Return of Mount Hua Sect - Chapter 1741
Only Noblemtl
Episode 1741. Not visible. (1)
The day has dawned.
Jo-geol, who had stayed up all night with his eyes wide open, sat up, staring blankly at the sunlight streaming in through the window.
Those who had spent the night together in silence turned their gaze toward him.
“Are you walking?”
Jo-geol said, scratching his head.
“I guess I should go there sometime. The early morning air is cold, so I’m a bit worried that my body might get sick… … . Well… … It would be a waste of time to go to the already busy pharmacy… … .”
That’s a ridiculous excuse.
“His Majesty the Great… … .”
Yoon Jong, who had opened his mouth, stopped talking and shook his head. A sigh escaped him.
King Hyeonjong clearly gave orders not to show any kindness to the excommunicated disciple. But would Jo Gul have forgotten that already?
Even if he gets punished for this, since Jo-geol has decided to go on his own, Yun-jong cannot stop him.
“Walk.”
“No, Death Penalty. I’ll be back in a bit. If I get scolded, I’ll get scolded, you know. If Death Penalty just says he fell asleep and didn’t know… … .”
“Let’s go together.”
“……yes?”
Yun Jong got up.
“I should go there too.”
Then, without even waiting for Jo-Geol, he headed for the door. The others who were sitting also stood up at once as if they had made a promise.
“No, that… … .”
I didn’t mean to let things get this bad. Jo-geol sighed and scratched his head.
“… … Does this sect have the destruction of knights as a basic rule?”
How could they all be ignoring the order of the Supreme Commander that was given yesterday? Jo-geol followed after them, watching them walk ahead.
“… … Are you feeling okay?”
“That will happen.”
Even though he was weak, Baekcheon was still unmanned. He wouldn’t get seriously ill just because he was exposed to the cold wind for one night.
However, I was worried about mental illness rather than physical illness.
‘It’s a scandal… … ‘
Yoon Jong wondered how he would feel if he were in the same situation.
It’s hard to even guess. I’ve never thought about living a life away from the volcano. Even when the volcano’s end was almost certain, Yoon Jong was someone who never thought about leaving.
The volcano has everything he has.
How can I know the feeling of being forcibly cut off from everything? I dare not even offer comfort.
“The body comes first, the body. No matter what a person does, the body needs to be healthy.”
Yoon Jong’s face hardened. He was a little angry at Jo Geol, who kept talking nonsense in the midst of all this. Why on earth… .
“capital punishment.”
“why.”
Yoon Jong’s voice naturally became cold as he answered.
“Can I really cure Sasuk’s condition by going to Jongnam?”
Yun Jong turned his head and looked at Jo Geol.
“I guess so?”
Instead of an answer, a long sigh escaped me.
‘Yeah… … . I have to grab that now.’
“You have to believe it.”
“There won’t be any problem. Your family is rich, right? If you just get better, everything will be fine. That’s what it will be.”
Anyone could tell that it wasn’t something he said with sincere faith or confidence. Nevertheless, Jo-geol kept repeating similar words. This was a good thing.
“Yeah. At least… … it’ll be better than it is now.”
“But then, if the death penalty recovers, the excommunication will be lifted… … .”
“Cheers.”
When Yoon Jong’s cold voice pierced his ears, Jo Geol flinched and shrank his neck.
“Think before you speak.”
“No, I mean, it could be like that. I’m not saying it has to be like that… … .”
“Don’t talk nonsense. That’s an insult to the volcano, the private school, and everyone else. And above all, the private school would never accept such a thing.”
Jo-geol let out a long breath, feeling suffocated.
He knows it doesn’t make sense. Even if it were possible, he can’t imagine Baekcheon taking that path.
“… … I was just saying.”
“… … .”
Yoon Jong-do didn’t reprimand Jo Geol anymore. To be honest, he had similar thoughts.
But now we have to accept it. Baekcheon will become Jongnam’s man.
‘It’s Jongnam… … .’
Although our relationship has improved rapidly recently, it still has to be Jongnam.
