Chapter 95 – Chapter 7 – Grace

– Eagle Eagle

Looking at me with a burning gaze, I cautiously averted my gaze.

A man presumed to be the head of the Sichuan Tang family.

It was understandable that he had negative feelings because he was forcibly dragged in because of me, but he was quite blatantly hostile, so I wondered if I had done something wrong.

An unsettling guess passed through my mind.

‘..Somehow, I think she resembles Dang Ah-young.’

Of course, it wouldn’t be strange that they have similar appearances since they’re the same Sacheondang, but it went beyond that level.. It felt like they really mixed blood.

Like a parent child.

‘…Dang Ah-young is the same age as me now. If you think about the age at which you get married and have children in this world…’

Eolchu was the right age.

Considering that Dang Ah-young is the most outstanding soloist among the later Ji-soos of the present day, and that the man in front of her is the head of the Sichuan Tang family, the possibility of guessing is much higher.

Because she must have inherited that talent.

So, if this guess is true, it means that the man in front of her is Tang Ah-young’s father.

In the past, at least yesterday, I don’t know, but today it was a bit awkward to meet.

Yes, that happened yesterday, so how can I confidently face that father today?

-Beep beep

‘I don’t know. You won’t know. How can I know what happened yesterday? Huh.’

Breaking out in a cold sweat, I tried to avert my eyes from the hostility pouring down on me.

Fortunately, it wasn’t just him and me who were in this place right now.

“Well then, now that we’ve reached the person concerned, we can start now, right?”

Other than that, there were many people who cared about me.

I took a deep breath as I met Yeo Xiaocheon’s gaze from the inside of the cloak.

There was no way to avoid it, since we had already come this far anyway.

‘Let’s not be scared. Because I didn’t do anything wrong.’

The situation came with the justification to praise him for saving the swordmaster’s life in the first place.

As long as I wasn’t being rude, it didn’t hurt me.

.

I will cancel.

If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have refused to come no matter what.

“..Thank you. I hope you continue to work harder for the rightist faction, Murim.”

I shook hands with a person who was the leader of the shaman faction.

“No.. Of course it has to be done..”

Hearing his soulless voice, I too felt ashamed.

At first, I wondered what kind of candy they were trying to feed me by dragging me here.

Whether it was to put pressure on me, to openly criticize me, or to make me question my abilities, I was thinking of many possibilities and looking for ways to deal with them.

– Clap clap clap clap

“Wow. Applause~”

It was just a handshake event like this.

And that’s in front of the people called Gaju, who are the leaders of the five great families of the old school.

‘What? What do you mean?’

As he continued this soulless handshake, he kept thinking in his mind what Lu Xiaochun’s intentions were.

Then, at some point, a slight pain rose in his hand.

So let’s check who the opponent is

“..Nice to meet you. I wanted to meet you once.”

The head of the Sichuan Tangga was in front of him.

“Oh, hello.”

“You seem to be indebted to my daughter normally.”

“If it’s your daughter…”

“Dang Ayeong. Don’t say you don’t know.”

‘Fuck.’

As I realized that the worst situation I had ever imagined was approaching, I broke into more cold sweats and my heart started pounding.

“Haha.. That’s right. He usually owes a lot to Sojeo. He’s a benefactor who helped me a lot.”

“..I’d like to have a sincere conversation with you later. Can I call you to your parents’ house next time?”

“…If you call me, I will visit you as soon as possible.”

“Okay… Then see you later.”

The father-in-law (?) Said so and returned to his seat.

He should be said to be fortunate, but no one came closer as if he was the last person in this handshake meeting.

‘Haaa…’

He sighed inwardly and sat down in his seat.

Just that alone was already a situation where I felt extremely tired.

She still hadn’t properly sorted out her relationship with her and in the situation where she ran away, she never thought she would meet her father.

If that person had known what had happened to Dang Ah-young and me yesterday, I would have already become a cold corpse.

‘I’m sure he didn’t know about it, right?’

She looked at Yeo Xiaoqian, who still had an unknown expression on her face, and wondered if she knew what was going on between me and Tang Ah-ying and set up this situation.

“Now, it seems that the greetings are over properly, so we should listen to the details, right?”

-Startle

At that moment, I felt uneasy at the words of Yeo Socheon.

Just as expected

“Can we hear how you saved the life of our hero, Swordsman?”

She aimed at the most dangerous part of me.

