The Return of the Namgoong Clan’s Granddaughter - Chapter 91



Only Noblemtl

Episode 91

* * *

When I returned after finishing my training with Woong, I saw an unexpected person talking to my father in the pavilion.

“Hello, aunt.”

“Oh my, Seolhwa has arrived.”

The one who welcomed her warmly was Namgung Cheongsan’s wife, Murong Yeonhwa.

“You’ve been training since early this morning? The Cheonmu Festival was held yesterday, so you’re very diligent.”

“My eyes opened.”

“I see.”

Mo Yongyeon patted Seolhwa’s head as if she was amazed.

The ticklish sensation that small hands gave was different from that of Namgung Mucheon or Cheongun.

“My aunt said she wanted to go sightseeing in Soho.”

Cheongwoon, who was talking to Mo Yongyeonhwa, bent down, looked Seolhwa in the eye, and spoke.

“I said it was good, what do you think?”

Nest Lake (巢湖) is one of the large lakes in the Central Plains, located to the south of Hefei. It was named so because its shape resembles a bird’s nest.

The lake is very large and the area with the water and mountains is spectacular, so it is a place that many people often visit to enjoy entertainment.

Mo Yongyeon also bent down to meet Seolhwa’s eye level.

“If you go to Soho, there are warm hot springs and a pavilion managed by the family. You can rest comfortably without being disturbed. You must have been tired preparing for the Cheonmuje, so why not take advantage of this opportunity to rest for a day or so? What do you think?”

“Has everyone decided to go?”

“Unfortunately, only our family and your family. My second eldest brother said he was not feeling well and would like to rest.”

Seolhwa glanced at Cheongun.

Cheongun’s energy was noticeably unstable. Although he had reached the peak of his power, he had left the training hall in a hurry before he could properly control his energy for the Heavenly Martial Arts Emperor.

Although he didn’t show it, there was a high possibility that Cheongun would return to closed-door training at an early date.

“great.”

Before that, it might be a good idea to take a break.

Mo Yongyeonhwa got up with a bright smile.

“Then shall we just pack what we need and leave right away? I’ve prepared everything, so Grandfather and Seolhwa, please feel at ease… .”

“Where are you going?”

An uninvited voice was heard from behind. When the three people turned around, they saw Submu-gwang walking towards them, staggering forward.

“Oh, Lord Bi-pung.”

Cheongundo also stood up and greeted him.

“What brings you here?”

“Pick up the kid.”

Seopmu-gwang pointed his finger at Seolhwa’s head.

Seolhwa tilted her head and looked up at the finger.

“Your Majesty is looking for you, little one.”

“why?”

“To be exact, the Lord Muhakdang is looking for you. He needs to see your destruction sword in person.”

It was for the expected reason.

Namgung Moo-gang had been obsessed with the Sword of Destruction since the days of Emperor Cheonmu. He had stepped down from his position at the order of Namgung Moo-cheon, but he expected that he would be called upon in the near future.

Seolhwa nodded.

“yes.”

Sulwha looked back at Murong Yeonhwa.

“Aunt.”

“Okay. I’ll wait.”

“No. I don’t know how long it will take. If it’s a place managed by the family, Father will know the way, so we’ll go to Grandfather and then leave. You go first.”

Cheongun-do also listened to Seolhwa’s words.

“I’ll take Seolhwa. Hwarin will be waiting, so you go first.”

“Then… . Okay. I’ll go first and wait. Be careful, Seolhwa. I’ll see you at Soho.”

After patting Seolhwa’s head again, Murong Yeonhwa returned to her pavilion.

“Okay, then shall we go?”

“Yes. I will go. I will be back, Father.”

“Okay. I’ll wait.”

* * *

Namgung Mucheon and Namgung Mugang, the head of the Muhakdang, were waiting for Seolhwa in the private training room that only the head of the household could use.

Below the Gajujeon Hall, in the underground training ground, there was a formation set up to help with the use of energy, similar to a training hall, and a formation was also set up to prevent sound and shock from escaping.

As expected of a martial arts studio, the walls were adorned with magnificent dragon sculptures, and the ceiling also had dragon carvings, but they were all made of gold.

The floor of the training hall was also covered with the highest quality stone.

Although not as much as the training hall, the formation that helped with the use of energy was also of a high level.

‘I was surprised in my previous life, but it’s surprising to see it again.’

In my previous life, when I saw this training ground, I just thought that Namgung was really overflowing with money.

Now, seeing that he felt secure with this kind of training gear, it seemed that he had truly become Namgung In.

“Come in.”

Namgung Mucheon, who had sensed Seolhwa’s presence from the moment she entered the entrance, greeted her.

Mu-gang was also already looking towards the door of the training hall.

“I meet the Lord of Gaju and the Lord of Muhakdang.”

“Come up here.”

Seopmu Gwang and Seolhwa approached the two people.

