The Return of the Namgoong Clan’s Granddaughter - Chapter 165



Only Noblemtl

Episode 165

Namgung Mucheon furrowed his brow.

“You always give me difficult homework.”

Just thinking about gaining the cooperation of the sects that despise Sega makes my head spin.

“But it would be possible if the Volcano faction comes out.”

The Hwasanpa will actively cooperate with the main family through this incident.

“Certainly, the Jongnam faction is closely related to the Hwasan faction and will interact frequently, so we can leave it to the Hwasan faction. The Cheongseong faction in Sacheon has been in decline recently and is having a hard time, so if we help them without revealing it, they won’t be able to ignore the main family’s words.”

“The Hyeongsan faction of Honam and the Haenam faction of Haenam will fully live up to my grandfather’s reputation.”

The two schools are known as powerful schools with excellent martial arts skills, solid power, and control over a large area, but they do not have a master who can be ranked among the top ten martial arts masters, such as Namgung Mucheon.

If Namgung Mucheon asked for peace, there was a high possibility that he would readily agree, thinking it would be an opportunity to form a relationship with him.

“The problem is the Shaolin Temple in Hanam, the Wudang sect in Hubei, the Ami sect in Sichuan, and the Kunlun sect in Qinghai.”

Among the nine sects, they were the major sects that had solid power and consistently produced strong masters, and were also called the five major sects, including the Hwasan sect.

Seolhwa’s face turned cold as she thought of the five sects.

“The deeper the clan, the more deeply Hwaoru’s power will infiltrate. So we must never let them know about Hwaoru’s existence or the affairs of the volcano.”

“Even without that, we decided to leave the events at Hwasan to anyone outside of our hometown and the Hwasan faction.”

The people there must have already heard the news of the Hwasan faction, but they have no idea what happens next.

We must not let anyone know that we are gathering strength to prepare for the Blood Cult.

“First, gather the strength of those other than the Daemun sect. If Segawa, Hwasan, and the rest of the sects gather their strength, the other four sects will not be able to ignore the flow.”

The purpose of the blind, its influence, should we go with the flow or against it?

If they get on board, how much influence will they be able to exert within it?

You will want to know about blindness in some way.

“It won’t be too late to gather our thoughts then.”

“Yeah. I guess so.”

If you do that, the story will become a little easier.

Namgung Mucheon, who was counting the remaining forces, suddenly looked at Seolhwa intently.

Seolhwa tilted her head and blinked her round eyes.

“Why, Grandpa?”

“no.”

Namgung Mucheon’s lips curved gently.

“It’s just so strange and fascinating to be having this conversation with you.”

When I talk to my granddaughter, I forget how old she is.

No, is it true that I feel inspired whenever I see the natural, innocent eyes of a child while talking?

“Are you planning on being away for a long time?”

“At least three years.”

As long as 4 years.

In five years, the Blood Cult will appear in the Central Plains, so you must return before then to prepare for it.

“You must have grown so much again.”

“… .”

The story was not denied.

3 or 4 years from now. By then, the growth period will probably be over.

“The most regrettable thing is that I cannot watch you grow up. Before I leave, can I give you a hug?”

Seol-hwa smiled brightly and spread her arms, got down from her chair, walked around the desk, and approached him.

Namgung Mucheon opened his arms towards Seolhwa again.

Now, quite naturally, Seol-hwa was held in his arms.

The power to embrace oneself was stronger than usual.

“I have a question, Grandpa.”

“What was it?”

“Grandpa, you knew I was your granddaughter from the moment I came to your family home, right?”

From the moment he first set foot in Cheonhojeon, Namgung Mucheon acted as if he was certain that he was Namgung Seolhwa.

“okay.”

“How did you know? You’ve seen a lot of kids before.”

Heh heh, a low laugh resonated pleasantly through the large body.

“You are my eldest granddaughter, the first one I held in my arms. How could I forget you?”

He swept Seol-hwa’s cheek and looked at his granddaughter with kind eyes.

“I never doubted that you were my granddaughter. I’m sure your father did the same.”

Just then, I felt someone coming in through the middle of the gate.

“We have been looking for you so desperately all this time, so we should be able to recognize you at a glance.”

Those words tickled Seolhwa’s heart.

‘You waited for me.’

My grandfather, my father, and many others in the family.

‘He was desperately looking for me.’

How nice it would have been if I had known this fact in advance.

If only I had known I had a family like this in my past life.

Knock knock, there was a knock on the door.

Soon the door opened and the general and Namgung Cheong-un came in.

“Father, you called me… Seolhwa…?”

