Return of the flowery Mountain Sect English - Chapter 751

Chapter 751 It will be fine (1)

“Uh….” -muttered the student

The third year students gathered in the White Plum Dormitory stared at each other with empty eyes.

“…I can’t eat.” -muttered the student

“My stomach ache is really bad.” -muttered the student

“I haven’t been able to sleep properly for three days because of the nightmares I’ve been having….” -muttered the student

They all sighed in unison after observing each other’s miserable state.

“Why… Why did he do that?” – said the student

“Do you think he is crazy?” – said the student

“Well, he’s always crazy, isn’t he?” – said the student

“That’s true, but….” – said the student

No, actually, the problem wasn’t that he was going crazy, but that he wasn’t crazy yet. This is a problem because he’s not crazy, but he acts like one.

“So, what’s a crazy person… I mean, what’s a sane person to do now? “-said the student

“Sweeping Jade Spring Hall.” – said the student

“Jade Spring Hall?” – said the student

“Yeah, I mean… He said that the foundation of every sect is the ancestral temple and a sect that doesn’t take care of the ancestral temple properly is a sect that doesn’t respect its ancestors properly. He said he would clean it again….” – said the student

Yang Ho covered his face with sadness.

“No, why does he suddenly always say the right thing….why!” -said Yang Ho

His shoulders drooped weakly again after a while. brief torment. Testimony poured in again next to him.

“It gave me the creeps. I’ve been watching him squeaky clean, and he always mumbles Sect Leader Sahyung (Jangmun Sahyung) over and over again to himself…. -said Yang Ho

“Sahyung Sect Leader? You mean Baek Chun Sahyung?” – said the student

“How can I know what’s in his mind? He seems to have completely lost his mind.” -said Yang Ho

“This is driving me crazy. Really…….” – said the student

Just imagining Chung Myung obsessively cleaning and sweeping the ancestral temple and muttering unintelligible words made them shudder.

At that time, Gwak Hee who was peeking around carefully opened his mouth.

“But Sahyung,” said Gwak Hee

“Hm?” -said Yang Ho

“If you think about it calmly, it’s not that bad. This may seem strange and difficult to accept, but if you think about it, isn’t Chung Myung getting better?” -said Gwak Hee

“…That’s the problem.” -said Yang Ho

“No, that is indeed a problem, but…….” -said Gwak Hee

Gwak Hee said firmly.

“Wouldn’t it be better if we just adapted? Do you prefer the kind Chung Myung, or the crazy Chung Myung?” -said Gwak Hee

“What kind of question is that, you idiot!” -said Yang Ho

Yang Ho shouted loudly as if he didn’t need to think.

“The crazy ones are better!” -said Yang Ho

“Hah?” -said Gwak Hee

Gwak Hee gasped at the unexpected answer. However, the others seemed to agree with Yang Ho’s words and shook their heads in unison.

“Crazy Chung Myung is better.” -said Yang Ho

“At least we’re used to it.” -said Yang Ho

“Correct.” -said another student

Gwak Hee shook like there was an earthquake.

‘No, but….’ – thought Gwak Hee

‘Even though it sounds right when you hear it… Uh….’ – thought Gwak Hee

“Leave him alone, if I keep looking at him like that, I’ll explode and die right away.” -said Yang Ho

“That’s what I feel!” – said the student

“Yuanshi Tianzun. Why did you put us through this ordeal?” – said the student

The third year students sighed with faces full of despair.

“…But he will stop acting like this soon, right?” – said the student

“Do you know how many days this has been going on? ? Even if he pretends, he won’t be able to last this long.”-said the student

“So you’re saying he’ll continue like this?” – said the student

“Impossible….” – said the student

They all shivered once and then looked in the same direction. . It was from the Jade Spring Hall side, where Chung Myung was said to be cleaning and sweeping.

Sreeek.

Sreeekkk!

There was light coming from a statue of the Jade Emperor on one side of the Jade Spring Hall. It was so sparkling clean, it looked like it had been freshly made and freshly oiled.

Srekkk!

Chung Myung wiped the face of the altar with a clean cloth.

“Um…” – muttered Chung Myung
Sagak.

He trimmed the slightly protruding parts neatly, and the proportions were correct. Chung Myung muttered with a bright smile.

“It’s enough.” – muttered Chung Myung

Clean. Very clean .
His face was full of satisfaction. He looked around Jade Spring Hall with a refreshed face.

