CHAPTER 178:It is better than dying from frustration (3)

After descending Mount Hua and arriving at Hua-Um, Chung Myung and his party headed to the Eunha branch there.

Hwang Jongi, who was waiting, politely said.

“Come here.”

Baek Cheon looked at the large carriage and smiled bitterly.

“We’ll be riding this one?”

With two sets of horses in front of the carriage, he first felt skeptical about whether he could really enjoy such luxury.

“It seems a bit too much.”

“It isn’t.”

Hwang Jongi said with a humble face.

“This is because of our failure. If we can help, we should do it properly.”

Hwang Jongi straightened himself. This happened because the Eunha Guild could not procure the ingredients requested by Mount Hua.

Of course, it wasn’t their fault, but since they benefited much from Mount Hua, they couldn’t help but acknowledge it.

Hwang Mun-Yak also gave special instructions to support Mount Hua’s disciples and ensure they didn’t feel inconvenienced.

“Oh. Young Master, you seem to have spent some money.”

Chung Myung said while shrugging his shoulders.

“But I don’t think this will be of much use. It’ll be faster for us to run.”

“Wha–what are you saying!?”

“How can a person run faster than a horse!?”

Although his sahyungs protested, Chung Myung just smiled and gently continued.

“It’s possible. Don’t worry. Don’t worry. There’s nothing a person can’t do with effort!”

“No! You idiot! You need to think with some common sense!”

“Huh. Breaking that common sense is what martial artists are all about. If we run like dogs, then we can run faster than a horse!”

“… he’s gone crazy.”

Hwang Mun-Yak laughed at Chung Myung’s words.

“Of course, that would be possible for young disciple Chung Myung, and it shouldn’t be much different for the other disciples of Mount Hua. But saving a bit of energy on your journey would be better. Think of it that way.’

“Oh?”

“On the road to Sichuan, the merchants of our guild will keep additional horses prepared. When the horses get tired, they can be changed along the way. If the horses can keep going without a break, wouldn’t it be possible to shorten the time to Yunnan by a lot?”

Baek Cheon, who had been listening silently till now, asked in shock.

“You’re giving us such precious horses?”

“Even if they are precious, wouldn’t it serve a greater purpose if Mount Hua’s disciples made use of them? Don’t worry about such things.”

Baek Cheok quickly closed the distance to Hwang Jongi.

“Thank you so much for the kindness and hospitality Eunha is showing.”

This was something he was truly grateful and appreciative of.

However, the real reason he felt such gratitude was because he was afraid that Chung Myung would run them to death.

“Hmmm.”
