Heavenly Inquisition Sword Chapter 1397

Episode 1397. Even if I play around, they’ll pretend not to notice

After a few days the once noisy Seokgyeongjang became as quiet as before.

And the daily routine of Seok Kyeong-jang’s family members was repeated.

I spent time with my family and went fishing in Simtong and Soho.

Namgung-yeon spent her spare time reading in her seogak.

Yeon Ji-an hung out with Wol-ah and Geum-ah.

No it is more accurate to say that Wol-ah and Geum-ah took care of Yeon-ji-an.

Fortunately Yeon Ji-an was incredibly smart for her age so Wol-ah and Geum-ah were not tired.

The three lived together like sisters with a large age difference.

People tend to resemble each other.

Ha So-baek and Han Chae-yeon like Dang Woon-mang were absent from Yakje Dang.

All that happened was for Han Chae-yeon to get some fresh air outside with her daughter.

Seokgyeongjang did not mean that outsiders did not come and go.

At the end of the month Hefei’s business managers visited with ledgers.

At such times Namgung-yeon met them at her seogak.

Other than the business managers there were no outsiders coming in and out of Seokgyeongjang.

In the Namgung family only Namgung Cheon would occasionally visit in her carriage.

The brothers-in-law were far away and could not visit so instead they sent letters through Pyo-guk.

It’s been three months.

As the South Alliance’s martial arts competition (April) was approaching the Hocheon Alliance feeling a crisis declared a ‘Murim competition on Dragon Boat Festival (May 5th of the lunar calendar)’.

Anyone can see that it is a confrontational structure between the Southern Alliance and the Hocheon Alliance.

Ahead of the South Alliance’s martial arts competition the martial arts factions were in disarray.

This is because of so-called queuing.

Last year as a result of the conflict between the Southern Alliance and the Hocheon Alliance more than a dozen factions were wiped out and over a thousand people were killed or injured.

If the Southern Alliance advanced beyond Namjikrye Fortress there would be even more bloodshed than last year.

Does it stick to the traditionally strong Chilpai Moon?

Or will it join the five major families that have emerged as emerging powers?

The area except for Namjikryeseong Fortress was virtually under the control of Hocheonmaeng.

But participating in the Southern Alliance’s martial arts competition?

A check on the Hocheonmaeng will begin immediately and they will suffer all kinds of humiliation.

However if I participate in the Hocheon Alliance martial arts competition I am afraid of the military power of the Southern Alliance.

The martial factions who were concerned carefully sent their disciples to the martial arts competition of their choice.

Unlike Murim Bangpa who was on fire Sangbang took his time.

Because they don’t have to choose one side.

The ten merchants of the continent decided to send congratulatory envoys to the Southern Alliance and the Hocheon Alliance.

The first day of April.

Early in the morning Mo Yong-gak the Confederate general came to Seokgyeongjang.

Sosam the gatekeeper of Seokgyeongjang guided him to the guesthouse.

After a while Yeon Jeok-ha wandered into the guest hall.

Mo Yong-gak who discovered Yeon Jeok-ha jumped up from where he was sitting.

“Yeon Daehyeop. “This is Mo Yong-gak the Commander-in-Chief of the South Confederation.”

Considering the age of Yeon Jeok-ha who is only 28 years old it is an excessive title.

If someone had seen it they might have said it was Moyonggak’s flattery.

But now Mo Yong-gak was only paying attention to Yeon Jeok-ha’s detached energy.

As the year changed the year we saw was different from last year.

Until last year it felt like I was seeing Mt. Taishan but now it was just a distant sight.

Yeon Jeok-ha sat down across from Moyonggak.

“What happened this morning?”

Mo Yong-gak took out a red booklet from his arms held it out politely and said

“This is an invitation to the Qingming Festival’s martial arts competition.”

“ah.”

Yeonjeokha let out a light exclamation.

“The Master said that he would be grateful if you would come and grace the occasion.”

“yes.”

Yeonjeokha nodded.

If I didn’t attend the event held at my in-laws’ house there would be rumors of discord again so I thought I would just participate.

“thank you. Would you like the Confederacy to send a carriage?”

