Return of Mount Hua Sect - Chapter 413

“…… Isn’t that the Somunju-nim of the Eunha Merchant Guild who just entered?”

“I think so.”

“…How far is he going to grow his work?”

Baek Chun regarded the pavilion with trepidation.

Hwang Jong was present at the event where Chung Myung and Hyun Young led the Yuryrong Sect’s matter.

“Is he really going to do it right?”

“…I know right.”

“I don’t understand. Why are you nervous?”

Baek Chun’s face distorted when Yoo Iseol inquired.

“Of course, starting a new business in Mount Hua is welcome. It’s nothing to be concerned about.”

“That’s right.”

“The issue is that Chung Myung is in charge of the company. Did he ever finish what he started without making a fuss?”

Yoon Jong added with a serious face.

“And the damage usually fell on us.”

“That’s what I’m saying.”

Baek Chun glanced at the pavilion with an anxious look on his face.

“This time, it should end without a hitch.”

Baek Chun and Yoon Jong sighed at the same time.

“…the business potential is enough.”

Hwang Jong, who opened his mouth after much thought, looked solemnly at the map on the table.

“How can I put this…….”

Brilliant?

No, it’s not.

Being called brilliant wasn’t enough. Many Express Delivery companies are already squeezing their brains to reduce the time it takes to deliver items.

Many people acted out the phrase “time is money” with their bodies.

But…….

‘This is definitely an idea that no one else can do.’

Ordinary Express Delivery would never consider hiring disciples from a sect the size of the Yuryong Sect.

Martial artists are embarrassed to get involved in such trivial matters, regardless of money or profit.

They could at least bring it up because it was Chung Myung and Mount Hua.

It’s just…

‘It’s a question whether Somunju of the Yuryong Sect will understand this.’

Hwang Jong gave Du Yuncan a worried look. Du Yuncan, who had been silent for some time, spoke up.

“I……. Sodojang.”

“Yes?”

“No, it’s not that I didn’t understand, I understood, but…….”

“No, I don’t think you understand yet.”

“It’s not like that, I understood, but…….”

“No, I don’t think you understand.”

Hwang Jong’s face, which had been serious, was softened.

‘It’s not a matter of understanding or whatever.’

He forgot for a moment that Chung Myung was pushing for this. He’ll do anything with that monstrous drive.

“I fully understand. This is a big money business.”

“It’s not just that much.”

However, a little bit of support is needed.

Hwang Jong looked at Du Yuncan and said,

“I don’t think Somunju knows how much profit this will bring yet, but it’s worth more than the money Somunju thinks.”

“…Yes?”

“You must not take this as simply quick Express Delivery. How many disciples do you have at the Yuryong Sect? They cannot work like a regular messenger.”

Du Yuncan tilted his head.

“Then…….”

“If you are a business person, time is sometimes more important than money. When it comes to competing for money, there are times when you have to move things as soon as possible, even if it’s cost a thousand of gold.”

Jo-Gol, who was next to him, shook his head in agreement. Hwang Jong’s explanation was smooth.

“That’s who we’re going after. Those who want to move things quickly. Those who can afford to spend as much money as they want to reduce that time. And also….”

He paused and stroked his chin.

“Even those who want to show off that they can pay this much money to move things.”

“Huh? What do you mean by that?”

“Haha. This is a bit of a difficult story, so let’s move on.”

Hwang Jong smiled bitterly.

It would not be easy for them to understand the pride of those with only money. No matter how much he explains it, there is bound to be a limit.

“Anyway, hopefully, you can get ten times as much, or even a hundred times as much, for moving a single item. This is a huge work.”

“Ei. Not a hundred times.”

Then Chung Myung waved his hand as if it was too much.

“No, Sodojang. It’s really…….”

“Hahahaha. Hwang Jong Sodanju-nim exaggerated a bit. What do you mean a hundred times as much as moving a single thing? Hahahaha!”

“No, this is…….”

Hwang Jong quietly shut his mouth in the middle of his speech.

Chung Myung obviously smiled with his mouth, but his eyes were not smiling.

‘Ah…’

Only then did something flash across his mind.

If Yuryong Sect’s Somunju finds out that this makes a huge profit, he may suddenly change his mind and demand more money for them to receive.

‘… that’s already.’

A merchant, Chung Myung is already considering something he didn’t think of……. In a sense, it’s terrifying.

“Anyway!”

Chung Myung stretched out his hand and slammed the table.

“This will also be a big help to Yuryong Sect, too! Really!”

Then Du Yuncan, who was thinking hard, tilted his head.

“But I don’t understand at all.… If that’s so important, why don’t Express Delivery hire martial artists themselves to carry the goods?”

“How are you going to hire such a person?”

