Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 167

**Chapter 167: The Holgazan Teaches (2)**

“……is that all true?”

“Yes.”

Gong Mujin was relieved.

He did not know how many times he had said this, but he always faced the same reaction.

Even Sima Cheonse (), the leader of the Righteous Martial Alliance, whom he could not normally look into the eyes, reacted in the same way.

“At that age?”

“Yes.”

“Then…”

It’s not surprising.

Gong Mujin understood Sima Cheonse’s reaction. If he himself had heard of Wei Yanho’s actions, he would have reacted in the same way.

That expression of: ‘This boy is lying, but I don’t think he’s lying, considering his reputation… should I believe him or not?’ Seeing that expression, Gong Mujin was pleased to have achieved the reputation of Plum Blossom Sword Spirit.

“Hmm, then that boy Wei Yanho… has cultivated unknown martial arts, on an unimaginable level.”

“That’s right.”

“Have you fought with him?”

“Yes.”

In response to Gong Mujin, Sima Cheonse asked with interest.

“What was it like? At your level, you couldn’t even imagine the limit of their abilities?”

“That’s right.”

“But you have fought with other powerful warriors. On Mount Hua, there are many warriors who have reached a supreme level, right? There are swordsmen who dominate the world. You must have fought with them.”

“…I will tell you the truth.”

“Really?”

Gong Mujin sighed deeply.

It was embarrassing for his sect, so he preferred not to say it, but it wasn’t respectful to shut up before the leader and officer of the Righteous Martial Alliance.

“I have fought with the Ancient Sacred Sword, but I did not feel that sense of abyss that I felt when I fought with that brat. It may be my lack of skill…”

Sacred sword.

That word had a big impact.

‘Beyond the level of the Sacred Sword?’

Sima Cheonse couldn’t believe it.

Who was the Sacred Sword? The true best swordsman on Mount Hua, and one of the best swordsmen in the world.

One of the three best swordsmen in the world, along with the Grand Master Taiji of the Wudang sect and the Sword King of the Namgung family. Beyond the level of the Sacred Sword.

“He ate a whole ginseng field?”

Although he said that, Sima Cheonse knew that it was not something that could be achieved only with a high level of internal energy. It was such an absurd statement that he was just saying something.

“At that age, that level…”

‘I’m sick of hearing that.’

Yeah.

That reaction is normal.

If someone should be criticized, it should not be those who have the same reaction, but Wei Yanho, who makes everyone react in the same way, ignoring their personalities and characteristics.

“How do you compare to him?”

“……I dare not compare myself.”

“Hmm…”

Gong Mujin said it could not be compared, but he had already given the answer.

“Hahahaha. Wei Jeonghan, this guy, has raised a monster. They say the son follows the father, but this is a dragon.”

Although he should be upset that a young man would match him in skill, Sima Cheonse, who admired Wei Jeonghan, only smiled cheerfully.

“So, what is Wei Yanho doing now?”

“…is selling secret books at the front entrance.”

“Huh?”

Seeing Sima Cheonse’s surprise, Jo Hyeon sighed and began to explain the situation.

After hearing the story, with its expression changing several times, Sima Cheonse asked with amazement.

“N… there’s no problem with that?”

“After thinking about it several times, I don’t think there is any problem.”

“But use our name for certification…”

“The secret book is definitely from the secret passage. As the Treasure of the Sword Emperor refers to the secret book found in the secret passage called the Secret Cave of the Sword Emperor, it is not difficult to certify the truth.”

“Hmm, I see.”

“In addition…”

Jo Hyeon smiled.

“He will definitely be a key figure in the martial world. It’s good to establish a connection with him. I want to meet him and keep him close, even if I have to pay a fortune.”

“So much?”

“Even if only a tenth of what I have heard is true, it will be the best in the world in the future.”

“Yes, right.”

Sima Cheonse laughed out loud.

“Even Wei Sanho, the Demon-Expelling Sword, is a talent that could aspire to be the best in the world, and his brother is even better… shouldn’t we call the Wei family the best in the world?”

“Currently, their power is weak, so we cannot compare them to the Namgung family, but if Wei Sanho and Wei Yanho grow, in ten years, the Wei family will be the best in the world.”

“Excellent, excellent.”

Sima Cheonse smiled cheerfully.

“Well, what are you going to do now, officer?”

Jo Hyeon smiled and said.

“In exchange for allowing him to sell the secret book, he agreed to be an instructor at the Crouching Dragon Academy for a while.”

“Instructor?”

Sima Cheonse asked with disbelief.

“I understand that Wei Sanho graduated from the Academie of the Down Dragon recently, do you mean that Wei Yanho will be an instructor? It seems that his age is similar to that of the students.”

