Absolute Sword Sense - Chapter 346
[Side Story Episode 1: The Story of So Yeong-yeong (2)]
The head of the Seyang family hurriedly left after my words turned out to be a threat rather than a threat.
Mrs. Yang, who was embarrassed by that, looked at me as if I was dumbfounded and said,
“…What is this?”
under!
That’s what I want to say.
I spoke to her in a cold voice.
“Even though I have a thick face, it seems difficult to be like you, Madam Yang.”
“what?”
“It’s shameless of you to think of taking advantage of your brother’s reputation after treating him with such low regard.”
Mrs. Yang’s face turned bright red at my almost sarcastic remark.
If it weren’t for the procession waiting outside the reception room or Namgoong Gahee, I would have been screaming a long time ago.
The hand holding the teacup was trembling and she barely opened her lips.
“Who took advantage of that kid’s fame? That’s something to say to the parents who raised you….”
“Raise me? under! Who are you saying raised you? Did you raise them by feeding them poison so that they would suffer from poison and destroy their Danjeon? Or was he kicked out of the family…”
“You!”
Mrs. Yang shouted in embarrassment.
It seems like he’s getting restless for fear that the customers outside will hear him.
She looked at Namgoong Gahee next to me and said as if explaining.
“It seems like my daughter is upset and is venting about facts that she didn’t know about. I don’t know which noble family she belongs to, but I hope you don’t misunderstand.”
“There is nothing to misunderstand. “Because you already know.”
“If you have any regrets, please tell this mother separately. “No matter how much it is, it’s not right to lie like this in front of customers.”
lie?
She truly is a woman with no conscience.
And at the same time, I think it’s amazing.
To save one’s face, one is blatantly lying about the facts.
Great.
I was already planning to end the relationship, but now is the time to make sure I end it.
“Ah, what I said was a lie? “Then I guess we don’t need the antidote anymore?”
“Antidote?”
“I heard that you revealed the whole truth to your brother and even took poison yourself?”
Mrs. Yang raised her eyebrows at my words and said.
“Poison? “What kind of poison are you talking about?”
I frowned at her flirtatious words.
Judging from the casual way he spoke, it appears he has obtained an antidote.
Well, it had been a long time since he had been poisoned, but there was no way that the Great Master of Ikyang Soga, which boasted the largest scale in Hunan Province along with the Hyeongsan Sect, would be helpless.
But whose younger brother do you think I am?
“iced coffee. It looks like you’ve discovered the secret to an antidote. However, my brother told me that if you take a poorly prepared antidote, over time, the skin starting from the ankles will gradually turn yellow and the flesh will rot.”
At my words, Mrs. Yang lowered her head without realizing it.
And then, for a moment, he raised his head as if he had missed it.
At this, I clicked my tongue and said.
“There’s no way someone who’s never been poisoned would look at their ankle because they’re conscious of what I’m saying, right?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Harding simichi is no use. And if your brother finds out that you are using his reputation like this, do you think he will leave you alone?”
At those words, Mrs. Yang’s expression hardened.
I’m sure I’m afraid of my brother.
A man like that would use his brother’s fame to enrich his own personal interests.
I warned her as she couldn’t say anything.
“Don’t ever think about doing anything with your brother’s reputation again. “If you keep doing this, I, not you, will not forgive you.”
“what?”
Mrs. Yang looked shocked.
I feel like I want to punch that disgusting face, but I am the vice-lord of the Phoenix Party of the Jeongdo Martial Arts League.
You can’t hit someone who hasn’t even learned martial arts.
So, I have to say everything I have to say.
“And so do I! I am not something you can do whatever you want with me. From now on, don’t even dream of arranging my marriage on your own terms.”
“How dare you!”
“How dare you? “Did I say something I shouldn’t have said?”
“I fed and raised my concubine as much as I could…..”
– Clap!
“evil!”
I slapped her before she even finished speaking.
I couldn’t stand it any longer, no matter what the political faction was.
Mrs. Yang, who had been slapped, must have been so angry that she also shouted, no longer paying attention to the outside of the reception room or to Namgoong Gahee, who had come with me.
“Such a vulgar…..”
– Clap!
I punched her on the other cheek.
He approached her with her cheek turned to the right and spoke in a whisper.
“Mrs. Yang.”
“you! you!”
“You are overlooking something. Do you still think that my mother was a maid who did odd jobs in a small household?”
