Return of The Mount Hua – Chapter 204. Let's just call it my whim. (4)

"I told you to stand there!"

"No, I have all those chaotic leeches!"

Chung Myung pick up the pace and ran away even faster.

Behind him, Tang So-so was chasing with formidable force.

"Huh?"

Water bottle?

Tang So-so, who pulled out a bag and a glass, poured tea into the glass and offered it to Chung Myung.

"Please drink this."

"……what is this?"

"It's a cold tea. You'll get thirsty from running away, so have a cold drink."

Chung Myung blinked.

Do you usually prepare for something like this while chasing after people?

…... she's so unique.

"Hurry up."

"Oh."

Chung Myung picked up the tea that Tang So-so offered and drank it.

"Wow!"

First of all, it's cool.

Tang So-so smiled brightly at the sight.

"Isn't it cool?"

"Hmm."

"Now, let's have a heart-to-heart talk! What do you hate about me that you run away from me?"

"……."

Chung Myung frowned a little.

‘I'm not afraid of you, I'm afraid of marriage!'

‘Usually, when this kind of political marriage comes up, women cry and say they don't like it! Why are you so aggressive!’

You are the trouble then!

"Am I ugly?"

“Uh… that’s not it.”

"Do I look bad-tempered?"

"It doesn't look like it."

"But why do you keep running away like that! This kind of marriage isn't common! I have a pretty face! I have a good personality, I have a strong family!"

That's true. It's too good.

Too much.

Of course, it's difficult if it's someone else, but if you can leave it as a wife's house, there's no better place than the Tang Family... ….

‘Oh my God! Wife my ass!’

"Excuse me."

"Yes."

"I don't really want to get married."

"Everyone does. You can change your mind later."

"I'm a Taoist"

"Mount Hua Taoist, I heard they were allowed to marry?"

"That's true, but I don't have the heart."

Chung Myung said firmly.

"We don't know each other very well anyway, so don't waste your time and find a better marriage partner. I don't want to get along with you."

Then Tang So-so looks at Chung Myung with strange eyes.

"That's not it, is it?"

"Huh?"

"You have a thing for your Sago, don't you?"

"……Huh?"

Tang So-so pointed at Chung Myung with her index finger.

"That's why you're trying to push me away, right?"

Wow

How far does she go by herself?

"It's obvious! Because she's pretty! There's no way a man would turn down a beauty!"

Chung Myung sighed heavily.

'How old am I, man!'

‘Beautiful?’

‘Oh, beauty is good!’

‘But if I were married, my granddaughter would be your grandmother.’

‘No matter what you do, I can only see my granddaughter acting cute.’

‘What?’

‘A beautiful womaaaan?’

Chung Myung smiled bitterly.

Who would understand his situation if he spoke?

When Chung Myung didn't answer, Tang So-so raised his chin as if to confirm it.

"I am right, huh?"

"...don't speak."

Chung Myung sighed deeply.

"Anyway, married or something like that, I don’t care at all, so don't bother chasing me around and look elsewhere."

"Do you think I'm going to give up?"

"……Huh?"

"I'm desperate too! I'll let you know my charm somehow!"

"……what a hideous thing."

"I'm older than you."

Tang So-so glared.

Chung Myung sighs once again as he looks at it.

‘I can't just beat her up.’

Still, you can't beat people up just because they're annoying, can you?

'No, I think it's enough for a reason...….'

- Oh my God! This invincible bastard!

"Oh, I'm not beating her up! I won't beat her!"

"What?"

"……no. Nothing."

Chung Myung shook his hand and pulled back.

"Anyway, I...."

"Don't run away and come here. Let's talk about it carefully today. If we go to a nice tea shop in Sichuan, have a cup of tea, and watch the sunset together, you will develop feelings of love that you didn't have before."

‘No, I don't want to!’

‘I don't need a new heart!’ (The raw is 나는 연심 없어도 된다고!)

It was that moment.

"……sister."

"What?"

Tang So-so turns her head. Tang Zhan approached them with a slightly uncomfortable look.

"Gaju-nim is looking for Chung Myung Sohyup."

"Why now?"

Tang So-so frowned slightly. It means to take him later if it's not that urgent. But Tang Zhan said sternly, with a slightly stiff face.

