Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 217

**Chapter 217: The Holgazan is Examined (2)**

♪ Swish! ♪

That sword was clearly different from the previous ones.

Eon Hyo, who had experienced his sword moments earlier, involuntarily shouted, “How unjust!”, so quick and sharp was. Even Eon Hyo, who had no affection for Wei Yanho, felt that Cheonggongja’s sword was full of intent to eliminate Wei Yanho.

However, Wei Yanho only looked at Cheonggongja’s sword with his eyes wide open.

♪ Whoosh! ♪

The power of the sword thrown by Cheonggongja flew into the face of Wei Yanho. The sound of the sword cutting the air resounded in his ears.

“That’s it!”

At that moment, the spectators opened their eyes with horror.

Those with a low level of martial skill observed the situation without understanding, but those who knew the meaning of Cheonggongja’s attack rose from their seats with surprise.

That attack was not for a future leader.

Chung Yeon’s body, the leader of Monte Hua, trembled.

‘It can’t be.’

As much as he was angry, Cheonggongja was not someone who would try to kill a future leader in this place. He felt a tension in his legs, but he was forced to control himself.

If he intervened at this time, Cheonggongja’s reputation and Monte Hua’s authority would collapse.

As the power of the sword approached Wei Yanho, many thoughts crossed Chung Yeon’s mind.

And Wei Yanho, who received the attack, opened his mouth when he saw the power of the sword flying toward his face. He was so surprised that his hand holding the sword did not move.

Wei Yanho’s mouth opened even more.

And then…

“Haaaaaaaam!”

Wei Yanho yawned, with a tear in his eye, right in front of his face, the power of the sword changed direction and passed by him.

“Hmm.”

Wei Yanho wiped his tear with his sleeve.

‘Shame?’

Cheonggongja could not understand his state of mind.

Dodge the sword?

That’s possible.

It was an attack to surprise him. I had no intention of hurting him. The power of the sword was designed to pass by him after surprising him.

So, even if his body was paralyzed by fear, he would naturally dodge it.

‘Shame?’

What is yawning?

Yawning is inhaling air to wake up when the body is extremely tired. But yawns when the energy of Cheonggongja’s sword is about to strike him?

‘What kind of person is he?’

Cheonggongja couldn’t understand it.

Was he not afraid, or was he too foolish to understand the situation?

Or…

‘An absolute teacher?’

Cheonggongja laughed.

His way of thinking was becoming as absurd as the person he was facing.

But Wei Yanho, unknowingly, yawned quietly.

♪ Crack! ♪

A vein jumped on Cheonggongja’s forehead.

“I don’t know if it was skill or luck, but I congratulate you for not scaring you with my sword.”

Wei Yanho nodded slowly at Cheonggongja’s words and said:

“So I’m approved?”

“Huh?”

Cheonggongja said with disbelief:

“Approved after just a second?”

Cheonggongja did not understand what Wei Yanho was saying, but Wei Yanho asked as if he did not understand:

“Am I not approved?”

“Of course not. You must resist two more attacks to approve.”

“What?”

Wei Yanho looked at him furiously.

“I’ve heard many times that Mount Hua is fair, but now I know it’s a lie. They say there’s no one to trust, and I didn’t expect Mount Hua, one of the old schools, to change its mind.”

“What, what are you saying, brat!”

Cheonggongja’s face turned red.

It wasn’t just him, it was Monte Hua. I could ignore personal offenses, but I couldn’t tolerate the offenses to Monte Hua.

“Shouldn’t the test be fair?”

“What, are you saying I wasn’t fair?”

“Yes.”

“Why? Because I attacked you hard? That’s it!”

“No.”

Wei Yanho interrupted Cheonggongja and said:

“It’s not because you attacked hard. Although there seems to be some emotion, I’m understanding, my teacher said it’s the hardest thing to launch the same attack with the same force several times.”

Why is it difficult to launch the same attack with the same force several times?

Isn’t that the easiest thing?

He wondered for a moment, but it was not the time for that. Wei Yanho continued:

“The problem is that different assessments are being given to the same situation. Is it not discrimination? Or are they favoring the disciples of the famous schools and sects?”

“Favor!”

Cheonggongja’s eyes were wide open.

Although he was not the best swordsman in Monte Hua, he had always prided himself on his justice. Wei Yanho’s words were denying his way of life.

