Chapter 262  Return of the Mount Hua Sect- No, What Is With Those Bastards? (2)

“Kuak!”

Hyun Jong pressed his forehead as if it was in pain. And then he opened his eyes and yelled.

“Can’t raise your hands straight?”

Chung Myung gently raised the arm he was lowering.

Sadly, he was being punished to kneel in the corner and raise his arms inside the guest house.

“Yah, you bastard! You cannot hold back and made this accident!”

“No… it is because those idiots cursed Mount Hua!’

“Still!”

“Tch!’

“Acchhh!”

Hyun Jong grabbed the back of his neck and tried to relax when Hyun Young came and helped him.

“Are you alright, sect leader?”

“Kuak… my life seems to be shortening.”

Hyun Sang looked at Hyun Jong with a worried expression, but Hyun Yung who was watching it from the side, had a sad face.

“Your life must have increased a lot during the pill taking time, so it can reduce a bit, it is fine. Rather, do you want to starve the child? Even if you punish him, feed him right, Chung Myung, get up and eat!”

But Hyun Jong yelled.

“I am punishing him right now…!”

But Hyun Jong flinched and stopped. It was because Hyun Young was looking at him with blood red eyes.

That is… isn’t he going to eat me?

“Sect leader.’

“… Uh?”

Hyun Jong responded with a trembling tone.

“Did you forget? The sect was running out of food, and the memories of us hunting wild animals and digging up food on the mountain with the children?”

“… No, I didn’t forget it.”

“Do you know what kind of decision I made when Mount Hua, which I was proud of, had nothing to eat that we had to dig things up?”

“W-well?”

Hyun Young spoke with clenched feet.

“That when I earn money to feed them, I promised myself that I would never starve our children no matter how much money it costs.”

“… Yes.”

Hyun Young, who loosened the clenched teeth, looked back and smiled at Chung Myung.

“Chung Myung, go and eat. Come.”

“yes!”

Chung Myung jumped up and ran to the table full of meat. Seeing that, Hyun Jong touched his forehead in pain.

‘What sin did I do in my previous life…’

Is such a thing my sajae and that thing my disciple?

Taking a deep breath, he slowly turned his head and looked at Hyun Young and Chung Myung.

“Right… well, it is such a hard time…”

It was then.

“Elder! Can I bring them drinks?”

“yes! Yes! Eat whatever you want, and if you are going to eat, eat the best!”

“Kuak!”

“Good! Good! My brat!”

Hyun Jong closed his eyes tightly at those voices, he covered the ears but still could hear everything.

‘I should cut down my ears.’

Looking at something like this, the only thing left is that the life which he increased recently has to come down.

Hyun Jong looked at the people with a stiff face.

And he looked at one of them.

Seeing him with his lips turned purple, tears in eyes, Hyun Jong had nothing to say.

“… I apologize.”

“N-No.”

Cho Mal-Saeng who was beaten by Chung Myung spoke with a humble face.

And the other man, with the horse face, spoke with a bitter smile.

“Don’t worry sect leader. On the days we meet a strong sect, isn’t it it normal to have our necks taken down for talking wrong? We are thankful it ended like this.”

“Ugh… still…”

“This friend must have learned something from this. I always thought that one day the harsh things he said would come to bite him…”

Mun Pyeong glanced at Cho Mal-Saeng.

He, too, had nothing to say and just pouted.

“tch tch.”

Mun Pyeong clicked his tongue.

‘Right, I knew something like this would happen at some point.’

Above all, Kangho is a place where everyone had to be careful with their words. Those who speak recklessly will get their necks handed to them.

Since Mount Hua is a place which is known to be righteous and acclaimed as a sect, this end was amazing. If they met some other man, they would have been killed right away.

But, the surprising thing is…

Mun Pyeong slowly changed. He looked at Chung Myung sitting at a table and drinking alcohol.

‘Mount Hua’s Divine Dragon.’

He heard the rumors but didn’t expect it to be like this.

Actually, Cho Mal-Saeng sitting next to him is also a strong one despite his mouth, but even he got his ass handed to him.

Surprise attack?

‘No.’

There is nothing more ugly than saying a surprise attack. And when living in a world where there are warriors all around, it is basic to be read all the times.

Since Cho Mal-Saeng isn’t a person who doesn’t know that, it means that his skills are low.

‘The power of Mount Hua is more than I heard.’

Maybe Mount Hua will bring a storm to this competition.

‘it isn’t just Mount Hua’s Divine Dragon.’

He looked at all the disciples of Mount Hua who were eating meat, next to Chung Myung.

“Server! Bring more mat!”

“Dumplings too!”

“Alcohol too!”

When Baek Cheon looked wide eyed, the Baek disciples who asked for alcohol bowed their heads.

“There has to be someone who knows to hold back.”

“… sorry.”

“Don’t.”

“…”

The disciples were devouring the food.

Mun Pyeong smiled.

‘This is different from Mount Hua I thought…’

When it comes to Mount Hua, what did he think…

A sect with swordsman with high pride in their swords and weaker taoist compared to the Wudang. But now the Mount Hua he was seeing…

“They are like bandits.”

“Right. You… shut it!”

“…”

Cho Mal-Saeng who said it, pouted and went silent.

‘Right, they really do look like bandits.’

If they changed their robes, they would look like real bandits who came to rob this place.

If it weren’t for the plum blossom engraved on their swords, Mun Pyeong would have doubted if they were really from Mount Hua.

“Ahem.”

Mun Pyeong, who coughed, asked Hyun Jong.