Mrs. Yang was speechless at my words.
I guess I forgot that I was also a child from the same litter because I only care about my brother.
Her mother was the wife of Musangseong Seongju and the only daughter of her maternal grandfather, the head of Biwol Yeongjong.
My status is not something that she can disparage, as she comes from a noble family with only a little bit of fame in the province.
I spoke sarcastically into her ear.
“Already, my maternal grandfather and the peerless Lord of the castle are looking after me, so if they continue to give me justification like this, it would be a good thing for me. Please keep living like this.”
Mu…Musangseong….
At these words, Mrs. Yang trembled with a pale face.
Seeing her so intimidated, I felt much better.
“Sister, let’s go.”
When I realized the reality, I left her frozen and went out.
Namgoong Gahee, who followed me, smiled and said to me.
“I never thought our spirit medium had this side.”
“It was ugly, wasn’t it?”
“no. “It felt so refreshing.”
“really? “I was embarrassed because I felt like I was showing my sister the bean powder family.”
“What is soybean powder? Yeongmae has the most wonderful older brother in the world and new sisters who dominate the martial arts world.”
I was so grateful to my sister for saying this.
I felt better and told her.
“I think it would be nice if you were my new sister.”
At my words, Namgoong Gahee waved her hand and said,
“Uhm… I’ll decline. “I don’t have the confidence to survive among your new sisters.”
She was honest.
Even if it were me, I wouldn’t even be able to dream if my competitors were such monsters.
Anyway, I warned her, so it’s up to me whether I accept it or not.
If you are afraid of the consequences, you will have no choice but to accept it.
“So are you going to see the matriarch now?”
“I think I should go get my luggage before that.”
I think I should first entrust my luggage to the people I brought with me and send it to Mussangseong.
That way, I will be able to see the head of the family and leave Soga immediately.
* * *
It was when I was disposing of unnecessary items after leaving my mother’s loom and luggage at Sonyang Pyo-guk.
I saw someone rushing towards me.
Namgoong Gahee, who was helping with the cleanup, frowned and said.
“Who is coming so scary?”
As she said, the person approaching was running as if he was going to kill her.
He was Soyoon Soyun, the second son of the Ikyang Soga.
It’s been a while since I’ve seen this face, but I’m not happy, but I’m annoyed by the role.
So Yoon, who had crossed the pavilion, shouted at me.
“Soyoungyoung!”
“ha.”
A sigh comes out of my mouth.
Seeing how many goals there were, I think it was because I went to Peonydang.
Sure enough, the guy started yelling at me.
“Is it because you said something to your mother that you collapsed again after you came and left?”
You collapsed?
I guess my mind and body are quite weak.
Actually, I have always been a person who groans when I get angry.
But he wasn’t the only one who came.
Another young man was coming beyond the pavilion, and he was So Yeong-hyeon, the eldest son of the So family.
As soon as So Young-hyeon saw me, she said in an unpleasant voice.
“What did you say to your mother?”
He also came to ask me about this.
At this, I smiled and said to my brothers.
“Later, when Mrs. Yang wakes up, ask her directly.”
At my words, my eldest son, So Young-hyeon, slightly raised an eyebrow.
My second son, So Yoon, did not hide his feelings from the beginning, so he immediately got angry at my words.
“This bitch trusts that bastard Unhwi and is extremely self-indulgent! That guy isn’t here now…”
“Stop.”
So Young-hyeon dissuaded So So-yoon.
Still, I wondered if he was able to judge the situation to some extent, but his gaze was directed towards Namgoong Gahee.
So Young-hyeon said as she grabbed her sister.
“Are you, by any chance, the head of the Phoenix Hall, Nangong Gahee Soje?”
My sister also responded by lightly taking the gun.
“yes. “This is Namgoong Gahee.”
“The Namgung family?”
So So-yoon’s eyes widened.
I guess I didn’t expect that the older sister next to me was from the Five Generations, a family that can be said to be the main force of the Martial Arts League.
On the other hand, So Yeong-hyeon recognized her sister because she had been to the martial arts league before.
“It is an honor to see the white peach flower among the three peaks.”
I think I understand after hearing his soft tone of voice.
Even so, I know that neither the Mo Yong family nor the Zhuge family that are in contact will do well.
