Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 221

**Chapter 221: The Holgazan, Not Easy (1)**

“Will you give it to me?”

“Yes! I will give it to you! But please don’t withdraw!”

Chung Yeon wanted to cry.

‘No, why’wl does this?’

Saying an expert elder retires sounds good, but it’s also a threat: he won’t intervene in sect affairs anymore, so it’s best you don’t try anything on my behalf.

‘I’m already worried about Tai Chi Sword Sage.’

The Tai Chi Sword Sage of Wudang is a thorn stuck in the eye of Mount Hua, and if the Plum Blossom Sword Saint withdraws, Mount Hua will not be able to challenge Wudang until the Tai Chi Sword Sage dies.

‘I cannot allow that to happen in my time!’

Ten gold coins were nothing, considering the price.

“I’ll give it to you! I’ll give it to you right now! I won’t ask what you’ll use it for. So please take back what you said!”

“Hmm.”

Plum Blossom Sword Saint nodded with satisfaction.

“Leader.”

“Yes, master!”

“Even if you take my money, do you think I will use it for personal matters?”

“…….”

“It’s all for Mount Hua, don’t worry.”

What nonsense are you saying, master?

Chung Yeon wanted to say many things, but he could not. He suppressed his anger and smiled clumsily.

“Is there anything I can do?”

“Hahahaha, I’m glad you understand. So…”

Seeing his hand stretched out in front of his face, Chung Yeon licked his lips with an uncomfortable expression.

“Should I give it to you now?”

“You said you’d give it right now.”

“… just a moment.”

Chung Yeon sighed, entered the room and opened the safe.

‘This is the operating budget…’

The budget always seems abundant at first, but it always falls short at the end. If you spend ten gold coins, you might have to eat only herbs for the rest of the year.

Drying the tears, Chung Yeon pulled ten shiny gold coins out of the safe.

“Here it is.”

The Plum Blossom Sword Saint coughed, took the money Chung Yeon offered him and said, unable to hide his smile:

“This money will be the basis for Mount Hua to reach a new level, do not repent.”

“…Yes, master.”

“Then…”

When the Plum Blossom Sword Saint left merrily, Chung Yeon sighed.

‘What will you do with him…’

Not only the money, but also the worry. What will you do with that big sum of money?

At that moment.

“Ahem.”

A light carraspeo made Chung Yeon turn his head surprised.

‘This is not a good image for others to see…’

“S… Tai Chi Sword Sage?”

Seeing Tai Chi Sword Sage looking at him with an uncomfortable expression, Chung Yeon had several thoughts.

‘Why is he here?’

He knew that the Tai Chi Sword Sage had come to Mount Hua to see the Plum Blossom Sword Saint. But the Tai Chi Sword Sage went to look for the Plum Blossom Sword Saint immediately after greeting him.

‘Did he hear our conversation?’

Even if it were the Tai Chi Sword Sage, the best swordsman in Wudang, entering the room of the leader of Mount Hua in silence was not something that could be overlooked.

When he was about to blame Tai Chi Sword Sage, considering the impact on Mount Hua and his relationship with Wudang, Chung Yeon forgot everything when he heard a voice.

“Leader, I’m sorry, but could you lend me ten gold coins? I will return it to you when I return to Wudang.”

“…”

Chung Yeon looked away.

‘Will it be the beginning of a new era?’

A demon had descended on Mount Hua.

“What a nuisance.”

Wei Yanho was rolling through the bed.

This place was clearly dangerous. More and more people were imposing work on it.

I didn’t understand why everyone was so anxious to do something.

“Don’t you get tired?”

For Wei Yanho, who even breathed at times found it a nuisance to understand others who tried hard was a difficult thing.

But it is true that there are people who strive to do things.

Someone seemed to be circling in front of his room.

♪ Knock knock ♪

As expected, he heard them knocking at the door.

‘Doesn’t he sleep?’

Although it was too early for ordinary people, it was like midnight for Wei Yanho, who was about to fall asleep. Although he knew who it was because of the noise, Wei Yanho had to think.

‘Will he go if I don’t respond?’

It was better to keep quiet than to answer and make things worse.

“I will enter.”

Looks like he wasn’t leaving.

Seeing the door suddenly opened, Wei Yanho could not help but lament the poor conditions of the rooms of Monte Hua, which did not even have a lock.

‘They built the clan on top of a mountain without thinking!’

I didn’t know who had built Monte Hua, but if I had thought a bit, I would have built the clan in the center of a city.

To get to Monte Hua, one had to climb cliffs risking his life, which rich madman would go to Monte Hua to ask for help? There is a reason why Monte Hua is inferior to Wudang.

