Shaolin monk, who saw it, couldn't hold back his anger and shout.

"State your affiliation!"

Mount Hua's disciples hesitated and only looked around, and in the meantime, Baek Chun, who had groomed himself, stepped forward and gave up.

"We are disciples of Mount Hua Sect. Unintentionally...…."

" Mount Hua Sect?"

Even before the words were finished, the old monk cut the word and came in.

"Where is the Sect Leader of Mount Hua Sect? I'll hold him accountable for this!"

Baek Chun's face hardened.

There is nothing to say that the accident was true, but their reaction is more intense than he thought.

"Great Monk. We're...…."

"No need to say! Where is the Sect Leader?"

The old monk's face turned red.

"How did they manage the disciples that made the sects so brittle? Do you mean you can’t even deal with Mount Hua? What a weak sect...."

The old monk who was talking tilts his head.

"Weak…….Weak…….huh?"

And his wrinkled eyes grew bigger and bigger.

Seeing those who were sadly scattered after being hit with excitement, he couldn't stand the dismay and groaned.

"…Hainan?"

"……."

"N-No. Hainan Sect...….weak? Huh?"

The bewildered gaze goes back and forth between Mount Hua and Hainan.

Then the disciples of both sect bowed their heads.

Everyone bowed their heads together, but the meaning contained in it was completely different.

Mount Hua's disciples look like a child caught picking on a friend.….

‘I'm going crazy.’

'How can I carry my face around now?'

The faces of Hainan Sect’s disciples were red with shame.

The situation is so clear that there is no excuse.

At this point, it would be more comfortable to end up getting beaten up.

Since Shaolin witnessed this situation, isn't everyone in Shaolin going to know this soon?

"…The Hainan Sect.........against Mount Hua? Hainan Sect?"

The old monk looked confused as if this situation could not be sorted out in his head.

What kind of place is Hainan Sect?

It is a prestigious sect that occupies a seat in the Ten Great Sect.

Of course, Hainan occupies the last place in the Ten Great Sect, but that's why the big name of the Ten Great Sect does not fade.

It can be seen from the fact that all the sects in the world is making efforts at this time to get to the bottom of such a group.

But such Hainan Sect...….

‘Defeated by Mount Hua?'

No, it's not even a defeat.

The eyes of Hainan's disciples are swelling. There were a number of people who couldn't get out of their position despite how much they were struggling.

Mount Hua's disciples, on the other hand, look embarrassed but don't really see any injuries.

‘With common sense, isn't it normal for the two sects to face each other and the results to be reversed?'

It's a battle between Hainan,  a member of the Ten Great Sect, and Mount Hua, who is now declining and has only the name left.

If someone gathers Kangho people and makes a bet, the one who bets on Mount Hua will still give the sound of a madman.

But how did this result come out?

"Sahyung."

"Um? Ummm? Oh, right."

The old monk is startled.

‘Now is not the time to think about this.'

The important thing is not that Mount Hua won, but that they fought in Shaolin's place.

"Hmm."

The old monk, who roused the atmosphere by coughing heavily, looks at Baek Chun with a firm face again.

"I'll ask you again. Where is Mount Hua's Sect Leader now?"

It was just as Baek Chun sighed low and tried to answer.

"Here I am."

The eyes of those in the hall all at once returned to the place where the sound was heard.

Hyun Jong was walking towards their side with a stiff face.

He was followed by Hyun Sang and Hyun Young. Hyun Young seemed rather at a loss.

The old monk bowed his head as soon as he saw Hyun Jong.

"Greeting, Mount Hua Sect Leader. My name is Gong Hwa (공화(空和)), and I belong to Shaolin's Elder." (I don’t familiar with Shaolin standing. The raw is 계율원에)

"You were the Great Monk (대사셨구려) Gong Hwa. I'm Mount Hua's Sect Leader Hyun Jong."

"The word Great Monk is too much for me. Just call me Gong Hwa."

Hyun Jong nodded with a heavy face.

Normally, they would have exchanged words of blessing, but now it was best to choose what to say with a firm face.

Hyun Jong turned his head gently and looked at Mount Hua's disciples.

Then the heads of the Mount Hua disciples fell down like lightning.

Looking at the disciples desperately turning away from his gaze, a pained sound flowed out of Hyun Jong's mouth.

"Hngg.”

‘You're going to break your neck if you keep bowing down like that, you punk!’

'How!'

It's not a day, it's not even half-day, it was just a half-hour. How could they have had an accident without being able to withstand only half an hour!

