Return of The Mount Hua – Chapter 467. That's none of my business. (2)

Fortunately, from the perspective of the captured martial artist of Ice Clan, Chung Myung's suggestion was only half accepted.
Energy Dispersion Poison (산공독/散功毒), brought by Tang So-so, limited their internal strength, and neat suppression was carried out at the level of tying them with a strong rope and putting them in the warehouse.
Chung Myung raised his voice because it was more stable to hit the back of their head when they woke up compared to that method, but that's not what a person would do.
At any rate, Mount Hua's disciples, who had dealt with the Ice Clan, came back into the house and sat around the brazier.
"Cough!"
"Father…… Are you all right?”
"Humm."
Hong Yi-myung, who coughed up several times, reached out and stroked Hong Jin-bo's head.
Then he nodded lightly to reassure the child.
"I’m okay, don't worry."
"But……."
"I'm just a little tired. I seem to be having a bit of a cough right now, so can I get Soyolcho (소열초(消熱草)) to drink?”
"I'll dig up some and be right back!"
"Yes, please."
Hong Jin-bo quickly put on his winter clothes again and went outside.
Baek Chun frowned at the sight.
"Will it be all right? Digging herbs in this winter...….”
"The root of the herb can be harvested even in the middle of winter."
“But how about this snowfield… … .”
"It's better to take a little time. I can't say this to that kid yet.”
Hong Yi-myung stared at the door where the child left and opened his mouth.
"Let’s not drag this out. My real name is not Hong Yi-myung, but Han Yi-myung."
Hong Yi-myung. No, Hong Yi-myung sighed deeply.
“I used to be a martial artist at the North Sea Ice Clan. Under the name of Ice Fox (빙호(氷狐)) Han Yi-myung, I was quite famous in the North Sea.” (“나는 북해빙궁의 궁도였소. )
"Then……."
Hong Yi-myung looked at Baek Chun and nodded with a heavy face.
"That's right. I was a servant of the head of the Ice Clan."
"As expected."
If there is a reason why the martial artist of the Ice Clan chased Han Yi-myung, that would be the only reason.
"By the way... they’re still chasing you just because you are the servant of former Ice Clan Leader? Even though it seems that you have put everything down and live in the middle of nowhere."
Han Yi-myung laughed a little bitterly at Baek Chun's words.
"Dojang knows how to change the subject quite well."
“…….”
"What am I gonna hide now? I'll tell you everything. As you said a moment ago, they're not after me. They’re chasing Jin-bo."
"That kid…….”
"That's right."
Han Yi-myung nodded as heavy as ever.
"Surprisingly, he's not my son."
He had a calm tone as if he was telling a very big secret. However, the reactions of those who heard it was not that great. On the contrary, they seemed perplexed as if had heard something natural.
Han Yi-myung tilted his head and asked.
"Aren't you surprised?"
"Do I have to?"
“…….”
"At this point, it's weird not to know."
"It's too obvious, isn't it? First of all, you two don't look alike."
"I know. The kids are kind of handsome.”
“…….”
For Han Yi-myung, who was bewildered by the unexpected response, Baek Chun gave the final blow.
“Anyone with even the slightest eye would know that… … .”
But then.
"What? He’s not your son?"
“…….”
Everyone's heads slowly turned to the side at the sound of a voice next to them.
Chung Myung, who had been basking in the fire right in front of the brazier, had his eyes and mouth wide open.
"I don't know whether he doesn’t prejudice...….”
“… … He just has no insight.”
"He may not have eyes."
Mount Hua’s disciples sighed as if they were frustrated.
Han Yi-myung straightened his expression slightly and said seriously.
"But…… that's not all the secrets of the child."
His eyes became even more determined.
"Don't be surprised. His real name is Seol Yoo-baek, not Hong Jin-bo. He’s the son of the former Ice Clan Leader and the rightful successor to the North Sea Ice Clan."
Then Mount Hua’s disciples just looked at him in silence.
Han Yi-myung asked with a sour face.
"…Aren't you surprised this time?"
"The martial artist at the Ice Clan cared more about the child than the old man."
"That's understandable."
“… … You can't know what's going on unless you're an idiot... … .”
But it was then.
"What? He's the son of a former Leader of the Ice Clan? Oh my gosh!"
Mount Hua disciples’ heads turned again.
Somehow they felt sad seeing Chung Myung with his mouth wide open in surprise.
"……there's a fool."
“It seems like he is just extremely uninterested in other people.”
"Oh, maybe that's right."
Everyone sighed in unison.
