“Did you just say Yunnan?”
Jo Pyung’s voice seemed slightly angered.
Jo Gul shut his eyes slightly as he heard that voice. His father, with his unfamiliar grey hair, was looking at him after a long time.
“Yes.”
“You are asking this after you know what Yunnan is like?”
“Yes.”
“Despite knowing that!”
Jo Pyung’s face trembled.
“Is this what you say after you come back after 5 years? That you want to go to Yunnan? So this doesn’t mean that you are coming home then?”
“No.”
“You brat!”
Jo Pyung looked at Jo Gul with anger.
“The time you had promised to come back home has already passed. You come back home so late and then you tell me that you aren’t here for the sake of the promise? And you are talking about all these things?”
His voice was clearly filled with anger.
However, he wasn’t a child who did not know about the worries and regrets of his father.
‘This is why I didn’t want to come.’
Jo Gul sighed as he turned his head. It was a situation he would have had to face one day.
“Father.”
“Right. Give me the full story.”
“Going to Yunnan is something I must do.”
“What you must do is come back home and succeed the family business.”
“Isn’t brother here for that?”
“Have you forgotten about our family tradition? It is the law of this family to have our entire business run by the whole family!”
Jo Gul sighed.
“I promised the sect leader that this trip to Yunnan will would be a success.”
“Then the promise you made to me wasn’t a promise?”
“That…”
“Don’t say anything else!”
Their thoughts were already in different directions.
“I even allowed you to enter the fallen Mount Hua Sect because you wanted to test yourself at a place that wasn’t under the influence of our family. Was it because you believed that you could grow through the suffering in that declining place? And you are saying that you want to give all this up and stay in that Mount Hua?”
“Mount Hua is no longer a fallen sect. Soon the name of Mount Hua will resound throughout the world.”
Jo Pyung looked at Jo Gul.
“… if you say that, it could be true.”
He didn’t deny or ignore the words of his son.
“But that is something Mount Hua will handle. The place where you need to be is none other than this place, our family merchant chamber!”
“…”
“Gul.”
Jo Pyung took a deep breath.
“I am your father. How can you not understand the feelings of your father who sent his son to a faraway place?”
“…father.”
Jo Gul bit his lip. The whole conversation made him feel like he was being pulled into their advances. And he was even aware of his mistakes.
