Chapter 335
The Baengri Clan’s Unwanted Granddaughter
Special Side Story Chapter 5
* * *
In the military department annex, a small conversation could be heard from inside a room filled with various scents.
“I think the acting advisor was going to suggest that you become the Martial Alliance head.”

Baengri Yeon stared blankly, her teacup halfway to her lips.
“Who’d agreed to that? Is she crazy?”

“Why not? I think it’s fair for her to suggest it to you.”
“Consider my age.”
“But you defeated the Divine Demon.”
“I just got lucky.”

Amused, Jaegal Hwamu chuckled.
“In our profession, luck is also a skill.”
“Wait, I’m not even one of the strongest under the heavens.”
“There’s no rule saying you have to be one of the strongest under the heavens. And since you took down the Divine Demon, doesn’t that make you one of them?”

Baengri Yeon grabbed her head and leaned down on the table. Namgoong Ryuchung, who was sitting next to her, took a sip from his teacup and said, “Even so, both my master and my father are still around, so I don’t think it’s Miss Baengri’s turn just yet.”
Jaegal Hwamu looked at Namgoong Ryuchung curiously.

“Both the Baengri clan head and the Namgoong clan head declined.”
“They declined? Both my master and father?”
“What? When? I had no idea!” Baengri Yeon exclaimed.
“Maybe they didn’t tell you. I’m sure Deputy Namgoong was aware. I guess he really has lost his memory. Well, this is certainly interesting.”
Jaegal Hwamu couldn’t hide his curiosity and inspected Namgoong Ryuchung with keen eyes. Irritated, the latter looked back at Baengri Yeon.
“Is this man really trustworthy?”

“Your faith in me is irrelevant, Deputy Clan Head. Whether she believes in me or not is what matters,” Jaegal Hwamu replied.
“Hwamu, don’t provoke him unnecessarily,” Baengri Yeon intervened, sensing an attempt on Jaegal Hwamu’s part.
Jaegal Hwamu placed a hand on his chest and said, “I sincerely wish nothing but happiness for my savior, of course. But that doesn’t mean I have to suppress the joy I feel right now.”
“Try to.”
“Savior’s happiness?” Namgoong Ryuchung asked, raising an eyebrow.
“Ah, I suppose you wouldn’t remember.”

Namgoong Ryuchung stared at him coldly. Just as he was about to rise, a gentle hand patted the back of his—it was Baengri Yeon. Her movements didn’t contain any force. Her touch was soft and delicate like a butterfly’s wing yet warm enough to stop him from moving.
“I told you to stop. And Ryuchung, don’t fall for Hwamu’s provocations. Hwamu, you stop it too.”

Jaegal Hwamu shrugged and fanned himself. After de-escalating the situation, Baengri Yeon brought up the main topic again.
“So, do you have any guesses as to why he’s acting this way?”
Jaegal Hwamu flapped his fan in silence before picking up the wooden tablet that Baengri Yeon had placed on the table.
“Did you seal this?” he asked.

“Yes, just in case something like this happens to the next person who touches it.”
Jaegal Hwamu set the wooden tablet down and said, “Keep this in mind: While you two were away looking for this tablet, the demonic cult started moving again. I’m certain this wooden tablet was a trap.”
Baengri Yeon furrowed her brow.
“I noticed the cult’s movements and found them strange. It turns out they were trying to delay you with this tablet while they attempted something else,” Jaegal Hwamu explained.

“They got us this time.”
“Sorry. I should have looked into it more.”

Baengri Yeon shook her head. “The cult knows what I’m searching for. Even if it hadn’t been this time, we would have fallen for any trap they’d set.”
Jaegal Hwamu looked at her solemnly, then changed the subject.
“Based on the research logs of the Jaegal clan, there have been cases of people recalling their pasts. If we include those the Jaegal clan couldn’t find, that number would be quite high.”
“You didn’t mention that before.”
“It was important then. Even if they could recall their past, the memories would be hazy, like dreams, and easily forgotten. That’s why none of them could influence the present. You’re an extremely rare case.”
Baengri Yeon nodded.

Jaegal Hwamu continued, “So why do they recall, and why do they forget? If you truly went back in time, shouldn’t it make sense that you’d forget everything?”
Baengri Yeon began to grasp what he was implying. She had received his memories once before.
“Since memories are stored in the soul, even if the Divine Demon turned back time, the memories remained within the soul.”
“Precisely. And don’t you think that’s why the Divine Demon, despite repeatedly regressing, eventually gave up and moved on to the next generation?”
“Hmm.”
“The biggest issue probably stems from the will of the heavens. But my predecessors predicted that those who recall their pasts do so due to the overwhelming memories stored in their souls—like you, Yeon.”

