8.

“…Yes.”

This time, a small smile appeared on Ju Sohui’s lips.

Seeing her like this, she was truly a beauty like Xishi, and Eon Yeonhyeok unconsciously averted his gaze.

In fact, in the marketplace, she was more often called the world’s greatest beauty or the martial world’s first flower rather than by her alias.

“Could I perhaps see that child once? I haven’t seen her since she was little, so I’m quite curious about how she’s grown.”

“She’s sleeping right now, so please see her later. More importantly, there’s something I want to give you.”

Ju Sohui, who had refused the request, threw something at Eon Yeonhyeok.

His eyes narrowed as he caught the object. He immediately recognized the identity of the pulsating jade ring.

“Is this a Solitude Egg?”

“It was being passed between Yeon-ga and Geumga. Judging by the separate facilities underground, I suspect it’s the work of the Blood Sect targeting the Eon Family.”

“…That was almost a disaster.”

It was heart-sinking information.

Unlike Makyō, whose headquarters were far away and moved with a certain regularity, the Blood Sect operated as a cell organization.

Neither their leader nor their substance could be grasped, and they were thoroughly irrational. The thought that such people had nested in Shanxi, which was dominated by the Eon Family, made his chest feel cold.

“The Eon Family owes a debt to the Peng Family. I’ll repay this favor later.”

“A debt from the Death’s Shadow—how generous.”

Ju Sohui smiled brightly.

“Then I’ll leave the remaining matters to the Eon Family. I plan to spend time with my family for a while.”

Instead of returning immediately, Eon Yeonhyeok secretly came out of the inn and climbed up onto the roof.

‘As if I could contain my curiosity.’

Ju Sohui had refused, saying her daughter was sleeping, but wouldn’t it be fine as long as he didn’t wake her?

Since the Peng Family and Eon Family were adjacent to each other, they were competitors but also families with deep exchanges.

Naturally, Eon Yeonhyeok, the Grand Patriarch of the Eon Family, had often watched Dori grow up.

‘I was so sorry when that child disappeared, wondering how she would have grown.’

Walking stealthily, he peeked his head through the window.

“Let me see….”

Eon Yeonhyeok, who had been scanning the room, gasped when he saw the sleeping girl.

He had been somewhat puzzled about how he could immediately recognize and be certain of a child he had been separated from over ten years ago, but now that he faced her, there was no need to wonder.

It was young Ju Sohui.

‘It would be more ridiculous to say she’s not blood-related with that face.’

Where had Peng’s traces gone? Her face resembled Ju Sohui so much that one could believe Ju Sohui had reached a life-or-death crisis and undergone rejuvenation once more.

…Ju Sohui at the life-or-death boundary.

That would be a walking disaster. Even now, she was already at the level of a natural calamity.

Eon Yeonhyeok, who was trembling at the terrible imagination, suddenly made eye contact with the girl who appeared to be in her late teens.

Sparkle.

Her black eyes, shining like porcelain, gleamed.

The girl asked.

“Pervert?”

“No!”

Eon Yeonhyeok, who felt a threat to his life, quickly retorted. Then he fled far away before Ju Sohui could return.

Meanwhile, Dori, who had unintentionally made eye contact with Eon Yeonhyeok.

‘What was that. Was it a dream.’

She just blinked her eyes without any sense of reality.

The slight doubt soon ended as just a happening thanks to Ju Sohui’s return. She took care of the drowsy Dori, gave her a morning kiss, then personally brought warm water to wash her face.

The sense of guilt was tremendous.

‘Is this what they call a fire-attribute filial daughter?’

Before the possession, she had been a filial daughter who received scholarships regularly and got a job right after graduation.

Whether it was the law of conservation of filial piety, she kept being unfilial only to Ju Sohui.

“Now that you’ve had breakfast, let’s depart!”

“Yes.”

Dori, who had been fed breakfast in an instant (it was almost like being raised), was picked up by Ju Sohui and flew into the air.

From Shanxi to Hebei really didn’t take long, as she had said.

When barely half a day had passed, the scenery of Hebei began to come into view.

Ju Sohui, holding her daughter preciously, felt her throat naturally tighten.

It had been only two months since she returned home. But now she wasn’t alone.

She was returning to the Peng Family with the daughter she thought she had lost forever, over ten years ago.

Whoosh.

Ju Sohui, who had been moving between rooftops, landed gracefully.

Dori, who had been clinging to her, looked up with a puzzled expression. Ju Sohui looked down tenderly at the child who wouldn’t hurt even if put in her eyes.

“Are you planning to rest here?”

“No.”

Looking at the gradually setting sun, Ju Sohui spoke in a low voice.

“This is your home, dear.”

Peng.

The Patriarch of the Peng Family, who had passed fifty this year, had been restlessly circling the training ground for several days.

‘She found Dori.’

It was because of the letter his wife Ju Sohui had sent exactly five days ago.

The text wasn’t very long. But what it was saying was clear.

The daughter they thought was dead was alive and under Ju Sohui’s protection.

At first, he couldn’t believe it. But no matter how many times he re-examined the handwriting, it was definitely his wife’s.

In the end, Peng had spent anxious days unable to concentrate on training all day. Today was exactly the fifth day, so he was about to collapse.

That’s when it happened.

“Patriarch! Madam has returned. But-“

“Go immediately!”

At the maid’s words who came to the training ground, Peng rushed out frantically.

It didn’t take even five seconds to reach the main gate where Ju Sohui would enter. As a Transcendent master, he ran so hard that he was unusually out of breath.

And.

“It’s been two months since we’ve seen each other.”

“Wife…!”

The moment he was relieved to see his wife smiling affectionately as always, he noticed the girl standing beside her.

She was a child who resembled his wife very much.

They looked so identical that for a moment he had the foolish thought that perhaps his talented wife had crossed the barrier of life and death and undergone rejuvenation once again.

But that wasn’t it.

“Daddy!”

Suddenly, an innocent voice from long ago overlapped in his ears. His eyes turned to the girl’s right hand.

On the back of her hand… unusually, there was a scar with four consecutive dots as if stabbed with chopsticks.

Ju Sohui placed her hand on the girl’s shoulder.

“I already hinted at it in the letter, but a detailed explanation will be necessary. For our dear child as well.”

Thump, thump, thump, thump.

His heart raced as if it would burst.

He felt a fate-like attraction he had avoided for so long. The doubts he had felt for days disappeared completely as euphoria filled his mind.

His lips trembled.

“Then, really….”

“Yes.”

Ju Sohui nodded and spoke to the girl who looked exactly like her.

“Say hello, Doa. This is your father.”

“Ah.”

Dori, who had been reading the room between the affectionate couple, exclaimed “Aha!” at Ju Sohui’s explanation and bowed at the waist.

“Hello, Grandfather!”

“?”

“?”

That word somewhat cooled the emotionally charged atmosphere. Dori looked back and forth at the two people’s faces, which had become strange, then asked back with a bewildered expression.

“…Oh, then Great-grandfather?”

“No!”

Peng was startled and objected.
