Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 175

C175

“What happened?”

The man frowned deeply. “I had not heard wrong. His ear was sharp. I simply could not believe what I had heard, for I had never imagined it.

“Did you say the secret book is being sold everywhere?”

“……That’s right.”

The man’s eyes trembled.

“Explain to me exactly what is going on.”

When the voice of man became more intense, his subordinate, sweating cold, began to explain the situation.

After hearing everything, the man asked with a grim voice:

“So, the secret book is being sold as hot bread in front of the Righteous Martial Alliance door?”

“That’s right.”

“No, what…”

The plan was meticulous, and you could say that all possible variables were within his calculations.

It is inevitable that variables arise in a company of this magnitude. Instead of trying to control variables, man focused on creating a system that could respond to any variable.

But this was a situation he had never considered. Who in his right mind would sell such a precious secret book everywhere?

It was illogical.

“E… then…”

The subordinate lowered his head deeply. “I swear that I had never seen this man stutter. That meant I was very surprised.

“Hahahaha, I am speechless.”

The man grabbed her head and shook her.

Although there were many variables, I had never imagined meeting such an absurd variable. There are crazy people in the world, and there are people with great martial skills. But what if that crazy person is also strong?

And why did that person get the secret book? Even if someone was manipulating things secretly, this situation would not be so dramatic.

“Did you say his name is Wei Yanho?”

“That’s right.”

“Wei Yanho, Wei Yanho…”

The man felt a bad feeling.

The affairs of his brothers, and his own, began to become strange because of Wei Yanho. It was as if heaven had sent Wei Yanho into the world to ruin his plans.

‘That’s why I tried to avoid it.’

The man did not believe in fate, but it was undeniable that Wei Yanho was ruining his plans.

The man nodded slowly.

“Wei Yanho, Wei Yanho… well, if so, there’s no other choice. If I can’t help it, I’ll have to destroy it.”

A firm determination appeared in man’s eyes.

I knew that doubting at this time would be harmful.

“Did you say the secret book has spread all over Central Plains?”

“Yes, it is.”

“Hmm…”

The man murmured.

Originally, he planned to lead the secret book to the most powerful person he could reach. What was happening was completely the opposite of his plan.

‘But if I think about it, it’s not so bad.’

The man touched his chin.

If he moved away from the shock that his plan had been completely ruined, the situation was not so bad. It was difficult to handle things in secret, but the scope of the matter had increased.

“How interesting. That’s why the martial world is fun.”

Still, I could not help thinking that the result of things depends on heaven, no matter how much effort is made.

As the proverb says, “Planning depends on man, success depends on heaven.”

The man got up with a soft smile.

“But my father could even subdue the trials of heaven with his sword.”

There was no one else to discuss this with. The man went to see his father in the garden.

Even after hearing everything, the old man did not respond. He simply caressed the flowers.

Although he did not receive an answer, the man could not urge him. The old man seemed so natural looking after the garden that he did not want to interrupt it.

As if he were admiring a painting, the man was absorbed by the garden scene and the old man.

“Is that so?”

“…Yes, Father.”

The answer came a little late.

The old man turned his head and looked at the man with a warm expression. He then walked towards a pavilion in a corner of the garden. The man followed the old man in silence.

“Sit down.”

“Yes.”

When the man sat down, the old man took out a set of tea and began to boil water. The old man prepared the tea in silence, and the man observed in silence.

The old man offered tea to the man and spoke.

“Chrysanthemum tea.”

“Thank you.”

“Sniff.”

The man smelled the tea obediently. A soft and fragrant aroma filled his nose. It was not as good as high quality tea that intoxicates people with its strong aroma, but it had a comforting feeling.

The old man turned his head and looked into the sky. “A blue sky without a single cloud entered his eyes.

“Longjing, Biluochun, Xueya… I’ve had a lot of teas, but none is as good as the chrysanthemum I grow and dry myself. Do you know why?”

“Son, I still can’t understand its meaning.”

The old man smiled.

“Because I did it myself.”

“…….”

