Absolute Sword Sense Chapter 345

< Side story Episode 1 Soyoungyoung's story (1) >

Two months have passed since that day that shocked the martial arts world.

I returned to my hometown, Yulang County, after a very long time.

In fact, I no longer have any affection for it as my hometown.

My mother's memorial tablet was also enshrined in Hyeongsanpa, and now I think my family home is Biwolyeongjong of Musangseong.

Biwolyeongjong is the mother's sect.

My maternal grandfather loves me like a daughter.

For the first time, I felt the bond of family and I think it filled the void my mother left behind.

Besides, unlike my older brother, I do not share his blood with him, but he treats me like his own child.

That's why I no longer have any attachment to Ikyangso.

But the reason I came to Yulang County after such a long time was to pick up the loom that my mother had given me when I was young and the things I used when I was young.

-Whoohoohoo!

But what is all this hassle?

My older sister Namgung Ga-hee, the head of Bonghwangdang who came with me, said to me.

“Oh my. Holy crap. Why are there so many people?”

“I don’t know either.”

As my sister said, there was a long line of people waiting outside the entrance to Soga.

The wagon was full of all kinds of things, but I couldn't figure out what it was.

“It feels like we’ve come to offer tribute to the king.”

“…….Do you see it that way too, Sister?”

It looks that way to me too.

As far as I know, it's not a special day for Ikyangso, so what's going on?

As I approached the main gate to enter the entrance, the gatekeepers guarding the front gate recognized me and shouted at me.

“Are you here, miss?”

"miss?"

Suddenly, the people lined up turned their gaze towards me.

At the same time, he was looking at me and I was momentarily embarrassed.

“Ohhh!”

“This is So Young-young, the head of Bonghwangdang!”

“Isn’t she the younger sister of Jin Yun-hwi, the best swordsman in the world?”

My face turned red from the shouts of the people, and I felt like I was going to burst into flames.

My sister covered her mouth with her hand and tried to hold back her laughter, as if she found my reaction funny.

“Fuck, psychics are so popular.”

'…….Damn brother.'

Thanks to my brother, I too got some attention.

Even on my way here, this kind of thing happened countless times.

Because of that, I was scared to go into places like villages, but now that so many people are paying attention to me, I don't know what to do.

“Soyoungyoung Yeohyeop! I am Jang Iseong, the head of the Gapjeongmun clan from Jo Yeonghyeon. It is an honor to meet you.”

“Miss! Miss! I am Go Young-hae, the head of the upper class of Yuman.”

“Oh my. The person in the back row suddenly came to the front. What are they doing? So Young-young, the female co-worker. I am Moon Hyung-jung of the Ojak family. I wanted to see you anyway…”

Oh my god, my head is spinning.

Why are you trying so hard to look good to me?

“Haha. Of course it’s because you have a great older brother. Young Mae.”

My sister said as if she had read my mind.

yes yes.

Thanks to my talented older brother, I've been receiving a lot of attention in my life.

“……That good-looking brother. Do you want me to take him with me?”

“Oh my, really?”

My sister smiled brightly at my words and said:

This older sister… It seems like it wasn't a lie when she said she was interested in my older brother.

Please bear with me.

I already have three new sisters, so that's a headache in its own way.

'I'm sure you'll have a hard time handling those sisters.'

People still don't know.

How scary are your brother's wives.

The eldest sister is the daughter of Sima Zhao, one of the five great evildoers and the leader of the Wol-ak-geom.

At least Sister Samayoung is cute.

The two older sisters who are competing for the second new sister position are absolute masters who can be counted on one hand in the entire martial arts world.

If it becomes known that one person is the new leader of the Blood Cult and the other is the Ice Palace Lord of the newly rebuilt Bukhae Ice Palace, the martial arts world will once again be shocked.

No, maybe less than that time?

When I think back to that time, I really think my older brother was amazing.

'How did you get the idea to reveal all that on the spot?'

.

.

.

[What are you talking about? The leader of the cult is also the lord of the peerless cult?]

[Ha……So you're saying that the leader is the son of the Blood Demon, the leader of the Blood Sect, and the Lord of the Unrivaled Castle, the Great Swordsman of the Mujeong Wind God?]

[The Soseongju is a blood horse? How can something like this be so absurd……]

Everyone present was astonished.

