Chapter 16
Episode 16: The Queen Bee of Heuksando (1)
Half a year passed without any special events.
I couldn’t help but wonder about the fact that the independent faction had been quiet so far.
Could it be that Lee Gan-gye’s plan worked? Or maybe something more important has come up for them to put this case on hold for a while. At the moment, I couldn’t figure out why.
“Cedar.”
Eugene San was now holding a spoon in front of his granddaughter’s mouth.
The child kept his cherry-like small mouth tightly closed. He frowned as if he was grumpy.
“How delicious is carrot porridge? “Go ahead and take just one bite.”
“Snow carrot cedar.”
It was truly embarrassing. In order for the child to grow, it was necessary to feed him somehow.
Yu Jin-san thought for a moment and then tried a trick.
“Okay then, don’t eat it.”
As he closed the door and went out, Yoo Seol looked around in confusion.
As expected, when half hour had passed, the door opened again.
Grumble!
“This is Seol’s favorite meat porridge!”
Yoo Seol smiled brightly and waved both hands. He seemed excited at the word meat.
“I like twisting. Hee~.”
The mouth, which had been closed just a moment ago, opened automatically.
“That’s right! You eat well. delicious?”
“Yum. “My dear.”
Yu Jin-san excitedly moved the spoon with a happy smile.
‘Whether it’s mushrooms or meat, once they go into the stomach and come out, they all become the same. ‘Everything in the world depends on how you decide.’
I just added one finely chopped mushroom to the carrot porridge.
There were only a few chickens left in the farm because Yuseol was so hungry. I wanted to let him eat meat every day, but I had to save it.
‘I guess I should at least pick some more mushrooms.’
The granddaughter’s meal was almost over.
Clink-!
It was the sound of ceramic dishes installed at the border breaking. An intruder has arrived.
The place where the sound was heard was in the direction toward the mountain quarters of Heuksan Island.
‘I told you not to visit these guys carelessly.’
Because he had to focus on training, he was not allowed to visit Heuksan Island. This was because he had to gather all of his strength as soon as possible to transform himself and move on to the next step.
As Yu Jin-san went out of his residence, Yoo Seol came running towards him with a bright smile.
“Okay, once you’ve filled your stomach, you need to digest it. “Let’s go with grandpa.”
He slowly moved with his granddaughter to where the sound came from.
The border that was tied with string was about twenty feet away, so it wasn’t far away.
Yu Jin-san arrived there a while later and made an absurd expression.
“Hello, grandfather?”
It was Hyeonhee, a disciple of Lee Dae of the Shaman faction.
It was surprising that she was still with Heuksando, but her changed appearance was even more surprising.
Leopard skin clothes that cling to the body and a leopard hat. Moreover, six officers were standing behind her as if they were escorting her.

“It’s been a while. But why are you dressed like that…”
Hyunhee smiled brightly and stretched out her right palm behind her shoulder.
“Bring that to me.”
“Yes, Commander!”
Jinsan Yu, who had a blank expression on his face, opened his mouth automatically.
A great disciple of the Shaman faction has become the commander-in-chief of Heuksando? It was something unimaginable.
Hyunhee shrugged her shoulders and held out a small bundle.
“I caught a wild boar yesterday. So I brought some meat. “I also added a rabbit.”
At that moment, Yu Seol raised both hands above her head and shouted.
“twine!”
The child motioned for people to quickly hand over the bundle to him.
“Pretty baby, it’s been a while, hasn’t it? But it’s so heavy I can’t lift it. “It’s dangerous.”
At first glance, it seemed like an impossible weight for a child to lift. However, Yu Jin-san nodded as if it was okay.
“Please hand it over before you start crying.”
Confused, Hyeonhee handed the bundle to the child. I tried to hold him in position in case he fell, but there was no need to do that.
Isn’t he jumping around in place while grabbing a bag bigger than his body?
Then he grabbed Hyunhee’s legs and rubbed her face.
“he. Good~.”
“Oh no, how are you holding that?”
How could she know? He is a child who absorbed Cheongrang’s inner circle and achieved a complete transformation. Yu Seol already had much more internal strength than Hyeon Hui.
