Chapter 80: A Good Time Has Come

Handangyudo immediately ran out of the training hall to find his parents.

Hansagwang and his wife shot up from their seats at their son’s energetic voice.

The two had been sitting on chairs placed right in front of the training hall.

They must have been waiting anxiously.

But it wasn't just the two of them.

‘Why are there so many people…’

The area in front of the training hall was packed with people.

Judging by their attire, it seemed that everyone, from relatives, retainers, and servants, had come to wait.

They all broke into bright smiles upon seeing the approaching Handangyudo.

“Oh, look at our nephew's face!”

“It’s so obvious! Aigoo, young master! Finally!”

“Head of the Han Family, congratulations! I can tell just by looking! The family’s long-cherished wish has been granted!”

I know what they are seeing.

Because I too had checked Handangyudo's face after removing the turbid energy.

The turbid energy that had covered the child’s face, especially the murky veil over his eyes, was completely gone.

In its place, his eyes were incredibly bright and sparkling!

“Truly, truly this is…”

Amidst the downpour of congratulations, Handangyudo leaped into his parents’ arms.

The couple embraced their son tightly.

Both father and mother had tears welling up in their eyes. With those eyes, they caressed their son’s face, met his eyes, and hugged him again.

They look happy, maybe I should slip away.

“Benefactor! Where is our benefactor?”

The moment I thought of leaving, the couple quickly raised their heads.

“Benefactor! How can we ever repay this grace!”

Hansagwang rushed over to me and clasped my hands.

“To think I was deceived by someone like Master Jang when there was such a person as you!”

This time, Madam Han approached me with Dangyu.

I smiled faintly and nodded.

The couple and Handangyudo aside.

“There’s no need for everyone to come flocking ……”

Weren’t all the people who were waiting coming towards me at once?

“To think there was such a renowned martial artist! You are the benefactor of this Han Family!”

“Thank you! The young master's face is brighter than ever before!”

“This is something that even our martial arts could not accomplish. The Ink Sword Great Hero’s reputation is well-deserved!”

“No! Isn’t it that his reputation fails to capture the reality!”

“That's right, that's right! Let us all speak up. We must add to the Ink Sword Great Hero's reputation!”

I was completely surrounded by people. Everyone was talking to me, shaking my hands, and even hugging me.

But seeing their happy faces, I couldn’t just push them away and leave.

Sensing my situation, Hansagwang stepped forward.

“It is too crowded, and our benefactor will be uncomfortable. I will personally escort him, so everyone please step back. My lady, please take care of Dangyu.”

“Yes, I will. Everyone! Shall we all take a walk in the rear garden with Dangyu?”

The people, though reluctant, moved away from me.

They also wanted to spend time with the new Handangyudo.

As Madam Yang led them toward the rear garden.

“Teacher! Take care!”

Handangyudo came running over and hugged me.

“Haha. Yes, have fun with your family, and let’s see each other again tomorrow.”

Dangyu looked up at me.

“Then are you going to fix older brother Kang Yoohun too?”

“Kang Yoohun?” The source of this content ɪs NoveIꜰire.net

“Yes! He was having a hard time too. He was growling and everything.”

That feels different from turbid energy.

“Then I must meet him. Don't worry.”

For now, I'll just remember the name I heard.

As I stood up, Hansagwang approached.

“Please come this way.”

He took my hand and personally led me to the guest hall.

“Huu, forgive my presumptuousness, but the atmosphere of your family is truly harmonious. It seems Elder Han has led you with great virtue.”

Seeing everyone so happy with one heart, I can clearly tell.

“You flatter me. It’s just that it was a matter the family had been worrying about for so long.”

Hansagwang’s face was also excited.

He must want to spend time with his son too. He was here so as not to neglect his benefactor.

Let’s just have a quick cup of tea and go back.

Hansagwang with Handangyudo.

Jin Yeomyeong with Jin Taebok.

Each of us can have a good time.

“This is top-grade Ujeon Tea.”

The fragrant aroma rising from the teacup naturally relaxed my mood.

Even the maids who brought the tea sent me looks of gratitude.

Contrary to my plan of having a quick cup of tea and returning.

“Benefactor. First, please receive my bow.”

The great noble who shakes Kaifeng is about to bow to me.

And why is this ‘first’?

I, too, reached out my hand first.

“I did not desire such courtesy. I only did what was my duty.”

“Because I am a martial artist of the White Path.”

Because I am just walking the path the White Path must walk.

But Hansagwang seemed to think differently.

“Even if you say you did not do it for a reward, the Han family has received too great a grace. Above all, as a father, I cannot stand still.”

I am a father too, so I understand his feelings.

But a bow is a bit embarrassing.

“Benefactor. Is there anything you desire? Please allow me to express my gratitude in any way. I cannot let you leave just .”

“As I said, I am a martial artist, so I did not do this for any particular reward… no, that’s not it.”

Today’s home visit was not intended from the beginning.

But now that I'm here, there is no better pretext for reconnaissance.

Since I don't know what situation the Rogues’ Guild Leader is in, I can't recklessly say I've come looking for him.

What if I conduct this home visit at every house?

Furthermore, the words Handangyudo said to me come to mind.

He said a child named Kang Yoohun was ‘growling’.

I need to visit that house as well.

“By any chance, could you use your influence to allow me to make home visits to other houses?”

“Home visits? You desire such a thing?”

“Yes. I would like to know more about how the students spend their days, and what kind of people their parents are.”

