Chapter 321 – That Is Something We’ll Have To Wait And See (1)
Baek Cheon, who was staring blankly at the two men who entered, suddenly came to his senses and swooped in
“W-we greet the abbot!”
Thanks to this all the disciples of Mount Hua got up and bowed to the man.
The abbot smiled
“Please understand our sudden rudeness of coming here without contacting you beforehand.”
“Rudeness? Not at all!”
Baek Cheon’s palms were beginning to sweat
This isn’t a polite thing he was saying. Wasn’t this man the abbot of Shaolin who everyone in kangho wants to meet at least once?
And for such a person to walk directly into Mount Hua’s residence was amazing
“But why did the abbot have to…”
The abbot smiled and said
“Of course we came here on business, but I don’t think I should speak of it here. Is the sect leader inside?”
Baek Cheon was a bit surprised.
“Ah, I apologize. I should have informed the sect leader… Baek Sang! Quickly tell the sect leader that the abbot of Shaolin has come!”
“Yes, sahyung!”
Baek Sang sprinted up with all his might and the rest of them stood still, not knowing how to deal with the abbot. And then the abbot looked at one side
“Right.”
He smiled as he made eye contact with Chung Myung
“Are the preparations for finals going well, Mount Hua’s Divine Dragon?”
Hearing this, Chung Myung chuckled.
“Do I need to prepare for it? it is just a fight.”
“a fight.”
The abbot nodded as if he liked the answer.
“Right. It is just a fight. Hae Yeon should know that.”
“Hm?”
Just as Chung Myung was about to ask something, Baek Sang rushed ahead.
“Please come up, I will guide you. Chung Myung as well. sect leader asked you to come along.”
“Yes.”
Chung Myung got up without hesitation.
“Come on”
“Thank you”
The abbot smiled and followed Baek Sang up the floor
When the abot, Hae Yeon and Chung Myung went in, the other disciples finally relaxed.
“Why did he come?”
“… don’t know.”
Everyone looked at the floor where the four of them left and looked blank
“Come on in, abbot.”
“Thank you for the hospitality.”
“hehehe. It is difficult to consider this hospitality. You should have called for me abbot, why did you have to come all this way?”
At Hyun Jong’s words, the abbot smiled
“This place might be Shaolin, but this is the place the Mount Hua is given, so I am the guest here.”
“Ah.”
“How about something to take?”
“Then shall we have tea?”
“Do we have grain tea?”
“We have the normal one.”
“Umm. That is a pity. It would be better if it wasn’t a normal one.”
“hahaha. If the abbot says that, that puts us in trouble. Hahaha.”
Seeing Hyun Jong talking softly, Chung Myung smiled.
‘Wipe the sweat and smile’
He was speaking fine but the sweat was glistening on his face, which made it all too awkward. It felt like he was being pitied.
However, Chung Myung wouldn’t look at him like that. he knew how difficult it must be for Hyun Jong to sit with the abbot
“Ahem.”
Chung Myung coughed lightly.
It meant to not be too scared.
Then Hyun Jong gently raised his head and looked at Chung Myung. The crumpled face relaxed.
“So.”
Chung Myung wanted to get to the point and leave already.
“What did you come here for?”
At abbot looked at Chung Myung.
“Right, before the finals…”
“It doesn’t seem like you came here to make friends before the fight, right?”
The abbot smiled at Chung Myung without saying a word.
‘You are more daring than I thought.’
His gaze lingered on Chung Myung.
Even Hyun Jong, the sect leader of Mount Hua couldn’t hide the nervousness in front of the abbot.
But Chung Myung wasn’t the least bit nervous in front of him or Hae Yeon. No, on the contrary he looked like he was bored
Was it bold? Or thoughtless?
‘Neither of it.’
He felt oldness.
Even though it wasn’t possible to know, watching Chung Myung felt like he was a old man with the most experience in the world.
No
‘Maybe worse than that?’
It cannot be. Of course that cannot be
The abbot is someone who has confidence in himself. He believed that sometimes flash of sixth sense can tell more than a reasonable thought
But this time, he couldn’t accept the sixth sense.
‘It feels like an ancestor is here.’
So similar.
It seems like he was detached from the world yet subtly obsessed with it and he didn’t care what other people thought of
And even the insignificant words slyly thrown in pointed to it.
This is the feeling he got sometimes when dealing with the elders of Shaolin who stepped down from the role of abbot. It felt strange that such a sensation could be felt from a young man.
Of course the abbot wasn’t going to reveal it
“Mount Hua’s Divine Dragon, I cannot hide it from you. of course, there is a clear reason why we came to this place.”
Then he lifted his head and looked at Hyun Jong
“Sect leader.”
“Please tell me, abbot.”
“How do you view the strength of ours?”
“How can I answer if you…”
The abbot then asked
“How did you feel about the competition?”
Hyun Jong narrowed his eyes.
It looked like saying it was difficult. the abbot looked at Hyun Jong and sighed
“Actually this competition was prepared for the harmony between the sects. But now that the finals have come up, the purpose of this competition couldn’t be achieved.”
“… um.”
“The Demonic Sect is finally making the move, and other things are starting to seep into it. if the Nine Great Sects One Union and the Five Great Families do not sit in harmony, we might have to go through a terrible war again.”
