“They’re leaving?”

“…yes.”

“Already?”

“Yes.”

Tang Gunak looked at Tang Zhan with a blank expression.

“It has only been an hour since we received the report that the disciples of Mount Hua returned to Yunnan. But you are saying they have already set off for Shaanxi?”

“…I am flustered about it as well.”

“Huh.”

Tang Gunak sighed as he heard that. He was disappointed as well.

“What could be the reason? They moved in such a hurry that they didn’t even stop for a cup of tea?”

Regardless of how busy they were, he had assumed that they would stop by the Tang Family estate at least once. But for them to go away without even looking for them even once…

‘It is like him.’

Tang Gunak let out a small sigh.

As he thought about it further, he realized that there was no reason for them to come here. Since Mount Hua and the Tang Family were friends rather than people who had to report their situation.

‘Nevertheless, being saddened by their absence means they are special to me.’

Tang Gunak had a bitter smile on his face.

‘What is it I’m feeling?’

It feels like the friend he had planned to play together with for a long time had suddenly canceled on him.

“And this hasn’t been confirmed, but…”

“What?”

“It seems like the disciples of Mount Hua have obtained the sole rights on Yunnan tea.”

“…sole rights.”

“Yes, but we might have to get more confirmation.”

“There is nothing to check.”

Tang Zhan was slightly shocked as he heard what the Patriarch said.

“If it is him, he might not have just gotten the sole rights for the trade but has probably robbed the Beast Palace as well. Even we were robbed of what we had hidden in our Tang family, so what difference does the Beast Palace make?”

“But…”

Tang Zhan, who remembered the face of Chung Myung, nodded as if he understood.

“Anyway, they have left.”

It was the moment Tang Gunak expressed a little regret…

A slightly muffled voice came from outside.

“Lord!”

“What is it?”

“The head of the Four Seas Merchant Chamber is asking to see the Lord.”

“Hm?”

Tang Gunak frowned.

‘The Four Seas Merchant Chamber.’

“Bring them in.”

“Yes!”

Not long after, the door opened, and Jo Pyung entered the vast room.

“I greet you, Lord.”

“It has been a while. But what is the purpose of your visit?”

“I have come to deliver a letter.”
