“Let’s talk after you sober up.”

Uncle Wang flinched at Grandmother’s sharp gaze.

Regardless, Grandmother pressed Uncle Wang’s pressure point.

It was truly a wise choice for everyone’s sake.

“Baek I-gyeom!”

Grandmother hoisted Uncle Wang onto her shoulder and called the Dark Four leader.

“This won’t do because of this fool. Since Cheon-sin-mun needs to have a long-awaited reunion, let’s disembark and find an inn for drinks!”

“Are you paying, Special Agent?”

“Of course I’m paying, do you want to pay?”

“Don’t forget to bring the money pouch! Cheolhyeoldae leader, let’s go!”

“Amitabha.”

Since the atmosphere had been getting grim after Master appeared, everyone seemed happy to step forward.

“Please take the ship we brought from headquarters.”

Uncle Gong Pae-cheon tactfully offered the ship Master had arrived on.

Fortunately, it was a large ship that could hold all of the Dark Four and Cheolhyeoldae with room to spare.

“Lady Dang.”

“I’ll just set things up and come quickly.”

“Alright.”

Grandmother whispered to Uncle Gong Pae-cheon and quickly led her subordinates to transfer to the other ship.

‘Phew!’

Now there was no one on our ship who didn’t know about Master’s existence.

I was greatly relieved by this fact.

Because the worry about my identity being discovered had also disappeared.

“We greet Cheonma!”

“We greet Cheonma!”

Uncle Gong Pae-cheon, along with Cheon-gang and Seo-ryeon, belatedly prostrated themselves in greeting, but their bodies were straightened before their knees could touch the floor.

Ooh!

As expected of our Master!

“Enough.”

He cleanly settled it with one word and looked around the surroundings.

Master’s gaze stopped where Eok Grandfather and Bandit Grandfather were standing.

Gulp.

A different kind of tension from before arrived.

Orthodox, unorthodox, demonic.

Three people who had reached the highest positions in their respective domains had met.

This would be an unprecedented event.

I prayed that Chaohu wouldn’t be turned upside down again.

“I am Ho Jeon No Yeom-baek, Seolha’s grandfather. It’s an honor to meet someone whose name is placed at the very top of the Ten Masters. Hahaha!”

Bandit Grandfather greeted him with hearty laughter.

If he knew that Master killed my birth father No Jong-un, he definitely wouldn’t be laughing like that.

I praised myself for not going into such detail.

“…Grandfather?”

Master furrowed his brow and looked at me.

“Well, you see. What happened was…”

I explained what had happened as briefly as possible.

“So you’re saying Seolha has a star-shaped mark on her shoulder, and it’s hereditary?”

“Yes.”

“But you’re not certain if No Jong-un had the mark?”

“Yes.”

“Then he might not be your grandfather.”

“…That’s right.”

Our Master doesn’t seem to like Bandit Grandfather.

I could tell just from his tone.

“It’s the first star mark I’ve found in my lifetime! Seolha is definitely my granddaughter!”

Bandit Grandfather’s repertoire started again.

“That’s why I said I’d be your granddaughter.”

It wasn’t a difficult thing for me. Having one grandfather each in the orthodox and unorthodox paths would only be good for me.

I calmed down Bandit Grandfather and then introduced Eok Grandfather.

“This is Grandmother’s father, Eok Grandfather.”

“I’m Dang Cheol-woo. Seolha’s great-grandfather.”

“Great-grandfather…”

When Master looked exasperated, wondering if now even a great-grandfather was appearing, Eok Grandfather’s eyes curved menacingly.

I quickly added before Grandfather could get angry.

“Anyway, I’ve decided to serve all three of you as grandfathers, including my maternal grandfather! You understand, Master?”

I knew that Cheonma melted at the title of Master.

When I spoke with emphasis, Master finally nodded, saying he understood.

Good.

That went well!

“Seolha.”

While I was feeling proud by myself, Master spoke in a meaningful tone.

“I wonder if you’ve ever heard these words.”

“What words?”

“Since ancient times, they’ve said ‘master and parent are one.'”

Huh?

It seems like something is missing from the front.

“The grace of teacher and parents is as high as heaven, so one should appreciate their efforts.”

So what?

What are you trying to say?

Master asked me as I blinked and stared at him.

“Among them, whose grace do you consider the highest?”

“Pardon?”

What kind of nonsensical question is that all of a sudden?

Isn’t that too childish?

Though I asked back in a roundabout way, in essence, Master was asking which one I would choose among the four.

Just as I was pondering whether this might be a side effect of overflowing affection for a disciple taken in his later years.

“Of course it should be me! Seolha is my one and only granddaughter who will carry on my surname! No matter if you’re her master, I can’t yield on that!”

Bandit Grandfather was the first to fall for Master’s childish provocation.

Then even Eok Grandfather stepped forward.

“They say the bond of raising is fearsome, and our great-granddaughter said so! To Seolha, our Ryeong-i and this great-grandfather should come first above all!”

“Originally, affection runs deeper on the maternal side than the paternal side. Isn’t that right, Cult Leader?”

…Excuse me?

Grandpa Tak?

What do I do if even Grandfather acts like this!

In times like this, you could just say one word like “a master’s grace is the highest” and we could get past this simply!

Why are you provoking the sensitive Master!

“Oh ho, do you all truly think so?”

Master’s voice changed ominously.

“Then let’s settle this directly.”

Swoooosh!

Demonic energy that bloomed in an instant swallowed the entire area.

The ship swayed from that tremendous force.

If such a large ship could shake this much, smaller boats would capsize and then some.

Just as I was about to shout to stop Master.

“That won’t do!”

“I have a sick eighty-year-old mother!”

“Cult Leader, the children are starving!”

The three grandfathers shouted while watching my reaction.

“…What are you saying?”

Naturally, Master also turned to look at me.

“Master.”

“Yes.”

“Could we have a private conversation for a moment?”