‘The dust wouldn't have sunk in the botch you threw in the place!' (The raw is '처소에 던져 놓은 봇짐에 먼지도 안 가라앉았겠다!')

Hyun Jong is also a man of conscience.

He threw these bandits in the middle of Shaolin and did not expect any accidents.

But!

It's only been half an hour, and they’re making such a quick and neat mess already!

"Ugh."

What can he do? This is the karma of being the Sect Leader.

With a deep sigh, Hyun Jong looked at Gong Hwa with an ashamed face.

"I'm sorry. I will discipline my kids."

"Sorry is not the end of it, Sect Leader."

Gong Hwa hung up coldly.

"This is Shaolin, and they have sinned inside Shaolin. This is not a matter of words. We must send them all to the Revelation Hall and be condemned." (It is from the raw mtl. If you have any suggestion, I would love to hear it. The raw is 계율원으로)

At the unexpected words, Hyun Jong's face was visibly hardened.

"Did you say Revelation Hall?"

"That's right."

"Isn't Revelation Hall in charge of Shaolin's punishment? But how do my disciples of Mount Hua have to be there?"

"That's the law of Shaolin."

Hyun Jong clenched his teeth.

"I can't take that as the Sect Leader of Mount Hua Sect."

"Sect Leader!"

Gong Hwa looked at Hyun Jong with surprised eyes.

"Are you really sure being like this?"

"I don't care what you say. I can't send these children to Shaolin's Revelation Hall."

Gong Hwa's beard trembled.

"Are you trying to ignore Shaolin now?"

"I don't know why it's like that, but if this is a disregard against Shaolin, I'll have to live with it."

"Se-Sect Leader!"

Surprised Hyun Sang shouted out loud without realizing it.

He can't believe Hyun Jong won’t back down against Shaolin. This was never going to happen.

Gong Hwa was surprised by Hyun Jong's remarks and couldn't help but stare.

"……How can you go this far? It's obvious that they're at fault!"

"If my child has done something wrong, it is natural to punish them severely."

"Then why?"

"But it is not Shaolin who determines what sin has been committed and what punishment corresponds to it, but me, the Sect Leader of Mount Hua! I don't hand over the disposition of my disciples to Shaolin."

It was a firm word.

Mount Hua's disciples look at Hyun Jong with trembling eyes.

Looking at the confident back makes them feel proud.

And at the same time, they belatedly realized what they had done.

‘I should've held it in.'

‘Why is the heat (emotional) going up?'

While everyone was dying of guilt,  Baek Chun, who was at the forefront, added even more weight.

He, who should have stopped the children, was rather raging.

'I am solely responsible for this.'

Baek Chun decided so and looked up.

And waited until the conversation between the two Elder was somewhat finished.

"Are you sure you want to come out like this? If Mount Hua decided to protect them, Shaolin has no choice but to ask Mount Hua for responsibility."

"Just as the fault of a child is the fault of the parents, the fault of the disciples is the fault of Mount Hua Sect. Of course it should be!"

"Hmm! Amitabha. If that's the case...!"

It was a moment when Gong Hwa, who expressed disapproval, was about to shout coldly.

"By the way."

"Huh?"

Gong Hwa and Hyun Jong's heads turn to one place at the same time.

One person is squatting down and looking their way.

Hyun Jong's eyes trembled.

'N-No!'

Chung Myung smiles slyly.

Really, like it's funny.

Anxiety crept in. Hyun Jong,  who thought he should run and cover his mouth right away, was about to take his foot off...….

Sreuk.

"Huh?"

Someone pulled his collar slightly.

When he turned around, Hyun Young was whispering and shaking his head.

'Let's leave it alone.'

‘But!’

‘Even if he caused an accident, isn't he always solve it himself?'

'Uh...'

Right, even if Chung Myung caused an accident,  he's sure to fix it...….

"Really?"

"……."

‘Did he ever fix it?’

‘Really?’

Hyun Jong's gaze vehemently turned to Chung Myung. But it's already too late to shut him up.

"I'm asking because I don't understand. Shi……. No, Monk."

Gong Hwa's eyebrows twitched.

"Who are you?"

"My name is Chung Myung."

"Chung Myung? Are you Mount Hua's third-class disciples?"

"Yes."

Gong Hwa's eyebrows twitched more intensely.

"Does Mount Hua's young disciple know no manners or laws? How could a third-class disciple come forward while someone is talking with the Sect Leader?"

"Shaolin's disciple is also talking to my Sect Leader. Why can't I, the third-class disciple of Mount Hua, talk to Shaolin's disciple?"

"……."

Gong Hwa's cheeks trembled.

If someone asked what the kid was talking about,

‘You're not in a position to talk to our Sect Leader either, why are you abusing your power?’

That's the answer.

'That damned.' (The raw is '저, 저 튀겨 죽일!')

Anger rose to the top of his head in an instant, but this is something he should never get angry about.

The moment he gets angry, the fierce words he's shown to Hyun Jong will come back as a knife.

"……right. What do you want to say?"

"So, again, I'm asking because I don't understand anything after listening to it."

"What don't you understand?"

Chung Myung tilted his head.

"You've been talking about sin since earlier."

"Huh?"

"What did we do wrong?"

"……."

Gong Hwa's eyes were colored with bewilderment.

"……what are you saying now?"

"What did we do wrong?"

Chung Myung asks as if he's really curious. Seeing a face that is clear and pure without even a shred of sarcasm... … .

‘Annoying.’ (The raw is '재수 없다.')

‘I really want to beat him up.'

'I'm sorry, monk.'

Instead, Mount Hua's disciples were more upset than Gong Hwa.

'Wha-What else is he trying to do?'

Confused Hyun Jong opened his mouth to fix the situation quickly, but unfortunately, Chung Myung was faster.

"He said that Revelation Hall would punish us, but in order to do so, you have to tell us what we have committed, aren't there any justifications for sending us there?"

"You saying you are innocent?"

"Yes, I think."

Gong Hwa screamed out loud.

"Is it no sin for fighting in Shaolin's ground?"

"Is there any difference if it’s in Shaolin's place?"

"What?"

Chung Myung even yawned and said casually.

"You've been saying Shaolin that and Shaolin this for a while. Is there anything special here? What's the difference between sparring and fighting in Shaolin?"

"……."

Gong Hwa shut up.

It's different. Of course it's different.

But it was something he could never say was different.

Especially in this situation.….

He glances around.

In no time, the crowd of spectators is waiting for his mouth to open. At such a time,

‘Of course, Shaolin's precinct is a sacred place, so it cannot be compared to the marketplace.' (The raw is 시장 바닥)

‘You want me to answer that?’

As a Buddhist, that's something he should never say.

"Of course, Shaolin's precinct is no different from the marketplace! But didn't you fight on a large scale without permission?"

"Yes. So why is that wrong?"

"…What the hell are you talking about?"

"Tsk tsk. You really don't understand."

Chung Myung pulled himself up with a groan. Then he stretched out his waist.

"Shaolin called us here."

"Yes, if you are invited, of course you have to be polite.…."

"Why did you call us?"

"…… hmm?"

"Why did you call us? Didn't you call us to fight?"

Gong Hwa opened his mouth wide.

"N-No, that's...…."

‘What the hell is this nonsense?’

"The reason we invited you is because of the Murim Competition.…."

"Yes, the Murim Competition. Isn't that a fight?"

"……."

Chung Myung grinned and said.

"The Murim Competition or something is the thing only the Sect Leader needs to participate in, but we came together to fight. So we fought, but I don't know why you're making such a fuss from a while ago that this is a big mistake."

"How can it be the same as that! That’s if formal sparring, and it's not a fight!"

"What's the difference?"

Chung Myung pushed forward without giving any room to refute.

"Sparring is a fight with a sword, and it's okay because Shaolin allowed it. We put down the sword and use our fists, but it doesn't work because Shaolin didn't allow it. This is what you're talking about, right? Right?"

"Uh……."

Gong Hwa shut up.

‘What does this make sense?'

It is absolute rubbish and sophistry.

But the bigger problem is that it's not really that wrong.

Sparring is a battle in which casualties are prepared to occur. In a way, the result may be more disastrous than this gang fight.

In what words should the organizers of such a competition criticize the current fight?

"Amitabha, Amitabha!"

Gong Hwa chants Buddha’s name in frustration.

"Mount Hua's disciples...…."

"Oh, wait a minute."

Chung Myung cuts off Gong Hwa's words again and slowly turns his head.

"What do you think?"

Everyone's eyes were drawn to one place along with him.

"Hm!"

And exclaimed. Before they knew it, the head of Shaolin, Bop Jeong, stood there.

"Amitabha Buddha."

Bop Jeong, who chanted Buddha’s name, said with a grin.

"There is nothing wrong with what Sodojang said."

Everyone opened their mouths in dismay at the sudden decision.
