Chapter 59

“Could we have a moment to talk?”

After several rounds of drinks, the hostile atmosphere had somewhat stabilized.

Seizing this opportunity, Jegal Mun-gi carefully approached Bandit Grandfather.

“What is there to discuss between you and me? I’m just here to quietly meet my granddaughter and leave, so don’t mind me.”

Bandit Grandfather said there was nothing to talk about and completely shut down the conversation.

“Senior Ho Jeon.”

Then Alliance Leader Yeon Un-jang stepped forward.

“Why do you keep bothering me? I said I’ll stay quiet and then leave.”

“It’s not that, we have something urgent to discuss with you.”

“Between us?”

Bandit Grandfather snorted, asking what kind of nonsense that was.

“Alliance Leader Yeon is quite an amusing person.”

From what I observed, our grandfather’s ears were completely blocked.

Well, I couldn’t say I didn’t understand.

Usually in novels, the righteous sects and Demonic Sect are portrayed as mortal enemies, but in reality, the relationship between righteous sects and unorthodox sects was worse.

While the Demonic Sect was far from the Central Plains, righteous and unorthodox sects lived in the same place.

As a result, they clashed constantly, making their animosity inevitably deep.

But now a formidable new force called the Bloodsky Sect had appeared.

From Jegal Mun-gi’s perspective, he absolutely had to bring this up.

To protect the martial world from the Bloodsky Sect, some kind of agreement was necessary regardless of orthodox or unorthodox affiliations.

“Heavenly Divine Bodhisattva.”

“Yes?”

“Please help me out.”

Knowing this better than anyone, I couldn’t refuse Jegal Mun-gi’s earnest request.

Come to think of it, there was also a Bloodsky Sect spy hidden in Sa Do-ryeon.

Tam-rang in the Martial Arts Alliance, Eok Mun in our headquarters, and Lu Cun in Sa Do-ryeon.

Our Bandit Grandfather can’t get stabbed in the back.

And it wasn’t just Bandit Grandfather.

There was also Sect Leader Uncle from Hao Clan, Axe Uncle, and Uncle Gu-deung from Dragon King Village.

To protect the uncles too, I had to catch Lu Cun as well.

What identity had Lu Cun, the third disciple and third seat of the Bloodsky Sect leader, disguised himself as?

Suddenly feeling anxious as it seemed I still had many things left to do.

“Bandit Grandfather.”

“Yes, my granddaughter.”

“Please have a conversation with these two.”

“Should I?”

Yeon Un-jang and Jegal Mun-gi watched in amazement as Bandit Grandfather’s attitude completely changed with just one word from me.

“What do you want to say? I’ll listen.”

“I’ll get straight to the point.”

“Have you perhaps heard of an organization called the Bloodsky Sect?”

“Bloodsky Sect?”

Bandit Grandfather’s reaction was lukewarm.

He was like that because he didn’t know their danger yet.

I tapped Grandfather’s arm.

“…Yes, what do they do?”

“They are descendants of the Blood Sect.”

Bandit Grandfather, who had been listening halfheartedly, suddenly stopped moving.

“…Blood Sect?”

“Yes.”

“Is that true?”

As if finding it hard to believe even Jegal Mun-gi’s answer, Bandit Grandfather looked at Alliance Leader Yeon Un-jang and asked again.

“According to what we’ve discovered, yes.”

“I thought the Demonic Sect had completely destroyed them?”

“That’s what happened.”

Jegal Mun-gi pointed at me and said.

“The one who found them was Heavenly Divine Bodhisattva, Senior Ho Jeon’s granddaughter.”

“Our Seolha?”

“Yes.”

Look how smart Uncle Jegal Mun-gi is.

When Bandit Grandfather couldn’t easily believe it, he immediately brought me up.

It seemed he had finally figured out how to deliver the story effectively.

“Well.”

I briefly explained how I came to know of the Bloodsky Sect’s existence and the process of chasing Tam-rang all the way to Wuhan.

Chief Strategist Jegal Mun-gi continued my story, adding praise about me as he explained how they successfully tracked down and eliminated the enemy.

“Our great-granddaughter, you’ve worked hard.”

Am-jon Grandfather, who had been quietly listening, patted my head as if proud.

“That final radiance was truly magnificent!”

Huh? Wait, hold on.

That story shouldn’t be brought up here.

“Everyone witnessed the birth of a new sacred being in the martial world.”

Even Alliance Leader Yeon Un-jang joined in, reminiscing about that time.

“Though I’m not a Buddhist, I felt filled with Buddhist devotion at that moment.”

Alliance Leader, please stop there.

I’m begging you to stop.

“Indeed, those moved by that Buddhist radiance shouted ‘Heavenly Divine Bodhisattva’ toward Miss Tak and put their palms together.”

“It was truly a mystical and majestic sight!”

“So that’s how you became the Heavenly Divine Bodhisattva.”

The grandfathers nodded in belated understanding.

Thanks to that, it saved me from having to explain.

“Heavenly Divine Bodhisattva! Hehehe, how wonderful!”

Am-jon Grandfather always worried about my true identity.

Perhaps that’s why he was especially pleased.

“Our granddaughter, your skills must have improved a lot while I wasn’t watching. Shall we spar later?”

