My Granddaughter Is Good At Fighting (1)

Who had hit her one and only grandfather like this?

Swollen lips and those puffed up round eyes—just looking at them broke her heart.

Yu Seol’s hands were trembling.

“…I cannot forgive them.”

It was Yu Jinsan who felt embarrassed by his granddaughter’s extremely angry reaction.

He rolled over to the other side and muttered behind him.

“I just fell down, so don’t worry about it.”

“Don’t lie! Who hit you?”

What grandfather would tell his granddaughter that he had been beaten?

Yu Jinsan waved one hand in front of her.

“It’s late now; come and sleep.”

“…”

It was still a bit too early to go to sleep.

He could still hear his granddaughter’s breathing, rough with emotion.

Yu Jinsan, who gently looked back, was startled by his granddaughter, who was sitting with her arms crossed and a grumpy look on her face. She seemed to be deep in thought.

Was it burdensome to see the gaze of a child? Yu Jinsan got up and left the place.

“I am going out for a while, so you sleep first.”

Yu Seol still had her arms crossed without responding. Her expression was dead serious.

It was then that her grandfather stepped out the door.

The child, muffling her presence, secretly started following her grandfather.

If she were a warrior with absolute strength, there would be no way her grandfather would notice her if she concealed her presence.

Yu Jinsan couldn’t even imagine that his granddaughter was tailing him.

And the place he headed to was Baek Gyu’s place.

“You inside, little one?”

The guard, who was there, lowered his posture and bowed. This was because he remembered how harshly he had blocked the kid and then got treated badly.

Now that he knew this was the elder who had his age turned back, he could do nothing.

“Yes, come on in. Our Clan Leader told us to let you in when you came.”

Yu Jinsan lifted his heels and raised his right hand above his head. It was to pat the guard’s shoulders as he bowed his head.

“Right, you have been through so much.”

Feeling awkward for some reason, the guard stared at the child with an odd look.

Meanwhile, a small shadow appeared on the wall of the pavilion.

Yu Seol was hiding her presence and began eavesdropping on the conversation happening within.

However, most of it was tough to understand. The unfamiliar and complex stories of Kangho. There were just a couple of things she could understand, but she wasn’t interested in those.

All Yu Seol wanted to know was about the beast who had hit her grandfather.

Soon, the child’s eyes narrowed, as if she were listening to what she wanted to hear.

Clack!

The door to the pavilion opened, and Yu Jinsan came out.

Perhaps he was comforted by Baek Gyu, for he looked brighter now.

And the guard bowed again as they left.

“Please be careful, Elder.”

“Right. You be careful, too.”

Yu Jinsan, with his hand behind his back, headed to his residence with light steps.

After a while, it was time to pass the wall and then continue to his residence.

“…Hmmm? Why aren’t you asleep?”

Yu Seol was waiting for him with both hands on her waist.

“I knew this would happen.”

The words of his granddaughter held anger.

Yu Jinsan, with a lot of experience, understood right away. The child followed him.

Well, he couldn’t even blame her. How could he blame the granddaughter, who acted out of concern for him?

“…Did you hear it?”

Yu Seol nodded and asked back.

“Who is Southern Edge?”

Yu Jinsan was puzzled by her question. This had to be the first time she had heard about it.

“Southern Edge…?”

“I heard everything. I heard this Southern Edge guy hit Grandpa.”

It seemed there was some misunderstanding about the person and sect. Yu Jinsan smiled quietly and patted his granddaughter on the back.

“It is late now, so let’s sleep. I will tell you tomorrow.”

“You will really tell me?”

Wasn’t it time to be faithful to his emotions?

And she would surely forget it the next day, so he nodded and went in without much hesitation.

“Right. When has Grandpa ever lied to Seol?”

“…”

Yu Jinsan entered the room and lay down on the side.

His entire body ached because he was beaten terribly by the elders of Southern Edge. It was fortunate that no bones were damaged in the process.

‘Still, I like being young. If I were the same as before, I would have already broken my bones everywhere.’

It was a time when he was lost in thought.

His granddaughter naturally came over to him, placed her arms around him, and lay down next to him.

Her behavior wasn’t odd since she had been like that since she was a child, but it felt awkward now. Perhaps it was because of his short and thin arms.

‘Poor child…’

Was it because this reminded him of wanting to get out for revenge? It seemed pitiful to see her sleeping like this.

This was the age when she needed plenty of love from her mother to grow up. He felt so bad for his granddaughter, who had only her grandfather to depend on.

‘Just grow up healthy. Gandpa will protect you until then.’

Yu Jinsan, who had been quietly making a promise to himself, ended up dozing off.

Because when he thought about it, it was funny. Who was protecting whom?

Even with his strength, he had been unable to overcome his granddaughter, and his physical superiority had vanished now.

He, who was in those thoughts, slowly fell asleep.

How much time has passed?

His eyes slowly opened as he felt the slightest presence going around. Yu Jinsan soon discovered something and flinched at it.

“Wh-what is it?”

His granddaughter was clutching onto a bamboo pole and standing at the front door, waiting.

She was looking at him with an angry expression, like she had made up her mind

“Let us go quickly, Grandpa. To meet the Southern Edge.”

