Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 129

**Chapter 129: The Holgazan Fights (4)**

“A storm?”

Gong Mujin nodded his head with a severe face.

Wei Yanho asked with an expression full of doubt.

“Why?”

“There are too many people.”

Wei Yanho frowned, without understanding what Gong Mujin was saying.

“Too many people are the problem?”

“That’s right.”

Gong Mujin looked at the others and continued.

“The discovery of the legacy of the Sword Emperor is a huge thing. Many people have come together. But the real problem is that many people want the legacy, but only one person can get it.”

I Sheolhwa nodded.

They did not know how the legacy of the Sword Emperor would be presented, but it was obvious that it could not be divided between several people. Therefore, a struggle for possession was inevitable.

In the martial world, even the discovery of a good medicine can cause a great shock. But this is the legacy of the Sword Emperor.

“Will it not be controlled by the Righteous Martial Alliance or the Righteous Heavenly Alliance?”

Gong Mujin shook his head at the words of Seomun Dayeon.

“Controlling so many people is impossible. It would only be possible if the Righteous Martial Alliance left its base unprotected and came en masse. But you know that’s impossible.”

“Right.”

“Although I have a lot of experience in the martial world, I have never seen so many people gathered together. It is even more strange that there are no accidents with so many people gathered for the same purpose.”

Everyone had to agree with Gong Mujin.

But Wei Yanho was still frowning.

“…But isn’t that legacy of the Sword Emperor a secret technique or something?”

“That’s right. Everything else is of no importance.”

“My teacher said that, no matter how much you try, a secret technique cannot contain the complete essence. He said that it is only registered so that whoever knows it does not forget it. What value does it have for so many people to gather for that?”

Gong Mujin opened his eyes a lot.

“Who is your teacher?”

“I’m sorry for repeating it, but you really won’t know even if I tell you.”

“Hmm, I suspect. If someone raised someone like you, he must be someone like an immortal.”

“He’s not an immortal, he’s a ghost.”

“It could be someone like a ghost…”

“No, he’s a real ghost.”

“Now, now, someone like a ghost.”

Wei Yanho was frustrated.

Why doesn’t the world believe in the truth?!

He’s saying he’s a ghost, why don’t you believe it?!

I wanted to shout, “My teacher is a ghost!” in the street.

“Your teacher is right. A secret technique alone cannot fully convey its essence; it is a method of imperfect transmission.”

“I know.”

“But it doesn’t have to be fully reproduced, does it?”

“Yes?”

Gong Mujin smiled.

“Imagine that you are a carpenter who builds houses. If you see a magnificent building in the neighboring city, you won’t be able to know all the materials and construction methods, but at least you can use what you know to build an even better building, right?”

Wei Yanho nodded.

“The same is true of martial arts. Those who seek the secret technique of the Sword Emperor seek the logic and the level of mastery it contains, do not seek to reproduce it exactly. If they can reach that level of mastery, what does the form matter?”

“You explain very well.”

“Hahahaha.”

“But even the essence cannot be reached if the form is not complete, right?”

“Who would want to reach the same level? It’s the Sword Emperor, the best swordsman of all time. Even if you only reach half its level, you could aspire to be the best in the world.”

Wei Yanho nodded.

It was a logical argument.

“Why? Are you interested? Are you going to participate in the struggle for legacy?”

“No.”

Wei Yanho shook his head firmly.

“However, even if you get that secret technique, you’ll have to analyze it, study it and practice it.”

“Of course! Without hard training, how could you master the martial arts of someone like the Sword Emperor!”

“Then why bother? You could wash your feet and sleep.”

“…….”

Gong Mujin sighed.

‘I forgot for a moment.’

He had forgotten for a moment that this guy was the number one slacker in the world.

‘Who is the teacher of this type?’

More than who his teacher was, he was surprised that his teacher could teach such martial arts to this lazy man.

Even with the food served, you would have to put the food in your mouth and push your chin to chew it, so you could swallow it with difficulty.

That someone like that taught you martial arts on this level is a real miracle.

If Baek Muhan were here, I would remind him of the simple truth that “perseverance can do everything,” but unfortunately, Baek Muhan was no longer in this world.

“Well… then you should rest. But, young man.”

“Yes?”

“Even for you, taking the new chicken leg you asked for is something a human being shouldn’t do, don’t you?”

“Yes?”

Wei Yanho lowered his head to look at his bowl. “There was another chicken leg there.”

Wei Yanho looked at I Seolhwa without being able to say anything.

But I Seolhwa looked away and asked the waiter for tea to avoid Wei Yanho’s gaze.

