Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 197

**Chapter 197: The Holgazan is Convinced (2)**

“…Is that what you meant by ‘something that can’t be avoided’?”

Jangil nodded to Wei Sanho’s question.

“With Wei Yanho’s status, he can’t help but assume the position of representative of the Righteous Martial Alliance. True, but besides him, who would dare be the representative of the Righteous Martial Alliance? You could also be beaten.”

“…Who will be beaten?”

Jangil snapped his tongue when he saw the veins on Wei Sanho’s forehead.

“Admit what you must admit. It is true that you are considered one of the best future leaders in the history of the Righteous Martial Alliance, but that was before Yeonho appeared. If you are an unprecedented future leader, Yeonho is a monster… no, a phenomenon. Can you exchange blows with the leader now?”

Wei Sanho coughed without responding.

‘Tsk tsk, what brothers.’

Even if the brotherhood is strong, if a younger brother is superior, the older brother will feel uncomfortable. Even if they do not show it, they cannot feel completely happy.

But the reason Wei Sanho coughed was not to hide his discomfort, but to hide his smile from the elders.

Jangil shook his head when he saw the smile behind the fist that covered his mouth.

‘Are you so happy, even if it’s your brother?’

According to what he had heard, they had barely spent time together, except when they were children, how do they maintain that brotherhood?

Jangil, an orphan who joined the Beggar sect without brothers, might never understand it. Although if he had brothers, he might not understand it even more.

“Did you say a martial arts tournament?”

“The exact name is…”

“Stop it. What does that matter?”

Sima Cheonse interrupted Jo Hyeon with irritation. He had tried to avoid it, but in the end he had been caught by Jo Hyeon and brought here, so it was negative.

“The Righteous Heavenly Alliance proposed a martial arts tournament. But those stingy ones want only future leaders to participate.”

Gong Mujin scratched his cheek.

‘These encounters seem to be becoming more frequent…’

It is a meeting to discuss the important issues of the Righteous Martial Alliance. In a meeting where the leader and officer participate, the leaders of the different factions should meet to discuss, but…

It seemed that all related to Wei Yanho had been summoned. Wei Yanho’s family, Jangil, and even Mo Sanah, who should not be here, were present.

The fact that the daughter of the leader of the Hao sect was at the Righteous Martial Alliance counter-measure meeting showed the absurdity of the situation.

‘Is it okay? Is it really okay?’

As Jo Hyeon said nothing, it was uncomfortable for him to speak. Jo Hyeon began to lead the meeting, which should be called “Meeting of countermeasures for Wei Yanho.”

“Future Leaders…”

Wei Jeonghan rubbed his face and said:

“What are the criteria for being a future leader?”

“The three best disciples of each faction. Or if they are less than thirty years old, they will be considered future leaders.”

“Hmm…”

When Wei Jeonghan seemed to reflect, Gong Mujin waved his head and asked:

“But, senior, who hit you? Your face is swollen…”

“Kheugh!”

“Kheugh!”

When Jo Hyeon and Wei Jeonghan coughed at the same time, Gong Mujin snapped his tongue.

‘He was beaten again.’

If he’s upset with his son, he should hit him himself, why does he hit the father?

Both Jo Hyeon, who strikes, and Wei Jeonghan, who receives the blows, are incomprehensible.

‘Is that the Sword of the Righteous Hero…’

It may sound strange, but the name of the Sword of the Righteous Hero is equivalent to death or a demon among the practitioners of dark martial arts. For those who follow justice, it is a hero, but for those who have something to hide, it is like a demon who appears without warning to strike, threaten and destroy.

That Wei Jeonghan is being beaten by his son by an officer of the Righteous Martial Alliance.

Jo Hyeon, who strikes, is a problem, but Wei Jeonghan, who receives the blows, is too. Wei Jeonghan could avoid the blows if he wanted to, but he gets them.

‘It’s good that I didn’t get married.’

They say raising children is the hardest thing in the world, who could have imagined that a guy like Wei Yanho would come out of a hero like Wei Jeonghan?

Considering the father’s personality…

Gong Mujin smiled at Wei Sanho.

‘Yes, someone like him should come out.’

But fate is cruel, and someone like Wei Yanho would even come out of Wei Jeonghan.

‘I don’t need to get married. I have Seolhwa.’

Although she is not my daughter, a disciple as beautiful as I Sheolhwa is a hundred times better than a son like Wei Yanho.

The problem is that I Seolhwa…

“Well done, you bastard.”

“Hey, what did you say?”

“…Nothing.”

Gong Mujin squeezed his teeth.

He should take better care of his child, but he cannot control his child and is seducing his beautiful disciple. Does anyone who cannot control his child deserve to be called the Sword of the Righteous Hero?

