Jo-Pyeong’s eyes bulged halfway out.
“Uh…Uh……”
‘Want an ass-kicking?’
For a brief moment, Jo-Pyeong did not understand what he had heard and pondered it for some time.
He had no idea such vulgar words would be poured into Tang Zhan.
Who was Tang Zhan?
Isn’t he the fifth Young Master of the Sichuan Tang Family, Sichuan’s ruler?
Can anyone say this to the Tang children in other places?
If there is, it is either the world’s strongest man, who can keep the Sichuan Tang Family at bay or……
‘He’s just insane.’
Unfortunately, no matter how often he looks at it, the current situation is similar to the latter. Because this young man cannot be such a powerful force that even the Sichuan Tang Family is unconcerned about it.
That is to say.
‘…… How do I handle this?’
His thoughts go blank.
Even though there are only a few of them, they are well-known worldwide for reasons other than their strength.
That tenacity and wickedness.
They are considered close to Sapa because they are sensitive to blasphemy while also remembering their resentment.
However, he openly defamed the Sichuan Tang Family; how will you deal with the fallout?
Even the aftermath is unlikely to end at Mount Hua. Perhaps Sahaesanghweda will have to accept some responsibility for this.
On the other hand, Tang Zhan was unimpressed, contrary to Jo-Pyeong’s fears.
There was more confusion than anger, and his family’s teaching that he should not be excited under any circumstances prevented him from acting on it.
Instead of being excited, he watched Chung Myung walk out the door with his eyes twitching.
Mount Hua’s uniform has plum patterns on it.
The face, which has not yet completely shed its youthful skin, is admirable.
He is clearly a disciple of Mount Hua, but it is unclear what distribution he belongs to.
“What is your name?”
Tang Zhan opened his mouth with all the calm and courtesy he could muster.
But his courtesy was overshadowed by the reaction.
“What is your name?”
“….”
A careless and disrespectful response.
Face flushed with red.
And the bottle he was holding.
Tang Zhan came to one conclusion after putting everything together.
‘Drunkard.’
He had no desire to associate with drunks.
But,
‘You consume enough alcohol to get drunk in a foreign country.’ Is it true that all the rumors about Mount Hua disciples going around Murim are exaggerated?’
Tang Zhan’s opinion of Mount Hua began to deteriorate sharply.
People in Mount Hua Sect uniforms rushed out of the room simultaneously, as if defying the evaluation.
“Hahahaha!”
“He’s inebriated. I apologize!”
“Chung Myung, let’s go in! Come on, let’s go!”
The disciples of Mount Hua grabbed the drunkard’s limbs and began dragging him inside. I could have just laughed at it up until this point, but….
The issue is the drunkard’s name.
“Who is Chung Myung?”
Tang Zhan’s voice was unable to conceal his confusion.
“Do you mean Mount Hua Divine Dragon, Chung Myung?”
“….”
Soon, he had a look of surprise in his eyes.
When Jo-Pyeong heard this, he looked puzzledly at the disciple of Mount Hua and Tang Zhan alternately.
“Divine Dragon of Mount Hua? Who is he?”
Jo-Pyeong’s words represented Tang Zhan’s emotions.
Divine Dragon of Mount Hua
The name is now followed by one modifier, which may be required.
The world’s best rising star.
The envy and expectations of martial artists were fierce, in these words.
This is the place everyone aspires to be when they want to be the best person in the world. It is a glorious annex with a name that can only be given to one person at a time.
In a row, I defeated the second-class disciples of the Southern Edge Sect.
He is even said to have defeated Muja-bae, not the Wudang’s Jinja-bae. (Those with Mu (first-class disciple) are known as Muja-bae, while those with Jin (second-class disciple) are known as Jinja-bae.)
And he jumped into the dangerous Sword Tomb, preventing destruction and finally gaining the recognition of Heo Sanja of Wudang.
The most powerful and intelligent rising star of the time.
“……that same person?”
Tang Zhan and Jo-Pyeong both had their heads tilted at the same time.
‘I don’t believe so.’
‘No way.’
Those next to the drunk seem to be much better martial artists right now. One of them was intimidating enough to make Tang Zhan nervous.
But Mount Hua Divine Dragon is that drunkard?
‘There must have been an error.’
Or the world’s perception of Mount Hua Divine Deagon is completely incorrect.
Tang Zhan’s brow furrowed.
He opened his mouth after a brief moment of thought.
“Are you the Divine Dragon of Mount Hua, Chung Myung?”
Chung Myung, who was being dragged away, answered his call.
“Allow me to leave! Allow me to leave! He’s calling my name!”
“No, no. Nobody called.”
“You misheard it. Wrong! Chung Myung, let’s go back!”
“No, he simply called! Hey!”
Chung Myung flew forward, shaking his arms and shaking off his Sahyung. Then he narrows his eyes and looks at Tang Zhan.
“Did you contact me?”
“……are you Chung Myung?”
“Hahh.”
Chung Myung exhales deeply. And he made a low click with his tongue.
“No, have all the kids forgotten how to behave these days? Isn’t it natural to ask your own name before asking someone else’s?”
Tang Zhan clenched his teeth.
When you think about it, he did make a mistake. It was so absurd that he temporarily forgot his manners.
“What is your name?”
“…Pardon me. Tang Zhan of the Sichuan Tang Family here.”
“Tang?”
“That’s correct.”
“No….”
Chung Myung twisted his expression.
