ROMHS Chap 151 - 350

CHAPTER 203:Let's just call it my whim (3)

“What is the Lord even thinking?”

At the roundtable, Tang Gunak went stiff as he heard that.

‘Damned old men!’

The Tang family was a sect of blood.

Sometimes, that was what made the Tang family so special and also different from the other sects. Because it was completely centered around blood ties, it had a bond that couldn’t be compared to sects.

However, it doesn’t always have advantages.

Being centered around blood meant that the opinions of older people were given more weight.

If it was an ordinary sect, elders who step down from their posts to complete their own martial arts try to get involved in the matters of the family.

And it was similar here as well.

The elders of the Tang family, whose positions of power in the family had already expired, now held a position where they advised the Lord. And the place where they all usually gathered was the family hall.

In the past, this was a gathering merely to advise the Lord. However, as years passed, the elders all became equal to the Lord… no, rather, it was like they had more say in things.

Even if Tang Gunak was the Lord who had absolute authority within the family, there was a limit when it came to wielding that authority over his uncles and other older people.

“An alliance with Mount Hua. Not Wudang, or the Southern Edge sect, but Mount Hua? What the hell were you thinking?”

Tang Gunak frowned as he looked at the elders shouting.

And so, the fight started.

Could it be called a fight?

Tang Gunak, unable to bear the rush of angry voices that were directed at him, was about to say something. But before he could even open his mouth, someone’s soft voice pierced through the heavy atmosphere.

“Let’s all calm down and listen to the Lord first.”

“But.”

“Won’t you listen to my words?”

“…sorry.”

The Elder, whose name was Tang Woe, looked at them and then at Tang Gunak.

“Lord, tell us now. What were you thinking?”

There was a lot of leeway in his voice. Tang Gunak cleared his voice, making sure there was no hostility.

“Mount Hua is worthy of an alliance with us.”

Tang Woe looked at Tang Gunak and said,

“It is strange.”

And with cold eyes, he said.

“Unless the Lord’s eyes were clouded, I don’t know how you could come to such an evaluation. Did Mount Hua regain its old status without my knowledge? If not…”

With a scornful voice, Tang Woe continued.

“Has the Tang family fallen in power without me knowing about it?”

Knowing that this was obvious ridicule, Tang Gunak held back.

“I will say it again, I saw potential in Mount Hua.”

They both looked at each other. One was the Lord of the Tang family, and the other was someone who represented the elders of the family.

And the other people too.
