Return of Mount Hua Sect - Chapter 365
Nam Jamyong stared coldly at Baek Chun.
“What exactly do you mean?”
“I inquired as to what you are doing right now.”
Nam Jamyong makes a sly grin at Baek Chun.
“Look, Dojang.”
“Yes.”
“Is there any reason for me to answer that?”
“…….”
The audacious response rendered Baek Chun speechless.
Nam Jamyong then smiled strangely and slowly opened his mouth.
“Hoho. Maybe it’s because Mount Hua Sect has only been in the mountains. They can’t tell the difference between when to step up and when to step down.”
Baek Chun’s eyes narrowed slightly.
“Does it mean that someone’s intervention in the unilateral use of force must also be considered in terms of qualifications and circumstances?”
“Is that possible? Of course, if you’re talking about the so-called Righteousness, it’s something you can’t ignore.”
“How can you say that?”
Nam Jamyong rolled up the corners of his mouth at Baek Chun’s words.
“Dojang is still young.”
“…….”
“Don’t Dojang know that what are you saying right now has a hidden meaning that I may be committing evil?”
“That…….”
Baek Chun closed his mouth.
“I’m Munju of West Moon Sect, a Southern Edge Sect subsidiary sect. How could I ever do something out of the way in the middle of Xian?”
Nam Jamyong’s eyes curved as thin as the moon.
“Or maybe…….”
Nam Jamyong smiles and looks at Mount Hua’s disciples.
“Mount Hua’s disciples say that I seem to be persecuting the civilians here? That’s very disappointing.”
Baek Chun bit his lips gently.
‘This guy…’
If he answers back here, he will give the Southern Edge Sect subsidiary sect in Xian a justification to openly antagonize Huayin Sect.
Because it might seem like they are labeling Nam Jamyong, a representative of Southern Edge Sect’s subsidiary sect in Xian, as a rascal who is committing violence in broad daylight.
So he has to be careful with every word he says…….
“But.”
‘Hiik!’
Baek Chun looked back in surprise.
Chung Myung was creeping forward with a sulky expression.
‘What are you doing?’
Baek Chun desperately winked at Yoon Jong and Jo-Gol, but the two were equally perplexed.
‘How can I stop him when he stares with such eyes?’
‘You still have to stop him!’
But before they could do anything about it, Nam Jamyong opened his mouth.
“Hoo, it’s an honor that Mount Hua Divine Dragon speak to me directly. Don’t you think this is something to brag about in future generations?”
It was an exaggerated sarcasm. Any person would have hardened their face immediately upon hearing this.
But Chung Myung’s response was nothing like he expected.
“Hehe. You don’t have to do that. It makes me shy.”
“…….”
Nam Jamyong looked blankly at Chung Myung.
‘Don’t you know sarcasm?’
No, it can’t be.
There can be a powerful idiot. But there is no such thing as an idiot with strong martial arts skills. In order to learn martial arts above a certain level, a high understanding must be accompanied by it.
The fact that Mount Hua Divine Dragon, who has a reputation for being strong is stupid, is no different from calling a scholar with a degreean idiot.
But…….
‘No, I think he really likes it?’
He double-checked the face of Mount Hua Divine Dragon, fearing that he might have been sarcastic.
But no matter how he looks at it, that’s not acting. If that expression of humility and pride is acting, even if he runs as an actor in an Opera Soap right away, he will drive the audience as if in a cloud.
“…hahaha.”
Isn’t he really incomprehensible?
Nam Jamyong coughed in vain and covered his face.
“Well, what are you curious about, Mount Hua Divine Dragon?”
“Well, I understand that there is no way that the good Southern Edge Sect’s subsidiary sect Munju would do anything against Righteousness. But you can tell us what’s going on right now.”
However, even though he had taken good care of his expression, his brow furrowed again.
“As I said earlier, is there any reason I should explain it to you?”
“There’s no reason not to explain.”
“Huh?”
Chung Myung shrugged.
“If it’s an honest thing, there’s nothing you can’t say, so I don’t know why you don’t want to say it. And…”
And as he spoke, he glanced around.
The people who had gathered little by little to watch it suddenly grew like a cloud.
“I don’t think we’re the only ones wondering what’s going on here.”
Nam Jamyong frowned at the words.
Everyone who had gathered looked at him and the one who had fallen on the floor, each with a trembling expression on their face. It was a situation where bad rumors could remain if it was roughly glossed over.
Normally, he wouldn’t care about that, but things aren’t good now. At this time, he shouldn’t throw a good role at those Mount Hua disciples.
Nam Jamyong hardened his mind and nodded at the man who was lying down.
“This man borrowed a lot of money from my West Moon Sect.”
