“Uh? You want me to wear this?”
“Yes.”
Baek Cheon looked at the clothes in front of him with a frown.
“This is… the merchant group’s clothes?”
“Yes, these are the clothes of the group.”
“Then why do we have to wear them?”
“Oh my, warrior. The place we are heading to is Yunnan. If you enter Yunnan wearing the clothes you have on now, it will cause a huge commotion. We have to enter quietly without problems.”
“Ah, I see.”
Baek Cheon nodded.
‘First, Chung Myung has to be persuaded…’
“What?”
“…”
Baek Cheon shuddered as he saw Chung Myung, who had already changed out of his sect robes.
“You are wearing it?”
“Yes. Why?”
“No… I just thought you wouldn’t.”
The robe with Mount Hua’s plum blossom engraved on it was in his hands. Chung Myung might or might not have respect for other people, but his respect for Mount Hua had always been overflowing. Because of this, Baek Cheon thought that he would have to force Chung Myung to change his clothes.
“Why?”
“No, those clothes…”
“This?”
Chung Myung shoved the robes of Mount Hua into a bag.
“Clothes are clothes.”
“…”
“Sasuk. Change your clothes. Let’s head into Yunnan.”
“…uh.”
Baek Cheon took the robes from the merchant group member. After that, all the disciples of Mount Hua gathered in one place and laughed as they looked at each other.
Each day they looked at each other wearing the uniform of Mount Hua, so seeing them dressed as porters was awkward in their eyes.
“Doesn’t this look custom-made for Jo Gul?”
“Kuak, as expected. It looks perfect because of the bastard who’s wearing it.”
“D-Don’t make fun of me, sasuk!”
Jo Gul’s face was dyed red.
At that time, Kwak Gyung, the leader of the group, approached them and requested.
“As you know, Yunnan is a dangerous place. You must not accompany anyone other than authorized people.”
“Yes, head.”
“So, I earnestly ask you to not do anything that may reveal your identity. Please, I will say it again! Please.”
Seeing the head ask this of them repeatedly, Baek Cheon, who became curious, said.
“It looks like Yunnan is under strict control.”
“Yunnan has multitudes of people living in it; this much is certain. But Yunnan isn’t just simply under the ‘influence’ of the Nanman Beast Palace. It is said that they control even the entry of people into Yunnan. And their tyranny is even worse.”
“Why leave the power in their hands?”
“Yunnan is a barren land. There is nothing there for others to gain by fighting or defeating them. Therefore, the officials have no intention of restoring power there. As a result, only the tea traders in Yunnan get harmed.”
