Warrior Grandpa and Supreme Granddaughter - Chapter 388
Episode 388: My Most Precious Treasure (2)
Yoo Seol played with the round jewel of the brightly shining necklace.
This was the orb that ascended the divine beast to heaven?
I didn’t understand what it meant, but it seemed like a great item.
“grandma. “What is an orb?”
Baekyoran asked softly with a kind smile.
“Have you ever heard of the ethereal bead that is said to be carried by a dragon?”
Yoo Seol, who tilted his head for a moment, remembered something and clapped his hands.
“Yeoui Jewel (如意寶珠)!?”
“OK. You know it well. “The reason dragons can fly in the sky and perform magical magic is because of the spiritual power of this Yeoui Jewel.”
“Wow…”
Yu Seol couldn’t keep his mouth shut. It was such a precious item.
However, Yu Jin-san, who was looking from the other side, had a suspicious expression on his face.
“Aren’t you kidding me? “Where in the world is there a dragon flying in the sky?”
“Of course not now. However, there are many records of its existence in ancient times, thousands of years ago.”
In fact, if there were divine beasts, wouldn’t there be a dragon?
Just because it does not exist in the present, we cannot conclude that it did not exist in ancient times.
It would have been possible if it had been the most precious item of Emperor Shi Huangdi, a person from a thousand years ago.
“hmm. So what secret is there in Yeouiboju? “It’s not just for ornamental purposes.”
“To properly use the orb’s abilities, you must gain spirituality. But it’s impossible for humans.”
“Then what’s the point of it all?”
Instead of answering, Baek Yo-ran looked at Yu Seol and held out one hand.
“Could you please lend me your grandmother’s name for a moment?”
It seemed like he was going to tell me a secret.
Yu Seol quickly took off the necklace and held it out to her.
“Here you go.”
Bai Yoran, who was grasping the orb with his left hand, suddenly took out a sharp dagger.
As he took a stance as if he was about to harm himself, Yu Jin-san asked urgently.
“What are you doing now, grandma?”
“Just stay still.”
After speaking, she slashed her arm with a dagger without hesitation.
Jo Son blinked and watched the incomprehensible behavior.
“Grandma, what’s wrong? “My arm is bleeding.”
“It’s okay baby. “Keep watching.”
At that moment, something strange happened.
Suddenly, the orb that Bai Yaoran was holding in his left hand emitted a light so intense it was blinding.
At the same time, something amazing was unfolding before my eyes.
“The wound is healing!”
“I can’t believe it…”
It felt like a miracle was happening.
The wound from the knife healed instantly as if it had never happened before.
Such incredible regenerative abilities. It was a situation I couldn’t believe even when I saw it.
“how is it? “This is the greatest treasure, right?”
It was well worth the hardship of dying in the underground tomb.
Eugene San asked with wide eyes.
“If I just have that, does that make me immortal?”
Bai Yaoran firmly shook his head.
“If that were the case, Emperor Shi Huangdi wouldn’t have died. “The range of abilities that humans can use through the orb is probably limited to the degree to which it can regenerate wounds.”
“It seems like it can’t prevent natural death. “Anyway, are there any restrictions on using this amazing ability?”
Baek Yo-ran explained, pointing with his index finger to the phrase written in the old book.
“According to the records, the power of the orb is not infinite. “It says that if a fatal wound is regenerated, the light will fade.”
“hmm. “If anything, you get a chance to save your life.”
“Well, that’s kind of it.”
Baek Yo-ran returned the necklace to its owner as if she had completed her work.
Yoo Seol looked happier than ever.
“Thanks for letting me know, Grandma.”
“OK. “If you find anything valuable in the future, please bring it to me.”
“Hi-Hi.”
Yoo Seol, who was laughing, glanced at his grandfather and said.
“Grandpa. “I have work to do, so I’ll go back first.”
“why? “Let’s go together.”
“No, come back from playing with grandma. “You’re bored alone.”
Jinsan Yu tilted his head. This is because the granddaughter’s intentions were not guessed.
I tried to ask him something, but Yoo Seol had already left the drawing room.
“That guy really.”
* * *
Yu Seol did not return to Cheon Yuhoe’s headquarters.
He was still listening behind the pavilion of the painting room.
‘What do you two do every day? It’s suspicious.’