In the meantime, it was natural for my eyes to roll when I saw my older sister, one of the three most beautiful women in the martial arts world and the daughter of the most prestigious shaman family.
However,
“Ah. yes.”
He was not the object of her sister’s interest.
I heard from me how these two brothers have been misbehaving since they were young. Would you be interested?
So Young-hyeon glared at me fiercely at the coldness in her tone.
I guess I don’t have any sense.
I smiled and shrugged my shoulders.
So Yeong-hyeon, whose expression was distorted as if she was intoxicated, soon tried to say something to me.
“How on earth did you spread false rumors about Sojeo Namgung…”
“Ha! lie? “Like Mrs. Yang, you are also shameless.”
“Mrs. Yang? You?”
“Then what shall we call it? Should I say you guys?”
“…….You call my brothers carelessly like that. What do your monks, the Hyeongsan Sect and the Martial Arts League, think if they see you like this? What does it matter to you what they think
? .”
“You bitch!”
Unlike So Yeong-hyeon, who was somewhat saving his face, So Yoon, the second son, who could not control his anger, eventually reached out to me.
When I was young, he would often hit my brother and me with his hands.
But there is one thing he is mistaken about.
“joy!”
-Papa pak!
There was no way he, an idiot who couldn’t even properly master his family’s martial arts, could be my opponent, the best disciple of the Hyeongsan Women’s Association and one of the five female late-stage exponents of the Martial Arts League.
I dodged his hand in an instant, grabbed his wrist using the Hyeongsanpa’s Geumnasu technique, and immediately bent him backwards.
“Ouch! “Let it go!”
“Where is this bitch and that bitch? And even if you’re not my brother, do you think it would be that difficult to subdue someone like you?”
Illusion is freedom.
I think I held back all this time because I was scared of you.
When I was young, I endured it for my brother’s sake, and when I grew up, I only tolerated it because you guys were behaving carelessly with my adoptive wife and maternal family on their backs.
“Let go! “Let go!”
“Why are you going to go to my mother’s house if I don’t let go?”
“Ouch, you damn bitch…”
“Stop!”
When my younger brother, So Yoon, was in pain, So Young Hyun shouted at me.
Regardless, I applied even more force.
Twist just a little more and you’ll break not only your wrist but also your elbow.
“You really make me use my hands!”
So Young-hyeon tried to throw a new weapon at me.
At that time, a loud cry like a lion’s roar echoed throughout the hall.
“stop!!!”
Everyone looked at that place in shock.
I saw the head of the family, Soikheon, standing with his vassals in front of the palace with his back to me.
‘Have I become stronger?’
I couldn’t help but be surprised.
Just looking at the energy in her voice, the matriarch’s strength has become stronger than before.
It was said that he had made a deal with his brother and learned all the sword techniques of the Sudongpae Sword. With this momentum, he might have reached the pinnacle of excellence.
“What is this fuss about?”
“Ah, father…”
So So-yoon called him, blushing as if he had been sold.
When the head of the family appeared, the older sister seemed to have no choice but to say hello, so she hurriedly took her hand.
“Namgung Gahi, head of the Phoenix Party of the Wulin Federation, meets the head of the Ikyang Soga.”
“The Namgung family?”
The family head’s expression changed when he heard the words Namgung Seok.
It certainly seems that the reputation of the Five Generations Sega is great.
The heads of families I have seen did not even look at anyone unless they were members of the prestigious Daemun faction with a reputation similar to that of the Five Generations or the Nine factions.
It would be better not to admit it.
“It’s nice to hear that the daughter of the Namgung family is visiting here.”
The head of the family lightly hugged me and looked at me again and said.
“Let go of your brother right now. “What are you doing in front of the daughter of the Namgung family?”
“Shouldn’t we start by asking what happened? And since when did this person become my brother? “Wasn’t Brother Unhwi and I the master of Soga?”
For the first time, I revealed my feelings honestly.
At this, the matriarch’s face hardened horribly.
“…You’re complaining too much. “There are definitely ups and downs between siblings, so how can you be so careless?”
She was the head of the family who saved her face because there were many people watching.
But if it was going to end here, it didn’t even start.
-Park!
Pfft!
I roughly let go of So Yoon’s broken arm and greeted the matriarch with a hug.
“I wanted to come see you in person, but thank you for coming to the annex in person.”
The head of the family spoke in my voice, which was full of harsh weather.
