Chwap, chwap, chwap, chwap!

Chwap, chwap, chwap, chwap!

The sound of food entering the mouth resonated cheerfully.

Glug, glug, glug!

Glug, glug, glug!

The sound of alcohol falling down his throat also flowed out like a song in sync.

It's nothing special in particular. It's a common sight in Mount Hua.

Except that the place where the sound comes out is not a restaurant, but Sect Leader’s residence, and it is not Chung Myung, but Baek Cheon and others who are drinking alcohol like water.

"Kuahhh! It felt like I could live longer!"

"Sahyung! Sahyung! Give me a drink!"

"More meat."

There was a scene where the disciples of the Taoist Sect devoured alcohol and meat in front of the Sect Leader, but Hyun Jong, who was watching this, was filled with a smile of utmost satisfaction.

"Eat slowly. You’re going to upset your stomach."

As soon as the children came up to Mount Hua, Hyun Young quickly served the alcohol and meat he had been preparing every morning, just in case.

At first, they looked around, but there was no business one could do in front of hunger. After a couple of drinks, they let go of the waistband continued as if they were never had hesitated.

"Ugh, I'm a little full now."

"I told you to stop by an inn on the way!"

“We arrived and ate, so that’s okay.”

At that time, Hyun Young, who was pushing sweets into Chung Myung's mouth with a familiar hand gesture, asked.

"Should we get you another meal?"

"No, Elder-nim."

“We’re fine now.”

“Yes, yes. If you're hungry, there's more rice in the kitchen, so eat as much as you want. Tsk tsk. It's a pity that it is are in the middle of the day.”

Hyun Young, who looked at everyone with pitying eyes, clicked his tongue.

As the disciples seemed to have filled their stomachs, Hyun Jong quietly opened his mouth.

“Then, did you manage the work in the Ice Clan well?”

"WE have a lot to tell."

Baek Cheon, who secretly hid the bottle behind his back, opened his mouth with a serious face.

"It's going to be a long story."

“Then let’s hear it tomorrow. Get some rest first.”

"No, I don't think it's something that can be put off. I'll tell now." 

Baek Cheon took a deep breath and slowly opened his mouth.

"In the North Sea……."

The long story flowed out for a plenty of time. The story of what they saw when they arrived in the North Sea and the circumstances of the Ice Clan. Even the ones when they fought Magyo.

It was a long story that made the listener realize that they had gone through so many things.

And when Baek Cheon's story was finally over, the faces of the Elders were as cold as they could be.

"……Magyo….”

Unlike Hyun Jong, who speechless, Hyun Young's face began to boil with anger that seemed excessive.

"These crazy bastards!"

Soon, a huge roar erupted.

"Magyo! Do you aware what existence Magyo is when you waged a war against them! What are you going to do if you die!"

"…We weren't in a position to escape by ourselves. The situation in the North Sea is so serious...….”

"Who cares about the North Sea, you punks! What in the world is more precious than your life! And who do you think would praise you if you had an accident?"

"Saje, calm down."

"Do I look like I'm going to calm down now!"

"Calm down."

When Hyun Sang stepped in, Hyun Young closed his mouth with a look of disapproval. However, his face was still full of unresolved anger.

Mount Hua's disciples, who were struck by lightning, bowed their heads. They couldn't even make an excuse because they knew what Hyun Young was saying.

"Baek Cheon-ah."

"Yes, Sect Leader."

"As the Sect Leader of Mount Hua, I must praise you and your group."

“…….”

“How can I criticize you for doing your best for the North Sea without losing your sense of Righteousness, even in such a remote place? As much as Mount Hua claims to be of Righteous Faction, I will have to praise and reward you."

"Sect Leader……."

"But I can't bear to do that."

Hyun Jong shook his head slowly.

"My feelings are no different from Hyun Young's. If you were to get hurt there, I would have had to live with regret for my decision for the rest of my life. Even if I'm told I don't deserve to be the Sect Leader of the Great Mount Hua, I won't praise you for this."

"I'm sorry, Sect Leader."

Baek Cheon said in a heavy voice and lowered his head. Hyun Jong closed his eyes and nodded.