There were many things I was curious about, starting with the relationship between the two.
Yoo Seol, hiding in the darkness, began to spy on the sounds coming from inside without any trace.
Inside, a conversation was taking place in a more friendly tone than before.
“I’m so jealous I’m dying. “How did you end up with such a pretty granddaughter?”
“They all look like me, right? The same goes for the characters.”
Is there anyone in the world who doesn’t like praise?
Yu Seol blocked the laughter that was about to burst out with both hands.
I was thinking of eavesdropping a little more and then heading back.
“But San is my brother. “Isn’t today that day?”
“What day?”
“It’s the day my brother was born. “Wonsojeol (元宵節), when the full moon is the brightest.”
“How did you remember that? “I was so busy raising Seol that I forgot about it for over ten years.”
“Why do not you know. “I heard you always ate rice cakes with your family while looking at the full moon on New Year’s Day?”
“…phew.”
A sad sigh penetrated the wall and reached Yu Seol’s ears.
It seemed to remind me of the family that left before me.
“this. “Did I just say something wrong?”
“No need to worry. “It’s been so long that I can barely remember.”
“But why are you turning your head? “You’re not crying, are you?”
“What is this old woman talking about now?”
Yu Seol gave up on eavesdropping and immediately turned his back.
I felt like if I listened any more, I would just become depressed.
‘Ugh. ‘My poor old man.’
There was a place I had to stop by before going to headquarters.
Yu Seol’s steps went straight to the market.
As it was a holiday, there were many street vendors operating until late today.
There wasn’t a lot of population in the castle yet, but it was well stocked.
The streets were full of lanterns, and firecrackers were often seen exploding.
After a while of walking like that. Yu Seol’s vision spotted familiar faces on the street.
“Where are you guys going?”
They were six members of the protection unit, the lowest level of Cheonyuhoe’s armed forces.
Coincidentally, two of them were rescued from the ancient tomb by Yu Seol.
Looking at their red-faced faces, they must have been drinking with their colleagues and telling stories about the epic events of that time.
“Sashimi Lord!?”
“We are just coming out of that guest room!”
Yu Seol grinned and began to suggest something to them.
“Then can you help me for a moment?”
As if they had made a promise, the members of the shelter simultaneously kicked off their drunkenness with internal attacks.
Then they lined up with a solemn expression and put their legs together.
“It is an honour. “Just give me any orders.”
Before he was the leader of the Cheonyuhoe, who had to be obeyed absolutely, he was the supreme leader of the martial arts world and was an object of trust and a lifesaver.
They followed the rumor and headed to the market without even asking questions.
* * *
Yu Jin-san came out of the drawing room only after more than an hour had passed.
For some reason, his shoulders were slumped.
Walking helplessly towards headquarters, he raised his head and looked at the full moon.
Memories passed by like a flash of light through the moonlight.
It was a lie when he told Baek Yo-ran that he couldn’t remember.
It seems like it was just yesterday that everyone was sitting together in the yard of the Yu family and having a happy festival.
‘…I miss you all.’
Before he knew it, his steps were entering the administrative area of Tianyouhoe, the northern part of Xiaotian Province.
The warriors standing guard recognized his face and greeted him first.
“Hello, Elder!”
“Yes, there are a lot of hardships. “It’s a holiday, so let’s wrap things up today and go to the market and have a drink.”
What meaning would guard duty have in this place where the so-called martial arts masters are gathered? It was just a formality.
Moreover, since the Geumgun was deployed to maintain public order, there was no problem.
“Thank you, Elder!”
Eugene San put one hand behind his shoulder and continued walking.
After passing the large and small pavilions, he reached the high stone steps leading to the government office and stopped.
dump-!
He squatted on the stone steps and quietly watched the full moon.
It was to take some time to relax and organize my thoughts.
It was after a little more time had passed.
“…hmm?”
Suddenly, I felt a small presence behind my back.
An energy that is so familiar that you don’t even notice it.
The only granddaughter came to me without any mouse or bird noticing.
“Just stay still for a moment.”
Suddenly, I felt my granddaughter’s hand on my neck.
Yu Jin-san looked down inadvertently and made a puzzled expression.
Why is a necklace with a female orb hanging around my neck?
“What is this?”
