Oh my! Disciple!
Here, this is a fruit we got just today!
You must be busy like every other day! How can we ever thank you?
Chung Myung smiled at the rchants of Xian, who were welcoming him with smiles.
This wouldnt be a problem, right?
Of course! Of course, Disciple! Since Disciple has taken down those bastards who tried to harass us two days ago, we havent found a single one of them moving around. After that, I dont think they would co back even with their resentnt.
Ah. Of course, it should be like that. Do not worry, Huayoung Gate will continue to manage the situation.
Oh my! We managed to live all thanks to Disciple.
Hehe! It was nothing.
This! Have this too! It is just before my
Here, our house serves the best gyoza in town!
Huh! Mine first!
Those who saw Chung Myung rushed to him with sothing in either hand.
Chung Myung smiled as he took gifts from here and there.
Oh my. I told you not to keep giving things each ti I co mooncakes I love mooncakes.
Oh my! If our disciple likes them, then we should bring more! I will send a separate box over to the Gate!
Hehe. If you are going to do that please put my na on it. Because others might touch it.
The faces of the Mount Hua disciples, who were watching this spectacle from behind, contorted at this.
I feel it all the ti but isnt this like a thug collecting money?
Definitely no, the people are doing this with good intentions, so it isnt a bad thing.
No matter how I look at it, it seems like an evil person is managing this area.
He suits the role well.
right.
The fa of Chung Myung was rising without anyone realizing just how much, and he had beaten down the enemies who ca to harm the people.
Ohh. Disciple, our child turned four this year, by any chance
Eh. Lets teach them when the bones turn a bit stronger. Right now, it will only make them sick, feed the child well and make them strong and then we will accept them.
The people around imdiately chid in after Chung Myung had answered,
Huh! You should inquire about that at Huayoung Gate! How can a disciple like him be asked to know about such trivial matters?! He is the one who will be the greatest swordsman in the world!
Then! Then! That would be huge!
Yes!
Mount Hua disciples couldnt understand this heated reaction.
No, why is this guy so popular?
Is it because people dont know what kind of a moron he normally is? If they climbed up to Mount Hua and experienced that place for one day, they would run away without even a single look back.
This didnt sit well with the disciples of Mount Hua, but unfortunate as it may be, Xian didnt know the true attitude of Chung Myung.
Because of this, they were more friendly to Chung Myung.
The reason?
Sure, they must have so reasons too
Please do look favorably on us! We will try our best!
Disciple! Dont say that! You should be the one looking out for us.
Oh my, how humble you are.
Baek Cheon was convinced that 90% of the reason was Chung Myungs current attitude.
It was like that even now. While receiving food and chatting, Chung Myungs waist would bend into a bow and co up three to four tis in the blink of an eye.
And his waist, which didnt mind bending like a knee, was a hard thing to normally find in a place like this.
Especially difficult when the Southern Edge Sect was here.
Xian was like the ho of Southern Edge, so often the disciples from Southern Edge would walk around like they owned the place. But this man was showing humility and humbleness to normal people of Xian?
Yet they had once sided with Southern Edge, though?
It cannot be.
Thinking back on Jin Geum-Ryong, it was obvious.
It might be embarrassing, but before Baek Cheon had his head broken by Chung Myung, the fact he was a disciple from a prestigious sect had definitely placed a chip on his shoulder.
He believed that as long as he learned martial arts, he couldnt be compared with ordinary people, and that attitude had almost ruined him.
So what did ordinary people see when they saw Chung Myung bowing to them?
Unsurprisingly, the praises didnt stop.
As expected of a prestigious sect. Mount Huas Divine Dragon will one day be the most discussed title, but he has such a humble nature!
Right! Isnt this what it ans to be a Taoist? I heard that Mount Hua isnt simply a sword sect that only depends on its sword. Rather, their disciples respect the Tao. Now I know what this truly ans.
A true disciple! Seriously! A true Taoist! So different from Southern Edge.
Everyone.
What you are seeing now with your own eyes is the worst example of a Taoist!
If the great Taoist descends to the ground, I am sure that he will run for this man first and kick him!
So please, turn back to reality
Everyone is being fooled!
Be quiet, Sasuk.
Shhh.
But before he could tell them the truth, Jo Gul and Yu Yiseol noticed him, and Baek Cheon sighed with a frustrated face.
But well it was true that with the na of Chung Myung, even the na and fa of Mount Hua and Huayoung Gate was increasing with each day
Now, just seeing people wearing the robes of Huayoun Gate made the residents run to greet them first.
Well, he is a good one.
Baek Cheon had no choice but to admit that Chung Myung was the driving force.
And then
Whisper.
Uh?
He heard a commotion behind the crowd.
What is it?
He narrowed his eyes, as the commotion didnt seem like one caused by the gathering of people. So, being curious, he looked.
Ah?
Eventually, his eyes began to notice a couple of things, the faces of strangers.
Was it Yu Hae-sang?
The one in the forefront seed to be Yu Hae-sang, a gate leader from one of the Southern Edge sub-sects. And behind him were his disciples, walking with their faces down.
Huh?!
Haha. Look at them, being thick-skinned.
When they want to run, they run away at night and now co back with their faces shining in the light? Seriously.
And, of course, the reaction of the people had changed from the past too.
There, see that knife with them. I dont know why they hold a knife when you wont even pull it out.
Pull it out? Why would they pull it out for us?
Ah, right! Hehe. They only threatened people with their swords because we were normal people, and we made an agreent with them but the mont those bandits ca, they pulled their tails between their legs and ran! Ptoey!
The voices of criticism grew louder. And Yu Hae-sangs face twisted as they walked forward.