"You've been through a lot."

“…….”

"You must have had a hard time."

As he understood Hyun Jong's feelings in the words, Baek Cheon’s eyes somehow warmed up.

He would feel great if he had been praised for doing a great job, but he wouldn't have felt the same way as he now.

Mount Hua's disciples now felt rewarded for all the trouble they had in the North Sea with that one word from Hyun Jong.

"I told you to go to the North Sea, but you went to the lair of demons!"

But Hyun Young said with a face that still couldn't hide his annoyance.

"I should have said no when that damn Shaolin fake monk was proposed this!"

"That fake monk?”

"That Shaolin Bangjang Bop Jeong or whatever!"

"Tongue, Hyun Young!"

Hyun Jong was surprised and looked around Hye Yeon.

"Watch your mouth! We're the only ones here..."

"Ah, it's all right."

"Huh?"

Chung Myung, who was silent the whole time, grinned.

“This one (?) is fine. Please feel free to curse.”

“…….”

"He also cursed."

"Whe- When did I ever say that, Siju!"

Hye Yeon looked back in panic, asking for help, but Mount Hua's disciples merely spoke of what they had seen and heard.

"I heard that, too."

"Me, too."

"Ughh, it was so harsh.….”

“…….”

Hye Yeon smiled with an expression of injustice. But other Mount Hua's disciples naturally trembled when they saw him like that.

Hyun Sang and Hyun Jong faced each other and nodded their heads.

'That'll be fine.'

'I'm sure it'll be fine.'

After visiting the North Sea, the relationship between Hye Yeon and the disciples seemed to have deepened.

When the problem, which was not a problem, was solved neatly, Hyun Young shouted again.

“They said to investigate it since they saw Magyo’s trace, but isn't this like pushing a person into a cave full of demons! Who would have set foot there if they knew the North Sea was like this! These people need to have their Daeungjeon Hall (Great Hero Hall) set on fire to get their act together!”

"A- Amitabha! Amitabha!”

Hye Yeon chanted frantically as if to purify the words he had heard in his ears. But even so, he didn’t deny those words either.

"Sect Leader."

Then Hyun Sang opened his mouth.

"This is not normal."

"Hmm."

“No matter how much they are not the main force of the Demonic Cult and are those who broke away from the Cult, the fact that they are at the level of plotting the resurrection of the Heavenly Demon must mean that the other branch of Demonic Cults has also gathered enough strength.”

"I suppose so."

"Fortunately, our children blocked their plans, but if everything had been done as they wished, there might have been another great storm in Kangho."

"Humm."

Hyun Jong nodded with a heavy face.

Who else knows the horror of the name Magyo better than Mount Hua?

"This is not something we should discuss among ourselves. This is the work of the entire Kangho."

"Yes, I think so, too."

"First of all, let Shaolin know about this and ask them to take measures."

With his eyes closed, Hyun Jong chanted shortly, raised his head and looked at the disciples in front of him.

"Yes, I understand. Let's talk about the rest after a good rest. You must be tired, so go ahead and rest for today."

"Yes, Sect Leader."

When Baek Cheon lowered his head and stood up, everyone left their seats and followed suit.

"Chung Myung, you stay for a while."

"Me?"

"Yes."

"Okay."

When Chung Myung sat back in his seat, Baek Cheon went out soon after watching Chung Myung with an anxious face.

“Hmm.”

The sound of the door closing was heard, and Hyun Jong, who was watching Chung Myung, who was left alone, let out a voice. Then he opened his mouth to say something.

At that moment, however, Hyun Young suddenly rushed to Chung Myung like a thunderbolt and grabbed his cheek, and stretched it to the left and right.

"This guy did something unreasonable again! Aigoo, this punk!”

"Ueawa... It hurts."

"This little! This little witty punk! This!"

"It hurts……."

"Hngg!"

Hyun Young, who let go of Chung Myung's reddened cheek, frowned at him with a disapproving face. Then he said it in a stern voice.

"Don't ever do this stupid thing again! Do you understand?"

“Can’t I do whatever I want?”

“This guy is still!”

