Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 62

Chapter 62

A hero full of incomparable righteousness in the world, and who demonstrated through the famous Ten-Year Martial Tournament that his technique with the sword had reached the peak of mastery.

Although his son, the Evil Sword Horse Wei San-ho, was recognized as the greatest rising star of the later generation and the most important hero of his time, before the name of the Hero Juste Sword Wei Jeong-han, he was still like a firefly before the sun.

Even though the Ghost Lady was the daughter of the leader of the Hao Clan and head of the Kaifeng branch of the Hao Clan, she was not able to face him only because of her background. At the very least, her father, the very leader of the Hao Clan, would have to come to reach rank.

“It is an honor that the Sword of the Righteous Hero has come to visit.”

Ghost Lady bowed her head respectfully.

For now, he had to lower his posture.

Although the Sword of the Righteous Hero was a hero full of justice, for those who went against justice, it was more fearsome than any demon.

“Nice to meet you.”

“What business brings you here?”

“Ah, well, I…”

Wei Jeong-han stuttered a little confused.

I had come thinking that since this was the Hao Clan, some suspicious looking man would appear and I could grab him by the neck and yell at him “Where did my son go?”, but when a young woman appeared instead, she didn’t know what to say first.

“The thing is…”

While Wei Jeong-han doubted, Han Sang-ah, who had been watching him with penetrating eyes, pushed him aside.

“Move!”

“Hey!”

Han Sang-ah scolded Wei Jeong-han like she was exasperated.

“We’re messed up like the devil, why are you stuttering?

“No, Sang-ah. What I meant was…

“Relax!”

“Yes.”

Han Sang-ah turned his head abruptly to look at the Ghost Lady.

The Ghost Lady, who had been bewilderingly observing how the great Just Hero of the Wei Jeong-han Sword was being treated like a neighborhood guy, shook and bowed her head slightly as Han Sang-ah’s gaze turned toward her.

His experience and education were not in vain, as he immediately understood who had the true power here.

“Are you the boss, miss?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“The problem is that… we came to find my son who sent a letter from here.”

The Ghost Lady sighed. “Luckily, this is what I expected.”

“You mean the young master Wei Yeon-ho?”

“That’s right.”

“Young Master Wei Yeon-ho has gone to the Sacred Hand Hall. He should have arrived by now.”

“Sacred Hand Hall?”

“It’s a medical institution in Hubei.”

Han Sang-ah frowned.

“Why a medical institution?”

Ghost Lady shook her head.

“We don’t know much either. We only know that young Master Wei Yeon-ho went to the Sacred Hand Hall in Hubei. Before that, he was at the Grand Hanrim Academy.”

“Great Hanrim Academy?”

“It is an academic institution run by the Grand Academic of Three Excellencies, Moon Yu-hwan. It was there until recently.”

“An academic institution? You say Yeon-ho studied in an academic institution?”

Han Sang-ah’s eyes were wide open, unbelieving. The Wei Yeon-ho she knew would die before going to study at an academic institution.

“In any case, he was there until recently and now he’s gone to the Sacred Hand Hall.”

Han Sang-ah nodded.

Whatever the situation was, if that was what happened, there was nothing more to ask.

Then Wei Jeong-han stepped forward and asked.

“How does the lady know this?”

“Excuse me?”

Wei Jeong-han’s eyes sank.

“My son is so lazy by nature that, even if he had any purpose, he is not one of those who have contact with you separately, young lady. I ask you how do you know that such a child remained in the Grand Hanrim Academy until recently and has now moved to the Sacred Hand Hall.”

Suddenly Ghost Lady’s column cooled.

Wei Jeong-han asked him if he had perhaps been watching Wei Yeon-ho. The answer was simple, but if he did not like it, he could not even imagine what could happen.

Ghost Lady’s mind ran furiously.

She didn’t know how to respond. If Wei Jeong-han deduced that she had been watching him for some purpose, the Ghost Lady might not be able to avoid today’s disaster.