“You are full of dissatisfaction.”
“yes. It’s full. “Since when did you start using your reputation to take tribute from the surrounding merchants and samurai families by acknowledging you and I as your children?”
“That’s…”
The head of the house was speechless at my question.
Judging from her reaction, it seems that she knew and tolerated Mrs. Yang taking advantage of her brother’s reputation.
Also, he must have convinced himself by citing his own justification that it was for the sake of the family.
I got straight to the point with the head of the household.
“I was going to come see you in person, but since you came like this, I’ll tell you. “Like Brother Unhwi, I also plan to sever ties with the Ikyang Soga from today.”
“what?”
The matriarch’s expression darkened at my words.
I guess he didn’t expect that I would sever ties with my family.
The matriarch, who was speechless for a moment, finally calmed down her anger and parted her lips.
“…….You are my daughter.”
“It’s not as bad as my brother, but I also don’t remember living as a daughter.”
“How can you say that…”
“Have you ever said a warm word to your brother or me just because you were concerned about Mrs. Yang?”
“That’s…”
“You became even more callous after your mother passed away.”
The head of the family could not bear to answer, as if she could not deny it.
I still can’t understand why my mother liked this man.
I said as I handed over the Ikyang Soga family tile that was in my arms.
“Then I understand that the head of the family has agreed….”
“I cannot agree!”
“yes?”
“You are the only trace that connects your mother and me. “That is a fact that never changes.”
I was shocked by the matriarch’s words.
Shouldn’t you have said that in front of Mrs. Yang and these brothers from the beginning?
What is the use of someone who has never said a warm word to these people because of what they thought of their maternal family, and now they have to say that he is their father again?
“It’s already over.”
-thud!
As soon as I finished speaking, the head of the family stepped forward.
The floor cracked and left deep grooves.
“If you want to end your relationship with Jeong and your wife, be like a martial artist and try to defeat this father by force. In that case, I will accept that you break off the relationship.”
“under! “It seems a bit far-fetched.”
“It is said that parents and children are a natural relationship. “You, too, are trying to force yourself to go against heaven’s law. What does this mean?”
Quite a bit.
You’re trying to hold on to me in this ridiculous way.
Even persuading is not enough.
Nevertheless, the matriarch spoke to me in a voice full of determination.
“It is a fact that will never change that your mother is my wife. “If you don’t have the confidence to defeat this father by force, stop tarnishing the family like that…” That
was right then.
“Who is your wife?”
A loud shouting sound was heard from somewhere.
Everyone’s eyes turned to that place.
An old man with white hair and a white beard was standing there with an angry look on his face.
“My maternal grandfather!”
The old man was none other than his maternal grandfather Ha Sung-woon.
He was the head of the matchless Biwol Yeongsong and was once famous as a Biwol swordsman.
Due to the circumstances, the moment I saw my maternal grandfather, I was so happy that I rushed over.
“My maternal grandfather!”
“Oh my, Yonsuk.”
My maternal grandfather, who had a scary face, changed to a kind face and patted my head.
“How did you get here?
“I came to see our Yeongyeong’s face and to finish the matter with Ikyang Sogawa.
“ah!
I thought it was somehow elaborate.
Even so, my maternal grandfather endured it to improve his body and regain his martial arts skills, but I knew that he had been practicing for a long time.
“You mean my maternal grandfather?”
The head of the house looked embarrassed.
It seems that he never knew that his mother’s father, or maternal grandfather, was still alive.
The head of the family, who was at a loss for a moment, approached my maternal grandfather and said,
“…Are you really Ha-ryeong’s father?”
Hearing his words, my maternal grandfather pressed me again with an angry look on his face.
“How dare you call my daughter’s name carelessly!”
“I think there is some misunderstanding, sir. I am Ha-ryeong’s husband…”
-Gooooooo!
At that moment, the head of the family stopped speaking due to a huge energy swirling from somewhere.
And then I looked at the person wearing a bamboo hat behind my maternal grandfather.
The energy rushing from him was literally like a storm.
‘ah!’
I immediately knew who he was.
However, everyone in the hall was so shocked that they couldn’t say anything with pale faces.
At that time, the bamboo lip person took off the bamboo lip he was wearing and opened his mouth.
“So, the head of the family. You have no right to talk about Haryeong’s husband.
He was none other than Jin Seong-baek, the Heartless Wind God.
