Chapter 261: Anhui (2)
Anhui.
Like I said, it’s a place I’ve been to in my past life.
Anhui Palace didn’t fall behind Henan, especially since it was home to the Namgung Clan.
I never had much reason to visit, and when I did, it lacked the lively atmosphere it has right now.
Back then, during the time when the Heavenly Demon appeared, bringing calamity to the world, Anhui was destroyed by the sword of a single woman.
If I exaggerated a little, Anhui was almost a wasteland at that time.
The symbol of noble clans and the guardian of Anhui was completely erased from existence by one person, and the ones that barely survived ended up succumbing themselves to the Heavenly Demon.
Because of that, people living in Anhui were forced to flee to Shaolin and Henan with the Murim Alliance.
It is so different now.
It was obvious why.
The calamity hadn’t happened yet, and Namgung Bi-ah hadn’t changed either.
The number of buildings and people I saw outside the window couldn’t be compared with Shanxi.
To be fair, comparing Anhui’s Namgung Clan to Shanxi’s Gu Clan was difficult to begin with.
As I continued to gaze outside the window, Moyong Hi-ah, sitting next to me, whispered,
“This place is the same as ever.”
“You’ve been here a lot?”
“Not a lot, but once or twice...?”
It felt weird for me to ask her if she came here a lot.
Comparing the two, the Moyong Clan didn’t really fall behind the Namgung Clan.
Now that I think about it, only the Gu Clan looks a bit poor compared to these clans.
It wasn’t just a visual impression; it was the reality.
It’s thanks to Lady Mi that the streets of Shanxi are being maintained.
Which makes it harder for me to understand.
The engagement between Namgung and Gu Clan. for new novels
Just why?
I thought about it a few times but couldn’t understand why the great Namgung Clan chose Gu Clan out of all clans.
My title was only barely spread after the tournament of Dragons and Phoenixes, but my engagement with Namgung Bi-ah was made long before that, which meant that the engagement wasn’t due to my reputation.
What did the Second El- ...The First Elder do to make this happen?
At that time, I heard that the First Elder visited Namgung Clan himself and spoke with their elders.
Even after thinking about it a hundred times, I couldn’t understand.
What trickery did he pull off... that old man.
I didn’t really care too much in the past, but now that I think about it, the First Elder was a very special person.
It didn’t seem like he did anything special despite being an Elder, often went outside the clan, and wasn’t given many tasks within the clan.
For example, besides being the head of Gu Sunmoon, he didn’t seem to have other tasks unlike the Third and Fourth Elders, who had duties within the clan.
People around him are weird.
Each and every person that’s supposedly his friend, are monsters.
What the hell did he do to make such friends?
“...Seriously, he doesn’t have a single normal person around him.”
How could he not have a single normal friend?
“I’m the only one who’s normal.”
A sigh escaped my mouth.
As I shook my head, I felt a strange gaze from next to me.
When I turned my head, I saw Moyong Hi-ah and Namgung Bi-ah both staring at me with strange expressions.
“What?”
“...”
“Nothing...”
What, what’s going on?
Just as I was about to ask why the two girls were looking at me like that,
“We have arrived.”
The horseman announced.
We have finally arrived at Namgung Clan after a long trip.
******************
I thought about when I visited the Tang Clan of Sichuan for the Military Exhibition of Tang the year before last year.
Tang Clan, I saw at that time, was so big that it couldn’t even be compared to Gu Clan,and to show how much land they possessed, there were beautiful sceneries everywhere.
It was as if the Tang Clan was proving themselves to be one of the great Four Noble Clans.
The great clan was formed thanks to the ancestors of the Tang Clan building up their eminence.
The only clan comparable was the Namgung Clan, the center of the Four Noble Clans.
It’s big, disgustingly big.
I waited by the entrance after getting off the carriage, and I was able to see the greatness inside the Clan.
It was impossible to compare it to the Gu Clan, and the Namgung Clan even looked more refined compared to the Tang Clan.
Moreover,
I could feel the sharp presence all the way from here.
I was able to feel the sharp presences from inside the clan.
It was the combined aura of the trained swordsmen of the clan.
They really are a clan of swords huh.
During this, Namgung Bi-ah was dozing off despite getting off the carriage.
Is this girl hibernating all four seasons?
She really didn’t seem to do anything else besides eat, sleep, and train.
She always seemed tired.
“Wake up.”
When I repeatedly shook Namgung Bi-ah to wake her up, Moyong Hi-ah approached me and whispered.
“I’ll be leaving first, Young Master.”
“Hmm? You’re going?”
“Yes, I have a business that I have to take care of first.”
I heard that she had something to do in Anhui, but shouldn’t she visit the Namgung Clan first?
Just as that question popped up in my mind, Moyong Hi-ah answered,
