Novel Return of Mount Hua Sect Chapter 342

Glurukk.

The tea from the steaming teapot filled half the cup.

Hyun Jong held out the teacup to the old man group and Hyun Dang.

“Um.”

Hyun Dang placed the teacup in his mouth. The scent of tea tickled his nose subtly and softly.

Hyun Dang nods loudly as he takes a sip.

“You’ve gotten even better at brewing tea.”

“Do you remember the taste of my old tea?”

“Of course, I remember. One of the things I’ll never forget about you is the taste of your tea.”

Hyun Jong gives a small smile.

“You must have had a lot of regrets.”

“…yes. It seems that’s how it was.”

It’s a quiet discussion.

On the other hand, the expressions on the faces of those watching the conversation were far from smooth.

Residence of the Sect Leader

Hyun Sang and Hyun Young sat to the left and right, respectively, with Hyun Jong at the top.

Unam and Ungum, as well as the other first-class disciples, were standing all the way in front of the two Elders.

Hyun Dang sat cross-legged on the other side of the upper seat, and the people he brought with him followed suit.

Subtle opposition.

And then there’s silence.

The subtle scent of tea was very soft, but the air in the room was anything but.

Hyun Dang speaks first, as if the situation is too pleasurable.

“You don’t even get old.”

“When there’s a good thing, old people get younger.”

“Right, I guess so. It’s a good thing.”

Hyun Dang looks at Hyun Jong and says,

“I’m relieved to see that the position suits you well. Actually, I was quite worried.”

“Ha!”

As soon as he finished talking, Hyun Young snorted.

Hyun Jong looked at him with a slight scolding look so he closed his mouth, but if he had been left alone, he would have cursed at them.

“Thank you for your concern.”

“No, I should be grateful to you for leading Mount Hua so well.”

Hyun Young looked at Hyun Dang with a reproachful face. Even Hyun Sang coughed loud, looking uncomfortable.

“So…….”

Hyun Jong opens his mouth as if he is going to change the atmosphere.

“What might brings you here?”

Hyun Dang stared silently at Hyun Jong for a long time.

“You’ve changed a lot, too.”

“…….”

“You weren’t this direct to ask before. You were always suggestive.”

“Times change the rivers and mountains three times. Is there any reason why people shouldn’t change?”

“Yes, that’s right. But I wanted you to remain the way you were before.”

Hyun Jong didn’t answer back.

It was something that didn’t need to be answered. And it wasn’t him who had to answer now, it was Hyun Dang.

“I think you should answer my question.”

“Yes, I should.”

Hyun Dang let out a slight sigh and looked back at the people of Mount Hua.

“30 years ago. I walked out of Mount Hua on my own feet.”

“…….”

“Because I thought there was no future in Mount Hua. No, more precisely, because I thought I could not revive the collapsing Mount Hua with my strength.”

“You did.”

“But as I got older, I changed my mind.”

Hyun Dang smiled warmly.

“There was nothing I could do about Mount Hua sitting on one side of my heart. I thought I’d forget about it over time, but Mount Hua inside me only grew bigger day by day.”

Hyun Young laughed outright.

“Looking at how well you’ve endured for 30 years, it wouldn’t have been that big in the first place!”

“……Hyun Young-ah.”

“Yes, I know. I know.”

Hyun Young closed his mouth when Hyun Jong scolded him calmly. However, seeing his lips sticking out, he seemed unable to get rid of his discomfort.

Hyun Dang said calmly.

“Yes, what can I say? We’re the ones who left Mount Hua anyway. It’s something we have to endure even if we’re criticized or cursed at.”

Hyun Jong frowned slightly.

“You haven’t answered my question yet.”

“…I tried to forget Mount Hua in my life. I have established a foundation, and life has become less difficult. But the empty corners of my heart were not filled. Meanwhile, I heard the name of Mount Hua all the way to where I live.”

Hyun Sang bites his lips slightly.