If he refused, it felt like she would drag him there.

Yu Jinsan was embarrassed and began to put on some decent clothes.

“It’s good. Grandpa has fully recovered now. So let’s head out for a walk together first.”

But Seol shook her head.

“No, they said that what was done must be fully returned. If one doesn’t, it will happen again.”

“…Who?”

“Uncle Baek Gyu.”

As expected, the teachings of the Evil Sect persisted.

Yu Jinsan sighed and fell into thought.

He couldn’t help but wonder if he should seek the help of this child or just ignore it.

‘What should we do?’

Although there were many warriors on Mount Southern Edge, none had broken through the wall of Grandmaster.

He had nothing to fear if he took Seol with him.

However, he wanted to avoid it if it posed even the slightest danger to his granddaughter.

‘If by any chance we get surrounded there, our safety wouldn’t be guaranteed.’

He knew it very well because he had experienced it himself. If one got surrounded by the Taoists, escaping would be difficult.

Then, the answer was simple.

‘Just don’t get surrounded, right? If only we could lure them out…?’

Yu Jinsan, who was considering the various possible scenarios, made up his mind.

“But there is one condition.”

“Uh? Like what?”

“You must absolutely listen to what your Grandpa says. You can never go out alone.”

It wasn’t such a difficult request.

Yu Seol, whose face suddenly brightened, nodded.

“Right!”

After finishing preparations, Yu Jinsan came out of the house with her.

He had to stay vigilant and hurry to the Southern Edge. Before leaving, Yu Seol hesitated a bit.

“We have a long way to go, so let’s get started quickly.”

Did she feel better about running along with her Grandpa after a long time? The bright smile never left her face.

“Grandpa, hold my hand.”

Beside him, Yu Seol was cutely stretching out her right hand. Now that he thought about it, he hadn’t held her hand since he came home.

It felt awkward, but he couldn’t avoid his granddaughter’s touch. Yu Jinsan also reached out his small hand and held theirs together.

“Hmm.”

Side by side, the two took their first steps toward their destination. In an instant, it was time to leave their residence.

Yu Jinsan heard the familiar laughter of someone not too far away.

“Puahahaha!”

This bald, middle-aged man with a bulky build was shirtless and clutching a wet towel. At that moment, Baek Gyu was passing by.

At the sight of the two children holding hands and running, he found it amusing.

Yu Jinsan raised one hand with a bitter smile.

‘That guy, seriously…’

Baek Gyu shouted toward the backs of Yu Jinsan and Yu Seol as they moved away.

“Haha! Nice to see that! Have a safe trip!”

At the entrance to the mountain.

In the deserted forest, two children were crouching and staring at the path.

Yu Jinsan and his granddaughter had arrived before they knew it. Even though they hadn’t used any special hiding skills, they were small, and the ambush was easy.

“Child, unless it is dangerous, do not use the Whirlwind Spear in a fight.”

“Okay.”

The Whirlwind Spear was an unrivaled martial art created by their ancestors long ago.

It was a tremendous swinging technique that caused death with the speed of the wind, accompanied by terrifying qi.

Unlike himself, who was still learning a lot, Yu Seol had a better accumulation of qi.

If she were to use it, most opponents would be torn to shreds right there.

“Okay. And don’t come out until Grandpa gives you the signal. You can do that, right?”

“Uh! But when will he come?”

Half an hour had passed since they squatted down and waited.

It was inevitable that a child would get bored looking around the same forest landscape.

“The Taoists who live on that mountain will have to take this road. So they will soon come.”

“When?”

“They will come soon. If you want to be a good person, like grandpa you must always hold a calm mind.”

“How bad is Southern Edge?”

“A friend of the enemy.”

“Enemy?”

Yu Jinsan couldn’t hold back and said it.

‘Right, the one who ruined our family… The one who brutally killed your parents.’

It was then that, suddenly, Yu Seol whispered in this excited voice.

“Grandpa, someone is coming from down there?”

There was still nothing in Yu Jinsan’s field of vision. But if she sensed it, she had to be sure.

“Shh. Be quiet from now on.”

As expected.

After a while, someone did come down that direction.

Gray coat and black fur robe. And even this long sword hanging at the waist. It was clear that he was a Taoist from the Southern Edge Sect.

Yu Jinsan held his breath, waiting for the man to approach. He looked like a wild beast about to attack.

After a while, the distance narrowed to 10 feet.

Tat!

Yu Jinsan jumped off the ground and immediately went for a sidekick. The flying kick was close to that of a squirrel and something the opponent couldn’t avoid.

Kwak!

The Taoist, who was suddenly hit in the chest, rolled back and screamed.

“Kuak! Wh-who is that?”

When he came to his senses, he saw some random kid glaring at him with crossed arms.

“Huh. You must have heard the rumors, right?”

The Taoist monk, who sat down, was looking at Yu Jinsan with a flustered look.

The sect was in a mess the day before because of this one Evil Sect member who infiltrated their sect and escaped. And it was clear that it was this kid based on his looks.

“Yah, you! What do you want?”

Yu Jinsan shook his head and slowly approached him.

“All young Taoists these days are so rude. When one sees an adult, one should first greet them, even if it is by informal means.”
