Return of the flowery Mountain Sect English - Chapter 732

Chapter 732 For your sake (2)
Baek Chun’s eyes shifted slightly to the left.

These are familiar faces.

Yoo Iseol, Yoon Jong, Jo Gol. These days, Tang Soso and Hye Yeon were rarely seen, but the three of them were the faces he saw most often, so it wasn’t too awkward.

His gaze rolled back.

This side is undoubtedly unfamiliar.

Un Gum and Un Am.

Of course, they always met each other at Mount Hua, so foreign terms were inappropriate. To be precise, it’s not their faces that are unfamiliar. but the fact that they stood side by side on the same line as him.

And…….

“…….”

That one sure looks familiar, that one.

A very familiar beast cub.

In front of the marching group, Chung Myung stood while leaning on one leg.

“Chung Myung-ah.” -said Baek Chun

“Hah?” -said Chung Myung

“……. There’s your Sasuk here, isn’t it rude to stand like that?” -said Baek Chun

“Ah. It was hard for me to stretch my legs because of the stab wounds I got while fighting with the Magyo bastards back then. Ugh.” -said Chung Myung

Baek Chun was so stunned that he lost his words.

Wow. If you’re still sick from then on, you won’t be able to walk.

Voices of complaints appeared here and there, but Chung Myung seemed to turn a deaf ear as if he wasn’t bothered at all.

“Everyone here probably knows why they gathered, so I’ll skip any unnecessary explanations and get straight to the point.” -said Chung Myung

Then Jo-Gol raised his hand quickly. Chung Myung frowned slightly and nodded.

“What?” -said Chung Myung

“Why are we gathered here?” -said Jo-Gol

“…….”

For a moment, contempt and annoyance passed through Chung Myung’s eyes looking at Jo-Gol. Jo-Gol looked around with a guilty face, but he had no choice but to lower his head a moment later. Chung Myung’s eyes actually looked gentle compared to the people around him.

“…I apologize.” -said Jo-Gol

“Goal-ah. Let us think before we open our mouths.” -said Yoon Jong

“That would be difficult.” -said Jo-Gol

Yoon Jong took a deep breath. Baek Chun, who also took a deep breath, asked Chung Myung.

“Is it because of the Violet Mist Divine Art?” -said Baek Chun

“Of course.” -said Chung Myung

What else could happen?

“Uhm…” -said Baek Chun

A hint of worry crossed Baek Chun’s face.

Although it wasn’t a big deal to study with two generations, it was unavoidable to think that it was beyond the pale with three generations gathered. From the perspective of Un’s generation, isn’t this like learning a new martial art with his children and grandchildren?

Even though there are no ups and downs in learning, it is nothing but very idealistic thinking.

But before Baek Chun could even say anything, Chung Myung interrupted.

“For your information, I didn’t choose the people gathered here, so it’s useless to tell me.” -said Chung Myung

Baek Chun’s mouth was closed like a clam.

“He didn’t let us say anything.” -said Baek Chun

Un Gum smiled brightly and opened his mouth.

“Is this an order from the Sect Leader?” – said Un Gum

“Yes, to be exact, Sect Leader and Elders.” -said Chung Myung

“Um, I see.” – said Un Gum

Baek Chun glanced at it and whispered softly enough for only Un Gum’s ears to hear.

“Sasuke. If it is inconvenient, I will talk to the Sect Leader and ask to separate the generations.” -said Baek Chun

Un Gum looked at him with a bright smile.

“Thank you for your attention. But there is no need to do that.” – said Un Gum

“Hngg, I feel a little depressed.” -said Un Am

Unexpectedly, it was Un Am who complained. Un Gum looked at him with a slightly strange look.

“Then should I send the kids back?” – said Un Gum

“It’s not the children who have to be sent back, it’s me who has to go back. Who am I to be given the opportunity to study the Violet Mist Divine Art with you? With my abilities, that wouldn’t even be possible.” -said Un Am

Un Gum burst out laughing.