“…money?”
At Nam Jamyong’s words, Baek Chun frowned unknowingly.
He thought there would be a great story, but the reason was too vulgar and blatant.
“So… you’re saying you’re asking for debt now?”
“That’s right.”
“…so violent? How can someone as big as West Moon Sect Munju persecute people for money like a bunch of black swordsmen?”
“Hahaha.”
But Nam Jamyong who is alone just laughed his head off.
Back Chun frowned at the blatant laugh.
“Why are you laughing?”
“Isn’t that funny?”
“What do you mean?”
Nam Jamyong’s face was full of a smirk.
“How can it not be funny when people who dare to come all the way to Xian to earn that little money and even demonstrate swordsmanship that other prestigious sects would never do in their dreams, talk like money is nothing?”
Baek Chun’s face turned slightly red at Nam Jamyong’s words.
Certainly, Nam Jamyong was right on that point.
“I don’t know how it will sound to the ears of Taoists who practice the Tao in high mountains, but money is a pretty big deal for those who live in the world. Of course, we have to be sensitive, right?”
Nam Jamyong’s slick remarks left Baek Chun biting his lips.
“But this is……!”
“Well, that’s true.”
Then Chung Myung interrupted Baek Chun and spoke in a simple tone.
“But I definitely think it’s a bit extreme for a person who came to get money. Unless West Moon Sect Munju were playing with money, you both wouldn’t want just a one or two-day acquaintance.”
“Hooh, you’re much sharper than you look.”
Nam Jamyong looks at Chung Myung with a distinct eye.
‘You’re a man who can’t be controlled.’
He looked stupid before, but now he’s getting the gist easily. He saved the trouble of beating around the bush.
“Of course, I know this guy very well. Wouldn’t that make it possible for me to lend him money?”
“But you’re being so cold-hearted, I guess he hasn’t paid you back for a long time.”
“No, he’s not.”
“What?”
Nam Jamyong shrugged.
“It’s been a while since he didn’t pay back the loan, but it wasn’t long enough to cut off my patience. I’m a much kinder person than you think.”
“Then why?”
“Why don’t you hear the reason from the man himself?”
Nam Jamyong pointed to the man who had fallen with his chin.
Yoo Iseol, who had already gone to his side, supported the fallen man. But his body was limp as if he had already lost his mind.
“Oh!”
And at that moment, an exclamation of astonishment erupted from Yoon Jong’s mouth.
“Why?”
“Tha- That guy…….”
Yoon Jong’s face, while raising his finger, is all distorted.
“……He came to enter his child to Huayin Sect.”
“Hm?”
Chung Myung and Baek Chun’s faces hardened at the same time.
It was immediately clear how things were going.
Baek Chun glared at Nam Jamyong with an angry face. Then he smiled calmly.
“Why? Will you blame me?
Nam Jamyong shook his head and said pitifully.
“Look, I’m not that hard-hearted either. That’s why I lent him grain and money. Don’t you think so?”
“…….”
“This is the man who broke the law.”
The cold eyes turned to the person.
“You owe us favor from us, Southern Edge Sect’s subsidiary sect, but you admitted your son to Mount Hua’s subsidiary sect. Even beasts know grace. Wasn’t this man’s actions even worse than those of beasts?”
Yoon Jong bit his lips and asked.
“So, how much money did he borrow?”
“Ho? Did Mount Hua going to pay the money back instead?”
Nam Jamyong chuckled as if he was having fun.
“Right. It wouldn’t be bad either. But would it be okay?”
His voice smeared with laughter.
“How many people in Xian do you think are in debt to Southern Edge Sect’s subsidiary sect?”
“…….”
“And how many people are likely to be indebted to Southern Edge Sect, not to the subsidiary sect? I’ve heard Mount Hua’s been touching some money lately, but can you handle it?”
“This…….”
“I am the representative of Southern Edge Sect’s subsidiary sect in Xian, and now I intend to collect their debts on behalf of Southern Edge Sect which is now going into Bongmun.”
“In this way?”
“What’s wrong with this method?”
Back Chun’s face hardened when the brazen response came back.
“If there is a financial problem, it is appropriate to go to the government office to solve it. How can a man who leads a subsidiary sect of Southern Edge Sect settle things in this way over national laws?”
“Hahahaha. That’s why people that only used to wipe in the mountains……”
“…What did you just say?”
Nam Jamyong stared at Baek Chun, and clicked his tongue out of pity.
“If they are taken to government offices, do you think it will end like this?”
“…….”
“The moment they are taken to government offices, they will be put to death and have to give up all their possessions. It seems that you have read many stories about Mokmin-gwan who put the people first in books, but the world is not so easy.”
