Novel Return of Mount Hua Sect Chapter 287

“Come on! Hurry and call! You can’t bet when the match starts! Now is your last chance!”

Wei Lishan raised his voice as if he screamed.

Otherwise, the audience would be unable to hear him. It was because everyone in the crowd was screaming in front of the vendor with money.

“No! Why don’t you take the money when I want to bet on it? I’m betting on Jong Seo Han!”

“A hundred nyang to Baek Chun!”

“Get out of the way! I’ll bet 500 on Jong Seo Han!”

“How dare you take 500 nyang and join this round? Get out of my way! Hey! I’m a thousand to Jong Seo Han! I’ll bet a thousand!”

“Fifty nyang! Fifty nyang!”

“What do you mean 50? Go get some sweets instead!”

“Shut up, you rich bastard! I have the right to bet! What kind of rich people do gambling!”

“Master! Where’s the ticket?!”

People rushed madly, shaking the money in their hands.

“Sohaeng-ah, collect money quickly and hand out the tickets! Don’t forget to put the seal!”

“Yes, Father!”

“And just in case, write down the personal details of the people who bet the money! They might lose their ticket.”

“Yes!”

Wei So-haeng and the Huayin Sect disciples wrote the amount and personal information in the books after receiving the money from those who rushed in. Because of the tense situation, everyone was perspiring.

“Hurry up! Hurry up! The match will start at this rate!”

“How dare you cut in line, bastard! Do you wish swords stuck in your stomach?”

“I told you not to push! Don’t push me!”

The ecstatic gamblers went on a killing spree.

And there was someone who smiled as he looked around the frantic crowd.

“How are things going?”

“…….”

While looking at the stand with Baek Sang, Hyun Young smiled brightly.

“This is how you get paid. What are your thoughts? ”

Unlike Hyun Young, who appeared to be overjoyed, Baek Sang couldn’t shake something strange.

‘Is this really all right?’

Is it okay to make money like this for Taoist Sect? Only at Taoist Sect?

“Well…… Elder.”

“Hm?”

“I-Is this okay? But Mount Hua is a Taoist Sect, a Taoist…….”

“Does Taoist eat rice?”

“Huh?”

Hyun Young stated firmly.

“Being stuck in a mountain and practicing Taoism doesn’t mean money will fall from the sky. You must now feed those blockheads who know nothing but wielding a sword. If you decide what you will do based on how noble, what you want, what’s comfortable, you’ll soon live off the bark of a tree.”

“…….”

It was a word born of experience.

“No matter how you earn it, money is money! If it’s not something that’s harmful to people or illegal, it’s a good thing to earn another penny somehow! ”

As he gazed into Hyun Young’s twinkling eyes, Baek Sang broke out in cold sweat.

‘I believe Elder has changed far more than I anticipated.’

‘I’m sure it’s because of him.’

“You are saying that you need money to practice Taoism.”

“Of course. Why is Shaolin the best in the world? ”

“The martial arts…”

“Because they are extremely wealthy!”

“…….”

With bloodshot eyes, Hyun Young stated.

“In other places, the highest-level warriors have to stand up for a reward or settle a request to earn a penny, right? But Shaolin can only train without worrying about anything because they have money in their temple even by leaving the door open! That’s why they’re so strong!”

“…….”

“So you have to earn money! Remember! How much money you earn determines how strong Mount Hua can get! Don’t take your role lightly!”

“I’ll keep that in mind!”

He nodded his head quickly under the momentum pressure, thinking that Finance Hall’s work might be a little different than he thought.

It was back then.

Hwiik!

Took!

A large paper roll fell from the sky and landed on the vendor.

“Huh?”

Wei Lishan’s eyes widened as if they were about to tear apart when he saw the flying object.

On the paper, a large seal with numerous numbers was engraved.

“A… A slip?”

That entire stack of paper?

‘How much is that?’

A familiar voice pierced Wei Lishan’s ear, and he couldn’t even dare to check.

“Ten Thousand for Mount Hua Baek Chun.”

In an instant, the environment becomes silent.

All eyes were drawn to the direction of the sound.

Wei Lishan screamed in shock.

“Chu- Chung Myung Dojang!”

Chung Myung smiled as he walked out of the crowd.

“Can I bet?”

Wei Lishan’s mind was racing.

“No, of course. But where the hell did you get all this money from…?”

“I have a lot of money.”

Wei Lishan’s mouth opened wide at his confident words.

And he wasn’t the only one with a gaping mouth. Those in front of the vendor and Baek Sang, who was watching from behind, were taken aback.

