Return of The Mount Hua – Chapter 212. Farewell, My Friends. (2)

It didn't take long for the situation in Tang Family to be sorted out.

Tang Gun-ak moved in earnest as if he had waited for this moment, abolished all of Tang Wei's powers and putting him in a dungeon.

At the same time, the Senate was temporarily closed for failing to contain Wei's arbitrariness, and the authority of the elders of Taesangro who formed it was also restricted.

"Do you have to?"

Tang Gun-ak nodded, pouring tea into Chung Myung's cup.

"Isn't the sin plain and simple?"

"Yes, if I put my mind to it, I can prove their sins without dragging my feet. Besides, what they've done is so serious that they'll probably never do it again."

"But why are you dragging your feet?"

“Because there are many other things to organize.”

"Aha."

Chung Myung nodded.

While Tang Wei is being investigated,  there will be an atmosphere of fear in the Tang Family. The oldest Elder in the family is under investigation. Who dares speak out in such a situation?

He meant to take advantage of the atmosphere and get everything he could get from this opportunity.

"You're scarier than I thought."

"Aren’t you the same?"

"What did I do?"

"I'm not going to talk."

Tang Gun-ak shook his head.

He lived a long yet short life, but none of the people he had seen was scarier than Chung Myung.

It's a ridiculous force, but how can he explain the mind that he cannot consider Chung Myung as a young warrior?

‘Maybe it's the best choice of my life to accept Mount Hua as a friend.'

That's it.

As Chung Myung said, it was not the Tang family that chose Mount Hua, but it is Mount Hua that chose the Tang family.

"By the way, are you sure you don't mind?"

"What?"

"Tang Pae."

"Oh, him?"

Chung Myung grinned.

"It's true that he did something wrong, but how could you cut Sogaju’s head for that?"

"Tang Pae is timid. You can tell just by looking at what he did."

"Gaju-nim, it may be a little arrogant for a young man like me to say this……."

"Come now? After all that you have done?"

"……."

No, you bastard.

It became awkward.

"Whatever."

"Well, tell me."

Chung Myung spoke with an uncharacteristically serious eye.

"People learn from mistakes. Ummm... No, it's a mistake to call it a mistake."

"……."

"Why do you think Tang Wei became such a snob?"

"Well, I'm curious about that too. He wasn't such a weird guy when I was still Sogaju."

"It's because he only lives inside the Tang  Family."

"……."

"Being in the family, there is no harm or suffering. He don't even know how many things there are in the world. With that said, he still live with that little thing that he were kicked from Sogaju position. Looking at the world, he fails, gets frustrated, makes mistakes, gets in trouble, and then grows up. To put it the other way around……."

Chung Myung stared at Tang Gun-ak and said.

"No one can grow under someone who takes away everything from that someone in one mistake."

It's a word that stabs Tang Gun-ak.

Tang Gun-ak, who felt something about Chung Myung's words, nodded still.

"Nobody is perfect from the start."

"Everyone does."

The same was true for Chung Myung.

Instead of being unrivaled in martial arts, he was more of a broken character.

If he hadn't lived a new life, he would never have felt what a terrible human he was in the past, how hard it was to make that terrible human person a man, and how painful Cheon Mun Sahyung was.

In other words, if Cheon Mun Sahyung was reluctant to Chung Myung because of his bad personality, not only the Plum Blossom Sword Saint but also the current Chung Myung would not exist.

"The important thing is not to make mistakes, but what you learn from them."

"Yes, it's basic. I must have forgotten the basics."

Tang Gun-ak sighed softly.

Tang Pae is also his child. He couldn't have been at ease after cutting him.

Besides, didn't Tang Pae silently accept the demotion that others would usually feel frustrated and objected to, but also secretly take advantage of its narrow position to capture Tang Wei's subordinates?

When Chung Myung told him this, he felt like a rock sitting in my stomach was broken down.

"Are you sure you don't mind? Tang Pae put a dagger in your stomach. If Tang Pae becomes the head of family in the future, you will have to face him often, but can you handle the awkwardness?"

