88.
That’s exactly what it means.
Half concern for Peng.
And half being captivated by my absurd talent that received plenty of transmigrator buffs.
For that reason, Ju Sohui had her son learn the Peng Family’s martial arts, while having me, her daughter, learn her swordplay.
There’s another reason for this.
It’s my speculation, but Peng probably couldn’t master the Wolhae Swordplay either.
It’s inevitable.
Even I, who have a more flexible and dynamic body than Peng, feel difficulty in mastering the Wolhae Swordplay.
The reason I mastered it so quickly despite it being ill-fitting clothes was entirely because my talent exceeded the normal range.
Perhaps while looking exactly like Ju Sohui on the outside, I inherited Peng’s innate temperament. Peng, who greatly manifested Peng’s genes, is naturally unqualified.
He couldn’t even learn the Northern Enlightenment Skill.
So from Ju Sohui and Peng’s perspective, they hope we’ll share nicely rather than me monopolizing everything. Besides, unless you’re someone with a special constitution like me, you can only learn one or two martial arts anyway.
Simply put, a blade master who learned Ohhodanmundo can’t learn Wolhae Swordplay, and vice versa.
Not only are the weapon types of the two martial arts different, but the suitable footwork, body techniques, and internal arts are completely different. This is entirely different from a swordsman who learned Wolhae Swordplay using striking palm techniques or similar types of flexible swords that most masters use as supplementary means.
In fantasy terms, you can’t be both a berserker and an ice mage simultaneously.
Except for me, who can change classes. (I don’t know about NPCs, but RPGs where users can’t change classes during play are trash games. I don’t play them anyway.)
“I consoled him for nothing.”
While I was lost in other thoughts, Gong Haelyeong’s face came close to mine once again, then instantly moved away.
“Huh? Why?”
“Tsk, never mind. Well, that guy is already sixty, so he should know how to handle his children’s affairs.”
She keeps saying sixty, sixty, which gives me a strange feeling.
“Grandmother, what is your age?”
“What do you want to know for?”
“Oh, I’m just a bit curious.”
Gong Haelyeong stared at me intently, then turned the corner without any answer.
Instead of asking further, I chased after her again. Looking now, the place we reached through the red lanterns was none other than Namhae Medical Clinic.
The place where I had been staying all along.
“Doctor, are you there?”
“Patriarch!”
Namhae Medical Clinic is, as its name suggests, a building owned by the Haenam Sect.
Naturally, the doctor working inside is also a member of the sect. Like Assistant Manager Heo seeing the chairman of a major corporation, he came running out in a hurry.
“How is Dori’s condition? I heard her injuries were quite severe when she first met Hae U.”
I stared intently at Gong Haelyeong, who knew names I hadn’t told her.
Even though she must have felt my gaze, she absolutely wouldn’t look this way.
I thought to myself once again.
‘Prickly shy grandmother.’
She’s worse than Dokgo Yeon.
If I do well, I might be able to win her over. (I mean that in a granddaughter sense.)
“That’s correct, but Master Ju has such good recovery that she healed three to four times faster than I expected. In just a few more days, there should be no problem with sparring or using footwork techniques.”
Actually, even now, as long as it’s not Danhaebichu or Cheonmagunrimbo that strain the ankle, moderate footwork should be possible.
Being a doctor, he’s probably speaking conservatively.
‘Huh? Wait.’
As I was nodding, the title I heard earlier crossed my mind once more.
“Master Ju?”
And it seemed to be the same for Gong Haelyeong.
After looking at me and Doctor once each, she soon chuckled.
“Wait, Doctor. My surname is Peng.”
Worried about being mistaken for someone impersonating my mother in front of grandmother, I protested in panic.
“Yes? Ah, yes! That’s right! I’m getting old and my memory is failing, so I made a mistake.”
But for some reason, Doctor was watching both of us quite carefully while laughing awkwardly.
What’s this about.
It’s quite unsettling.
“Hahaha!”
Meanwhile, Gong Haelyeong, who had been watching our little comedy, burst into hearty laughter. After laughing so hard she held her stomach, she soon wiped her tears and looked down at me.
“Indeed, yes. That could be.”
“Huh? What could? Me?”
“Anyway, Doctor has good skills, so if it’s his judgment, you can be discharged now, Dori. Then you could come to Haenam for a while.”
“…Haenam?”
This is troublesome.
If I don’t hurry back, Ju Sohui will surely go wild after hearing the news from Dangsoso.
I grabbed Gong Haelyeong’s sleeve and looked up at her.
“Wait wait wait! That won’t work!”
“If it’s about your mother, don’t worry. I told Hae U to deliver news all the way to Henan. He’s still first-rate, but he’s also one of the few talents who learned Danhaebichu, so you don’t need to worry about speed.”
She quickly understood what I wanted to say and answered.
“Do you perhaps read my thoughts? Is there such a martial art?”
“It’s all written on your face.”
“No way!”
When I jumped up, Gong Haelyeong smiled leisurely and gestured.
“Wouldn’t it be good to see where your mother trained her martial arts while you’re at it? You’ve probably seen enough of the Peng Family’s martial arts while staying there, but Haenam is originally far and difficult to visit even once. Since you’re already here, stay a while before leaving.”
“Uh.”
That’s reasonable logic.
But still, I’m worried about Dangsoso and Cheonwoo whom I left behind.
“I have some Thunder Extreme Black Iron that I saved in Haenam, and I think it would suit you well. But what you’re using now.”
She examined my waist.
Whoosh. Thud.
In an instant, two swords disappeared from my waist. I was startled by her hand movements like those of a master thief.
“When did you take them?”
“One is a Dang Family short sword made of Eternal Cold Iron, and the other is.”
She held Dokgo Yeon’s long sword and opened the scabbard.
The black blade with a reddish aura gleamed. She ran her finger along the metal part, then muttered in a chilly tone.
“Where did you get this sword?”
“I found it.”
I could never say that Cheonma gave it to me.
At my blatant lie, Gong Haelyeong’s eyes narrowed.
“You found such a treasured sword?”
“Yes!”
“You’re lucky too. Indeed, even fortuitous encounters seek out heaven-sent talent.”
Fortunately, Gong Haelyeong, who had been active in the Haenam Sect all along, seemed to have never met Cheonma directly either.
If she had clashed with him even once, she would have recognized it immediately, but fortunately she didn’t. I inwardly sighed in relief.
“But these two swords don’t perfectly match for maximizing your swordsmanship and constitution. Sohui probably knew that fact too, but no matter how wealthy the Peng Family is, treasured swords suited to individuals don’t just fall from the sky.”
“What do you mean by that…?”
“Do you perhaps have a connection with Patriarch Dang?”
I nodded.
She didn’t seem to know the detailed circumstances between me and Dangsoso, but considering the peculiar relationship between the two families, it was actually natural for me, a Peng Family young lady, to have ties with Patriarch Dang.
“Then that’s perfect. For exactly one month from now, we should discuss your constitution together.”
