Just because the finals had started, didn’t mean anything had changed.

Was it because the atmosphere had already been a little more serious, and the expectations could only be a little higher?

The seats of the sect leaders were still up on the podium.

The only thing that had changed, albeit minutely, was the layout.

‘The Nine Great Sects One Union. And it was the same for the Five Great Families.’

Hyun Jong glanced down at his chair. No, he confirmed that it was his chair.

The front.

Everyone had been shifted, and now his seat wasn’t in the second row… it was now in the frontmost row. His chair was added right next to the seats of the Nine Great Sects and Five Great Families.

-The seating arrangements really don’t matter, but I am a little embarrassed because the sect leader with the most disciples in the finals is made to sit in the second row.

The words of Tang Gunak had made a decisive blow. In the end, the sect leaders who had sensitive ears simply agreed and moved.

Although this was only an evaluation based on their performance, Mount Hua was recognized as good enough to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the other sects.

If things had been normal, blinking at the man was the only consideration they needed to show.

But only if things were normal.

Unfortunately, even the current Hyun Jong wasn’t normal.

The sounds of the other sect leaders gossiping could be heard around him.

“Gambling…”

“People are gambling in the holy land of Shaolin, what the hell?”

“What sect are they from?”

“I heard he is the gate leader of the Huayoung Gate.”

“Huayoung Gate? Has anyone ever heard of them before?”

Whenever Huayoung Gate and gambling came up, Hyun Jong flinched as if someone had poked him in the ass.

‘This.’

As he had thought, it might be better to run away right now. But since he had already climbed up the podium, he couldn’t do it.

At that moment, Wudang Sect’s Heo Do Jinin smiled subtly and opened his mouth,

“Huyoung Gate…”

In a slightly low voice, he mumbled,

“It seems like a place I know?”

“…”

Hyun Jong’s face paled as he looked at him.

In the past, Mount Hua had collided with Wudang for Huayoung.

Heo Do Jinin, who was from Wudang, was bound to know that Huayoung Gate was from Mount Hua.

Heo Do Jinin looked at Hyun Jong and smiled.

But Hyun Jong felt like this smile was from a viper.

“You know the Huayoung Gate?”

“How is the Wudang Sect able to know such a place? Come on, speak up, Sect Leader.”

“We need to act now.”

Hearing this, Hyun Jong was sweating bullets trying to think about how to deal with all this,