“Well. “It’s a gift from Seol to Grandpa~”
It was something I couldn’t believe.
If it were a treasure, wouldn’t it be a granddaughter whose eyes would roll? Are you giving this precious thing to yourself?
Bewilderment took precedence over joy.
“baby. Isn’t this your most precious treasure? “Why are you giving it to Haejaebi?”
Yu Seol put her mouth to the grandfather’s ear and spoke in a whisper.
“Grandpa is my most precious treasure. So, no matter what happens, you can’t leave Seol and die alone. Understand?”
“….”
The granddaughter’s most precious treasure was herself…
Yu Jin-san could not answer the question. This is because I suddenly felt thirsty.
Besides, why do my eyes turn red without any precautions?
“Why aren’t you answering? “Promise me quickly.”
For Eugene San, the existence of his granddaughter was the last line of blood that he had to protect until the end and the reason for his life.
I never intended to die and leave you alone.
He quietly wiped away his tears and nodded.
“I promise you a little extra money. Instead, we can help Seol grow up healthy and without getting hurt, right?”
Yoo Seol hugged her grandfather’s neck from behind and laughed.
“Why are you so worried? “It’s me, Seol.”
A smile appeared on Jin-san Yu’s face at his granddaughter’s joke.
“OK. “I don’t know who’s worried about whom, even though my nose is three feet tall.”
“Hi-Hi. But grandpa, aren’t you hungry? “Let’s go get a snack.”
Why are you talking about snacks at this hour?
However, if my granddaughter wanted to do it, there was nothing I couldn’t do.
“That would be nice too. “But what kind of snack?”
“Let’s go eat rice cake. “I suddenly want to eat rice cake.”
It was something I could never understand.
As Yoo Jin-san remembers, his granddaughter was not a child who liked rice cakes.
“…It’s rice cake. But I don’t know if there’s a place selling it at this time.”
As if she knew this would happen, Yoo Seol grabbed the grandfather’s hand and pulled him.
“I already saved it. “Let’s go.”
“What are you talking about. You said you bought rice cakes in advance? when?”
“Let’s go over there first. “I prepared it.”
What on earth have you prepared?
Jinsan Yu was confused but helplessly dragged by his granddaughter.
“Yeah, I got it. “What a guy.”
The place we arrived at, led by our granddaughter, was a palace on the outskirts of the headquarters, which was now empty.
But inside, the lights had grown bigger and there was a sense of popularity.
“It’s here. “Come on in.”
I couldn’t guess what the hell it was.
Yu Jin-san opened the door without thinking and gave a puzzled look.
“…What kind of banquet is this? “What day is today?”
All kinds of food were laid out on a long table.
All kinds of rice cakes, as well as longevity noodles and peaches that are eaten on birthdays. At first glance, it looked like a banquet.
At that moment, Yoo Seol gently grabbed his shoulder from behind and started pushing him inside.
“Then~ It’s a very important day!”
“…?”
It was when Yu Jin-san closed his eyes for a moment.
Suddenly, security guards dressed like clowns appear from behind the folding screen.
“Elder Yanggoi! Happy Birthday!!”
“How can you do that…”
At that time, I heard my granddaughter whispering in my ear again.
“Congratulations, grandpa. “I prepared everything.”
Eugene San’s eyes became red again.
Until now, I haven’t even had time to think about anniversaries or anything like that. Because I was running straight ahead in front of my goal of revenge.
“Grandpa has never been able to do anything for you until now…”
“Grandpa is the greatest gift to me. There are a lot of things you didn’t do while raising me, right? “Now you can do whatever you want.”
“Baby…”
“First, sit down quickly. “I have something else prepared.”
He was led by his granddaughter’s hand and forced to sit on a chair.
“What else have you prepared? “It’s burdensome.”
Soon, costumed security guards lined up in a row.
“They say this is a gift from the guys. “I didn’t order it.”
“What?”
As soon as the words are finished, the security guards start dancing, shaking their shoulders and buttocks.
Soon, the granddaughter slipped into their gap and started moving together.
Yu Jin-san, who was watching the scene, could not hold back the laughter that burst out.
“What do you think, Grandpa!? Do you like our gift?”
Is it just that I like it?
At this moment, a happier smile appeared on Yu Jin-san’s face than ever before.
