Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 171

**Chapter 171: The Holgazan is Trapped (1)**

Jo Hyeon was not an easy opponent.

Even in the future, Jo Hyeon would be almost the only one able to screw with Wei Yanho.

Your family?

Let’s forget that. Even the most capable person can’t challenge his father. Even the best warrior in the world could get a beating from his father.

Did Wei Yanho get beat up, too?

Let’s forget about that.

Either way, the meeting between Jo Hyeon and Wei Yanho was not pleasant for either of them. Jo Hyeon, in particular, was very surprised.

Why?

This is funny even for me, but someone like Jo Hyeon, the Master of Divine Abilities, doesn’t need to worry about unconventional people.

Think about it. The people he deals with are leaders of sects or heads of regions. Unconventional people usually don’t get to those positions.

Where would Jo Hyeon get someone like Wei Yanho?

Me?

I’m a beggar.

Since I’ve met all kinds of people, I’m immune if I, who’ve seen everything, was surprised by Wei Yanho… how much more surprised would Jo Hyeon be?

The problem starts there.

When you meet someone you can’t understand or control, it’s best to just ignore it, but smart people always think they can understand others.

Especially someone like Jo Hyeon?

That’s how they fall into the trap.

Slowly.

* * *

“What’s going on?”

Jo Hyeon ran out of words.

‘What is it?’ Don’t you know?

He wanted to scream, but he could not. He had to keep his composure, and scolding the instructor in front of the students would damage his reputation. Jo Hyeon, who had not yet lost hope in this class, wanted to avoid that.

“…… Have you eaten?”

“No.”

“Do you want to go eat with me?”

“No, I’m not that hungry…”

I’m not inviting you to eat because you’re hungry, you bastard!

He was already furious, but still held back. Hearing the whispers behind his back, Jo Hyeon felt as if someone had put his hand in his stomach and stirred his bowels.

“Or… the officer says the instructor should go eat.”

“When he came to give a speech, he rejected the sweets the governor had prepared, saying he was busy.”

“…The instructor is really important.”

No!

No, you idiots!

Jo Hyeon had to seriously think if a human could spit fire when he’s really angry.

“Can’t we eat later?”

“……we must eat now.”

Wei Yanho looked at Jo Hyeon and sighed.

“I have heard that there are people who cannot eat alone, but it is sad that someone your age has to eat with others.”

No!

It’s not like that!

Jo Hyeon closed his eyes.

When did you experience such a thing?

‘Why didn’t I notice before?’

I should have noticed it when Gong Mujin warned him. I should have suspected it when the students who had come with Wei Yanho did not approach him.

“…It’s okay if you don’t eat, do you want to come with me and talk?”

“I have nothing to say.”

“I do! I do!”

Wei Yanho responded with a slightly stunned expression.

“If you have something to say, tell me, why are you shouting?”

“Ugh…”

Jo Hyeon clenched his fists. “He wanted to hit his chest, but he could not show his frustration in front of so many people. Holding his fists so tightly that his nails were nailed was the only thing he could do.

“You’re not going?”

“I’ll go. My father said it’s disrespectful not to follow an older man when he invites you.”

That’s very polite.

Wei Jeonghan at least taught his son manners.

But didn’t he teach you that it’s disrespectful to cover you with a blanket when an older man talks to you?

Is he polite or not?

As Wei Yanho did not move, Jo Hyeon urged him.

“What are you doing?”

“……it looks like it’s too cold.”

“Huh?”

“It’s hard to get out of the blanket.”

♪ Creak ♪

Jo Hyeon was surprised to hear the sound of his own teeth.

‘Calm down.’

Even when he heard that a thousand soldiers of the demonic sect would attack the see, he remained calm while drinking tea, and was called the incarnation of patience. It was incomprehensible that he should be carried away by a child.

‘Something is wrong.’

There was something in his expression, actions and tone that bothered him.

Enough to break his cultivated calm for years.

“The place where you will enjoy tea is warm, so get up.”

“I will be cold on the road.”

“…… Should I take you with the blanket?”

“I can’t go like this.”

Yeah.

He knows he’s human.

I thought I didn’t know.

“Then get up!”

“I was going to get up. You keep screaming. Did I do something wrong?”

