Yes. There was no doubt.
With that thought, all the questions that had plagued her were finally answered.
Why had they kept such a tight lid on their secret from outsiders, even from her, who had spent a month with them?
For a mere Wandering Martial Artists’ Group, why had there been such intense tension and such serious concern whenever a defector was mentioned?

All those questions now had answers.
In the last instance, while “junior sister-in-law” traditionally referred to one’s husband’s younger sister, it was clear to anyone that Namgung-woo and Namgung Sol were not blood relatives. Their surnames were even different. Publicly, they had used the aliases Nam-woo and Jeong Sol.