‘Do we have to listen to this yangban…….’

Hyun Jong gave everything to save Mount Hua while they established a foundation and lived comfortably.

If he thinks about it even a little bit, he shouldn’t dare say that in front of Hyun Jong.

“The moment I heard that Mount Hua was making its name known to the world again, I couldn’t control the remorse I had buried. That’s why we came all the way to Mount Hua with like-minded people and their descendants.”

Hyun Jong nodded slowly.

“I see what you mean. But it still doesn’t answer my question.”

“…What kind of answer did you mean?”

“What is Sahyung going to do in Mount Hua?”

Hyun Dang stared at Hyun Jong and opened his mouth.

“Can I do a thing?”

“…….”

“I am a sinner. I am in a position where I can’t even step on the ground of Mount Hua. What would I wish for? It’s enough to just breathe in Mount Hua and be Mount Hua’s fertilizer.”

“Eum.”

“Everyone who comes here with us has their abilities in the world and has made their own lives. They should be helpful to Mount Hua. So give us a chance to be the ghost of Mount Hua. I want to live for Mount Hua until my old body breaks.

Hyun Jong sighed low.

“Sahyung…….”

“That’s a piece of crap!”

At that moment, Hyun Young stood up and pointed his finger at them.

“When Mount Hua was devastated and it was on the verge of collapse, he didn’t even put his nose out, but now what? Mount Hua’s ghost? Do you have a conscience?”

“Hyun Young, calm down.”

“How can I, Sahyung! Aren’t those scumbag tricks too clear? For 30 years, when Mount Hua was about to collapse, they pretended not to know, and now that Mount Hua is doing well, they’re trying to get at least some bean powder! Isn’t that what it is!”

Hyun Young snorted and shouted.

“There’s nothing more to hear! Get those bastards out of here now!”

“Hyun Young-ah!”

It was then.

“I’m sorry, but Sect Leader. This time, I have the same thoughts as Saje.”

“…….”

Hyun Sang stepped out with a stiff face.

“There’s no need to think about it. They’re the ones who left Mount Hua on their own. How do we expect them to step on Mount Hua’s land? Ghosts? Such ghosts are not needed for Mount Hua.”

“…….”

“You all must return.”

Hyun Jong frowned slightly and closed his eyes.

Hyun Dang then opened his mouth.

“I fully understand how you feel. Sahyung…….”

“How dare you said Sahyung!”

“Hyun Young-ah!”

“No! Sect Leader! I’m talking about the same thing, aren’t I? How can a person who has left the home be the Sahyung of Sect Leader?”

“Stop.”

Hyun Jong waved his hand to stop him.

Hyun Young, who couldn’t be unaware that the move was an expression of Hyun Jong’s uncomfortable mind, eventually closed his mouth with a groan.

Hyun Jong said in a heavy voice.

“…I understand what you’re talking about, but it’s too sudden for me to make a decision right now.”

“Right, I guess so.”

“I’ll give you a place to stay so that you can rest. You must be tired of climbing the mountain.”

“I’ll do that.”

Hyun Dang smiled brightly.

Hyun Jong turned his head and looked at Unam.

“Am-ah.” (Unam was actually Un Am, and Ungum is Un Gum. The first name of first-class disciples is Un.)

“Yes, Sect Leader.”

“Give them the Cheongmaewan and make sure they get their meals ready.”

“……yes.”

Unam rose from his seat.

“I’ll guide you.”

“Yes.”

When Hyun Dang and the others got up from their seats, Unam left the room without saying a word.

After Unam and the crowd left, Hyun Dang, who remains in the room until the end, turns his head slightly and looks at Hyun Jong.

“I’m sorry to appear before you again without shame.”

“…….”

“But I want you to know sincerity about Mount Hua.”

Hyun Jong nodded his head without saying anything.

Hyun Dang left the room with a subtle smile.

“Sect Leader!”

As soon as he left the room, Hyun Young raised his voice.