“That’s what’s important.”

“That?”

Jo Hyeon began to explain slowly.

“That boy, Wei Yanho, will lead the martial world in the future. But he doesn’t seem to enjoy much interacting with others.”

“…Hmm, that’s a problem.”

Being the best in the world is a symbolic position. Being the strongest does not bestow power, but as warriors seek strength, that symbolic position can influence the world.

Therefore, when someone with a strange or evil personality proclaims himself the best in the world, the martial world is always in chaos.

It was therefore necessary to meet young people like Wei Yanho.

Of course, the ideal would be for him to enter the academy…

“Isn’t it impossible to make a boy stronger than the instructor enter the academy?”

“That’s right. Also, if the future leaders of the martial world are inspired by or learn something from Wei Yanho, it won’t be a bad investment for us.”

“Hmm, I see…”

Sima Cheonse did not know if Jo Hyeon’s calculation was correct or not, but as always, she trusted his judgment. He had never lost by following his decisions.

Sima Cheonse was confident that everything would go as planned by Jo Hyeon.

“……you said he was selling secret books?”

“That’s right.”

“I heard you let people copy it, how much does it charge?”

“It says three ounces of gold.”

“Hmm…”

Sima Cheonse avoided the look with an uncomfortable expression.

“Wouldn’t it be good if we got a copy?”

“…For individuals, three ounces of gold, but for groups, it charges proportionally to the number of people. It says we should pay a thousand ounces of gold considering the number of people in the Alliance.”

“M… a thousand ounces?”

A thousand ounces of gold?

Is the annual budget of the Righteous Martial Alliance a thousand ounces of gold?

“So we agreed on five hundred ounces of gold.”

“Hmm…”

Although it seemed necessary, five hundred ounces of gold was an amount that made his heart speed up.

“E… so how much money is that kid making?”

“I don’t know exactly, but I do know one thing.”

“What?”

“In a month, the Wei family will be the richest in the world, even if it isn’t the most powerful. They could use gold bowls to feed their dogs.”

Sima Cheonse looked down on her simple clothes and then raised her head slowly.

“Wei Jeonghan will give me something?”

“…….”

* * *

The Academy of the Down Dragon was in turmoil over a morning announcement.

“W…what does it say?”

“They say the officer has issued an edict.”

“Officer? Has the Master of Divine Abilities, Jo Hyeon, issued an edict to the academy?”

It was natural for students to be interested.

Although they were the future leaders of the martial world, Jo Hyeon was the second most important person in the Righteous Martial Alliance. It was not possible for him to worry about the Academy of the Down Dragon.

Although the future is important, today’s issues are important.

Therefore, many students graduated without ever seeing the leader of the Righteous Martial Alliance, Sima Cheonse, or Officer Jo Hyeon.

As Jo Hyeon had issued an edict, everyone was interested in its content.

“What does it say? What does it say!”

“Wait!”

A forward-looking student frowned.

“It looks like a special instructor will come.”

“Special instructor?”

“A new instructor will come, and applications will be accepted for a new class with that instructor. As high-level lessons will be given, students will be selected through an evaluation.”

“……who will it be!”

It was surprising news.

The Academy of the Down Dragon did not use a system of levels. Although there was competition, everyone could apply for any class. Therefore, when the time came to apply for classes, the academy was filled with students who flew using light martial arts.

But for the first time since the creation of the Academie of the Agrowed Dragon, students would be selected for a class through an evaluation.

“W… who will be the instructor?”

“Will you not be the officer?”

“That’s absurd! But it’s definitely someone important!”

“I’ll sign up! I can’t miss this!”

“Me too!”

Eon Hyo trembled at the scene.

“What’s wrong with you?”

Eon Hyo said in a shaky voice before Peng Dohyeong’s question.

“Hey, Peng Je.”

“Yes, Hyung.”

“Have we not already been through enough suffering?”

“Yes. A lot.”

Not only Sangwan Hong, but everyone had suffered a lot, but upon returning to the Wei Yanho Alliance, they received no reward for their suffering.

“But I don’t know why I feel so anxious.”

“……I also feel strange.”

“Ugh.”

Eon Hyo shook his head.

“What will you do?”

“I will sign up.”

Eon Hyo’s eyes shone.

Although he did not show it, he was very shocked by Wei Yanho. Although Sangwan Hong was half a step ahead, he thought he could reach it.

But then Wei Yanho, a monster, appeared.

If he was not motivated to see Wei Yanho, who was younger and had an incomparable skill, he was not a warrior!

“I must learn as much as I can! If there is a monster in my generation, how could I refuse this opportunity!”

“Right! Hyung!”

But they didn’t know.

That monster would be your instructor.

That would be the beginning of his misfortune.
