Episode 71: Hafusega’s Bastards (2)
“Is that really true?”
“Your father woke up?”
The family mbers who were scattered all over the place flocked to the place where the head of the family was located.
Is it because five sons died? Many frail elderly people and won holding babies were seen, and young people could be counted on one hand.
dump-!
The head of the family, Dongwoon-geol.
After coming to his senses after a few days, he ca out to the door and sat down on the floor.
“Father, are you out of your mind?”
The youngest son, Dong-seok, handed him a bamboo bucket filled with water.
The matriarch gulped down the water she had brought, wiped her mouth with her sleeve and spoke.
“I had a dream.”
“yes? “A dream?”
“A dream in which our third son, Dong-gu, cos back riding a tiger and bites Hahusega.”
It was far from reality, but it was refreshing to hear.
Dong-seok, whose face brightened slightly, glanced at Dong-gu who was standing next to him.
“Instead of the tiger, I brought my beautiful grandchildren.”
The head of the family shook her head and looked at the small pavilion across from her.
That was the place where Yujinsan and Yuseol were currently being fed.
“…Seok-ah.”
“Yes, father.”
“How long has it been since you started learning martial arts?”
“It’s been a little over fifteen years.”
“Then how co you have no eyes to see?”
Dongseok tilted his head as if he didn’t understand what was happening.
“…yes?”
“Didn’t you see that our Dong-gu brought a dragon instead of a tiger?”
“What do you an…?”
Dong-gu was equally confused.
As far as he knew, they were just good kids he t at the ferry port.
However, I couldn’t comnt on the words of my father who had just co to his senses.
“If your father is a dragon, then you are a dragon.”
Dongwoon-geol nodded with a satisfied expression and stood up.
“You nad my granddaughter Seol? She’s so pretty, I’m sure she’ll beco a beauty of all kinds when she grows up. And bring my grandson to after one o’clock. “I’ll have to try it myself.”
“yes? “A test?”
“Even if you try to hide it, I know. The child’s martial arts skills had already reached their peak. “I never thought a child with such qualities would be born into our family… You raised him very well, Dong-gu.”
As the head of the family, he was the most outstanding expert here. It’s just that I retired from martial arts a long ti ago and my bones have hardened. Therefore, his ability to detect energy and his keen sense of vision were extraordinary.
However, if Yu Jin-san had not intentionally let his energy flow, how would he have noticed?
That’s why he didn’t know the truth. Jin-san Yu’s skills are at a transcendent level, beyond the peak.
Anyway, the family mbers looked bewildered at Dongwoon-geol’s words.
Peak expert. It was a level commonly seen in prestigious sects, but in a small shaman family like the head of the Dong family, it was a supre level that could only be reached by becoming the head of the family.
They thought the matriarch’s mind had gone a little crazy.
“Yes?”
“Climax…?”
Dongwoon-geol approached the coffin neatly placed in the yard.
“First of all, the order would be to finish our Cheol’s funeral. And let’s prepare for the next one.”
I couldn’t just be imrsed in sadness forever.
Isn’t this already the fifth disaster?
Ti was still passing, and in four days I would co back to Hafusega again. I had to quickly prepare for anything inside.
* * *
Considering the timing, the funeral had no choice but to be held informally.
After work was over, Yu Jin-san sat across from his granddaughter in the assigned room.
“I guess I’ll have to stay here for a few days.”
“I love it. “Grandpa?”
“hmm. “If Seol is good, Grandpa is good too.”
Did Grandpa feel better when he heard that he was helping Uncle Dong-gu? A bright smile appeared on Yu Seol’s face.
“Hi-Hi.”
Nothing would change if I stayed here for a few days. Anyway, Yujinsan also had things to do that required Donggu’s help.
While Joson was talking about Osundosun, soone ca and opened the door.
“You said his na was Mountain, right? Please co out for a mont. “Grandpa is looking for you.”
“yes.”
It was the reaction I expected.
Yu Jin-san exchanged glances with Yu Seol and then moved alone with his middle-aged wife.
“hmm. Is San-i normally so quiet? “Contrary to your sister Seol, you have a quiet and calm personality.”
“…yes.”
Jinsan Yu spared words as much as possible. This is because the children’s speaking style was not only awkward, but it was also not very pleasant.
The woman, who didn’t know what was happening, nodded as if she understood and walked in silence.
After a while, we arrived at a small training hall at the back of the manor.
An old man with white hair was standing tall, clutching a sword.
And the people watching him.
Two of them had worried expressions on their faces.
“Father, don’t overdo it.”
“And what if you hurt your back?”
It was natural for the family mbers to be worried.
It had to be because the last ti the head of the family held a sword was decades ago.
Nevertheless, his will was firm.
The will to rebuild a collapsing family at any cost.
Facing him in front of him, Yu Jin-san couldn’t help but feel bitter as his old self ca to mind.
“You are our family’s only hope. “I hope your guess was correct.”
Dongwoon-geol was holding a real sword, not even a wooden sword.
And you’re aiming it at your young grandson? At best, I thought he was teaching martial arts, but it was an action that went beyond everyone’s expectations.
“Father, what are you doing now?”
“What are you doing to your grandson…”
“Hurry and try to stop him.”
The youngest son, Dong-seok, tried to approach, but he had no choice but to stop. This is because Dongwoon-geol unleashed the spirit of a peak expert.
“Ugh!”
The family mbers could not understand the matriarch’s actions.
Among them was Dong-gu. How could you put a child who is trying to help you in danger?
“No, father!”
“noisy!”
Without anyone having ti to stop him, Dongwoon-geol was already taking action.
The blade heading towards Yujinsan’s neck.
