Return of Mount Hua Sect - Chapter 198
“He will surely become the best man in the world in the future.”
“Yes.”
“Its abilities and potential are unparalleled in the world. He will surely be a warrior whose name is resounding in the world!”
“Yes!”
“And the world’s number one son of a bird…….”
“……Yes?”
Tang Zhan raised his head and looked at Tang Gun ak’s back. A slight tremor could be seen running down his back, where his hands were clasped behind it.
“Keheheum!”
Tang Gun ak let out a harsh cough that was completely soundless.
“……am I misinterpreting what you said?”
“Keuhum!”
Tang Gun ak, who coughed heavily, sighed and said.
“The value of the best man in the world is beyond your imagination. The best person title is sometimes a justification, sometimes a force, and sometimes a reason. There is a reason why all sects in the world spare no funds and efforts to produce the world’s best.”
“Yes, Gaju nim.”
“But of all things, such an important title to such a dog-like person…….”
“……Yes?”
“Oh, never mind.”
Tang Zhan pricked him behind the ear. Does it seem he has heard strange things since before?
Tang Gun ak clenches his jaw and grinds his teeth.
“If one can’t be the best in the world, one has to be friends with the best in the world.”
Tang Zhan cracked his eyes open just a little bit.
At first glance, it is true. But one thing is missing.
“But, Gaju nim.”
Tang Zhan asked in a slightly curious voice.
“Of course, there is no doubt about the ability of Mount Hua Divine Dragon. But his background as Mount Hua is disturbing to me. Even if he is the best person in the world, there’s a limit to what he can do alone, right?”
“Foolish!”
Tang Gun ak said firmly.
“It’s not worth the investment unless he’s from Mount Hua. Would he bother to be friends with us if he had enough power and money?”
“Oh….”
“Rather, we can reach out because the current Mount Hua is not as good as the past. We use him and he relies on us. Then it can be a perfect relationship.”
Tang Zhan nodded.
“Think about it! What if our Tang Family’s power is added to the power of the growing Mount Hua Divine Dragon?”
If so, it is truly the best in the world!
“The world’s greatest bastard will be born. D*mn it!”
“What?”
This time, Tang Gun ak didn’t change his words either.
“Robber-like bastard……. No matter how wrong I may have been, Chundokdan…. There are only a few left in the Tang family! Ugh!”
Tang Gun ak’s body trembles.
His shaking shoulder clearly showed how angry he was right now.
“Tang Zhan!”
Tang Gun ak turns his head around.
‘Uh…’
‘I think his eyes are a little red…….’
‘Don’t tell me.’
“Your brother will step down from his position as Sogaju.”
Tang Zhan opened his eyes wide.
“Ga-Gaju nim?”
“Think about it.”
“……what?”
“If you were Mount Hua Divine Dragon, would you want to join hands with the Tang Family, with Tang Pae as the head?”
“Ah!”
Tang Zhan nodded his head again and again.
That can’t be possible. Tang Pae is the person who secretly attacked Chung Myung in his duel. No punishment can relieve the anger of Mount Hua Divine Dragon.
“It’s not people that matter, it’s families. If the profit of making Mount Hua Divine Dragon become one of us is greater than the profit from making Tang Pae as head of family, choose Divine Dragon. That’s the law of the Tang Family.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
“And that little bastard can’t forget this…”
“…….”
The tremors returned to Tang Gun ak’s body.
Because this was the first time in Tang Zhan’s life that he had seen him in this state, he had no choice but to keep quiet.
At last, Tang Gun ak said.
“Sogaju’s seat is vacant.”
“…….”
“You’ll have to compete with your brothers.”
“I’ll try my best.”
“I’ll leave you with one task.”
Tang Zhan raised his head and looked at Tang Gun ak.
“Someone in our family needs to develop a friendship with Mount Hua Divine Dragon.”
“…….”
“In my view, Mount Hua Divine Dragon is a very generous man to his own people. If you could be his man, the Tang family will be able to achieve more than just a simple contractual relationship.”
“Gaju nim.”
Tang Zhan looked at Tang Gun ak with determined eyes.
“I’m not very interested in the position of Sogaju.”
“Hmm?”
“But!”
Tang Zhan said firmly.
“If it’s something that helps the family, of course I’ll do it.”
Tang Gun ak smiled.
“Right.”
With a slight pause, he added quietly.
“However.”
“……Yes?”
“Be careful.”
“…….”
“He’s no ordinary fellow.”
Tang Zhan seemed to see some moisture around Tang Gun ak’s eyes who turned his head slightly.
‘What?’
‘Are you crying?’
* * *
‘I must win the hearts of the Divine Dragons of Mount Hua!’
He shouldn’t just remain an acquaintance. He must be a close friend of Mount Hua Divine Dragon in some way.
First and foremost, you must get along with him!
With continual effort!
But…
Only one thing.
‘I don’t think that effort was anywhere near this….’
