Warrior Grandpa and Supreme Granddaughter - Chapter 279
Episode 279: My Eyes Can’t Fool Me (2)
Unbelievably, there were no scars on Elder Kwak’s wrist.
I was certain given the circumstances. It was something I couldn’t understand.
So who on earth is the culprit?
Around the time everyone was looking puzzled.
Taaa-!
Suddenly, someone started running frantically in the opposite direction.
“Executive brother Jeong Jeong-hyeon is running away!”
It was truly a race like a fierce battle.
His back, performing a light attack with all his might, was moving away at high speed.
Several mundos chased after him, but no one could catch up. No, on the contrary, the distance became even further.
Elder Kwak shouted urgently.
“That guy is the criminal, so catch him quickly!”
Yoo Seol let go of his wrist and turned her head to look.
But I didn’t even think about chasing it. Because the grandfather had already made the first move.
The sight of him running through the air was as fast as an arrow.
The disciples of Taeeulmun Gate could not help but be amazed by the amazing light technique.
“Wow….”
“Is that the void?”
“It’s really no joke.”
The disciples of Taeeulmun Gate were thrilled to see the hollow step for the first time.
In the blink of an eye, the distance between Yu Jin-san and Jeong Hyeon became very short.
And then one more breath passed. Yujinsan’s new form came crashing down on his head.
Tsk-!
It was the sound of Eugene-san’s front foot hitting Jeong-hyeon’s neck.
Eventually, he grabbed Jeong-hyeon, whose body was limp, and started to go back.
“You boasted that the culprit was not an insider, but it turns out it was you.”
“….”
He looked desperate, as if he had already given up on everything.
After a while, Yu Jin-san returned to his place and threw him to the floor.
dump-!
Yu Seol, who had been waiting, walked towards him and snatched his wrist.
“Stay still!”
Everyone focused their attention on his wrist.
After a while, the sleeves were rolled up little by little, and the wrists began to be visible.
As expected, there was a clear scar from being scratched by something.
Seeing this, the disciples of Taeeulmun trembled with a sense of betrayal.
“How could the execution of Sa….”
“Are you really saying that execution of Jeong Hyeon harmed Lord Moon?”
“Don’t even call that bastard a death sentence!”
Finally, one of the elders slapped him on the cheek as he knelt down.
slam-!
“How could you betray a monk!? “Can’t we hurry up and tell it!!”
“….”
Yu Jin-san and her granddaughter took a step back and watched the interrogation.
Jeonghyeon lowered his head and kept his mouth shut.
That sight made the other elders even more angry.
“He’s like an animal that doesn’t even know the grace that raised him!”
“You won’t open your mouth? “Okay then, first, I’ll cut off all of your limbs and veins!”
Abolish the Dan Tian and cut the limb muscles. That means being reduced to a ruined person.
That was the general rule of political factions.
But Jeong Hyeon, who murdered Munju, would not end there.
As the elder twisted his sword, someone suddenly blocked his path.
It was Bang Yu-cheol, the ambassador type.
“Just a moment, Elder Yeon!”
“Get out of the way.”
“Isn’t it better to listen to the content first? “I will talk to you.”
“He has already been found to be the culprit, so what more conversation is needed? And it won’t help.”
Jeonghyeon kept his mouth shut as if he wasn’t going to say anything.
The eyes were bloodshot and red with venom.
Bang Yu-cheol knelt down on one knee next to him and said.
“I can’t believe a priest did that. There must be something we don’t know about. yes?”
While everyone was booing, he was the only one who said warm words.
Is that why? Suddenly, Jeonghyeon’s pupils began to make earthquakes.
“…Please kill me, Ambassador. “Because I am the criminal.”
Although he admitted to the crime, there were still parts that were unclear.
The subdued voice and trembling shoulders clearly seemed to indicate that it was unfair.
“That’s not all. Go ahead and say it. “I know the heart of a priest better than anyone else.”
At this moment, Bang Yu-cheol’s warm words touched Jeong Hyeon’s heart.
Eventually, he burst into tears.
“Okay….”