Everyone’s eyes widened in surprise at the sharp attack, as if it would cut off the child’s supply at once.
The only person who was unwavering and peaceful was Jinsan Yu.
He was seeing right through. It is a wasteland without any killing energy. Perhaps you are testing yourself.
It was okay to stay still, but now there was no reason to hide the fact that I had learned martial arts.
And in order to help Dong-gu, he had to show so of his skills.
Yu Jin-san slightly twisted his upper body and dodged the sword with minimal movent.
Paang-!
The mont when the tip of the sword passes in front of Yu Jin-san’s nose and blows out wind. A smile appeared on Dongwoon-geol’s face for the first ti.
His attack did not end with a single shot but continued.
Faster and faster. And even stronger.
Nevertheless, Jinsan Yu’s evasive movents were leisurely.
The family mbers who were watching from the corner of the training hall looked as if they were watching sothing in vain.
On the contrary, Dongwoon-geol was overco with joy.
“That’s amazing! “It’s really amazing!”
The head of the family’s swordsmanship was quite excellent.
Speed and sharpness that leaves no doubt about the level of climax.
But is it because the bones have hardened? There was no flexibility in movent and most attacks were swung with one hand, so it was not difficult to avoid.
After a while, Dongwoon-geol stopped attacking and started laughing like a crazy person.
“haha! Hehehe!!”
It was the first smile I had seen since the day the first incident occurred.
For him, this was such a happy mont that he was able to suppress his sadness.
The family mbers had never seen the head of the household smile like this before.
“Let’s hug our grandson just once.”
He lifted the child up and placed it on his left chest.
Yu Jin-san, who was in Dong Woon-geol’s arms, had mixed feelings. I can’t believe I’m being treated like a child like this.
It was awkward and I couldn’t get used to it, but I pressed on and endured it. Because I saw my past in him.
What a fucking unfortunate fate. Although there were so differences, there were many similarities.
‘This is my friend. How can you not know that feeling? I’ll give up everything for today, so you can do whatever you want.’
From what I could guess, the head of the eastern family looked similar to his actual age. Maybe that’s why I felt a strange sense of kinship.
So I cleared my mind and just blankly let myself go with the flow of the situation.
Before he knew it, he was in front of Dong-gu, held in the arms of the matriarch.
“Our Dong-gu has done a really great job. “I may have the virtue of being in my blood, but it wouldn’t have been possible if you hadn’t raised well.”
“….”
What answer can I give?
Dong-gu’s mind was so confused right now that he couldn’t bear it. The scene I just saw felt like nothing.
“But how on earth did Sani’s martial arts skills grow so quickly? “There’s no way you could have raised it with your skills.”
Dong-gu beca desperate.
The situation was not well organized, but I had to make a decision quickly and respond.
But the outco was already decided.
You can’t overturn the fact that you already said it was your child and say it was a lie.
Moreover, if I were to tell the truth, my father might collapse again from disappointnt.
‘Anyway, it’s a lie that started once. Adding a little more won’t make any difference.’
There was no turning back now.
Dong-gu, who had made up his mind, spoke softly with a solemn expression.
“I had a lot of experience, but most importantly, I had a great teacher from a young age.”
“I guess so. This cannot happen normally. So, who was your teacher?
Dong-gu also felt like things should happen as they should.
He chose one of the strongest masters he had heard of and surrounded him.
“He has the nickna Geomseon (劍仙). Have you heard of it?”
“What what? “Is that true?”
How can you not know? A master whose swordsmanship has reached the level of immortality.
He was also famous for being one of the top ten masters representing Moorim.
“It’s true. He was noticed by him when he was only three years old, beca his disciple, and continued teaching for five years in the remote mountains. “That’s why the child beca speechless.”
Dong-gu was embarrassed and blad himself for talking gibberish.
The situation was growing out of control.
‘What did I just say?’
My mind was so confused.
However, contrary to my worries, my father seed to easily agree.
“cancer. It seems that Geomseon was jealous after seeing my grandson’s muscles. That makes sense. So where is he now?”
If you can get help from Geomseon, why worry about Ha Huse?
But expectations are just expectations. He couldn’t help but feel disappointed at Dong-gu’s next words.
“He died while fighting with Geomhu.”
My father retired from Gangho decades ago anyway. Even if they just made it up randomly, how would you know?
If a swordsman had been found sowhere in Gangho, it would have been frowned upon.
“I see. After all, we have to solve it with our own strength. But as long as this child is here, there will be no problem.”
“…What are you thinking? No matter how good your martial arts skills are, there are limits unless you have enough experience. “I will step forward.”
The matriarch sighed in frustration and looked at Dong-gu.
“Dong-gu.”
“Yes, father.”
“Even if there were 100 people at your level, they wouldn’t be able to defeat this kid. “If you don’t know much about your child, you should at least know your own subject. How can you say sothing so careless?”
“But…”
“Don’t worry. “Because I’ve already decided.”
“…yes? What?”
The family mbers who were watching focused their attention on the matriarch’s mouth.
“I will pass on my skills to Sani. “So that we can crush their noses flat with the overwhelming difference in power.”
It was a very shocking statent.
Passing on your skills to others can be extrely painful and even put your life at risk.
“No, father!”
“If you do that, you might die.”
Dongwoon-geol shook his head horizontally as if he had already made up his mind.
“I won’t live long anyway. If I can just watch them collapse, I have no choice but to die right now.”
Although the head of the family insisted, Yu Jin-san, who was actually involved, was unwilling to accept the current situation.
How can he, who is not related to the head of the family, receive his help?
After thinking for a mont, Jinsan Yu cautiously opened his first sentence.