“Tell me what is different. If you don’t convince me, I will punish you personally.”

Chung Yeon, the leader of Monte Hua, muttered to see that the situation was becoming serious.

‘This in the qualifiers…’

The atmosphere intensified. Many people were looking to see the outcome of the discussion between Cheonggongja and Wei Yanho.

“…that guy is…”

Wei Jeonghan covered his face.

He had lost the moment to intervene. If he intervened now, it would be an offense to Cheonggongja. He had no choice but to see the result.

“What’s the problem!”

When Cheonggongja shouted, Wei Yanho shrugged.

“See that one?”

“Huh?”

Wei Yanho’s hand pointed to Eon Hyo, who had passed the test. Cheonggongja shook his head, and Eon Hyo looked at Wei Yanho with a pale face.

‘Why are you attacking me again?’

Cheonggongja asked with disbelief:

“Did that kid cause any trouble?”

“No, he did well. But…”

Wei Yanho snapped his fingers.

“He did not have to receive another attack because he had avoided an attack that exceeded the test criteria, why should I, having avoided that attack, receive another one? If you are not blind, you can see that the attack I received was more powerful than the one he avoided.”

Eon Hyo nodded unintentionally.

‘It’s true.’

If the attack Eon Hyo had received was a stream, the attack Wei Yanho had received was the Yangtze River. They were of different levels.

“No, that’s…”

Cheonggongja ran out of words.

If he said, “I increased the force of the attack to scare you, but I had no intention of hitting you,” he would become someone who had hurt a participant because of his personal feelings.

‘Shit!’

Cheonggongja’s face became pale.

Although others knew it, saying it out loud was different. That’s the way the world is. Things that are ignored can become a big problem if they are formally posed.

Cheonggongja realized that he had fallen into a trap.

Continue the test, as it was an attack with emotion, or let it go, as Wei Yanho had dodged it.

What should I choose?

“C… sure, you dodged my attack. But…”

Cheonggongja began to sweat.

It looked like everyone was looking at his mouth. Although there was evidence in other training camps, no one was looking away.

Even the elders who were watching the tests at the training camp next door were looking at him, and…

‘L… leader.’

Chung Yeon, the leader of Monte Hua, was looking at him with a terrible expression.

His words would decide people’s opinion of Monte Hua.

“…Yes, you dodged it.”

Cheonggongja swallowed saliva.

If the news spread that Cheonggongja had been unjust in his trial, the consequences would be unmanageable.

Cheonggongja lowered his shoulders and said:

“But… could you get another attack?”

The reason I couldn’t approve.

If he approved Wei Yanho here, and Wei Yanho lost in the main tournament, people would say that the criteria for the qualifiers were incorrect.

A dilemma.

I couldn’t do anything.

“An attack?”

“S… yes. If you resist one more attack, you will approve.”

Wei Yanho looked at Wei Jeonghan.

“Father.”

Why did you call him?

Wei Jeonghan, realizing that Wei Yanho was causing trouble, answered with a trembling voice:

“…what, what, brat?”

“You must strive harder.”

“Huh?”

Wei Yanho sighed.

“Jinju only had to resist an attack to pass, but we, even after resisting a stronger attack, must continue to be examined. This is because you have not been able to improve your reputation.”

“…….”

Wei Jeonghan ran out of speech.

What was I supposed to say?

I said what I said.

‘Now that I think about it, I’m angry.’

Wei Yanho was right. Why did Eon Hyo pass after resisting only one attack, but his son must continue to be examined after resisting a stronger attack?

‘It doesn’t even need to be examined!’

Wei Jeonghan had always been worried about Wei Yanho, but that was only at home. Realizing that his proud son was being despised, Wei Jeonghan’s expression became severe.

“I have been careless and put you through this.”

“Okay.”

“I will see how fair Mount Hua is. Not as leader of the Righteous Martial Alliance, but as leader of the Wei family, I will observe the response of Mount Hua. Participate in the test.”

Wei Yanho drew his sword.

“Wei Yanho of the Wei family obeys his father’s orders.”

The air got cold.

As the situation had become a battle of pride between Mount Hua and the Wei family, the crowd watched with interest.

How would Cheonggongja respond?

Cheonggongja, who had been looking at Wei Yanho and Wei Jeonghan, spoke slowly:
