Self Taught Artist, I’m in plethora of fandoms, but this is going to be for ROTMHS! Mostly going to just be yapping here tho, interested in my art; Here is my linktree to other platforms: https://linktr.ee/SkyboundSunbird

[skyboundsunbird]

I’m sure Chung Myung has lots to say to his Bo-ya when they meet again.

This might be my last full drawn piece in a while since my senior year will start in a week, but enjoy this while I struggle with school also have this!:

[skyboundsunbird]

NEW ROTMHS AU IDEA—Blind Chung Myung AU

Okay now…hear me out. There is two ways this can go, I’ve been cooking this for a while in my head and I finally need to get out of my system.

So this first one is for my TangChung enjoyers who are starved (me too)

Okay so first way this can go is, during the war against Cheon Ma, Chung Myung becomes blind when one of the Demons is able to target his eyes and SOMEHOW manages to injure his eyes. Tang Bo is there to help him get steady and then flee despite Chung Myung’s protest that he was fine—!

Tang Bo obviously ignores this and gets far as possible and hides away nearby with an angry Chung Myung in his arms. He’s terrified when he turns to look at Chung Myung’s face because, it’s so bloody, marked with claws that so clearly wanted to do more that just claw at Chung Myung’s face, those claws wanted to crush his head. Tang Bo tries his best to salvage the situation but what was he supposed to do?, Tang Bo cleaned and bandaged Chung Myung’s face, who had gone silent, just hissing and grunting when Tang Bo poured alcohol on his open wounds. The unspoken reality that was rapidly becoming a scary truth weighted heavily on the two inside the cave they cowered in. Despite being one of the best doctors in his Tang Family, some things weren’t just salvageable, not when he was running dry on medicinal ointments. They were far from Sichuan too—matter of fact they were far from the Central Plains surrounded large mountains and hills. Chung Myung had fallen asleep after the hasty treatment Tang Bo had given him, Tang Bo decided it was best if he watched over him and monitored his injuries.

—later on

Chung Myung wakes up to pure darkness. He could hear Tang Bo shuffling about across the place they were in. He knew Tang Bo’s footsteps the best after all. He squinted his eyes open but he still couldn’t see. Assuming he had bandages on his face his hands reached to touch his face but Tang Bo immediately grabbed his wrist, “what are you doing?? Don’t touch your face I was changing the bandages! You might infect yourself with your filthy hands!” Chung Myung stopped, he blinked, squinted his eyes…still nothing. “Bo-ya, are my eyes open?” “Yes, Hyung they are—“ Silence. It was a deafening silence. On the rain that had begun to pour was comfort to Chung Myung. “Hyung…Can you..not see me?” Shaking his head Chung Myung frowned “…No.” Chung Myung could feel Tang Bo go stiff, his grip on his wrist tightened and Chung Myung couldn’t care less because he had something far worst to worry about.

AND SO ON, maybe a little more canon compliant but this is my first idea. Basically just Healing TangChung right here.

SECOND IDEAAA—Chung Myung gets accidentally reincarnated into a blind child. Again still a beggar child…just more kind of more pitied than in canon; I don’t really have a story for this one HOWEVER I do have some pretty good headcanons :D;

- Nobody in Mount Hua realized that Chung Myung was blind at first. Everyone just kind of assumed his slight clumsiness was normal. (Within the month that it took him to reach Shanxxi he had managed to learn how to use Qi to see his surroundings as “echoes” of his surroundings)

- (idk how they find out about his blindness, I’m still cooking up an idea for that) Only Mount Hua and alliance knows about Chung Myung being blind.

- Chung Myung instinctively touches the faces of the 5 swords as a subtle way of imagining their faces—his excuse? Well he has to make sure who is the best looking so he can put them as the face of Mount Hua! That’s the only reason of course.

- Chung Myung KNOWS everyone’s footsteps, anyone he doesn’t recognize he immediately becomes wary.

