Return of the Blossoming Blade Chapter 994

Episode 994 What kind of wealth and fame am I going to enjoy? (4)

“Cheongmyeong.”

“yes?”

Hyeonjong quietly stared at Cheongmyeong and then opened his mouth.

“I’ve seen similar words come out of your mouth a few times. But… it seems to have a slightly different meaning today than usual.”

King Hyeonjong, a long-time scholar of volcanoes, asked Cheongmyeong with deep weight.

“It seems to me that you believe that the conversation we are having from now on should be different from what we have had so far. “Is my guess correct?”

“Yes, Jang Moon-in. you’re right.”

“if.”

He paused for a moment and spoke again after a while.

“Is there any reason why you think things should be different from before?”

The reason why Hyeonjong asked this question was to let those who did not understand the situation know that the conversation that was to follow was important.

And it could be said that it was indeed a reasonable decision.

…if only the clapping of hands was normal.

“Condensed milk?”

“That’s right.”

“…Are you telling me the reason?”

“….”

Hyeonjong, who felt something was strange, took a quick look at Cheongmyeong’s complexion. Then I quickly closed my eyes. This is because Cheongmyeong’s head was tilted to the side.

‘Why does he suddenly have a seizure again?’

What on earth did Hyeonjong do?

“Jangmun-in.”

“…That’s right.”

“I don’t know where to start and how to explain this.”

“Uh huh?”

King Hyeonjong wanted to say, ‘If you don’t know how to explain it, there’s no need to try.’ really.

But since he was also sensitive, those words couldn’t come out of his mouth.

“I don’t know if Jang Moon-in thought I was crazy or something.”

“…Did you see that?”

“….”

Hyeonjong realized that he had made a mistake and quickly changed his words.

“Oh no! That’s not it! How could I possibly think of you like that? No. No! “You’re saying strange things.”

“…Keuhum.”

Cheongmyeong cleared his throat slightly as if he was going to skip it this time. However, Hyeonjong did not miss the sweet trembling under Cheongmyeong’s eyes.

“Jangmun-in.”

“That’s right.”

“What was in the volcano when I entered it?”

“…Yes?”

“To put it bluntly, wasn’t that sect that couldn’t even open itself full of beggars like a volcano?”

“To that extent….”

“Well, that’s true.”

Hyeonjong’s timid rebuttal was immediately suppressed by Hyeonyoung.

“The opening had more money than the volcano. “Beggars ate better.”

“….”

No, well…. That’s not wrong either.

“Depending on what you hear, it seems like volcanoes are worse than beggars…”

“What’s wrong with that? “A beggar has no debt.”

“….”

Hyeonjong, who was speechless, just cleared his throat.

“anyway!”

Cheongmyeong rolled his eyes.

“I’m saying this now, but back then, where did Hwasan live?”

“….”

“After I joined, I realized that all my martial arts skills were sold somewhere!”

Mugakju Phenomenon and Baekmaegwanju Ungeom flinched and turned their heads.

“The clan has no money and is full of debt!”

Hyeonjong and Hyeonyoung looked at the distant ceiling.

“The kids aren’t training and are just playing gangsters among themselves!”

“Why are you bringing up that story now?”

“Jogeol, close your mouth.”

“…Yes, death penalty.”

Cheongmyeong snorted and shouted.

“What in that situation? direction? Argument?”

“….”

The more his eyes twinkled, the more everyone did their best to avoid eye contact.

“It’s a waste of time and I’m about to get beaten up by the Jongnam bastards right now! What should I do from that!”

“That’s right. yes.”

“I dealt with the Jongnam bastards, and then the shaman bastards started a fight, so I sorted it out, and now it’s in Shaolin and Sapaeryeon!”

“Calm down, Cheongmyeong.”

Seeing Cheongmyeong’s face turn red and on the verge of bursting, King Hyeonjong was horrified and tried to stop him.

If you think about it, it’s not wrong. It has become a memory now, but was Hwasan a normal sect when Qingming entered the country? If Cheongmyeong hadn’t found Hwasan’s ledger at that time, they would all have been kicked out of the headquarters and the plaque taken down.