“Don’t be modest. Is there anyone on Mount Hua who doesn’t know that you are not weak?” – said Un Gum

“Who says I’m not weak. That’s a story from the past. However, I’m not comfortable with that. I will go out by talking to the Sect Leader…” -said Un Am

“I will definitely be scolded.” – said Un Gum

“Hngg. Correct?” -said Un Am

When Un Am grumbled, Un Gum looked at him with a warm smile.

In fact, Un Am could sit in the seat of the next generation of Mount Hua Sect Leader whenever he wanted. Even if it was Hyun Jong, there was no way to push him out. Un Am, who had served him for decades and protected Mount Hua.
The moment Un Am wanted to take over as Sect Leader was a time of no hope for Mount Hua. Nobody wanted the position of Sect Leader on Mount Hua back then.

When everyone was avoiding him, he quietly stepped forward and tried to bring about Mount Hua’s future. When Mount Hua’s future was bright, he was willing to hand over his position to the next generation.

How could someone not respect a man like that?

The reason why Un Am was complaining now was probably because he felt burdened to learn the Violet Mist Divine Art, which by rule was only mastered by successive Sect Leaders.

Now, thanks to Hyun Jong’s instructions, all Mount Hua disciples could learn the Violet Mist Divine Art as long as they had the ability, but human perception did not change that easily.
Hence, it was clear that he wanted to unleash the Violet Mist Divine Art and block all comments from behind.

Un Am scratched his head and asked Chung Myung.

“So, Chung Myung. Did Sect Leader tell us that we should learn from you?” -said Un Am

“No, not like that.” -said Chung Myung

Chung Myung smiled shyly.

“Of course, if the situation requires it, I should do it regardless of the procedure, but now that’s not the situation. There are other people who can teach beside me.” -said Chung Myung

“Hah? So…….” -said Un Am

“They’re coming.” -said Chung Myung

Just then, the sound of someone walking came from below the practice field. Everyone, who was lined up, turned their eyes towards the direction the voice came from at once.

“Oh, Sect Leader… … .” – said Un Gum

Un Gum, who was trying to salute the Sect Leader, tilted his head for a moment.

‘Sect Leader?’ -un Gum thought

It was the Sect Leader…

It must be Hyun Jong, but why is there something different?

He blinked his eyes, but the person standing in the middle was definitely Hyun Jong. And standing on the left and right are Hyun Sang and Hyun Young.
Even though they were people he had seen most of his life, there was a strange feeling of seeing strangers.

Sraaakkkk!

“Uh. Tsk!”

Hyun Young looked away when he heard the sound of tearing cloth.

“Hey, I told you to wear something loose! Who do you think should fix it and give you new clothes?” -said the financial elder

“I wear a bigger one.” -said the sect leader

“Is your body solved by just wearing a little bigger? Please wear the size you usually wore when you were young. No, something bigger than that.” -said the financial elder

“…Okay.” -said the sect leader

Un Am also tilted his head at the conversation between the two.

‘Are the clothes too small? Why?’ -un Am thought

‘Last time I saw them they looked thin, did they gain weight in the meantime…….’ -un Am thought

‘Hah?’

Un Am, who was secretly looking at the three people, gasped. It’s not just a feeling, it seems like Hyun Jong’s body looks bigger than before.

‘Is that what they call Spiritual Aura?’ -un Am thought

‘That’s why he looks bigger……. Hah?’ -un Am thought

With every step he took, Hyun Jong’s chest bulged. Looking at him, even his shoulders… No, his thighs look thicker…

Un Am’s cheeks began to tremble.

“They really look bigger,” said Un Am

Not only Hyun Jong but also the Elders next to him looked bigger than before.

‘No, how could someone suddenly grow up like that?’ -un Am thought

Of course, as people get older, straightening a hunched back can have the same effect as getting taller, but can their bodies get bigger and look different? That doesn’t make sense.

Before they realized it, Hyun Jong and the approaching Elders were standing in front of them.

