Return of Mount Hua Sect - Chapter 553

Jjuk.

“…….”

Jjuk.

“…….”

Jjuk.

“That….”

Hyun Young, who couldn’t stand it anymore, frowned disapprovingly.

“You’re going to lose your neck, really!”

In response to that scolding, Hyun Jong, sticking his neck out of the window, slipped his head back into place.

“Keuhum!”

Coughing awkwardly as if he were embarrassed, he peeked into Hyun Young and Hyun Sang’s eyes. There was a moment of silence.

“That…….”

However, Hyun Jong opened his mouth as if he couldn’t stand it.

“Don’t you think it’s too late?”

“… The North Sea isn’t next door place. How can they arrive already?”

“W- Well, the kids have been to Yunnan and Sichuan like their own house….. Isn’t taking so long means something’s going on?”

“Why do you keep talking nonsense like a cheater!”

“Ughh.”

Hyun Jong grabbed the teacup with his trembling hands. Usually, he who is into the tea ceremony wouldn’t pay attention to the cold tea, but now he was drinking the cold tea as if he was out of his mind.

“Tha- That! It’s going into your nose! Your nose!”

Hyun Young looked at Hyun Jong with a frown.

Until a while ago, he had maintained his sanity, but after a few days, he kept saying that the children were late and ended up at this point.

Hyun Jong, who spilt almost half of the tea because of his sluggish hands, shook his eyes uncharacteristically as an ascetic.

“A-Aren’t you worried?”

“What is there to worry about?”

But Hyun Young just snorted and said with a laugh.

“Mount Hua Sect will be ruined anyway if anything goes wrong with them. It’s enough if we chase them, set them on fire, then die.”

“…….”

‘This lunatic….’

‘Anyway, that guy is scarier.’

At that time, Hyun Sang, who had been listening to the conversation between the two, coughed loudly and opened his mouth.

“Don’t worry too much. They’ll be back without any incident. Our children are not so weak…….”

“That that, what a carefree attitude!”

“Sahyung, please stay put! Ugh, what do you know!”

“…….”

‘No, these yangbans?’

“Hngg.”

Hyun Jong, who groaned, eventually rubbed his face with both hands, regardless of his expression.

“My insides are not really an insides. Now I understand what it means to rot inside.”

“I’m glad there’s still some left to rot.”

Hyun Young grumbled. However, there was a subtle worry in his eyes. ‘Isn’t it time for them to come back?’

As he had calculated, they should have returned seven weeks at the latest when they left for the North Sea for the first time. There was no way that Chung Myung would allow them to waste time on the road, so it was clear that they were delayed in the North Sea Ice Clan.

“One in ten thousand…”

Hyun Sang peeked at the two and opened his mouth. And he spoke slowly, hesitantly, as if he was worried.

“I mean, just one in ten thousand chances…….”

“Hurry up! Hurry up and just tell us !”

“Don’t waste our time! Oh, I’m going to die of frustration, really!”

“…….”

‘Is it okay for people who have been cultivating for the longest time in Mount Hua to do this?’

Thinking seriously about it, Hyun Sang continued.

“I mean, if the kids got hurt by any chance….”

“Could you just dump that snout away!”

“Is this man really out of his mind? How dare you say such a thing!”

‘Hyun Young-ah…….I’m your Sahyung…….’

‘No matter how old we are…….’

A sigh escaped Hyun Jong’s mouth, which might have been several times already.

“Keuhh. At this rate, I will die first.”

“Don’t make it obvious, Sect Leader. When Sect Leader is anxious, the children are also anxious.”

“Right, I should.”

“And don’t sneak out in the middle of the night and sneak your way up. The kids know that!”

“…I- Is that so?”

Hyun Jong muttered awkwardly at Hyun Young’s rebuke.

“I said I’d be careful…..”

“They’re not like they used to be! Deceiving children’s attention must have been an easy job in the past, but now, don’t all the children look like ghosts?”

“…… That’s right.”

Children in the White Plum Dormitory have grown by leaps and bounds compared to the past.

Each day, the children developed differently, combining the elixir that Chung Myung had obtained and Un Gum’s guidance, which laid the foundation again from the beginning.

“Our precious disciples are not the only ones who went to the North Sea, right? It will be a good story to show how much Sect Leader cares about the disciples in a day or two, but if it gets longer, they will be disappointed.”

