CHAPTER 170:Still, I will walk together with you (5)

“They’re late.”

Hyun Jong frowned.

Coming from Nanyang, enough time had already passed to return.

‘Sword Tomb.’

Hyun Jong sighed.

‘Such greed.’

According to Huayoung Gate’s message, the disciples who went to Nanyang had likely entered the Tomb and come out without getting anything.

Hyun Jong had been informed of how dangerous the Sword Tomb was. Without realizing it, he had even yelled about why the kids had to enter such a place.

But after thinking about the reason those kids decided to risk entering such a dangerous place, he felt sorry instead.

“Sect leader.”

“Hm?”

Hyun Sang looked at him and spoke.

“You need to rebuke the children when they return.”

“Hmm.”

Hyung Sang’s face was slightly stiff.

“I’m not saying this because I’m displeased with what they decided to do. We are a sect that has nothing. The glory and honor of the past is just a memory, now we’re a sect that started again with a clean slate.”

“Right.”

“And for us, such children are precious. The children need to know that their own safety is several times more important to us than any benefits they could earn for the sect.”

Hyun Jong nodded his head.

“Let me tell them that.”

Un Am, who was listening to the two of them, smiled brightly.

“But they also need to be praised. The kids have accomplished so much this time.”

“Right. That is true.”

The voice was different this time.

Hyun Young, who was depressed about the children being criticized and scolded, was excited when something good was said about them. Hyun Sang smiled bitterly at this.

‘Well, those children really did a good job.’

They fought with the Wudang and won.

Even after entering that dangerous Sword Tomb, they managed to return alive and well. Since the time Hyun Sang entered Mount Hua, not once had such a monumental task been taken by the sect.

Although Mount Hua’s conference with the Southern Edge sect had spread their reputation, since it was an event that was isolated within the sect, many people didn’t believe the rumors or felt they were exaggerated.

In any case, it was important that the disciples who left were proudly making a name for themselves in Kangho.

It was also a great achievement to be able to rebuild and help the nearly collapsed Huayoung Gate and preserve the legacy of Mount Hua.

That piece of information was so good that Hyun Sang couldn’t even bring himself to eat anything because he was so happy.

Hyun Jong kept glancing at the sect.

His hand, which had always been heavily resting on his lap, was fiddling around.

Hyun Sang smiled.

‘He must be happy.’

Why wouldn’t they be happy?

They weren’t simply happy because of the benefits brought to the sect. It was more joyful to see Mount Hua’s disciples going out into the world of their own will and making a name for themselves.
