“Of course, it is me.”
“….”
Hyun Tang’s face was subtly contorted,
“Did you say you are the sect leader of Mount Hua?”
“Yes.”
“Huh.”
Hyun Tang snorted sarcastically,
“Such a strange thing. A sect leader who no one chose. The Mount Hua ordinances, which have been passed down for hundreds of years, have been pushed to the ground like this?”
“…”
“Are you really qualified to call yourself the sect leader of Mount Hua? You were not recognized by our teachers, nor expected to do anything by the elders, and even the sahyungs never recognized you. Are you saying that you still deserve this?”
Hyun Jong, who heard it all, smiled.
“Sahyung.”
“A little while ago, you called me by name, and now you call me Sahyung. You must have come to your senses now?”
“You still haven’t come to your senses, have you?”
“… what?”
Hyun Jong shook his head as if this was funny,
“It seems that the sect which had worked so hard couldn’t lead Sahyung to a higher place. The Sahyung, who once seemed like the best to me, now only looks like a child.”
“Y-you brat…”
“You asked who the sect leader of Mount Hua is?”
Hyun Jong spoke in a calm voice.
“It is Hyun Jong who is the sect leader of Mount Hua, and no one can deny this fact.”
“Ancestors ordained me as the sect leader.”
“That was the will of the ancestors.”
“Are you saying you will reject the will of your ancestors?”
Hyun Jong smiled as he watched Hyun Tang growl.
“Sahyung.”
“…”
“If Sahyung had come back to Mount Hua three years earlier, I might have followed you. Even if the disciples and the sajaes coughed up blood, I would have taken the side of Sahyung and returned to being an ordinary person from Mount Hua.”
“…but?”
“Not now.”
Hyun Jong’s shoulders were straight and wide,
“I know now. No one in this world is more qualified than me to be the sect leader of Mount Hua. And no one can develop Mount Hua better than I have. So….”
He spoke proudly; no, this was a declaration.
“Even if it goes against the will of the ancestors, even if it goes against the laws of the ancestors, I will not give up the position of sect leader. Because that is the way for Mount Hua.”
“Ha!”
Hyun Beop, who was still there, laughed,
“Look at you speaking all flashy when you mean to go against the will of the ancestors and Mount Hua?”
The words were like stabs to his lungs, but Hyun Jong didn’t get angry even after hearing that.
“It seems like you misunderstood what I meant.”
