Return of Mount Hua Sect

Chapter 365: In That Case, What Do I Do? (5)

Chapter 365: In That Case, What Do I Do? (5)

Nam Ja-Myung stared at Baek Cheon with cold eyes.

What do you mean?

I asked what you are doing?

He looked at Baek Cheon and smiled,

Look here, Young Disciple.

Yes.

Is there any reason for me to answer that?

At those brazen words, Baek Cheon was speechless.

Nam Ja-Myung smiled as he said,

Haha. It is because the people of Mount Hua continue to come here. I cannot really tell when to come out and when not to.

Baek Cheon frowned,

Do you mean to say that someones ability to use unilateral force to interfere is a term for rightful qualification?

Would I? If you are talking about the so-called qualifications, of course, it isnt something we can ignore.

Then why would you say that?

At Baek Cheons words, the man smiled.

You are still a young disciple.

Dont you know that what you are saying now is as if I have committed some hidden sin?

That

Baek Cheon went silent.

I am the Gate leader of West Moon Gate, a sub-sect of Southern Edge. Is it possible for me to do such things in Xian?

His eyes turned to the crescent moon as he smiled,

Or maybe

Nam Ja-Myung smiled, looking at the disciples of Mount Hua.

The disciples of Mount Hua seem to be saying that I am persecuting civilians? That is disappointing.

Baek Cheon bit his lip.

This man

If he had responded without thinking thoughtfully, he would have given them a chance to oppose the Huayoung Gate openly.

Because it may seem like they were driving the Gate leader of West Moon Gate into a corner in broad daylight.

So he had to be careful with every word

But.

Eik!

Baek Cheon looked back in surprise as Chung Myung slowly moved forward

What is he doing?

Baek Cheon desperately looked to Yoon Jong and Jo Gul, who only looked equally troubled.

There are eyes watching us. How do we stop him?

Still, he has to be stopped!

But before they could do anything, Nam Ja-Myung spoke,

Oh. It is an honor to meet Mount Huas Divine Dragon directly. I feel like this is something I can be proud of in front of future generations?

It was all exaggerated sarcasm. Any person would usually stiffen at those words, but Chung Myung, his reactions were different.

Hehe. Why go that far? Making people feel all shy.

Nam Ja-Myung looked at Chung Myung with blank eyes.

Do you not know what sarcasm is?

No, it could not be.

There could be idiots who were strong. But an idiot with such strength could never exist. In order for a person to master a martial art, they needed to have a certain level of understanding.

To say that Mount Huas Divine Dragon, who was famous for being strong, was also stupid was no different from saying that a scholar with lots of money was stupid.

But

Did he really like it?

He looked at Chung Myung again, wondering if he didnt understand sarcasm.

But no matter how he looked, it felt like he didnt care. If that expression of humility and pride was all acting, then it was better for strange actors everywhere to just quit their jobs right then.

Haha.

Such an incomprehensible person.

He coughed, trying to hold onto his expression.

Right. What are you curious about, Mount Huas Divine Dragon?

Well, I am well aware that the wonderful Southern Edges sub-sect member cannot do anything that goes against their agreement. However, you can surely tell us what the situation now is.

However, in spite of trying to look calm, he ended up frowning all the way to his brows.

As I said before, is there any reason I need to explain it to you people?

There is no reason not to explain either

Uh?

Chung Myung shrugged,

If we can be honest here, there is nothing you cannot say. So I dont know why you are so against saying it. And

As he spoke, he glanced around; the people who had gathered little by little had begun to turn into a small crowd.

It doesnt seem like we are the only ones curious as to what this situation is?

At those words, Nam Ja-Myung frowned.

The people who gathered were looking at him and the fallen person, each of them with an expression that said they had to know, and a few bad rumors had already begun to spread.

Normally he wouldnt care about this, but things werent going well now. At a time like this, he couldnt give up such a position to a disciple of Mount Hua.

Nam Ja-Myung gestured to the person who had fallen down.

He is someone who borrowed a lot of money from the West Moon Gate.

money?

At those words, Baek Cheon frowned without realizing it.

He thought that there would be some huge plot, but this was too vulgar for him to even understand.

So you are asking for it back?

Yes.

that harshly? How can a person who is the leader of West Moon Gate persecute people like they belong to the back street?

Hehehe.

However, Nam Ja-Myung laughed, making Baek Cheon frown.

Why are you laughing?

Is it not funny?

What do you mean?

There was a smirk on his face.

How can it not be funny when people who dared to come all the way into Xian to earn a little money and demonstrate their sword techniques, something no prestigious sect would ever do, and talk about money in such a way?

At those words, Baek Cheons face turned slightly red.

Clearly, what the guy said wasnt wrong.

I do not know how it will sound to the ears of the Taoist who trains in the mountains, but money is a pretty big problem for those living in our world.

Baek Cheon bit his lip at those words.

But this!

Well, that is right.

But then Chung Myung interrupted Baek Cheon and said,

But I definitely think that it is a bit extreme for a person who came to get money. Unless the Gate leader was playing around with money which is huge, then you must know him.

Oh. You have sharp eyes.

Nam Ja-Myungs eyes widened as he looked at Chung Myung.

He is someone who cannot be controlled.

He looked like an idiot before, but now he was speaking cleverly. Thanks to that, he didnt have to speak in circles.

Of course, I know him well. And that is why I lent him the money.

And it seems like he hasnt repaid the money for quite a while, seeing you come out like this.

No.

Uh?

He shrugged his shoulders.