The leaders of the Blood Cult were also dumbfounded, as if they had just learned that their older brother was the lord of the Musangseong Fortress, and the elders, who were the leaders of the Martial Arts Federation, were also unable to hide their bewilderment.

As a result, it turned out that one person, Orabeoni, or rather Jin Woon-hwi, was the central figure of the three major powers in the martial arts world.

[This can't be happening!]

[How can you deceive this without deceiving the entire martial arts world?]

The one that reacted most violently was, of course, the Martial Arts Federation.

From their perspective, they could accept their brother as the lord of the peerless castle, but they absolutely could not tolerate their brother as a blood demon.

But you know what's funny here?

No one dared openly ask his brother to step down from his position as leader.

Because everyone there went in acknowledging one fact.

[The best in the world]

My brother was a self-proclaimed leader.

Who would dare to act recklessly against my brother who even destroyed that monstrous dragon?

But not everyone was so cautious.

The blood sect was different.

[I think it would be best to make this clear now. If you put your mind to it, it wouldn’t be a problem to unify the martial arts world from here.]

The one who spoke so arrogantly was none other than Baek Hye-hyang, the vice-regent of the Blood Cult.

She started a fire on the spot while fighting with her second older sister.

Thanks to this, as soon as the Inyo War ended, the atmosphere became so tense that it seemed as if the Second Jeongsa War was about to break out.

[Click, click, if you give the order, I will bring those bastards to their knees in an instant. Leader.]

The bizarre Hae-ak-cheon, who was said to be my brother's teacher, was also inciting the situation by making a fuss for no reason.

In a tense situation, my brother's choice exceeded everyone's expectations.

[I will step down from my positions as the leader of the martial arts world and the leader of the blood sect at the same time.]

[!?]

This time, the Blood Cult, which had instigated the unification of the martial arts world, could not hide their bewilderment at the sudden declaration.

My brother declared it to everyone.

Now, he says he will live his life as Jin Yun-hwi, the son of Jin Seong-baek, the lord of Musangseong.

.

.

.

The older brother who declared so appointed Baek Hye-hyang, who was the vice-leader, as the leader of the blood cult on the spot, and out of the blue recommended Wolakgyeom Sama-chak as the next leader.

Since the succession to the Blood Cult was the order of the Blood Demon, no one had any objections, but when one of the Five Great Evils, Wolakgyeom, was recommended for the position of leader, chaos broke out once again.

However, public opinion became quite strange when Brother-in-law cleared the false charges against Wolakgyeom Samachak on the spot.

The prejudices of the political faction regarding the Wolakgyeom Sima Zhao have changed considerably, to the point where it is impossible to predict what the outcome of the upcoming leader election will be.

If the Wolakgyeom Sima Zhak is really elected as the leader, it could be the biggest upset in the martial arts world.

Well, whoever I am, the present is what matters.

“No.”

At my firm words, Namgung Ga-hee pouted her lips and said.

“You just told me to take you?”

“Even if he’s not my brother, there are many good men out there, Sister.”

“There is only one master in the world, Young Mae Orabeoni.”

“……..Ahem. That may be true, but I said no! I’m saying this for my sister’s sake.”

“This is making me feel a little guilty.”

I told you, if you keep being picky, you'll get hurt, sis.

If I tell you who your brother's three wives are, you might give up.

Then someone said to me.

“Madam Yang, our lord sent a messenger, but how did you make the decision?”

'!?'

Hawk?

What the hell is this nonsense about dog eating grass?

But he wasn't the only one who said this.

“Did you send a hawk from Gapjeongmun too?”

“Did you send Jeong Do-mun too?”

“We have already received a reply saying that we will consider it positively.”

“Oh my. It looks like all the major sects and families in Honam Province have sent their followers.”

I was amazed by the conversation they were having.

I came here determined to cut ties with Ikyang Soga, but without me knowing, a matchmaker was coming and going and discussing marriage.

Sister Namgung Ga-hee spoke to me, sticking out her tongue.

“Hey… Young Mae. At this point, you can choose the husband you want. Or you can have multiple husbands….”

“Sister!”

“I’m joking. I’m joking.”

“I’m not in the mood to joke around right now.”

I strode into the cowshed with angry steps.

I originally planned to head to the main church building, but I ended up going straight to Jakyangdang, the residence of Mrs. Yang.

