Chapter 113 There’s No Such Thing as a Mumun

Chapter 113 There's No Such Thing as a Mumun

The staging area at the White House checkpoint was quieter than usual, with fewer people around.
A few of the Mundos come out here to warm up or sit in pairs in the shade of the trees, chatting, but the rest of the group is nowhere to be seen.
Moreover, even the top executives, such as Ip Hwan, Ko Moo-gak, and Gu Yang-chun, are nowhere to be seen.
There’s a reason for this.
This morning’s firing up told me to spend the entire morning autonomously.
It was an unexpected break for the crowd.
So here we are, free to do what we want to do, and enjoying our time off.
By this time, it was just about noon.
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding-.
Three or four laborers circled the grounds, striking the small notification bells in their hands with iron bars.
“All hands to the haze, all hands to the haze!”
“End of autonomous activity, effective this time!”
“One more reminder: Autonomous activity has ended as of this time!”
“It’s the Moon Lord’s order! Everyone, gather at the dance hall!”
Mundos that are soon afterward revealed like a swarm of ants hiding here and there and then crawling out one by one.
A few moments later, a hundred or so people gathered in front of the podium in front of the stage.
Then, when all eleven workers were gathered together, the three brothers, Ko Mugak, Ip Hwan, and Gu Yang, appeared on the other side.
Everyone’s eyes naturally turn in that direction, and you and I both shake our heads.
“Huh? What’s that?
The executives each found a bag in each hand.
Soon, the nearby troupe of cooperative dancers placed it on the stage.
Tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk
There was a brief sound of something heavy.
Everyone is wondering what’s in it.
“Is everyone here?”
Chulhuen strode into the training hall, his voice nonchalant as he carried his burden behind him.
“Yes!”
When the assembled group answered in unison, Chul Liuhyeon walked straight up to the podium.
“I don’t suppose any of you are unhappy with last night’s bathing performance?”
“Yes, my lord!”
“Okay, everyone’s cleaned up, let’s send them home.”
Ip Hwan and Kyo Moo Gak, who were standing off to the side, looked at Chul Ryu Hyeon in surprise.
“Old?”
” Your Majesty ……?”
My stomach immediately churns at the unexpected sound.
What does that mean?
Is this a shocking declaration that we’re shutting down the dream of reviving the White House checkpoint for good?
Wait, so that bath yesterday was some kind of parting gift……?
He’s such an expressionless character that you can’t feel his emotions on the outside, which makes me feel unnecessarily anxious.
“Lord of the Gate, please do not forsake us!”
“Yes! Please…… have you all been holding up well!”
“I’ve given my youth, and I’m willing to give the rest of it!”
“Well, if there’s anything we’re lacking, we’ll work harder!”
“I don’t care what anyone says, I will bury my bones at the shrine!”
“You are a golden cord, and I have already decided to grab hold of it and not let go!”
“I haven’t even gotten a chance to do any real work as a Martial Swordsman yet, and I can’t go home empty-handed like this!”
“That’s right, I will never sheathe my sword until the day I earn a worthy star!”
“Think of the unfortunate end of your lordship, the beast, if he knew of this, he would laugh at this door!”
“My lord, I beg of you, please take back those words!”
“Yes, we can’t go out in a blaze of glory like this, I thought I finally saw a little light……!”
The air in the hall shuddered as the Mundos’ desperate pleas exploded in unison.
The ironclad is actually a nuisance, and I’m flicking both ears.
“Shut up. Shut up.”
They just react bluntly.
At the same time, a noisy space becomes quiet.
“……!”
The group looked toward the podium in disbelief and resentment.
Then the Iron Stream repeatedly spoke with indifference.
“And by that, I mean literally just send them home.”
Transparent wiggly pupils.
“……!”
It took a while for the rest of the team to catch on.
Co-Mu asked, his face brightening a bit.
“Ah, Mr. Moon, so you mean…… for the time being?”
Chulhuen shook his head and continued.
“Think of it as a reward vacation.”
And everyone’s faces softened and they breathed a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, Gyeomukguk and Ip-Hwan silently exchanged glances, a faint smile playing on their lips.
You can probably guess why I ordered the executive team to prepare those bags earlier.
Chulhuen glanced back at the mundos standing at the front of the dais.
One hundred and ten to be exact, not counting the officers and laborers.
He is one of the few people who, despite knowing and experiencing the difficulties of the monk’s situation, has remained faithful to the end, believing in and following his master.
The ordeal had naturally filtered the jade stone.
Regardless of their qualities or talents, they are valuable members who have devoted their bodies and minds to the White House, and are hard to find again.
One.
It would be absurd to continue to do so without consequences.
The development of the martial arts of the people of the court should be the primary responsibility of the master, and furthermore, the master should take into account the practical concerns of each person.
So it’s time to reward them with something no other force in the world can do so easily.
When Gongyun was a master, he could barely afford to pay for his living expenses, but that was no longer the case.
“Forget about living like beggars, everyone should get a taste of what gold feels like.”
With those words, Chul Ryu-Heon jerked his chin toward the cadre of executives flanking the podium.
“Vacation Pay.”
Ip Hwan, Gao Mugake, Gu Yangtian, and others quickly unpacked a few bags.
Chunky saltbags that seem to be set up for the number of people.
Chul Ryu-hyeon chimes in with a short comment, his face expressionless.
“Take all you want. Five hundred silver pieces per head.”
The faces of the Mundos turned pale when they heard that.
Bah! Ba, did you just…… what? Eunja five hundred niang?
“Crazy!
We were stunned, and for a moment, our heads were spinning.
I wonder if I’m dreaming.
Five hundred silver coins, that’s a lot of money.