Looking at Hyun Young, who is about to overturn his eyes and hit his cheek, Chung Myung sneaked back.

Eventually, Hyun Sang sighed and stopped his Saje.

"Stop nagging and sit down. I think Sect Leader holding Chung Myung because he had something to say."

"Yes, Sahyung."

When Hyun Young returned to his seat, Hyun Jong smiled at Chung Myung.

"You must had a hard time.”

"Trouble, what trouble?"

"Right, then what do you think of your relationship with the Ice Clan?"

"It won't be a problem for a while.”

Chung Myung said in a clear voice.

“A contract is also a contract, but first of all, we built trust. As long as they know that we will always try to protect them, there will be no problems with our relationship.”

Hyun Jong nodded with a happy face.

"Getting profits is small thing, but getting people's hearts is a great thing. You have really gained something great.”

At the words of praise for Chung Myung, Hyun Young's face was filled with a smile.

"Ah, that's how Chung Myung is."

Hyun Jong also nodded as if he agreed with Hyun Young's response.

"Your trip to the North Sea was definitely meaningful, but the situation seems to be extraordinary. Above all, it is important to catch the rudder (방향타(方向舵)) well on the sea where the wind and waves are raging."

"I think so, too."

"So I ask of you."

He looked at Chung Myung with calm eyes and asked.

"What should we do from now on?”

“…….”

"Speak frankly."

Chung Myung was silent with an uncharacteristically troubled face. While he was organizing his thoughts for a long time, everyone waited for him without urging him.

Finally, Chung Myung raised his head and looked at Hyun Jong.

"Sect Leader."

"Yes."

"I can't do anything by myself."

“…….”

"I couldn't have done anything without Sasuk and Sahyung this time.”

"Hum."

"The same goes for Mount Hua. In a situation where we do not know when the Demonic Cult will reveal itself again, it is difficult to prepare for tribulation with our own strength.”

"…Heavenly Comrade Alliance."

"Yes."

Chung Myung nodded.

“We need to formalize the Heavenly Comrade Alliance, which currently is still only words, and weave each other tightly. The bigger the ship, the safer it is.”

"That's unfortunate."

Hyun Jong looked at Chung Myung with strange eyes.

Originally, Chung Myung went to the North Sea to have the existing prestigious sect, starting with Shaolin, recognize the existence of the Heavenly Comrade Alliance.

However, the necessity of the alliance has grown after visiting the North Sea, so how can it not be called unfortunate?

“We should also send a letter to the Tang Family to wrap up the issue regarding the opening ceremony."

"Yes, that would be great. I have a few things to talk about separately from the Tang Family."

Hyun Jong shook his head slowly.

"Mount Hua, too, must not stop advancing. Although Mount Hua’s reputation is growing, we are still weak.”

"That's right."

“It is difficult.”

When Hyun Jong become contemplative, Chung Myung peeked and opened his mouth.

"Well, it's not that hard."

"Yes?"

“Still, everyone is working hard. We just have to do what we're doing now. It's slow, but it's the surest way."

Hyun Jong looks at Chung Myung silently. A warm air lingered in his benevolent eyes.

'I'm glad.'

Chung Myung has always been a busy child.

Looking at him from the side, Chung Myung drove himself and the surroundings to the point where Hyun Jong couldn't understand why he was so urgent.

However, such Chung Myung is now discussing slowness in front of them.

‘No, it's not slow.’

This is trust.

Trust that Mount Hua and his Sahyugn will not stop going forward, even if he doesn't yell and nitpick.

This was not the case for Chung Myung before he left for the North Sea.

"Will you lead?"

"We're going together."

The two people who shared meaningless rhetoric question looked at each other and smiled.

"You've also gained a lot from the North Sea."

"It was just cold.”

"Hahaha."

Hyun Jong, who burst into laughter, had a benevolent smile on his lips.

"Yes, that's enough."

Once again, the laughter of Hyun Jong rang out of the hall.

And…….

At the entrance to the ridge of Mount Hua, where spring's warm wind is blowing after a long winter, the first plum blossoms of the year have quietly opened their buds.

Spring was coming to Mount Hua.

A very warm spring.
