The Return of the Namgoong Clan’s Granddaughter - Chapter 160



Only Noblemtl

Episode 160

It was painful to clear the blocked blood vessel, but it didn’t take long.

It was unclear whether it was because the man had a high level of skill or because his condition was not that serious to begin with.

The important thing is that the blocked blood vessel was cleared and Yu Kang regained his lost air power.

Hooooooo… .

The pink aura of the volcano rose from Yu Kang’s body once again.

I didn’t know I would regain my strength so quickly.

‘Why don’t you close the dantian?’

He learned martial arts as a disciple of Hwasan, but threatened to leave Hwasan.

So, it is natural that the Danjeon would be closed so that the volcano’s martial arts could not be used.

‘Why… .’

“What is this between you and the Heavenly Dragon Sword Emperor?”

Yoo Kang looked up and looked at the man.

I realized this clearly when I unblocked the blood vessel.

The reason why she couldn’t feel this man’s energy was because this man’s realm was so high that she couldn’t even dare to fathom it.

“…He is my benefactor.”

“Benefactor?”

He tossed something into the air and caught it. Yu Kang immediately recognized the square object, which was about the size of a palm.

It was Namgung Mucheon’s sword.

When was that…!

“Give it back!”

When Yu Kang ran to him and tried to snatch the sword away, he raised his hand and stopped him.

After several attempts, Yu Kang finally gave up and looked at him with a sharp gaze.

“Please give it back. It’s mine.”

“Didn’t the Heavenly Dragon Sword Emperor say that he was your benefactor? But how is it that you have his shield? What he says and what he does reveal are so different, so what should you believe?”

“I received it because I happened to help Lady Namgung!”

“Wouldn’t it be the opposite? Didn’t you say that you were the Emperor’s benefactor?”

“Well, to say that….”

“What a strange guy.”

He swung the baton at Yu Kang.

Yoo Kang, who received each plaque, carefully placed each plaque in his bag as if he was handling a precious item.

After receiving the badge back, it suddenly occurred to me that my behavior a moment ago was rude.

Yoo Kang belatedly bowed his head, observing the man’s expression.

“Thank you for helping me, even though it’s late.”

“Yeah. You’re late.”

“… May I ask your name?”

“It’s called Neungjisan. In the world, it’s called Guyangdo.”

“Uh… Yes…?”

Yugang suddenly opened his eyes.

Guyangdo? Guyangdo?

Wasn’t Guyangdo the Taoist monk who was called the best Taoist in the world?

I heard that the Tao of Guyangdo is so magical that it blinds those who see it.

It was said that the energy he wielded was so luminous that no one was able to properly see the magic he performed.

A Taoist monk of such high reputation that even Yoo Kang, who had not been in the volcano for long, had heard of him.

‘But didn’t you say that he was already famous?’

I heard that there are people who die without leaving behind descendants and go around looking for the secret book that contains his magic.

One, a man who is truly called a god, whose body and traces have not been found yet.

‘If Elder Guyangdo were alive… wouldn’t he be higher than the top 10 masters?’

Suddenly, I remembered the way he had treated Namgung Mucheon a little while ago.

At least, he was a person of higher rank than the head of the Namgung family.

My mind suddenly snapped to its senses and my body began to shrink of its own accord.

Looking at that, Goo Yang-do arched his eyebrows.

“Why are you suddenly becoming humble?”

“It is an honor to meet you, the great master of the martial arts world. Elder Guyangdo.”

“What about seniors? You’ve been out of the secular world for a long time, so there’s no need to be so formal.”

“one….”

Yoo Kang swallowed dry saliva.

If this Noya in front of me is Guyangdo… .

“Elder!”

Yoo Kang knelt down.

If this was truly a catastrophe, then this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Yu Kang.

Gu Yang-do looked at him with his eyebrows furrowed even further.

“Please teach me the way!”

“I don’t like it.”

“Why… Why… You haven’t even told me why you want to learn the Tao.”

“So I don’t like it.”

“…yes?”

“I said I didn’t want to learn the Tao because there was a reason for it.”

Gu Yang-do pointed to Yu Kang.

“You are a disciple of the volcano. You were the one who originally held the sword. Judging from the traces of the volcano in your blood vessel, those who blocked your blood vessel must have been the elders of the volcano. That means you were driven out of the volcano.”

Although he never said anything, he had already seen right through Yu Kang.

“Isn’t it because of that ‘situation’ where you can no longer hold a sword that you want to learn the Tao from me?”

He even knew exactly why Yoo Kang wanted to learn martial arts from him.

The reason Yoo Kang didn’t pick up the sword was for the sake of the volcano.

Since he first learned and trained with the sword in the volcano, even if he did not use the volcano’s sword techniques, his sword would inevitably have traces of the volcano on it.