“If you have power, wealth and authority, it is not difficult to obtain high quality tea. But that tea does not impress me. When I sow the seeds myself, I feed them myself, I prun them myself, and then I reap and dry the chrysanthemum flowers with care, my effort is reflected in them. Then, the aroma and flavor will be deeper.”

The man nodded as if he understood.

“Everything is the same. If you want to get really good results, you have to do it yourself. In the process, you will experience many mistakes. It’s by overcoming those mistakes that we live.”

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

The old man nodded with a warm expression.

“It has been a long time since that day. The world has forgotten the Infinity Sword Clan, also known as the Ten Thousand Sword Clan, and we are only remembered as legends. We must show the world that the spirit of Infinity Sword still lives.”

“I have not forgotten.”

The old man slapped the man on the shoulder.

“I trust you.”

“Father, with you behind me, what could I fear? The world will remember the name of the Infinity Sword.”

“That’s the way it should be.”

The elder nodded with satisfaction and continued.

“I heard that your brothers are going through difficulties.”

“…Yes.”

“I gave them different tasks, not to compete for succession, but to work efficiently in their respective positions. But knowing that your brothers were going through difficulties, you simply watched them.”

The man’s body trembled. “The man quickly bowed.

“I was short-sighted.”

Even if it wasn’t true, if your father said so, it was true. Even if it wasn’t true, it became true.

“Huiming ()”.

“…Yes, Father.”

“I called you Huiming because I wanted you to get our lost name back.”

“Yes! I have not forgotten.”

“Don’t embarrass me.”

Huiming. Bai Huiming (Baek Hoemyung) lowered his head and replied: “I will record your words in my heart.”

Baek Hoemyung’s body rose slowly. Baek Hoemyung looked at his father with surprise. He had not moved a finger. The old man had lifted him up using martial arts.

Baek Hoemyung was also strong enough to be among the best in the martial world. Being able to move someone like that without touching him was impossible without reaching a divine level.

Baek Hoemyung looked at the old man with confidence.

“Did you say Wei Yanho?”

“Yes, it is.”

“The Wei Family…”

The old man closed his eyes. He was born thinking, and then slowly opened his eyes.

“It is not yet time to reveal ourselves.”

“…Yes.”

Baek Hoemyung licked his lips, a little disappointed.

In his opinion, Wei Yanho should not be ignored. When an age of chaos comes, a hero always appears. And Wei Yanho had a high probability of becoming that hero.

Just to see how he was connected to them, he seemed predestined.

But the old man’s words were absolute. If the old man did not want to reveal himself, he had to obey.

“So far…”

Baek Hoemyung suddenly lifted his head. “I had understood the meaning of the old man’s words.

“You said that in those days, he broke the sky with his sword. I thought it was an exaggeration. But now that I have come this far, I know it was not a lie.”

“Then…”

Baek Huiming’s body trembled.

The old man smiled softly.

“How could I say that I have reached its level? Its level was so high and deep. But now I understand where it was looking. With that, no one in the world can stop the Infinity Sword.”

“Congratulations, Father!”

The old man smiled softly.

“It’s time to reveal our name to the world. Accelerate your plans. Tell others to prepare to raise the flag of Infinity Sword.”

“Yes, Father!”

“And…”

Baek Hoemyung waited anxiously for the following words from his father.

“That boy, Wei Yanho, will be an obstacle for us. If we ignore that nuisance, we will end up losing much more.”

“I agree.”

“Delete it.”

“Yes!”

Baek Hoemyung felt as if a weight had risen from his chest. His father, of course, knew what he knew.

“It’s good to be meticulous, but sometimes you lack decision. If you draw the sword, don’t hesitate.”

“I will keep that in mind, Father.”

“Go away.”

When Baek Hoemyung retired in silence, the old man sat in the pavilion and looked into the sky.

“It’s time for them to pay for their crimes. Isn’t it, honey?”

The eyes of the old man, who had always been soft, showed a slight hatred. The flames of hatred in his eyes began to burn, as if they were to envelope the world.
