Chapter 188
Mad Demon, On an Ordinary Day
It had been two full years since King Sajo of the Great Yeon Empire, who had dreamed of unifying the realm, hanged himself in Hebei after suffering betrayal by his subordinates, desertion by his soldiers, and a string of defeats.
Yet Danwoo Castle and the Martial Alliance remained unchanged.
The only thing that changed was that the leader had a son.
Of course, he was the son of Danwooseong and Baekyak.
Like any child, he was precious, but being a descendant of the Snow Mountain Hundred Families made him especially so.
Even amidst his busy schedule, Danwooseong would often hold his son in his arms and gaze at his face for a long time.
It felt strange.
It was because he still felt like he had met a son he never expected to have. Danwooseong called his son’s name.
“Shin-woo.”
The young child grabbed hold of Dan Wooseong’s collar.
Dan Woo-sung smiled like a fool, then unconsciously measured the size of his son’s fist and carefully examined its shape.
‘I wonder if I’ll master martial arts well enough.’
Given the formidable masters around him, he had a very high chance of becoming the next generation’s greatest martial artist under heaven. These masters would naturally include Dan Woo-seong, Baek Yak, his maternal grandfather Baek Yi-gyeol, and Cheol Myeong-ho… among others.
Baek I-gyeol, who had unwittingly raised his only daughter with utmost care, had even established the Baekgeom Sect near the Martial Arts Alliance headquarters to watch over his grandson, the sole descendant of the Seolsan Baek Clan. It was all so he could check on his grandson as often as possible.