“I would grant you whatever you wish for. But home visits! You are truly a great teacher! The word instructor is not right. From now on, I will call you Great Hero, just as they do outside!”

My conscience pricked me.

No, but this much should be fine, right?

“I understand. For that, I will have my wife speak about it at the Virtuous Mothers' Association. My wife will gladly agree. The Virtuous Mothers' Association will likely welcome it as well when they hear about today’s events.”

“That would be good.”

“Now, is there anything else you desire?”

“I can’t say I’ve done anything for you just by arranging the home visits!”

And then, Hansagwang himself brought up a suggestion.

“You are advertising a toothbrush, are you not?”

That’s right. I am advertising it.

But why is a toothbrush coming up here?

“I heard from my wife while waiting for Dangyu earlier. They say you took out a toothbrush at the selection tournament and are now called the Toothbrush Hero?”

“Toothbrush Hero…. Yes, unintentionally.”

It happened yesterday, but the news has spread like wildfire.

I shouldn't underestimate the power of advertising.

Contrary to my thoughts, Hansagwang's suggestion was a powerful one.

“Our family has influence in the vicinity of Kaifeng. We will have the family purchase and distribute the toothbrushes.”

“If the Han family puts its weight behind it, Kaifeng will soon be using toothbrushes regularly. We will have the trading company you are advertising for supply the goods.”

Golden Cloud Trading is my financial backer.

If it helps Golden Cloud Trading take a leap forward into the world, there was no need to refuse.

“This is unexpected……. Thank you.”

“Also, also, if there is anything else you desire, please tell me.”

Even after promising to distribute the toothbrushes in Kaifeng, Hansagwang was restless, unable to do more for me.

“If I send you a list of spiritual medicines later, could you look for them?”

“Spiritual medicines. As a martial artist, it's only natural.”

That’s not the reason, but.

The search for spiritual medicines was something I had to ask of anyone.

“Please send me the list. There are merchants who cater only to families like ours, so I will look into it.”

I had heard of it before.

They say there are merchants who sell luxury goods only to the noble families. Couldn't such a merchant also sell spiritual medicines?

“Is that all? Now, please tell me more.”

Hansagwang's eyes continued to sparkle.

He didn't mind my requests.

He didn't seem burdened at all.

So I won’t say that’s enough.

“Yes, well……. We can talk about it gradually.”

There is much to do in the future.

I don't know what might happen on the spiritual medicine journey.

There's no harm in having the power of a great noble behind me, is there?

But Hansagwang himself didn't stop there either.

“Benefactor. In the Kaifeng noble family complex, it is forbidden to give money privately to the instructors of the academy.”

“Yes, that would be so. If you did, discipline would quickly crumble.”

“That is right. Therefore.”

“Please accept it secretly.”

As if he had been on standby, a servant appeared as soon as he was called.

He was carrying a single waistcoat.

“Thank you, Great Hero.”

Even that servant thanked me and disappeared.

“The lining of the waistcoat is special.”

There was a reason he had struggled.

“There’s something hard and heavy inside.”

“It also sparkles. Yellowly.”

I tore the inside of the waistcoat just a little.

A brilliant golden light greeted me.

It meant that the inside of the waistcoat was filled with gold bars.

“It is just a piece of clothing. Please wear it and go.”

I was slightly conflicted, but.

The more money I prepare for purchasing spiritual medicines, the better.

Hansagwang still urged me on.

“If there is anything you need, you must tell me. You must.”

As I put on the waistcoat, I asked without much thought.

“Did you prepare this while I was in the training hall?”

“What would you have done if you had prepared this and the result was not what you wanted?”

What came back was silence.

Wondering if I had said something wrong, I looked at him.

Hansagwang suddenly straightened his posture.

The atmosphere had changed.

Not an excited face, but somewhere…

Relief… no, a slightly different expression…

“I had all sorts of thoughts outside the training hall.”

“I had agreed, and Dangyu had wanted it too. But still, I could not calm my heart.”

It must have been so.

Although I had cleared Handangyudo's turbid energy during class, I was someone he had met for the first time today.

He had entrusted his child to such a person and was waiting outside.

How could his heart be calm?

“If things go wrong, then what do I do, such thoughts kept coming to me.”

I had been like that too.

Before my regression, what if I can't find all the spiritual medicines, what if the Energy Guidance and Exercise goes wrong, I lived with all sorts of thoughts.

Every time I lay down to sleep, those thoughts would creep up, and I would fight with them for a long time.

“To get a hold of my agitated heart, I deliberately thought only of a good outcome. I pictured Dangyu walking out with a smile, and things turning out just as you had said, benefactor.”

I had also pictured Taebok fully recovered and playing together.

Not coughing, not lying down from fatigue, running with a bright smile, and me running after him.

“As I did that, I ended up picturing everyone celebrating together, and even expressing my gratitude to you, benefactor. That's why I had it prepared.”

had pictured everyone celebrating with the martial artists I knew, and expressing my gratitude to the Divine Physician.

Although that time had not come for me.

It came for Hansagwang.

“Head of the Han Family. You would have done so even if I hadn't said it, but please spend a lot of time with Dangyu from now on.”

“Now Dangyu will be able to do everything more joyfully. Please go out and play here and there.”

“If he wants to study together, study with him, and if he wants to move his body, do it with him.”

“Please have a good time with your child.”

That time had not come.

That's why I came back.

Because I wanted to have that time.

But as I walked the path of the White Path.

I had also become someone who could give that time to others.

I want to see our little flying boy.

I too will have a good time with Taebok today.