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“I told you it was nothing.”

“Is your tone a little unpleasant?”

“It’s not.”

Gong Mujin looked away.

“However, it seems that we should send future leaders… it’s a little embarrassing, but our young people are not superior to theirs. We could be ashamed if we participate.”

Wei Jeonghan asked with disbelief:

“So, don’t we participate?”

“…Jeonghan.”

“Yes?”

“You should think before talking, or just not talking.”

“…….”

“Try not to talk. People get angry.”

When Wei Jeonghan lowered his head, Han Sangah put his hand on his shoulder to comfort him.

“I told you. You’re not well treated outside the house.”

“…Are you going to mention the dead again?”

Jo Hyeon shook his head and continued:

“If we don’t participate, we can avoid immediate embarrassment, but we can’t stop the Righteous Heavenly Alliance from saying that the Righteous Martial Alliance is avoiding the fight.”

Sima Cheonse frowned.

“We can ignore it.”

“It’s not that easy. The fact that there have not been big events recently is a big factor. And the tournament itself attracts a lot of interest. If we avoid fighting, people will believe that the Righteous Heavenly Alliance will be the center of the martial world in the future.”

“Hmm, since you say it… I can’t believe it…”

Sima Cheonse seemed not to understand why the conversation was going that way.

“So, the conclusion is… we must send forward future leaders, and we must win so as not to embarrass the Righteous Martial Alliance. If we can get anything else by winning, it would be even better.”

Jo Hyeon shut up.

‘There is a clearer reason…’

It was not something I could say in front of Sima Cheonse, who had a strong temper. Before coming here, the ancient schools had contacted the Righteous Martial Alliance to send their disciples separately.

Sima Cheonse, who already distrusts ancient schools, would explode by hearing that.

If old schools get better results than the Righteous Martial Alliance, the Righteous Martial Alliance’s role as a union will weaken. What’s the point of a union that is worse than its individual members?

“Then the conclusion is…”

Wei Jeonghan said quietly:

“D…we must send Yeonho…”

Jangil smiled bitterly.

‘We’ve been going around a lot.’

In the end, it all started with that one sentence.

Wei Jeonghan looked at Sima Cheonse and Jo Hyeon and said:

“I… am sorry to cause you trouble for my son.”

“Ugh.”

“Tsk.”

Jo Hyeon looked at Wei Jeonghan with a murderous look.

Wei Jeonghan felt unfairly treated, but he could not say anything.

All this was the fault of his son, who had brought the leader and the officer to the meeting room.

“Isn’t there another way?”

Wei Jeonghan scratched his neck.

“He’s my son, but he’s been out of my control for a long time…”

“You must speak clearly. When have you controlled it?”

Wei Jeonghan jumped at Han Sangah’s sharp voice.

“As my son is already out of my control…”

Jo Hyeon shook his head when he saw Wei Jeonghan correct his words.

“Hahahaha, don’t get so depressed. Although Wei Yanho is a bit whimsical, having a child like this isn’t easy. It’s a blessing.”

“Leader.”

Tears filled Wei Jeonghan’s eyes.

After returning to the Righteous Martial Alliance, Wei Jeonghan had been scolded, criticized and even beaten for the way he raised his son, Sima Cheonse’s words were a great comfort to him.

“It is a blessing…”

“Yes?”

“Since you have that blessing, you should solve this. A great blessing carries a great responsibility.”

“… Shouldn’t it be a great power carries a great responsibility?”

“That’s what I heard. That’s what I think now.”

Wei Jeonghan ran out of speech.

“So, isn’t there another way?”

Jo Hyeon, realizing that the conversation was shifting, changed the subject. Wei Jeonghan looked at Wei Sanho for help. Wei Sanho nodded and spoke.

“Leader, officer.”

“Hmm?”

“Leave us alone. We have something to discuss.”

Jo Hyeon looked at Wei Jeonghan, who no doubt nodded, and fired the people. When they all left, only Wei Sanho remained, and Jo Hyeon spoke.

“Well, is there really a way?”

“There is a very easy and simple way. If we use this method, even if Yeonho resists, he cannot refuse.”

“I don’t understand. Yeonho never moves, no matter what they do.”

“For us, yes. But there is someone Yeonho fears.”

“Your father said he was more afraid of you.”

“Fear is different. Yeonho finds me upset, but he does not fear me. He does not fear me, but our mother.”

“Mother?”

Jo Hyeon barked his head.

Han Sangah does not want to make Wei Yanho suffer. Han Sangah had remained silent with a serious expression. How can we make her act?

“The method is…”

Jo Hyeon’s mouth opened when he heard Wei Sanho’s words.