“That- That crazy bastard!”

‘Gambling Taoist?’

‘N- No, Mount Hua is the one who set up the bet right now, so he can’t blame Chung Myung, but… … .’

‘We are still working behind Huayin Sect’s name.’

Gambling while wearing a robe engraved with Mount Hua plum blossoms?

“That crazy guy! Elder, I’m gonna……!”

“Huhuhuhu. How much is the fee for ten thousand nyang? As expected of our Chung Myung! He knows how to make it bigger. That cute guy!”

“…….”

‘Elder?’

‘I think you have something on your eye…….’

‘A cute guy?’

“Sho- Shouldn’t we stop him?”

“Why?”

“Why? Everyone’s looking…….”

As Baek Sang hesitated, Hyun Young snorted.

“There is a gambling den in Shaolin, why is it that a Taoist cannot gamble!”

“…….”

“And look.”

“Yes?”

Baek Sang shifted his gaze to the direction Hyun Young had indicated.

Those who flocked to the vendors yelled at the heap of slips.

“Are- Are you sure about that?”

“What?”

“Is this really the right slip?”

Before Wei Lishan could respond, someone rushed forward, picked up the stack of slips, and began to check.

“Ee, this is the slip of the Great Habuk Bank! It’s genuine!”

“Who are you?”

“I’m a person who makes a living by working in a bank! I’m a staff worker in Habuk Bank!”

“Oh, come to think of it, I’ve seen him in the Habuk Bank!”

That brief conversation effectively ended the situation.

People’s eyes began to seethe like crazy when it was confirmed that a ten thousand nyang slip for Baek Chun was genuine. The created insanity spread.

Thousands of Nyang!

In an instant, the odd multiplied several times. When gamblers calculated how much money they could win if they won the bet, their eyes were turned upside down.

‘10,000 for Mount Hua Baek Chun?’

Jong Seo Han of the Southern Edge Sect is ‘Baek Chun’s opponent! Although Baek Chun’s reputation is stronger, Southern Edge Sect’s Jong Seo Han is also well-known. It does not necessarily imply that 100,000 wins.’

‘Southern Edge Sect is another sect competing for the title of the best sect in the world. ‘There is a chance.’

Finally, a riot erupted.

Even those who were just looking around rushed over to the vendor, foam in their mouth. Those who bet first won the most money.

“Argh! Shut up and take my money!”

“A hundred nyang! A hundred more!”

“What is the odds of this! Can’t you check it right away?!”

Hyun Young delighted in the sight.

‘Yes, yes, yes. ‘Come on, pour it.’

The higher the commission, the larger the den. If they do well, they may be able to cover a few months worths of Mount Hua operating expenses in a single day’s work.

“That’s how the betting den grows. If you intend to lead the Finance Hall, you should watch what Chung Myung is doing.”

“…….”

Baek Sang was the one who figured out why Hyun Young liked Chung Myung.

Meanwhile, the bet was being settled. The match will begin shortly.

“We- We will stop here!”

“Take my money, please!”

“You can’t stop here!”

“It must be stopped before the match starts! There is also the next round, so please understand this time!”

“It hasn’t started yet!”

“This guy gambles once or twice! Until they pick their sword, you’ll have to accept it!”

“Take this! Hey, just this!”

Wei Lishan, in a cold sweat, sneaked a look at Chung Myung. As Chung Myung nodded graciously, Wei Lishan also nodded to him.

“Then I’ll take it only for the people who are here!”

Another round of Abyss passed and somehow the stakes were settled.

Wei Lishan approached Chung Myung while wiping his sweat and whispered.

“Thanks to Chung Myung Dojang, the bet has grown. Thank you.”

Then Chung Myung slowly turned his head. Before he knew it, Hyun Young was looking at him with a pleased face.

Chung Myung grinned.

“Well, it’s all for the best.”

Huayin Sect runs the vendor, but it is actually Mount Hua who leads it. Mount Hua takes the commission and shares it with Shaolin. The bigger the bet, the more money Mount Hua earns.

That’s why he can’t help but like Hyun Young so much.

“By the way, Chung Myung Dojang, are you sure you don’t mind? If he lose, you’ll lose all that money.”

“Lose?”

Chung Myung grinned.

“Back Chun Sasuk?”

“Of course, I’m not ignoring Baek Chun Dojang. But the match is not settled until the result is out.”

“That’s true. It is the case if the two are on the same level.”

“…Yes?”

“Just because a tiger catches a cold and got a runny nose, it still won’t lose to a rabbit.”

“So…….”