Thank you Studio Arche 🤡🤡

We needed some April fools stuff XD

I really thought it was a collaboration with Crayon Shin-chan 🤡

[morickkk]

Business partners who happens to scam people in the server in a heart related series where one is completely bloodlusted and the other is also bloodlusted but kind of afraid of what the other might do LMAO

[skyboundsunbird]

No my usual, but THESE LOVELIES I love them they deserve the world (I NEED MORE FICS IM SO STARVED)

[pausanonsense]

I need desesperately a fic where Jang Ilso and Tang Bo exists simultaneously, i want someone else's take on them interacting and the difference that would make in Cheongmyeong and Jang Ilso's interactions because i'm going insane thinking about it

I feel like... Jang Ilso, first, would have a fascination for Tang Bo as he's has with Cheongmyeong, but more due his insatiable greed than for actually wanting to interact with him. I mean- in the same way at first was said that Cheongmyeong would cry for Ho Gamyeong's cooperation due to his efficency and uselfulness, Tang Bo would be seen as a sharp flexible mind that can keep up with Cheongmyeong's insanity and hyper senses, so Jang Ilso would be easier to follow and even complement and he would notice that

However, i think that much of Cheongmyeong's patience and interest in Jang Ilso after the ending of the truce are due some sense of kinship that he projects on Jang Ilso because he's alone and sees himself in him, i already talked about it in another post, summarized: Cheongmyeong makes himself softer, kinder and weaker to evade the loneliness and admit more people into his narrative, this life he gets to understand the importance of having others, but none of them are an equal, so- Jang Ilso being the closest to the monster he was makes him want to keep (maybe even educate) Jang Ilso in a way (spoiler: it does not work)

But... With Tang Bo in the mix?? Cheongmyeong would have a different character development! He would not feel as desesperate about everything with someone close to his level covering his back and also being a emotional support, that's something he struggles with after that horrifying Hainan Arc. There would be someone validating his experience and the memories he has of the past, also as it seems in the flashbacks, Tang Bo never was a counterweight in Cheongmyeong's course of action xD he was the reinforcement KJASHBDVGHAS So i think he would have some way to parallel Cheongmyeong in the Tang Clan (i don't think so in strategy, but certainly in growth at least) and since he had his own plans, he would also pull and be pulled into Cheongmyeong's goals

I think they would be heavily codependent, but that's ok because i ship them(?) it wouldn't be noticeable anyway because their priorities are (physically) far apart and they trust each other enough to of turn their backs and know that they will meet again somewhere along the way or ask for help if needed

So Cheongmyeong seeing Jang Ilso at first may be the same, maybe more bold, but in the long run he would be more exasperated than in canon and would be more brutal to him. I think Jang Ilso would be delighted as usual, but the sense of danger would be also more uncomfortable for him, because there would be this wall Cheongmyeong had in the past separating him from other people because he has enough closeness with his martial family, friends and allies, he's satiated with it, Jang Ilso this time doesn't have a place

So he's wild, kind of fun, Cheongmyeong likes that he isn't all bark no bite and uses him until things start to get out of hand, probably around the moment the Namgung Family enters the narrative. Depending of the moment in which Tang Bo arrives the plot, maybe they even make a trio fighting against that young bishop and Cheongmyeong can take some delight in the dynamic, but doesn't get as attached as in canon

But even more, and this is a headcanon of mine: i think Tang Bo would fucking hate Jang Ilso LJDFGVKHASJ

Not because of him being evil, i do think between Tang Bo and Cheongmyeong, is the latter who has the more gray morality but Tang Bo doesn't think either in a conventional way and would also appreciate the usefulness of the big schemes, but because Tang Bo being a Tang (not a taoist), he's more resentful and possessive. I like to think he would want to have Hwasan itself bringing down Gupailbang, feels Jang Ilso's intention of using Cheongmyeong and "tame him" and he would not like that at all because Jang Ilso is hard to predict and even if Cheongmyeong can defend himself, he knows better how hard is to want to protect everyone behind his back (as he wanted to help his family that burned in the past, how Cheongmyeong alone isn't enough and probably Cheongmyeong himself told him how much time needs, thing Jang Ilso is cutting short)

So it would be so fun xD like...