“You must have learned a lot from the Tang Family, but you come in late at night and make a big deal just to ask for someone? Has the Tang Family I know been destroyed and replaced by a new Tang?”
Tang Zhan’s face flushed as Chung Myung spoke.
It makes no difference if you insult him. However, this was a direct insult to the Tang Family.
Yoon Jong rushed forward and began slapping Chung Myung in the mouth just as the excited Tang Zhan was about to say something.
“This tiny muzzle! This tiny snout!”
Slap! Slap!
“Argh! Argh! Please do not strike me!”
“Hey!”
Yoon Jong dragged Chung Myung back by the back of his head.
Baek Chun crept out with a false cough in front of Tang Zhan, who was staring at the scene with absurd eyes. He was a little flushed as well.
“There have been numerous disruptions. My name is Baek Chun from Mount Hua.”
“……Are you the Righteous Sword (Hwajeong)?”
“It’s a bit of a nickname, but it’s what they call me.”
“Then you’re the one who took down Wudang’s Black Dragon.”
“…we just lightly shook hands.”
Tang Zhan’s eyes became icy.
In any case, he met someone with whom he could communicate. Tang Zhan was relieved to have known the opponent after going through such an absurd experience.
“I hope you understand why I came to see you so late at night. It was difficult to contain my excitement when I learned that the famous Mount Hua disciples were in Sichuan.”
“I don’t think it’s impolite. It’s simply embarrassing that we dare to pique the Tang Family’s interest.”
Tang Zhan rolled his mouth corners up.
“It is more than sufficient. Especially….”
Tang Zhan’s gaze was drawn to Jo-Gol, who was standing behind Baek Chun.
“Because Young Master and the Tang family are involved in so many things, I’d like to see what Young Master has learned from Mount Hua today.”
Baek Chun’s expression hardened.
“I’m not sure I understand. Why does Tang Family need to confirm our Mount Hua disciple’s success?”
“It’s easy.”
Tang Zhan gave a soft smile.
“He is a Mount Hua disciple, but he is also a child of Sahaesanghweda. All those who live on Sichuan land must be verified by the Sichuan Tang Family.”
Baek Chun’s brow furrowed.
He wanted to ask him how they had such power when they were not even members of the imperial family, but it was pointless. Tang Family rules like a king in this city, at least.
If he tries to avoid them clumsily, it is more likely that Sahaesanghweda will pay the price, not Jo-Gol.
That is not what Baek Chun or Jo-Gol desire.
“Sasuk.”
Back Chun returned his gaze to Jo-Gol’s call from behind.
“I’m going out.”
“Gol-ah.”
“For a brief moment…”
Jo-Gol called out to Baek Chun and took a step back. Then he whispered in a low voice that no one in the Tang family could hear.
“This is how it is in Sichuan.”
“I’m not sure I understand. What in the world is going on?”
“Because Mount Hua’s reputation has grown. They do not want Sichuan’s powerful figures to escape the Tang family’s dominance. They know that if they leave me alone, other powerful people will send their descendant to Sichuan, so they are trying to humiliate me and put an end to those plans.”
“Huh?”
Baek Chun’s eyes were clouded with uncertainty.
“Doesn’t that make sense?”
“That is the Sichuan way, the Tang Family way. When Mount Hua enters the picture, things become more complicated. Please delegate this responsibility to me.”
Baek Chun quietly nodded.
“I understand, please wait a moment.”
“Sasuk, yes.”
Back Chun took another step forward.
He moved in closer to Tang Zhan, straightened his back, and opened his mouth.
“How will you examine my Sajil?”
“Isn’t that self-evident? Is there another way to screen a martial artist?”
Tang Zhan’s corners of his mouth curled up.
“If we exchange strikes, we’ll know.”
Baek Chun nodded and smiled.
“So, you want to test Jo-Gol, Young Master of Sahaesanghweda, and third-class disciples of Mount Hua, and report the results to Sichuan?”
“It’s a little extreme, but it’s not incorrect. And I wanted to make friends with the Mount Hua disciples, but the situation does not appear to be favorable. So we’ll do it later……”
Tang Zhan’s eyes were cold.
“Allow Jo-Gol to come out first. This is a Tang Family matter. Any disruption will not be tolerated.”
Baek Chun’s grin thickened.
“Of course, Mount Hua has no plans to disrupt the Sichuan Tang Family.”
“It appears that we are of one mind.”
“But…… there’s a minor issue.”
“Problem?”
“There is a problem.”
Baek Chun tilts his head slightly.
“I apologize for interrupting, but do you mean the people here are going to test Jo-Gol’s skill?”
“……..why is that a problem?”
“I mean, with that talent?”
“….”
Tang Zhan’s eyes widened.
But Baek Chun remained motionless, staring at Tang Zhan with transparent eyes.
“Because you dared to put the third-class disciples of Mount Hua to the test, I should treat you accordingly. Come on in. First, I’ll assess your abilities. Isn’t this just?”
Baek Chun tapped his sword against his side.
And firmly stated.
“Otherwise, you won’t be able to identify Sajil. It’s all about Mount Hua. I will not put up with interruptions.”
All Mount Hua’s disciples, watching the situation from behind, stared blankly at Baek Chun.
“Sasuk!”
“Wow… Sasuk…”
“Sahyung!”
‘……you said not to cause any trouble.’
‘What should I do if it is you who causes the accident?’
‘It’s really running like a sect!’