Mo Yong-gak took a quick look at Yeon Jeok-ha’s complexion.

The success or failure of the martial arts competition held by the Southern Alliance depended on Yeon Jeok-ha’s attendance.

The undisputed leader of all time and modern times who defeated the combined efforts of the world’s top ten masters who were attacking Namcheon.

Most of the guests at the martial arts competition must have come to see him.

Even if Yeon Jeok-ha shows his face the morale of the Confederacy will skyrocket.

“Yes thank you.”

I did not decline to repeat it.

It was his job to find a carriage and driver and he had no reason to refuse the Confederacy’s offer to do it.

“no. Rather I am grateful. “We will prepare without a hitch.”

Mo Yong-gak was relieved to learn that Yeon Jeok-ha had decided to attend the martial arts competition.

In fact there was a lot of talk in the headquarters about whether Yeon Jeok-ha would attend.

This is because of the rumor that Empress Dowager Nam Gung-yeon is trying to distance himself from the Southern Alliance.

In fact Namgung Yeon stopped visiting not only the Nammaeng but also the Namgung family.

Some say it was because of disappointment with the leader Namgung Byeok but no one knew why Namgung Yeon did that.

Yeon Jeok-ha asked as a greeting.

“Are you ready?”

“Yes I was surprised that more people came than I expected. Not only from Namjikryeseong but also from all over the world martial artists flock here making it difficult to find a room in the guesthouse. “The South is recruiting private houses and lending them to the participants.”

“Thank goodness. “I thought there would be a problem because Hocheonmaeng was also holding a martial arts competition.”

“I was able to breathe a little easier because the Hocheon Alliance held a martial arts competition. “If they had stayed silent they might have been run over and killed by the participants.”

The smile did not leave Mo Yong-gak’s face.

I chuckled at his bragging.

Encouraged by Yeon Jeok-ha’s positive response Mo Yong-gak continued to speak.

He promised to “send congratulatory embassies from all over the continent.” Just by looking at it you can see what the position of the Confederacy is.”

“Good. Anyway I hope you get good results. All I have to do is show my face right?”

“Oh my! Yes if we ask for more we are being greedy. All you have to do is come and watch the juniors dance.”

“All right. “Then I’ll see you that day.”

This is an order for guests to leave once they have finished their business.

Mo Yong-gak stood up without saying a word and bowed to Yeon Jeok-ha.

“I’ll just go back to resuscitating myself.”

Mo Yong-gak was so nervous that he even used the word ‘resuscitation’ without thinking.

When Moyonggak left he returned to Yeonjeokhae’s main house.

And she quietly placed the bag next to Namgung-yeon who was combing her daughter’s hair.

“This is an invitation to the martial arts competition. “They said they would send a carriage so I said yes.”

Namgung-yeon did not even pay attention to her concubine.

“Don’t be too accepting of the Confederacy. They will eventually start a war with the Ho Tian Meng. “If they keep accepting it they might try to drag you into their war.”

Yeonji Ahn who was leaving her hair with her mother intervened.

“dad? Are you going to war?”

Yeon Jeok-ha hurriedly waved his hand and denied it.

“No Dad doesn’t go out there. Dad doesn’t have time for that. “Sim has to go fishing with his grandfather.”

“Can’t I go fishing with Dad too?”

“What about Wol-ah and Geum-ah?”

“We can all go together.”

“You don’t like touching earthworms right? “To fish you have to thread an earthworm on a needle?”

“Oh that won’t work. “I’ll just play with my sisters.”

Yeon Ji-an did not stubbornly give up.

It wasn’t because of the earthworm but because he felt like his father was trying to take him away.

Yeonjeokha internally sighed.

It wasn’t that she couldn’t be bothered taking her daughter with her she just needed some alone time.

Just as Namgung-yeon spends most of her free time reading in her study room.

Looking at him like that Namgoongyeon chuckled.

“Jeokhaya.”

“yes?”

“She takes Ji-an with her when she says she is going. After a while the day will come when you won’t go even if you beg to go together. And didn’t she say she was sad because she couldn’t play with Jian?”

Yeon Jeok-ha looked at the back of her daughter’s head.