“Ughh, I understand. I’ll control myself.”

After receiving Hyun Jong’s promise, Hyun Young sighed softly.

“They say you become a child when you get older.”

What kind of character was Hyun Jong? His patients are not something anyone dares to follow. He was the one who led Mount Hua silently without showing any signs of difficulty, even when Mount Hua was having such a hard time.

But now, he was like a restless child. Of course, it wasn’t something he couldn’t understand, but someone had to stop him even by saying something bitter.

Hyun Jong coughed awkwardly and looked out of the window, nodding his head still. His eyes were calmer.

“Right, even if I think of the children, I must stay calm…..”

“Sect Leader! Sect Leadeeeer!”

At that moment, a loud voice began to be heard outside.

“Huh? What!”

Hyun Jong, who sensed something, jumped up from his seat.

“Hyu- Hyun Young…….Huh?”

Looking for Hyun Young in a hurry, he opened his eyes wide. Hyun Young, who had already kicked his seat out, grabbed Unam by the collar.

‘He told me to calm down.’

“What is it! Are the kids here? The kids are?”

“Ca- Carrier pigeon flying from below! It said to gather all the children and come down!”

“W- Who?”

“Chu- Chung Myung…….”

“Hahahahahahat! Chung Myung is here! What a noble fellow he is to say something like this to his superiors! Telling us to come and go! There he goes! That’s how Chung Myung is!

Hahahahat!”

At that moment, Hyun Jong, who burst out of the room like a thunderbolt, put on his shoes and ran towards the gate.

“Sect Leader! Sect Leader! He told us to bring the kids!”

“O- Oops!”

Fortunately, however, there was no need to delay time. Perhaps he had already heard the news, Un Gum was running toward them, leading the disciples like a cloud.

“Sect Leader! Did you hear the news?”

“Y- Yes! Let’s go! Let’s receive them well!”

Hyun Jong, who had been stomping his feet, answered quickly and ran towards the gate.

“Follow Sect Leader!”

Hyun Young also grabbed the uniform that was tilted back and quickly ran out.

“Baek Cheon Sahyung has arrived!”

“Yoon Jong Sahyung is here too!”

“Chung Myung has returned.”

“Ah, that little…….”

Both the second and third-class followed happily. Their Sahyung, who were like family, went all the way to the North Sea and finally returned.

Hyun Sang laughed as he saw people passing through the gate, shouting as if they were fighting a war.

‘Would it be nice to go there?’

It is not a behaviour that Sect Leader of a sect should do, and it is not an action an Elder of a sect would show. But he did not feel the slightest desire to reprimand them.

Hyun Sang smiled and began to descend the mountain with his hands behind his back. However, unlike his relaxed posture, his legs were moving at a terrifying speed.

“Euryaaaaaaaat!”

“Y- You will fall, Sahyung!”

“This is nothing!”

The mountain of Mount Hua is as steep as ever. It was so steep that even those who prided themselves on climbing it could easily fall, and there were numerous cliffs that they could not even step on.

And now Mount Hua’s disciples were running down the rugged Mount Hua like flat land.

They practiced climbing cliffs when bored, and now they hit the flying squirrels on the cheek.

But they realized something new today. There was a real flying squirrel in front of their eyes.

The past of comparing themselves to flying squirrels was embarrassing.

“Get out of the way, you punks!”

There was no hesitation at Hyun Young’s feet running along the cliff.

“……Wow.”

“Oh my gosh.”

Everyone opened their mouths wide as they saw the Elder shooting downward with their eyebrows fluttering.

“N- No, Elder didn’t even practice climbing cliffs.”

“Isn’t that obvious? Elder and Sect Leader has lived in Mount Hua alone for over half a century.”

“Ah, right.”

The Elders and disciples came down the mountain instantly, walking ahead and behind. In the eyes of Mount Hua’s disciples who raced along the mountain road to Huayin, they finally saw a large cart standing at the entrance.

“Th- That!”

Everyone who saw the cart was astonished.

“That’s all is luggage?”

“A cart can withstand that?”

“Did a person drag that all the way here?”

There was no consensus on where to be surprised, but what was surprising was surprising anyway.

“Wha- What about the kids? Where are the kids?”

“R- Right?”

Then some people pulled their heads out of the back of the cart.