“haha. There’s nothing to worry about. But there’s no way he would have come all the way here to hand me this. “Tell me what business you have.”
Hyunhee squatted down and stroked the child’s head and said.
“Grandpa, you haven’t heard the news yet, right? “Now Kang-ho is upset.”
What news would he hear as he lives cut off from the world? Still, I couldn’t help but be curious about what Kangho was doing these days.
Yu Jin-san, intrigued, urged her on.
“Hurry up and tell me what it is about.”
“You know after the examination, right?”
“Even if the martial arts people don’t know the emperor, they can’t help but know the queen. “How can you not know the best expert in the world?”
“They say he is holding a gold powder washing ceremony. “In Baekyang County in ten days!”
Gold powder taxation. It refers to the official retirement ceremony held by a martial artist to leave Gangho.
It must be announced to the Murim Alliance at least 50 days in advance, and if this ceremony is completed successfully, it means that one will be freed from all benefits and support of the Murim. It was an unspoken rule of powerhouses handed down from ancient times.
However, on that day, not many people successfully completed the ritual because all the enemies flocked in for final revenge.
“I heard that Geomhu is not that old? “You’re already retiring…?”
“No one knows why. “He’s famous for being very eccentric, right?”
“but. But isn’t Baekyang County a half-day trip from here?”
Hyunhee’s eyes lit up and she carefully examined his gaze.
“yes. So I’m going to go take a look. “Let’s go together, grandfather.”
Geomhu was a neutral figure who did not belong to any faction.
She had the best martial arts skills in the world and was famous for never killing an opponent. They just maimed it. It caused more shameful damage than death to the martial arts people who valued honor.
There was also an anecdote in the past where all the equipment that the Murim League had cultivated with great effort were turned into idiots in one place.
“If you want to live a long time, don’t go out and just stay here. “Wouldn’t you also be in trouble if you encountered some Taoists from the Shaman faction?”
“You don’t have to worry about that. This is because disputes between individuals are not officially allowed in this gold powder tax ceremony. “The moment you personally draw your sword in Baekyang County, you become a martial artist.”
“That alone doesn’t reassure me. “How many old people can be seen carrying babies on their backs in Gangho?”
Hyunhee smiled brightly and asked, as if she knew that would happen.
“Why do you think I’m coming to see my grandfather and ask for a favor?”
After thinking for a moment, Jinsan Yu sighed and laughed.
“You need a disguise too. “As the child’s mother.”
Hyunhee lifted the rumor and held it to her chest.
The child seemed to like her as well and buried his face in laughter.
“Please come with me, grandfather. We can go together like family, right? “I will just watch from afar.”
Eugene San was worried for a moment.
Even if that wasn’t the case, I had to go down at least once to buy clothes and household necessities for Yu Seol.
Above all, if it is Geomhu’s retirement ceremony, key elders of the Murim Alliance will also attend. It was a great opportunity to see in person what they might be like as enemies.
Moreover, with so many waves flocking in, I didn’t know if I could get any clues if I was lucky.
‘Disguising themselves as family…’
There was enough truth to it. It was when he was calculating the risk factors.
Hyunhee begged with a charming voice.
“Let’s go together, father~. I will take you there. yes?”
Seeing her changed appearance made me laugh. He seemed to have fully adapted to being an executive of Heuksan Island.
“Wow. “When did you become my daughter?”
“I heard you looked like my youngest daughter-in-law the other day?”
“It is true, but it is not enough. Instead, there are conditions.”
Hyunhee’s face widened. Her smile looked so pure that even Jinsan Yu felt warm.
“really? “Anything, just tell me!”
“If I think it’s even the slightest bit dangerous, I’ll go back right away.”
“Sure. “There’s really no need to worry?”
It has already been decades since he retired from power. Therefore, no one would be able to recognize his face even with a slight disguise. There was no danger as long as you didn’t get involved in an accident.
But before that, there were facts that needed to be confirmed.
“But did you get permission from the lender?”
Hyunhee confidently answered with a confident voice.
“I already told you. “Our landlord doesn’t have to worry.”
Yu Jin-san, looking at her expression, chuckled. This was because the situation was roughly guessed.
It was clear that there was something between Hyunhee and Chaeju.
“Then do it like that. “I can finally get some fresh air.”