Jang Ilso: Let me be your third

Cheongmyeong: What...?

Tang Bo: I'm still dead and this is actual hell -gags-

Jang Ilso, watching them being terrifying in the battlefield: Wouldn't you be happier being with me sapa?

Cheongmyeong, bathed in blood: You disgusts me and i will kill you

Tang Bo: That one needs to be obliterated -changes target-

[toffee-arts]

Tang Bo more like Tang BEAU amirite 😏💚

[pausanonsense]

I really really like to think that while Cheongmyeong became a better person reincarnating, more caring and capable of empathy, of expressing love and be hardworking, if Tang Bo got to reincarnate... he becames worse(?

Was he cold and detached? Well, now he's plain cruel, forget of even polite or sarcastic smiles, he now directly spits to faces he dislikes and doesn't even care about considering anyone's motives, he doesn't want to get attached again

But he can't help but be the same as always to Cheongmyeong tho, he saw him cry over his dying body and remembers the absolute trust they shared

He would have an easier time if Cheongmyeong wasn't here so Tang Bo could take revenge and then go away as far as he could if he was alone in this future were nobody who he cares about is here- maybe protect his family from the shadows, but after a couple of years, without seeing the Tangs getting better and without more attachement, he would eventually lose motivation and go to search for the remains of Cheong Jin, Mun and Myeong since they were his friends

However, Cheongmyeong is there and he can't leave him alone, especially since Cheongmyeong would be soooo emotional about it, crying and screaming in rage about Tang Bo leaving him alone, about being weak and having so many regrets. Tang Bo wouldn't be able to leave, wouldn't even want to, even before knowing his dying wish was granted, he stays like a loyal shadow, a dragon like Cheongmyeong but different, protective and dangerous

But he gets to be so evil about it xDDD He would be all possessive of Cheongmyeong and take every offense to him personal, he would try to intimidate the chicks without violence (since Cheongmyeong cares about them) but i want him to eventually also care a little completely against his will, he has a easier time being alone than Cheongmyeong tho, so they wouldn't be friends, just know when to trust eachother and bond over how they all care about Cheongmyeong

He would be really happy about the change within the Tang Clan but sometimes also say poisonously how the elders are so useless that they would not only lose the martial arts that would give them real power, but also the talents of their women (like Soso and others forbidden from the family arts) and how is clear for him that the clan is doomed or something, just to make them feel at crisis(? But he actually likes Tang Gunak a little when he gets to know him

Even when at the end gets tamed(? again (like a domesticated fox whose nature resurfaces when left in the woods too long) and starts to be actually nice to the Tang Clan again and Hwasan in general, he's still more vindicative and indifferent, holding onto all the grudges and revenge Cheongmyeong loses sight of in his frantic race against the Heavenly Demon

I feel like it would be a really fun idea of him pretending to let Hye Yeon die or something in front of the abbot to scare him because Hye Yeon trusts Tang Bo (as a doctor and a fighter) and mocking the abbot about it, full on actually stabbing Zhongnan and Wudang elders, poisoning Ho Gamyeong with something not lethal but anyway disabling making him useless every time Jang Ilso gets too close for his taste

If Cheongmyeong fighting style is to attack the confidence of his opponent, to break their pride and heads, Tang Bo aims to psychologically terrorize his opponents and maim, only Cheongmyeong can stop him (sometimes Baek Cheon can delay him a little because he reminds him of Cheong Jin, another drinking buddy that Cheongmyeong cared about and got to be Tang Bo's friend, not always tho)

Merlin is turned back in time, only to get stuck in a time loop.

And Merlin relishes in it.

The same day, over and over and over and Arthur is simply alive. It's a mundane day, only one assassin to kill.

Merlin's only fears are that he forgets to kill the assassin once and that this might lead to the time loop stopping.

...

What he doesn't know is that eventually, many hundred loops later, Arthur wakes up in the time loop and knows- I've done this day before. Is it like this for someone else too?

But the only one different than yesterday is Merlin. And he's a million loops different from before.

Arthur grows sick of the time loop quickly... but is he imagining it, or is it the first time in years that Merlin looks...

happy

#id love to see a fic like this

[maehwajagga]

Arithmetic with Cheong Myeong

Baek Cheon: You have 5 bottles of liquor. Paegun wants to have 2. How many bottles do you have left?

Cheong Myeong: Five bottles and a dead body

[pausanonsense]

I find soooo funny how much Cheongmyeong refers to others as "cubs" and "kids" and "cute", is really something an old person would do, but also I can't help imagine that he was an alpha in his first life and is reborn as an omega and can't help but to see the ones he perceives as "little" all the time, has an easier time noticing physical changes and moods and is "why I didn't see it before??" meanwhile has his hand over his nose unknowingly sniffing where he punched touched his children and using the new emotional intuition he doesn't know he has to evaluate them

He was a good alpha, too honed for war and too genius to be comprehended, but genuinely protective and territorial over his people. As an omega he has new instincts that doesn't bother to comprehend because it isn't like that can change his (completely developed in other body) mind, but that pulls him to make new emotional bonds and be (his version of) lenient to his new people. If he was reborn as an alfa, he wouldn't be able to stand the obsession with what he lost and would have an infinitely more difficult time bonding with the children

I love omegaverse for him, a new layer of his indignation about the disrespect(?) he has to live now, he was the Plum Blossom Sword Saint, elder of the Great Mount Hua Sect, an alfa tall, strong and feared and now everyone sees a little young omega sajae of this almost ruined sect nobody knows, please help him

[gbaozh]

i drew Cheongmyeong from Return of the Blossoming Blade 🌺

[skyboundsunbird]

Ahhh look at himmm <33

[skyboundsunbird]

Today’s a very special day, why?

because it’s the BIRTHDAY OF THE BESTTEST BOY; CHEONG MYEONG!!!

I love love my bby, he deserves the world and so much more

[skyboundsunbird]

Ahh…I am so full of ideas yet NO motivation/skills to support me…here you go writers and please help this Tangcheong starved soul out. (I fear I can only draw lmfao)

Yet another

TangCheong AU — Royals

Sound fun, don’t it? NOW HERE’s MY IDEA OF THIS.

(Before you start here is a note; Most of it will be based on canon but some of it will be tweaked a little to fit the narrative, there will be Qi and sword art (like the Plum Blossom Technique— it’s taught to the Royal family, AND to everyone who works inside the castle and the Tang Family’s Techniques and so.) and with that being said, here is the fic)

Basic Premise;

Starts small, with a child (like 14 yrs old) Cheong Myeong exploring the royal gardens of the Tang Family’s Manor. He didn’t really enjoy the loud music and bright lights of balls like his father, Jangmun In, seemed to enjoy. So instead Cheong Myeong slipped away from the grasp of his brother, Cheong Jin, and snuck his way into the garden with the full moon to light his path. Cheong Myeong looked with awe at the plethora of beautiful flowers and plants that were planted on fancy flowerbeds. He reached to touch a purple leaf from a peculiar plant, but his hand was snatched away.,

“Don’t touch that! It’s poisonous.”

Cheong Myeong looked at the boy with surprise as he pulled his hand away, the other kid seemed far more younger than he himself was, maybe 3 years younger? His voice was bold and childish.

“Who are you.”

“I am Tang Bo, I’m part of the Tang family, my uncle is the Archduke. What about you?”

“I am Cheong Myeong from the Clastle of Hwasan, I’m the youngest son of my King.”

“Oh— Your Highness, I apologize I didn’t recognize you—“

“Ah— Don’t call me that, It’s too fancy I don’t like it.”

“…hm…then say,,How old are you?”

“I am 14, why?”

Tang Bo’s face lights up and he grins as he says

“Then can I call you Hyung instead?”

Cheong Myeong frowns at the kid in front of him, who was practically a stranger to him. Cheong Myeong doesn’t answer and instead opts to ask Tang Bo for fun ways to pass the time. Tang Bo takes his silent answer as a yes and starts calling Hyung and shows Cheong Myeong around. The two of them fooling around with no one to supervise them.

