Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 234

**Chapter 234: The Holgazan is Lighted (4)**

The evenings of the final rounds of a martial arts tournament are often bustling.

For warriors, a tournament is like a festival. Even in Mount Hua, a sacred place, alcohol and meat were allowed, something unheard of.

Chung Yeon, who had decided to use this tournament to make Mount Hua known, had relaxed the restrictions even more. Normally, alcohol was forbidden for the disciples, but visitors were allowed to drink even late.

But even though they would normally have celebrated this, those present were unusually silent.

“Wow.”

Chung Yeon

He plunged into his thoughts as he saw the tranquility of Mount Hua.

Normally, the place would be full of people arguing about the duels, predicting the winner and arguing about what faction would benefit. But now, everyone was drinking in silence, which was frustrating.

‘I understand.’

Chung Yeon

I had also canceled a drinking date that night with the excuse of being busy. He didn’t feel like drinking.

‘They say a small fish can cloud the water…’

A small fish can cloud the water, but a dragon can do it even more, and there was no way to stop it.

The atmosphere of the tournament, which had been so lively, cooled with the appearance of Wei Yanho.

‘Can Soha face it?’

Chung Yeon

He smiled ironically.

“Wei Yanho is stronger than me.”

He should have paid attention when Gong Mujin said that, especially because Gong Mujin never lied.

It was hard to believe, or rather, I didn’t want to believe it. If Wei Yanho, of the Righteous Martial Alliance, was so strong, he feared that Mount Hua could not escape the influence of the Righteous Martial Alliance. His eyes were dampened as he faced reality.

A new problem arose.

“Ugh.”

Chung Yeon

He grabbed his head.

“It can’t be.”

His mind understood it, but his heart did not. How could he accept that this guy was so strong that he was beyond common sense?

“Let’s watch it a little more.”

Anyway, there would be another duel tomorrow. I could judge him after seeing that duel!

Chung Yeon

He decided to go to his room to sleep. He needed to sleep to be able to judge Wei Yanho with a clear mind.

——-

“Aaaaaaaaah!”

Why add another star to the sky when there are already so many?

Chung Yeon

smiled ironically at seeing Wei Yanho turn his opponent into a star.

‘He’s overdoing himself.’

Wei Yanho’s opponent was, by chance, Cho Yeong-hwa () of the Cheongseong sect, also known as the Qingcheng sect, a member of an ancient sect.

Cho Yeong-hwa, who had dominated the Sword of the Blue Sun () and was considered the future leader of Cheongseong, became another star in the sky, proving how incredible Wei Yanho was.

“What kind of grief is this?”

The audience was also surprised.

They expected a fight with flying swords and spiritual energy, but another person was thrown away at the beginning of the duel.

“Was it a coincidence yesterday?”

“Nice can’t throw someone so far away! It’s not something you can do without doing anything.”

“……It’s because it’s too shocking.”

“It’s shocking.”

Those who expected a fight among future leaders were surprised. It’s like going to a dog fight and seeing a lion appear.

Besides…

“Can I go?”

“Yes, yes.”

Wei Yanho began to descend from the battlefield.

“Ugh.”

Those who were nearby frowned.

Of course, the emergence of a strong future leader is a good thing. Perhaps everyone expected this. A tournament where young warriors show their strength and compete to be the strongest is good, but people always expect the appearance of an invincible warrior.

The problem is that this invincible warrior…

“Haaaaam.”

Everyone was furious to see Wei Yanho yawning.

‘What a look!’

His greasy and long hair, his swollen eyes, his fallen shoulders… looked like a servant going to the bathroom, not a warrior who had just finished a duel.

‘At least show some enthusiasm!’

‘It’s not a show of respect for the loser.’

“Haaaaam.”

Some covered their faces when they saw Wei Yanho yawning.

‘How do I explain this to people?’

People expect the appearance of an invincible warrior.

But they hope that this invincible warrior will appear in a dignified manner. If the one who had thrown Cho Yeong-hwa had been a handsome young man in a white robe and an elegant hat, the place would have been boiling.

But the invincible warrior they saw was…

“Can I go to sleep?”

“…….”

The invincible warrior talking about sleeping after returning to the audience.

Those who heard that closed their eyes and their mouths.

“…go away, go away.”

