Chapter 292: The Lazy One is Discovered (2)

“That is unacceptable.”

Gong Mujin’s eyes shone with fervor. His voice sounded as if blood was boiling in his veins.

“Mount Hua is in grave danger.”

The expressions of those watching him were serious and somber.

“Are you telling me to abandon Mount Hua? Mount Hua!”

Gong Mujin was furious.

How could this happen?

He had been a member of Mount Hua since his childhood. Even in his earliest memories, he was already a disciple of Mount Hua. Mount Hua was his home, his clan, everything.

How could he abandon it?

“Many disciples have been injured. The Demon Cult has attacked Mount Hua. I believe my duty is to heal the wounds and rebuild Mount Hua. Why are you telling me to abandon Mount Hua? Do children abandon their parents when they grow old and sick? I will ignore it.”

“Mujin.”

Chung Yeon, the leader of Mount Hua, looked at Gong Mujin and spoke:

“We are not telling you to abandon Mount Hua…”

“That’s what you’re saying!”

Gong Mujin interrupted Chung Yeon.

“Abandoning Mount Hua is abandoning Mount Hua! Children don’t abandon their parents when they are suffering! Do you want me to be a bad son? I will never abandon Mount Hua.”

“Really?”

“Understand my loyalty, leader. Although there are many important things in the world, we all have priorities. For me, being a disciple of Mount Hua is the most important thing.”

“I see.”

Chung Yeon nodded with a moved expression and said:

“It’s not that you don’t want to go with Wei Yanho, is it?”

“……”

“Anyway, you don’t have much to do here besides changing bandages, you don’t want to work hard, so you say you love Mount Hua?”

“It’s not that…”

“Are you ignoring the leader’s orders because of your love for Mount Hua?”

Chung Yeon smiled.

“Our Mujin has grown a lot.”

Although Gong Mujin was over forty years old, Chung Yeon looked at him like a child.

“Even doing tricks.”

“……”

But that look wasn’t necessarily warm. Faced with Chung Yeon’s murderous gaze, Gong Mujin looked at the sky.

‘I have failed.’

He had acted with sincerity, but it didn’t work. Although he really didn’t want to go with Wei Yanho and wanted to stay, why wasn’t his sincerity working?

“Do you dislike it that much?”

“…Leader.”

“Why?”

“Must I go?”

Chung Yeon sighed as he saw Gong Mujin with a sad expression.

‘This guy…’

Gong Mujin, who focused too much on martial arts and was cold to others, was criticized even within Mount Hua.

Even if he became the best swordsman of Mount Hua, they didn’t want to give him an important position.

Because they couldn’t allow someone who only focused on martial arts to lead others.

Even Chung Yeon couldn’t refute it. Gong Mujin was very awkward with people.

But…

‘It’s not like that now.’

The Sword Saint of Plum Blossom had disappeared, and there was only one disciple left who didn’t want to travel with a young man.

Chung Yeon smiled and said:

“You are paying for your lack of consideration towards others.”

“The punishment is excessive.”

“But you are the only one who can do it.”

Chung Yeon’s expression turned serious.

“Mujin.”

“Yes, leader.”

“The martial world will revolve around that guy.”

“…”

Gong Mujin couldn’t refute it.

People can be strong.

But that strength must be reasonable.

‘Is he really getting stronger?’

Gong Mujin knew Wei Yanho’s power better than anyone. He had spent more time with Wei Yanho than anyone after Wei Yanho started traveling.

He had even fought against Wei Yanho.

‘At first, it wasn’t like this…’

Although Gong Mujin, who had been defeated in one blow, had no right to say it, Wei Yanho wasn’t that strong at first. Even when he fought against the Supreme Sovereign Sima Tianse, he wasn’t that strong.

Although it was an even fight, the Supreme Sovereign had let him win.

But in a short time, he had become much stronger.

If Wei Yanho continued to grow at this rate…

“A monster has appeared in the martial world. You already know that.”

‘It’s not just a monster, leader.’

Chung Yeon only evaluated Wei Yanho’s current power, but Gong Mujin, who knew how strong Wei Yanho had become, could evaluate his future power.

If things continued like this, the martial world would have to obey Wei Yanho.

