Warrior Grandpa and Supreme Granddaughter

Episode 324: The bondage of fate (1)

Josun was going down Mt. Wudang with his shoulders side by side.

By the time we reached the crossroads at the bottom of the mountain.

Yu Jin-san stopped walking and asked his granddaughter with a puzzled expression.

“baby. But where did you put the sky sword?”

“I lent it to you.”

“That’s unexpected. “Why are you lending the treasured sword you loved so much to the shaman faction?”

“It’s inconvenient. “It’s a hassle to carry it around.”

The problem was that there was too much luggage to carry.

The Yonghwachang was cumbersome in a packed luggage, and it was greedy to carry all of them, including the Sky Sword.

But there had to be one more decidedly different reason.

“I guess Seol saved her friend’s face. “The old people of the independent faction will be very happy.”

Is it because his true intentions were revealed? Yu Seol looked at his grandfather and smiled.

“You did well, right?”

“then! “I said I will support Seol from now on, but I need to give her a reward like that so I don’t hear any criticism.”

“Hi-Hi. I’m a big guy. “The barrel is big.”

This was also something Jin-san Jin always said. At Hohyeon Market, where I often went, I was even considered a big hit.

In any case, the decision was made that the granddaughter’s choice was a good one.

If the Shamans were allies, reinforcing their strength would also be beneficial.

“But what was in the gift you received from the shaman faction?”

A few days ago, there was a gift they prepared to win Yin Kai’s favor.

It was only now that I suddenly remembered it.

“curious? “Just wait a moment.”

Yoo Seol, who was rummaging through his luggage, took out a small wooden box and opened it slightly to show me.

Inside, a jewel radiating golden brilliance was neatly placed.

At first glance, it was a beauty that seemed to captivate the mind, and it was something that women would like.

“hmm. I think it’s probably a gem called a gold fossil. “It will be quite expensive.”

Yu Seol couldn’t hide her joy when she heard that it was expensive. So much so that I clenched my fist and shook it.

“Oh oh! Is it expensive? “Let’s go quickly and sell it.”

Jin-san also knew it well. There isn’t much travel left now.

If you sell this, you won’t have to worry about money for a while.

“hmm. “I don’t know if there’s a place that can buy this.”

“What if I ask you to come to the dark night room?”

“They are not easy to meet. But you can’t go all the way to the opening, right?”

“Then let’s go to the market and find out. huh?”

Maybe it’s the mayor of a big city. It wouldn’t be easy to find in this area.

But there was no choice from the beginning. This was because the granddaughter was holding her arm and shaking it.

“Okay, I got it. “Let’s go give it a try.”

* * *

Cao Sun traveled one city town by train and arrived at Angang County, near the border of Shaanxi and Hubei Province.

It was the largest city on the way to the destination, Hohyeon.

I spent half a day spending the remaining money at the market to fill my stomach and search for jewelry stores.

I couldn’t find a place that would buy gold fossils.

The problem was that most people did not recognize the value or did not have the financial resources to pay for it.

“phew. What should I do?…”

Looking at his granddaughter’s sullen expression, Yu Jin-san also felt sad.

“There’s nothing you can do about it. “Now that place is the last place.”

“Wait, grandpa. “I’ll be back soon.”

He seemed to be in a hurry.

No sooner had Yooseol nodded his head than he hurried into a jewelry store.

Eugene San didn’t have much expectations either. Because it was a small and shabby place, it was assumed that it would not have the ability to pay for the gold fossils.

Eugene San crossed his arms and waited for his granddaughter to come out.

It was about a moment ago.

“Grandpa!”

“What happened?”

As Yooseol approached, he shook his head sideways.

It appeared that the wooden box was still being held at its side. As expected, the bargaining would have failed.

But his expression seemed bright, as if something good had happened.

As the distance got closer, my granddaughter started screaming.

“I found it! Hehehe. “The store guy said there is a place where you can buy rare items at high prices.”

“Is that really true? They say that if you have the utmost sincerity, even heaven will help you. It seems that all your hard work has been worth it.”

“Yes. About fifty miles away from here is a village called Sunyangchon. “They told me to go to a place called Myohwabang.”

“A grave drawing room?”

For some reason, Jinsan Yu’s face hardened.

Seeing that, Yoo Seol tilted her head and asked.

“huh. “Does this place even your grandfather know?”

Yu Jin-san, who hesitated for a moment, sighed and said.

“Oh no. “It’s just that someone I knew was there.”

“Did you have a bad relationship? “What’s going on?”

“That’s a bit… You just don’t need to know.”

Yu Seol looked at her grandfather’s face closely. Because my face turned red.

I’ve never seen an expression like this before.

“Tell me~ Who is it? “I’m curious.”

The granddaughter was urging him on, but Yu Jin-san turned his head away as if he could not speak.

“We just have that kind of relationship.”

“Ugh. No matter who I meet, whatever. “You probably won’t recognize me anyway.”

Even if we are an awkward and uncomfortable relationship, we will not recognize each other since we have returned to Korea.

He nodded reluctantly.

“Okay, I got it. Okay, let’s go now.”

Joson launched a light attack toward Sunyangchon, which the store owner had guided him to.

It’s about 50 miles to the destination.

It wasn’t that far for two people who were as fast as hawks.

As I went for a walk, I was able to come across a village with a quiet scenery just before the eclipse.

The two stopped at the village entrance and started walking along the path.

“Grandpa. The man said earlier that Myohwabang’s Ark has the best eye for detail in Jungwon. So do you know what your nickname is?”

“Why don’t you know? “She must be a heart-eye goddess.”

