Chapter 58

“What are you talking about, senior.”

Bandit Grandfather wasn’t flustered at all upon seeing Alliance Leader Yeon Un-jang, but rather snorted dismissively.

“What brings such a busy man here in the middle of the night? Don’t tell me you came to capture me? With just that many people?”

As Bandit Grandfather glanced around outside the inn and spoke sarcastically, Am-jon Grandfather clicked his tongue and scolded him.

“Tsk tsk, that temper of yours.”

“What? Temper?”

“Isn’t your way of speaking completely wrong!”

Am-jon Grandfather raised his voice again at Bandit Grandfather who was getting agitated.

Though the wording was a bit harsh, to me it wasn’t much different from their usual behavior.

However, it didn’t seem that way to Chief Strategist Jegal Mun-gi.

“Am-jon Elder!”

He looked at Am-jon Grandfather with pleading eyes and begged.

“Please restrain yourself.”

It seemed he thought Am-jon Grandfather might listen since they were at least from the same Jeongpa faction.

‘Actually, considering their personalities, that side is more dangerous…’

Perhaps due to experiencing so many ups and downs in his life, Am-jon Grandfather had some anger management issues.

And Bandit Grandfather knew this too.

“This old fool sure knows how to restrain himself!”

“Ho Jeon senior!”

“What? Are you trying to pressure me just because I’m alone?”

A fierce aura surged from Bandit Grandfather.

Receiving that aura head-on, Yeon Un-jang explained.

“This is just procedure according to Martial Arts Alliance policy regarding your sudden appearance in Wuhan, so please don’t misunderstand.”

“That damn procedure is ridiculous!”

“Come now, that’s enough.”

Thanks to Jegal Mun-gi’s efforts, Am-jon Grandfather stepped in to mediate.

“Alliance Leader, I’ll take responsibility, so can you withdraw your warriors?”

At Am-jon Grandfather’s request, Yeon Un-jang nodded and stepped back.

As if he had sent a telepathic message, the armed forces surrounding the inn quickly dispersed.

“Now can you tell us? How did you come to Wuhan?”

“I walked here with my own two feet. Is there some problem with that?”

“Of course you’re free to come, but…”

Yeon Un-jang held back his words.

Though he wasn’t among the Ten Martial Arts Masters, he was the Alliance Leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, which could be called a pillar of Jeongpa.

At first he had shown courtesy and yielded since Bandit Grandfather was his senior, but his tone revealed he could no longer do so.

“Why are you stopping mid-sentence? Are you telling me to get lost immediately since Wuhan is Martial Arts Alliance territory?”

“That’s not what I meant.”

As Bandit Grandfather’s reaction grew prickly, Yeon Un-jang’s voice also turned cold.

“You need to tell us what business brought you to Wuhan so we can respond accordingly.”

“Haha, respond?”

Bandit Grandfather burst into incredulous laughter.

“Did you just say respond?”

He’s even nitpicking word choices now.

At this rate, there was no way the conversation could progress.

“Sigh.”

Finally, I sighed and stood up from my seat.

“…Miss Tak?”

“No, how is Cheon-sin Bosal here…?”

Even though I was sitting in the corner.

How surprised must they have been to only notice me now.

It was a night when I suddenly felt sorry for both of them.

“Guan Yin Bodhisattva.”

I smiled awkwardly and greeted them with joined palms for now.

“Huh? Cheon-sin Bosal?”

“Why is my great-granddaughter a Bodhisattva?”

“That’s what I’m saying. Where did Cheon-sin Geom-hwa go?”

Both grandfathers’ eyes widened at my new title.

I put aside talk about that for later and first explained to the two pitiful men why I was here.

“Well, I was meeting with Grandfather.”

Yeon Un-jang and Jegal Mun-gi’s gazes naturally turned to Am-jon Grandfather.

The relationship between Grandmother and me was famous even within the Martial Arts Alliance.

“I came to see my great-granddaughter.”

“Ah, I see.”

Yeon Un-jang and Jegal Mun-gi nodded at Am-jon Grandfather’s answer, then looked at Bandit Grandfather this time.

Am-jon Grandfather was one thing, but why him? The expression was clear on their faces.

Then Bandit Grandfather shouted loudly.

“I’m also a grandfather!”

Yes, you are indeed a grandfather.

With the truth finally revealed, I snapped to attention.

I needed to handle this situation well.

It would be unfair if I were misunderstood as a Seopa spy or something.

“What in the…?”

“Are you saying that Ho Jeon senior is Cheon-sin Bosal’s grandfather right now?”

“Yes, he is my paternal grandfather.”

“…Cheon-sin Bosal, jokes can go too far.”

I wish it were a joke too.

“He really is my grandfather. Alliance Leader and Chief Strategist, you both know I was slightly injured fighting Tam-rang, right? He heard about that and came rushing here like this. Hahaha.”

While explaining, I also openly revealed why both grandfathers had come.

“…!”