“H- Huh? You guys are here already?”

“Hey, get rid of the booze!”

“Meat? What about the meat, Sasuk?”

“Meat is fine! Get rid of the booze!”

‘I can hear you, guys. Sadly, I can hear you all.’

“Chung Myung, you punk!”

Hyun Young ran quickly when he found Chung Myung who peeped out from behind the cart.

Then he grabbed Chung Myung’s cheek and pulled it hard.

“Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch! It hurts!”

“You punk! You punk! Your face is now half as before! How much you couldn’t eat! Oh my god, how rough it must have been to get back to the North Sea, that fine kid was so skinny now! Baek Cheon, this guy! I told you to take care of the kids!”

“…….”

‘N- No. Elder…….’

‘If that face was half as before, was he supposed to be like a moon?’

“Get out of the way, you punk!”

At that moment, Hyun Jong, who came running, kicked Hyun Young’s butt and blew him away. And as he looked at the faces of the children one by one, he burst into tears.

His clothes were all worn out, and his shoes were almost unrecognizable.

Of course, Baek Cheon’s clothes, which remained ghostly clean, and Chung Myung’s almost brand new shoes caught his eye, but Hyun Jong tried to ignore them.

“Sect Leader!”

Baek Cheon took the initiative and greeted Hyun Jong.

“The disciples of Mount Hua Sect, including second-class disciples Baek Cheon, safely completed their mission and returned to Mount Hua.”

“Yes, yes!”

Hyun Jong nodded his head and patted Baek Cheon on the shoulder.

He looked much more reliable than before he left, and his eyes burned for no reason.

Hyun Jong did not bother to hide his tears.

“You’ve been through a lot. You’ve been through a lot of work.”

“As a disciple of Mount Hua, it’s a natural thing to do.”

“Yes, yes.”

Other disciples became more reliable, and their eyes became much deeper. Besides, whatever had happened, they were much calmer than before.

Hyun Jong opened his mouth to say something more, but the disciples in the back couldn’t hold back and cheered.

“Sahyung! Welcome back!”

“Sasuk! Sahyung! You’ve done a great job!”

“How was the North Sea? Is it really as cold as its word said?”

“Tell us a story!”

Receiving everyone’s enthusiastic hospitality, Baek Cheon smiled quietly.

“Keuhh, you’re kicking a person.”

Hyun Young, thrown out by Hyun Jong, came running again while shaking his bottom.

“You’ve been through a lot.”

“Yes, Elder-nim.”

“But why did you ask everyone to come down?”

“Oh, it’s nothing.”

Baek Cheon glanced at the mountain of luggage and opened his mouth.

“Baek Sang-ah.”

“Yes, Sahyung!”

Baek Chan jumped out vigorously, and Baek Chun made a chin gesture to him. He then smiled pleasedly at his Sajil.

“Fly.”

“Yes?”

“The luggage, please.”

“…….”

Baek Sang’s gaze slowly, very slowly turned to the piles of luggage. His face turned pale as if blood were drained away.

“… This all?”

“Yeah.”

“Up the mountain?”

“Yeah.”

“… Everything?”

“Yeah.”

“…….”

“We’ll go up with ElderS first, so you can lead them to move everything and put them in the warehouse.”

“Sahyung, our warehouse is in the….”

“Baek Sang.”

“…Yes?”

“Carry it.”

“…Yes.”

After solving the most difficult problem, Baek Cheon smiled coolly at Hyun Jong.

“I have a lot to tell. Let’s go.”

“Le- Let’s do so.”

He walked toward Mount Hua with the Elders. Then the disciples who returned from the North Sea followed suit.

“Don’t miss a single thing.”

“Carry it up before sunset.”

“If you miss one thing, I won’t let you go!”

“Hurry up and start.”

“…….”

‘Did they all leave their personality in the North Sea?

At that time, Chung Myung, who was the last person to move, clicked his tongue.

“Tsk tsk. You’re so thoughtless… Baek Sang Sasuk.”

“Huh? Wh- Why? Chung Myung?”

“Get the cart up, too.”

“…….”

“Bring it carefully. Don’t hurt the cart.”

“…….”

“Ha, it’s warm. I feel like going to live longer.”

Baek Sang smiled warmly as he saw Chung Myung walking away with his hands behind his back.

‘Why did they come back?’

Good times are always short.