Tang Zhan exclaimed deeply.
“Hey, your hands are slacking.”
“…… I’m sorry.”
Tang Zhan regained consciousness and vigorously waved his hand.
The fan in his hand started to blow a cool breeze.
“It’s great. Tang Family is good at fanning.”
“…….”
‘I thought I told you I want to be friends.’
Isn’t this a stick?
“Well.”
Chung Myung, who was lying on a large, soft chair, rose briefly and whistled to pick up the fruit in front of him.
It is not only fruits.
The table in front of Chung Myung was piled high with various delicacies.
The essence of Sichuan cuisine, known as one of China’s four great delicacies, was transformed into art by using various rare ingredients.
Glug, glug, glug.
“Keuh!”
Chung Myung, who drank up to Sichuan’s white wine, hung on the chair.
“Great. Good, good! This is Mureungdowon.”
However, the opinions of the observers were completely different.
“…… it’s like a bandit.”
“A Taoist drinks alcohol and eats meat.”
“It’s nothing new, but it’s amazing.”
Mount Hua’s disciples shook their heads at Chung Myung.
“I’m crazy. To worry about him because there’s nothing to worry about.”
“No, what are you talking about? He’s so fine.”
“…not a person.”
Regardless of that, Chung Myung once again took a sip of white wine cheerfully, tore the duck’s leg apart and shoved it into his mouth.
“Kuh, Sasuk, Sahyung! Try some of this. It’s awesome. And this, this alcohol is really expensive. It’s just so sweet!”
“…….”
Baek Chun looked at Chung Myung with blank eyes.
‘Is this okay?’
Of course, even though they’re treating you, it’s strange not to receive it. It is not always appropriate to say no.
However, it is…
Baek Chun’s trembling gaze was drawn to Chung Myung lying on the chair.
‘My house…… No, it appears to be more comfortable than my house.’
Tang Zhan, the son of Tang Gun ak, is now fanning Chung Myung.
Is this making sense?
When Baek Chun looked at Tang Zhan, he blushed.
“Si- Sichuan Tang Family treats guests with great hospitality. Please don’t feel pressured and rest in peace.”
‘I’m under pressure because of you.’
‘What the hell are you doing there?’
However, contrary to everyone’s opinion, Chung Myung seemed to be very comfortable with the situation.
“Oh, that’sounds good.”
Unbearable, Baek Chun opened his mouth.
“Chung Myung ah.”
“This Mureungdowon…….”
“Chung Myung.”
“What?”
Chung Myung turns his head slightly.
Baek Chun presses down a vein on his forehead and tells Chung Myung.
“This is the Sichuan Tang Family.”
“Ah. I know, Sasuk. Of course I know about that.”
“……then at least sit down. No matter how wide the chair is, it’s not a place to lie down. If you’re at someone else’s house, at least be polite.”
“Oh, of course I’d love to.”
“Then?”
Chung Myung suddenly distorted his face and stroked the white bandage with his hand.
“But what can I do if I sit down and the wound opens again? I’ll stay like this until I get better.”
“…….”
Baek Chun shook his head as if there was no answer.
Yoon Jong sneaks up and tells Baek Chun.
“Do you want me to force him?”
It means to deal with injuries. But Baek Chun shook his head helplessly.
“Let it go, he’ll grow up.”
Of course, it’s more likely that the day won’t come.
Baek Chun sighs deeply.
‘I thought my heart was going to drop.’
Who would have thought he would be so lively in just three days? What phenomenal resilience.
“Tang Zhan Sohyup.”
“Yes, Baek Chun Sohyup.”
“Is Gaju nim not coming?”
“He is busy with official duties.”
“Is that so…….”
He doesn’t want to see Tang Gun ak’s face, but seeing what Chung Myung is doing makes him wish Tang Gun ak would show up sooner rather than later.
Did that heart make it to Heaven?
Bam!
The door to Daejeon unexpectedly opened. Tang Gun ak then entered slowly.
When he entered, he saw Chung Myung lying down and flinched slightly.
“…….”
None other than Tang Gun ak gave the order to treat the Mount Hua Divine Dragon well without lacking.
But this is…….
“……is there anything lacking in?”
“Yes, thanks to you. Oh, Sichuan cuisine is so delicious. Although it’s a little spicy and tingly.”
“Once you get used to it, it doesn’t taste any better.”
“Yes, so I’m going to try it until I get used to it.”
“…… that’s a good idea.”
The corners of Tang Gun ak’s mouth curled up vaguely.
His face was expressionless and his mouth was smiling. Everyone who was watching Tang Gun ak coughed small.
‘Are he laughing or angry?’
‘Isn’t it both?’
Either way, Tang Gun ak kept his eyes on Chung Myung.
“Is there any other inconvenience?”
“It’s a little uncomfortable because it’s humid and hotter than before.”
Chung Myung turned his head and Tang Zhan started fanning hard again.
“…….”
“…….”