“Then you are participating in the Worldly Murim Competition?”

“Yes. We sent that child to order the food in advance of us, but for something like this to happen during that short time… I have no excuses to say.”

When Hyun Jong didn’t know what to do, Mun Pyeong thought.

‘This man is naïve, he doesn’t fit the position he has.’

If he was a true sect leader he would have asked Cho Mal-Saeng to apologize or something more for ignoring his sect.

Instead, he punished Mount Hua’s Divine Dragon who condemned them instead of rewarding.

And he looks really apologetic to them.

‘A sect leader unlike the disciple…’

Mun Pyeong glanced at the disciples and smiled.

‘This is a completely different combination. I wonder what this sect will look like.’

And he lowered his posture.

“Sect leader. Although he committed a wrong, I want to apologize for the trouble we did. I apologize on behalf of this man too, so please understand us.”

“In a place where there is no one, how can you say you committed wrong? You were speaking your mind, that is no sin.”

“Whether I curse when you are here or when you are not, wouldn’t it be natural for me to be killed?”

“Um.”

Mun Pyeong smiled.

“In Kangho we are often called the Horse-Mouse Twi Guests. We are quite quick to hear about things around here, so let us know what you need about the spars and the competition in order for us to pay off our sins. We will do it.”

“I would greatly appreciate it.”

Mun Pyeong smiled brightly and said.

“If you allow it, we will leave,”

“You weren’t staying?”

“No. we just stopped by.”

Actually, they were planning to stay here, but they didn’t want to do it now. When Mun Pyeong glanced at it, Cho Mal-Saeng sighed and got up.

“I really apologize again, sect leader…”

“No, it really fine.”

“We will make sure to repay the favor.”

Cho Mal-Saeng who took a deep breath turned around with an awkward face and followed after Mun Pyeong.

“Kuak…”

When the situation was finally settled, Hyun Jong sighed and looked back at the elders.

“I am worried.”

“What do you mean?”

“We are already apologizing… I wonder if I can have free time in Mount Song.”

Hearing this, Hyun Young laughed.

“What can we do if he keeps doing this?”

“Uh?”

Hyun Young’s face softened a little.

“It is said that when a weak person causes an accident, it will be called an accident, but when a powerful person does something like this, it is called as law. What did they say? Wasn’t what they said arrogant?”

“Um.”

“Leave it alone. After we die, they will be the one leading Mount Hua. It isn’t a good thing to bow down.”

“… leave all this to Chung Myung?”

At Hyun Jong’s words, Hyun Young turned back.

“Ack!”

Chung Myung was stabbing Jo Gul with the chopsticks for aiming for his meat.

“… I think he should be restrained a bit.”

“Okay.”

Worried. So worried.

Contrary to Hyun Jong’s concerns, Mount Hua’s journey went smooth.

Of course, Chung Myung did something absurd in the middle but thanks to Baek Cheon and Hyun Young the situations were handled well.

A few days have passed.

The disciples of Mount Hua arrived at Mount Song on foot.

“Oh!”

“Mount Song!”

Each of the disciples of Mount Hua looked at it in admiration. Although it may be a famous one, Mount Song is worthy of being called as the most famous mountain in Kangho.

The reason is simple.

Because Shaolin sect is located there.

Thousand Years Shaolin.

The Buddhist sect called Shaolin sect which is located in the Shaoshi Peak of Mount Song, had many strong people.

It was natural for everyone to be filled with excitement as they came to visit Shaolin on their own ground.

“Can you feel something from the mountain?”

“All mountains are the same. What more can they look like?”

“No. Still, it feels different from Mount Hua.”

If Mount Hua is lofty and high, this looks soft and gentle. How should it be put? Like everything is warm?

That alone was enough to give the disciples of Mount Hua a different feeling.

Furthermore…

“Why are there so many people?”

“They don’t seem like warriors?”

The road to Shaosi peak was made up of a sea of people with incense burners in hands and merchants.

For the disciples who had always been accustomed to the silent path, this was different. And Yoon Jong asked.

“Elder. Does Mount Song normally have so many visitors?”

“Um. Well. It is my first time coming here too.”

The elders had done nothing special in Mount Hua either. They lived for the sake of the disciples. Realizing the status of Shaolin once again, the elders felt pressed down.

It was then.

“It isn’t usually like this. It is probably because of the competition that people have come.”

“Is that so?”

Yoon Jong looked back at Chung Myung, who answered.

“How do you know that?”

“… Uh. I’ve been living as a beggar once.”

“Why come here when you can get nothing from mountains?”

“I came here to eat.”

“…”

Chung Myung looked at the people going up and said.

“This should have been happening in Mount Hua in the past.”

“Um.”

The low voice he said it in, pierced the hearts of the disciples.

Baek Cheon who was calm, said.

“Sect leader.”

“Um?”

“After this competition is done, will Mount Hua be this crowded?”

Hyun Jong smiled brightly.

“Of course it will be.”

“Yes. Then…”

Chung Myung said out.

“let’s go and take a look at how great these elite sects are.”

The elders nodded their heads at the same time, a though flashed in their minds.

Of course, it is the first time for them to properly see a prestigious sect.

But

‘it is the first time for them too.’

To go against people like Chung Myung.

Thinking about it, the elders felt bad again.

“Let’s go!”

“Yes!”

The disciple of Mount Hua started to climb up with determined eyes.

‘Shaolin.’

Chung Myung, who was following behind, smiled.

‘The competition you think of is already done.’

This is going to be a competition exclusively for Mount Hua.

Because I will make it that way.