“Everyone is here.” -said the sect leader

“Yes, Sect Leader!” – said the student

Mount Hua disciples saw Hyun Jong with new eyes. Of course, for them, who were martial artists, how intimidating could a physical presence be…

‘No, no matter how I look, it’s impressive?’ – thought the sect leader

Everyone swallowed dry saliva while looking at Hyun Jong. Not only did he grow a little bigger, but the atmosphere seemed to change too.

If they found a word to describe it… they could feel the presence of a strong person…

Then Hyun Jong smiled and opened his mouth.

“I will now impart the Violet Mist Divine Art to you. This is a very difficult and complicated martial art, so learning it will not be easy, but I hope you will all do your best to follow along.” -said the Sect Leader

“Yes, Sect Leader!” – said the student

The Mount Hua disciples answered loudly with excitement on their faces.

Correct. Why was it so important to change the Sect Leader’s appearance? What was important was that they were now learning the Violet Mist Divine Art for themselves.

‘Mount Hua’s best martial arts!’ -thought the student

‘A legendary martial art that has been practiced!’ -thought the student

‘The strongest Energy Art that only the Sect Leader of Mount Hua learned in the past!’ -thought the student

There is not a single adjective that is not impressive. It was now finally possible to learn the Violet Mist Divine Art, which could be considered the core of Mount Hua’s martial arts.

“First…….” -said the sect leader

That’s just now.

“Sect Leadereeeeeeer!” -said Tang So-so

“Hm?” -said the sect leader

The sudden sound made Hyun Jong look in the direction of the sound. Several people ran towards him from a distance.

“Soso?” -said the sect leader

“……Baek Sang?” -said the sect leader

Baek Chun tilted his head at the familiar faces leading the group.

Why are they here?

Those who came ran and saluted Hyun Jong and the Elders.

“Is there any problem?” -said the sect leader

When asked the reason, Baek Sang hesitated and looked around Hyun Jong. Then, he opened his mouth firmly as if he had made up his mind.

“Sect Leader!” – said Baek Sang

However, before his words even continued, Un Am frowned and snapped at him first.

“It is true that Mount Hua is a comfortable place for its disciples, but does it make sense to flock to the Sect Leader without saying a word beforehand?” – scolded Un Am

“That’s okay.” -said the sect leader

Hyun Jong, who smiled lightly and persuaded Un Am, looked at Baek Sang with warm eyes.

“Tell me. Why are you hesitating?” -said the sect leader

“S-Sect Leader. will those gathered here learn the Violet Mist Divine Art?” -said Baek Sang

“That’s right.” -said the sect leader

“Sect Leader!” – said Baek Sang

Baek Sang hurriedly shouted and kowtowed in place. Then, those who came with him also fell to the ground prostrating themselves.

When Hyun Jong was shocked and tried to lift his students, Baek Sang shouted in a voice full of determination.

“We understand that we are lacking compared to those gathered here. We are not saying that the Sect Leader’s choice was wrong. Even if I had to choose someone, I would definitely choose my Sasuk, Sahyung, and Sajil who are present here.” – said Baek Sang

After swallowing the dry lump in his throat, he continued his words.

“That’s why, Sect Leader. Please don’t misunderstand and listen to me. We do not argue that the decision is unfair, but we came here, in a desperate desire to have the same opportunity.” -said Baek Sang

“Did you say chance?” -said the sect leader

“Yes!”

Baek Sang suddenly raised his head. His eyes flashed with enthusiasm.

“Of course, I know we are lacking. But we have also tried hard. So please, don’t assume that the skills you know about us before are the only ones we have. We boldly ask for the opportunity to fully demonstrate our abilities and be evaluated.” -said Baek Sang

“Hmm.”

Hyun Jong stroked his beard as if he was deep in thought.

Then, Tang Soso, who had been paying close attention, spoke up.

“Sect Leader. We all know that the decisions of the Sect Leader and Elders are fair. But it would be regrettable to just wait for the opportunity behind.” -said Tang So-so

“Regret?” -said the sect leader

“Yes, because we too… we are also martial artists.” -said Tang So-so

Hyun Jong smiled gently and asked Tang Soso.