Suddenly I remembered the story I heard from Luna Mylus (Namgoong Yeon) in the Fourth Heaven about her daughter.

It sobered her mind to think of her daughter who had grown old and lonely after her mother had passed away waiting for her father to return.

“Jian let’s go fishing with Dad and Grandpa Sim. “I’m taking Wol-ah and Geum-ah with me.”

“Can I really go?”

“of course.”

“Wow I’m excited. “Thank you Dad.”

Yeonji An clenched his dainty fist and shook his upper body from side to side.

That day without any plans to enroll I took my whole family and set off for Soho.

Soho.

As expected Yeon Ji-an showed no interest in fishing.

Yeon Ji-an hated even touching earthworms and eventually fishing turned into boating.

Sim Tong could not let go of his regrets and cast his fishing rod alone from the stern.

As her daughter hung out with Wola Geum-ah Yeon Jeok-ha also found a fishing rod and approached Sim Tong with it.

“Did you catch anything?”

“What can come out of talking like a mayor next to you? “How sensitive are fish?”

“Doesn’t that mean Old Man Shim can’t catch fish?”

“If you catch me I will be your son.”

Yeonjeokha was moved to tears by the unusual provocation of heartache.

“good. Since I come from a well-established family they will not register me as a registered child. “Just call me father until you die.”

After receiving the concubine from Yeon Mu-dal Yeon Jeok-ha often said that she came from a ‘family with good bones’.

“Say that while holding a fish.”

“Wait just a moment.”

From then on I kept my mouth shut and focused on fishing until the sunset.

Around sunset when Yeon Ji-an whined that she was hungry Yeon picked up her fishing rod.

“I’m stopping because Jian is getting annoyed. “Thank you old man Shim for our Ji-an.”

“Confucius was a public official too right? Did I tell you? “If it’s noisy you can’t fish.”

“It’s not that it’s not possible there’s no meat. “I’m not going around because it’s chilly.”

I was stubborn until the end withdrawing my fishing rod.

Shen Tong knew that he was making a fuss and did not refute any more.

After a while Yeon Jeok-ha’s family and Shen-tong’s group headed to a nearby lakeside restaurant.

Soho spot.

The family of six including Yeon Jeok-ha’s family and Shen-tong’s party got two window seats.

It was a long time since they ate out so the smiles did not leave Yeon Ji-an Wol-ah and Geum-ah’s mouths.

The giggling sounds of a girl and a child rang in the air.

A few sensitive guests glanced at it but since it looked like a family outing they pretended not to see it.

But not everyone is favorable.

It is only half a hour (1 hour) from Soho to the provincial village where the Confederate headquarters is located.

Lodging establishments and restaurants near Soho were crowded with customers from out of town.

Huanglongbang is a branch of a powerful political district in Zhejiang Province.

Since Huang Longbang’s presence in Zhejiang Province which had no significant defense was significant the Southern Alliance was putting special effort into recruiting Huang Longbang.

As a result Hwang Ryongbang’s shoulders were naturally under a lot of stress.

The eyes of Han Bi-ho the Hwangryongshingun of the Ark who turned his head involuntarily at the sound of girls’ laughter grew as big as a flower lantern.

The appearance of the young girl and the two girls was surprising but the woman in her twenties who was with them was as beautiful as if a fairy had torn out of a painting and jumped out.

“Brother Zhang.”

At his subtle call Vice Lord Iron Blood Sword Jang Dou frowned slightly.

Ark is because he called himself a brother when he was doing something messy somewhere.

“yes.”

“I met the man of my dreams. “Please go and find out whose house she is and what her name is.”

Jang Do-woo turned his head to where the Ark’s gaze was directed.

At the window seat a group of people who appeared to be a family were having a happy time.

“Ark the Confederate headquarters is not far away.”

“So what? Don’t you know the expectations the South Alliance has for our Hwangryongbang? “Even if I hang out in Soho they’ll pretend not to notice.”

“but….”

“It is Woohyung’s lifelong wish. “Should I personally step forward to save the Hwangryongbang Ark?”

When Ark humbled himself to that extent Jang Do-woo reluctantly stood up.