Of course, this wasnt their first ti being stared at like this.
But so far, only a few people had turned their heads away and clicked their tongues; it was never such a large group that was lashing out at them.
And now, werent they simply swearing at their faces?
how can they!
C-Control yourself, Leader.
Ugh.
Yu Hae-sang suppressed his anger at the urging of the voice which told him to control himself.
He knew he had made a mistake. But it still wasnt easy for him to accept all this swearing that was being directed right at them, considering how the people were nothing before this.
Get out of here! You scamrs!
Those who cannot do anything for us dont have to be with us! We will do what you did!
I dont know what kind of thoughts they had coming back here in broad daylight! If it were , I wouldnt have even stepped into Xian!
However, the criticism didnt stop, and he couldnt hold it in any longer,
You cheeky bastards!
In the end, his face was so red it seed like it would explode from anger. Yet, he was ashad of the mistake he had made.
He had co back and set foot in Xian only because he had to run away in a hurry last night. His manor was almost like a palace for him; even if his enemies fought and the place was set on fire and destroyed, the value of the place stayed the sa so how could he leave Xian?
But he was confident enough to co back and endure the cold shoulders he would be shown. He never imagined that such powerless people would curse him.
Look at them acting out! Who do you think I am!
He partially drew the sword around his waist, and the people scolding him flinched and stepped back.
L-Leader!
Leader! You cannot do that.
In response to his violent outburst, his disciples all tried to stop him.
Let go of !
But he was far from being cald and spoke with an even louder voice.
Even though I made a mistake, I didnt do anything that deserved for to be cursed like this! All that I did for Xian all these years! And you ungrateful things! Co at ! If you are going to treat like a thief and a scamr, then maybe I should act like one!
The faces of the rchants all distorted at those threats.
Dont you dare forget who I am! I am
Who are you?
what?
At that ti, a bored voice ca from the background.
And people quickly moved left and right. It was Chung Myung who walked through the crowd.
uh
Yu Hae-sang went silent.
He was wondering why so many had gathered, so this was the reason, the people from Mount Hua.
Why
Why didnt I think of this?
He was yelling at a crowd of people, which was quite unusual in Xian, and he should have realized why there had been such a large crowd. But at this mont, he realized he had made another mistake.
ah, who are you?
Ah
Chung Myung looked at Yu Hae-sang like he was bored and clicked his tongue,
Mister. No matter how high the tower you build is, once it collapses, that is the end.
Yu Hae-sang went silent.
Of course, for you, it might seem like a single mistake. But people say from that one ti, they understood that you abandoned them when people with blades ca over. The mont you abandoned them in that situation, you are a scamr.
I-I
And.
Chung Myung smiled as he said,
I dont know why you ca back, but now this isnt the Xian you used to know. You better leave before sothing worse happens.
As soon as those words were finished, the crowd began to cheer from all directions.
Right!
How dare you set foot in Xian!!
Why co back? To run away even faster this ti?
Yu Hae-sang closed his eyes shut. He had expected this, but the reality was even more severe.
The public sentint had turned against them, and seeing this with his own eyes made him feel defeat a hundred tis worse.
Ah, and one thing more.
Chun Myungs eyes finally fully opened,
If you ever dare draw your sword or even threaten soone in Xian with it, I will cut your hands off.
Here is money ah no, these are the parents of our precious disciples here, and threatening them is like going against Huayoung Gate.
Those who paid money to the gate.
Ahm.
You understand?
Yu Hae-sang lowered his head at those words.
After his reasoning was gone, only skills remained, and he didnt have skills that could counter Mount Huas Divine Dragon.
He hesitated and finally nodded,
I understand.
The disciples also couldnt raise their heads and continued to leave their heads bowed.
The crowd parted, and Yu Hae-sang and his disciples passed between them like defeated soldiers.
Looking at their miserable appearance, Baek Cheon shook his head.
Public sentint is quite scary.
Who would have known that people would change like this in just a couple of days? Well, Chung Myung suddenly approached Baek Cheon and said,
Sasuk.
Uh?
Keep an eye on them.
why? Think they will do sothing?
No. If they do sothing, just go and use that as an excuse to throw them out.
Baek Cheon was stunned at this.
Chung Myung you are seriously too much.
A little more, and it felt like they will have a seizure should we have let them be cursed a little more?
Chung Myung?
Uh?
Live like a human.
Ah. You think there is soone more human than ?
Baek Cheon shook his head.
Well, with this kid even if he was wrong, check again because he wasnt wrong.
The disciples of Mount Hua, who had been inspecting Xian until late at night, entered the Gate.
Now, it seems like Xian is sorted.
A bit too sorted.
Then we should start getting ready to head back.
Is there really nothing left in Huayoung?
We can hold on for a while, but I have no intention of staying here. From now, it is Huayoung Gates business to handle Xian.
Wei Lishan And Wei Soheng would do a good job.
Also, the distance between Mount Hua and here wasnt far, so if sothing happened, they could always get here quickly.
Until Southern Edge opens its gates, there is no problem.
Really?
Hahah. What problem could co up after all this?
Chung Myung looked proud.
But, after opening the gates to the sub-sect, even he realized new things. Problems constantly co from the most unexpected places
C-Chung Myung! Chung Myunggggg!
Oh my, Chung Myung!
Eik! Baek Cheon Sasuk! Why now?
uh?
Mount Huas disciples and several Huayoung disciples were running over.
What! Did those evil bastards co back again?
I-It isnt that!
Then?
Ghost!
uh?
One of the Huayoung Gates disciples scread,
A Ghost ca!
What bullshit was this now?
Chung Myungs face contorted.