Bang Yu-cheol patted Jeong Hyeon on the shoulder and continued his persuasion.
“What on earth happened?”
“I… I committed a mortal sin. They said if you don’t cooperate, they’ll tell you everything…”
“Who said that? And what do you mean?”
Jeonghyeon suddenly started banging his head on the floor.
bang-! bang-! bang-!
You may be abusing yourself out of guilt.
Blood was flowing freely from my head. If you leave it like this, you will die.
Bang Yu-cheol grabbed his shoulder.
His face was already covered in tears and blood.
“…I deserve to die. They intercepted the money collected from the painting merchants and lost it all on the battlefield. “Hehehehe.”
Not only did he embezzle the clan’s funds, he squandered them in battle.
It was a problem that, if discovered, would result in excommunication.
“Listen to me, priest. From now on, it is more important to correct this situation.”
“…yes.”
“Hurry up and tell me who it was who just took advantage of that weakness and manipulated the priest. “Because that is my way of apologizing to Lord Moon.”
Jeonghyeon hesitated for a moment and then nodded.
Then he responded with eyes full of anger.
“Elder Kwak gave me arsenic powder. And he said if I didn’t do as he was told, everything would be revealed.”
At that moment, everyone looked around.
It was to catch the evil beast behind it.
But he was no longer visible anywhere.
“Where did you go?”
“It looks like he ran away too!”
“You damn old man!”
The disciples’ eyes rolled back at his evil deeds.
“Elder Yeon! Shall we spread out and search?”
At that time, Yu Jin-san, who had been watching silently, spoke one word instead.
“It will be in vain. Because the monster has already chased after me.”
Taking advantage of the interrogation, Elder Kwak secretly left the place and ran away, but he could not fool Yin Kai.
just as expected.
Someone pointed their index finger to the sky.
“Look over there!”
An evil lump was flying towards Elder Kwak, grabbing him by the back of his neck.
It was a light attack technique on a completely different level from the air treadmill that Yang Gui had performed a moment ago.
“Is something like that possible?”
“No way, is that the legendary light attack technique called Neunggongheodo?”
“…Oh my god.”
Soon after arriving at the location, Yoo Seol put Elder Kwak down on the floor.
But he was unconscious.
From the swollen face to the bloody clothes. It was clear that he had been beaten up tremendously.
One of the mundos approached and examined him carefully.
“Oh, I’m still hiding.”
At that time, Elder Yeon, who was watching the scene with a blank expression, spoke softly.
“Bring both of you. “I will return to my clan and deal with it according to the rules.”
Now all that was left was punishment for the two accomplices.
The whole case has been concluded.
Elder Yeon, as the representative of Taeeulmun, approached the yin-yang pair and put his hands together.
“Thanks to the two of you, we were able to recover the missing money and confirm the inside story of the incident. thank you so much.”
Yu Seol tilted his head and said.
“Taeeulmun is the Murim Alliance. Is it okay for you to say that to us?”
“If you forsake humanity and righteousness because you are afraid of Meng’s rules, how are you any different from those two guys? If you don’t mind, please give me the opportunity to entertain you for a meal.”
Jinsan Yu, who was watching at that time, resolutely shook his head.
“We have an uncomfortable relationship with each other, so what’s the point of such a situation? “Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, let’s go.”
There was no reason to stay here any longer.
Even if he had said that at Taeeulmun, he would have felt uncomfortable. If there was even a rumor that he had entertained the Yin-Yang twin monsters, there was no way the Murim Alliance would look upon him favorably.
Yu Seol also seemed to know this and turned his back without hesitation.
“Let’s go, grandpa. “I’ll buy you noodles.”
“OK. Even without that, I wanted to eat meat noodles.”
The elders of Taeeulmun Gate watched the back of the yin-yang twin monsters moving away.
No one could take their eyes off them until they were completely out of sight.
* * *
Joson was leaving Taeeulmun Gate and heading toward the village. It was to fill the stomach here.
“Grandpa. What will happen to those two?”
“Wouldn’t it be handled according to the rules of the clan? “He will probably be severely punished because he murdered the greatest of the four monks.”
