Novel Return of Mount Hua Sect Chapter 993
The senior members of Mount Hua Sect gathered together and sat in Sect Leader’s temporary residence.
Although the seniors were just the elders, Un Generation, and Five Swords, in any case, these were the most core figures of the current Mount Hua.
“Why have you called us?”
“Why are you asking me that?”
In response to Hyun Young’s question, Hyun Sang shrugged his shoulders.
“Having called people here, where has Sect Leader gone?”
“That’s what I’m saying, why are you asking me?”
In the end, Hyun Young’s face is distorted with frustration.
“No, aren’t I asking this because it’s something Sahyung must know! Don’t you know what you’re doing? Even though you’re tailing Sect Leader around!”
“A- As if I have nothing to do, you idiot! I’m quite busy myself.”
“Yes?”
As Hyun Young rolled his eyes fiercely, Hyun Sang cleared his throat loudly with an embarrassed look on his face.
“...Is Finance Hall really busy?”
“Are we really busy? Really now?”
“...”
“If you occupy a manor and lay down, do you think food will automatically fall from the sky? Who do you think is responsible for feeding, washing, and putting these people to sleep? Will a snail wife do it for you?” (Of korean folktale.)
“Keu- Keuhum.”
Hyun Sang seemed to be speechless and slowly turned his head slightly. Once Hyun Young’s anger exploded, it did not quell easily.
“What did you say when we were coming to the Yangtze? You swore we wouldn’t get into fights!”
“No, that wasn’t me...”
“And then you go and get into fights as much as you can, tearing all your clothes! Suddenly you tell me to gather medicines because we have to treat people here! And then, what? Sell whatever grain we have left and then later tell me to prepare food for the kids because we’ll be staying here for a while?”
Hyun Young’s eyes began to overturn back in fury.
Hyun Sang was shocked and quickly tried to dissuade him.
“I- I’m not unaware of your efforts. It’s just that the situation has been so urgent...”
“Situation or whatever! If that’s the case, go somewhere far from here! Why set up camp right in front of those Ten Great Sects’ faces, making me worry about every single piece of clothing for the kids! If it weren’t for them, it wouldn’t matter if the kids ran around bare-bottomed!”
“Koheuheum!”
Hyun Sang kept clearing his throat.
Of course, he didn’t play a particularly great role in making these decisions. However, he was embarrassed to even give such an explanation to Hyun Young, who was running around without a moment’s rest.
“If you’re going to start something! Think about the people who have to clean up after you! Just starting something and then saying, ‘Oh, I don’t know anymore,’ and washing your hands of it? Who’s going to clean up after that, huh? Who?”
“Ca- Calm down. The kids are watching.”
Hyun Young glances back at Five Swords. Those who made eye contact quickly bowed their heads.
‘Hey! Bow down, bow down!’
‘If you make eye contact, you die.’
In times like this, if you get caught wrongly, your bones won’t even get retrieved.
No matter how well Chung Myung was doing, Baek Cheon was recognized, and Sect Leader was regaining his authority, the person with the highest power within the sect recognized by Mount Hua was undoubtedly Hyun Young.
“Hnggg. It’s good that Mount Hua is doing well.... Really well, but.... In the past, wherever we went, just throwing a straw mat was enough, but now we have to pay attention to everything from clothing to feeding them.”
Everyone lowered their heads in embarrassment at Hyun Young’s complaints and grumblings.
In fact, not much had changed in other areas from here. However, the Finance Hall was literally dying as the number of people remained the same but the work to be done had multiplied.
“That... It might help to slightly increase the manpower...”
“Just because I wanted to, would it? When I ask someone to help me with Finance Hall’s work, they roll their eyes and say they don’t even have enough time to train!”
“...”
Hyun Young took a deep breath and looked around with sharp eyes.
“But why isn’t Sect Leader coming! I’m so busy enough as it is. If I had called someone, they at least be here!”
Of course, Hyun Young didn’t know.
The fact that Hyun Jong, who had come close to the door, turned around upon hearing Hyun Young’s heated voice. Even Hyun Jong of the world cannot handle Hyun Young, whose head is full of heat.
Fortunately, there was one person in this Mount Hua who could handle Hyun Young.
“Ei, why bother with such things?”
“Huh?”
Five Swords’s face turned dark in an instant.
No sect in the world would want to make an enemy of such a place. Even those in Evil Sects might not wish for it.
“Therefore, we need to solidify our stance moving forward.”
Un Am was puzzled by Hyun Jong’s words and asked.
“Sect Leader. It might be presumptuous to say...”
“Speak.”
“If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be more appropriate to discuss such matters with Gaju of Tang Family? I think this is more a matter of Heavenly Comrade Alliance than of Mount Hua.”
Hyun Jong quietly shook his head at those words.
“If we go by the logic, you might be right. But I find that uncomfortable.”
“...Why?”
“Because before I was Maengju of the Heavenly Comrade Alliance, I am Sect Leader of Mount Hua.”
Hyun Jong smiled warmly and looked at everyone.
“This is especially true when I can’t clearly see the path we should take. If there’s going to be a discussion, I’d like to have it with you first.”
Everyone smiled at those words.
It seemed to be saying that no matter how much his status changed, Hyun Jong was still just Hyun Jong. This is the Sect Leader who stroked them with warm hands even in the old days when they were hungry together.
“That’s why, Chung Myung.”
“Yes?”
Hyun Jong said while looking at Chung Myung.
“What do you think we should do now?”
“Hmm.”
Chung Myung scratched his cheek.
Mount Hua’s disciples all thought that some special answer would come from Chung Myung.
Whenever presented with a question like this, Chung Myung would always suggest a new path with ideas that others could not think of. They expected a repeat of such instances this time too.
But that thought was shattered the moment Chung Myung’s mouth opened.
“The question seems a bit wrong, Sect Leader.”
“Hm? The question is wrong?”
“Yes.”
Chung Myung quietly shook his head.
“I can only answer that question this way.”
He paused for a moment and looked deeply into Hyun Jong’s eyes.
The moment Hyun Jong looked into those deep eyes, strength naturally entered his body.
“What do you wish to do, Sect Leader?”
“...Did you mean me?”
“Yes, Sect Leader.”
When Hyun Jong slightly hesitated in answering, Chung Myung turned his head to look around at the others gathered.
“And I think we should also ask what everyone here wants to do. The path Mount Hua takes should be decided together by Mount Hua. I think what we want to do must be decided before what we can do.”
“.....”
Such a statement isn’t extraordinary. Because it is so obvious.
Yet, that obvious statement carried a significant meaning in this place.
‘That maverick....’
‘...Oh my gosh.’
Most looked at Chung Myung in surprise. But Jo-Gol didn’t stop there, he stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Chung Myung’s face.
Chung Myung frowned slightly.
“...What?”
“No, I was wondering if you ate something wrong. You don’t have a fever, do you?”
“...”
Fortunately, before Chung Myung could react, Yoon Jong kicked Jo-Gol in the side. Chung Myung spoke again to Jo-Gol, who couldn’t even make a sound and was just grimacing.
“Let’s talk about it together.”
Everyone waited for what Chung Myung would say next.
“About the path Mount Hua should take from here on.”
With eyes full of resolute determination.
