Return of the Mount Hua Sect Novel Translation

Chapter 17. No way, right? (2) Clink. “Kikikii.” Clink. Clink. “Khehehehe.” “.....” A thick money pouch arced up above his head and dropped back into his hand. Each time it hit his palm, it rang with a heavy jingle, and Cheong Myeong burst into laughter. The Mount Hua disciples watching him didn’t feel entirely at ease. “Is this really okay, sasuk?” “...A bit late to ask that now.” Baek Cheon smiled faintly. At this point, there was even a hint of dizziness in that smile. “We’ve come too far to make a fuss over something like this. Just… go with it.” Hye Yeon nodded in admiration. “A commendable mindset for a Buddhist practitioner, siju. I’d believe you if you said you were close to enlightenment.” “I’m a Taoist, at least in name, so if anything, please call it ascension to immortality.” “Aren’t they the same thing? You die either way.” Jo Geol’s muttering was cleanly ignored. “No, but seriously—are we just letting this slide?” Tang Soso spoke up, st...

Chapter 16. No way, right? (1) Yoon Jong tilted his head. “Does that even make sense? Beggars have no money, but the Beggar Union is rich? How can they have so much money when it's just swarming with beggars?” “Tsk tsk, sahyung, think about it. Let’s say those swarming beggars each pay just one coin a year to the sect. Then how much money do you think that adds up to?” “Well…” Yoon Jong trailed off and shut his mouth. When people refer to the Beggar Union, the phrase most often used is the hundred-thousand Beggar Union . It means the number of its members reaches a staggering hundred thousand. Of course, that’s probably exaggerated… ‘…Or is it really?’ The idea that there are a hundred thousand beggars trained in martial arts is surely an exaggeration. If there really were that many, the jianghu would have long since been unified under the Beggar Union. But if you consider that even ordinary beggars who don’t practice martial arts are still loosely connected to th...

Chapter 15. I Can’t Do This Anymore. Seriously. (5) “Whose fault do you think this is in the first place?!” “We had to save the kid……” “I’m saying, was that really the only way to do it?!” “I couldn’t think of anything else, so what was I supposed to do……!” “This is beyond reckless! Who was it? Who said we should send sasuk?!” “You did.” At Yoon Jong’s blunt remark, Tang Soso flinched. “W-When did I ever?!” “No, you did. I heard it too. You were the one who said to send him.” “You all thought the same thing! Why am I the only one getting blamed?!” “Oh? So that’s how you want to play it?” The disciples began tearing into each other, their accusations escalating as if they might start biting. Watching the warm scene quietly, Hye Yeon smiled gently and nodded. “I always feel this, but you all truly get along very well.” Hearing that, Cheong Myeong also smiled with satisfaction. ‘I guess I should stop hitting him on the head now.’ Does he really say that t...