‘Have you learned any killer techniques?’

How could he put the chicken leg without Wei Yanho noticing?

“I didn’t see you like this.”

“It’s a misunderstanding!”

“After eating everything you asked for before, you want another leg! Gluttony is also bad if it’s excessive.”

“It’s a misunderstanding!”

Wei Yanho hit his chest with frustration, but the chicken leg said nothing.

“…….”

Gong Mujin went out to check his body in the morning and ran out of words when he saw Seo Juak with his face completely bruised.

“Who hit you again?”

Seo Juak spoke with difficulty.

“Wei… Wei Yan…”

“Did that guy come out on purpose to hit you again?”

“So…so…rry…”

Gong Mujin nodded.

It seems that when Wei Yanho went to see his lover last night, he saw Seo Juak tied up and, angry, kicked him again.

“You should have behaved well. As you lived like a depraved, you have no right to complain even if your neck is cut off.”

Seo Juak was very outraged.

Of course, he had done things that deserved death, so he had nothing to say.

The problem was I couldn’t understand why Wei Yanho did that.

The things I screamed every time I hit were strange.

Most people who hold grudges against him express their anger by saying things like “you ruined my sister’s life,” expressing their anger at the loss of the chastity of a relative or lover.

But Wei Yanho only said strange things like “Give me my five years back” or “How much have you made me suffer?”

He seemed to have a big grudge, but you couldn’t know where he was coming from, which was exasperating.

“It’s your fault.”

Gong Mujin snapped his tongue to see Seo Juak crying and turned around.

As the blood was hot, it looked like Wei Yanho had recently left, so he thought of exercising with a fight.

‘I don’t understand.’

He had already fought twice and realized there was a big difference between his martial skill and that of Wei Yanho.

I couldn’t understand it logically.

This is Gong Mujin, the Plum Blossom Sword Spirit.

Of course, the martial world is full of powerful warriors, and if you classify them as “these are the strongest,” suddenly there appears a strange warrior from the mountains who defeats the existing strong warriors.

Therefore, it was difficult to assess their exact position in the martial world.

But still, this is Gong Mujin, the Plum Blossom Sword Spirit.

Even if he is underestimated, he considers himself one of the world’s one hundred greatest warriors.

For a young man to defeat him so easily…

“He is a monster.”

Even “monster” was insufficient.

Huh?

Don’t prodigies appear from time to time in the martial world?

“I was a prodigy.”

Gong Mujin could not help but sigh. He had also been considered a prodigy in his youth. He was said to have the talent to bring Hua Shan’s name to fame.

And he thought he had met those expectations…

“I just have to keep training.”

Gong Mujin shook his head, overcoming the sense of emptiness he felt.

If he felt it was insufficient, he had to improve. That was the way Gong Mujin had lived.

But the reality was discouraging, as it followed his way of life.

“…Is he sleeping?”

As he did not respond even though he called, Gong Mujin silently opened the door of Wei Yanho’s room and entered.

‘A monster?’

But what he found was not Wei Yanho, but a large white mass. Only after looking at him for a while did Gong Mujin realize that it was Wei Yanho sleeping with a blanket rolled around him, and he grabbed his head.

‘Sleep decently.’

It doesn’t say anything about sleeping.

Humans have an innate nature, and it’s no use talking diligence to someone lazy.

But this wasn’t just laziness.

“Miss.”

Gong Mujin called Wei Yanho politely.

“Se…ño…ri…to.”

“Uuum.”

“Miss, it’s already noon. You should get up and start the day. The ancient sages said that two hours of sleep a day is enough, and that living another day is a way to make the most of a short life.

“Aauu!”

Wei Yanho moved.

He thought his teacher’s method of waking him up was the worst, but Gong Mujin’s method of giving him a sermon was just as bad.

“Let me sleep!”

“It’s already noon.”

Wei Yanho suddenly rose and opened the window to point out. The sun seemed to look timidly at them.

“Don’t you know what noon means?”

“Hahahaha, that could be considered noon, right? If you divide the sky into three parts.”

“Kuh.”

He was someone impossible to refute with words.

“Why! Why!”

“The sun has already risen, so a warrior should start exercising. Warriors never know when something can happen, and they should always be in the best physical condition. The easiest way to stay fit is…”

“Kaaaak!”

Wei Yanho threw the pillow.

It wasn’t the Plum Blossom Sword Spirit, but the Plum Blossom Mouth Spirit.

At that moment, the door opened at once.

Gong Mujin’s eyes opened when he saw an unexpected figure standing outside the door.
