Return of The Mount Hua – Chapter 201. Let's just call it my whim. (1)

"If you look at Jungwon as a huge go board, the place where you have to place stones to escape from the siege that is tightening from all directions is not inside, but outside. The battle won't change if you make a colleague inside."

"Do you think Mount Hua is worth it? Mount Hua, that is no longer Ten Great Sect?”

"It's worth it because we’re not. If we were one of them, would we be crazy enough to hold hands with Tang Family? Let alone the others."

"I accept that apology."

Chung Myung grinned.

The two sit down again face each other without saying a word.

Although the appearance did not change from the first time, the inside was completely different.

“If the Tang family would do anything for you, will you accept us as Mount Hua allies?”

"Three things."

"Three things?"

"The first one is a weapon."

Tang Gun-ak's face stiffened.

"Poison and assassination technique of the Tang family cannot go outside under any circumstances. If you want Tang Family’s technique, I'll pretend this negotiation didn't happen."

"Not that. There's no use in taking assassination technique to Mount Hua."

"Then?"

Chung Myung pulled out a sword from his waist without saying a word.

It was very rude to draw a sword without permission in front of the head of the family, but Tang Gun-ak guessed that the action was intentional and watched silently.

"Can you see it?"

"Well."

Chung Myung's Plum Blossom Sword was completely shattered.

"The quality is not good."

"I'm being unreasonable, but it's not a very good sword in the first place. It can't be helped. Because there was no money in Mount Hua. Now we have money, but it's difficult to find a blacksmith who can make good swords in bulk."

"I'm sure other sects have already occupied such a place."

"Yes, but there are some best blacksmiths in Jungwon. They can make a sword like a piece of cake."

"Hmm. A master calligrapher doesn't blame the brush, isn't it?"

"It's nonsense. If you go to the homes of famous writers, you'll probably have over a hundred brushes, right?"

"Haha, that's right."

Tang Gun-ak nodded.

It is Tang Family that has the best craftsmen in the world and spares no investment in making good weapons. So he doesn't hate Chung Myung's words that recognize the importance of weapons.

"The fact that you can show your skills even if your sword is bad doesn't mean there's no difference between a good sword and a bad sword.  I heard that the smelting technique of the Tang family is the best in the world. It would be nice if such Tang Family could make Plum Blossom Sword and supply it to Mount Hua."

"I'll take it. It's not hard."

Considering Tang Family's ability, it is only a piece of cake to make a sword for Mount Hua, which has been reduced in size.

So the next will be something bigger.

"Second is?"

"Give me a skill."

Tang Gun-ak frowned again.

"You seem to know it well, but you keep saying things that are unreasonable. Tang Family's secret art is something that can only be succeeded by blood relation."

"You keep making me say the same thing. Not the secret art."

"Well, then?"

A skill that's not the secret art of the Tang family? Was there such a thing in the Tang family?

Chung Myung, who received the curious gaze of Tang Gun-ak, took off his shirt without saying a word.

"……."

Then he began to untie the bandages wrapped around his stomach.

"Hmm."

There is only a little redness left in the place where the wound was. In just three days, the wound from Willow Flying Dagger has completely healed.

"It's a great recovery."

"Medicine is a good thing."

"...did you?"

"Yes, what I want is the medicine of Tang Family."

"……."

The look on Tang Gun-ak's expression darkened.

The medicine of the Tang family?

Of course, it's not Tang Family’s secret art. The true secret art of the Tang Family was poison and assassination skills.

However, it was not something that could easily be passed down. Because it had no origin.

"Why are you so interested? No one has ever tried to learn the Tang family’s medicine."

"Because I need it."

Chung Myung shrugged his shoulders.

As Tang Gun-ak said, Tang Family's medicine is not particularly valuable. This is because it is impossible to open Medicine Hall only with the medicine of the Tang family.

The reason?

It's simple. Because it doesn't cure the disease. The medicine focused solely on trauma and internal injury is the medicine of the Tang Family.

Think about it.

Unless you're a martial artist, what's the point of trauma, poisoning, and internal injury? If you open a Medicine Hall just to do that, you will have to lower the signboard while hoping that someone around you will get hurt.

But.

'Mount Hua needs it.'

In his dream, Tang Bo told him.

How important medicine is.

He didn't even listen to Tang Bo properly. He thought it was better to be stronger in that time than to prepare for an injury with medicine. If you get stronger, you won't get hurt.

But what was the reality that Chung Myung faced?

Everyone is dead.

Chung Myung might have saved a few if he had known Tang Family's medicine at the time. But all Chung Myung knew was, at best, Naegong for injury.

'Can the internal organs cut through the hole be attached?'

Not a chance.

If Chung Myung had known medicine at that time, Tang Bo might not have died like that. He can't forget the face of Tang Bo, who was holding his hand with a sword stuck in his chest and begging for the Tang Family.

He didn't want to put the disciple of Mount Hua through that.

Because the helplessness and the sadness were too great for a person to bear.

"Please pass on Tang Family’s medicine to Mount Hua. Then people will come and go naturally, so the friendship will grow stronger."

"Well, it's not easy. We have to convince the Elder too."