That night, Tang Bo and Cheong Myeong became great friends. Only to never be able to see each other again after that night.

—SUPER huge time skip of like 15 years—

(So Tang Bo now has 26 and Cheong Myeong has 29)

(MAYBE— just maybe, there can be a slight scene of the war and Cheong Myeong passing out)

After the war against the Demonic Empire, the Castle of Hwasan, tucked deep within the steep cliffs and mountains of Mount Hua had significant more loss than any of the other Kingdoms that fought alongside Hwasan. Fortunately the King survived with almost fatal injuries(I don’t have the heart to kill him off..) and only two of his sons survived (Sorry Cheong Jin, I need someone to cause Cheong Myeong a bit of suffering and guilt :(, also Hyun Jong is now the ‘Heir’ to the throne bc I know for a fact CM wouldn’t really be fit to be a King lmfao)…Cheong Myeong survived but one of his arms were severed off, and Hyun Jong only had a large scar on his back. Cheong Myeong had to relearn how to do everything with his remaining hand while he recovered. After several months of recovering, Jangmun In summoned Cheong Myeong to his office. And talked to him about how the city had finally finished rebuilding and to celebrate the Kingdoms victory the people were holding a festival. It would be best if they showed their face to show that they were fine…and to Honor Cheong Jin’s death and declare Hyun Jong as the new one. After the festival in the city they will hold a ball inviting all the other royal families that participated.

“Remain in your best behavior and don’t run away like always.”

Cheong Myeong didn’t plan on it and nodded, he left the office and strolled around the castle deep in thought. He wandered to the training grounds and picked his newly branded sword. He blamed himself for not being strong enough, for not being fast enough, for not being enough to stop Cheong Jin’s death. Wasn’t it practically his own fault? He needed to become stronger. With his only arm he began to practice his sword.

—The days can pass until the ball arrive—

Tang Bo and Cheong Myeong meet once again (Tang Bo has an eye missing now)

Ummm do a bit more plot and stuff and then; HAPPY TANGCHEONG YIPPIEE

Also the five swords and the rivalry Cheong Myeong has with other sects (or more accurately royal families) and stuff, and in this, I might flesh it out more in another post

And so on and so on, I’m kinda lazy to elaborate on this BUT YEAH. That’s my idea, I might draw some of it because I really, like really love this AU, and I need it written 💔💔

[skyboundsunbird]

Maybe it's just a hopeless dream, but it's a dream he's not willing to let go just yet.

—I had the BRIGHT idea of not drawing Tang Bo's face to signify Cheong Myeong slowly forgetting Tang Bo's face. He may live on in CM's heart along with his Sahyung and sajaes, but that doesn't mean Tang Bo's face and voice will remain eternally ingrained in CM's memory. I don't think Cheongmyeong is ever capable of forgetting him but inevitably his mind will begin to forget...

This took like…14 hrs? Mostly bc I kept changing the poses😭

[tama-journey-to-inspiration]

That scene from journey to the west: conquering demons (2013) that @chuliann told me to draw as Tangchung.

I had so much fun drawing wukong! While Bō sleeves are as stressful as always. But definitely, Chung Myung's expressions were by far the easiest part. Hehe

Edit: now I notice that a forget the sleeve in one panel. *sigh* why am I like this?

[skyboundsunbird]

Tangcheong Reincarnated Soulmates AU —

If someone wants to take this idea and write it plz tag me or send me the link 🥹

Okay so I know that many have done this kind of AU where they are soulbound with marks that connect them. BUT I’ve got something of a little Idea. Ofc you guys can twist some parts to your liking I would just LOVE to read this concept

🥲🫶🏼

Cheongmyeong—

So Cheongmyeong is reincarnated like normal, right. But oddly enough, even though he was in a different body he still had his soulmate mark. He supposed that even dead they were still soulmates and nothing could change that. And Cheongmyeong found comfort in the mark.

