Chapter 370

"Oh, I see."

This time, Hyun Young nodded with a smile.

"Elder-nim, I know that Mount Hua didn’t have well feeling toward us. We must’ve not worthy for suddenly ask help since just until just a while ago, we were shouting you guys to leave Xian."

"You know very well."

"……."

Danbyong Nip looked at the intervening Chung Myung with blank eyes.

"What?"

"N- No."

He coughed repeatedly and blew away the awkwardness, then he desperately managed his expression and continued to talk again.

"But Elder-nim. Please don't dwell on personal matters and think of the world. They are Myriad Man House, the Great Five Evil Sect. What would the world say if Xian fell into the hands of the Great Five Evil Sect?"

Then Chung Myung tilted his head and said,

"Southern Edge Sect is such a jerk?"

"……."

A bright smile followed.

"Is that right?"

"That... uh, it could be..."

"Dan Munju!"

"Keuhum!"

Nam Jamyong's scolding Danbyong Nip quickly caught the spirit that was about to leave.

'Damn it, he keeps cutting me off.'

Somehow, he couldn't ignore him because he cut in with such a bright face.

Nam Jamyong took over Danbyong Nip's words instead.

"That…… of course, Southern Edge Sect will be criticized. But as long as Mount Hua is in Xian, Mount Hua cannot escape the arrow! Do you mind if the whole world criticized Mount Hua for its brutality?"

The last word was loud enough to almost roar.

And the words certainly worked, so Mount Hua's disciples looked at each other silently.

"That……."

The evidence was that Baek Chun, who had been silent, tilted his head with a solemn look. Nam Jamyong's face brightened up at the sight.

But then Baek Chun looked at Yoon Jong and said,

“Does it matter?"

Then the disciples around him nodded and sympathized.

"Yes, it's nothing but criticism. We didn't get much attention until recently."

"…Would people care so much about Mount Hua? I heard we became famous, but I can't believe it."

"……."

Danbyong Nip was speechless and stared blankly at the disciples.

"The- The world will condemn you."

"If it's a criticism, it's an insult."

"What's so great about being cursed?"

"Even now, I still swear every day. To that damn bastard."

"Right."

Both Danbyong Nip and Nam Jamyong shut up.

'No, what the hell is going on with these guys?'

Isn't Mount Hua also a prestigious sect?

Of course, just because they claim to be a Righteous sect does not mean that everyone is seeking justice.

Only young children with many dreams think that way. The world is always harsher than one’s thinks.

'But aside from being good, isn't there such a thing as a face?'

If Evil Sect came in and rushed at Southern Edge Sect's subsidiary sect but they doesn't come forward, there will be backlash.

"Are you sure you don't mind if Mount Hua's face falls to the ground like this?"

Chung Myung grinned when he heard the word.

"You seem to have misunderstood something, but this is not about losing face, it's about saving face."

"…Yes?"

"No matter how much Mount Hua is, we cannot ignore Southern Edge Sect's influence on Xian. Should I say that it's a little embarrassing to get involved in what's happening on someone else's land?"

"……."

'Someone else's land.'

Danbyong Nip's body flinched.

The phrase “that other person’s land” land is what Nam Jamyong said here the other day. Didn't  Nam Jamyong say that Xian is the land of the Southern Edge Sect and that he would not give a single pyeong to Mount Hua?

That Taoist is shameful enough to remember the word and return it now.

"Tha- That’s...."

"Ei. Don't worry."

Before Danbyong Nip could say anything, Chung Myung smiled brightly again.

"What kind of sect Southern Edge is! Myriad Man……. I think that is, Myriad...What's the name of the place?"

"Everyone! Everyone!"

"Ah, right. How can Myriad Man House do anything to Southern Edge Sect? Don't worry too much. Everything's going to be fine."

"……."

‘No, why would you say that?’

‘Are you in a position to say that?’

Danbyong Nip looked at Nam Jamyong with resentful eyes, knowing that he couldn't refute at all.

‘Why are you making shit of your muzzle?'

Feeling a strong resentment in the eyes, Nam Jamyong avoided the gaze with an uncomfortable look.

In fact, it was unfair to Nam Jamyong as well.

‘How can I expect it to be like this?'

Yesterday, when he pushed to Huayin Sect here, the guy who laughed at how exhilarating it was, shifted the blame like this because the situation has changed a bit.

No matter how harsh the world is, how can he do this?

"That……."