"That’s why I chose this as a condition."

Tang Gun-ak narrowed his forehead.

It's certainly not easy. But...

"I'll try to get it through somehow."

In exchange for obtaining Mount Hua, he can give it away. No, he has to give it up and get Mount Hua.

"Up to this point, I can somehow do it. But after hearing this, I'm afraid to hear the third and final condition. It's probably the biggest one, right?"

"Yes, it's the biggest one."

"What's that?"

Chung Myung took a little deep breath.

And look right at Tang Gun-ak and say.

This is not a request from Mount Hua.

This alone was Chung Myung's request.

"Please consider Mount Hua as a friend."

"I think it's only natural. We are allies...…."

"Not an alliance, but a friend."

"……."

Chung Myung's voice was adamant.

"Not an alliance that can be abandoned at any time, depending on conditions and circumstances. A friend who can reach out in times of need. That's the kind of relationship I want."

It doesn't mean anything.

It was not something that could be promised, and it is not something that will be kept just because it is promised. Of course, Chung Myung was also well aware of that.

Nevertheless, he cannot help but say it.

"It's hard to understand."

Tang Gun-ak spoke frankly.

"Everything you've ever asked for has its own reasons. But I don't see a particular reason for this. Did I miss anything?"

"Nothing."

"Why are you saying this, though?"

"I’m not sure."

Chung Myung slightly closed his eyes.

- Taoist Hyung-nim!

‘Don't make that face.’

‘Damn bastard.’

Chung Myung opened his eyes and shrugged his shoulders.

"Let's just say it's my whim."

"A whim..."

Tang Gun-ak opened his mouth with a stiff face.

"Do you know that?"

"What?"

"There have been countless people who want to be with Tang Family."

‘It's got to be.’

Tang Family was the ruler of Sichuan.

"But no one ever said that they wanted to be friends with Tang Family. That was a very interesting thing to say."

"So what's the answer?"

"The answer is..."

The corners of Tang Gun-ak's mouth roll-up.

"We don't know how to treat a close friend."

"……."

"So I'd like you to let me know. I mean, what a close friend is."

Chung Myung grinned.

"It's not difficult."

"I hope so."

Tang Gun-ak smiled and nodded.

'It's unfamiliar.'

Friend. Friend.

That's something he couldn't have imagined.

But the childish word tickles Tang Gun-ak's chest. It's all the more because it came out of the mouth of the most unexpected person for Tang Gun-ak.

"I accept three conditions."

"Yes, of course."

"I understand this has led to the signing of an alliance between the Tang Family and Mount Hua. Now the question is whether Mount Hua will accept this negotiation."

"I'll write you a letter, and send it to Mount Hua with your seal. Then it'll work."

"Is your influence on Mount Hua that much?"

"No, I don't think so.…."

"Huh?"

Chung Myung said with a strange look.

"Sect Leader and the Elders are also people who are tired of being alienated and ignored.... They'll be happy and even in tears if they know what's going on in Tang Family."

"……."

Tang Gun-ak's cheeks trembled.

He can't believe he is being treated like this.….

"Anyway, I see. Then with this...…."

"Where are you going?"

Tang Gun-ak, who was about to stand up, flinched and looks at Chung Myung.

"Do you have anything to say? I have to act now to get things done quickly."

"We have to negotiate."

"Didn't the negotiations end a while ago?"

"Ah, that's the deal with Mount Hua."

Chung Myung's fingers poke somewhere.

"What about this?"

The wound.

Now, Chung Myung's fingers touch the scar that only leaves red spot.

Tang Gun-ak's eyes tremble.

"D- Didn’t I have given you Cheondokdan!"

"Hey, you're in big trouble! You are trying to get over the death of a person with just one elixir! People are born and medicine is created! You mean medicine is more important than a person’s life?"

"……."

"I'm alive because it’s me!  If it were anyone else, they would've been dead! But you're going to give me one of those Cheondokdan or something and shut my mouth?"

"Oh, no...."

"Oh, the way Tang Family treats their friends is so cold. You acted like you were going to give me everything. Tsk, tsk, tsk. That's why you don't have friends, that's why! You have to be faithful!"

Tang Gun-ak's face turned red.

"What do you want?"

"Can I tell you?"

"I can't bear the word that Tang Family has no faith! Tell me what it is! What do you want?"

"Oh, really?"

Chung Myung's eyes sparkled.

"It's not much of a deal……."

"Tell me."

"No, it's nothing to say."

"……Huh?"

Chung Myung went through the shirt he had thrown off.

"Let's see. It was here...…. Oh! Here you go."

Yes?

What's that?

Booklets?

Chung Myung grinned as he held out the booklet from his clothes to Tang Gun-ak.

“I thought it would be too long to put it into words, so I put it together in advance.”

"……."

"Hehe. You don't have to compliment me for being prepared. This is the basic. It's comfortable for both of us."

"……."

It dawned on Tang Gun-ak.

All anger comes out of his mouth.

That anger explodes when he meets that demon.

In a little while.

When they saw Tang Gun-ak coming out of his living room, the member of the Tang Family, chattered, saying, 

‘Gaju-nim walked around with a blank face for the first time in his life.’
