Chapter 205
The Baengri Clan’s Unwanted Granddaughter
Chapter 205
The White Tiger Squad deputy head frowned slightly and said, “Are they here to greet us?”
Baengri Euigang gazed at the approaching men in an upright stance. “I think so.”
“Didn’t we contact them to let them know that Cheon Guijo is dead?”
W е́ bnòv̄е̄ l Е̌núm̂ а̌
“We did.”
There was no reason for them to greet Baengri Euigang’s group and cause such a scene.

The people moved to the edge of the street at the sudden appearance of the cavalry.
“Oh, my!”
“Oof!”
Some people bumped into each other or tripped as they rushed to get out of the street. But none of them could yell or shout angrily at the cavalry and only glared at them disapprovingly as they passed.

In an instant, the warriors were in front of Baengri Euigang’s group and got off their horses. The horses neighed and nodded as they caught their breath from the galloping. The White Tiger Squad guards also dismounted. Despite their best efforts to hide their feelings, bitterness could be seen on the faces of some of the guards. A young guard gave a martial salute behind a man who merely lifted his head and stroked his beard.
“Congratulations on your safe return.”
Baengri Euigang returned a martial salute and said to the man stroking his beard, “I didn’t think the deputy head of the Byeok clan would come to greet us.”
“I’m here to greet the Martial Alliance members who had to endure hardships.”

Next to the deputy clan head of the Byeok clan was his son Byeok Seongyul. When they encountered Cheon Guijo, he was still a boy who was part of the Kirin Group, but now he was a young man in his twenties. Byeok Seongyul couldn’t make eye contact with Baengri Euigang and looked away.
That was when the deputy clan head Byeok asked, “Is Deputy Namgoong not with you?”
W̌е b n ǒ v̆ ėl̂_ Е́ n̄ û m̄_а
“I thought we already contacted you about that.”
They had informed the Martial Alliance that Namgoong Wan would stay in Akyang, and only the White Tiger Squad would come. No matter how fast they traveled, the carrier pigeon would have arrived at the Alliance first.
“I did hear of it, but I just wanted to check. I heard Deputy Namgoong was gravely injured.”
Such information was not included in the letter sent with the carrier pigeon.
Baengri Euigang stared at deputy clan head Byeok and said, “If you know that he’s been gravely injured, then surely you must know that he’s in no shape to come with us.”
Deputy clan head Byeok trembled slightly and said, “I-I was just asking because I’m concerned.”

What he said didn’t add up at all.
“The next time I see him, I’ll be sure to tell him that deputy clan head Byeok sent his condolences,” Baengri Euigang said serenely.
That was when deputy clan head Byeok raised his voice and said, “Ahem, I heard his injury was serious enough that he’ll no longer be able to wield a sword.”
Onlookers who had gathered at the scene gasped and murmured. Words like Deputy Namgoong, sword, and injury were heard. It was a completely backward action from the efforts made until now to keep rumors of the Martial Alliance’s weakened state at bay. This should have been discussed privately, yet here he was, shouting it for the world to hear.
The White Tiger Squad’s deputy head suppressed his anger and said, “You don’t need to worry about that at all, deputy clan head Byeok. Deputy Namgoong has recovered completely!”
He expected deputy clan head Byeok to be shocked, but the latter refuted like he was waiting for this moment instead.

“How mysterious. If only the rest could have been treated the same way. It seems like Deputy Namgoong was the only lucky one.”
Realizing his words were getting twisted, the White Tiger Squad deputy head narrowed his eyes.

The people in the crowd said, “Of course, of course,” and “Phew, that’s a relief.”
Deputy clan head Byeok looked around triumphantly and asked again, “Where is the Cheonsan Flame Lord’s disciple?”
This time, Baengri Euigang responded immediately, “Are you referring to Yayul?”
“Yes.”
W̃еb no v̄ е l̆ E_ń um̀ а̊
“Why are you looking for him?”
“As his kin, should I not be concerned for my relative?” Deputy clan head Byeok snapped at Baengri Euigang as though the latter was strange.
“I’ve never heard anything about the Byeok clan looking for Yayul until now.”
“What’s it to you? You act like you’re his guardian.”

“The Byeok clan doesn’t even know who Yayul’s father is, and from what I know, no one from the Byeok clan has even heard about him.”
Deputy clan head Byeok coughed dryly and said shamelessly, “Ahem, that’s family affairs.”
W̆е̃ b n̊о v е̌_ĺ Е n_um а
He then mumbled rather loudly, “Why are you so keen on prying into another family’s business? It’s not like you’ve told us who your daughter’s mother is, either.”
“That’s crossing the line!” one of the Baengri clan guards shouted angrily.
Deputy clan head Byeok stroked his beard and shamelessly lifted his chin but flinched and backed off when he made eye contact with Baengri Euigang.
“Are you here to greet us or interrogate us?” the White Tiger Squad deputy head asked coldly.
The people who had gathered around also started to rebuke and criticize the Martial Alliance warriors.
“Exactly. If they are going to treat them that way, why bother coming out here in the first place?”