Tang Bo —

Okay so here comes the slight twist. Tang Bo will have a slight fail in his reincarnation. He won’t remember ANYTHING having to do with Cheongmyeong. Not even Mount Hua. he is reincarnated with a mark too, but that mark is all smeared so he can’t really tell what it is. So instead he just focuses on his family.

The story would advance in this way; CM goes to the Tang family w his lil crew. He sees Tang Bo and immediately recognizes him. CM ever so casually makes his way to Tang Bo to confirm whether it is truly him or just an uncanny look alike. But Tang Bo —Not being able to recognize him—is confused and quite frankly very concerned, because why is this boy so near him, and whispering the Tang Family’s secrets so casually to him?!? How does he know so much about the family?? CM realizes Tang Bo doesn’t recognize him (He begins to doubt whether this was truly Tang Bo too and not just a look alike.) and steps away. Then things go in the same canon way with CM hovering slightly above Tang Bo who is completely petrified on why this man was observing him half of the time?! All the way to the point where CM spars with the Tang Lord. CM gets injured and Tang Bo has the urge to not let CM fall to the floor, he doesn’t know why but he refuses to let him touch the floor. Tang Bo reaches CM and carries him to the medicine hall (with CM’s little ducklings following behind) and from then on you can do anything; just that Tang Bo starts hanging out with CM and slowly starts regaining his memories of the past CM.

Small Notes:

- If you’d like you could add an element of shared pain bc of their reincarnation. Call it Qi Resonance. If you’d want a reason for this; When CM was infusing Qi into Tang Bo when he was dying this somehow transferred into their next lives.

- The mark can be small like the max size of a racket

Anyways the rest if up to you the writers, I just desperately need a fic that’s like this. Yk? I love angst someone please save me and write this, idc if it’s a 1 shot or just a bunch of chapters, I NEED THIS😭🙏🏼

Crazy this is my first post kmfoa.

[bananaguyboi]

[[ SNEAK PEEK ]]

Reward for making yall wait for an entire month. and uh, didn't post much because yeah- got to too lazy lmao-

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hm? Ah-Pyung?" Chung Myung spoke.

The disciples immediately stared at Chung Myung.

'Ah-Pyung..???'

'He's calling an old man a kid...'

'This crazy bastard! Is that how you refer to the Great Elder of the Tang Family!?!??'

'Someone hit his head before the Great Elder gets angry!'

The Heavenly Comrade Alliance's disciples inwardly cursed at Chung Myung's casual statement, but to their surprise, instead of being bothered (like most of the people Chung Myung met), He was rather happy.

"Ah! Elder-nim!" Tang Jopyeong opened his mouth with twinkling eyes.

The disciples' mouths gape loosely as they looked at Chung Myung with a questioning gaze, then quickly stared at the Mount Hua's Five swords, and the monk.

A cold sweat formed from their head.

"Ah.... We forgot about him pretending to be the Plum Blossom Sword Saint...." Baek Cheon whispered.

Hye Yeon, and the Mount Hua swords nodded with tears in their eyes.

The disciples gazed emptily at Chung Myung.

'Is this surprising at this point? Aiggoooo... He's pretending to be an ancestor..'

And, seeing Tang jopyeong happy at the punk made it even worse for them. It's best for anyone to not see it.

Tang Jopyeong bowed. "I apologize if we visited without any prior notice....."

"Enough with the apology" Chung Myung interrupted, and waved his hand. "What brings you here?" 

Augh—

Tang Jopyeong smiled, "I have news regarding grandfather."

Chung Myung tilted his head. “What are you..—”

Chung Myung soon paused his words as he caught a glimpse of someone.

His head suddenly shifted to another direction with his eyes widening, and rapidly shaking.

The disciples tilted their heads, and looked in the direction where Chung Myung's eyes were fixated.

Everyone's face contorted as they saw a young man in a green robe being carried to the training hall.

It was weird that the person who was carrying the young man was a Tang member himself judging by the expensive attire, but what was even weirder is that it seemed like his soul was sucked out of his body...

The young man that was being lifted was graciously dropped down to the ground, brimming with elegance, and sophistication.

Everyone stared, and inspected the young man's appearance.