To practice heroism meant, in other words, that countless demons had become wandering souls at the point of the sword. There was no hero without a mortal heart.

“That’s…”

“You better answer honestly.”

The intimidating presence of Wei Jeong-han oppressed the Ghost Lady. It was hard for her to breathe.

Unlike the intimidating presence she had received from Wei Yeon-ho before, she felt a heavy and strong force pushing her.

Craaack!

At that time, a loud sound was heard when Wei Jeong-han jumped out of place.

“Gaaaah!”

Han Sang-ah grabbed Wei Jeong-han’s ear and pulled him back.

Sang-ah, it hurts, I said it hurts!

How many times do I have to tell you to stay out of this!

– No, what I meant was…

“Relax!”

“Yes.”

Wei Jeong-han was discouraged.

Han Sang-ah looked at Wei Jeong-han with a hurtful expression and snapped his tongue.

If an adult woman knows the whereabouts of an adult man, it is obvious what that means. Why do you question her about it?

“Excuse me?”

Ghost Lady found herself asking again without realizing it.

Then Han Sang-ah held the hand of the Ghost Lady firmly with a much softer expression.

“So, our Yeon-ho is in Hubei?”

– Oh, yeah, that’s right.

I see. So, could you tell us exactly where the Sacred Hand Hall is in Hubei?

It’s not very difficult, but…

“Is there a problem?”

“We do not know how long the young hero Wei Yeon-ho will remain in the Sacred Hand Hall. He also did not stay long in the Great Hanrim Academy.”

Han Sang-ah bowed his head.

What did that matter?

“If you have bad luck, the young hero Wei Yeon-ho could leave the Sacred Hand Hall while you’re on your way. So, your trip to the Sacred Hand Hall would be in vain.”

Wei Jeong-han suddenly stepped forward.

“So, couldn’t we just ask the Sacred Hand Hall where he went?”

“If that were possible, it would be lucky, but if the young hero Wei left the Sacred Hand Hall without indicating his fate… it won’t be easy to find him all over Hubei.”

Wei Jeong-han, having spent time in the martial world, understood what the words of the Ghost Lady implied.

“Then, to know exactly where the child went, would we need to borrow the Hao Clan’s information network?”

“I don’t mean that. Guangdong’s Wei family could eventually find him, but we could give a little help to shorten that time.”

“In what way?”

“If one of our intelligence agents accompanies you to verify and report the whereabouts of the young master Wei Yeon-ho as they develop, there will be no chance of losing track halfway.”

Wei Jeong-han looked at the Ghost Lady in silence.

“The price?”

“We’re not looking for those things. However, we want you to remember that the Hao Clan tried to help the Wei Family.”

Wei Jeong-han smiled.

That meant they wouldn’t accept money, but they wanted him to think it was like they owed them a debt.

Others may not matter, but for someone of Wei Jeong-han’s stature, that small debt could be worth hundreds of gold coins.

Smart and quick to assess situations and be so serene before me…

Although his complexion was not good because of nervousness, he was very pleased with how he hid his trembling legs while securing what he needed.

“What’s your name?”

“Mo San-ah. They call me the Ghost Lady.”

“Mo… as I understand it, does the leader of the Hao clan bear that name?

“He’s my father.”

Wei Jeong-han nodded.

“It is not the Hao Clan, but you, young lady, who please me. I am indebted to you, young lady. Within the limits of righteousness and decorum, I will repay you this debt in the future.

The Ghost Lady felt that her forces were exhausted in the face of Wei Jeong-han’s response.

The debt was recognized, but it was limited to her affairs, not those of the Hao clan. Moreover, if it contravened righteousness and decorum, it could not grant any petition.

She had tried to create a debt, but they put too many conditions on her.

‘Even so, this…’

This was none other than the Just Hero of the Wei Jeong-han Sword speaking.

Although there were conditions, his word was worth more than a thousand gold coins.

It could be seen as a significant gain.