I don’t know exactly how I saved Swordsman’s life.

I only know because the swordsman told me about it.

‘This, how can I excuse this…’

Embarrassed by Yeo Xiaoqian’s words, while she was flustered, a ray of light came down.

“Let me explain that for you. I am the party.”

Swordsman opened his mouth.

“…Yes?”

“Is there a problem? I, who is blessed, will speak directly.”

“No.. Wait a minute.. This is different from what I read.. Why all of a sudden..”

Yeo So-cheon looked visibly embarrassed.

It’s like she didn’t expect this to happen.

‘…What?’

If you think about it, there was a good chance of coming out because of the character of Swordsman, but seeing him so visibly embarrassed with it, I wondered if he hadn’t expected it.

But what I’ve read is different.

‘I just couldn’t read this..?’

“Uh.. Well.. Yes.. That’s right. There’s nothing wrong with it..?”

While Lu Xiaoqian had doubts about her abilities, she stuttered and acknowledged her swordsman’s right to speak, and her swordsman’s mouth opened.

“I had business with him, so he looked at me in many ways. And while I was fighting the remnants of the Blood Bridge in Guangdong, I was in danger of being poisoned by the Blood Bridge spell.”

“Blood bridge…?”

“You guys know too. Strange phenomena or monsters that seem to be traces of blood ties are often appearing all over the central plains these days.”

“..Yes.”

“Hmm..”

They nodded their heads at the swordmaster’s words.

“Amidst that crisis, from what he saw, I got a clue to overcome the indoctrination and move on to the next level.”

“…!”

“Is it really?”

They opened their eyes wide and turned their heads towards me.

It was definitely a great thing.

It’s not enough to treat the main hwalipma, but to find a clue to move from the level of the swordmaster to the next level. Usually not a big deal…

‘Wait a minute, did I do that?’

Even I, who had been quietly listening to the swordmaster, was surprised as well.

If I hadn’t barely come to my senses, it would have been so great that I would ask again.

‘Have I ever seen anything that would be helpful in that way..? Because I watched a lot of miscellaneous things..’

I can’t do business anyway.

No matter how unmanned people look for clues in trivial things, I never thought they would find them there.

Should I say I’m great or should I say swordsman is great?

‘No, but if we talk about it here…’

The gaze upon me became more intense.

Even if they are in charge of a faction, they are also warriors in the end. If it was a clue that could lead to the next level, they were looking for it with their eyes open.

-Gulp

I sent a helping look toward the swordswoman, feeling the intense gazes that made me wonder if I would be kidnapped as it is if I did something wrong.

It would have been useless because of the cloak, but fortunately, the swordsman didn’t leave me alone.

“If you ever want to covet that ability and pose a threat to him, tell me in advance. I’ll show you what’s going on.”

I heard the sound of clicking my tongue at the sword queen’s threat from somewhere, but the gaze towards me was clearly reduced again.

‘..I love you, swordsman.’

I was receiving so much help that I wondered how I would have lived without the swordsman.

I wondered what kind of reaction Yeo So-cheon was doing. I looked at where she was.

Strangely, she didn’t sit in her chair alone, she was sitting at the top desk.

-Shaking

Just looking at it, it seemed that there were a lot of complaints.

It was an open indication that things weren’t going the way she had hoped.

* * *

“Huh~ Heh~”

Dang Ah-yeong was preparing her lunch box in her kitchen with a refreshing expression.

It wasn’t making strange medicine like usual, it was really pure food without any medicine.

Her fresh expression, as if everything piled up, and her shiny skin showed that she was in very good condition.

– Click

As I put the finished dish into the lunch box, I suddenly remembered a culture that is popular among women with lovers these days.

Did she say that she writes the name of the person she loves as her seasoning on the lunch box?

Thinking it’s quite a romantic culture, I held up the spice jar to write his name, but my hand stopped right away.

‘..What’s your name?’

Come to think of it, she didn’t even know his name.

Faceless is a nickname, and it was a nickname he didn’t even like very much.

She usually addressed her by nickname or ‘you’, but then she hadn’t heard his name.

‘He’s soon to become a Westerner, so I need to know his name.’

I don’t know why she hid it, but thinking that she should find out today, she drew a cute rabbit shape.

In that state, she packed her lunch and headed to the fortune teller, expecting to have a romantic meal with him.

It didn’t take long for her to find out that he had been called to the Murim Meng.
