Return of The Mount Hua – Chapter 184. Oh My God. What's Going on Here? (4)

"Did you just say Yunnan?"

Jo-Pyeong's voice was slightly angered.

Jo-Gol closed his eyes slightly as he heard the voice. His father, whom he saw again after a long time, had gray hair.

"Yes."

"Do you aware of what Yunnan is like and say that?"

"I know."

"Even though you know!"

Jo-Pyeong's face shakes slightly.

"All you're saying is that you want to know how to go to Yunnan after five years? Didn't you come back home?"

"No."

"This guy!"

Jo-Pyeong looked at Jo-Gol with absurdity.

"It's already been a year since you promised to come home. You came back so late and you didn't intend to stay at home yet? Are you saying that now?"

It's obviously a voice of anger.

But it was Jo-Gol who know that his worries and sorrows were greater than his anger towards his son.

‘This is why I didn't want to come.'

Jo-Gol looked sighed and shook her head. It was a situation he had to face one day.

"Father."

"Yes, tell me."

"Going to Yunnan is a must for me."

"What you must do is to return to the family and succeed the business."

"Don't I have a brother?"

"Have you forgotten our family tradition? It is our law and tradition for all family members to continue the business together!"

Jo-Gol sighs.

"I promised Sect Leader that I will make this trip to Yunnan a success."

"Isn't the promise you made with me a promise?"

"That's……."

"Not much to say!"

Jo-Pyeong is determined.

"I allowed you to enter the ruined Mount Hua because you wanted to test yourself in a place that is not under the influence of our family business. Because I believed that you could grow up well by experiencing hardships in the absence of us. But you're willing to abandon your promise and stay in Mount Hua!"

"Mount Hua is no longer a fallen sect. Soon, the name of Mount Hua will resonate throughout the world."

Jo-Pyeong looked straight at Jo-Gol.

"...if that's what you say, it could be."

He did not easily deny or ignore his son's words.

"But that's Mount Hua's job. The place you need to use your strength is none other than Sahaesanghwe, isn't it our family?"

"……."

"Gol-ah."

Jo-Pyeong sighed deeply.

"I'm your father. How can you not understand the feelings of this father who lives with his child in another place?"

"……father."

Jo-Gol bit his lips. In the end, this is a dialogue that only runs parallel to each other. And he is also clearly aware of his mistakes.

"Please find a way to Yunnan."

"Until the end...!"

"I'd like to talk to you again after that."

The eyes of Jo-Gol were determined.

Jo-Gol opened his mouth as he looked straight into his gaze.

"This is something I must do as a man and as a disciple of Mount Hua. I can't do anything without finishing this work. Please allow me to do as I please this time."

"Hmm."

Jo-Pyeong let out a heavy hoarse voice.

"Do you know how dangerous it is to go to Yunnan?"

"Yes, I am prepared."

"I see what you mean. However, I don't have a clear way to Yunnan."

Jo-Gol stared at Jo-Pyeong and opened his mouth.

“We have confirmed that Yunnan Pu-erh tea is circulating in Sichuan." (If you perhaps wanted to try it lol. LinkHere)

"……."

"There's Pu-erh tea in the family businesses too. Without a market, this would not be possible. No matter how much Namman Yasugung Clan blocks it, at least the minimum quantity will be released. Isn't it so?"

"Ugh."

To his knowledge, Jo-Gal arrived today. And for a very short period of time he only went around Sichuan. However, the fact that he have already figured out how the Pu-erh tea are circulated means that he have already thought of this case.

‘Such a talent.’

To be immersed in a sword like a child's play. Jo-Pyeong don't understand it at all.

"Do you have something to say?"

"There will be a way up to Yunnan."

Jo-Gol’s eyes lit up.

"There must be a secret trade, a formal trade with the permission of Namman Yasugung Clan, whether it’s small or large scale. Please accompany me up there. I'd be happy to have it, even if just a porter."

"Absolutely not."

It was not Jo-Pyeong who spoke the word of refusal. It was Hwa Yeon-bi, Jo-Gol's mother, who had been listening to the conversation between the two until now.

"Mother."

"Yunnan is a dangerous place. And isn't the reason you're trying to cheat your way into Yunnan is to do something more dangerous there?"

Jo-Gol bowed his head without an answer.