"It seems to be important."

"Well."

Tang So-so is looking at Chung Myung as if she is disappointed.

"Is it really that urgent?"

"They said it was their debate subject for family."

"Phew, I can't. Hey, Zhan-ah."

"Yes, sister."

"You take Chung Myung Sohyup to father and take him to my place so he doesn't run away."

"……."

"Did you get it?"

"Yes."

Tang So-so nods and opens the way to Chung Myung's way. And she didn't forget the words of encouragement.

"Don't let him slip away and make sure he comes!"

"……."

Chung Myung followed Tang Zhan with a completely lost face.  Tang Zhan glanced at him with a sorry face.

"Are you tired?"

"……no."

"Yes?"

"……Everyone in Tang Family is out of their minds."

"……."

It was Tang Zhan, who couldn’t refute such a sad moment.

Tang So-so bites her lips as she looks at the back of the two as they move away.

‘I don't have much time.'

Sooner or later, Chung Myung will leave Tang Family. If one is so desperate to catch and there is no response like that, the possibility should be said to disappear completely as soon as Chung Myung leaves Tang Family.

"I have to do something……."

"That's not going to work."

"Gasp!"

Surprised by the voice from behind, Tang So-so turned her body and grabbed the decorations of her head momentarily.

But soon after she confirmed that the person in the voice was an acquaintance, she sighed and lowered her hand

"……What's the matter?"

"Talk."

"What?"

Yoo Iseol looked at Tang So-so and said firmly.

"We need to talk."

"……."

‘Uh... I think she's a little weird.’

The stone that fell on the pond created a huge stir.

Tang So-so stared at the spreading waves and opened her mouth.

"I know, it's a little ugly, isn't it?"

"……."

"But I'm not hanging on because I like it. I'm sorry that I’m poking at your guy."

"Sajil."

"What?"

"He is my Sajil."

Tang So-so turned his head and looked at Yoo Iseol.

It was hard to guess what she was thinking because of her expressionless face. However, she thinks it is beautiful enough for the same woman to admire.

"Not in a relationship?"

"Yes."

"There's a beautiful woman like you and he doesn't show any interest?"

"I'm interested in getting better at martial arts."

"……Oh my God.”

‘Is that really possible, even if it's a Taoist?’

"Oh, glad you did."

According to Yoo Iseol, Chung Myung is a person who has no interest in women in the first place. There is no way that she can seduce such a person into marriage.

"It’s my fate."

Tang So-so sighs heavily. Then Yoo Iseol stared at her and said.

"You don't have feelings either."

"……."

"No?"

Tang So-so nods slightly.

"But don't get me wrong. I didn't mean to take advantage of it. I was going to do my best if I get married."

"It looks like that."

"Now it's all gone."

Yoo Iseol opened her mouth while looking at Tang So-so.

"Why are you obsessed? Marriage."

"What?"

"I think that's enough. Even if you don't have to be tied to marriage."

Tang So-so was smirking.

It will certainly so to those who see it from the outside.

"Do you know what Tang Family is like?"

"……."

"The law of Tang Family is extremely strict. . There is only one path I can choose from here. Marrying someone who Tang Family wants. What I'm doing right now is a minimum of defiance against them.  If I'm forced to marry him anyway, I'm going to choose to marry him. A place that my family would like too."

"Another way...…."

"There's no other way. This is Sichuan Tang Family. A woman of the Sichuan Tang Family is just a half-hearted woman who cannot learn the secret art or live as a warrior of the Tang Family. Especially if she's the daughter of Gaju."

Tang So-so shrugged his shoulders.

"Well, I didn't live with such a huge dissatisfaction. I've had a lot of good food since I was the daughter of Gaju. I feel a little at ease if I think it's a price to pay. But...."

Tang So-so lifted his gaze from the pond and looked at the distant sky.

"But it's just...."

The end of the sentence became blurred, and soon a low sigh leaked out.

Yoo Iseol, who was looking at Tang So-so's face dyed red by the sunset, calmly opens her mouth.

"There's a way."

"……What?"

"There's always a way. It's just that you don't even think about going."

Tang So-so bit his lips slightly.