Namgung Cheong-un’s gaze shook slightly as their eyes met.

Cheong-un, who had entered a closed training center to control his internal energy, had heard and heard all the stories that had happened in the Hwasan faction.

“Uh, when….”

“As soon as I came out of the closed room, I left this father behind and looked for you. I barely managed to stop him from going to the volcano to look for you.”

Cheongun came over urgently and knelt down on one knee in front of Seolhwa.

He held Seol-hwa’s face as she sat on Namgung Mucheon’s lap.

“When did you come? How could you come without any notice? When you came back, it would have been better if you had stopped by the residence first. This father didn’t even know you were back.”

The urgent voice was full of joy and surprise. Seolhwa made an embarrassed expression and grabbed Cheongwoon’s hand.

“I just stopped by for a moment. I’m leaving again.”

The general who was nearby asked back in surprise.

“You’re leaving again? Do you still have business to attend to, my lady?”

Cheongundo asked with a thoughtful face.

“Yeah. What do you mean? Where are you going again? You just got back and now you’re going somewhere else?”

Seolhwa briefly explained her decision.

If he were confident, his family would be in danger, he would have work to do after leaving the family, and he would return within four years at the most.

Although he tried to convey his intentions as calmly as possible, Namgung Cheong-un’s expression was like a bolt from the blue when he heard Seol-hwa’s words.

“Father, come with me. I can’t send you alone to a dangerous place, so I, father… .”

“Where did the guy who’s about to become a cow owner go?”

Namgung Mucheon spoke in a pretended stern voice.

As Cheonghae gave up his right to be the head of the household, the position of the head of the household within the family became solidified with Cheongwoon as the eldest son.

As soon as Cheongun came out of his training at the closed gate, he was to be appointed as the head of the household and be entrusted with the affairs of the household.

“Have you no regard for your family’s business? When are you going to learn the martial arts that have been passed down through generations?”

“but….”

“Grandpa is right.”

Namgung Cheong-un looked at Seol-hwa with a hurt expression. It seemed like even Seol-hwa didn’t know how to take Namgung Mucheon’s side.

However, Seolhwa completely agreed with Namgung Mucheon’s intentions.

“Father, you should become the head of the household. You promised that you would become the head of the household, gain strength, and use that strength to protect me.”

“But I can’t send you alone….”

“It won’t be dangerous.”

Seolhwa held Namgung Cheongun’s hand tightly.

Seol-hwa also did not want to be separated from the man she had just met.

Namgung Cheong-un, a father who lives only for himself and is willing to sacrifice his life for himself.

I would like to stay in that warm devotion a little longer.

“You have to be prepared for when something really dangerous happens. If you don’t build up enough strength by then, you’ll end up hating yourself.”

This was said not only to Cheongun, but also to Seolhwa herself.

“I just want to be away from you for a little while so that I can live happily with my father for a long time.”

Yes, for longer happiness.

“ha….”

Namgung Cheongun lowered his gaze.

It’s not that I don’t know what the story is saying.

It’s not that I don’t know, but… .

“When… will the day come when I can live comfortably with you? When on earth will that ever happen…?”

Now that I’ve finally found my daughter, why can’t I have even a few days to relax?

“One, it’s different than before. … Yes.”

As the story goes, we are just leaving for a little while to be happy longer.

Unlike previous separations, we can promise to meet again, and isn’t that something to be thankful for?

Cheongun raised his head with a faint smile.

Knowing that I had to send you off in the end, I wanted to make sure you could leave with a little bit of a lighter heart.

“I will gain strength. I will do my best to become a good head of the household as you said, and I will wait for the day you return. So… .”

“… .”

“I have to give news often… .”

Seolhwa got down from Namgung Mucheon’s lap and hugged Cheongun tightly.

It replaced many greetings.

* * *

For urgent contact, we decided to leave a letter at the branch office in Hanam.

Only after hearing Seolhwa’s words that she would leave a message at least once every three months did Namgung Cheongwoon’s expression brighten a little.

I wanted to meet Seop Mu-gwang, but Seop Mu-gwang was in Cheon-o-dong for Jeong-yang, so I couldn’t meet him.

Seolhwa left the house after saying goodbye to Seopmu Gwang for the last time, asking him to contact her when he came out of Su-ryeon-dong.

When he returned to the hill where he had made a promise with the spirit, the spirit had already arrived and was waiting for him.

There were three people by her side.

“Meet the young lady.”

Seolhwa let out a light laugh at Namgung’s warrior-like greeting.

“Why are you so polite? It doesn’t suit you.”
