Chapter 210

“Grandmother.”

“Yes, my child.”

I hugged Grandmother tightly as she was leaving for the Martial Arts Alliance to make her final report for the special mission.

I wanted to follow Grandmother too, but there was nothing for me to do at the Alliance.

I was planning to go to the Moyong Family with Eok Grandfather and punish them as a member of the Dang Family.

“I’ll handle everything perfectly, including Grandmother’s share!”

I thrust my hand into the air, mimicking striking down enemies.

“Seolha.”

“Yes?”

“You’re a martial artist now, so you won’t be able to avoid seeing blood in your life. Still, this grandmother hopes my child will stay away from bloodshed as much as possible. You understand what I mean, don’t you?”

“I’m still not comfortable with seeing blood either.”

“Your great-grandfather will take care of everything, so don’t act up and try to step forward unnecessarily. Understand?”

“I won’t act up. So stop worrying, Grandmother, and hurry up and go. Look, your subordinates are waiting over there.”

The Am Sa-dae and Cheol Hyeol-dae were already waiting outside the inn.

“Father, please take good care of Seolha.”

Grandmother stroked my cheek several times before turning to look at Eok Grandfather.

“Would a father let his great-granddaughter get hurt? And look at those two old men. If even a small scratch appears on Seolha’s body, the Moyong Family would face complete annihilation that very day.”

Eok Grandfather glared at one side with a displeased look.

There stood Grandpa Tak and Bandit Grandfather side by side.

“Ahem.”

“Hmm!”

They had been so adamant about not being able to send me to the battlefield alone that we had no choice but to agree that both of them would accompany me.

Of course, that didn’t mean they would participate in the fighting.

This battle was solely a war between the Sichuan Dang Family and the Moyong Family.

“Lord Dang, don’t worry. I’ll stick right by her side.”

“I’m counting on you, Young Master.”

Only after Eok I-geon stepped forward did Grandmother finally take her leave.

“We have a long way to go. Let’s hurry as well.”

As soon as we finished seeing Grandmother off, we also departed for Shenyang, Liaoning Province, where the Moyong Family was located.

The price for Grandmother’s wrongful 17 years was finally just one last step away.

Clip-clop, clip-clop, clip-clop!

Moving diligently to match the timing with the Nokgi-dae who had departed earlier, we ended up camping outdoors instead of staying at an inn today.

After having a simple dinner of jerky and dried fruits, we sat around the campfire to ease our drowsiness.

“My granddaughter, aren’t you tired?”

“A little? But I’m okay.”

One session of energy circulation would solve it.

“Still, it would be good to sleep soon. One must sleep well to stay healthy.”

Smiling broadly at Eok Grandfather’s words, I looked up at the night sky.

It didn’t feel like very late at night, but being in the forest made it feel like deep night.

“Let me see.”

Eok Grandfather began pulling grass from nearby to make a sleeping area.

Should I show off my skills for once too?

I stretched and got up from my seat, following Grandfather.

Then I suddenly remembered my first time camping outdoors.

When I was Eok I-geon’s personal maid, I followed him to the black market and experienced camping for the first time, something I had only seen in novels.

That was also a memory that came back to me vividly.

‘Heh!’

Back then, I was so scared of Eok I-geon that I was constantly watching his mood.

I realized anew how much my position had changed.

I habitually touched the red ring that Eok I-geon had bought for me back then.

Hm?

Then I saw Eok Grandfather rubbing his palms together and drying the grass with his Sammaejinhwa flame.

The grass Grandfather had pulled instantly transformed into a pile of hay, becoming a cozy bed.

‘Oh, Sammaejinhwa can be used like that too!’

I had plenty of internal energy but was still a martial arts novice, so I could only be amazed.

What about the other grandfathers?

Since they all probably had rich experience, I became curious about their respective know-how.

‘Wow, Grandpa Tak made a roof?’

He had woven tree branches together to create a kind of canopy, though I didn’t know when he had completed it.

It would be perfect for avoiding the night dew.

‘Oh my?’

But what surprised me most was Bandit Grandfather.

‘What on earth is he doing?’

Bandit Grandfather suddenly started digging the ground and made a shallow pit.

Then he took stones from the campfire, put them in the pit, and covered them with soil.

Was this why he had put stones in the campfire earlier?

‘But why is Eok I-geon acting like that?’

Eok I-geon, who had been staring intently at Bandit Grandfather packing down the ground, soon began following Grandfather’s movements.

He very meticulously and carefully executed the series of actions: digging a pit, putting in stones, then covering them with soil again.

“Heh heh, well done. I roasted plenty of stones for my prospective grandson-in-law to use.”

“Thank you.”