"Will you stop talking like you know everything? I don't need proper comfort right now"

"I'll open it for you. The way."

Tang So-so opens his eyes slightly wide and looks at Yoo Iseol.

You're going to open the way?

Yoo Iseol?

"……."

Whether it is possible or not, there is a bigger question.

"Why are you trying to help me?"

"Because I was like that too."

There was no path in sight.

No matter how hard she tries. No matter how much.

But her path suddenly rolled into Mount Hua one day.

The most eccentric path in the world.

Now at least she doesn't wander off looking for directions.

So...

"There's no difference."

Yoo Iseol looks at Tang So-so with a stern face.

"At least you can make other choices."

Tang So-so, who was staring at Yoo Iseol, reaches out. Then Yoo Iseol grabbed her hand and raised her.

"I can't trust you."

"It's worth losing."

"That's true."

Tang So-so grinned.

"But can I ask you a question?"

"Ask me."

"You really don't have any relationship?"

"……."

"Really? Really?"

Yoo Iseol sighed low and turned to her place.

"Really not? Really?"

It seems to be a characteristic of Tang So-so, regardless of the opponent, to stick to it tenaciously.

* * *

Tak!

Chung Myung, who closed the door, stared at Tang Gun-ak.

"……you look busy."

"It's all thanks to someone."

"……I will never apologize."

"Ugh."

Chung Myung sighed deeply and sat across from Tang Gun-ak.

"What did you call me for?"

Tang Gun-ak took a moment to choose his words and let out a low sigh. And then he opened his mouth with a heavy voice.

"I think I have to ask you a favor."

"What? Request?"

Chung Myung narrowed his eyes.

"What, I asked you for a way there! Why you instead ask me a favor?"

"It's not like that."

Tang Gun-ak raised his hand and squeezed his forehead.

"Now that you mention it, let's deal with it first. We have secured the ascending route. Peace Merchant Group (和平商團) of Sichuan is preparing to go up to Yunnan. I told them to go there with you."

"When?"

"The day after tomorrow, I guess."

"It's faster than I thought. Thank you."

Tang Gun-ak sighs.

"And... ..my request."

"Yes."

"The thing is ……."

Tang Gun-ak began to unravel to Chung Myung what had happened with the Senate. There was some excepted, but as he explained the situation, he couldn't help but talk about the delicate conflict between him and the Senate.

‘It should be fine.’

Chung Myung said that he wanted to become close friends with the Tang family.

True friends should be able to accept each other's dirty deeds.

"……that's what happened."

Tang Gun-ak sneaked a peek at Chung Myung.

Knowing it is Chung Myung, he would surely be asking for something else.….

'Hmm?'

Tang Gun-ak flinched for a moment and trembled.

There is an expression on Chung Myung's face that he has never seen before.

"……I mean."

Chung Myung's husky voice leaks out of his mouth.

"That means the elders of the senate are dragging Gaju’s feet."

"That's true, so to speak."

"Your feet huh."

The corners of Chung Myung's mouth was slightly twisted.

- If I had trusted and supported the family, rather than picking on everything they said, my family would have been a little stronger. Then… … Then one more person might be saved... … .

- So once the war is over, I'm going to help Gaju a little bit. I'm Elder Taesangro by name, an adult, but I've never taken good care of them.

'……Of course, you didn't lead me here.'

A dead man is a dead man. There is no such thing as the will of the dead.

Nevertheless, Chung Myung could not ignore Tang Bo's will in his memory.

"You said it was a request, didn't you?"

"That's right."

"I refuse that request."

Tang Gun-ak nodded his head with a slightly disappointed look on his face.

This can't be forced...….

"Instead!"

"……Hmm?"

Chung Myung's eyes lit up.

"I'll give you a present."

"Gift?"

"Yes."

Chung Myung nods silently.

However, this is not a gift from Chung Myung. He's just passing it on.

This will transcend a long period of time and will be a gift given to Tang Gun-ak by Anzun Tang Bo, who was the elder of the Tang Family.

“Please proceed as planned. And no matter what I do that day, don't ever come forward."

"……what are you going to do?"

"Well, it's simple."

Chung Myung grinned.

"It's what I'm best at."