“Thank you for the kindness of the Great Hero.”

“I am the one who received goodness. All right. Then who will guide us?”

Then Han Sang-ah snapped his tongue like she was exasperated.

” Tsk tsk tsk. ”

When Han Sang-ah snapped his tongue, Wei Jeong-han unconsciously shrunk back.

“Why now?”

“Don’t you make any sense?”

“What’s the point now?”

“I sigh, how did I end up connected to such a man?”

Wei Jeong-han became infinitely small without understanding why.

Han Sang-ah did not pay attention to Wei Jeong-han and approached Ghost Lady again, holding his hand firmly.

“So how old are you?”

I’m already twenty-six.

Han Sang-ah frowned briefly and then spoke again with a brilliant smile.

“I see. Are your parents okay?”

“My father was in good health, but my mother died when I was young.”

“You must have suffered a lot. Nothing happens. At times like these, there is no reason for these things to be a flaw.”

Ghost Lady sweated profusely with a confused expression.

What the fuck was this situation?

“You, what are you doing?”

Wei Jeong-han, also confused, tried to stop Han Sang-ah. But when his gaze sharpened, he retreated without saying another word and closed his eyes tightly.

“I see. You look pretty fragile, but can you get to Hubei?”

“Excuse me?”

Although Ghost Lady asked confused, Han Sang-ah was unstoppable.

“I appreciate you offering to guide us, but it’s a long trip for you.”

The Ghost Lady, who was about to scream about what nonsense that was, shut her mouth and thought.

Guangdong’s Wei family.

It was not a widely known family in the world, but it was a family that emerged as the sun based solely on the reputation of the Sword of the Righteous Hero Wei Jeong-han and the name Wei San-ho, his son.

“And there’s Wei Yeon-ho.”

Although he had a strange appearance, his martial dexterity was real. As much as Wei San-ho was considered the greatest master of the later generation, he probably could not match Wei Yeon-ho’s martial arts.

If done well, Guangdong’s Wei family could not only rival the Five Great Families, but could be considered the world’s largest family in twenty years.

There would be no way it would be a loss to establish ties with such a family. After calculating it, the Ghost Lady lit up with a radiant smile.

“Don’t worry, ma’am, even if I look like that, I’m pretty strong. I’ll get ready quickly and I’ll be back, so wait a minute.”

The Ghost Lady bowed and rushed out of the room.

Wei Jeong-han approached Han Sang-ah, who watched Ghost Lady with a smile of satisfaction.

“Sang-ah, don’t you think it’s a little excessive?” As far as I can see, that young woman doesn’t seem to have any special feelings for Yeon-ho…

Han Sang-ah looked at Wei Jeong-han with compassionate eyes.

“Do you think Yeon-ho will ever get married?”

“…No.”

Wei Jeong-han responded honestly.

For Wei Yeon-ho, whose life consisted of loitering at home, meeting a woman was impossible. They would have to force them to compromise, but that would be inadmissible. Wouldn’t that make the daughter of another family a young widow?

“When he wasn’t there, there was nothing to worry about, but now that Yeon-ho’s back, we have to start getting ready. He’s an adult too!”

“But that lady…”

“If there is even a small favorable feeling, we can work with it.”

Wei Jeong-han ran out of words.

If you don’t dislike it, you will get attached to frequent meetings, and by moving together as families, you will develop a natural affection… There are many possibilities. Being a little older is a flaw, but she is smart and beautiful, so we have to accept the age difference. As our son is lazy and pathetic, he could not with anyone less intelligent than her.

Wei Jeong-han looked at Han Sang-ah with trembling eyes.

Mothers were strong.

Shortly afterwards, the Ghost Lady, unaware of anything, returned with her luggage ready. Seeing the two women smiling radiantly, Wei Jeong-han closed her eyes tightly.

Thinking of Wei Yeon-ho, who would have to handle them both, his heart felt heavy.

For men, women were always scary beings.