“…Yes?”

“It’s not like there are fast masters all over the road. If such a person were likely to be hired easily, they would have already been swept away those Express Delivery in the first place.”

In particular, a bizarre martial artist who only has quick Lighness Art and a little using others else are rarer. But it doesn’t have to be said.

“And it’s a problem if they hire such a person.”

At the words of Hwang Jong, Du Yuncan tilted his head and asked back.

“What else is that…”

“If you want to hire someone to move certain items, of course, it will be valuable and high-value. Or a very important document. But what if the person carrying the item steals it?”

“…… it’s going to be a disaster.”

“Yes. No matter how much the Government is mobilized, it is difficult to find a martial artist who has made up his mind to run away from this wide Jungwon, especially if he is the fastest and most agile person that has learned Lightness Art.”

Du Yuncan nodded unconsciously.

“So, it’s not just about being quick. There must be someone who takes responsibility for it. Even if the item is lost, for someone to compensate several times the amount, and if the person carrying the item causes a problem, for someone to chase the said person down to the end of hell!”

He doesn’t know about the former, but the latter certainly made sense.

‘This is killing me.’

Du Yuncan’s eyes are on Chung Myung. When he thought about how the smiling young gentleman looked like a while ago, he felt his spine cool.

“Ei. Would you do such a thing if you didn’t want to be destroyed?”

‘Look at him.’

Hwang Jong smiled and opened his mouth.

“The issue of compensation can be trusted in the name of Eunha Merchant Guild. It shouldn’t happen, but we have enough money to pay compensation in case something goes wrong.”

And Mount Hua adds to that capital.

It wasn’t once or twice that Mount Hua had its tongue sticking out trying to gauge the money they earned from the tea trade with businesses. Perhaps Mount Hua would be Shaanxi’s greatest Express Delivery in less than a decade.

“Above all, there is trust that has long been built up with high-ranking officials and big factions of Jungwon. If we start a business under our name, everyone will trust us and leave their goods to us.”

‘Then just agree, please.’

‘Come over here, man! We’re going to make a lot of money.’

Hwang Jong’s eyes began to fill with desire.

This is a project that has never been properly pioneered among other merchants and Express Delivery. If this could be used well, money and the reputation of being the best transportation company in Jungwon would follow.

Knowing how much money and fame this would give, Hwang Jong had no choice but to shake his butt.

“But…….”

However, contrary to his expectations, Du Yuncan’s response was lukewarm.

“I really did understand. That this is a great opportunity. But…….”

Far from moving on, Du Yuncan’s eyes were more determined than ever.

“I’m sorry, but I have to refuse.”

“… Somunju-nim?”

Du Yuncan shook his head at Hwang Jong who questioned his ears.

“I’m a man who has decided to devote my whole life to rebuilding Yuryong Sect. Money doesn’t matter to the Yuryong Sect now. The important thing is that the Yuryong Sect will regain its status as it did in the past. In order to do that, martial art is more important than anything else. I think you will understand what I mean if you are a martial artist.”

Du Yuncan, who thought he had delivered his meaning politely and firmly, looked at Chung Myung with a proud and bright face.

But the return response was far from Du Yuncan’s expectations.

“What?”

“…….”

“No, is this man dreaming now?”

“Chung Myung-ah. It’s an outsider.”

“But he’s dreaming right now.”

“That’s true, though.”

Hyun Young burst out laughing as if he was dumbfounded as he thought.

Chung Myung looked at Du Yuncan while clicking his tongue and said,

“Ahjussi. No, Somunju-nim.”

“…Yes?”

“Does a martial artist live by digging in the soil?”

“…….”

‘No, they’re not. They’re also eating food.’

“Ahjussi, have you been to Shaolin?”

“I- I haven’t been there.”

“Even the most successful sect in the world, Shaolin, starts the day by waking up from the morning breeze, sweeping the seats for tourists, and setting up a place for them to pray. Do you study martial arts harder than the Shaolin’s disciples?”

“…….”

“Ahjussi, listen carefully.”

“Yes?”

“Sect need money to grow.”

“…….”

“Is there just one or two sects who had direct line inheritance of martial arts (일인전승(一人傳承)) or a mysterious sect (신비지문(神祕之門)) in Jungwon? Are there just one or two sects that come out of their hiding and make a reputation? Do you know why those sects come up and disappear without a name?” ()

“……I don’t know.”

“It’s because they don’t have money.”

“…….”

Du Yuncan’s eyes shook violently. It was a logic that he had never heard in his life.

“No. You’re right. They didn’t have the desire to build and thrive in their sect like the Shaolin. But it was said that they only practiced their martial art under the waterfall so that no matter how strong they were, they didn’t want to eat nothing but the roots of a tree!”

