Star Instructor, Master Baek Chapter 14: Are You Going to Remarry?

After the conclusion of our duel, I sat face-to-face with Dad. Everyone else had gone ho, leaving only the two of us in the spacious, empty Baek Academy.

You know, I wasnt going to let you leave at all, Dad said, staring down at the teacup in front of him with folded arms.

I know very well what kind of situation you would face if you go there, so I planned to get in your way even if I had to personally break your arms and legs, he continued.

And if I kept insisting on leaving?

Id pretend that I lost and stalk you secretly.

Well, it wasnt like I didnt anticipate this little sche of his when I spotted him sneakily packing his luggage several days ago.

As expected, hes weak to his son.

I coolly sipped so tea and said, Now that Ive won the duel though, you cant stop or stalk anymore.

Eh, I cant?

Read this at , or else.

Absolutely not. I shook my head firmly. Although I was extrely grateful to him, from now on, it was better for both and him to stay apart for a while.

By the ti I co back, Ill be rich and famous. Until then, please just make sure the Baek Academy doesnt go bankrupt and close down.

Why you little punk Dad said, making a puppy-dog face that was totally unbecoming of his age. If any of the widows in town could see him now, they would have gone crazy and agreed to anything he asked for, but that wasnt going to work on . Obviously.

If you go to the Azure Dragon Academy Dad hesitated for a mont, then sighed and continued, youll probably run into your maternal grandfather.

What?

My maternal grandfather would be my mothers father.

What the hell? Ive never heard anything about this before!

Co to think of it, during the whole ti I was here, I never heard much about my moms side of the family.

Dad hesitated again for a while, then suddenly added, Alsothat man is the principal of the Azure Dragon Academy.

That man? Who?

Your maternal grandfather.

No no no, why are you only telling this now? I blabbed, utterly bewildered.

Dad deliberately avoided my gaze and looked away, muttering, Didnt I just tell you? I wasnt planning on letting you leave, so Anyway, I never thought that youd be able to beat , and honestly, if I had been shaless and used my qi, I would have won for sure

Enough of the excuses. Why didnt you tell earlier that you had connections to the Academy? I could have gotten in by the back door instead, or had an easier entrance exam

As I talked excitedly, I suddenly noticed the bleak expression on Dads face.

Wait a second, it cant beright?

Do you not get along with my maternal grandfather?

Y arent you reading this at ?

He didnt like , so Yak-Bing broke off her relationship with him.

Mae Yak-Bing. That was my mothers na.

I anxiously asked, When did this happen?

Err, when Yak-Bing and I got married?

Ah, so it happened roughly thirty years ago. Its been quite a long ti, so the two of you must basically be strangers by now, right?

Dad pretended not to hear grumbling.

Look, I dont know what Father-in-law will think of you. He might like you because of your resemblance to Yak-Bing, or

Or?

He might try to kill you because you look like .

Dad frowned and mumbled to himself, Hmm, hes super old and about to die soon, but should I just murder him anyway?

I put a hand on my painfully throbbing head and sighed.

Anyway, be careful. If you et a man nad Mae Geuk-Nyom (), the first thing you should do is run away as fast as you can, at least a hundred yards away

Okay, stop right there. I think Ive heard enough.

Worrying about all this stuff beforehand was aningless. In the end, my best option was to go et the old man in person and try my luck.

At worst, Id just have to kill him, thats all.

Should I go with you after all? If youre with , hell definitely attack first, giving you an opportunity to escape

Just how badly does your father-in-law hate you?!

I sighed deeply and stood up from my seat. The longer I spent saying goodbye, the harder it would be to actually leave.

Now was a good ti. If I stayed here any longer, the sun would set.

Then, Dad, Im off. Please take good care of yourself until my glorious return. I bowed deeply in respect and gratitude.

You know you dont have to bow down to Sigh, fine, hurry up and go.

I straightened my back and turned around.

As I secured the bag that was falling off my shoulder, I looked around and engraved the familiar sights of the Baek Academy into my mind.

Over the last few months, before I knew it, I had grown attached to the worn-down training ground, the old buildings, the weather-beaten entrance signboard, and the toys the sniveling brats left behind in a corner of the yard.

Although I lived in a much grander place back when I was an instructor in the Blood Cult, sohow I liked this simple, humble place a lot better.

Y arent you reading this at ?

Maybe it was because this was the first ti I ever had a place I could call ho.

Ill definitely co back here.

It might take a few years, or even longer, but I was determined to one day return to this place.

This was ho, after all.

Rember to send a letter once a month! If you fail to contact , I will go looking for you, you little punk!

Yes, yes, I replied to Dads nagging without turning around.

Then, I walked past the main gates of the Baek Academy and took my first step toward the Azure Dragon Academy.