“And, well, it’s okay to lose. I’ll get my money back even if I have to sell Sasuk!”

Wei Lishan shakes his head when he sees Chung Myung’s glistening eyes.

“By the way, where did you get all that money from? Do you happen to……?”

“Oh, I’m rich by nature.”

“…Yes?”

‘To be exact, Cheon Mun Sahyung was rich.’

‘But what about it? He’s not such a cheap guy that blames his marvelous Saje over spending some money, such is my Sahyung!’

‘Right? Cheon Mun Sahyung?’

– … … you’ll see it later.

‘See? He likes it.’

Chung Myung giggled and looked at the stage.

“Well, it’s time for Sasuk to make some money.”

On the stage.

Jong Seo Han roared back at Baek Chun.

“I’ll twist that snout. I won’t let you go just because you’re Sahyunhg’s Brother.”

The nonsense left Baek Chun laughing loud.

‘Whose brother are you going to let go?’

“You’ve been together with him for so long, but you still don’t know Hyung-nim.”

“…What are you talking about?”

“That person is not a person who gives it easily if the opponent were of his blood. Rather, he is a person who will be harsher because the blood is connected.”

Jin Geum Ryong is like that.

Of course, he’s not saying that’s bad. It just doesn’t fit Baek Chun.

‘My family is Mount Hua.’

Baek Chun looked at Jong Seo Han with his low, sunken eyes. And he said softly.

“That’s enough of me. Because swordsman proves himself with a sword.”

Jong Seo Han closed his mouth tightly.

He can’t agree with a human being named Baek Chun, but he has to agree with that statement. Because he’s also a swordsman.

Jong Seo Han lightly waved his sword and took the stances.

Baek Chun, who identified the sword’s trajectory, grasped his sword handle tightly.

‘Is it Twelve-movement Snow Flower Sword?’

It’s a sword he has already seen a few times.

The sword that Jin Geum Ryong and Southern Edge Sect’s second-class disciples used to destroy the second-class disciples of Mount Hua.

‘And it’s a sword that was completely smashed by Chung Myung.’

However, it could not be ignored. Because he’s not Chung Myung.

Baek Chun took a deep breath.

Three years ago, he was unilaterally defeated without resisting by Jin Geum Ryong’s Twelve-Movement Snow Flower Sword.

No, in fact, even the word defeat was too much. To be exact, he was one-sidedly badly beaten.

So now he has to prove it.

‘How strong Mount Hua has become.’

And how strong he has become!

Beyond Twelve-Movement Snow Flower Sword!

“Taaaat!”

White buds began to bloom at the tip of Jong Seo Han’s sword which rushed at him with a shout.

‘Let’s see.’

It is a completely undeveloped sword, but it’s clearly visible.

The flower blooming from Jong Seo Han’s sword is clearer and sharper than Jin Geum Ryong showed in the past.

The white petals that have bloomed swept over Baek Chun with the wind.

It’s as colorful as it can be.

It was a sword so beautiful that it was dazzling. If it was he in the past, he would have been mesmerized not knowing what to do.

But…….

‘……what is it?’

Baek Chun frowned unknowingly.

It’s gorgeous and beautiful. The visible scene was a series of sharp swordsmanship that gave him goosebumps.

Nevertheless, he felt an unknown emptiness in Jong Seo Han’s sword.

Red sword energy rose from Baek Chun’s sword in an instant.

Chwaaak!

As Baek Chun lightly swung his sword, the flew petals were torn at once with the sound of splitting silk.

“Thi-This…!”

Jong Seo Han, who was rushing in, was so surprised that he took a step back unknowingly.

Baek Chun looked at him with a serious face and shook his head.

“It’s empty.”

“…This guy?”

“Now I understand what Chung Myung means. People pay attention to the beautiful flowers of plum blossoms, but it is said that it is the hard roots that dig into the ground that make them bloom.”

In order to build its roots, Mount Hua has undergone arduous and harsh training over and over again. And the process will continue even in the future.

In order to have the heaviness that supports the splendor, not the splendor that can be seen.

But Southern Edge Sect is different.

They just make the blooming flowers more dazzling and beautiful.

The more they do that, the more they don’t know that the trees are drying up.

– Southern Edge Sect is over.

‘Scary bastard.’

Now that he understood what Chung Myung’s short words meant, he slowly relaxed his shoulders.

And he put more strength on the lower body that had hit the ground. To avoid making the same mistakes as them.

“Let me show you.”

“…….”

“I don’t know if you can understand it by watching it.”

Baek Chun’s sword slowly slashes through the air.