His thoughts had passed from his own laziness to the direction of Monte Hua’s development.

From Monte Hua’s point of view, one would say, “Do your job right,” but unfortunately, no one in Monte Hua knew what Wei Yanho was thinking.

So they weren’t going to install a lock.

The door opened and Jin Yeran entered.

“What’s going on?”

Wei Yanho asked calmly. Jin Yeran did not seem to think Wei Yanho was sleeping, and replied calmly:

“Mr. Wei Jeonghan is looking for you.”

“My father?”

“Yes.”

Wei Yanho’s expression changed slightly.

“Is it urgent?”

“I…”

Wei Yanho scratched his head.

‘If it were urgent, I would not send this person.’

If it were urgent, he would have come himself. Wei Jeonghan, who enjoyed waking Wei Yanho and turning his bed, would not.

“Ugh.”

Wei Yanho sighed deeply.

Why doesn’t the world leave him alone? Although he had left the cave after much suffering, the world was still cruel to him.

“You’re not going?”

“Ugh.”

Wei Yanho rolled and got out of bed and sighed.

“I’m coming, I’m coming.”

As Wei Yanho walked toward the door, Jin Yeran stretched out his hand to stop him.

“Huh?”

When he looked up, Jin Yeran pulled a towel out of the basket he was carrying and brought it to his face.

“There are other people here.”

“…….”

“Laziness is not bad, but it is not necessary to show it to others.”

Jin Yeran gently cleaned Wei Yanho’s face, smiled and put the towel back in the basket.

“Now go.”

“Yes…”

Wei Yanho scratched his head.

‘I feel a little strange…’

He felt ticklish in his stomach. As he had never before received this kind of consideration from someone other than his mother, he was not used to it.

‘It’s true.’

Wei Yanho’s life has been a series of struggles.

He rebelled against his brother, who tried to train him, was sold as a slave and met his master. Even after leaving the cave, he had to fight and fight.

How many people have shown you kindness?

“Ahem.”

Wei Yanho coughed to relieve discomfort and followed Jin Yeran.

“What’s going on?”

“Other participants have arrived.”

“……What do I care about that?”

“As Young Master Wei is younger than them, I think he wants you to greet them.”

“Huh?”

Wei Yanho’s expression changed dramatically.

“Did you bring me down for that reason?”

“I don’t know.”

“Ugh.”

Wei Yanho continued to complain as he went down from the second floor to the first.

But the interesting thing is that he was going.

‘I don’t want to be beaten.’

Once, when he realized that he had become an expert, he was glad that he did not have to be beaten by his brother or father, but he did not.

His body, which had been beaten since childhood, still shrinks when he sees his father. Not only his father. He also shrinks when he sees his brother, and even more when he sees his mother.

Wei Yanho, who realized the truth that he could not defeat his father no matter how strong he turned, walked with sadness.

“Should I escape when things calm down?”

“Huh?”

“I don’t think I’ll be able to live as I want in Central Plains, where my father and brother are.”

“Ah…”

“Those who practice martial arts live a long time. My father will live seventy more years, and my brother more than a hundred.”

Wei Yanho trembled, as if the idea scared him.

Wei Yanho, who imagined his father breaking into his room when he was an old man and his brother preaching to him, had a serious expression.

‘This is a problem.’

It’s something that could happen.

“If I’m wrong, I could even be reprimanded at the age of 100.”

“That will not happen.”

“You don’t know our family.”

“No. That will not happen. Now you are his son and younger brother, but when you marry and form a family, they will respect you.”

“…marry?”

Wei Yanho shivered when he heard something he had never imagined, but Jin Yeran did not respond.

“Marry…”

Wei Yanho’s expression became serious.

He had never thought about getting married. Lazy people must give up many things. For Wei Yanho, who has no sense of responsibility, keeping a family and raising children is something from another world.

“Is that the only way?”

He had heard something like that, and he seemed reasonable. His father probably wouldn’t beat his son in front of his grandchildren. Even Wei Jeonghan, who enjoys beating Wei Yanho, would have some common sense.

Now that he has money… coldly speaking, this was the best way to end this semi-slavery life.

But…

“I don’t think anyone wants to marry me.”

Wei Yanho did not believe that any woman would want to marry him. Understanding his own position is one of the few virtues of Wei Yanho.

“…there could be someone.”

“Who?”

“There is someone.”

“But who?”

“No, nothing.”

Wei Yanho said stunned to see Jin Yeran move away quickly.

“Why does she leave so fast?”

It was something Wei Yanho would never understand.
