Chapter 91

“Our Muk-mul seems to have a lot on his mind.”

“What’s the point of explaining everything? Sigh.”

Sighing Muk-mul truly looked exhausted.

Seeing this usually confident kid show weakness made me feel so sorry and heartbroken for him.

Why did he have to be born so smart and suffer for it?

At an age when he should be running around carefree without any worries, he has to handle branch manager duties instead.

Hmm, this really won’t do.

Since today is the meaningful day I went from being a pushover to becoming a big sister, I should help him out!

“Muk-mul, do you trust your big sister?”

I placed my hands on my hips and asked him confidently.

Then Muk-mul flinched as if he’d heard something terrifying.

“Why are you startled?”

What’s this?

The kid even started backing away.

“What does this mean right now? Does your big sister look like she’s going to eat you up or something?”

“Just now, it kind of seemed like you might.”

What kind of thing is that to say!

But I’ll let it slide since he’s cute.

“Big sister will solve it.”

“…What and how?”

“Just trust me quietly. Blessed are those who believe. Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva.”

I habitually chanted the Buddhist invocation while pressing my palms together.

“Are you really a Buddhist, big sister?”

“What kind of question is that?”

“Sometimes I get a cult-like vibe from you.”

Whoa.

Sharp kid.

Can you just see right through things like that?

I felt a pang of guilt inside but brazenly continued.

“So you’re saying you can’t trust your big sister?”

“It’s not exactly inspiring tremendous confidence, but… I’ll try trusting you for now.”

Anyway, this kid never falls for things right away.

“Hey, Young Taoist!”

Since I had something to do, it was time to part ways with the Young Taoist.

“Why does Doe call for me?”

The way he’s holding the finished candy and skewer in his mouth like a pipe looks quite natural.

If it weren’t for that youthful face, I’d believe he was a grandfather.

I’ve gotten used to that pretentiously adult way of speaking by now.

“We have to go, so let’s meet again later. If you want to eat candy, come find me anytime like today. Got it?”

“Doe is not such a shameless person.”

I knew you’d try to decline like that.

“Young Taoist, at your age you need to eat well. That’s how you grow tall and put on weight. If you can’t eat what you want, you’ll get sick, right?”

“That has already happened.”

“See? You can’t let the illness get worse, can you? Big sister will be in Luoyang for a while, so don’t hesitate to come. Oh, and after eating candy, you must brush your teeth, okay? Otherwise you’ll get cavities and it’ll hurt.”

I reached out and pinched the Young Taoist’s cheek.

“Oh my, look how soft and squishy this is.”

How can his skin be so smooth too?

“Heh heh… heh, heh, heh!”

Was my touching his cheek that shocking?

The Young Taoist trembled and laughed strangely.

He looked exactly like a malfunctioning robot creaking and groaning.

How cute.

“I should balance things out while I’m at it, right?”

I used my other hand to grab both his cheeks and stretch them out.

“Kekeke, then big sister is really going now!”

It seemed like the kid might faint if I continued, so I quickly let go and added:

“Tell me your name when we meet next time, okay?”

“Taoist brother, see you later!”

Muk-mul and I waved our hands and gave our final farewell to the Young Taoist.

But Eok I-geon was displeased about something again, frowning deeply as he glared at the Young Taoist.

“Come on, young master! We’re in a hurry!”

Only after I urged him did he finally turn away from the child and turn around.

“At this age… heh heh.”

Even after Seolha left, the Young Taoist—no, Tae-won Jin-in—couldn’t leave his spot for a while.

His face was half-dazed.

“To have my cheeks grabbed… heh heh, heh heh, heh heh heh!”

Tae-won Jin-in muttered while rubbing both cheeks where Seolha’s hands had touched.

“If only it weren’t for my candy…”

At first it was curiosity, and now he was hovering around Seolha because of Gak-yeon’s request.

But to be treated like such a child.

The dignity of the Ten Greatest Martial Artists was in shambles.

Not only that.

As the greatest elder of Wudan, he was losing his dignity.

Still, the candy was sweet.

And that was exactly the problem.

“Should I just reveal that I’m your grandfather’s friend?”

His heart wanted to do that, but he couldn’t help but feel conflicted.

Because then he wouldn’t be able to get any more candy.

Where in this wide world is there a grandfather who begs from his granddaughter?

He should be the one buying for her instead.

But Tae-won Jin-in had no money.

Finally, a conclusion was reached.

“Know that it cannot be helped, and accept it peacefully as fate. Knowing something is unavoidable, accept it with peace of mind as destiny. That too shall be spiritual cultivation.”