Hyun Jong nodded his head and he spoke with a heavy expression
“But why are you telling me this?”
“Amitabha. Unity is essential.”
The eyes of abbot shone.
“But if that doesn’t happen voluntarily. It has to be done by force. We need Mount Hua to do that.”
“… you are talking about us?”
“Yes.”
“No… but what can Mount Hua…”
Seeing Hyun Jong flustered, the abbot smiled.
“Sect leader. The meaning of Mount Hua is a lot more than you think.”
“… umm.”
“in this competition. Mount Hua has proven its ability to the world.”
“Isn’t it just one of the greater sects things?”
“It is the future of the sects. In other words, it means that the disciples who stood out in this competition will be likely to deal with the world in the future. Haven’t we the problem that it isn’t easy? Now, no sect can ignore Mount Hua.”
Hyun Jong tried to guess what the abbot was saying with these words. There was no expression on the old man’s face.
“So. Please help Shaolin. If Mount Hua helps us, the Shaolin can lead the Kangho in he future with true harmony.’
Chung Myung narrowed his eyes
‘So come under Shaolin?’
This is what he saw?
With an innocent face he was a political greedy bastard!
Hyun Jong was silent because he couldn’t find a right answer to this sudden offer, while Chung Myung slapped himself
“But.”
“Um.”
The abbot turned to look at Chung Myung.
“help isn’t one sided. Isn’t it right to only help each other?”
“Amitabha. The swordsman is speaking right.”
“Then what will the Shaolin do to help Mount Hua? It doesn’t look like we are being given anything?”
At the bold question, the abbot looked at him with strange eyes.
“Well. that worries me too. What should I do to help? Hmm. How about this?”
“…?”
“For example…”
The abbot smiled
“What if Shaolin supports you fully to get you back into the Nine Sects?”
Hyun Jong flinched a little.
“Nine sects? Come back too?”
The abbot nodded
“Right.”
Hyun Jong’s eyes widened like they would fall down
Of course, this isn’t a new story. Hyun Jong too has been thinking in his heart that if it goes on, plenty possibility will come up.
But.
If those words came from the mouth of Shaolin, it is different. Didn’t he even say ‘full support’?
The person sitting here is the abbot and no one else and he will side with Mount Hua?
This is nothing more than definite confirmation that Mount Hua will join the Nine Great Sects.
“How can such a promise be….”
“Sect leader.”
The abbot smiled
“I really appreciate the potential of Mount Hua very highly. However, this is what I am concerned. In the era of me and the sect leader, the Shaolin and Mount Hua can reconcile with each other. But…”
He paused for a moment and looked at Hae Yeon and Chung Myung as he said
“There is no guarantee that it will happen in the future.”
“…”
Hyun Jong didn’t lose sight of abbot looking at Chung Myung.
‘future?’
It don’t mean that right after they die. And that is why Hae yeon was brought here. In other words, Hae Yeon will be taking over Shaolin.
When Hae Yeon becomes the leader of Shaolin, then Mount Hua…
‘No! no!’
Hyun Jong thought in mind
Chung Myung is a bandit who runs madly around Mount Hua.
And he couldn’t dare hand over Mount Hua to him. He cannot be the sect leader. Because there was Baek Cheon and Yoon Jong who would do better.
However, it isn’t difficult to guess who the real power of Mount Hua will be as long as Chung Myung is alive.
Anyway, what if a world in which Hae yeon and Chung Myung coexist comes?
‘Harmony will stand.’
It is a bizarre way of expressing bad feelings to the other sects in Nine Great sects. If that is the case even now, wouldn’t it be terrifying if the two become a powerhouse?
Harmony or shit, it would be happy is the war didn’t happen
Only hen did Hyun Jong understand what the abbot was concerned about
“Arent you looking too far ahead?”
“That is the kind of place we sit in.”
That single sentence contains how heavy the position of abbot in Shaolin is
“if Shaolin and Mount Hua can reconcile, the kangho will be in peace.”
“…”
“Sect leader. The current situation isn’t a good one. We can see cracks in the relationships of the nine sects and the Five Great Families. The Demonic Sect is calling us out and the sects under them are growing stronger even now.”
The abbot looked at Hyun Jong with serious eyes
“These are the signs that troubles will come.”
“… I am nauseous.”
Hyun Jong went silent.
He thought this would be a light discussion but it feels like heavier things were being brought up and this was tough for him to handle.
“So think about it. if only Mount Hua helps Shaolin,, Shaolin will fully help Mount Hua. If that happens, it wouldn’t be difficult for Mount Hua to regain its glory.”
Of course
Because he is the abbot of Shaolin.
If Shaolin, which is the greatest point in kangho, supports another sect openly, who will rebel against it?
It is a sweet proposa
But
There are people in the world who despise such sweetness
“But”
The abbot turned his head and Chung Myung looked at him with an expressionless face.
“Why are you saying all this now?”
“Hm?”
“The finals are still to happen”
The abbot answered like he expected it
“if there is a victory or defeat in finals we might be divided, even the same words will hold different meanings. So to convey the true meaning of ours Shaolin had to ome now”
Chung Myung smiled
“I have a different opinion.”
“… Um?”
The eyes of the abbot sharpened at it.
