Return of Mount Hua Sect

are you this kid Are you a secular guy? (2)

No one spoke.

It was because the declaration that came out of Hyeonjong's mouth was so shocking. Those who understood what Hyeonjong was saying could not keep their mouths open, and those who had not yet grasped the situation properly could not even dare to open their mouths because they were overwhelmed by the atmosphere.

"Come on, longsword man!"

"What do you mean? Long-haired man?"

The commotion broke out suddenly.

The merchants, whose faces were dyed red, screamed as if they were using evil, but Hyeonjong's expression did not change. A cold face, which he had never seen before, weighed on the merchants.

"Literally."

"Ha, but...!"

“We wonder what the hell is going on…”

It was then.

"quiet."

Gong Mun-yeon's cold voice covered the mouths of the merchants.

Hyeonjong and Gong Munyeon's gazes are entangled in the air.

"Jang Moon-in."

"Tell me. Gong Rouge."

The attitude hadn't changed, but a lot had changed. Hyeonjong was no longer consistent with his laid-back attitude, and even Gong Mun-yeon's complexion had lost the gentleness he had walked as a courtesy.

"You seem to be playing too hard."

"Did you say it was a joke?"

"That's right."

The eyes of the two are intertwined in the air. Hyeonjong, who normally would have passed it gently, did not retreat even an inch at this moment.

"I'm sorry if the seat, the long gate of the Great Volcano, seems so leisurely enough to share with you."

Gong Moon-yeon shuts her mouth. His lips are droopy as usual.

"Certainly, according to this ledger, most of the businesses of the Hwaeum Merchant Coalition will be owned by Hwa-Uum. If we don't show the proof that we took over the business at a fair price for Hwa-Uum, there will be no point in confiscating our property."

"I'm sure you know."

"one."

Gong Moon-yeon smiled. But that smile was quite different from the smile he had ever shown. It's an awkward smile, as if it was forcibly made up.

"Isn't that the story of when this ledger is real?"

Hyeonjong stared at Gongmunyeon without saying a word. However, Gong Mun-yeon continued my words without being pressed by those eyes.

"How can you prove that this book that pops out of nowhere is genuine or not?"

"That means..."

Hyunjong narrowed his eyes.

"Are you saying that the volcano has now laid out a false gift?"

"There's no way a volcano would do that."

Gong Moon-yeon took a little step back. But that didn't change his attitude.

"But can't Volcano also be being deceived by this false ledger? We can't trust this ledger unless it's verified to be genuine."

"That's right!"

"Extremely common sense!"

It strengthened Gong Mun-yeon's remark that the merchants were right.

Hyeonjong, who was watching him quietly, nodded slowly. Then he turned his head and looked at Hyunyoung.

"Regyeong footnote."

"Yeah, the long writer!"

"What do you think?"

"There is truth to what they say."

Jae-gyeong-ju, Hyun-young, answered without changing the color of her face. The merchants called for delight.

"What should I do?"

"Long writer. The discussion is wrong."

"Well?"

Hyunyoung smiles and says.

"It is not our business or ours to decide whether the ledger is genuine or not. In such a case, isn't it the Gwan-a (官衙) that is the place to cover the quarrel?"

"Yes."

Hyun-young continued to speak with a swagger.

"So, half of the books have already been entrusted to Hwaeum's official, and their authenticity is being verified. If the books are verified, the official will confiscate their workplaces."

Gong Mun-yeon's eyes widened.

"Hey, did you say you already gave it to me?"

"Yes. Why? What's wrong?"

Hyun-young's casual counter-munition lowers Gong Moon-yeon's body temperature. A cold sweat began to trickle down his back.

'Damn.'

If they had been in harmony, they could have dealt with it. But they are now in a volcano. If they were to take advantage of their absence, officials would rush to the workplace and start occupying it, there would have been no way for the remaining ones to deal with it.

'That little one!'

Gong Mun-yeon's eyes glared at Hyeonjong.

Hyeonjong had a plan like this from the beginning and gathered them to the volcano. Showing the ledger directly to the merchants and covering up the fuss was nothing more than a blindfold. What they really want is to take them off the chord.

"When did you leave the ledger in the coffin?"

"Not two days ago."

"……this."

Gong Mun-yeon sharpened her teeth.

Two days is enough time to verify all the ledgers. It was said that half of it was entrusted to me, but I wondered where half of the ledger could be compared. It was clear that the ledger now in the chest had already been reviewed.

In other words, at the bottom of the mountain, officials were waiting for them to check the authenticity of the books and confiscate the business sites.

A place that is friendly to volcanoes for generations to come. If the Jangmun-in mobilized the connections of the volcano to press from above, wouldn't it be obvious how the Hwaeum Hyeonyeong would come out?

Perhaps by now there was a commotion.

"Long Moon Man!"

An angry voice erupted from Gong Mun-yeon's mouth.

However, Hyeonjong was no longer the generous long writer he knew.

"Keep your voice down."

Hyeonjong's whole body emanates a stern force. Gong Mun-yeon is rarely surprised or embarrassed by people, but the momentum emanating from Hyeonjong forced her to withdraw for an instant.

The name of a volcano.

It was hard to imagine the momentum emanating from the one who carried the name, which now had nothing but skin.

"You have no right to open your mouth."

