return of the blossoming blade's nurture

Chapter 7:FINALLY, HERE.

"Come in." The man ushered him in with a smiled

"Then I will trouble you tonight." Chung Myung bowed his head.

Chung Myung paused, "Wait, before that, I..." How should he introduce himself?

I dont know. He wouldnt question it, would he?

"I am Chung Myung. If it isnt too rude, may I know the name of the master?"

"Chung Myung, huh. Such a good name. I am Un Am."

'The Un family. Chung Myung's eyes twinkled. Maybe the family changed? If it the Un family, then this man must be the great-grandson?'

Mount Hua's Chung Myung and Un family were mutually exclusive. Neither family would exist simultaneously; at one time, it would be Chung, and at another time it would be the Uns. And since it had to have been four generations by now, this had to be the Un family.

'Then he would have never seen me.' The last diciples of Mount Hua to see Chung Myung were the other families, so this man named Un Am wouldnt have known about him.

It felt like so many years had been passed since walked through these gates. Chung Myung had been brought by to Mount Hua by Sahyung and cared by Sajo when he couldnt climb the mountain on his own, and now he'd come back of his own accord.

-*skipped a bit into the future*-

"Wait. Th-there." Chung Myung raised his trembling finger to where the Heavenly Golden Palace should have been. "T-the land there seems strange... was anything over there?"

"Ah, it seems you have good eyes like my Sajil. There was originally a palace in that space. She always stared at the space longingly—though I'm not sure why."

There "was"? Who wouldnt think it weird? ITS AN EMPTY SPACE WITH STAIRS LEADS NO WHERE! Where did it go?

"Haha. It isnt a story a young one like you should hear."

Tell me! I know this place better then you! That was Sajo's favourite storing place too!

"I guess it's a wound of glory. It's embarrassing to say it, as martial artist."

"...Glory, my ass."

"Huh?"

"Nothing."

Chung Myung was at loss.

"Come here" Un Am calls for him.

"When a guest comes, it is right to give them a place to rest. However, Mount Hua is a sect, and there is a law the guest must follow. I understand you might want to rest, but you must first pay your respects."

Chung Myung nodded obediently. Un Am brought him to a place similar to a shrine. Although there were several temples of significance on Mount Hua, it wouldnt to say that Ockheon Temple was the most important. Chung Myung didnt abandon the teaching of Mount Hua that both of his Sahyung and Sajo grinds into him, so it was only right to enter and pray. In these trying times, he was grateful the Un Am had proposed.

"W-where..." Where were the golden candlesticks gifted from the Jin emperor? Where were the golden scrolls inscribed with the ancestor's words that his Sajo found while shes away from the sect?

But this wasnt what suprised Chung Myung the most.

"T-this." No way. No. Where did it go?

Chung Myung barely managed to raised his trembling finger toward the front.

"Huh?"

"T- there should be a flower, right?"

"A flower?"

"...Yes. A flower!"

"How did you know?" Un Am said outloud and whispers under his breath " Sajil said the same thing?"

"I-it was there, right? Where did the flower go?"

Un Am tilted his head quizzically. There was many things he wanted to ask this child, but his contorted face begged him to answer.

"Right, there was one there. A plum blossom made of a strange white metal."

"Yes! That flower! Where did it go?"

"Sold it."

"...Huh?"

"It wasnt particularly useful and didnt fit well with the sect atmosphere, and there was a merchant who wanted to buy it. So we sold it for a good price."

"S-sold..."

"Right. But you—"

"Ugh! Ugh! What!?" Chung Myung's eyes rolled crazily. "Ugh..."

The White Fragrant Plum Blossom—along with the Divine Sword of Violet Dawn, it was one of the two sacred items of the sect. His Sajo clean it everyday and that was her favourite piece, out of all Mount Hua, actually, that was the reason she continued to stay in Mount Hua other then me. Sajo didnt like it just because it didnt glitter like gold or shine like silver, it was because it contained the very essence of Mount Hua.

"It spoke to me in my dreams, when I first entered Mount Hua." Said his Sajo when he asked for a reason she liked the White Fragrant Plum Blossom.

The White Fragrant Plum Blossom is very guarded by her. Even every day, she will pray in this hall like a crazy sicko.

Now it's gone, and these crazy people sold it. His Sajo by now would have already had a seizure and fainted on the spot.

"Th-there are other things to sell! Why you'd sold it! You idiots..."

The combination of shock and fatigue finally won over him, sending Chung Myung toppling to the ground.

He could almost see Jangmun Sahyung's terrified figure next to Sajo's fainted body.

Ruined. Mount Hua was ruined. Completely ruined.

'Sahyunnnnnnggggg!!! Sajjjjooooo!'

Chung Myung passed out.