Jade Spring Hall. This place, usually called the ancestral shrine, was the place where the tablets of the past Sect Leaders of Mount Hua were kept and a place to honor the spirits of the ancestors.

“A lot has changed here too.”
When he first entered Mount Hua, only a few remained in Jade Spring Hall. Not to mention expensive ceremonial equipment and Taoist antiques, even the treasures collected by Mount Hua had been sold, leaving only the ancestral tablets unguarded.

However, as Mount Hua accumulated wealth and Hyun Young renovated Mount Hua’s interior, Jade Spring Hall also regained some of its past appearance.
“Well, it still takes time to get the White Plum Blossoms….” (Things in the first chapter)

The Zaha Divine Sword, which was a treasure of Mount Hua along with the White Plum Blossom, had not been found. Even when they asked the Eunha Merchant Guild and the Beggar Guild to look for it, it was strangely well hidden. Either it must have been hidden in some rich family’s collection warehouse, or apparently someone who didn’t understand its value was selling it for a cheap price.

It’s certainly disappointing that they haven’t been able to recover the item once known as the Divine Weapon. But it wasn’t that important. What was more important was Mount Hua itself.

Chung Myung began cleaning the tablets of each ancestor one by one with a clean surface..

“Jangmun Sahyung, the descendants of Mount Hua have grown a lot. Seeing them makes me proud. Looks like it’s time for everyone to stand on their own as you and I hoped…” -murmured Chung Myung

– Stop your nonsense! What the hell is wrong with you!

“Why are you shouting at me? I also have to grow up.” – muttered Chung Myung

– Oh Lord.

Chung Myung started wiping the tablets one by one with a careful touch. After a long time, Jade Spring Hall, which had become incomparably cleaner than when it was first cleaned, caught his eye.

“Hm, good.” – muttered Chung Myung

He nodded in satisfaction and folded the cloth smoothly.

“Jangmun Sahyung.” – muttered Chung Myung

Then he suddenly muttered, looking at the memorial tablet.

“Come to think of it, everything Sect Leader said was right. That’s what Chung Jin also said. He said I was someone who couldn’t leave anything behind on Mount Hua. That means I can’t understand ordinary students, but on the other hand, it also means that students can’t grow any bigger in my arms.” – muttered Chung Myung

As long as Chung Myung was around, there would be no reason for Mount Hua to suffer from other sects. Just like Mount Hua in the past.

But after Chung Myung disappeared?

Eventually, the other disciples had to lead Mount Hua. If Chung Myung behaved like now, the other Mount Hua disciples would have to suffer because of Chung Myung’s absence.

That’s not what Chung Myung wanted.

Hadn’t he already experienced the devastating collapse of Mount Hua after he died? What Chung Myung wanted was not a strong Mount Hua, but a strong Mount Hua without his presence.

“Kids may be going through a tough time right now, but in the end, they will be able to do just fine on their own. They may get hurt and go through hard times… but they will learn how valuable it is.” – muttered Chung Myung

“… No, no. That’s how they grow.” – muttered Chung Myung

– Looks like your true feelings are coming out.

“Haha. Why are you bothering me again? It was a mistake, a mistake.” – muttered Chung Myung

Chung Myung waved his hand.

And he looked up at Mount Hua, visible from Jade Spring Hall, with a serious face.

“At some point, I thought I had to step back. This happened a little quicker than I expected. This is definitely the right thing to do. Sect Leader Hyun Jong said so, and Baek Chun Sasuk also suggested the same thing. .”-murmured Chung Myung

Of course, that doesn’t mean Chung Myung has completely retired from parenthood. Until now, considering his abilities, Chung Myung was too involved in everything regarding Mount Hua. Recently, he even had to sacrifice some of his personal training time.

Now everything is gradually falling back into place. In the end, just like with Mount Hua in the past, they had to build a system where Mount Hua gained strength from Chung Myung’s presence alone, without him having to be at the forefront of every little thing.

“You should trust your students more. That’s the role of adults.” – muttered Chung Myung

Chung Myung’s expression softened a little.

Although it feels a bit empty when a toddler gradually distances himself by jumping away from his arms, this is a natural change and regularity.

“Then what do we do next?” – muttered Chung Myung

Chung Myung left Jade Spring Hall with a basket filled with washcloths.

And he started moving towards his next destination, which was around the Sect Leader’s residence. No, he tried.

“Sect Leadereeeeee!” -said Du Yuncan

“Hah?” -said Chung Myung

With a loud sound at the gate, someone ran over at an incredible speed.

