Return of The Mount Hua –
Chapter 185. Oh My God. What's Going on Here? (5)
This is Sahaesanghweda.
It may not be known to the world, but in Sichuan, it can be said that it is a
place where its prestige reaches the heavens.
It is rude of them to knock on the door of such a place at this late hour. There are only two kinds of people who will commit such rudeness in this city.
One is those who are so eager to trade that they are looking for a top spot even at the expense of disrespect. And the other one is...….
'Those who think nothing of disrespecting Sahaesanghweda.'
The former could be anyone, but there was only one person in the world who could be the latter.
"Who was it?"
"That's……."
Jo-Pyeong could guess who the visitor was from the servant's slightly blurred voice.
It was then.
Suddenly, the outside began to make a fuss.
"You must not come in."
"Please wait. You can't go over there freely."
Jo-Pyeong's face hardened.
Perhaps his guess was right.
‘Now, of all things.’
Sensing that things were starting to go awry, he stood from his seat.
"Take these people to the guest house."
"Yes!"
Jo-Pyeong walked quickly and opened the door.
Sure enough, he could see a crowd of servants and a few people who is blocked by the servants.
Only three.
Three men, who didn't seem to be old, were walking leisurely through numerous servants.
Green uniform.
And a little bit of black on the sleeves.
Looking at those two things, anyone who eats rice in Gangho will have no difficulty guessing their affiliation.
"Stand back!"
"Yes, Master!"
Only then did the servants rush to side to side. As the path opened, the three approached with relaxed faces.
"Greeting, Sahaesanghweda Master."
When the person in the lead started a conversation, Jo-Pyeong faced him in opposite direction. Then, looking at his face, he widened his eyes.
"Yes, what matter bring you here?"
The person at the forefront was Tang Zhan, one of the Young Master of the Sichuan Tang Family.
'Tang Zhan. The fifth son of the head of Sichuan Tang family."
If he is the fifth son of another sect, he is no better than a sect looking for connection.
However, Sichuan Tang Family is different. In the Sichuan Tang Family, where blood rules everything and everything is inherited by blood, the fifth son of the head family is the core of power.
Although he is not yet in an important position because he is young, he is likely to become the center of the Tang Family in just 10 years.
Such a man suddenly broke into Sahaesanghweda at this late night.
Jo-Pyeong's face turned dark.
‘I don't think he is here for a good reason.'
When there was no reply from the other side, Jo-Pyeong quickly beat up.
"It's an honor to meet the heroes of the Tang family. However, I am very worried that he will be negligent in hospitality because you came here without any news at this late night."
It was to blame for coming in the middle of the night.
But Tang Zhan just smiled as if he had nothing to do with it.
"I was rude because I couldn't calm down. So please don't blame us too much."
"……you couldn’t calm down?"
"Yes."
Tang Zhan glances to the back of Jo-Pyeong. Recognizing that he was looking inside the hall, Jo-Pyeong hurriedly changed the subject.
"Please go inside for now. Let’s have a cup of tea first.…."
"I was told that Young Master of Sahaesanghweda, who had gone to a distant place to study,, has returned."
Jo-Peyong bit his lips at the rudeness of Tang Zhan, who interrupted him.
'You mean the news is already reached Tang Family?'
Jo-Gol was back only half a
day ago.
Even though this place is large, the news is already reached their ears. This
showed how completely the Tang family had taken over Sichuan.
"Isn't that so?"
Jo-Pyeong's eyebrows twitched at Tang Zhan piercing words.
"Yes, yes. My insensitive son has just returned home."
Jo-Pyeong did not easily say anything else but waited for Tang Zhan's words. It
is necessary to understand what their intentions are to come here.
"Haha, Scholar Jo-Gol, Young Master of Sahaesanghweda, was a coveted
talent in our Tang Family. So when Sahaesanghweda Master sent Young Master
elsewhere, Head Family was deeply saddened." (He said Confucius, which is
a famous scholar, so I changed it to scholar.)
When the word "go away" comes out, Jo-Pyeong flinched.
'Not good.'
The mention of Gaju means that this was not simply an event that occurred due
to their whim.
He doesn't want to say it out loud, but it means that they came to this place
is the will of the Tang family.
"That's why I'd like to check."
"Checking?"
"Yes."
Tang Zhan smiled broadly.
"As far as I know, Scholar Jo-Gol was entered Mount Hua. Isn't it
so?"
"……yes."
"That's why I'd like to check. He refused to come to Tang Family to learn
martial arts, and ao just what did he get from entering Mount Hua? Wouldn't our
disappointment go away even a little bit if Scholar Jo-Gol came back with great
learning?" (I know, it doesn’t seem fit haha.)
"……."
Jo-Pyeong bit his lips gently.
'I knew this would happen one day, but not this sudden...….'
Most of the children of all influential figures in Sichuan enter Tang Family
and learn their martial arts.
Of course, essential poison
knowledge and assassination techniques were never taught. Only males with the
Tang surname can learn the core arts of the Tang Family. Even a girl with a
Tang surname cannot learn their core family art for fear of a leak.
Only the male members of the Tang Family can learn the assassination techniques
of the Tang family.
In other words, it means that the sons of influential figures in the Tang
Family have to learn only the flimsy shells over the years.
Tang Family's nonsense prevented all the sons of all influential figures of
Sichuan from devoting themselves to martial arts. In this way, it makes people
depend on Tang Family and instills a sense of belonging to the Tang Family.
As this process was repeated for more than a hundred years, Tang Family has
taken full control of merchants in Sichuan.