“How is it?”

Bandit Grandfather asked Eok I-geon while placing his hand on the ground and glancing at Grandpa Tak and Eok Grandfather.

“It’s good.”

“Right?”

“Yes.”

“A sleeping place should naturally be warm. It will stay quite warm until morning.”

“Seolha.”

Eok I-geon gestured and called me over.

“What?”

“Lie down here.”

Eok I-geon spread a blanket over the ground where he had buried the stones and had me lie down.

“Oh my!”

As soon as I lay down, I unintentionally made a sound like an old man.

The ground was as warm as an ondol floor.

“Ahhhh!”

As my back warmed up pleasantly, I quickly melted into a puddle.

“Ahh, this feels so good!”

I momentarily had the illusion of being at a jjimjilbang.

To think I had forgotten about something this wonderful.

Somehow I felt like my body would feel much more refreshed after sleeping.

“I’m glad our granddaughter likes it!”

Bandit Grandfather smiled brightly while looking at me.

As expected of the leader of Nok-lim Sip-pal-chae.

I guarantee there couldn’t be a more perfect sleeping place than this.

“Tsk!”

“….”

Hearing my exclamation, Am-wang Grandfather and Grandpa Tak came over and casually reached out to touch the floor.

What appeared on both their faces was a bitter sense of defeat.

“Euhahahaha!”

Bandit Grandfather burst into the winner’s laughter and brought the hay that Am-wang Grandfather had dried to spread on the warm floor.

Then he even tore off Grandpa Tak’s roof to cover it.

“Rest well tonight in the place this old man made. Got it? Hahaha!”

Bandit Grandfather’s triumphant laughter echoed through the mountains like an echo for a while.

Several days later.

“We’ve arrived!”

We finally entered Shenyang, Liaoning Province.

Ah, how long I had waited for this moment.

For Grandmother’s revenge?

No!

Of course that was important too, but it was more for my own sake.

After the sleeping quarters incident, Bandit Grandfather’s shoulders had risen so high they didn’t know the sky was the limit.

That was the beginning of the problem.

Am-wang Grandfather and Grandpa Tak were constantly looking for opportunities to restore their collapsed granddaughter-loving pride.

Since these were people with tremendous competitive spirits who were making even more of a fuss, my mental fatigue from having to bear it all was considerable.

Was this the sorrow of being popular?

Since it was a life I had never experienced in my current existence, I thought it was nice, but on the other hand, it was exhausting.

But what could I do?

I had no choice but to accept my fate, considering it the trials of being loved.

I already knew it was much better than being lonely and alone.

‘Still, today I’m going to enjoy some time to myself!’

To enjoy compensation for being tormented by the three grandfathers, it was urgent that I hole up in an inn for about a day, laze around, and have some time to myself.

I’ll even eat meals in my room.

Room service was exactly what I needed most right now.

“So that’s the place.”

Just as I was making my resolution, Am-wang Grandfather spoke while looking somewhere.

At the end of the road that stretched along the main street.

There stood a massive manor towering high.

Not only was its scale impressive, but it was surprising that despite being in the middle of the city, there were no buildings nearby at all.

They said the Moyong Family was the hegemon of Liaoning Province, and their influence seemed greater than I thought.

“How is it?”

“It’s nothing special.”

No matter how big the Moyong Family’s manor was, could it compare to the Cheonma Sect’s fortress?

“Euhahahahaha!”

Pleased with my answer, Am-wang Grandfather burst into hearty laughter.

“As expected, our daughter raised her great-granddaughter well.”

“Of course.”

At Grandfather’s praise, I lifted my chin and shrugged my shoulders.

That’s when it happened.

“We pay our respects to the Supreme Family Head!”

Suddenly, a man in green martial robes dropped from the sky.

He was Dang Seon-jong, the leader of the Green Flag Group. I had seen him once in passing when I was staying with the Dang Family along with Grandmother.

“We pay our respects to the Supreme Family Head!”

“We pay our respects to the Supreme Family Head!”

Led by Leader Dang Seon-jong, Green Flag Group members revealed themselves from everywhere.

In the blink of an eye, the main road in front of the Moyong Family was packed with the Green Flag Group.

“Wow…”

An exclamation burst out without me realizing it.

They said the Green Flag Group was the Dang Family’s supreme military organization, and the aura they emanated was incredible.

Though the war hadn’t even started yet, they already seemed to be standing on a blood-splattered battlefield.

I wasn’t the only one surprised.

I could see the martial artists guarding the Moyong Family’s main gate hurriedly running inside.

“This should be enough of a declaration of war.”

Am-wang Grandfather’s eyes glaring at the Moyong Family held a color I had never seen before.