It wasnt just a while since I lent him the money, but it wasnt so short for my patience to be cut off. I am a much kinder person than you think.

Then why?

Why not hear from the man himself?

Nam Ja-Myung pointed to the fallen man.

Yu Yiseol suddenly took the side of the fallen man and supported him, but the man still dropped like he was unconscious.

Ah!

At that moment, shock and exclamations broke out.

What?

T-that person

Yoon Jongs face contorted.

the one who brought his child to Huayoung Gate.

Hm?

Chung Myung and Baek Cheon went stiff.

It was clear what was happening. Baek Cheon glared at the man, who just chuckled softly.

Why? You want to blame me?

Nam Ja-Myung shook his head.

Look. I am not thick-headed. And I lent him money and grain, didnt I?

It is this man who broke our pact first.

His eyes turned cold.

To put disgrace on the Southern Edge sect and let his son enter a sub-sect of Mount Hua. Even animals know grace. Arent these mans actions worse than that of animals?

Yoon Jong bit his lip.

So, how much money did he borrow?

Oh, is Mount Hua going to pay it back?

Nam Ja-Myung thought it was funny.

Fine. That isnt bad either. But is that fine?

His creepy voice said,

How many more people are there in Xian who have done the same thing?

And how many more benefited from the Southern Edge Sect and its sub-sects? I heard that Mount Hua recently got money, but can it afford all this?

This

As the head of the Gates in Xian and on behalf of Southern Edge, I intend to collect on our debts.

In this way?

What do you mean by in this way?

At the shameless words, Baek Cheon felt horrible.

If there is a financial problem, it is right to bring in the officials to solve it. How can a person who leads Southern Edges sub-sect resolve matters in such a manner?

Hahaha. That is why I said that you are from the mountains

what did you just say?

Nam Ja-Myung looked at Baek Cheon as if he was pathetic.

Do you think it will end like this if they are taken to the officials?

The moment they are taken to the officials, then they will come to harass and take possessions. It seems like you have read about many martial arts but not enough about the world. The world isnt so easy.

He glanced up and down.

If I am wrong, the man will run to the officials once he wakes up. But think again. Would this man go?

Baek Cheon was furious enough to fight, but Chung Myung stopped him.

Chung Myung.

In a voice filled with anger, Baek Cheon called for Chung Myung, but instead of backing away, Chung Myung smiled as he said,

Do you think you can stop Huayoung gate like this?

Well, one can never know.

Nam Ja-Myung chuckled,

And dont get me wrong. I am not doing anything to block the path of Huayoung Gate. I am just talking about the morals of the people.

Morals of the people.

Chung Myung narrowed his eyes.

I dont think that is something that should come out of a person who does this.

Hehe. That is your opinion. I have a different idea.

That

I dont need to talk much. In the first place, we are not close enough to even talk to each other.

Nam Ja-Myung waved his hand like he didnt want to talk and looked at the man who barely came to his senses.

Joo Tae. I wont say much, but make sure to pay back the money borrowed by tomorrow.

L-Leader please

I will not say it twice.

The man called Joo Tae was begging despite his body being limp, but Nam Ja-Myung was looking down at him coldly.

And he said to Chung Myung,

I hope that Huayoung Gate prospers. I am being sincere.

With that last word, he chuckled and turned around.

The disciples of West Moon Gate, who were waiting, escorted the man closely. As they began to walk, they were walking straight as if they had achieved something.

Baek Cheon bit his lip.

look at those acts.

Sasuk.

Uh?

Jo Gul approached him with a worried face as he said,

This isnt normal.

Uh?

Everyone looked suspiciously at their reaction, and he sighed as he continued,

People are normally afraid of warriors. Yet, there was only one reason they lived with them. It is because they have a belief that the disciples of a prestigious sect would never strike them first, especially ordinary people, without a reason.

right.

But now, the Southern Edge sect has crossed the line. If this happens, then the people of Xian will be terrified. Normally when such things happen, the main sect would handle them, but now Southern Edge has closed itself off.

right.

This was definitely not a common situation.

The most annoying thing was that money was involved now. If something happened through force, it could be solved by force. However, a problem with money can never be solved with force.

We will have to discuss it with Elder.

Baek Cheon, who made up his mind, looked at Chung Myung.

But he was strangely patient today.

Normally, his sword would have already been in the guys throat halfway before all this happened, but today, he didnt even talk much.

Chung Myung. What are

Sasuk.

uh?

Sasuk, take the kids and go. I have a place to stop by.

Where are you going?

Clothes shopping. I need to stop there.

A clothes shop? Why suddenly?

Chung Myung didnt even answer and moved, and Baek Cheons face turned blue in an instant.

Yah! Get that one!

At his cry, the disciples of Mount Hua attacked Chung Myung without question, and Chung Myung began to struggle,

No! Wait! I said a clothing store! Why are you doing this!

You are trying to get those black clothes again! No, you jerk! This isnt something to be solved like that!

Is there another way to solve this?! Just let go of me! When the person causing the problem disappears, the problem goes away too!

Ah well, that can definitely not happen!

Baek Cheon rushed to Chung Myung and grabbed him,

If that man collapses now, who will people suspect? No! No! This is a no! Monk Hae Yeon! Dont just watch, help us!

Uh?

Hurry!

Hae Yeon, who was standing still, didnt even know what was happening and rushed to press him down.

Calm down! Calm down!

Ughhh.

Chung Myung growled like a beast as he glared at Nam Ja-Myung, who was already out of sight.

Right. Lets try it out once.

Right

Lets see this out till the end.