Alliance Leader Yeon Un-jang’s pupils shook.

Jegal Mun-gi was also so shocked he just stood there with his mouth agape.

At times like this, the best I could do was just smile.

Grin.

“Are you the Chief Strategist?”

Then Bandit Grandfather looked for Jegal Mun-gi.

“Yes, that’s correct.”

“Then you know well. That I have a lost son.”

“…I know.”

“Seolha is that son’s daughter.”

Bandit Grandfather gazed at me with profound eyes.

“I only found out recently myself.”

“Isn’t this truly a terrible situation?”

Excuse me, Am-jon Grandfather?

Why are you suddenly acting up again at this timing!

“What? A terrible situation?”

Bandit Grandfather’s eyes flashed as he glared at Am-jon Grandfather.

“My cute great-granddaughter’s paternal grandfather is the leader of Sado-ryeon! If this isn’t a terrible situation, what is?”

“You don’t even share blood, so where do you get off claiming to be a great-grandfather! Step-great-grandfather should just back off!”

“The love of raising someone is greater than the love of giving birth!”

“Are you done talking? Huh?”

Bandit Grandfather already felt great guilt over losing his son. His body trembled with an inferiority complex about not being able to raise me, his granddaughter.

“You were the first one to subtly emphasize bloodlines at the end of every sentence!”

Here we go again, here we go again.

This guy’s unchanging repertoire whenever they meet.

I was absolutely sick of it too.

“Alliance Leader.”

“…Speak.”

“Chief Strategist.”

“…I’m listening.”

“You asked me earlier why I was here, didn’t you?”

“Y-yes, I did.”

“Could you ask me that question just one more time?”

“…What were you doing here?”

At my request, Alliance Leader Yeon Un-jang asked as if entranced.

I rolled up my sleeves and answered.

“This young lady was preventing a great war between the righteous and evil factions.”

“I-I see.”

“So that’s what it was…”

The verbal fight between Bandit Grandfather and Am-jon Grandfather was escalating into a battle of auras.

Oh no, here they go again!

I need to step in before the inn collapses.

“Grandfathers?”

At my gentle voice, the air flowing inside the inn instantly became calm.

“Would you two please sit down again?”

“Should we?”

“If our granddaughter tells us to sit, we should sit!”

Completely unaware of how Yeon Un-jang and Jegal Mun-gi were looking at them, Bandit Grandfather and Am-jon Grandfather immediately sat down.

“Come now, everyone have a drink.”

Nothing beats alcohol for getting close to people.

I picked up the wine bottle myself to refresh the atmosphere.

“I’ll pour for the Alliance Leader first. Chief Strategist, please hold out your cup too.”

I filled the cups of Yeon Un-jang, Jegal Mun-gi, and even Eok I-geon, who was still dissatisfied with this situation.

The two grandfathers remained.

As expected, they were glaring at each other, insisting they should be served first.

I knew this would happen.

Barely suppressing a sigh, I activated my Buddhist power.

Clink. Clink.

The bottle containing the wine moved as if dancing on the table.

Then, moments later, the wine shot up into the air like a fountain.

“Hyup!”

I pulled the wine floating in the air with my Buddhist power and poured it into both grandfathers’ cups.

Since I couldn’t use any demonic energy due to the Blood Bone Powder, my internal energy consumption was considerable.

I hadn’t trained in aerial object manipulation to use it like this.

“Whew!”

Just pouring wine once is exhausting.

I roughly wiped the sweat on my forehead with my sleeve.

Yeon Un-jang and Jegal Mun-gi looked up at me with bewildered eyes.

“If I pour for one of them first, they’ll fight again.”

You already experienced that once just now, didn’t you?

“Ah…”

“So that’s how…”

With the grandfathers right next to them, the two trailed off their words. I could somehow imagine what they were going to say.

“This is how I work for the peace of the martial arts world.”

I’d appreciate it if you could acknowledge that.

‘What would I have done if Grandpa Tak had been here too?’

The thought alone made me dizzy.

He must have heard news about me, but seeing that he didn’t come looking, he was indeed the most rational among the three.

At that moment, at Macheondeon.

“Why is Tak Ga-ju still not here?”

It seemed like quite some time had passed since he was summoned, but with no word at all, Cheonma Eok Yeo-gwang frowned.

Just then, the door opened and someone unexpected appeared.

“Tak Mu-seong, Young Master of the Hyeon-ma Tak Family, pays respects to Cheonma.”

He respectfully bowed and greeted.

Cheonma asked with puzzlement.

“Why have you come? Has something happened to Tak Ga-ju?”

“No, sir. The family head has urgently departed for Jungwon.”

“To Jungwon? Could it be…”

Cheonma’s eyes narrowed.

“Wuhan?”

“Yes.”

“It’s because of Seolha.”

Cheonma was exasperated.

“I personally sent my second son!”

“That’s not it…”

“Is there another reason?”

“He said he couldn’t feel at ease because of those two old geezers…”