Martial arts represent the life of a warrior.

His life as a detective could not be discussed without mentioning the volcano.

That’s why I chose to learn a weapon other than a sword.

“You don’t want to learn the Tao. Anything other than the sword will do. Am I wrong?”

I couldn’t answer.

Silence was soon affirmation.

Gu Yang-do’s expression became cold.

“Is Tao funny?”

His anger was clearly evident in his calm, lowered voice.

He was right.

If the sword is precious to you, the Tao is precious to someone else.

“I was short-sighted. Thank you, sir, for enlightening me on my foolish junior’s mistake.”

Yoo Kang deeply reflected on his actions and apologized to Guyangdo.

I was so caught up in my situation that I forgot something important.

No one should be blinded by pride and look down on the martial arts of others.

After looking at his truly repentant appearance for a moment, Goo Yang-do got up from his seat and walked away.

There wasn’t even a word about where he was going.

Yoo Kang, who had been blankly staring at the veteran, quickly packed his bags and followed him.

Crunch… .

When I squeezed the wet cloth, lukewarm water flowed out.

Cho-ryeon carefully wiped Seob-mu-gwang’s arm with a wet cloth.

The note that Seolhwa handed over contained the location of a black wave called Heukunbang.

It was a name she had never heard of before, and she was afraid because she had bad memories of Heukdo, but Choryun went straight to Heukunbang.

Surprisingly, the Black Cloud Room welcomed her as if they had been waiting for her.

And soon he came.

In a state of disarray, in the hands of the Black Cloud Bandits.

That wasn’t all.

The bodies of ten members of the Bi-pung-dae who had not returned were also with them.

‘In the end, you brought him.’

Choryun collected their bodies and sent them to the nearby Namgung family branch.

Their bodies were to be returned to their hometown.

Treatment of the sub-type of glaucoma has also begun.

The remaining wounds were countless.

There was also a large injury large enough to cover the old cut scar on his back.

Above all, the blood pressure was extremely unstable.

It was a symptom similar to the poison that blocked the blood vessels seen in the volcano.

It was amazing that he came back alive.

‘Really, take care of yourself, you old man.’

Cho-ryeon healed Seop-mu-gwang’s wounds one by one.

Every time I washed and disinfected the wound and sutured it, tears came out, so I kept wiping them away, and while sobbing, I calmly continued the treatment.

As a result, his life was safe, but he still had not woken up.

While wiping Seobmu-kwang’s body with a wet cloth, Cho-ryeon muttered to herself again today.

“Is being strong enough all that matters? You’ve died and come back to life so many times, you probably think you’re immortal or something.”

Why doesn’t this guy take care of himself?

Why don’t you take care of yourself?

It was the same back then.

It was the day when Seobmu-gwang and Choryeon were discovered by the palace guard while they were walking together without thinking.

* * *

“Wow- how can a human body be so strong? Are you really a human? Or a monster?”

“blether.”

“I told you, it’s not nonsense. Didn’t I tell you? I was a member of the palace council even before I was born. I’ve never seen anyone recover so quickly in my life!”

Instead of responding, Seobmu-kwang just smiled and moved his body around while putting on his clothes.

It was definitely light and without any discomfort.

“Tell me honestly. What’s your secret? What kind of food do you like? What do you do for a living?”

At the barrage of questions, Seopmu-kwang burst into laughter and ruffled Cho-ryeon’s hair.

“Didn’t you say with your own mouth that you were capable? Since the doctor is good, it seems like your wounds are healing quickly.”

“… .”

As his body recovered, Seobmu-kwang often laughed like this.

At first, he seemed blunt, reserved, and reserved, but he actually had a surprisingly witty side.

“hmm!”

Every time something different from what I had imagined popped out, Cho-ryeon felt a little embarrassed.

“Well, I do have some skills. Maybe I could become a god?”

“Yes.”

Seopmu-kwang burst into laughter again.

This time, it was an obvious mockery, so Cho-ryeon’s eyebrows furrowed.

“Oh, that’s fine. Just bow down and beg. People always do that, right? When you feel like you’re going to die, if you ask to be spared, they won’t know.”

“I never asked you to save me, did I? I never pretended not to know. How many times have I said thank you?”

“That’s what I’m saying!”

Cho-ryeon stood up from her seat.

“I’ll go to the stream to see if there are any fish caught in the net, so catch some rabbits and bring them back. Now that you’re not sick, you can pay for the meal, right?”

Submu-kwang shrugged.

Leaving him behind, Cho-ryeon came out of the cave.

Rustle.

On the way to the stream, I could hear the bushes rustling.

Cho-ryeon stopped walking and stared at the place where the sound came from for a long time.

Could it be because of the wind?

Nothing appeared.

“I think it’s time to move somewhere….”

Cho-ryeon cleared her throat and started walking again.