But Nam Jamyong, who was about to protest, closed his eyes tightly.

This is not the time to argue about this one by one. If they don't get help from Mount Hua, Southern Edge Sect's subsidiary sect is really over.

"Elder-nim! Please don't do that and help us this once. Don't you feel sorry for the people of Xian?"

Then Hyun Young smiled warmly and said,

"You don't have to worry about that. From today on, we are going to step up and protect the people of Xian. Shouldn’t Murim's work didn’t bother civilians?"

"The- Then…….?"

"We will protect the people well, so Munju-nim should not worry and take good care of your own sect."

"E- Elder!"

Hyun Young smiled at Nam Jamyong, who shouted with a broken face and looked back at Mount Hua's disciples and beckoned.

"The guest is leaving."

"Yes!"

Baek Chun and other disciples of Mount Hua rushed forward and surrounded Nam Jamyong and Danbyong Nip. Then began to push them out of the gate.

"E- Elder-nim! You can't do this! Elder-nim!"

"Mount Hua! Think of Mount Hua's reputation…… Elder-nim!"

Hyun Young poked his ears with a sour face.

"Aaaakh! You people who will be punished by Heaven!"

"These Evil Sect-like people!"

Eventually, bad words poured out, but Hyun Young shrugged with a look as if dog were barking.

Soon after, Nam Jamyong and Danbyong Nip went out the door and Huayin Sect’s gate was tightly closed.

"Tsk."

Hyun Young frowned and clicked his tongue.

"People have no choice but to change their position depending on the situation, but it's so shameless. I can't believe they're here to ask for help."

Then he peeked back at Chung Myung.

"I kicked him out, as you said, but what are you going to do? This is not something to drag on."

"Because of our face?"

"No. If this enters Sect Leader’s ears, he might run barefoot all the way to Xian."

"……."

‘Oh, that’s right.’

‘You didn't think of that.’

"It's a relief that Sect Leader didn't come to Xian."

"I think so, too."

Things wouldn't have worked out so easily with Hyun Jong. As soon as he heard the word “Civilians”, his eyes would have been half-overturned.

"Don't worry. It won't take long."

"And there is something right about what they say. I'm afraid it's going to hurt the people of Xian."

"That's right."

"If there is a rumor that civilians have been hurt, Sect Leader may lock me in his room and read me moral scriptures for three days and nights."

"…I'd rather be hit."

"That's what I'm saying!"

Seeing Hyun Young's face heat up in an instant, it seems that he has experienced something similar.

Hyun Young, who had been vigorous for a while, looked at Chung Myung and said.

There was a subtle uneasiness in his expression.

"I did what you said, but honestly, I don't think it's such a bad thing to hold hands with Southern Edge Sect. Myriad Man House is one of the most powerful of Evil Sects in the world. Even if it's just one of their forces, most small and medium-sized clans can be swept away overnight."

"It certainly looked like that."

"But is it really okay? If we don't join hands with them, we may have to deal with them only with Huayin Sect."

"Hmm."

Chung Myung said, glancing back.

"Children grow up fighting."

"Huh?"

The grin was only nonchalant.

"I just thought they needed a proper hands-on experience. There's a limit to spar or competition."

Hyun Young burst into laughter

‘Don't you know how strong Myriad Man House is?'

No, that must not be the case.

Although he is often misunderstood because of his erratic behavior, Chung Myung is never a dull child. Rather, he is overly intelligent and looks different from ordinary people.

There is no way that Chung Myung does not know the meaning of confronting Myriad Man House.

"Will it be okay? It could be dangerous."

At that word, Chung Myung looked back at Baek Chun and the other disciples with a solemn face.

"You're not going to die, are you?"

"……."

"……."

At the words, the faces of the Mount Hua disciples paled.

Either way, Chung Myung murmured in thought.

"Hmm. Southern Edge Sect, Southern Edge Sect …."

Come to think of it, the situation in which Myriad Man House was pushing into Xian was absurd.

‘To hell with Great Five Evil Sect.'

In the past, when he was active as Plum Blossom Sword Saint, Evil Sect under the world had dried up.

But in just a hundred years, they've become strong enough to use that title?

"I'll have to deal with them both at once. Some filthy Evil Sect bastards are arrogantly trying to spit in other people's quarters!"

"You said it was Southern Edge Sect’s subsidiary sect’s lang."

"Oh, did I?"

‘I don't remember.’