Hyeonjong stares at the merchants with cold eyes. Some, unable to overcome the weight of the gaze, lowered their heads and avoided Hyeonjong's eyes.

“A true friend is someone who reaches out his hand in times of need. There is no need to treat those who hold out a sword when it is hard. Go back. When you go down to the harmony, everything will be over. I do, but…”

Hyungwon sighed.

"It's impossible to ignore the hard work you've done so far. So, I'll give you permission to each take a cart's worth of possessions."

"Come on, Jangmunin."

No matter how ignorant they were, they couldn't understand how things were going at this point.

"I have shown you the greatest favor."

At that time, Jae-gyeong-gak Joo Hyun-young opened her mouth.

"Long-Wonmen. These are the people who desecrated the volcano and stole its property. Not only that, but they tried to repay the kindness the volcano had given them.

“Because an animal is about to bite, if I expose it together, I will become a beast too.”

Hyunjong waved his hand.

“I have already decided, so please don’t mention this matter any more.”

"Yeah, long-timer."

Hyunyoung bowed her head.

"Go downstairs. Shouldn't you be able to see how things are with your own eyes?"

Gong Moon-yeon's face was completely distorted. Revealing this, he glared at Hyeonjong as if to kill him.

"Jang Moon-in. He must have been hiding his poisoned heart behind that soft face."

"Because I'm single..."

Hyunjong smiled brightly.

"If it's reading, it's probably reading. Where can I compare to you guys?"

"...I will not forget this debt."

"That's right. Unam. Bring these people to you."

"Yes. Long doorman!"

Gong Moon-yeon turned around. And without waiting for Unam's guidance, he started walking towards the prose.

The merchants, who did not know what to do and looked at the two of them, hurriedly began to follow Gong Mun-yeon. You have to go down the mountain as soon as possible and check how the chords are.

Hyeonjong sighed softly as he watched the merchants heading to the prose.

"Jang Moon-in! You've worked hard."

"cancer."

Hyunjong smiled softly at Hyunyoung.

"Now it's a volcano. It's done!"

"Don't feel so bad. You've just crossed a mountain."

"Where was the mountain greater than that? Everything will be all right now."

Seeing Hyun-young, who was not sure what to do, Hyun-jong smiled brightly.

It's been a few decades since I've seen Jaegyeong-gak-ju so fond of him. Everyone was carrying a heavy load on their shoulders.

'It's all thanks to that child.'

It can be said that it is the red suit of a volcano.

A big prize should be given, but what kind of prize can we give to all of these achievements? Laughter keeps coming

Hyeonjong's gaze, who had been immersed in thought for a moment, turned to Yoo Jongsan and the rest of the merchants.

"and……."

Those who saw the Jangmunin's eyes immediately bowed their heads.

"You have not lost your humanity until the very end."

Hyeonjong's attitude was quite different from his dealings with other merchants a while ago. It doesn't lose its rigidity, but it's definitely soft.

"Jang Moon-in. We wonder how this works..."

"It doesn't change that your workplace belongs to the volcano. Of course, the things of the volcano should return to the volcano. But I will make sure that you continue to operate your business and receive the price."

“……”

Yoo Jong-san's face became subtle.

The situation is better than those who are rushing down the mountain right now, but it is the same as losing their business. Wouldn't even Yoo Jong-san become an agent from a shopkeeper at a clothing store?

"if……."

The moment Yoo Jong-san was about to protest, Hyun-young opened his mouth.

“Excessive greed leads to anger.”

“……”

"It is also a sin to oppress others with property that is not yours. Volcano is just giving you a chance to lessen the weight of that sin."

sigh leaks out

If all of this came from a fake, Hyunyoung is right.

'Grandpa. What the hell have you done?'

I was embarrassed again.

"Regyeong footnote."

"Yeah, long-timer."

“However, it is not true that these people did not forsake their loyalty to the volcano and helped at the last minute.”

"You are right."

"Let's discuss it together. Is there any good direction? Shouldn't the volcano be a warm place for close friends?"

"Yeah, the long writer. I'll follow you."

Hyun-young stepped forward and beckoned to the merchants.

"Come this way. Let's go to the re-gyeong-gak and discuss the future."

"……Yes."

The merchants followed Hyunyeong. Complex emotions were evident on his face.

As everyone moved away, Hyeonjong remained alone and looked around the volcano.

There was not a single day that I did not see this scene in my eyes. However, the volcano that caught his eye today was quite different from yesterday.

The barren and faded buildings seem to be full of vitality today.

'Does it all depend on the mind?'

no. It doesn't end there.

Volcano, which has always been touched by a tragedy, has received a blessing for the first time in several decades. Flow is a strange thing, and once you change its direction, it is not easy to get it back by manpower.

Now that the water has been opened in a good way, the volcano will be different from before. Hyunjong believed so.

Perhaps today the forgotten glory of the volcano will come back.

'It must be so.'

Hyeonjong's face was full of wrinkles, and a clear smile bloomed without depth.

"...I, I, I..."

And her clean face without a single wrinkle was distorted.

"That cunt bastard!"

Fireworks flew out of the blue eyes.

what? One cart?

What's wrong with the beast?

"Come on. I'll show you what a beast is!"

Hyeonjong sent them like that.

Qingming did not send them.
