Chapter 543: Sect Leader Sahyung. The Kids Are All Grown Up (3)

Gulp. Gulp. Gulp.

Kuaaaaak! This is goodddd!

Han Yi-Myungs face drained of color as he watched in disbelief.

What kind of drunkard

Snow Dew Alcohol.

The alcoholic drink that only the upper-ranked people drank, even within the Ice Palace. Even the previous Palace Lord only drank it from a specially-made cup.

But now, this Taoist in front of him was gulping it down right from the bottle.

Yaaah, this homemade alcohol is the best! One more bottle!

Taoist, I have it right here!

But it was Seol So-Baek who stood and served the drink, not Chung Myung.

Where did his authority as the Palace Lord disappear to?

Thankfully, there were no other Ice Palace members present.

Kuak. This alcohol is delicious.

As they observed Chung Myung finish one bottle after another, the fundamental question arose: was this man truly a Taoist?

Although, it was not too late to consider that.

And next to Chung Myung was a pure white fur tearing into the meat.

Chachachap!

[Is this all for me?]

Chung Myungs eyes widened in fear, but he soon nodded.

Right, well you did well this time.

Hearing those words, Baek Ah stood up and pushed out her belly.

Right, eat it, eat now.

The two of them, no, a man and a beast, devoured the alcohol and the meat.

At that moment, Jo Gul, who was seated next to Han Yi-Myung, turned to Baek Cheon and asked.

But, Sasuk.

What?

That bastard is still recovering. Is it alright to drink like that?

Leave it alone.

He seems to be doing better than I thought.

No, even if he feels better, he will die.

What kind of conversation was this?

Han Yi-Myung shook his shocked face.

I dont know anything at all.

His stomach hurt as he watched Chung Myung, and his mind felt blurry listening to the disciples of Mount Hua.

Lets see.

Finally, Chung Myung set the bottle aside and opened something. It was a booklet containing the list of assets under the Ice Palace.

Palace Lord.

Han Yi-Myung unknowingly shut his eyes tightly.

It was satisfying to witness Seol So-Baek scold and bully the elders in order to obtain this list.

-I want you to write down every single detail, leaving nothing behind! Do you understand?

This must be my karma.

Seol So-Baek used to be a good-natured kid who would listen to everything, but now that he had become the Palace Lord, he had become someone who would do whatever it took to get things done in the palace.

It wasnt known just how much Han Yi-Myung would have to handle because of this

Kuaak. I have been investigating everything.

Good. Did the Palace Lord do it all? Thats nice.

Thank you, Taoist!

It was such a dark world.

And the darkness started to smudge his foot, but in Han Yi-Myungs eyes, the dark soot could only be Chung Myung.

This wasnt just about avoiding getting his foot stained with soot. It was as if he was drawing out his soul and drowning him in the river. How else could this longing be explained?

Ahem.

Whether or not Han Yi-Myung understood, Chung Myung was already engrossed in the booklet in his hands. But with each page turned, Chung Myungs expression grew sadder.

So-Baek.

Address him as the Lord of the palace! You vulgar fool!

You are shaming the martial sects and their disciples!

I told you not to call me Dong Ryong!

No, Sasuk, he didnt.

Oh, really?

Regardless of what the other person was saying, Chung Myung couldnt hear anything. He gazed at Seol So-Baek with a sorrowful expression.

What did you all even eat and survive on?

Never mind. I shouldnt say that.

Chung Myung let out a sigh and placed the booklet on the table.

This is a list of property not for one person but for one sect.

This was no different from the state of Mount Hua upon his arrival. Actually, it was even more chaotic than Mount Hua, considering the number of people this palace had to accommodate.

Upon reflection, it was only logical. After all, what opportunities for profit exist in this barren, icy land?

In the past, they would have made money and supplied grains by trading with the Central Plains, using what the North Sea could acquire. However, even that was disrupted when trade with the Central Plains was halted, causing their finances to decline.

Kuaaak.

Everything has a price in this world.

Han Yi-Myung sighed with a bitter expression and felt the need to apologize. However, he then heard something even more absurd.

Why wont we lend it? And how much does it even cost? Of course, well just give it to you!

Han Yi-Myungs mind raced at this.

Uh?

I will just give it to you. After all, we have enough grains.

If its enough food to feed the Ice Palace for a whole year, then the quantity must be substantial

It was far from being small. The amount would be too great.

And he just wanted to give it?

Han Yi-Myungs eyes expressed his uncertainty, and Chung Myung shrugged.

You may not be aware, but I have a considerable amount of money.

Dont misunderstand. I have ulterior motives for this. The North Sea and Mount Hua are allies now. Isnt that right?

Y-yes, of course!

Tears welled up in Han Yi-Myungs eyes.

He couldnt find the words to respond, even after witnessing the poverty of the North Sea. If things continued this way, he would have to watch countless people die from starvation!

And now they were offering free nourishment to the people!

I completely misunderstood Taoist Chung Myung.

Upon reflection, Chung Myung wasnt a bad person after all.

His words and actions may have been impolite, but wasnt it the Taoist who expelled Seol Chun-Sang and bravely confronted the Demonic Sect?

Looking at his achievements, there was no one else quite like him.

Thank you, thank you so much, Taoist,

Han Yi-Myung enthusiastically jumped up and bowed deeply to him.

Ehhh! Dont act like this!

Chung Myung got up and raised Han Yi-Myung.

What is so great about this! Wouldnt it be natural for friends to help one another in times of need?

right. True Taoist.

Han Yi-Myung wiped away the tears with his sleeve.

I misunderstood such a nice person

Chung Myung smiled, placing his arm on the shoulder of Han Yi-Myung, who stood up and said,

So you know

Huh?

Were friends, right?

Of course! If the Ice Palace and Mount Hua arent friends, who will be? The friendship between the two sects will remain unchanged.

Right, right, true.

A bright smile blossomed on Chung Myungs face.

But commander.

Yes?

That shouldnt friends help each other?

Right.

But, for example, what if a friend of mine had opened a bar? How would he feel if he saw me drinking somewhere else?

you would definitely feel bad?

Right?

Y-yes. But why are you suddenly

Chung Myung smiled brightly as he brought up this topic.

Well, its not a big deal because Mount Hua has a small merchant union. While were working, we also do some shipping. Well, Im mainly focused on trade, which is going well

I thought it would hurt my heart if a man called me his friend and then traded with another. A friend. We are friends.

Han Yi-Myungs face became stiff, and his cheeks began to tremble.

T-that

Hehe. Well, isnt it nice? You said you wanted to trade. If its possible, if you trade with us, it will be beneficial for both parties. Its just annoying when others get involved and complicate things, right?

So a monopoly, then?

No, it is harsh and bleak to have that on you. I just want to trade first. We dont have to stick with a price, but wouldnt it be more comfortable this way?

Isnt it?

Is. It. Not?

The voice seemed to replay in Han Yi-Myungs mind. He hurriedly nodded and saw Chung Myungs eyes shine. A cold sweat ran down his spine.

Yes Taoist!

Hahaha! As expected of Commander Han! You speak the truth!

Chung Myung patted him on the shoulder with a wide smile.

No one can underestimate friends! I will have the food sent to you immediately.

Whats with that expression? Do you have a problem?

That haha no, Im just curious.

Yes.

So, not monopolizing, but for how long do we exclusively trade with friends

Ehh. You speak so plainly.

Chung Myung smiled broadly at the question.

Till I die.

Because friendship is eternal, as long as a life is attached to it!

If you betray, then you die. Simple as that.

This was

Han Yi-Myung considered that starving to death might actually be a better fate.