He can't lie to his parents who he met after five years.

"Which parent would find a way to send their child to danger? No. Absolutely not."

"Mother."

Jo-Gol says firmly.

"You've told me that leading merchant guild is to taking risks."

"……."

"How can a man who can't make a trip to Yunnan be a good merchant? Please allow me to."

"The guy who doesn't even want to be a merchant!"

At that time, Jo-Pyeong opened his mouth with a feeling that he was not willing to do so.

"Do you really have to go?"

"Yes."

"What if I don't give you permission?"

"Then...."

There was a firm resolution in Jo-Gol's eyes.

“I will enter Yunnan on foot wearing this plum blossom robe.”

"This guy!"

In the end, Jo-Pyeong, who couldn't overcome his anger, jumped up from his seat.

And he stared at his son with frightening eyes. But Jo-Gol only received those eyes with a calm gaze. look.

After brief confrontation, a disheartened Jo-Pyeong sat back in his seat.

'You've grown up, haven't you?'

That is not just a reckless act.

As a merchant who has done numerous deals, he could tell. That's neither reckless nor bravado. It's the will of the man who built his own path.

Jo-Pyeong, who thought he might really lose his child if he held his ankle with any further complaints, bit his lips slightly.

"Well, here's the deal."

"...what should I do?"

"You're going to Yunnan to take care of Mount Hua's work, aren't you?"

"That's right."

"Then you're going to do it with your people, right?"

"That's... that's it, isn't it?"

Jo-Gol's voice getting weaker.

‘Uh...’

‘It shouldn't go like this.’

"Then, the Mount Hua people who came with you will accompany you to Yunnan?"

"Uh... um, uh..."

Jo-Pyeong did not wait for Jo-Gol's response.

"Then I'll see them and decide. Are they really people who can trust be trusted? This is my best concession. What do you think?"

"Uh...…."

Calmness disappears from Jo-Gol's eyes.

Thinking of the case in which Jo-Pyeong's words were put into action, Jo-Gol opened his mouth trying to fix his trembling eyes.

"Can’t...…."

"Yes?"

"Can't we just exclude one person?"

"……."

Jo-Pyeong at his son with a puzzled eye.

* * *

"That's why I brought you here."

Baek Chun gave a light swipe.

"I'm late to greet you. I'm Baek Chun, a second-class disciple of Mount Hua. I was unexpectedly visiting Sajil’s family, so please kindly understand that my preparations were insufficient."

"Think of it as your home and stay comfortably. Gol-ah’s Sasuk is like a family to me."

"Thank you for your hospitality."

Baek Chun grinned. And said.

"But there's one thing I'd like to point out. I'm ashamed to tell you this."

"And what that might be?"

Baek Chun's gaze pressed down solemnly on Jo-Gol.

"Mount Hua had no idea that Jo-Gol Sajil had made such a promise with Sahaesanghwe Master. If he had known that, Sect Leader would have sent Jo-Gol back right away. Please don't think that Mount Hua did something impolite."

"Oh, of course. That kid has that side."

"Thank you for your understanding."

Jo-Pyeong burst into low admiration as he watched Baek Chun's behavior.

'It's the world's best description.'

Baek Chun, wearing a white suit, was so magnificent that even a man could be seen to be amazed. How can he not admire such a man for his courtesy and dignity?

The same goes for those who guard the left and right of Baek Chun.

The person sitting on the right side was not particularly noticeable, but Jo-Pyeong immediately recognized that his deep eyes had a calm disposition.

And the woman sitting to his left had a beauty that Jo-Pyeong had never seen before. In addition, modesty and tenderness can be seen in the gestures.

'I didn't expect Mount Hua to have such a person.'

He could understand a little bit why Jo-Gol liked Mount Hua.

But...

'Why among them?'

Next to him.

Yes, next to him.

The last disciple of Mount Hua is young...…. Yes, it's a little strange.

Ever since Jo-Pyeong came here, he has been unable to take his eyes off the bottle in front of him. He stared at it as if he was going to drink with his eyes.

"……that person is……."

"Oh."

Baek Chun waves his hand firmly.

"Don't worry about it."

"No, he...…."

"That's fine. That's how it is. He is in a bad condition because he stopped drinking in the middle."

Yes?

Drinking... Hmm?