“What’s wrong with them? They rushed here like it was some sort of emergency, causing trouble for everyone else. If they’re going to act like this, they should have never come!”
Deputy clan head Byeok’s face changed color due to anger. That was when Baengri Euigang suddenly looked up to the sky. When everyone followed his gaze, they saw a bird circling above him. Baengri Euigang stretched out his hand, and the bird slowly descended toward him.
Deputy clan head Byeok frowned and asked, “What is that?”
“Can’t you tell? It’s a carrier pigeon,” the Baengri clan guard responded callously.
“You think I don’t know that? I’m asking where it came from.”
“What’s it to you?”
Е̂nu̇ m̊a . i̊_ḋ
“Who are you to think you can be so rude to me?!”
As the argument between the Baengri clan guard and deputy clan head Byeok began to heat up, the White Tiger Squad deputy head intervened.

“That’s enough, both of you. It’s a carrier pigeon from the White Tiger Squad head’s clan.”
Deputy clan head Byeok furrowed his brows for a moment. Baengri Euigang’s expression hardened after reading the letter attached to the carrier pigeon.
Perplexed, the White Tiger Squad deputy head asked, “Group Head?”
Baengri Euigang stared at deputy clan head Byeok and said, “Don’t you have something to say to me?”
Еṅů m̆а
“That’s something I should be saying to you.”
Deputy clan head Byeok motioned with his hand, and the Martial Alliance warriors behind him all drew their swords. The shocked crowd soon fled. The Baengri clan’s guards and White Tiger Squad members were also shocked. They too drew their swords.
“What are you doing?!” the White Tiger Squad deputy head shouted.
“There has been word that the Baengri clan has secretly been in contact with the demonic cult,” deputy clan head Byeok said.

Shouts soon followed.
“That’s preposterous!”

“Trust me, we don’t want to do this either. White Tiger Squad hea— No, I guess you’re no longer the group head. You’ve already been stripped of your title, so I guess you’re the former group head. Deputy head, it is not us to whom you should point your swords!”
The White Tiger Squad deputy head gritted his teeth. “Who thinks they can just kick out the Group Head? I don’t know where you heard such a ridiculous rumor. Was it the Alliance head? Is the Alliance trying to suppress the Group Head right now?”
“Considering his previous achievements, we won’t mistreat him. You can make a case for yourself back at the Alliance.”
That was when a White Tiger Squad guard shouted toward the neat-looking man behind deputy clan head Byeok, “Young Master Byeok! Explain this situation to us. Considering what the Group Head has done for you, surely you wouldn’t say anything nonsensical!”
Byeok Seongyul flinched and avoided eye contact.
Deputy clan head Byeok stepped forward and shouted, “Don’t bring him into this! I shall explain! Baengri Euigang! You and your clan agreed to participate in the Alliance meeting, yet you broke your word and went back midway. Why was that?”

Despite deputy clan head Byeok’s cantankerous behavior, Baengri Euigang remained calm.
“Something had happened back at the clan. It was necessary.”
Deputy clan head Byeok glared at him, almost as if to challenge just how long he could remain calm, and shouted, “And what exactly had happened to your clan?”
“Weren’t you the one who just said not to meddle in another family’s affairs?”
Deputy clan head Byeok seemed to be momentarily at a loss for words. The crowd had backed off, but the people still gathered around began to nod and murmur.
Deputy clan head Byeok clenched his teeth and shouted, “Hmph, it’s no use playing dumb! It has already all been revealed! Your sister was in cahoots with the demonic cult!”
Ẃӗ b̈ nо̆v̊el̇ Еn u m а
The Baengri clan guards flinched in surprise. Even they didn’t know the exact story. What they knew was that right before they left to rescue Namgoong Wan, there was a big commotion within the Baengri clan, and Baengri Euiran was sent off somewhere afterward.
“And only the Baengri clan managed to evade the demonic cult’s ambush! Quite an incredible coincidence, don’t you think?! An insider within the Baengri clan, and the only clan not attacked!”

The Baengri clan guard belatedly came back to his senses and shouted, “You’re accusing the Baengri clan based off of just that?!”
“Hmph! Then how about this? Yayul, Cheonsan Flame Lord’s disciple whom you vouched for, learned the Vampiric Demonic Technique!”
The Baengri clan guards and the White Tiger Squad members became shocked and stared.
“Young Master Yayul learned the Vampiric Demonic Technique?”
Ѐn ŭ m̊а. іd̄
“Precisely! Cheon Guijo was a demonic villain who learned the Vampiric Demonic Technique. I bet Yayul learned the technique from him!”
No one said a word.
“And Cheon Guijo, who was finally caught, suddenly just died. Are you going to say that his death was just a coincidence as well?!”
At that moment, amidst the murmuring crowd, one person’s voice was loud and clear. It was a roper that had been planted among the crowd.

“It certainly is strange. If he’s innocent, then there shouldn’t be any problem even if he goes to the Alliance!”
The White Tiger Squad deputy head gritted his teeth. To think they would be framed like this—it was a preposterous accusation. This was deputy clan head Byeok’s plan all along—to acquire public opinion and justification. If Baengri Euigang’s group were to leave now, the rumors would spread like wildfire. And if they were to enter the Martial Alliance, the Baengri clan would not be able to move freely—not while one of their own was being held captive.

The White Tiger Squad deputy head looked at Baengri Euigang.