Hyunhee smiled and said goodbye, handing over the child.
“lol. Thank you! Then I’ll come pick you up a day ahead!”
Hyunhee and the bandits who followed him slowly disappeared as if they had finished their business.
And Yu Jin-san held Yu Seol’s hand and returned to his residence.
Looking at the position of the sun, it was about mid-morning. It was time to start another boring training session.
He sat the child down on the floor and took out the Fire Dragon Spear from the room.
The most important thing was internal training, but physical training could not be neglected.
“Whoop.”
Yu Jin-san took a deep breath and moved the handle of the spear according to the rhythm of the Yu singing method.
One step forward. At the same time, the tip of the spear moved along the wind and breathed together. Starting with that, beautiful curves began to embroider the air.
Yu Jajang’s spearmanship is based on softness. It dazzles the opponent’s gaze, deflects the attack, and returns it with added force.
Naturally, the leader in Confucian singing was Yu Jin-san, the head of the family.
“Hi~.”
As usual, Yoo Seol is watching with a bright smile. It seemed interesting and fun to watch martial arts training.
But something was a little strange today.
Yu Jin-san’s movements while dancing suddenly stopped. This was because Yuseol had come down from the floor and was approaching.
“Habae!”
“…why?”
“The theory is gone.”
“huh? what?”
Yu Jin-san was confused and looked left and right.
It was then that he realized that a peanut-like finger was pointing at his window.
He swallowed a laugh and asked again.
“Do you want this?”
“huh!”
I couldn’t help but feel absurd. It seemed like he wanted to follow suit.
However, the Fire Dragon Spear was ten times longer than Yu Seol’s height. How can I wield this?
After thinking about it, he reluctantly handed the spear over carefully. There was no fear of injury as long as the complete transformation was achieved.
“Hehe… okay, give it a try.”
The child tried to receive the Fire Dragon Spear, but it was not easy. It was natural because my fingers were short and I couldn’t grasp the thick handle.
When things didn’t go as planned, Yu Seol’s eyes became watery.
“Huh.”
“Don’t cry. Pop!”
I tried to comfort him by making eye contact, but it was no use.
“Hey. “It’s so bad!”
How can a grandfather feel at ease as he looks at his granddaughter crying sadly? Yu Jin-san looked into the distance and sighed.
Then something came into his field of vision. It was a bamboo that had been cut in advance to reinforce the breeding farm.
‘Is that right! ‘This would be appropriate.’
Eugene San quickly took a bamboo, split it into thin pieces, and began smoothing out the cross section.
Yoo Seol, who had already stopped crying, was watching with eyes full of anticipation.
He patted the child’s butt with a happy smile.
“wait a moment. “It will be over soon.”
“Happy birthday.”
Yu Seol ran behind the grandfather’s back, buried his face, and smiled brightly.
After half an hour, a decent practice spear was completed. It was thin and blunt and looked close to the shape of a bong. It was truly a great toy.
“There you go. “Let’s try it together.”
Yu Seol, who took the baton, imitated the serious expression he made while practicing. I couldn’t help but find that sight funny.
Before starting training, Yu Jin-san began to explain the family’s spear techniques to the child.
“Among our family’s ancestors, there was a legendary master called Changgui. “I haven’t been able to find the secret techniques of singing that he left behind, but I should feel proud that this Confucian singing method was also influenced by him.”
Eugene San’s words did not even reach the granddaughter’s ears.
Yu Seol was already imitating the jockey movement, grabbing the pole with both hands. The posture was more realistic than I thought.
“The one-choice method of Confucian singing is Chu-il-geuk-seom (追一極閃). Once this begins to unfold, no opponent can avoid it. “Be careful not to fall.”
After speaking, he stepped forward with his left foot and pulled the spear over his shoulder. At the same time, Yu Seol imitated his actions. As he watched his grandfather practice every day, he seemed to have memorized the movements.
Of course, it was still just a clumsy gesture of imitation.
After a while, the tip of the Fire Dragon God Spear began to shoot out in front and create a whirlwind.
Paaaaang-!
After finishing his meal, Jinsan Yu secretly looked at his granddaughter.
At that moment, his mouth automatically opened.
“…uh?”