As expected of the Tang Family; He was wearing the familiar luxurious dark green robes with his hands hidden inside the billowing green sleeves.

Half of his hazel-nut hair was tied in a messy bun, like he had sluggishly bundled the hair- Although a blemish rarely seen in the family, he somehow still looked flawless.

However, his clothes weren't what caught their attention. It was Baek Ah, who was on the young man’s shoulder.

“Kkiiiiiiiiiiii !” Baek Ah screeched, proudly raising its head as if they had done something to be praised. 

The disciples blankly stared, confused. What is that marten doing there..?

Baek Ah soon jumped to the floor, and crawled its way to Chung Myung.

As Baek Ah climbed, the marten nuzzled Chung Myung’s neck. Chung Myung didn’t reciprocate, He was still focused on the young man, and was standing still as a statue.

The young man’s eye glared at Baek Ah. The marten lets out a tongue as if they were mocking the young man.

The disciples watching the scene were confused, however they quickly got distracted as they looked at the young man’s serene eyes.

His iris burnished with the intense emerald-hue, with a grace of a slightly chartreuse color, radiating with light like it's lucent. Everyone was astonished by the sight of this young man.

Truthfully, he was on par with Baek Cheon in terms of beauty, but it's not to the point where they would hold their breath, and gawk at him for being pretty.

Like Chung Myung was.

Eh?

Hold on.

Was that right?

They darted their gaze away from the young man, and looked back at Chung Myung, who had a terrified, hardened face.

No matter how they look at it, that face is not someone openly admiring a person's appearance.. More than anything, it seems like he had seen a ghost.

He looked terrified almost. A baffled face that Chung Myung would never make unless he lost his precious green ribbon.

Tang Zhan could somehow understand his feelings. He, too, is surprised by Tang bo’s sudden appearance.

"Grandfather, why don't you introduce yourself to the Plum Blossom Saint?" Tang Jopyeong smiled.

The young man in green robes coughed, and bowed his head

"Tang Bo of the Tang Family greets the Mount Hua Chivalrous sword" He loudly announced, with a slight tremble in his voice.

Chung Myung didn’t respond, and remained silent.

Everyone coughed, and awkwardly glanced at each other waiting for the silence to break.

However, Chung Myung only stared at Tang Bo, not saying a word.

The disciples tried to speak to smoothen the atmosphere, but soon failed as they felt like they were in no position to do so.

They locked eyes at the Tang members that were with Tang Jopyeong, but even they were bewildered by the strange atmosphere.

Everyone was in a panic except for one person.

"I'm sure you're surprised, elder-nim" Tang jopyeong stated "But please, don't let grandfather wait."

"...Haha.." Chung Myung lets out an empty laugh.

The man named Tang Bo slowly raised his head, and stared back at Chung Myung. 

It made the already weird atmosphere even stranger.

Tang Bo tried to open his mouth, but paused, and thought for a moment. Then he slowly let out a voice.

"..Hyung-nim…?"

...

......

...

..Uh..

Chung Myung started approaching Tang Bo. Every step felt so heavy.

Everyone held their breath, and silently observed Chung Myung, whose face cannot be deciphered.

‘!?’

Suddenly, Chung Myung jumped tang bo, and hugged him.

Tang Bo held his arms as he tried to catch Chung Myung, but fell down at the sudden weight.

Thud!

Chung Myung hugged him tightly, his whole body trembled as he buried his head against Tang Bo's arms.

Tang Bo stopped his movements, and blinked at him.

It was unexpected to see Chung Myung in complete distress.

But then again, he died right in front of him, so he guessed that it's an understandable reaction.

Tang Bo smiled for a moment, and gently hugged him back.

It was a beautiful scene of two old friends finally reuniting once again after the hell of war, and death.

However.

There was one thing that the two old men forgot.

The whole alliance was watching them, mouth opened, perplexed expressions, their hands wiping their eyes as they continued to observe the two young men hugging, and shedding tears.

Everyone in the alliance locked eyes with each other.

Are we seeing this correctly???

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