"Why I have to be uncomfortable?"

"……Huh?"

"If you are Yangban (Privileged people, if I recall correctly), you have to be annoying. It'd be nice if Tang Pae Sogaju could be Gaju. Can he stab me in the stomach and brazenly stab me in the back again?"

"……."

"Hohoho, thanks for the understanding then."

It was Tang Gun-ak who thought that he should not make Tang Pae as Gaju.

"……I see what you mean. But it's true that Tang Pae did something wrong, so I'll let him compete for the position of Sogaju again fairly. That will help Tang Pae grow up."

"It's up to you."

Tang Gun-ak sighed deeply.

"Now, let's move on to the next question.…."

He scratches his head. It's definitely different from the usual dignified Tang Gun-ak.

"So-so…… So-so says she's going to go to Mount Hua."

"What's wrong with her?"

"Gah! How could I know it!"

Tang Gun-ak roared loudly.

In a flash, he felt like his daughter, whom he had been raising dearly, was taken away by Mount Hua.

"Do you want me to say no?"

"Are you authorized to do so?"

"I don't have, but Baek Chun Sasuk...…. Even my Sasuk must ask Sect Leader first about this matter."

“What kind of personality do the Sect Leader have?”

"Hahaha. It's the lady of the Tang family. Someone too big to be embraced by Mount Hua has come. Still, he will take careful step, so make room and take good care of it." (The raw is 어쨌든 귀한 걸음을 하였으니 자리를 내어 주고 잘 돌봐 주어라.")

"……."

"That's the kind of person he is."

Tang Gun-ak sighed deeply.

"I never want to send Sosso to Mount Hua."

"Then go ahead."

"……so please take care of her."

"What?"

‘What are you talking about?’

Tang Gun-ak sighed.

"No matter how powerful I am in the family, I cannot change the centuries-old tradition overnight. There will be a huge backlash. In other words, she has no choice but to marry into influential figure within a year or two."

"……hmm."

"I just want her to be happy. But if there's no way she can be happy within Tang Family, I will at least send her where she can be happy."

"Then why Mount Hua? I recommend Wudang or Southern Edge Sect. Oh, Emei sounds good too."

"You want to marry my daughter?"

Tang Gun-ak blew fire out of his eyes.

Chung Myung smacked his lips as he watched the formidable momentum.

‘He's an old man who thinks horribly of one’s daughter.' (The raw is '정말 딸 하나는 끔찍하게 생각하는 아저씨라니까.)

"Anyway, please take care of her. If you take care of her, I can send her with confidence."

"No, who's taking her? I don't need her. I can't be watching a baby at this age."

"Isn’t my daughter older?"

"Age doesn't matter."

"……."

Tang Gun-ak stared at Chung Myung with a dejected face and opened his mouth.

"You asked me to teach you medicine, didn't you?"

"That's the end of the story! You're not trying to blackmail me with that here, are you?"

"So-so is an expert on that area."

"……What?"

Tang Gun-ak slightly distorted his face.

"What So-so has learned from the family is just some of Neigong, some of the dagger techniques and Qing Gong, not the secret art."

"No wonder she was so fast."

"And she learned medicine. Because there's nothing else to learn. Most of the family's medical practices were passed down to her. I'd say he's the best disciple of the Head of Medicine Hall. It is to the point the Head of Medicine Hall personally suggested handing her over to Medicine Hall instead sending her off marriage."

"Hehe. It was my wish to have the youngest (Samae)!"

"……."

"……."

Tang Gun-ak was seriously troubled.

‘Can I really trust this guy?'

The man named Chung Myung was a strange person the more he looked at him.

Sometimes he thinks that he should not trust this man even if he dies, even though he is the most reliable person in the world.

"Of course, that's not enough."

"Of course, a promise is a promise. Whether to invite Mount Hua disciples to the Tang Family or send members of the Tang Family to Mount Hua, I will teach the medicine properly. So-so is only helpful for that."

"Yes."

Chung Myung nodded with a pleased smile.

"As soon as you leave, I'll take my family member and So-so to Mount Hua. And I'm going to meet the Sect Leader, explain the situation to him, and then ask for Soso."

"Are you going to go yourself?"

"The person who wants to be friends can't send a subordinate."

"Hmmm."

Chung Myung had a strange smile.

"It sounds like you really want to be friends."

"Can't I?"

"No way."

Chung Myung shrugs.

Rather, it was something he had hoped for. The Tang Family itself is a good ally. No, rather, it is too much for the current Mount Hua.

In addition, isn't there a part that connects him to Tang Family? The old relationship that Chung Myung personally cherished.

"I will say to them to delay the departure for a day. I'll join you tomorrow and go to Yunnan."

"Oh, it was long. We should have gone much faster."

"May I ask why you go to Yunnan?"

"It's a secret."

"Enough to hide from friends?"

"I'll let you know if the Sect Leader approves."

Tang Gun-ak smirked.

By what means could the Mount Hua Sect Leader in Shaanxi give a permit?

"In the end, I'll have to go to Mount Hua and listen to it myself."

"Yes, Sect Leader will make the choice."

"Well."

Tang Gun-ak nodded. This is the end of all the work to be done between Chung Myung and him.

So now....

Tang Gun-ak stood up from his seat.

"Huh? What are you going to do?"

He bowed deeply to Chung Myung, who looked at him with puzzled eyes.

"I owe you too much."

"Ah. Why are you like this! I told you all about it last time."

"It was a greeting as Tang Gaju, and this was a greeting as Tang Gun-ak, a member of the Tang Family."

"……."

"Thank you. Thank you very much."

Chung Myung looked at Tang Gun-ak with slightly emotional eyes.

Tang Gun-ak smiled in response.

On the surface, he pretends to be full of greed, but as a result, Chung Myung has given a lot to the Tang family.

In fact, if he knows, it makes him feel warm inside...….

"Just words?"

Is … not possible.

Tang Gun-ak's face turns red.

"You have stolen and eaten so much, what else do you want!”

"You have to be thorough in your calculations to be a friend!"

"What kind of friend it is?"

"Hehe. Don't be angry and listen. It's really not a big deal."

"……why didn't you tell me beforehand if it wasn't something big."

"It's only possible right now."

"Huh?"

Tang Gun-ak narrowed his brow.

It didn't work then, but it works now?

This means that the Senate should lose its authority and that it will be possible only when Gaju takes full authority.

Then it wouldn't be a small one.

"What I want is……."

Chung Myung whispered quietly.

Tang Gun-ak's face was tinged with dismay.

"Wha- What do you want?"

"Just as you heard."

"……what are you going to use it for? Oh, no, it's obvious where to use it."

"It's not a big deal, is it?"

Tang Gun-ak distorted his face.

"As you may know, the poison of our sect cannot be taken out."

"I know, so it's only for now."

"Ugh."

Tang Gun-ak frowned.

And then he sighed. Now that the function of the Senate has been suspended, it seems possible somehow.

"You're really robbing me of the last emergency fund I have inside."

"You can do that to a friend who is about to go a long way."

"Yes."

Tang Gun-ak stared at Chung Myung and laughed.

"That's good, but I'll lose out on this, so I have a condition

"Well, you sure have a lot of conditions. What is it?"

Tang Gun-ak hesitated a little and then opened his mouth.

"Show me one more time."

"What?"

"The sword you unfolded on the duel stage at the time."

"……."

"Show me that one more time."

Chung Myung smiled quietly.

It's continuing.

People disappear, but the will continues.

What the ancestors have achieved throughout their lives is handed down to future generations. And as long as the will continues, the will of man does not disappear.

Right.

That is sect.

Chung Myung replied with a big smile.

"That's very difficult."

"Is it difficult?"

"If you feed me a lot of Sichuan cuisine, I'll show you!"

Tang Gun-ak smiles brightly.

"I'll feed you as much as you want. That's enough to make your stomach explode."

The two smiled and held each other's hands.