And Jo-Gol refused to join this.
- Why should I be a scarecrow?
And Jo-Pyeong was also tacitly supportive of that opinion. He wanted to prevent
his son from becoming a puppet of the Tang Family.
Even so, it was obvious that if he sent him to a powerful sect outside of
Sichuan, he would incur the anger of the Tang family.
So after much consideration, the place he chose was Mount Hua.
There was nothing against the will of the Tang family due to its collapse, and
in the past, they had a reputation, so he could develop his ability if he did
well, and above all, it was far from Sichuan.
It was just the right place for Jo-Gol.
"As you know, the place where my child entered is in Mount Hua. Mount Hua
is a sect that has fallen in name and reality. I just sent him there because he
liked the sword so much."
"Haha, I know. I know,
but...…."
Tang Zhan's eyes grew slightly cold.
"It is a little misleading to say that Mount Hua has collapsed. Isn't
Mount Hua's reputation echoing throughout the world?"
"...Huh? What do you
mean? ……."
"Oh, my. The merchant is so late with this information. Now the reputation
of Mount Hua sect resonates throughout Jungwon. Among them, the names of Mount
Hua's third-class disciples, Jo-Gol and Yoon Jong, and second-class disciples,
Baek Chun and Yoo Iseol, are constantly on the lips of martial artist."
Jo-Pyeong eyes widened.
Of course, it would be an
exaggeration. Since they now are trying to put pressure on him.
But aren't the names that Tang Zhan recited perfectly match with those who came
with his son?
'Even if it were Tang Family, they wouldn't have been able to figure out the
identity of all the people who came to Sichuan in this short period of time.'
Then it would be true that Jo-Gol's name is spreading in the Murim, if not as
much as they say.
"Especially..."
Tang Zhan's eyes glow with both interest and vigilance.
"I've heard that Divine Dragon, who is called the best rising star in the
world, has come here. I dare not compare myself to his reputation, but
how can I not visit them when they have the highest rank?"
‘Huh?’
‘Mount Hua Divine Dragon?’
'That's a very grand name.'
Jo-Pyeong also knows that all those who have such a grand name are great
powerhouses. And he thinks that there is only one person in there who is worthy
of such a name.
"Do you mean the Baek
Chun Sohyup?"
"Hahahaha."
Tang Zhan laughs as if amused.
"Sahaesanghweda Master? Are you really going to come out like this?"
"……what do you mean?"
"I don't know whether because you've been wandering between Yunnan and
Henan and thus have been neglecting the information in Jungwon, or if you're
trying to deceive me."
"Deceive? How could that be?"
Tang Zhan, who was looking at Jo-Pyeong's eyes, nods. He failed to find any
signs of deception in Jo-Pyeong's complexion.
"Well, that's fine. That's not the point right now. Anyway."
Tang Zhan put it bluntly.
“As a person of the Tang Family, I would like to meet the disciples of Mount
Hua who have visited Sichuan, could you please call them? Of course, it
includes Young Master of Sahaesanghweda ."
Jo-Pyeong's eyes slightly turned back.
‘What should I do?'
As a person who lives in Sichuan, especially a merchant, the request of the
Tang family cannot be ignored.
However, Mount Hua’s disciples who is here right now were Jo-Gol's brother
disciples and guests of Sahaesanghweda. It was something that should never be
done to put precious guests in front of the Tang family, which is showing their
teeth.
Jo-Gol won't be too
persecuted in front of Sahaesanghweda, but he do not know what will happen to
others.
As Jo-Pyeong, who knows the
fear and scorn of the Sichuan Tang Family better than anyone else, he had no
choice but to worry.
"I understand what you mean, but it's too late today, so why don't you
come back tomorrow since all the guests have gone to bed?"
"Haha, I can't believe they are already in bed. The disciples of Mount Hua
seem to be very lazy."
"On a long trip, the fatigue accumulates..."
"Sahaesanghweda
Master."
Tang Zhan suddenly lowered his voice.
"This is a matter of Tang family. Are you saying that you're going to
interrupt Tang Family business?"
"Of course not."
Jo-Pyeong's face turned muddy.
Anyone who knows what it means to go against Tang Family in Sichuan will have
no choice but to react like Jo-Pyeong.
Tang Zhan smiles brightly.
"This has unintentionally
become a form of persecution against Sahaesanghweda Master. I apologize."
"Oh, no."
Tang Zhan looked behind Jo-Pyeong and said.
"Mount Hua's disciples seem to have no pride. I'm sure you can hear my
voice, but to hide behind Sahaesanghweda until the end...…."
It was then.
"Hey! Hold on! Hold on!"
"This is Sichuan, you punk! Sect Leader told me not to cause any
trouble.…!"
"Ahhhhh! Get that, that one!"
‘Huh?’
Suddenly from the inside, a loud shout began to burst out. And soon.
Bang!
The door rises to the sky with strong noise.
Tuck!
Seeing the door fall right
next to him, Tang Zhan blinked and raised his head.
Crooked shape.
A young man with a bottle in one hand glugged it and wipes his mouth.
‘Are he drunk?’
‘Isn’t that completely drunken behavior?’
Meanwhile, Tang Zhan did
not miss the plum blossom pattern engraved on the chest of his uniform.
It was the moment he opened his mouth with a puzzled face.
"Who are you to barge in at night and pick a fight?"
"……Huh?"
"I'm going to kill you."
"……."
It was the most absurd word he have ever heard in his life, which short one,
apparently.
