Chapter: 1326
�You�re welcome, senior brother.�
The young monk, Bo-kyeong, had an embarrassed expression.
Bo-kyeong is a second-generation disciple of the Shaolin Temple.
The middle-aged monk looking at him was Seong-un, a first-generation disciple.
He was a third among the first-generation disciples, specifically after Seongmu and Seonghwan. Him being the next elder is also certain.
Seong-un had a gentle and reasonable personality, so he was respected by both the second and third-generation disciples. Furthermore, the elders especially trusted him.
Seong-un�s expression as he looked at Runan was extremely heavy.
It was because of the unusual atmosphere hovering around Runan.
The Jin family and the Snow Sword Manor were recruiting warriors every day, and as a result, there was a gloomy mood hanging over Runan.
Furthermore, there was a clash between warriors who were on opposite sides. If left unattended, the entire Henan Province could be swept up in a fight between the two forces.
Since it could be the beginning of another great war, the Shaolin Temple sent Seong-un to serve as mediator between the two sides.
Sending Seong-un is enough proof that the Shaolin Temple is taking the situation in Runan very seriously.
Seong-un�s heart was heavy because he was tasked with a heavy mission.
He could have brought with him the elites of the Shaolin Temple, but he only brought Bo-kyeong so as to not hurt the pride of both sides.
Bo-kyeong has outstanding martial arts and a bright personality among the second-generation disciples.
He also had the experience of going out of the Shaolin Temple with Un-il not too long ago. Together with Un-il, they escorted the original Buddhist scriptures which brought great delight to the Shaolin Temple.
What made the Shaolin Temple elders even more excited was when Wu Jang-rak, the one responsible for bringing the Buddhist scriptures, said that there were many more original copies of the Buddhist scriptures left in Chengdu, and that he would bring them again on another time.�
No matter how much the Shaolin Temple trains in martial arts, their foundation was still Buddhism.
The original Buddhist scriptures were treasures that protected the identity of Shaolin Temple.
Through that recent series of events, Bo-kyeong earned the trust of the sect leader. That�s why Seung-un allowed Bo-kyeong to accompany him on this mission.
Bo-kyeong asked carefully,
�Senior brother, where will we stop by first?�
�For now, I plan to stop by the Snow Sword Manor.�
�Will they accept the mediation plan of our sect?�
�I�m worried about that, too.�
A shadow fell on Seong-un�s face.
Since the Shaolin Temple is said to be the leader of Henan Jianghu, they cannot recklessly get involved in the fight between the two forces. If they do, then it would be like providing a justification for the beginning of a world war.�
It was necessary for them to make a reasonable proposal that both sides could accept. Only then could the damage be reduced to a minimum and Henan Jianghu be stabilized.
But it�s easier said than done.�
With the two forces antagonistic feelings against each other, it was questionable whether they would listen to Seong-un. Nonetheless, Seong-un had no choice but to try his best since he was ordered by the sect leader.� JrNovels.com