Will the friendly relationship with Jongnam continue? One day, it may become like before, or even worse, and end in confrontation.
If Baekcheon is standing at the forefront of Jongnam at that time, how should Yoonjong look at him?
‘It’s difficult.’
It was at that time that Yun Jong was trying hard to sort out his complicated feelings.
“Death penalty, over there.”
At that moment, the people I most did not want to see came into view. They were walking in the same direction as Yunjong’s group.
Including Jong-nam’s eldest son, Jong-ri-gok, Jin Geum-ryong, Lee Song-baek, and even Baek-cheon’s father, Jin Cho-baek…
‘Are you going to pick up your private tutor?’
Yoon Jong bit his lower lip without realizing it. Thinking about it calmly, it was obvious, but he couldn’t understand why it felt like his insides were being scratched by a hot iron.
When their eyes met, Song Baek bowed his head with an awkward expression. Only then did the other group notice and look over.
Yun Jong paid his respects politely.
Whether the inside is burning or not, the other person is a long-suffering man. Not being polite is like smearing the face of a volcano.
Jongrigok bowed his head slightly and accepted their example.
Since we were headed in the same direction, the further we walked, the closer we became. We were now so close that the distance between us was less than a foot, so even though I tried not to be conscious of it, my nerves were on edge.
Surprisingly, it was Jin Geum-ryong who spoke first.
“Are you going to see the guy?”
“……yes.”
In general, the distribution with other clans is not strictly considered, but in any case, if it is to be considered, Jin Geum-ryong is one rank higher. Also, since he is Baek-cheon’s older brother, Yun-jong is sufficiently polite.
But the reply that came back was very short.
“Why?”
There was a lot of meaning in it. So much meaning that Yunjong was moved to tears for a moment.
Yoon Jong clenched his teeth. If he opened his mouth now, he would say something harsh. In any case, causing a commotion here was not good for anyone.
At that moment, Jongrigok spoke.
“I heard that the Supreme Commander of the Gui Gate has forbidden contact with the Banmun. Don’t you know that such behavior could be problematic?”
“I know.”
“But still, you want to go?”
The tone of voice seemed to be gently coaxing him, but in the end, it was telling him to back off. However, even though he knew what it meant, Yoon Jong did not back off easily.
“Yes. I intend to ask for forgiveness.”
Jongrigok slightly narrowed his eyes.
Looking back, it seemed that it wasn’t just Yoon Jong who had no intention of backing down. Jo Geol glared at him as if he was looking at an enemy, Yu I Seol with sharp eyes, Baek Sang and Hye Yeon fidgeted but kept their positions, and even Dang So So and Nam Gung Do Wi were expressionlessly silent.
Currently, all the most famous newcomers in the martial arts world are disobeying orders and taking punishment upon themselves. In order to go to Baekcheon.
‘Is it virtue…?…’
It seemed that no one in Jongnam could compare to his ability to attract people. Jongnam had Jin Geum-ryong, who had a sharp mind, and Lee Song-baek, who was honest, but Baek-cheon had something that those two people did not have.
“hmm.”
Jongrigok let out a short, sobbing sound.
You could force them to stop, but there’s no need to. By being there to bring Jindo Dragon, you might be able to make them realize the reality.
“Then let’s go together. Aren’t we both going to see the same person?”
“… … I don’t necessarily have to go separately, but that doesn’t mean we can go together.”
“hmm?”
“We’re not going to see off the private school right now.”
A strange light appeared in Jongrigok’s eyes.
Yun Jong maintains a calm demeanor even when he is in front of Jongrigok. This is despite the fact that he encounters a long-suffering man from another clan on his way to see the person who was excommunicated for disobeying King Hyeonjong’s order.
Jongrigok looked closely at the deep and profound eyes like a windless lake.
‘How come such talented people keep coming out of the volcano?’
It may be shameless to say that I was jealous, but it was hard to stop myself from thinking that way.
“Then let’s do that.”
Jongrigok nodded briefly and moved his feet.
