Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 214

**Chapter 214: The Holgazan Participates (4)**

“Ugh.”

Peng Dogeuk, who had fallen to the ground, rose up with difficulty. “The blow of the pillow was not so strong, but he was exhausted by training.

As he stood up, he looked at Wei Yanho, who was staring his head out the window.

“Tsk.”

Wei Yanho jumped out of the window.

He didn’t make any noise jumping from the second floor to the floor.

‘Supreme martial ability.’

It was such an amazing martial skill that it made you forget the pillow blow.

“Oh, how dirty.”

Wei Yanho picked up the pillow and shook it. After shaking the dust, Wei Yanho yawned and looked at Peng Dogeuk.

“Hey.”

“……yes.”

“Don’t you sleep?”

Peng Dogeuk, who was speechless, blinked.

“Why do you make noise when everyone sleeps? You don’t let me sleep!”

“L…sorry.”

Peng Dogeuk looked around with shame. He had not realized that the training camp was near the building, and that training there could be noisy.

‘Why am I always like this?’

His fault was that he couldn’t think of anything else when he was concentrating on something.

“Uf.”

When Peng Dogeuk sighed deeply, Wei Yanho frowned.

“Don’t complain just because they beat you with a pillow. Don’t you think I couldn’t sleep because of you?”

“It’s not that…”

“What?”

Peng Dogeuk bit his lips and said:

“Do you want to have a cup of tea with me?”

“…No, I don’t want men.”

“P…please.”

Peng Dogeuk was being misinterpreted.

His plan was to go down the mountain and go to a tavern or tea house, but seeing the expression of Wei Yanho when he pointed out the base of the mountain, he had to change his plan.

Peng Dogeuk, who had filled a kettle in the kitchen, approached Wei Yanho, who was sitting on a rock.

“What were you doing until this morning?”

“Huh?”

Wei Yanho was expressing with his face: ‘Do you wake me up to ask me that?’ Peng Dogeuk, who understood perfectly, sweated.

“L…sorry.”

“Okay.”

“Wei Yanho sighed. “Even if Peng Dogeuk had made noise, Wei Yanho would not normally have woken up.”

He woke up because he was worried.

‘Am I not going to suffer an attack of madness?’

His mind was full of his own sword.

He couldn’t sleep well, and he saw the sword even with his eyes open.

“Ugh.”

When Wei Yanho scratched his head, Peng Dogeuk served tea and offered it to him.

“Do you have a problem?”

“It looks like you have a problem.”

“…….”

Peng Dogeuk grabbed his chest, as if he had been nailed.

Wei Yanho blew the tea and drank it. Tea was hot, and he felt comfortable.

“Stop wasting your time and tell me. What’s going on?”

Peng Dogeuk sighed and looked at Wei Yanho.

‘Can I talk about my problems with him?’

Wei Yanho was an amazing person.

He was younger than he was, but he had a great martial skill and always acted decisively.

‘I wanted to be like him…’

Although Wei Yanho despises Peng Dogeuk, Peng Dogeuk does not hate him. He is an arrogant and annoying young man, but he has a mysterious charm.

“How do you see me objectively?”

“A useless evil spirit.”

“…….”

“Why? You told me to see you objectively.”

“No. I mean… in more detail…”

“Oh, yeah?”

“Wei Yanho breathed deeply.” Peng Dogeuk looked anxiously at Wei Yanho’s mouth. “What was I going to say?”

“You look good, but you act like a child, you don’t think about the consequences of your actions, you are careless and you don’t think. Besides, you have the ability to make things worse and you always hurt others.”

“…….”

“You are… someone you don’t want to know.”

Peng Dogeuk’s head fell.

“Didn’t you know that?”

“Yes.”

“Then why?”

Peng Dogeuk looked down silently. After a while, with a clear mind, he looked at Wei Yanho and asked:

“What should I do to change?”

“Huh?”

Wei Yanho looked at Peng Dogeuk with amazement.

“Are you asking me for advice?”

“Yes. Don’t you know?”

“No.”

Wei Yanho shook his head firmly. “There was only one person who had asked for his advice.

‘I wonder how Soah will be.’

I didn’t know if Jin Soah would regret telling him about his problems, but I’m sure he’d agree it was reckless action.

“Hahahaha.”

Wei Yanho laughed.

He knew he had problems, but he thought he would just ask him some questions, he didn’t expect me to ask him for serious advice.

If there were a ranking of people who shouldn’t be asked for advice around the world, Wei Yanho would be at the top.