“how did you know?”

“At one time, he was quite famous in Gangho. “It’s about insight rather than martial arts.”

Yu Seol seemed to be interested in something and chattered non-stop.

“Discerning? I’m curious~ How great was it that you got that nickname?”

“It’s the same as the nickname. Like our Seol, once you see something, you never forget it. In addition, he has eyes that see through everything like a ghost.”

“Wow~ I want to meet you soon.”

“I see it right there.”

Eugene San pointed somewhere with his chin as if he had been here before.

It was a manor with an old-fashioned feel, about a hundred pages in front.

The plum trees growing inside the fence were quite impressive.

“pretty. “The plum blossoms are in full bloom.”

“okay. Come on in and take a look to your heart’s content.”

“Grandpa, won’t you go in with us?”

Yu Jin-san nodded once with his back turned.

“That’s a place only women can enter. “Allotment expenses are kicked out.”

“Hmm. “I just have to sell this and come back, right?”

“okay. It will be a good experience, so do your best.”

“huh. “How much do you sell it for?”

“Still, the Lady of Mind’s Eye is not someone who turns away immature children, so she will offer a reasonable price. “If we can get even a little more out of it, we’ve succeeded.”

“okay.”

Yu Seol nodded vigorously. After a while, I turned my back and started walking.

I had no choice but to stop when I heard my grandfather’s voice again from behind.

“baby.”

“Yes?”

“When bargaining, you must not belittle the other party. But don’t let it hurt your feelings. “It might look funny, so try to refrain from saying nonsense as much as possible.”

It was a nagging sound that was not typical of a grandfather.

Yoo Seol smiled and raised one hand as if to tell her not to worry.

“I’ll take care of it.”

Yoo Seol, holding the wooden box, walked toward the entrance of the manor.

When I arrived at the entrance, two women holding swords were blocking the door.

There were traces of martial arts training, but they were not at a very high level.

“Go back. “This is no place for kids.”

There was no reason to get excited because it was something I heard often. Those who couldn’t recognize the yin-yang twin monsters all had the same reaction.

Yu Seol silently opened the wooden box and showed the inside.

Click-!

“How much is it?”

When the women realized that Yoo Seol was a guest, their attitude quickly changed.

“Wait a moment… just wait.”

One of the two went inside and reappeared only after half hour.

“Please come in here.”

“Your sister.”

After entering inside, Yoo Seol looked around and pouted her lips.

‘Liar old man.’

I heard it’s a place only for women? It was purely misinformation.

The appearance of the magistrates was clearly visible throughout the manor.

But I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was awkward.

This is because they were all people who had not learned martial arts, such as trimming plum trees or carrying luggage.

On the other hand, the women were all warriors who had learned martial arts.

Is there some kind of story?

While I was lost in thought for a moment. Yu Seol, who was being guided, was able to arrive in front of a pavilion.

It was a small place that seemed like an office.

“There are certain things that must be observed in order to do business with our drawing room. Whatever you do, don’t ask the Ark a question first.”

There were a lot of things I wanted to ask, but what could I do?

Yu Seol nodded, soothing her regret.

“all right.”

Grrrr-!

When the woman opened the door, there was an old woman sitting in a chair.

White hair and a face full of wrinkles. He looked so old that it wouldn’t be surprising if he died tomorrow, but he felt an inexplicable vitality.

It was not because of profound internal power. The reason was none other than blue eyes.

The old woman’s pupils were mysterious, as if they could absorb everything, and they were as bright as a universe filled with starlight.

‘This old lady has really pretty eyes.’

Yu Seol silently went and sat across from her.

Then, he placed the wooden box on the table.

But the old woman’s interest was not in the contents of the wooden box. She was staring intently at Yoo Seol’s face.

“How could he have experienced all the hardships of the world at such a young age?”

“….”

Yu Seol flinched internally.

Even though he didn’t say anything, it seemed as if he was seeing everything through.

As she spoke, the old woman continued to spy on Yu Seol’s features.

“Oh my. Even though you are a human, you have five senses that are outside the scope of humans. Plus, a physiognomy that will turn the world upside down….”

“….”

Yu Seol still waited without saying anything. This is because I could not ask questions following the warnings of the woman who guided me.

“But it doesn’t feel unfamiliar. “It’s definitely a face I recognize.”

I couldn’t hold back any more rumors because my mouth was itching.

“Have you seen me?”

The old woman began to laugh at Yuseol’s question.

“Huh huh. I remembered that expression. It resembles that face I miss. And I see another person. “The face of the obnoxious woman who took him away from me.”

What kind of strange noise is this?

You just say strange things without even looking at the object. Yooseol was also slowly becoming irritated.

“What did you say?”

“Huh. It is nothing. “It’s all in the past, so what’s the importance of memories of the past?”

“Please look at this quickly. “Grandpa is waiting outside!”

The old woman took out a purse from somewhere and placed it on the table.

“It’s fifty nyang silver. “It’s the value of the gold fossil you brought.”

Fifty nyang of silver was not a small amount of money. It was an amount that one commoner could earn by working for a lifetime.

But isn’t bargaining the basis of a transaction?

“I’ll sell it to you for seventy nyang.”

The Goddess of Mind’s Eyes laughed and suggested the opposite to Yu Seol.

“Oh my. “If you do my grandmother’s favor, I will give you three times this money.”

Three times as much? It was an unimaginable amount.

Yoo Seol’s big eyes widened as if they were about to be torn apart.

“Three times… one hundred and fifty silver nyang?”

“OK. Besides, it’s not a difficult request. All I have to do is bring the grandfather waiting outside to me.”