“Wait.”

“But!”

“I told you to wait.”

“Hmph!”

Hyun Jong sighed and opened his mouth.

“I’m sorry, but could you leave? I have something to say separately with the Elders.”

“Yes, Sect Leader.”

The first-class disciples filling the room got up and went outside. Alone with the Elders, Hyun Jong touched the teacup and opened his mouth.

“What do you think?”

“There’s nothing to think about! It’s a piece of crap!”

Hyun Young screams.

“Mount Hua’s reputation has increased, and now they’re trying to trick us to get something to eat. How dare they shamelessly bring their faces into Mount Hua?”

“I feel the same way, Sect Leader.”

Hyun Sang, who never openly agreed with Hyun Young, took sides this time.

“I don’t think they came here with good intentions. They are not without wealth as their appearance is not bad. Isn’t it obvious why such people are turning away from the disciples of Mount Hua when we eat the grassroots, and now they are poking their faces in?”

“And!”

Hyun Young gritted his teeth and added.

“Even if they came here with good intentions, it’s the same. Those are the ones who turned a blind eye to Mount Hua. Reflect? Reflect? You can’t understand everything just by reflecting on yourself!”

Hyun Jong sighed.

“I don’t think you’re too wrong either.”

“If you do, kick them out right now! Sect Leader.”

“Let’s wait a little bit for that.”

“Why?”

Hyun Jong shakes his head.

“Have you forgotten? Now, Mount Hua can’t help but care about the eyes of others not as we did in the past.”

“…….”

“If they leave Mount Hua like this, the people will gossip about Mount Hua for treating old adults poorly.”

“Does that make any sense?”

“That doesn’t make any sense. But is there good people who go after the truth?”

“…….”

“You can’t throw prey to those who are obsessed with eroding Mount Hua. Let’s feed them and treat them well for at least a few days.”

Hyun Young sighs deeply.

“I understand the meaning of Sect Leader, but I don’t think this will be so simple. Will those who come with a determination to retreat so easily?”

“I’ll try something by then.”

Hyun Jong said in a subdued voice. Then he sighed.

‘I thought you said it was a luxury.’

It was said there must be a devil in good things. But he never imagined this would happen.

‘It’s frustrating.’

The sigh of Hyun Jong filled the room.

“… Sahyung.”

“Hm?”

“Isn’t Hyun Jong tougher than you think?”

Hyun Dang smiled brightly at Hyun Bob’s words.

“Yes.”

“I thought he’d lie flat on his stomach whenever Sahyung came, but when I saw that weak man sitting at the top of the seat and condescending, my stomach was twisted. The position was supposed to be Sahyung!”

“Hoho. Keep your voice down.”

Hyun Dang glances at him gently.

“This is Mount Hua.”

“Isn’t this where only children are left?”

“That’s true.”

Hyun Dang looked back at Mount Hua with a twisted smile. As if all this would fall into his hands in no time.

“He pretends to be strong, but he can’t hide his true nature. Hyun Jong will eventually accept us. Soon, more people will come to Mount Hua and pressure Hyun Jong, so there’s no way it wouldn’t be.”

“That’s right, Sahyung.”

“Even though Mount Hua was fortunate to receive good disciples and escaped from its downfall. if a weak person like Hyun Jong is the Sect Leader, he will not be able to recover the glory of the past. So we will have to help.”

“Of course.”

Hyun Dang rolled up the corners of his mouth.

“Until the time is ripe, it would be good to bow our head moderately. First of all, recovering our identity is the first thing. So, everyone, don’t be reckless.”

“Yes.”

“Right, let’s go.”

Hyun Dang smiled at the back of Unam walking ahead from afar.

It was of course expected that they would not come out as favorably. But it won’t last too long.

‘I’m gonna have to get my seat back.’

For his own sake.

And for Mount Hua.

A grin escaped the old man’s mouth.

‘Everything will go back to order.’

‘Yes, as it should be.’