“Do you think I can give you a solution?”

“No.”

“Then why?”

Peng Dogeuk smiled bitterly and said:

“Sometimes, you just need to vent. If I could change with some advice, I would have already done it. I know it’s not easy. But…”

Peng Dogeuk’s expression was very sad.

“I don’t want to get over you, but I don’t want to stay behind. I don’t want to be a proud son, but I don’t want to be a shame to my family. And… I wanted to be someone my older brother could call a brother…”

Peng Dogeuk stopped talking and wiped his face.

“It’s not easy.”

“Hmm.”

Wei Yanho, after listening to Peng Dogeuk, said with indifference:

“Well, are you done?”

“Huh?”

“Can I go?”

“…….”

“Give me another cup of tea. I prefer hot.”

Peng Dogeuk served tea in the empty Wei Yanho cup with an uncomfortable expression. He did not expect it to be so indifferent.

“I seem to have bothered you.”

“Yes. No, it’s good.”

Wei Yanho drank the tea and got up.

“I’m leaving. Train with moderation.”

“Ah, wait a minute.”

Peng Dogeuk arrested Wei Yanho, who was about to return to his room.

“How can you be so confident?”

“Huh?”

“It’s true.”

Peng Dogeuk’s expression was desperate. He had an urgency that was rarely seen in him.

“How can you be so confident? Aren’t you lazy?”

“So what?”

“Everyone will criticize you. Even if they admit it in public, they will criticize you in private. Don’t you know?”

“I don’t know.”

Wei Yanho snapped his tongue.

“People who know me insult me directly.”

“…….”

“Even if they insult me behind my back. What does it matter?”

“Huh?”

“Should I worry about those who don’t have the courage to insult me in public? I can’t do that.”

Peng Dogeuk’s eyes trembled.

How can you have so much self-confidence?

To Peng Dogeuk, Wei Yanho seemed like a person from another world.

“Just one thing…”

Peng Dogeuk waited for Wei Yanho’s response.

“You will not change even after a hundred years.”

“… eh?”

Wei Yanho said with indifference:

“How to change? There is no reason to change.”

“But I’m shy and incompetent…”

“Even if you become someone capable and successful, will others stop waiting for things from you? Will they tell you, ‘Stay the way you are’?”

“…….”

I couldn’t answer.

I knew the answer.

Even if Peng Dogeuk changed, the expectations of others would follow. People tend to set new goals once they reach a goal.

“You feel empty not because you cannot change, but because you are not satisfied with your present self.”

“With me…”

That’s right.

“There are two ways to be satisfied. Set goals and ideals and achieve them, or be satisfied with your current self.”

Wei Yanho shrugged.

“Most choose the first, but the second is also good.”

“But there are no benefits in choosing the second.”

“Peace of mind and the effort that the first option would require.”

Wei Yanho smiled.

“The second option is better.”

“But…”

Peng Dogeuk looked at Wei Yanho and shook his head.

“It’s impossible for me.”

“I never told you to do it.”

“Even if possible, it could not meet the expectations of others.”

“Outlook…”

Wei Yanho yawned, as if he had heard something silly.

“Why do you want to change?”

“……I want to be recognized.”

“By whom?”

“For all.”

He wasn’t a particular person. Although there were people I wanted to impress, it wasn’t just for one person.

He wanted everyone to recognize him.

“Recognition… and after recognition?”

“I will be able to recognize others.”

Wei Yanho smiled.

“That’s the dumbest thing I’ve heard lately.”

“…… eh?”

“You don’t recognize yourself. How can you recognize others?”

Peng Dogeuk’s eyes trembled.

“Recognition must begin with yourself. If I don’t recognize myself, it’s strange to want others to recognize me.”

“Ah…”

“My teacher said that someone who does not love himself cannot love others. Like someone who does not think he deserves to be loved, he cannot accept the love of others.”

“Those are inspiring words.”

“It’s not really like that. He only lives for his own benefit.”

“…….”

“But even dog poo can be used as medicine. My teacher’s words are useful sometimes. So I follow his words. Even if everyone tells me I’m useless, I think I’m a good person.”

Peng Dogeuk clenched his fist.

“Even without the recognition of others?”

“Why do you need it?”

“Recognition is…”

Wei Yanho rose, shaking his hand.

“It’s okay. It doesn’t matter if you don’t accept my words. That’s how I live.”

Peng Dogeuk sighed as Wei Yanho left.

But his face seemed lighter than before.