“Just thinking about it makes me angry again? “What kind of bastard faction is this…!”

Everyone bowed their heads. When I think about it, it wasn’t their fault, but I felt embarrassed for no reason.

“Whoop!” Phew…!”

Cheongmyeong took a long deep breath and managed to control his excitement and looked at everyone.

“Anyway, so far, I’ve been busy hitting the things that are right in front of me. Otherwise, the clan would be ruined.”

“Okay, okay.”

Hyeonyoung nodded as if she understood everything.

“Of course!” First of all, people have to fill their mouths before they can do anything. “I’m going to starve tomorrow, so what can I do?”

“Wow. “As expected, the elder knows everything.”

“Ahm. Don’t know. “You did a great job.”

“lol. “What did I do?”

Cheongmyeong grinned and scratched the back of his head.

But this time, no one cast a dissatisfied look at Hyunyoung, who was full of favoritism. First of all, it’s true that that guy calmed down thanks to you.

Cheongmyeong raised his head and looked at everyone and said.

“Up until now, it was just a matter of coping. But not from now on. As you know, Hwasan has now become a decent sect in its own right.”

If someone from another sect had heard this, they might have thought Cheongmyeong was quite humble. That’s how huge the volcano’s current position in Gangho was.

Of course, there was a weakness that there was still a lack of seniors and experts who were responsible for the backbone of the school, but it had built up enough reputation and reputation to overcome that.

“That’s why I want to ask you, Jang Moon-in.”

Cheongmyeong looked straight at Hyeonjong and asked.

“What do you think, Jang Moon-in? What kind of relationship do you want to have with Gufilelbang?”

“Hmm.”

Hyeonjong let out a heavy sigh.

Although it was a long way back, the meaning of Cheongmyeong’s words was simple.

Meanwhile, the volcano had no power to choose anything. Most of what the volcano has done so far has been a struggle to survive, and it has been busy resolving the impending crisis.

But…

‘That means not anymore.’

There was only one true meaning behind Cheongmyeong’s words. Now, volcanoes also have some freedom. It’s really just a little bit of leisure, but at least I can catch my breath for a while.

So now we can discuss and negotiate.

About the direction the volcano will move.

Hyeonjong quietly looked around at everyone. Everyone was looking at him. Waiting for the words to come out of his mouth.

“This is just my will…”

That is why King Hyeonjong insisted on adding this word. Cheongmyeong told him that he was the sword of the volcano. And the only person who will wield that sword is Hyeonjong.

But that’s just Cheongmyeong’s will.

Hyeonjong doesn’t want that. Rather than someone who would wield the sword called Cheongmyeong, he wanted to be someone who moves forward with the person called Cheongmyeong. No, I wanted to be a person who walks not only with Cheongmyeong but also with everyone on Hwasan.

‘That’s why Volcano came all the way here.’

Hyeonjong, who had made up his mind, opened his mouth.

“Cheongmyeong.”

“I don’t think we can be together with the old faction anymore.”

Then Cheongmyeong asked back with an expressionless face.

“Why?”

Hyeonjong spoke after thinking for a while.

“Actually, it was not my intention to distance myself from the old group. As a Jangmun of Hwasan, what I wanted most was to restore Hwasan’s past prestige and become an honorable person to the Jangmun of Hwasan.”

“yes.”

“So, deep down, I have been hoping for a return to the old file room. “Even though the relationship had soured to some extent, I thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to get back to a good relationship if they reached out first.”

Cheongmyeong nodded.

I think this is something that can be done. Cheongmyeong is so extreme that I feel embarrassed, but even if Cheongmun were Jang Mun-in now, wouldn’t he have thought the same as Hyeonjong?

“But after going through this incident, I realized. “The path they want to take is very different from ours.”

A slightly sad look crossed Hyeonjong’s face. He, too, must have been greatly disappointed by this incident. Nevertheless, his tone was infinitely gentle and cautious.