Being from the unorthodox sect, Bandit Grandfather didn’t seem particularly interested in my title. He just seemed pleased that I had been active.

“Yes, Grandfather!”

Sparring with the grandfathers was always welcome.

I was always amazed at how much there was to learn each time.

“I finally experienced the greatness of Cheon-sin-mun firsthand. Though it may be an outer sect, that deep Buddhist devotion was certainly not inferior to Shaolin’s!”

Finally, the part I was worried about came up.

The moment I heard the word Shaolin, my spine went cold.

Sure enough.

“That’s why Venerable Gak-yeon of Bul-jon must have taken Miss Tak as his granddaughter.”

“…What did you just say?”

“Who took whom as granddaughter?”

Bandit Grandfather and Am-jon Grandfather’s eyebrows twisted into inverted shapes.

“What an impudent monk!”

“Even if he’s a great elder of Shaolin, this is unacceptable!”

“Who does he think he is to arbitrarily take my granddaughter as his own!”

Both of them were ready to storm into Shaolin Temple at any moment.

Guooooo!

Once again, the inn shook with the grandfathers’ energy.

I pressed down on the rattling table with my whole body and glared at Jegal Mun-gi.

“Excuse me? What exactly are you doing right now?”

Though I was furious to the point of my hair standing on end, I didn’t forget my manners even in this situation, considering his age.

“How can someone who’s supposed to be a strategist be so bad at reading the room?”

Jegal Mun-gi flinched at my fierce gaze and telepathic message.

“You saw that these two were fighting because of me, yet you drop a bombshell like this? What are you trying to accomplish! You asked me for help, and now you’re doing this? Huh?”

Jegal Mun-gi’s face turned pale as he realized his mistake.

I couldn’t say anything more to him and just let out a sigh.

Still, I had to clean up this mess.

Otherwise, these two would really go looking for Elder Buljon.

“Grandfathers!”

I jumped between Bandit Grandfather and Am-jon Grandfather and linked arms with them.

“Are you just going to keep getting angry in front of your granddaughter whom you haven’t seen in so long?”

“Seolha, this is about!”

“This old man absolutely cannot forgive this!”

“I’m already annoyed that there are so many old geezers around you, Seolha!”

That can’t be helped since I’m a grandfather collector.

“A monk who’s supposed to serve Buddha!”

“Knowing how pretty our granddaughter is!”

Bandit Grandfather was rather aggressive, while Am-jon Grandfather was relatively more restrained with his words.

What should I do in times like this?

Just tell both grandfathers that they’re the best for me!

That was the best approach.

“Don’t worry. To me, only you two are my real grandfathers! Even if ten people like Elder Buljon came, I would never trade you!”

“Right?”

“You only have this old man, right?”

Seeing how quickly both of them fell for my flattery, I nodded vigorously.

“Of course! Naturally!”

“How dare some monk!”

“This is all because our great-granddaughter is so exceptional.”

Fortunately, my aegyo worked well on them.

‘Elder Buljon, I’m sorry.’

With a guilty heart, I apologized inwardly.

And hastily moved away from this topic.

“Grandfather.”

“Yes, dear. Here’s a grandfather who’s more caring and kind than any monk.”

Bandit Grandfather was surprisingly petty.

“I think there might be Bloodsky Sect spies in Sado-ryeon too.”

I felt a bit sorry now for not paying attention to this while thinking of catching Eok Mun first.

“The Main Alliance thinks so too.”

Jegal Mun-gi interjected at the right timing.

“What makes you think that?”

“Bloodsky Sect’s primary goal was to provoke conflict between the Main Alliance and Cheonma Sect.”

Bandit Grandfather’s eyes widened in surprise.

Then he exchanged glances with Am-jon Grandfather before looking at me.

“Every time the Blood Sect has appeared, they’ve instigated chaos in the martial arts world. Sado-ryeon won’t be an exception.”

“Hmm.”

Bandit Grandfather stroked his chin thoughtfully for a moment, then opened his mouth as if he’d made a decision.

“This old man is weak in such matters. So I’m thinking of bringing someone smart.”

“Are you referring to Hao Mun-ju?”

“That’s right.”

“That’s fine with me.”

“Safety?”

“I’ll guarantee it.”

It was Yeon Un-jang who answered the last question.

Then he proposed an alliance.

“Since we’re on the topic, how about a temporary alliance? Bloodsky Sect is definitely not an organization to be taken lightly.”

“We’ll discuss that again when Hao Mun-ju arrives.”

Sado-ryeon was an organization that operated under a dual leadership system.

It wasn’t something Bandit Grandfather could decide unilaterally.

“Understood. I hope we can meet soon.”

Bandit Grandfather promised to contact the Sado-ryeon side within tonight.

With that, Yeon Un-jang and Jegal Mun-gi left, and peace finally returned to the inn.

It had been one of the most exhausting days I could count on my fingers.

It was hard to even count how many things had happened in just one day.

I praise myself for preventing a war between the orthodox and unorthodox factions.

‘But Eok I-geon still seems to be sulking.’

Was he really that upset about not getting a kiss?

If so, wouldn’t it be natural for me as his lover to resolve that grievance?

This absolutely isn’t about satisfying my own desires.

It was purely out of concern for my lover.

Really.