In any case, we must bring Jin Dong-ryong to Jongnam as soon as possible. If we can diagnose him and apply the Great Law as quickly as possible, we can make him in a better condition.
Jongrigok’s pace quickened.
Jin Geum-ryong, who was following them, glared at Yun Jong and Jo Geol with sharp eyes.
A cold tension flowed between the two groups walking side by side at a certain distance. It was a chill that had not been there since they had somewhat sorted out their positions.
Lee Song-baek secretly sighed.
‘It’s stuffy.’
I managed to maintain the relationship between the two sects. However, I had an ominous feeling that the relationship would become cold again because of the Baekcheon incident.
Even a hundred thousand seals wouldn’t want that.
I tried hard to hide my frustration and turned the corner toward the pavilion where Baekcheon was.
Stop.
But suddenly Jongrigok’s feet stopped. At the same time, Yunjong also stopped in his tracks.
A low groan escaped Jongrigok’s mouth.
“Baekcheon… … No, where is Jin Dongryong?”
“yes?”
He spoke with dark eyes, lightly stroking my chin.
“I thought you’d be here. Send someone to the location right now.”
I thought that the shock he received yesterday wouldn’t have subsided easily, but it seemed that he had gathered his thoughts and gone to his quarters.
‘Is it stronger than I thought? If so, that’s fortunate.’
Jongrigok thought calmly and waited for the person he had sent to Baekcheon’s residence to return.
But the news that came back was different from what was expected.
“Jang Moon-in. There was no one in the residence.”
“… … Really? Then the medical center… … .”
One of the disciples quickly approached Jongligok with an anxious look on his face.
“There’s no one at the pharmacy either.”
Only then did Jongrigok’s complexion change.
“… … Then where did you go, in that body?”
“That, that, I’m also good at… … .”
“Search for the shaman thoroughly. She must have been here until dawn. She must still be in the temple grounds!”
It is impossible to carelessly search the grounds of another sect. However, since the matter was serious, Jongrigok had no choice but to commit an act of rudeness.
At the command of the young Jang Moon-in, who was still young, Jong-nam’s disciples ran out of breath and scattered to all the shamans.
A faint anxiety appeared in Jongrigok’s eyes.
‘Did he go to King Hyeonjong?’
That could be the case. He might have gone to ask for the order to be rescinded. That would have been the case.
‘This is not the time. Directly… … .’
But things got weird.
“None, Jang Moon-in.”
“I can’t see it.”
Those who looked around the area where Hyeonjong lived, and even those who looked around the reception hall where Hwasan’s disciples stayed, were all unable to find Baekcheon.
Even those who went beyond the border and searched thoroughly through Mt. Mudang were the same.
“this…….”
Jongrigok became more and more pensive. King Hyeonjong, who heard the news late, came running in a hurry.
“Long story.”
“Tae Sang Jang Munin! Baek Cheon… … No, weren’t you with Jin Dong Ryong?”
“We haven’t seen each other since yesterday.”
“that……!”
Hyunjong looked at his other disciples in shock.
“Has none of you seen Baekcheon?”
“… … The Supreme Master told me not to make contact with the person who broke the law… … .”
“Are you sure there’s no one? Then today? Didn’t you see anyone today?”
Of course, there was no answer. Hyunjong stared at the wide open front door of the shaman’s office with a blank expression.
“This, this… … . This is… … .”
It’s gone.
In this dangerous land where the flames of war still rage everywhere, Baekcheon disappeared like smoke.
“This kind of thing… … .”
The volcano kicked him out and wanted him to go to Jongnam.
But Baekcheon did not head towards Jongnam.
It was a situation no one had expected. The color drained from everyone’s faces.
“Baekcheon-ah… … .”
Hyeonjong’s bewildered voice spread throughout the quiet training ground.
And on the roof of the pavilion a little away from the smokescreen.
Cheongmyeong, who had been silently watching all this commotion, let out a soft sigh. The taste of alcohol in his mouth was unusually bitter today.
