I Spent One Night with the Terminally Ill Daughter of the World’s Greatest Warrior

Chapter 41




About a month has passed since the funeral celebration for Mo Yongseol transformed into a celebration for the successful treatment of Absolute Meridians and the engagement ceremony.

During this time, countless warriors frequented the downtown area, the heart of the broad region known as Yodong where the Mo Yong Family resides.

Most of those who came went back in shock after witnessing the astounding recovery from the sickness known as Absolute Meridians, or more specifically, the Gu-eum Absolute Meridians.

On the day they had to leave, one by one, they packed their bags, unable to fathom the miraculous recovery without any problem.

Some were so anxious about an uncertain situation that they packed their things early and left Yodong.

Feeling an inexplicable premonition that chaos might break out within the Mo Yong Family, they returned home to avoid the turmoil of the Martial World.

They had to return home eventually, didn’t they? After all, the Central Plains Martial World was not just around the corner.

They couldn’t keep their homes vacant indefinitely. While it seemed that the situation in Yodong was dire, they couldn’t linger indefinitely, so they had to return.

Thus, nine out of ten returned to their original bases.

So, why did the remaining one stay near the Mo Yong Family’s manor?

Even if it meant overpaying for a pricey inn, what could possibly make them change their long-term stay and keenly observe the Mo Yong Family’s situation?

Most of them were relatives of Absolute Meridian patients.

Even if they weren’t immediate family, they were extended family, students of the sect, or individuals with connections who had arranged to stay in inns near the Mo Yong Family.

They closely watched the situation of the Mo Yong Family, ready to wave their registration forms if the family ever started first-come, first-served treatment for Absolute Meridians.

Past relationships with the Mo Yong Family were of no use.

If it were for anything else, the Mo Yong Family would graciously accept them, but they displayed considerable sensitivity regarding Physician Seok Muwol, prioritizing their family above all.

– “Please, our nephew! We beg you!!”

Even to the experts pleading at the main gate for their nephews to receive treatment as soon as they arrived in Yodong, the Mo Yong Family strictly replied without any verbal promise.

– “We will treat emergency patients first.”

– “Who said that?!”

– “Physician Seok Muwol, the only physician capable of creating the Extreme Yang Reversal.”

– “…….”

– “Of course, if they arrive quickly, they can register first and receive treatment, but we won’t be accepting any deceased patients, so if they really need treatment, bring them well.”

All matters regarding Physician Seok Muwol and the treatment of Absolute Meridians were entirely handled by the deputy head, Mo Yongsan.

Mo Yongsan treated everyone fairly, regardless of their status, and offered no privileges, even to the top sects such as the Nine Wudang or the Five Great Families.

Not even to the Martial World Alliance.

If he had exchanged some assistance with the Martial World Alliance, it was only that the alliance leader ordered to urgently convert a inn they had purchased into an accommodation affiliated with the Martial World Alliance and to coordinate with the Mo Yong Family.

Among those who attended the banquet, only about two to three people remained close to the Mo Yong Family.

One: those belonging to the Martial World Alliance who were tasked with assisting in the treatment of Absolute Meridians.

Two: relatives of Absolute Meridian patients.

Initially, there was chaos with the Sword Mistress banging at the Mo Yong Family’s main gate, but as time passed, things began to stabilize, and the commotion gradually subsided.

How could it be otherwise?

Ultimately, it was because the Mo Yong Family publicly declared, “We will treat Absolute Meridian patients.”

While the quantity of Extreme Yang Reversal created was limited, they proclaimed that if Absolute Meridian patients arrived, they would be prescribed Extreme Yang Reversal like Mo Yongseol.

Had it not been for such a declaration, many in the Martial World would have misunderstood or held prejudices.

The Mo Yong Family monopolizes Physician Seok Muwol.

Despite Absolute Meridian patients from other families or sects dying off, they have some scheme regarding the miracle and refuse to share treatment.

This would inevitably lead to massive chaos.

Even if the Sword Saint Mo Yongcheon was the strongest in the Martial World, he would feel considerable burden in facing the desperate in the Martial World.

With such thoughts, people waited for the doors of the Mo Yong Family to open.

There were rumors that some from the Purple Sword Gate had entered, but since no one came out, curiosity arose, wondering if they were undergoing long-term treatment.

The Sword Mistress didn’t appear either.

Rumor had it a stunningly beautiful female swordswoman had made an appearance.

There were also grim tales that those from the Purple Sword Gate insulted Mo Yongseol and were murdered by the Sword Saint’s hand.