Namgoong Ryuchung, who had been silent after the initial provocation, finally said, “So, you’re saying that I’m a past memory engraved in the soul?”
“Probably,” Jaegal Hwamu replied.

Namgoong Ryuchung fixed him with a cold stare. Jaegal Hwamu met his gaze and smiled slightly.
“Is there a way to bring back his current memories?” Baengri Yeon asked.
“Nothing off the top of my head. I have some theories, but I’m unsure if they can be verified. And even if they can, it might take time.”
Baengri Yeon sighed. Jaegal Hwamu looked at Namgoong Ryuchung.

“Either way, he seems cooperative, so what’s the big issue? He’s the same person, after all.”
“Are you serious?”
Baengri Yeon’s eyes darkened, prompting Jaegal Hwamu to back off slightly. He then continued speaking apologetically.
“I think he’ll recover in time, like with amnesia. Memories engraved in the soul are hard to erase. And if such a powerful, useful item existed, wouldn’t the Divine Demon have used it against you before?”

“That’s true,” Baengri Yeon replied.
Erasing one’s current memory and switching it to memories of the past with a single touch—if the Divine Demon had used it against me before I took him down…
Е̌ n u̇m̌ a . і̀d
“Exactly. The fact that he didn’t use it suggests a downside. Perhaps he couldn’t use it rather than his choosing not to—for whatever reason.”
“If that’s the case, recovery might be relatively easy.”
“Yes. You predicted the same thing, didn’t you?” Jaegal Hwamu asked, slightly amused.
Baengri Yeon fell silent before nodding. She had lost most of her knowledge regarding the Divine Demon’s martial arts, but she still remembered certain sensations. That was why she sensed Namgoong Ryuchung’s condition wouldn’t last long. If she hadn’t sensed that, she wouldn’t be this calm.
Jaegal Hwamu smiled brightly.
“But you couldn’t help but worry, could you? That’s why you came all the way to the Martial Alliance.”

The conversation with Jaegal Hwamu lasted for more than one shijin. However, it was filled with vague discussions and ended without a clear conclusion.
As soon as their talk ended, Namgoong Ryuchung shot up from his seat and left the room. Baengri Yeon thanked Jaegal Hwamu and quickly followed him.
“Ryuchung!”
Namgoong Ryuchung marched forward with a menacing stride but suddenly stopped and turned back, his expression twisted in anger.
“Are you sure he can be trusted? You said he was the one who told you about the wooden tablet in the first place.”
Е n̄ ům̆ а .і̂ d
“Yes, well, at least when it comes to the demonic cult.”
Namgoong Ryuchung simply stared at her.

“I heard the Jaegal clan head is still unmarried,” he said.
Baengri Yeon tilted her head in surprise but nodded.
“It’s true.”
Namgoong Ryuchung scoffed, an ironic smile forming on his lips.

“That guy definitely has feelings for you,” he said coldly. “I can’t believe he’d act like that toward someone who’s already married. And this guy just lets that bastard behave this way the whole time?”
Baengri Yeon knew that “this guy” referred to the Namgoong Ryuchung after the regression.
“This is the first time I’ve seen him since our wedding,” she replied. She rubbed her lips, pondering for a moment, then looked at Namgoong Ryuchung. “And even if Hwamu does like me, why are you so upset about it? You hate me anyway.”
Her tone was emotionless, as though she were merely stating facts.

Namgoong Ryuchung was left speechless. He shut his mouth, unable to form a response. Baengri Yeon waited for a moment, then walked past him, brushing his shoulder lightly.
“And you?”
Е ň u m a . і̊ d
Namgoong Ryuchung finally spoke. Instead of looking at him, Baengri Yeon gazed at the central gate leading to the inner area. Namgoong Ryuchung also sensed a commotion. Someone was rushing toward them.
As the figure approached and her face came into view, Baengri Yeon’s expression brightened with joy.
“Seo—”
But before Baengri Yeon could finish, Seo Haryeong walked briskly past them, raising her index finger to her lips in a gesture for silence. Without a word, she vanished into the building behind them.
“Huh?”
Namgoong Ryuchung frowned, just as confused as Baengri Yeon. The latter shook her head, indicating that she had no idea what was happening.

A moment later, they both began to understand. A handsome young man with a composed energy and a neat appearance appeared before them, breathless from his rushing about.
