Chapter 269: The Weight of a Borrowed Name-2
Miao A-ran glanced at Seon Woo-jin with a meaningful look and spoke.
“The problem now is that while an outsider, Lord Seonwoo, is mastering the Southern Cross Sword, there is no one among the insiders to inherit it. So… in my humble opinion, I thought this: If Lord Seonwoo were not an outsider, wouldn’t everything be resolved?”
Hearing her words, Jagae-chu and Yoo Hae-eung asked with puzzled expressions.
“Hm?”
“Master Seonwoo… isn’t an outsider?”
Seonwoo Jin closed his eyes tightly, looking troubled.
It was because she understood what she was saying.
Myo-a-ran continued speaking.
“The kindness Master Seonwoo has shown our Haenam Sect is so great that we should treat him as our sect’s benefactor and elder. Wouldn’t you agree?”
At that, Jagae-chu and Yoo Hae-eung’s faces gradually brightened, as if they had realized something.
“Well… that’s certainly true.”
“Hmm.”
Miao A-lan smiled faintly and continued.
“Therefore, if Master Sunwoo grants his permission, we will accept Confucius as a member of the Haenam Sect. Whether it be as a Guardian of the Law or a Public Officer, whatever the position may be.”
She spoke thus, then glanced meaningfully at Seonwoo Jin once more.
“Of course, if Master Kong could personally pass on the Haenam style to us, that would be the best outcome. After all, even if the Southern Cross Sword were taught to someone else, there’s no guarantee they could reach Master Kong’s level. Isn’t the Southern Cross Sword known as the most difficult technique to master among the Haenam School’s martial arts?”