Chung Myung’s strong logical argument shook Du Yuncan’s heart from the roots instantly.

Chung Myung’s voice became stronger and stronger.

“Money! First of all, money! For the Yuryong Sect to be successful, shouldn’t you make an appearance in the world? Think about it. The next-door sect buys meat for three meals daily, but the Yuryong Sect only eats grassroots. In that situation, who will enter Yuryong Sect? Even I wouldn’t go!”

Hyun Young nodded with a smile on his face as if it was a touching speech.

Chung Myung stared seriously at Du Yuncan.

“You said you wanted to revive the Yuryong Sect?”

“Y- Yes, I am.”

“With what are you going to revive it?”

“…….”

“Do you think that revival will be achieved if the martial arts become stronger? Who knows that? If the rumors about the Yuryong Sect are very fast, do you think someone will come and pray to enter there?”

Du Yuncan shook his head like a honeyed mute.

“First of all, let’s have a grand opening! Ho? It is expensive land in a big city and you’ll need to build a pavilion! Ho? A signboard with Yuryong Sect names on it! Put it all together like that, and baam! Everything will be set in stone!”

Chung Myung’s eyes have been strangely twitching since earlier.

“If you want to revive the sect, you must make money. Money! Doesn’t a sect without money end up being a small and medium-sized sect no matter what they do?”

“…….”

“If you know how much money the Ten Great Sect are making, you will die. Why can they only learn martial arts from morning to night in a mountainous area? It’s because they’re rich! They have many mouths to fill, but didn’t they feed them easily!”

“……tha- that’s true, but…….”

“Repeat after me, sect is all about money!”

“Wha- Se- Sect is all about money!”

“Do you know why Mount Hua is so popular these days?”

“… because you guys are making a lot of money?”

“Now you know!”

At that moment, Chung Myung shook his head with a satisfied face. But Du Yuncan, who had been tormented for a long time by the nagging that was about to burst his eardrums, lost his mind.

But he understands one thing for sure.

‘It’s money.’

Of course, it’s not that he hasn’t thought about it very much. Yuryong Sect was also in a much tighter position compared to the past.

It was a moment when I was thinking about how to feed the Mundos and put them to sleep.

However, the order that was taken for granted was completely reversed.

‘You’re not rich because you’re strong, you’re strong because you’re rich.’

Come to think of it.

How can those who don’t have the money to put food in their mouths right now devote themselves to studying martial art all day?

These were words that went beyond his heart and touched his bones.

They would have suspected it if other sects had made such a proposal. But this is none other than Mount Hua. Why would Mount Hua, who is now in the best momentum and won against that Myriad Man House, try to scam a mere Yuryong Sect?

“Ca- Can I ask you one more question?”

“As much as you want.”

“…if we decide to do this, can we really make a lot of money and revitalize the sect?”

Chung Myung grinned and reached for Du Yuncan’s shoulder.

“Somunju-nim.”

“Yes?”

“From who do you have to learn how to fish for the first time?”

“That…… from a fisherman.”

“Have you ever heard of the name of Mount Hua five years ago?”

“……None.”

“What about now?”

“That’s…….”

The whole world is talking about Mount Hua.

“Right? We’re the experts.”

“…….”

Du Yuncan had never in his life heard a word that inspired trust so strongly.

“We’re completely on the bottom at that time! Huh? No. It’s not even ground, we’re a sect that climbed up from that underground gutter!”

“……Chung Myung-ah. The gutter is a bit too much.”

“Just trust and leave it to me. I’ll let the whole world hear the name of the Yuryong Sect! I really don’t do this to anyone!”

That word was the final blow.

“If you just do that, my answer will inevitably be different.”

“That’s right, that’s right. Now, let’s make a decision here. Elder?”

“Here you go, The Sect Leader Degree. I just have to stamp it here, right?”

“Great! As expected!”

In a blink of an eye, the document was completed, finalized, and stamped.

Du Yuncan, who finished his decision on a whim, nodded his head with a slightly bewildered face. But for a moment, he was full of motivation.

‘It’s a good opportunity.’

Regardless of everything else, it is clear that this “Mount Hua” is a “sect” that has done what he wanted most. Even if they can’t get a lot of money from this, they can learn the tricks from them, but it’s still a business… ….

“Chung Myung-ah.”

At that time, Hyun Jong, who was just watching the situation, opened his mouth with a slightly anxious look.

“Yes?”

“… You’re not cheating, are you?”

“Ei. Me? No way. Hehe.”

Chung Myung smiled softly and scratched the back of his head.

At that moment, Du Yuncan’s face began to crease subtly.

‘Really…Can I believe him?’

Unfortunately, however, the decision had already been taken.