“So we’re both going to die?”
“hmm. Elder Kwak will definitely be executed. And the guy named Jeong-hyeon is repenting for his sins, so if he’s lucky, it might be an extenuating circumstance. “At least the limb veins will be severed.”
At that time, Yu Seol sighed and looked back.
This is because Bang Yu-cheol, Taeeul-mun’s great brother, was following him steadily.
“Why do you keep following me again?”
“That…”
Yoo Seol opened her eyes and glared at him. It was as if his eyes were on guard.
“Are you here to get my loot back? I can’t give that back. “I already wrote it all down.”
It was a story about the eunja that I acquired from Bang Yu-cheol when I first met him.
Perhaps he assumed that he was following them to get it back.
At that time, Bang Yu-cheol waved his hand in a more polite tone than before.
“It’s not because of that. “I don’t need any money.”
Only now did Yu Seol’s face lose its guard. Instead, a soft smile was blooming in its place.
“Hi-Hi. “Then why did you follow me?”
Bang Yu-cheol, who hesitated for a moment, suddenly put his hands together and lowered his head.
“Thank you so much! “I feel relieved to have to greet you like this…”
Yu Jin-san, who was watching, waved his left hand as if to tell him not to worry.
“There is nothing to store. “We just caught someone impersonating us.”
“I… and I think I should tell you this too.”
“What?”
Bang Yu-cheol looked around and carefully checked to see if there were any eyes watching.
After making sure no one was there, I spoke in a whisper.
“Actually, the reason I followed you two in the first place was to report their location to the Murim Alliance.”
It was something I had already expected.
It may have been a plan to inform the Nambubunta of the Murim Alliance of the location of the Yin-Yang Twin Monsters and ask for Munju’s revenge. Of course, there is little chance of it being implemented.
Yu Jin-san said with a grin.
“I knew it. Then you could have come after us to surprise us. “The following was a bit excessive, so I just assumed there was a story behind it.”
“Ah… And there was also an order that came from Chongta. “If you find them, please continue to report their location.”
“Well, how can that only happen in a day or two?”
At that time, Bang Yu-cheol lowered his voice even further.
“Actually, there was information that I heard directly from Master Moon before he passed away. “They say an assassination team has been formed from the Murim Alliance to catch you two.”
I had heard something similar from Eunhwarin of Heukyabang.
Perhaps what she said was true.
It wasn’t surprising, but Jinsan Yu reacted as if he was hearing it for the first time.
“Well. They were planning something like that, so I guess I should prepare. “I’ll keep that in mind.”
“Anyway, I came to tell you to be careful. “I heard that among them are the Taegeuk Sword Emperor of the Shaman faction and the Hwaryonggae of openness.”
Mujin, a Taegeuk swordsmith famous for being the best sword among shamans. And even Hwaryonggae, the greatest expert on openness and successor to the Ark.
Both of them were fearsome figures who were mentioned as the top ten martial arts masters.
In the past, just hearing the name would have made you nervous, but things are different now.
On the contrary, I thought it was a good thing that they came to see me on their own.
“But is it okay to give us this information?”
“…Because this is the only thing I can repay you.”
Even though they were hostile forces, Bang Yu-cheol could not help but feel grateful.
I wanted to give something in return, but what could Jin-san Yu give since he had nothing? He was now broke.
Instead, I was able to promise at least one thing.
“If by any chance we end up in an all-out war with the Murim Alliance, I will spare Taeeulmun for your sake.”
“Thank you.”
Now it was time to fill our bellies and set off on a long journey.
At that time, Yoo Seol grabbed Bang Yu-cheol’s collar and asked,
“But you didn’t eat, right? Do you want to eat noodles with us?”
“I came out in a hurry, so now I don’t have any money…”
Yoo Seol smiled and waved his purse.
“I’ll buy it for you.”
At that moment, a look of puzzlement appeared on Jinsan Yu’s face.
Strangely enough, the granddaughter’s bag seemed heavier than before.
‘When did the war chest get bigger? In the meantime, who else did the loot go to…?’
