Chapter Text

Chung Myung is Chung Myung!

Chung Myung glared at the talisman...

' Now now everyone calm down, It was going to be revealed sooner or later!?'

The disciples' mouths were touching the ground. They even forgot to breathe.

The elders had the same expression as the younger ones. The five swords looked at Chung Myung with a confused face. On the other hand, Hyun Jong stood still with an expressionless face. Chung Myung let out a tired sigh.

He swore to himself that he was going to kill the person who created this-this Talisman.

"Sect Leader I can explain... T-thing is I was going to tell you all when everything is resolved."

Chung Myung thought that Hyun Jong was angry or felt betrayed.

But Hyun Jong actually was angry at the talisman, Of course, he was shocked to hear that the kid that appeared in front of their gate 3 years ago was their ancestor, but he didn't want him to forcefully reveal it. Not liking the fact that his privacy was thrown away.

Hyun Jong looked at Chung Myung who was trying to explain but was stuttering and seemed as if he lost his world.

"Chung Myung..."

Hyun Jong gave Chung Myung a gentle smile. A small filled with millions of emotions that can't be put into words.

And it seemed as if Chung Myung understood as he stopped talking and stared at Hyun Jong with confused eyes.

Everyone present also started breathing again and focused on what the sect leader would say.

"Chung Myung it doesn't matter if you are the plum blossom sword saint or Mount Hua divine dragon, to us you are Chung Myung a disciple of Mount Hua."

Everyone nodded.

That's true, he is still the same Chung Myung that was some moments ago.

"Chung Myung-ah you are still our Sajae no matter what."

"Right, you are still Mount Hua's mad dog..."

"Chung Myung it doesn't matter if you were a murderer in your past life... or maybe it does!"

Ignoring that...

"You are still my baby!"

It was Chung Myung's turn to be shocked, overwhelmed by so many emotions Chung Myung let out a laugh making everyone turn toward their laughing Sajae. Only the laughter of Chung Myung could be heard. A tear fell down his cheek.

"Why am I hahaha... crying?"

Chung Myung felt as if gravity was pushing him harder and his legs were getting weak. He tried his best to stop his tears from coming out and standing straight, but it seemed his body wasn't in control. Mount hua watched as Chung Myung fell to the ground.

Hyun Young and Hyun Jong placed on that small back trying to comfort the now laughing and crying boy.

He doesn't know why but he can't stop from laughing and keeping his tears from coming out. So embarrassing... crying in front of the children.

Ten minutes passed by when Chung Myung finally stopped his emotional outburst.

"I am now embarrassed. hehe... I wonder what came over me?"

"Chung Myung, are you okay?"

"I am fine, I just never expected you guys to be like that... haha- You kids have grown so much"

Now they can't even say he is the youngest, Wait how old is he?

Now everyone was curious about this.

The Talisman shone brightly

"Do you wanna blind us or something?"

'It's just you guys are ignoring me,'

How do you even know that?

' If you are thinking how do I know that I can detect your lies because of your emotions.'

That's creepy...

' Now with the next questions...'

"Ugh, more questions!"

"I just want to sleep now."

The Talisman turned black...

Black? definitely not a good news.

'Do you ever feel lonely?'

Why does this Talisman do it?

"No, thanks to you all I don't"

"In the past but no longer."

" Before Chung Myung arrived, I never actually cared about interacting with others."

"Sometimes when I miss the people from the past Mount Hua, but you guys don't leave me until late at night. The only time I feel lonely is when I miss that leech!"

Chung Myung let out an annoyed groan, but deep down he was actually happy that a part of his heart had been filed by the current Mount Hua. Even in the past, he felt lonely when Tang Bo wasn't with him. Everyone was scared of him and never approached him, but in this life he had so many people who cared about him.

Chung Myung is feeling emotional again. Has he gone senile because of old age?

'What would be your dying wish?'

"My grave to be on Mount Hua..."

"Nobody in Mount Hua ever starves"

...

"That Mount will continue to exist."

That was Chung Myung's wish in his last life too.

Right, if someone asked who loved Mount Hua other than god, they would all look at Chung Myung.

Even before his origin was revealed they knew that Chung Myung loved Mount Hua a lot.

'What’s one request you’ll make about your funeral?'

"I request that my grave would be on Mount Hua."

"I would like to have a big funeral"

"I don't want anyone to cryatn my funeral."

"I would like the disciples to perform the 24-plum-blossom technique."

"I want my grave to be near the thirteenth disciple of Mount Hua Chung Jin."

Right, they must be close. the one who saw how Chung Myung went crazy finding his remains, thought that it made sense now.

"I was his Sahyung."

"We see..."

'At what age did you die? 1'

Everyone looked at Chung Myung a question they have been wondering too.

"at 82"

"Oh, so that's why you act like an old man because you are one."

"I still looked like in my thirties and many women still wanted to marry me."

Right the plum blossom sword saint had high cultivation. The more they know him the cooler he seems.

Wait...

"So your lover died in his seventies, so that means you were older than him?"

"What has been I telling you about, he never advantage of me."

They felt embarrassed, those theories should never be said out loud again. All of the disciples agreed silently if Chung Myung heard it he was going to make them die from embarrassment.

'If you were to write a will right now what would it be?'

"Hmm the next sect leader would be Unam or Baek Chun."

"All of the wealth I possess would be given to Chung Myung."

"Thank you Elder-nim!"

Why is life so unfair.

"What are you all looking at me like that, you all know that 80% of the money is because of him."

That's why they can't say anything then just to suffer in silence.

The Talisman turned a bright yellow...

'What is your lover's name? 40'

(I am bad at coming up with names...)

"What a pretty name!"

"Thank you!"

Now it was Chung Myung's turn. If someone was able to be with him for who knows how long they have been together. That person must be a madman too.

"That leech's name is Tang Bo, an ancestor of the Tang family."

Everyone looked at Tang Soso in unison.

The one who was being stared at was shocked. She immediately recognized the name.

"Are you talking about the dark Saint?"

"Yes"

"The one that the beast palace said that saved the world with you?"

Beak Chun asked.

"Yes, he is one of the strongest ancestors in the history of the Tang family."

Wow!

"And is this person your lover?"

"Yes but that brat used to be an annoying poison leech."

"So were you stronger than him?"

"Of course, he always gets beaten up by me?"

but at night time he uses it to his advantage.

Was he really that amazing or it's just that Chung Myung was just too strong?

' How many Shaolin monks do you think you need to gather in to reflect enough light to blind someone?'

"Pft-hahaha..."

Baek Chun held his breath not to laugh out loud like that crazy bastard. Jo Gul reached his limit and burst out laughing.

"You can laugh!"

"A-are you sure?"

"Yes!"

Everyone burst out laughing except the first-class disciples and the sect leader. They shouldn't laugh. Hyun Jong coughed trying not to laugh.

"2 or 3 are enough"

Hye Yeon didn't know what to do... He looked in the distant sky and shed a tear.

How cruel these people are.

'What is the weirdest dream you ever had?'

"I once dreamed of a dog wearing a Mount Hua uniform."

It's because of Chung Myung...

"I dreamt of feeding mooncakes to a dog."

again Chung Myung

"Why did everyone have a dream about a dog in Mount Hua."

"What dream did you have?"

Changing the topic... well he mostly suffers from nightmares in this life but in the past...

" Tang Bo became a snake and..."

"and?"

"I don't wanna say it!"

'You have to say it... or you are going to die."

"Ha... he uh licked me and then turned into a beautiful butterfly."

Nobody gets why that was embarrassing.

"He then grabbed me and flew me from the war to a faraway place and we lived on a mountain in a small hut."

"That's actually... cute!"

"Right it is wholesome."

"Who knew that our Chung Myung dreams about wholesome things and not beating up people"

The Talisman turned into a shade of green similar to Chung Myung's ribbon

'I guess it time for me to go now

"Finally"

The Talisman turned into a green flame.

"Oh it looks beautiful."

After somemonte the ashes stayed.

They then tried to move but couldn't...

"Huh?"

"Why can't we move?"

"We shouldn't have trusted it!"

The ashes began moving... it formed into a beautiful butterfly.

The same butterfly as in... Chung Myung gasped as the butterfly went through him and flew high in the sky.

'love you Hyung-nim'

So it was that brat, huh...

Chung Myung let out smile...

When I meet you I am going to beat you to a pulp brat.

"I can move!"

Everyone began standing up and all of a sudden they ran to Chung Myung and hugged him.

Chung Myung was taken by surprise.

"Ugh, brats let me go or I am going to kill you!"

"Chung Myung just shut up and let us hug you."

Ah- these brats have gone insane...

"Chung Myung I will say it again as the sect leader, you belong to Mount Hua, and Mount Hua will always stand with you."

Chung Myung stopped struggling and let himself be hugged.

I guess I will just beat Tang Bo until he is bruised. I am so merciful.

"Now let me go brats, we still have to train."

Everyone fled from the ground while carrying the cushions with them.

Chung Myung just stood still, let out a sigh, and looked at the sky...

I guess I am no longer alone