He glanced down at the unconscious.
“If I’m wrong, he’ll run to Government as soon as he wakes up. But think again. Do you think he would?”
When Baek Chun angrily tried to step forward, Chung Myung lifted his hand and blocked him.
“Chung Myung-ah.”
Baek Chun called Chung Myung’s name in a low voice of anger. Instead of backing down, Chung Myung rolled up his lips and looked at Nam Jamyong.
“Do you think this will stop Huayin Sect?”
“Well, you never know.”
Nam Jamyong grinned.
“And don’t get me wrong. I’m not doing this just to stop Huayin Sect. I’m just arguing about people’s morals.”
“It is duty of the man.”
Chung Myung’s eyes narrowed.
“I don’t think that’s going to come out of the mouth of someone who does this.”
“Hoho. That’s your opinion. Doesn’t it differ from person to person?”
“That…….”
“No need to say. I’m not even close enough to talk to you like this in the first place.”
Nam Jamyong waved his hand as if he didn’t even know what to say anymore.
And just in time, he looked back at the person who came to his senses and gave a faint groan, he then spoke coldly.
“Joo-tae. I won’t talk much, so make sure you pay back everything you borrowed from West Moon Sect by tomorrow. If you can’t do that, you’ll get kicked.”
“…Mu- Munju-nim… please…”
“I won’t say it again.”
The man, called Joo-tae, wriggled his immobile body and begged, but Nam Jamyong only looked down at him coldly.
Then he said to Chung Myung’s group.
“I wish prosperity for Huayin Sect. This is my sincerity.”
With that last word, he chuckled and turned around.
Disciples of the West Moon Sect, who had been waiting for him nearby, followed to escort him. With their shoulders full of strength, the crowd rushed to open the way as they began to walk.
Baek Chun bit his lips.
“… That’s a shame.”
“Sasuk.”
“What?”
Jo-Gol approached with a worried face and said,
“This is no ordinary thing.”
“Huh?”
Everyone looked at his reaction, which seemed more serious than expected. Jo-Gol sighed heavily.
“People are basically afraid of martial artist. Nevertheless, there is only one reason why we can live together. This is because there is a belief that those who are disciples of the prestigious sect will never wave their fists at ordinary people without special circumstances.”
“… That’s right.”
“But now Southern Edge Sect’s subsidiary sect has crossed that line. If this happens, the people of Xian will soon be terrified. Originally, if you cross the line as a subsidiary sect, the main sect is supposed to solve it, but Southern Edge Sect is in Bongmun now, so it’s complicated.”
“… That’s right.”
Indeed this was no ordinary thing.
The most troubling thing is that money is involved in this. If it happens by force, it’s enough to solve it by force. However, power alone does not solve the problem of money.
‘I’ll have to discuss it with Elder for now.’
Determined, Baek Chun looked back at Chung Myung with a sudden sense of incongruity.
‘By the way… he’s strangely good at being patient just now.’
Normally, Nam Jamyong’s head would have been stabbed a hundred times before less than half of the conversation.
Strangely enough, Nam Jamyong walked back on his own two feet.
“Chung Myung-ah. What do you think…….”
“Sasuk.”
“……Huh?”
“Sasuk, take the kid first. I have a place to stop by.”
“Where are you going?”
“Wait at the Clothes Store. Go ahead.”
“Clothes Store? Why all of a sudden…….”
Chung Myung moved his feet quickly without answering the questions. Baek Chun’s face quickly turned pale.
“Hey, grab that one!”
In his cry, Mount Hua’s disciples pressed Chung Myung without asking or arguing. Chung Myung began to struggle violently.
“No! Let me go for a second! Why are you sticking to me when I say to go to the Clothes Store?”
“You’re trying to use that mask again! No, you punk! This isn’t something to be solved that way!”
“Is there any other way to solve it?! Let’s just go and throw him away! When the person causing the problem disappears, the problem goes away too!”
“Oh well, it’s never going to happen!”
Baek Chun jumped at the ferocious Chung Myung and hung on to him.
“If Southern Edge Sect’s subsidiary sect Munju collapse now, who would people suspect? No! No! This is absolutely not possible! Monk Hye Yeon! Don’t just look at us and please help!”
“…Yes?”
“Hurry!”
Hye Yeon, who was standing blankly, rushed in and pressed Chung Myung.
“Si- Siju. Calm down.”
“Grrrrr.”
Chung Myung made a beast-like sound and glared at Nam Jamyong, who had already gone far away. The sound of grinding teeth came out.
“Right, you’re gonna do it this way, huh?”
‘Come on.’
‘Let’s see the end.’
