“If you look at the Central Plains as if it were a checkers board, the place where you have to make a path to escape from this siege that is tightening at you from all directions… both inside and outside.”
“Do you think Mount Hua is worth that much? Mount Hua isn’t even in the Nine Great Sects anymore.”
“If it wasn’t worth all that because we aren’t part of the Nine Great Sects, would we join hands with the Tang family if we were? We would be the same as the other sects.”
Tang Gunak looked at Chung Myung with a bewildered face.
Even if that was true, people don’t usually say such things, especially in front of the Lord of Tang family.
“Let’s talk without pretense. Because I don’t have the hobby of talking in circles for nothing. The Tang Lord is trying to hold back the other sects from besieging the Tang family by taking the hand of Mount Hua. That is your true purpose.”
“…”
“If the rumors spread that the Tang family formed an alliance with Mount Hua, of course they will start to become conscious of our sect. That will ease the scrutiny on your family.”
Tang Gunak let out a low sigh.
“You’re guess…”
Tang Gunak eased his form and sat tall as he looked at Chung Myung with a slightly serious face.
“I think you misunderstood.”
“What part?”
“That I am a young brat who just knows martial arts.”
“…”
“I am going to correct you.”
‘Tang Bo.’
‘Tang Bo you bastard.’
‘Look at this this, I will come see you later. Why didn’t you take care of your descendants, you stupid bastard!’
Not knowing what was going on in Chung Myung’s head, Tang Gunak simply looked at him and said nothing.
‘What is this…’
Tang Gunak hadn’t had much experience with people being so direct with him. In particular, he had never felt so thoroughly exposed, and that too, to a child who hadn’t lived half his life.
‘With such helplessness in heart.’
In Tang Gunak’s head, the evaluation of Mount Hua and Chung Myung were spot on. And the change in these plans were also right.
“I admit it. I wanted that.”
Tang Gunak simply acknowledged Chung Myung’s words.
It wasn’t a good idea to lie around someone who so clearly saw through him. Negotiations would only become more difficult if the two sides couldn’t trust each other. It was better to admit it from the start.
“So, does Mount Hua have other thoughts?”
“No. it isn’t different. But…”
“But…”
“In our alliance, the Tang Family mostly gains a number of liberties while Mount Hua has too many constraints, so it is unfair.”
“Um…”
“I want a fair price. A fair price… it is not something that is to be given out in a condescending manner.”
Chung Myung looked at Tang Gunak with calm eyes.