Some even maliciously claimed that Physician Seok Muwol was actually an assassin sent by the Demon Cult who, blinded by love, ended up saving his target instead of killing them.

There were many stories circulating, but those staying at the inns near the Mo Yong Family watched with anticipation, hoping for significant changes within the Mo Yong Family.

If anything were to happen, it would surely create a massive event in the Martial World.

Then it happened.

“People from the Hebei Paeng Family have arrived!”

Hebei Paeng Family.

Among the martial families with the surnames Namgung, Dogu, Mo Yong, Paeng, and Jeong-gal, they are praised as the “Five Great Families.”

Among them, where is Hebei Paeng Family located?

The family of emperors.

Their ferocious blade is said to be a challenge even for the Sword Mistress in her prime; without the Mo Yong Family, Hebei Paeng Family would claim the top spot among martial families in the eastern lands north of the Yellow River.

And now, Hebei Paeng Family came to the Mo Yong Family with no less than 50 warriors.

“Could it be…!”

“Are they here to declare war?!”

The head of the family did it personally.

It was unclear whether this visit had been arranged beforehand or if it was an impromptu visit, but the head of the Hebei Paeng Family came all the way to Yodong to knock on the door of the Mo Yong Family.

Creeeek.

The door opened, and the deputy head of the Mo Yong Family, Mo Yongsan, welcomed the head of the Hebei Paeng Family.

A month had gone by.

Aside from when they treated Absolute Meridian patients from the Purple Sword Gate or checked the sword of the Sword Mistress, the gates of the Mo Yong Family had never been opened for outsiders.

People thought:

“Could it be that they are looking to form an alliance with Hebei Paeng Family…?”

Something was definitely ‘happening.’

* * *

[Moments later, in the pavilion of the Divine Nectar Garden.]

Raising hair through the Extreme Yang Reversal [Hair Boosting Potion].

Uplifting the hair of the emperor, formalizing the alliance with the Hebei Paeng Family.

“From an external perspective, the Hebei Paeng Family and Mo Yong Family face each other from relatively close regions, so it may appear as though we are trading over mutual interests.”

I slowly began to speak to a middle-aged man seated across from me.

“Whether it’s martial arts exchanges or any public event to distract attention, Hebei Paeng Family will formally ally with the Mo Yong Family.”

“That alliance ultimately depends on my will.”

Witness the man’s arrogant and rough demeanor as he glares at me.

He is cross-armed, exuding a fierce aura directed at me while fidgeting restlessly.

“Is that your plan, Physician Seok?”

“Yes, Elder Guhwang.”

Elder Guhwang.

A man clad in black martial robes wearing a bamboo hat.

He now reveals his animosity towards me.

“Those still outside do not know that I visited the Mo Yong Family alongside my son.”

“Of course. I heard it’s a challenging situation for you to appear publicly.”

“…….”

“I can treat you. I will return what you have lost, Elder Guhwang.”

“You are incredibly presumptuous.”

Elder Guhwang let out a weary laugh.

“How could something already lost ever be returned?”

“If there is the power of Extreme Yang Reversal, it is possible. And what will make it even clearer is your will, Elder Guhwang’s faith.”

“My faith?”

“Yes. This.”

I took out two medicines.

“After consuming the honeyed form of Extreme Yang Reversal, apply this potion resembling Jinchiang medicine to your head.”

“…….”

One is a honeyed form for patients of Absolute Meridians, and the other is a white, oily ointment similar to a wound medication.

“I am not aware of the contents of the letter that my head sent to Elder Guhwang. But I believe it mentioned that the disease you suffer from could be treated. This Physician Seok is here in person.”

“…Let me ask one last thing.”

Elder Guhwang, gazing intently at me, asked.

“Can you really treat it?”

“Yes. The effectiveness of the medicine lies not within the medication itself, but rather in what you truly wish, Elder Guhwang. According to that wish, the medicine will naturally take effect.”

“…In that case.”

Elder Guhwang removed his bamboo hat.

With a gleam, his hair, released along with the hat, rose up, revealing his true self.

“If you have mocked me for being without hair, then Mo Yong must bathe in the blood of the Paeng Family.”

“Of course.”

I handed the medicine to Elder Guhwang, who suspiciously took the honeyed potion and applied the hair-growing ointment to his head.

And then.

“My wish is….”

The moment he slowly expressed his wish.

“Ugh, ugh…!?”

Elder Guhwang grabbed his head.