A procession continued to the Jakyangdang, and offerings were piled up and overflowing outside the warehouse.

'Use this? Ha!'

Without even thinking or doing anything, I went into the Jakyangdang.

I saw the female guards of Lady Yang, who were guarding the Jakyangdang, startle me and run inside in a hurry.

I wonder if Mrs. Yang will report my arrival.

"joy!"

I hurried into the Jakyangdang.

Maybe because there was a line of customers waiting, I couldn't stop them like I usually do.

As I went inside, I heard the voices of Mrs. Yang and the guest in the reception room.

“……Isn’t it a favor to raise her? Please, Madam Yang, speak well to Jin Daehyeop so that he will look upon our daughter with favor.”

“Will there be any chance? Even if things don’t go well, the first and second children are just as good as that child in terms of character, personality, and talent, so you can look forward to it.”

“Hahaha. Okay. I just trust Mrs. Yang…”

I found myself farting.

Now, not only me, but even my brother is selling it.

He has been negotiating my marriage as if I were his family's property, and he still hasn't been able to break that habit.

“Now I understand why Young Mae wants to cut ties with Soga.”

I'm embarrassed to see my sister.

If I had known this would happen, I would have come in alone.

I think I'm going to get annoyed if I listen to this any more.

-bang!

I opened the door to the reception room loudly and went inside.

The female guards of the Jakyangdang tried to dissuade me, but it was too much for their level.

As I went inside, Mrs. Yang frowned and looked at me.

She said, her expression softening as if she was conscious of her guests.

“Young-ah. If you were here, why didn’t you tell me? Right now, this mother is….”

“I don’t know since when the person who told me not to call her mother but to call her Madam Yang started saying that she was my mother.”

She forced herself to control her expression as I spoke harshly.

“Oh my. What did he say that would make the head of the Seyang family misunderstand……”

“My brother already has a fiancée, so what right does Madam Yang have to make such an absurd promise to the head of the Seyang family?”

Even the head of the Seyang family seemed embarrassed by my words and coughed in vain.

Then he soon said to me.

“Hehehe, I’ve always heard that So Yeo-hyeop, the vice-chairman of the Phoenix Hall of the Martial Arts Federation, is very bold, but it really is as I’ve heard.”

“Yes. Thank you for your kind words.”

I spoke to him in a dry voice, as if I was saying something I didn't mean.

At this, the head of the Seyang family looked displeased, but tried to smile and spoke to me as if trying to persuade me.

“If a hero like Jin Daehyeop is recognized by the world, who would say anything if he had three wives? Even the three families wanted to have a great man like Jin Daehyeop as their son-in-law, so they did this…."

“My brother has three fiancees. Is that okay with you?”

“Three people?”

At my words, Namgung Ga-hee looked startled and asked back.

The head of the Seyang family also did not know this fact, so he made an embarrassed expression and then soon told me.

“Hahaha, didn’t I just say that? Even if you have three secrets….”

“I am saying this because I am worried whether Seyangga’s daughter will be able to survive among my new sisters.”

“That child is also a daughter of the Muga clan. Since the head of the clan raised her to be strong, you don’t have to worry about that…”

“My first new sister is the daughter of Wolakgyeom Samachak.”

'!?'

The head of the Seyang family was speechless at my words.

I didn't stop there and continued speaking.

“There are two people fighting for the position of the second new sister… One of them is Baek Hye-hyang, the current leader of the Blood Cult and the Blood Witch.”

“Hey, Bloodstain Witch!”

The head of the Seyang family was so surprised that he jumped up from his chair.

Sister Namgung Gahee was also very surprised by this fact and looked at me with wide eyes.

“A blood cult leader?……Oh my god.”

Mrs. Yang was so surprised that her face turned pale.

I didn't stop there and said:

“And the other one is the newly appointed Ice Queen Seol Baek, the one who is the leader of the Eight Great Masters. If the daughter of the head of the household can endure well among them….”

Before I could finish speaking, the head of the Seyang family took the lottery ticket from Madam Yang and spoke urgently.

“Hey… Madam Yang. I think the head of the household has been overly greedy. Please forget about what I asked you today.”

With those words, he left the reception room naked.

Seeing that makes me feel a little better.

But then I heard the voice of my older sister Namgung Ga-hee muttering gloomily next to me.

“…….The standards are too high.”

I guess the nausea has subsided.