Wei Jeonghan did not seem happy even though his son had done something unprecedented in the history of the martial world. The others also understood his feelings.

Those present looked at Wei Yanho walking slowly into his room, with a deep sense of emptiness.

“The atmosphere is strange.”

Wei Sanho had an expression of disbelief.

“What?”

Jangil asked with indifference.

“Why does everyone react like that after Yeonho has done that? Normally, people would celebrate it.”

“…Sanho.”

“Hmm?”

“Don’t talk about your brother in front of others.”

“Why?”

“If you don’t want to lose your good reputation.”

Wei Sanho shook his head, as if he didn’t understand, looking at Jangil.

“Tsk tsk.”

Jangil couldn’t help but snap his tongue.

‘How can he be so blind?’

Wei Sanho seemed proud of Wei Yanho. Although Wei Sanho is ruthless to others, why does he use a different standard with Wei Yanho?

“Don’t worry.”

“Why?”

“Now they’re in shock.”

“Shock?”

Jangil nodded.

‘I was too.’

The shock Jangil felt when seeing Wei Yanho for the first time was similar to what people now feel.

‘People must have common sense.’

Who would be surprised if a cat showed its claws? But if a sword came out of the cat’s claws, who wouldn’t be surprised?

‘Now that I think about it, this guy is weird.’

Even when Wei Yanho showed a superhuman ability, Wei Sanho was never surprised. Even Wei Jeonghan, his father, was furious to see his son’s sudden change, but Wei Sanho accepted the change as if it were natural.

“You’re not surprised?”

“What?”

“Wei Yanho.”

Wei Sanho shook his head, as if he didn’t understand.

‘It’s true, this guy.’

“If you listen to your father and you, Yeonho was just a useless sloth before he disappeared, but in five years he became an expert who could change the world.”

“He was not completely useless.”

Jangil snapped his tongue at Wei Sanho’s firm response.

‘Incurable.’

“You’re not surprised?”

“Surprised?”

Wei Sanho smiled ironically.

“Do you mean that Yeonho was able to reach this level thanks to an opportunity?”

“No?”

“No.”

Wei Sanho’s voice was full of confidence.

“Even if he hadn’t learned martial arts, Yeonho would have become an expert. Even if he had learned the most common martial arts, he would have become an expert.”

“Is it not the martial arts that matters, but the person?”

“That’s right.”

Wei Sanho nodded. “His confidence in Wei Yanho was unshakable.

“I have told you many times. He is a genius in martial arts. If he dedicated himself to martial arts for five years, it is natural that he has that level of skill.”

“…I understand your opinion.”

I don’t agree, though.

Jangil shook his head.

‘Even so, you should be envious.’

Wei Sanho was known as the best future leader. And although Wei Sanho is about to lose his position before Wei Yanho, he does not seem to regret it.

Even if your brotherly relationship is deep…

‘The Wei family will be unstoppable for a while.’

The only way to stop this monstrous family is to create a dispute between brothers, but Wei Yanho and Wei Sanho do not seem to have any resentment towards each other.

Wei Sanho is strict but loving to Wei Yanho, and although Wei Yanho always complains, he does everything Wei Sanho asks of him.

“Righteous Martial Alliance! Wei Sanho!”

Wei Sanho turned to hear the voice of the battlefield.

“It’s my turn.”

“Sanho.”

“Hmm?”

“Don’t try too hard… think of others.”

“A warrior must give the best of himself, whether in a real battle or in a duel.”

“Yes, but…”

“To say that without knowing the opponent’s ability is disrespectful.”

Jangil licked his lips.

‘This guy has no flexibility.’

This guy is dangerous, but in a different sense than Wei Yanho.

As Jangil watched Wei Sanho climb the battlefield, he saw Wei Jeonghan looking at him seriously.

‘You must be happy.’

When Wei Yanho climbed the battlefield, he had an expression of concern, but when he saw Wei Sanho, he had an expression of satisfaction.

Even Jangil, as a father, would feel the same way.

‘A reliable older child and a troubled but capable younger child…’

Jangil smiled subtly.

‘I must tell King Mendigo to change his assessment of the Wei family.’

He is not only the leader of a region, but he has the power to control the martial world. Although Wei Jeonghan will not seek power, that possibility should not be underestimated.

“If Wei Yanho moves…”

Jangil laughed and turned.