“Ugh…”

Jo Hyeon looked up to the sky.

What a beautiful day!

The weather he had enjoyed before seemed annoying to him now. That’s the way people are, hypocrite.

Wei Yanho got up with difficulty and put on his shoes.

Normally, Jo Hyeon didn’t like hasty people.

Even if they were warriors, if they hurry, they will make mistakes. That was Jo Hyeon’s belief.

But today, that belief was discarded.

‘Did he eat a larva?’

Thanks to Wei Yanho, Jo Hyeon realized how grateful he was to have people moving quickly around him. At least they didn’t make him angry.

“Follow me.”

“Yes.”

Wei Yanho stretched a lot as he followed Jo Hyeon.

“Ha…aam.”

The students were amazed to see Wei Yanho.

“It really goes.”

“It seems that the instructor guaranteed by the officer is real.”

“But why doesn’t class start?”

“It must have a deep meaning. Maybe it’s been watching us.”

“…But does the officer seem angry? Or am I wrong?”

“He is the Master of Divine Abilities and a gentleman. They say that no one has seen him angry.”

“But he seems angry.”

“That means they are very close.”

Jo Hyeon squeezed his teeth.

‘I’ve known him for less than a week, you idiots!’

Rumor began to spread that the new instructor and Jo Hyeon were very close, without Jo Hyeon knowing.

Wei Yanho felt unfairly treated.

His keen instinct told him that Jo Hyeon was very upset. Wei Yanho, who had spent five years in a cave thinking about how to please Baek Muhan to receive less blows, knew it.

Although Baek Muhan had ignored his efforts by saying, “Just shut up, that’s the way to avoid beatings,” Wei Yanho knew that this old man was very angry.

As it is said that whoever has seen a bear is frightened even when seeing a pot, seeing Jo Hyeon angry, he felt the same pressure as when Baek Muhan was angry.

The problem is, I didn’t do anything wrong.

“……Hey, young Wei.”

“Yes.”

Jo Hyeon drank the boiling tea in one drink.

“Wow.”

Wei Yanho applauded seeing that.

“Incredible. You could make a lot of money doing that.”

“…….”

Jo Hyeon’s hands trembled.

Normally, people would say, “Are you very upset?” or “Drinking such hot water out of a drink, your internal energy is amazing.”

It was an inappropriate action for an old man, but he wanted to impress him… acrobatics?

‘Better to die.’

Jo Hyeon, who had realized that normal was not working with Wei Yanho, was direct.

“Hey, you.”

“Yes. I hear you.”

“Then…”

“But… aren’t we going to eat?”

Jo Hyeon almost got up to hit Wei Yanho.

It could only be contained thanks to his experience with the demonic sect. If he had not developed great patience during the battle, he would have beaten Wei Yanho.

‘Answer.’

Beating a child is inappropriate, but even if only half of what I had heard was true, I could not defeat Wei Yanho.

“You said you didn’t want to eat?”

“I’m hungry now.”

“How indecisive! That’s not how a gentleman behaves!”

“That’s the way people are.”

“Ugh…”

Jo Hyeon screamed out.

“Here! Bring food! Bring something to eat!”

“Yes, officer.”

The voice of response was strong, showing that they had noticed Jo Hyeon’s sharp tone.

“The food will come soon, so let’s talk.”

“That’s why you brought me. I’m ready.”

Why…?

Why are those petty words so irritating? Why?!

“Didn’t you promise to give me the best education?”

“Yes. It’s true.”

“Did I not give you everything you asked for? I eliminated any unnecessary interference, prepared the training ground as you wanted, and selected the best talents.”

“Yes. Right.”

“Then why aren’t you teaching! Why?”

Wei Yanho opened her eyes.

His expression was so unfair that Jo Hyeon thought he might have misunderstood something.

‘Isn’t it?’

But his thoughts dissipated with his next words.

“I’m giving the best class.”

“…… eh?”

Wei Yanho smiled.

“There is no better class than self-learning. As far as I know, Grand Master Bodhidharma also achieved enlightenment through self-learning, so no one can deny that self-learning is the best class. Or you can go to Shaolin to complain.”

Jo Hyeon ran out of words for the first time in his life.