“Once again, this is just my opinion. Of course, I am a long-time writer of volcanoes. However, Hwasan is not a sect where Jang Mun-in decides everything. No, it is a sect that should never be like that.”

Hyeonjong asked in a voice as calm as water.

“What do you think?”

Hyeonyoung snorted.

“Now that we’ve said we’ll be friends, does that old old man in the court accept it?”

“…the senile Yeongtaeng is a bit….”

“Aren’t the two axes that make up the Nine-Family Group the Shaolin and the Shaman?”

“yes.”

“The Shaolin master hit him head-on in front of everyone, and the shaman’s Jang Mun-in climbed up and beat him up in front of everyone! “Are you sure they’ll get along with us because they’re crazy?”

“….”

Everyone’s eyes returned to Cheongmyeong.

“why? what!”

However, Cheongmyeong proudly spread his shoulders as if he had done nothing wrong.

“So, don’t waste your efforts in vain. In the first place, those gentlemen probably had no intention of getting along with us. But why should we?”

“Hmm.”

Ungeom, who had been quietly listening the whole time, grinned.

“You may have said it a bit harshly, but I feel the same way. “We have come too far to turn back now.”

“….”

“And even if they want that, as Jang Mun-in said, their path is different from the path of the volcano.”

“yes!”

“That’s right, Jang Mun-in!”

Words of agreement poured in from all over. Hyeonjong quietly nodded.

This is not because the volcano has become stronger. Hwasan is a sect that knows better than anyone else the sorrow of a weak sect. That’s why I try not to go down the wrong path.

“if.”

This time, Hyeonjong asked everyone.

“What kind of sect do you think Hwasan should be?”

“….”

This time, everyone could not answer easily. It was a question too deep to be answered simply.

At that time, Hyeonjong’s eyes turned to none other than Yunjong.

“Yoonjong-ah.”

“Yes, Jang Mun-in.”

“Answer me. “What kind of volcano do you want?”

At Hyeonjong’s question, Yunjong’s eyes became distantly deep.

“Jang Moon-in. “I’m sorry, but… I don’t know anything that big.”

“Hmm. “Is that so?”

When Hyeonjong asked back with regret, Yunjong opened his mouth again.

“But I think I know what I have to do.”

There was uncertainty in his voice. Everyone’s eyes turned to Yunjong.

“This time, when Nangong Sojiazhu came to me for help, I wanted to help him more than anyone else. And I was really proud of Huashan rushing to the Yangtze River to help him. So far, I have experienced many things in volcanoes. But I have never been more proud of being a disciple of Hwasan than I was then.”

“…Did you do that?”

“Yes, Jang Mun-in.”

Yunjong nodded slowly.

“So I’m going to do what I feel. Even though it may be difficult and tiring, I try not to turn away those who come to me for help. “As the volcano has faced difficulties in the past, we do not hesitate to help those who are struggling and exhausted.”

A calm smile appeared on Hyeonjong’s lips.

“A place where you listen to what your conscience tells you and just do it. That’s what I think volcanoes are like.”

When Yunjong finished speaking, he nodded.

“I have my volcano, and Yoonjong will have Yoonjong’s volcano.”

He made eye contact with all of Hwasan’s disciples one by one.

“But it doesn’t all have to be gathered into one opinion. If each person achieves what they want to achieve, it will eventually become a better place than anyone thought…”

Hyeonjong trailed off slightly, then closed his eyes and thought about it.

“I believe so.”

A heavy silence fell in the room.

Hyeonjong’s words deeply resonated in everyone’s hearts.

‘okay. Then it will be okay.’

They will face many difficulties in the future. However, if they do not ignore what they know now and stick to it, they will be able to overcome the numerous difficulties someday.

And when that time comes, both they and the world will know. What kind of sect is Hwasan?

It was the moment when Hyeonjong was about to open his mouth again.

“Is that okay?”

“….”

When I slowly opened my eyes, I saw Cheongmyeong’s eyes shining with a meaningful expression.

“What volcano does each person want to achieve?”

“….”

“Really? Then I don’t have to restrain myself?”

“….”

No.

Let’s find another way, Cheongmyeong.