"Then the child is now nephew of the current Ice Clan Leader?”
"That's right."
Han Yi-myung's eyes dimmed.
"Seol Chonsang, the current head of the Ice Clan, is not fully supported by the Ice Clan member. Therefore, that child's presence is bound to be an annoyance to him. Because one day he'll grow up and might come looking for his rightful place."
Baek Chun nodded with a heavy face.
Of course, not all of Han Yi-myung's words can be believed. However, if it is true that the former leader was picked by the North Sea people and still had their hearts still towards him, then there is a good chance that the former leader's son will obtain support when he appears.
"Hmm."
The atmosphere has become a little serious.
He had a rough guess of it, but it felt strange to hear it from Han Yi-myung.
"Then……."
Chung Myung stared Han Yi-myung with an incomprehensible face.
"So he's like a prince in the North Sea?"
“… … He's a bit of a prince, but... … .”
"Whoa?"
There was a subtle smile around Chung Myung's mouth.
Anxiety flashed through Baek Chun's heart when he saw the expression.
‘That's the face he had when he was thinking bad things.’
‘What the hell are you going to do...….’
“Then do the people of the North Sea still miss the former leader?”
“… … That's right. Aware of that, Seol Cheonsang is constantly trying to find that child.”
Chung Myung smiled and nodded his head.
It was then.
Seol Yoo-baek, who went out, slammed the door and entered with his eyes trembling.
"Father, the Soyolcho was nearby...….”
Chung Myung flew away even before the child's words were finished. Then he picked up Seol Yoo-baek, put him on the side, and quickly returned to his place.
"Y- You punk!"
"What are you doing!"
However, Chung Myung ignored the cries neatly and smiled happily and looked at Seol Yu-baek.
"So this is the successor of the North Sea Ice Clan?”
"Hey! You're not supposed to say that!”
Fortunately or unfortunately, however, Seol Yoo-baek seemed panicked and not listening to Chung Myung properly. Receiving Chung Myung's eyes, which were full of greed, the child trembled without knowing what to say.
"Do- Dojang?"
"Hahaha."
Chung Myung licked his lips as if drooling.
"How can I use this?"
Looking back and forth was the attitude of people evaluating an object.
When Baek Chun saw it, he freaked out and stopped him.
"Don't do anything weird and put the kid down first, you punk!"
"Sasuk, Sasuk!"
"Huh?"
"Wouldn't there be a place to use this?"
“…….”
‘Hey, you crazy bastard, what do you use him for?’
"……Chung Myung, calm down for now."
"No, well... If it's necessary, wouldn't we’ll be able to get close to Ice Clan if we bring him to there?"
"No, you bastard!"
"Please act like a human being, like a human being!”
Seol Yoo-baek was almost crying now. Chung Myung then finally smacked his lips and put him on the ground.
"Well… It’s a pity.”
Upon release, Seol Yoo-baek ran to his full strength and hid behind Han Yi-myung. Everyone who saw those frightened eyes sighed in unison.
"I'm sorry."
"A clear conscience...….”
"We should have locked him up in advance."
It felt like they saw a child bitten by a dog after the dog was released.
Yoo Iseol and Tang So-so once again blocked Chung Myung's front, as if to prevent further mishaps.
"That kid…….”
Baek Chun looked at Seol Yoo-baek again, who looked around with frightened eyes.
He knew it but, it seems to be true that people looked a little different after hearing the truth.
'He lost his home because of Magyo.'’
It seemed subtly overlapped with Mount Hua’s situation.
‘Oh, of course...’
"Don't you want to go see the Ice Clan by any chance?”
"Oh, shut up! You crazy man!"
"This is crazy! To kidnap a child!
"You are definitely scarier than the Ice Clan!"
“Amitabha! The demon (마구니/魔仇尼) is better! Demon, I am truly sorry for the comparison!”
‘……...It was not the same case for Chung Myung at all.’ (……청명은 전혀 아닌 모양이었지만 말이다.)
Baek Chun, who coughed loudly, sincerely apologized to Han Yi-myung on behalf of Mount Hua.
"……I'm so sorry."
"……No. Judging by it, it seems that you are not able to handle it either.”
Han Yi-myung, who had almost grasped the human being named Chung Myung, shook his head.
"If so, what are you going to do now? It would be dangerous to stay here."
Han Yi-myung grinned at Baek Chun's question.
"I'm not that stupid. How can we have only one shelter in a situation where we are running away from the pursuit of the North Sea Ice Clan? You don't have to worry about us since we can move to a new place."