Master? (The raw is 도사가?)

Chung Myung smacks his lips and looks at the bottle.

"I said I'm not coming...…."

"Be quiet."

At the same time as Baek Chun stopped talking, Yoo Iseol poked Chung Myung in the ribs. Chung Myung closes his mouth, smacking his lips as if he was disappointed.

"Hmmm."

Jo-Pyeong, who saw the bizarre sight, could tell who Jo-Gol wanted to leave out.

'Yes, not everyone can be exceptional.'

But why did they send that child with those talents? It's hard to understand.

"Did you call us here for a trip to Yunnan?"

"That's right."

Jo-Pyeong sighed.

“It is very difficult for me to see my son, who has returned after five years, insisting that he go to Yunnan.”

Baek Chun's eyes turned to Jo-Gol. Then Jo-Gol flinches and lowers his head.

‘Look at this.’

Jo-Gol, who was holding his head stiff when he yelled at, immediately curls his tail in Baek Chun's eyes. It shows how much Jo-Gol respects Baek Chun.

"What can we do to help?"

"In fact, rather than helping...…I wanted to make sure that I could trust the people who would take my child to that dangerous Yunnan.”

"I see."

Baek Chun slightly closes his eyes and opens them.

"It's not necessary."

"……Yes?"

Baek Chun said firmly.

"No parent would want their child to go to a rough place. I won't take Jo-Gol to Yunnan. So Sahaesanghwe Master could help us to go to Yunnan...…."

"I'm coming too, Sasuk!"

Jo-Gol jumped out of his seat.

"You'll never go without me! If you break my leg, I'll crawl! Don't even think about separating me!"

"Sit down."

"Sasuk!"

"I told you to sit down."

Jo-Gol bites his lips and reluctantly sits down.

Meanwhile, Chung Myung sneaked back his hand from the bottle.

'Gee, just go fight a little more.'

Then he could have had a drink secretly.

"Sasuk, I told Sect Leader that I would go to Yunnan and make this trip successful. Even if you are my Sasuk, you can't stop me."

"Do you really think so?"

"……Yes?"

"If Sect Leader had known about this, would he have told you to go to Yunnan?"

"That's……."

Baek Chun was very determined.

"Sect is important. But family is also important. Is it really your way to do something your parents don't want you to do?"

"……Sasuk."

"You are here..."

"’Your way’ my ass."

Then,

Chung Myung, who had only paid attention to the bottle, his mouth.

"You can do whatever you want!"

"……."

Baek Chun looks at Chung Myung as if his head hurts.

"Stay still!"

"No, that's not it, Sasuk!"

"……what do you mean then?"

"Does it make sense to leave Sahyung and go to Yunnan easily? I'd rather have a harder time."

Baek Chun's face is slightly stiff.

"This is Jo-Gol family's business."

"What we do is private business."

It was a clear and serious tone, unlike the usual playful voice. Baek Chun naturally faced him with a serious face.

"It's not up to Sasuk to decide family or sect to value more. It's entirely up to Jo-Gol Sahyung to decide that."

"However...."

"No matter how much Sasuk is a senior to Sahyung, you can't force him. It's just a matter of his heart. Right, it's about his heart."

It was a strangely poignant word.

Baek Chun closes his mouth and Chung Myung looks back at Jo-Gol.

"What are you going to do, Sahyung?"

"……are you saying I can decide?"

"Isn't that obvious?"

"But we need my family's help to get to Yunnan...…."

"Well."

Chung Myung decisively cut Jo-Gol's words off.

Then he reached out without hesitation, grabbed the bottle, and drink all the content.

The alcohol is dripping over.

"Oh my god!"

Chung Myung, who wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, smiled and said.

"You are overly worried. Who am I? Even if you don't do this, I'll break their head. Don't worry about that and do whatever you want!"

Chung Myung bends his arm slightly to show off his bicep.

Jo-Gol stopped laughing at the sight.

'It's strange that seeing him do that makes me feel at ease.'

Jo-Gol, who has a brighter expression, opens his mouth still.

"I..."

It was just then.

Knock, knock, knock.

A high-pitched voice is heard along with a knock on the door.

"Master."

"...what's the matter?"

"A- A visitor has come."

At this time of night?

Jo-Pyeong's face hardened coldly.
