I Became a Supporting Character in a Martial Arts Novel (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 39
Come to think of it, I vaguely recalled hearing it once, just in passing. The Sect Leader carefully refolded the letter and continued speaking.
“The Seongchang Merchant Guild is located within this province of Shaanxi—specifically in Luonan County of Shangluo City. As you well know, that area lies right beneath the Jinling Mountains and is famous for its fertile land ideal for cultivating medicinal herbs. Because the guild frequently interacts with exceptionally skilled herbalists, they can readily supply a wide variety of high-quality herbs. Geographically, it’s also quite close to both Zhongnan and Wudang….”
Close, yet…?
“The current Clan Head’s grandfather was once an inner sect disciple of Mount Hua before descending the mountain.”
“Oh.”
“He would thus be my martial uncle. Because of this connection, the guild has maintained trade exclusively with Mount Hua among all sects until now.”
So their loyalty has endured for three generations.
To understand why this constitutes loyalty, one must first grasp the relationship between Mount Hua and other sects.
Firstly, the Zhongnan Sect shares the same province of Shaanxi with Mount Hua.
Though Zhongnan is nominally one of the pillars of the Nine Sects and One Alliance, it effectively holds the lowest rank and is weaker than Mount Hua. Consequently, Zhongnan avoids provoking Mount Hua, and Mount Hua sees no need to attack them, resulting in a state of coexistence.
‘After all, being sects within the same Shaanxi Province, they’d naturally be the best allies to turn to in times of need.’
It was, in essence, a political calculation.
Of course, this didn’t mean they were particularly friendly in ordinary times. Despite coexisting, both sides harbored subtle mutual discomfort.
As for Wudang Sect, their relationship was simply poor.
Although Mount Hua was currently slightly weaker than Wudang, the gap wasn’t as pronounced as with Zhongnan. Over long centuries, the two sects had repeatedly overtaken and been overtaken by each other, and their rivalry remained fiercely active even now.
Male lead is a Love-Obsessed Merman
When he discovers she has gone, he risks everything to pursue her on land, enduring agonizing pain to transform his tail into human legs…
One-line summary: Male lead chases female lead. The male lead’s love is a bit sick, an invincible love brain.
Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.
Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