Tang Zhan and Tang Gun ak’s eyes intersect in the air.
“… my son must have liked you.”
“I know. I didn’t ask him to do this. I’m very grateful.”
Chung Myung drank a lot of white wine with a completely ungrateful expression.
“Wow. The drinks are delicious, the food is delicious! This is a really nice place.”
“I guess so.”
Tang Gun ak smiled sincerely this time when he saw it.
In his eyes, he sees the restless disciples of Mount Hua. Perhaps they thought Chung Myung was being disrespectful.
‘They have no idea.’
They know very little about the Tangs.
In the Tang Family, a guest’s best courtesy is to eat and drink comfortably, as Chung Myung is now.
It may be considered impolite in other sects. But it’s the Tang Family’s best courtesy.
It is a phenomenon caused by the Tang Family’s history of using poison and assassination. Even the most daring person would be hesitant to eat and drink only from the Tang Family.
How many people would drink alcohol given to them by a poison user on the spur of the moment?
Even those who boasted about being able to cut iron walls in half abstained from drinking and eating in the Tang Family.
On the other hand, Chung Myung literally pours drinks, inhales food, and places the entire bottle of alcohol in his mouth.
‘I’m not sure if he’s doing it on purpose……’
Tang Gun ak, on the other hand, couldn’t help but feel better while watching it. That clearly demonstrated Chung Myung’s faith in the Tang Family.
‘He’s a weird guy.’
He made people feel good and then made them tremble. If they stay together, he doesn’t think Gandam will be safe. (간담)
“But what’s the matter?”
“……that.”
Tang Gun ak bit his lips. Originally, he was supposed to meet Mount Hua Divine Dragon a few days later, not today. At that time, he decided to close a separate deal between the two.
Nevertheless, there was another reason why he came to Chung Myung here.
“It’s…….”
Tang Gun ak kept glancing behind him, stretching his tongue.
He bit his lip with a terrifying expression and opened his mouth with a slightly suppressed voice.
“Nothing’s wrong! I’m just here!”
It was that moment.
Bam!
There was a knock back there.
And…
Peek.
“Huh?”
Something sticks out slightly by the open door.
‘Uh, that… … Is it a human head?’
“Yes.”
Tang Gun ak distorted his face and suddenly started staring at Chung Myung with a ghostly face.
‘What’s wrong with him?’
‘Scary.’
“Introduction… I have someone to introduce.”
“What? Introduction?”
“……when young people get along with each other, more than……. is there anything better…?”
“That’s true.”
“Why did it have to be you…….”
“What?”
“No. No.”
Tang Gun ak shook his head. Then he sighed deeply, unable to hide his irritated face.
“Come on in.”
At that moment, a person appeared through the wide open door.
“……Huh?”
“Uh…”
“Huh?”
“…….”
All of Mount Hua’s disciples opened their eyes wide.
Something surprising?
No, it’s not surprising, but it’s amazing…….
The first thing that caught their eye was fancy clothing. However, the eyes soon turned to the face above the clothes, and everyone who saw the face had no choice but to open their mouths.
‘What? It’s pretty.’
‘She’s an amazing beauty. Second only to Samae.’
‘Oh my God, was there such a person in the Tang Family?’
Yoon Jong, Baek Chun, and Jo Gol looked at the woman gently walking inside with blank eyes.
“Say hi.”
“I am Tang Soso (當小/小/당소소), greetings to heroes of Mount Hua.”
A face is only a face, but the bright smile shows no pretense. Who can hate someone who smiles so brightly?
“Uh…….”
Yoon Jong bows his head with a blank expression on his face.
“Oh, hello.”
Jo Gol poked Yoon Jong in the ribs with his elbow. Yoon Jong flinches and raises his head.
The reactions further distorted Tang Gun ak’s face.
“She’s my… daughter. It just so happens that you are all of similar age, so I thought that you all could become good friends… so I called her.”
But why are you grinding your teeth?
And…
“…Tang Family wear something like that in the house, don’t they?”
“It was the first time I met a close friend, so I’m nervous.. I must have paid attention…”
‘That is?’
‘If you pay attention to it twice, your neck will break. How many accessories do you have in your hair?’
‘Don’t tell me that’s all assasination tool?’
Tang Gun ak’s eyes are fixed on Chung Myung.
“That’s your……. No, she wanted to see you, so I brought her here to introduce you, so……. No. I hope we can have a good relationship. A good relationship.”
‘Huh?’
‘What?’
‘Don’t tell me…’
Chung Myung looked left and right. His Sahyung is all looking at Chung Myung with strange eyes.
“……huh?”
Is this political marriage or something?
“Me?”
Tang Gun ak nods his head.
“Oh, no, I…….”
It’s going bust. (도산데?)
“Uh…….”
“Greeting.”
Chung Myung smiles at Tang So-so, who smiles brightly at himself.
‘Sahyung.’
‘Cheon Mun Sahyung.’
‘Please help me!’
