“How was your morning?”
Hyun Jong smiled at Hyun Sang’s concerned question.
“I couldn’t sleep well.”
“Because of the children?”
“Yes.”
Hyun Jong sighed.
“I can’t be at peace after sending out our children to remote and difficult places. I know that the children are strong as Hyun Young said, and that this is the path Mount Hua has to take, but…”
“The human heart has a mind of its own. If the will of a human can do wonders alone, why would one need a heart?”
“Right… that.”
Hyun Jong couldn’t hide his bitterness.
‘I cannot properly lead the children like I should because we don’t have enough strength.’
This was the last wish that Hyun Jong had. Mount Hua was developing extremely fast with Chung Myung’s help, but the driving force for that development was the children.
The fact that Hyun Jong couldn’t develop and lead the children of Mount Hua into adults and his inability to provide them a shoulder to lean on for support made him sad frequently.
Hyun Sang, spoke in a firm manner.
“Sect leader, believe in our children.”
Hyun Jong turned around and Hyun Sang smiled as he continued.
“Didn’t Hyun Young tell us? The children are better than us. I don’t think he was wrong when he said that. It felt absurd when he said it, but in retrospect haven’t they proved themselves enough?”
“Yes, they have.”
“What we need to do is give the children a solid foundation and a home to come back to.”
Hyun Jong nodded but his face couldn’t smile.
“But… I am worried. It is their first time going so far away.”
It was then.
“S-Sect leader!”
From the other side, Hyun Young was running towards him with his eyes wide open.
“You are running around like a boar as if we have some work so early in the morning.”
“H-huge! Sect leader! Something huge! Huge~! It is a real big deal!”
Hyun Jong’s face became serious. Hyun Young could have acted out once or twice, but he wasn’t the kind of person to behave like this without reason.
And for him to fuss like this must mean that something huge had really happened.
“Wh-what happened! Try to explain so we can understand as well!”
“Tang! Tang family!”
“Tang family?”
“Tang family lord! The Lord of Tang family is in front of our gates!”
Hyun Jong’s eyes went wide as he heard the unexpected news.
“Who? Who did you say has come?”
“The Lord of the Sichuan Tang family has come to see the Sect Leader of Mount Hua!”
‘Tang family Lord?’
‘Why has he come so suddenly?’
“H-Hurry!”
“Yes. This isn’t the time to think!”
Hyun Jong quickly moved his feet. As soon as he ran to the gate, he saw Tang Gunak and bowed to the man. Or at least he tried to. Before he could do that, the man in front of him clasped his hands together and bowed to him.