“You don’t want to be left behind?” -said the sect leader

“I’m so incapable. I have not mastered the Twenty-Four Plum Blossom Sword Techniques, nor have I fully studied Mount Hua’s martial arts compared to the others. I know that best myself. However!” -said Tang So-so

Tang-Soso’s eyes looked straight at Hyun Jong as clearly as possible. Only pure, unblemished aspirations filled the eyes.

“If I always step back because I realize the gap between me and them, I will never be able to catch up to Sahyung and Sasuk. Therefore, please give me a chance to prove myself.” -said Tang So-so

Listening to the conversation, Un Am rebuked firmly with a stiff face.

“Even if you have such thoughts, is this the place to flock to say such things! Is this how I teach you guys?” – said Un Am angrily

“I’m sorry, Sasuke.” -said Tang So-so

“Retreat quickly.” -said Un Am

“Un Am, wait a moment.” -said the sect leader

However, Hyun Jong stopped Un Am and smiled again this time.

“I don’t think that’s too wrong. In fact, it might be cruel to those who are not chosen if we just discuss and choose someone among us. So we need a method that is acceptable to everyone.” -said the sect leader

And he looked at Hyun Sang and asked.

“What do you think?” -said the sect leader

“Hmm. Of course, we cannot always choose in such a harsh way. But not this time. We cannot directly set standards for them. We must reject their request and improve the subsequent selection process.” -said Hyun Sang

Hyun Jong nodded as if he had a point. This time, he looked at Hyun Young and asked.

“What do you think?” -said the sect leader

Hyun Young sneered as if it was ridiculous to ask such a question.

“Let them do it.” -said the financial elder

“Elder-nim!” – said the student

“Elder Hyun Young!” – said the student

The students’ eyes started to sparkle.

Hard to believe. No one expected Hyun Young, who always casually waved his hand as if he was annoyed with everything, would support the students.

“Will it be okay?” -said the sect leader

“Well, if they want to learn a lot, there’s no reason not to let them. However…” -said the financial elder

“However?” -said the sect leader

Hyun Young glanced meaningfully at the gathered students.

“There is no need to create ‘standards’. If we just work hard now and only teach those who survive, no one will complain.” -said the financial elder

“…Only they survived?” -said the sect leader

“Yes.” -said the financial elder

“What are you going to do to them?” -said the sect leader

“We can make them do anything. The method is not important. What matters is something else.” -said the financial elder

“What’s that?” -said the sect leader

“That…….” -said the financial elder

Hyun Young’s lips twitched slightly,

“By rule, challenging a sect elder’s decision is the same as breaking the hierarchy. Even more so if it was the Sect Leader’s choice. Strictly speaking, all these people should be whipped and thrown into the Cave of Repentance.” -said the financial elder

“…S- To that extent?” -said the sect leader

“I don’t recommend that. But… they insisted even though they knew the punishment, so they have to be responsible.” -said the financial elder

Hyun Young looked at everyone and said,

“I will give you a chance. However!” -said the financial elder

“…….”

“Those who lack the skills but force their way in will pay the price. Do not let! Never stop in the middle of the road. If you give up, I will make sure you regret it, for sure!” -said the financial elder

At that moment, Un Am and Un Gum shuddered from the cold.

It was a chill brought by memories.

A long time ago.

Previously Hyun Young took his hands off the students and took over the Financial Hall and took full responsibility for the affairs of Mount Hua’s survival, at that time.

It occurred to them who was called the Mount Hua demon before Chung Myung.

When the wide-eyed students raised their heads, they saw Hyun Young and Chung Myung standing behind him.

Chung Myung, smiling brightly like a happy child, attracted the attention of the other students by raising his hand. And he pretended to cut his throat with his thumb secretly.

“You guys are finished.” -said Chung Myung

“…….”

At that time, everyone had a hunch. Something…… Even if something was wrong, this one was absolutely wrong.