With that kind of money, you could buy a house, buy a carriage, buy anything you wanted.
If you don’t do anything stupid, you won’t have to worry about money until you’re old and retired.
He smiled and waved at me.
“Okay, everyone, get in line.”
The martial artists gathered themselves and moved to the side of the dais to form a few rows.
“Thank you!”
“Thank you from the bottom of my heart!”
The group shouted with joy as they accepted each salt sack, one by one.
And then the payout is over.
The Mundos, once again in full formation, each examined their salt sacs, each with a look of excitement on their faces.
“Dream or waking, come…….”
“I can already see my parents’ faces when they see this.”
“After…… I’ve never touched so much money in my life, my heart is racing.”
“My only brother, now I can stop working the fields and study in peace.”
“I’m going to start redecorating my mom’s house right now.”
“Honey…… just wait a minute. I’ll be right there. Your troubles are over.”
“Good for you for holding on to that black…….”
In the midst of all this, the voice of an iron currents reaches your ears.
“Are you satisfied?”
“Yes!”
“Like I said, it’s just vacation pay, and the money you guys get at the beginning of the month will be different going forward.”
“……!”
A shiver of excitement ran down the Chapter’s spine.
That just means that the five hundred silver coins will be a one-time bonus every other day, and the regular monthly fee will be increased.
“Since you’ve mastered sword wind and sword qi in ten days, I’ll give you that much. You’re paying for it anyway.”
After saying that, Chul Ryu-Heon turned to his executives and ordered them to unpack the remaining bags.
The Mundos’ eyes widened as they realized what was inside.
The berries look like tiny beads of wall color.
It was a decoction of more than a hundred wallflower fruits that was said to cure almost any illness if drunk consistently for four days.
“Your health is as important as your money. Take it home and give it to someone who is sick. If you don’t have a patient, you can sell it.”
Everyone was told to take care of themselves.
The Mundos were stunned again.
“Oh my God, even Wallowa……!
The value of a single wallowa is equivalent to the cost of a vacation.
Everyone’s heads were spinning.
It wasn’t a rainbow, it was a rain of money.
That’s when Chullehorn released his grip on his back pack and spoke again.
“Keep your money, but don’t let anyone else take it from you, and if they do…….”
In a moment when everyone stood at attention, slightly nervous.
“Don’t look away, but tell me, do you understand?”
The Mundos all looked surprised.
“Eh?
I was expecting to hear something along the lines of, “If you’re stupid and take money from me, I’ll kick your ass……”.
“You’re fooling yourself. Remember, a man who leaves a strong door unlocked isn’t nice, he’s stupid, just like me before I changed.”
“Yes, I’ll keep that in mind!”
“Shoulders up. I’ll do all the heavy lifting. All you have to think about is the advancement of nothingness. I’m giving it to you.”
Mundo clenched his fists and repeatedly roared in response to Chuliu Hsin’s cool words.
“Yes, my lord!”
“The vacation period is seven days. In it, do everything you can, want to, and need to do, and empty your mind of anything that might weigh you down. That’s it, dismissed.”
At the same time, the mundos cheered and moved to pack up immediately.
With a light wave of his hand, Chu Liuhui beckoned Han Mundo closer.
He was an innocent, good-looking young man.
Unbi Kwak.
At 20 years old, Mundo is the same age as Chul Ryuhun.
“Mr. Moon, did you call for me?”
“Are you going straight home?”
“Oh, yeah, I haven’t seen my mom in a while because of the distance. Honestly…… there’s no one else I’d rather see.”
“I hear you were the first to successfully unleash the sword qi.”
“Yes, I’m embarrassed to say…… that’s right, I got lucky.”
There’s one reason why Chul Ryu-Heon specifically called Kwak Un-Bi.
He has something in store for him as he departs for home, something that was prepared for him earlier in the day through the Hong Mausoleum.
Before he became a vegetable, Chu Liuhui always had a special place in his heart for Guo Yunbi, the youngest of the Mundo.
Because he understood the pain of life.
Unbi Kwok’s family had only one mother.
One.
His mother, a widowed woman, was born deaf and unable to speak, and the family’s financial situation remained difficult.
To make matters worse, Kwok was often teased and bullied from a young age because of this environment.
Eventually, her mother scraped together enough money for her only child to send him to Mundo, a junior at the White Gate.
Please learn martial arts and get stronger, don’t worry about money, this mother will take care of you while you’re there.
Kwok gritted his teeth and continued practicing, eventually earning his senior martial arts license.
Since then, I’ve been saving every penny I can and sending it home.
I wanted to help my mom make ends meet.
He was so impressed by her attitude that he made a small wish.
In the future, when I’m in a better financial position, I’ll take care of Guo Yunbi, who is the poorest in the whole family, and I’ll definitely fulfill at least one thing he wants…….
Yes.
It’s about time.
Though now it was a martial sword, not an iron streamer.
“I’ll give you a separate award.”
“Yes?”
“When you go home, tell your mother. I’ve found a new home for you in the white cottage near this gate. You will see her often now.”
“……!”
“I’ve already paid for the house, Hong Miao Top has taken care of the rest, I just need to move in.”
” What …… Your Majesty …….”
Guo Yunbi’s heart was overwhelmed by this unexpected gesture, and tears welled up in her eyes.
However, there is no glimmer of emotion on Chulhyeon’s face.
“Whatever you do, don’t live with it, because it’s bad enough that you’ve been crushed.”
At this point, Kwunbi burst into tears.
“Great…… absorbed…… mu, master…… really…… thank you. This…… this grace…… will not be forgotten…… until I die.”
But still, Cheolleukhyeon didn’t respond, only tossing out a bland voice.
“Go ahead. I’m busy.”