"Oh... well, that's a relief."
Baek Chun sighed softly. He felt a little relieved.
"……We've delayed too much time. We should get ready to leave here now.”
The disciples rose from their seats at the sign (축객령(逐客令)/Note below.). Han Yi-myung certainly moved slower than before, obviously feeling unwell.
“You’re not in good shape yet.”
"That's good. I’m fine."
Han Yi-myung grinned.
"I've been through this for years to avoid the pursuit of the Ice Clan. This time it was very dangerous, but it wasn't too much to handle, so there's nothing to worry about."
Han Yi-myung bowed his head to Mount Hua’s group.
“I made you get involved in something for nothing, so there is no way I can stop feeling sorry. I don't know if things go wrong because of me...….”
"Don't worry about that."
Chung Myung said with a shrug.
"We're the ones who decided to help, and we're the ones who took the responsibility."
"……Thank you."
"Since this is happening, would you like to come with us?”
"…I'll have to decline."
"Ei, why?"
“I will absolutely refuse.”
It was Han Yi-myung who is now the most determined since they met.
"Then……."
"Please take care. And I ask you to refrain from talking about us in the Ice Clan."
"If anything comes up, I'll say I didn't hear anything."
"I'd appreciate it."
"I'll see you again if it's meant to be."
Mount Hua’s group pulled the cart and waved at Han Yi-myung.
"Sasuk, are the Ice Clan martial artist in the warehouse okay?"
"So-so, how long does the Energy Dispersion Poison last?"
"Without the antidote, it'll stay seven days and seven nights at the most."
"…...that's not gonna kill them, is it?"
"No way."
"Ah, right. They’re still a martial artist. They won't die just by tied up for seven days."
Hye Yeon, who was listening to the conversation, closed his eyes tightly.
'Normally you die, normally! You demons!’
What is it? Why these yangbans are getting more severe day by day?
It was Hye Yeon who was very worried whether he was being stained by them.
Of course... it was too late to worry.
"Seven days…… we'll have to go to the Ice Clan before them. We could say that there was a misunderstanding.”
"Yes. It's not like a person is hurt, so there is nothing they can do to us who were introduced by the Namman Yasugungju.”
Baek Chun murmured quietly as he saw Han Yi-myung waving his hand and Seol Yoo-baek standing next to him.
"……What a strange fate."
"I know right."
He let out a sigh of subtle regret.
But…….
“Don’t you really want to go to the Ice Clan?”
“Y- You crazy bastard!”
"…Let's go fast, Sahyung. I'm going to see him kidnap a child at this rate."
"No matter how crazy you are, it won't be to that extent."
"Are you sure?"
"…Let's go quickly."
The cart set off violently and moved forward.
Chung Myung, who climbed on top of the pile of luggage, glanced away at Han Yi-myung and Seol Yoo-baek.
'Heirs...'
- Are you the one who called Plum Blossom Sword Saint?
"They somehow look so much alike."
Chung Myung leaned his head against the pile of luggage.
Hong Jin-bo's face looks like a picture of the North Sea Ice Clan Leader he had seen in the past.
As soon as Chung Myung saw him, he thought something was wrong.
‘I feel sorry for him.’
Magyo's event is notorious for not leaving any trouble. Perhaps none of the other families of the former leader have survived.
In other words, that child is in a situation where he has no family, and the only remaining relative is his uncle who tries to kill him.
Chung Myung saw Seol Yu-baek, who is completely distant like a dot.
"Hmm."
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"Well, we don't know what's going to happen in the world.”
He shoved his hand into his bosom and pulled Baek-ah out.
"You remember, didn't you?"
Baek-ah nodded violently with his black eyes shining.
"You can find it if I tell you to, right?”
Once again, he nodded his head violently.
"Just try not to find it. I'm will make a scarf out of you."
Chung Myung grinned.
He thinks it might be a fun relationship depending on the use.
*note
축객령(逐客令)
Eviction Order.
Often referred to as Chukgaekryeong, it refers to an order to expel guests because they hate them, and more broadly, it means an exclusive policy towards foreigners. Since they don’t hate each other, I suppose the expression was used because Han Yi-myung seemed to hint that both of them should go on separate way since secret shelter is a secret shelter when it’s a secret (Hard to understand right? I don’t even know what I’m saying.)
Become one of my Patreon for access to 54 advance chapters. I update at least one chapter a day on there. But I could also skip a day when things on my side became hectic. There will be a mass release at end of the month, probably. Mass release IS ON the web, not Patreon.