“Hah? Munju Yuryong Sect?” -said Chung Myung

Chung Myung, who confirmed Du Yuncan, tilted his head. Is the yangban still in Huayin? Why hasn’t he come back yet?

“Sect Leader! Is Sect Leader here!” -said Du Yuncan

At that loud shout, the door of the Sect Leader’s residence opened. Hyun Jong ran out with a surprised face to greet him.

“Munju-nim. What is it?” -said the sect leader

“We, we have found it!” -said Du Yuncan

“Yes?” -said the sect leader

Du Yuncan shouted with a white face.

“M- My student! One of the students who went on a mission and went missing has been found.” -said Du Yuncan

Hyun Jong’s eyes widened.

“He-He’s still alive?” -said the sect leader

“Yes! Luckily, he seems to have survived. He somehow managed to send a message…” -said Du Yuncan

“So.” -said the sect leader

“What we are facing are really pirates. He was ambushed and fell into the river, but miraculously survived.” -said Du Yuncan

Everyone’s faces, including the elders who had gathered, hardened.

“Hmm. This is not good news. But isn’t this something we have anticipated?” -said the sect leader

“What’s important is the next information.” -said Du Yuncan

“Yes?” -said the sect leader

Du Yuncan took a short breath and swallowed dry saliva.

“The pirates, who attacked it, kidnapped everyone on board to prevent this news from reaching Mount Hua’s ears.” -said Du Yuncan

“…Kidnapped? Did you just say kidnapped?” -said the sect leader

“Yes, Sect Leader! No more mistake.” -said Du Yuncan

“…What is this…!” -said the sect leader

Hyun Jong’s face turned pale.

“What do they want to do with innocent civilians?” -said the sect leader

“From what I heard, pirates kidnap civilians and sell them as slaves to foreign countries.….” -said Du Yuncan

“Is there such a crazy bastard!” -said the sect leader

Curses erupted from Hyun Jong’s mouth, who usually did not use harsh words.

It was a completely different matter to commit evil acts against the same people in Kangho and touch civilians.

And…….

‘If rumors spread that all this happened because of Mount Hua, how would people in the world view Mount Hua?’ -said the sect leader

Of course, Mount Hua was innocent. It’s not a sin to do business.

But there is a subtle side to public sentiment, and it doesn’t always play out with common sense. If news spread that civilians had suffered greatly because of the business Mount Hua was doing, Mount Hua’s reputation might also fall to rock bottom.

“Sect Leader, don’t we need to take action quickly?” -said the financial elder

Hyun Young spoke in an uncharacteristically serious voice. He also didn’t know the seriousness of the situation.

“Hmm. We have to rescue them as quickly as possible.” -said the sect leader

Hyun Jong nodded firmly.

“If we are too late and the civilians have already been sold into slavery, it will be a long matter to rescue them….” -said the sect leader

However, no matter how fast, it takes time to arrive at the location.

‘Even if I send a letter to Baek Chun….it will be difficult for them to deal with the pirate group alone…….’ – thought the sect leader

Is there really no other way….

Hyun Jong, who made his decision after much thought, suddenly opened his eyes and shouted.

“Chung Myung-ah!” -said the sect leader

“Yes?” -said Chung Myung

In a short time, Chung Myung approached and looked at Hyun Jong.

‘Correct.’ – thought the sect leader

‘This is better. Rather than seeing it like this…’ -the sect leader thought

“I’m afraid you should go to the Yangtze River first. I will send another student through Un Gum, so go ahead and prevent the pirates from selling the civilians into slavery.” -said the sect leader

Even if it was difficult to wipe out the pirates, it could at least be achieved with Chung Myung’s abilities.

Then, in the meantime, Mount Hua’s main army would arrive, and they could sweep away the pirates. It was a pretty perfect plan, or so Hyun Jong thought to himself.

“Yangtze River?” -said Chung Myung

“Yes!” -said the sect leader

“I?” -said Chung Myung

“Yes, you…….” -said the sect leader

‘Wait a moment.’ – thought the sect leader

‘Did he just say ‘me?” – thought the sect leader

Hyun Jong, who pondered the words that seemed impossible to come out of Chung Myung’s mouth, looked away with a blank face.

And at that moment, Hyun Jong saw him.

Chung Myung’s face, which had been so gentle and calm for the past few days, showed all kinds of resentment in the world. He even saw his head tilt to the side.

“Why me?” -said Chung Myung

“…….”

‘Ah….’

‘I think we’re screwed….’ – thought the sect leader