“Fortunately, you have a connection with Wei Yanho. It is a blessing from heaven for Mount Hua.”

‘For me, it’s a disgrace.’

“If heaven is with him, we must help him. As leader, I order you to leave Mount Hua and stay with Wei Yanho. Observe and learn from him. Perhaps he is the key to the development of Mount Hua.”

“That’s very dangerous, leader!”

Gong Mujin made his last attempt to resist.

“It is true that Wei Yanho is strong. But when did Mount Hua only seek strength? What difference is there between us and the Demon Cult if we only seek strength? We must consider morality before strength, and the path before the sword, isn’t that right?”

Chung Yeon opened his eyes.

“Do you have the right to say that?”

“……”

“I sent you into the world to learn, but you have lost your morality.”

“N… it’s not that.”

“You have improved in your tricks. I told you to become more mature, but you have become a cheater.”

“…It’s because of his influence. That’s why I don’t want to leave.”

Chung Yeon’s expression changed.

“It’s a good change. He who leads a clan or sect must be able to do that. Purity is not always good.”

“……”

Chung Yeon was proving that.

“Leader, really…”

“Mujin.”

Chung Yeon smiled and said:

“Do you want me to hit you or will you just leave?”

“…I will leave.”

***

‘What did I do?’

Since he couldn’t remember doing anything wrong in this life, he must have done something wrong in his past life.

Gong Mujin looked at Wei Yanho, who was completely bandaged.

What to say?

His good impression of Wei Yanho was gone.

An expert must have a dignified appearance!

“What favor?”

When Wei Yanho asked again, Gong Mujin sighed.

‘Two months ago, I wanted to fight you.’

He had been begging him to fight, but his opinion had changed so much in a short time.

Gong Mujin said with tears in his eyes:

“I heard you were going to Guangdong.”

“Yes. I must go home. I’m tired.”

‘He looks tired.’

Gong Mujin ignored his strange thoughts and spoke:

“Can I go with you?”

“Huh?”

“If I am not a bother, I want to go to Guangdong with you.”

Wei Yanho frowned slightly.

“The Demon Cult is attacking, are you going to Guangdong? On vacation? Warriors must protect this place!”

“…And you?”

“That’s why I’m going home. My home is in Guangdong, and yours is here.”

That makes sense…

Gong Mujin continued with an awkward expression:

“It’s a good idea, but there are many disciples of Mount Hua here, so there’s no problem. Please let me go with you.”

“No! You’ll bother me to fight again.”

“I won’t.”

Gong Mujin nodded with resignation.

‘Fighting must be fun.’

He could no longer withstand Wei Yanho’s attacks. If Wei Yanho shone, he would faint, what could he learn from that fight?

“But I don’t decide.”

When Gong Mujin looked at Wei Jeonghan, Wei Jeonghan nodded.

“I have allowed it.”

“…Huh?”

“The Wei family is famous. Although I would prefer it to be like before, it is not possible. This guy is a good guest. He is a good person.”

“Hmm…”

Wei Yanho slightly puffed out his cheeks.

“Since the patriarch has decided, I cannot object.”

It was strange to hear something sensible from Wei Yanho.

“So only our family and Gong will go?”

“No. Seolhwa will also go…”

Wei Yanho trailed off.

Even he knew that if he asked why I Seolhwa was going, he would be killed with a look.

“So, Miss I Seolhwa…”

“I’ll go too!”

Wei Yanho tilted his head as he heard Jin Yeran’s urgent voice.

“Why you?”

“I… I have to go to Guangdong. They say there are different medicinal herbs there. I want to investigate them!”

“…Okay.”

Wei Yanho nodded uncomfortably.

“Then…”

“We’ll go too!”

The door burst open, and several people came running in.

“A Beggar?”

“Take me, Wei Yanho! If I go back, the chief will hit me. Protect me.”

“A dead weight like you?”

“…My senior told me to stay close to you. It is not my intention, but it is an order from my senior…”

“A monk?”

“Amida Buddha.”

Wei Yanho’s face flushed. He shouted:

“Why do you all want to come?! I won’t take anyone! Why are other people coming to my house?!”

That’s how it was decided who would go.