Seopmu-gwang went to one side and stood, and Seolhwa went to the center of the martial arts field and stood.

“Just do as I was shown in the training hall.”

Namgung Mucheon left those words behind and went to Seop Mu-gwang’s side, standing with his back to the ground.

Seolhwa suddenly came face to face with Namgung Moogang.

Namgung Mu-gang looked down at Seol-hwa and burst into laughter.

As promised to Namgung Mucheon, he didn’t drink today, and his nose was fine and there was no smell of alcohol.

“I saw your skills clearly yesterday. You’re quite capable of something as small as a broom.”

“But aren’t I bigger than a broom?”

“Hahaha! The broom I used was a foot (about 30cm) bigger than yours!”

I guess so.

If you think about it, he must have been sweeping with that small broom, considering how big he is…

“Do you do the sweeping yourself?”

Namgung Moo-gang’s laughter suddenly stopped, as if he felt a sting.

He cleared his throat, hmm.

“Because I hate it when people come and go like rats in my house. I clean it myself… .”

“What are you talking about? You were acting so drunk that the men ran away.”

“Can’t you shut your mouth, you piece of shit?”

Seopmu-kwang shrugged his shoulders and pursed his lips.

Mu-gang, who had been eating briefly, cleared his throat again and spoke to Seol-hwa.

“Anyway, it’s a destruction sword or something. Let’s take a look at it.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Moo-gang smiled and took the first step of the Great Sword Technique.

“Don’t use your power. Just do your best and destroy it.”

Seolhwa also took the stance of the destruction sword technique. In her previous life, it was a sword technique that she used more than Namgung’s martial arts.

“What the heck!”

As soon as the story was ready, Namgung Mu-gang displayed his sword skills.

The Daeyeon Sword Technique’s Destructive Sword did not appear during the Cheonmuje’s Secret Battle.

This is because there was no opponent who used the Daeyeon Sword Technique in the non-combat. Therefore, Namgung Moo-gang has never seen the Daeyeon Sword Technique’s destructive sword.

Seolhwa’s eyes shone sharply.

hook-

“!”

Seolhwa quickly dug into Namgung Mu-gang’s side, sending the sword strike that she was swinging slashingly away.

And then.

cook.

“evil.”

Seol-hwa stabbed Namgung Mu-gang in the side with the tip of her wooden sword and looked up at Mu-gang.

As the round eyes looked up at him, Namgung Moo-gang felt something sink down.

‘…?’

“How do you feel about being hit by a broom?”

Namgung Moo-gang’s eyebrows twitched.

Seop Mu-gwang, who was watching the scene from the side, opened his mouth wide in surprise.

Are you really going to take Brother Mu-gang’s first move?

“her.”

“It’s not because Moo-gang is weak. The Pa-hwae Sword precisely penetrates Nam-gung’s weak points.”

The destruction of the Great Sword Technique is simple because the first second of the Great Sword is simple, but if you think about the technique that exploits the weak points of the Great Sword’s large movements, it is by no means simple.

This applies not only to Daeyeon, but also to other swordsmanship’s destruction swords.

Of course, the biggest reason for giving up the first match was Moo-gang’s complacency that he would not give up.

“… Brother Mu-gang, it’s been a while since you’ve seen such nice eyes.”

“Hmm.”

Watching Seol-hwa slowly return to his seat, Moo-gang recalled the child’s attack from earlier.

He straightened his sword as he was seriously contemplating something.

“again.”

Namgung Moo-gang took a stance. His expression looked extremely excited.

“Where, come back again.”

* * *

“ask?”

Namgung Cheonghae was a little surprised.

Even if it’s just Little Dragon, the second son, Woong, is a kid who doesn’t want anything.

Seeing the first child being so assertive, he never thought he should be that way, so he never got greedy or made a lot of noise.

It was surprising that he came to me with a favor, as it was a courtesy.

“Please speak comfortably.”

“From now on, I would like to receive separate swordsmanship instruction from my older brother.”

“So-ryong…? What happened? Did So-ryong hit you?”

“No, it’s not like that. I just want to focus a little more on my own achievements. It’s helpful to learn from my brother, but it’s hard to calm my mind when I compare myself to him.”

“hmm….”

Although he said it was his fault, Namgung Cheonghae vaguely noticed.

If there is a problem in the training of Soryong and Ung, it is Soryong’s fault, not Ung’s.

But Woong also knew that he was not the kind of child to scold his older brother like that.

“Yes. Do so. Before the training resumes, Father will tell the Master of the School in advance.”

“Thank you, Father.”

Namgung Woong bowed his head to Namgung Cheonghae and left the room.

Perhaps because he got what he wanted, the child’s steps seemed particularly light.

‘I wish Soryong could think of his surroundings as much as his younger brother does.’

We are of the same blood, so how can we be so different?

A deep sigh escaped Namgung Cheonghae’s mouth.

It was a truly frustrating morning.