It wouldn’t be bad to live like this just while staying in Luoyang for a while.

“Return to the original and embrace the true.”

Engraving Zhuangzi’s words deep in his heart, Tae-won quietly recited the Taoist invocation.

“I knew this would happen.”

As Muk-mul expected, the front of Sadollyeon Pavilion was already a complete mess.

Should I call it a crucible of chaos?

A massive warship was blocking the main road at the intersection, paralyzing traffic and creating extreme congestion.

“I say! Can’t you see the road is blocked here?”

“What do you want me to do about people pushing from behind! Really, at least make some space!”

“If there was such a thing, would I be doing this?”

“Hey! I told you not to push!”

“Move back there! There’s no space, damn it!”

All kinds of curses poured out on the main road.

The cargo wagons were tangled up, and with merchants joining the fray, the road was truly a scene of utter chaos.

Grrrowl!

In the midst of it all, Bandit Grandfather’s tiger was baring its large fangs and threatening people.

Since the creature that should have been in the mountains had come down to the city, it couldn’t help but be on edge.

“Hey! Hold that leash tight!”

Led by Axe Uncle, the bandit uncles were barely managing to control it, but the excited tiger’s momentum wouldn’t subside at all.

“Doesn’t this bastard have anything to eat? Someone go buy some meat!”

“Like it would eat well in this chaos!”

“Then get some silver vine at least!”

“Where are we supposed to find that now?”

“Should’ve prepared it earlier!”

“Damn it! Why are you telling me that? Is this thing mine?”

“What? Damn it? Does this bastard want to stop living?”

“Hey, hey, the leash! You’re losing the leash!”

Roooooar!

When the tiger struck the ground with its front paw and howled, the already chaotic area in front of the giru became even more of a battlefield.

People fell over in shock, and as the frightened horses reared up, carriages overturned.

The actual culprits of this commotion, Bandit Grandfather and Grandpa Yongwang, were nowhere to be seen.

They must have left everything to their subordinates and leisurely gone inside.

He’s my grandfather, but he’s really too much.

“We need to calm that tiger down first.”

“I’ll handle it.”

For once, Eok I-geon stepped forward first.

“How are you planning to do that?”

“Just need to make it docile, right?”

“…Well, yes?”

But would the tiger listen to what the young master says?

Before I could stop him, Eok I-geon was already walking toward the tiger.

“Huh? Young Master Eok!”

Axe Uncle, who spotted Eok I-geon, immediately turned his head to find me.

“Axe Uncle!”

I smiled brightly and raised my hand.

“Seolha came!”

Axe Uncle shouted happily while gripping the iron chain.

“I’ll do it.”

Just then, Eok I-geon snatched the leash from Axe Uncle without permission.

Roooooar!

As its leash passed into a stranger’s hands, the tiger roared even more fiercely.

Thwack!

Eok I-geon struck the tiger’s head with his fist without a moment’s hesitation.

There was a thud from its skull, and the tiger collapsed on the spot.

“G-Geumsam!”

Axe Uncle cried out in shock and placed his hand on the tiger’s neck.

Wheeze, wheeze, wheeze.

Though irregular, fortunately it was breathing.

When he lifted its eyelid, the pupil was also twitching.

“Phew! It’s not dead.”

“Damn! I was startled thinking it had died!”

“I just knocked it out lightly, so move it inside where people won’t see.”

At Eok I-geon’s command, the bandit uncles began moving quickly.

Perhaps knowing that Eok I-geon was Prince Lee of the Demonic Sect, the atmosphere wasn’t awkward despite his condescending tone.

“Ah, now I can breathe a little.”

“Thank you!”

“It’s thanks to Seolha coming at the right time!”

The bandit uncles finally straightened their backs and wiped their sweat.

“You’ve worked hard.”

Feeling sorry for their faces soaked with nervous sweat, I resolved to solve this as quickly as possible.

“Wow! I had a feeling, but you’re an incredible master.”

Muk-mul gave Eok I-geon a thumbs up with an impressed look, as if seeing him in a new light.

It was understandable since he had knocked out a house-sized tiger in one blow.

“Good. The tiger’s handled, so let’s go in.”

I still had work to do.

I confidently entered the giru with Muk-mul in tow.

And shouted loud enough to shake the building.

“Grandfathers! Your granddaughter is here!”

As soon as I finished speaking, loud crashing sounds echoed from the upper floor.

Soon Bandit Grandfather and Grandpa Yongwang appeared.
