Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 77

Chapter 77

I was sure it had to be a bluff.

Someone who didn’t know anything about gambling couldn’t go to a gambling house and earn all that money.

However, it was also a fact that could not be denied.

“At that age I couldn’t have mastered the game.”

How much could that brat have gambled? Besides, the yin and yang game was exclusive to the Golden Flower House. I couldn’t have learned it anywhere else.

Even if he had obtained information in some way, he could not perfectly imitate the weight and material of the iron balls used in his game of yin and yang. In the end, there was no way to cheat.

‘Stay calm.’

He had been carried away by the quiet attitude of the boy before.

Betting was precisely because the result was uncertain. It was common for experienced players to collapse before novices. What fun would it be to bet if you could always win?

– So you’re saying there’s no game, you know that?

“Ah!”

At that time, Wei Yan-ho applauded.

“In fact, there’s a betting game I can make among those I’ve heard mentioned before.”

“What is it?”

Wei Yan-ho smiled with itch.

“Do you know how to play Go?”

***

“Let’s go.”

Wei San-ho diligently collected his belongings.

“…Can’t we just stay one more day?”

“A beggar slept in a real bed, and now he has only become more lazy.”

“Your relatives are not in a position to criticize the laziness of others, are they?”

“I have nothing to say to that.”

Someone who has Wei Yan-ho as a younger brother couldn’t blame the others for their laziness.

“It’s not a family trait.”

“I know.”

Wei San-ho’s stage was famous.

After entering the academy, Wei San-ho was such a diligent fanatic of martial arts that there were rumors that he devoted all his time, except eating and sleeping, to training.

If Jang-il had not seen Wei Yan-ho directly, he would never have believed that such a lazy man could come from Guangdong’s Wei family.

Wei San-ho occasionally said, “My younger brother is an unrivalled slacker under the sky,” but Jang-il had thought those words were just the overly diligent Wei San-ho scolding an ordinary brother.

But to think that there really was a world-class slacker like Wei San-ho’s brother.

‘You never know with people…’

If Wei San-ho had been diligent, perhaps he would have half believed it, but who was Wei San-ho’s father?

Who could believe that Wi Jeong-han’s son, the Righteous Sword Hero, was lazy?

“Are you really brothers in blood?”

“Definitely.”

“Then how are your personalities so different?”

“It’s not just Yan-ho who is different.”

“Hmm?”

Su-ryeon also has a personality completely different from mine. The three brothers have different personalities.

“It seems like a general but also strange story.”

“That’s enough talk, so please get up.”

“Wow.”

Jang-il slowly lifted his torso.

Crack, crack, crack.

“Ah, sleeping in a bed after so long, my back…”

Wei San-ho watched the scene quietly.

All right, I’m up, I’m up!

What a guy who wouldn’t bleed a drop even if he was punctured with a needle.

At least Wei Yan-ho had some human aspects…

When he was with Wei Yan-ho, if he felt irritated, then when he was with Wei San-ho, his chest naturally felt congested and frustrated.

“I really shouldn’t associate with the Wei family.”

At this point, he began to feel personal curiosity about what kind of person the Sword of the Righteous Hero was.

The Sword of the Righteous Hero with great renown throughout the earth was…

“What kind of person is your father?”

“Father?”

Jang-il nodded in silence. “On second thought, wasn’t the best-known Sword of the Righteous Hero here?”

“Father…”

Wei San-ho seemed to think deeply of something before answering.

“He’s a great hero of the world.”

“That’s something everyone knows.”

“A heavenly martial artist.”

“Mmm…”

“And a loving father.”

“…”

It is difficult to define it with words. Sometimes it is like Mount Tai, but without pretensions; it seems cold, but it is a warm person.

So he’s a flawless person? Even if he’s your father, you’re being too generous with the grade.

“It has a fatal defect.”

“What’s that?”

Jang-il slyly pushed Wei San-ho.

If Wei San-ho were to get carried away by the mood and respond, he could get some interesting information.

But Wei San-ho’s response did not meet his expectations at all.

“He is dominated by his wife.”

“What?”

“He is completely dominated by his wife. He would prefer the demonic cult to resurface. There is someone more fearsome than a demonic cult leader at home: our mother.”

“Hahahahaha!”

Jang-il turned around in bed holding his stomach.

The Sword of the Righteous Hero, who was supposedly more terrifying than the messenger of hell’s death for demons and evils, was he dominated by his wife? Did it make sense?

“Really?”

“Yes.”

Wei San-ho nodded immediately.

“Your mother must be a very scary person.”

“Only with a father.”

“Really?”

“For me and my brothers, she is an incredibly warm person.”

“Mmm…”

“What if we get up now?”

Jang-il sat cleverly on the edge of the bed.

“Listen, San-ho.”

“Speak.”

“The sun is already high in the sky, so what if we had lunch first and then left…”

“I knew you used to be interested in sparring, but I didn’t know you’d ask for a fight like this. So we fight before lunch?”

“Let’s go now! What are we wasting time?”

“Tsk tsk.”

Wei San-ho shook his head and followed Jang-il, who ran out of the room. Unfortunately, it seemed that Wei San-ho was not destined to leave immediately.

“Did you sleep well?”

Wei San-ho bowed his head as he met Moon Eun-ji at the door.

He hoped that the accommodation was not uncomfortable during the night. He prepared in a hurry, so I would appreciate it if he understood generously, even if there were any inconveniences.

“Thanks to your consideration I rested placidly.”

Seeing Wei San-ho bowing his head once again, Moon Eun-ji found himself nodding unconsciously.

That’s how people should be!

This is what a person is, this is basic etiquette!

They are brothers of the same womb, but if the older brother knows, why not the younger one?

“Breakfast is ready.”

“I appreciate the consideration, but since we have a long journey ahead, I would like to leave quickly.”

“I understand your desire to look for your brother. However, if there are good manners for the host, is there not also good manners for the guest? My father awaits them. Instead of declining to be busy, how about you approach the arranged meeting?”

Wei San-ho was impressed by Moon Eun-ji’s fresh attitude.

«So she is a noble lady.»

Having always lived among harsh martial artists, the polite but worthy attitude of Moon Eun-ji impressed Wei San-ho very much.

Of course, if Wei Yan-ho had heard this, he would have foamed through his mouth and wondered how he could have so little eye for people.

“She could be a good match for Yan-ho…”

That inhuman brother of yours needed to meet such a capable lady.

But if there had been fate, he would have joined by now.

By the time Wei Yan-ho left this place, the connection was practically cut off.

The guest almost commits another discourteousness that adds to the improperness. Could you allow us to have dinner with your father? I apologize for last night’s inconvenience.

“No need to apologize. My father is waiting for you, so please come.

As Moon Eun-ji walked forward, Wei San-ho nodded and followed him.

Where’d you learn that impaling language?

Wei San-ho realized that his brother was not the only one who needed to learn labeling. This beggar had undoubtedly thrown his manners into the street along with fragments of broken ceramics.

You are also someone who will become the leader of a faction. As much as the Beggar Sect is a gathering of beggars who worship freedom, you can’t always find yourself alone with comfortable people. If you don’t learn a minimum of courtesy and conversation methods that don’t hurt others’ feelings, one day you will face great difficulties.

“Our Mendigo King is worse than me.”

“…”

Wei San-ho closed her mouth.

It’s better to die than to suffer.

“Please come in.”

Moon Yu-hwan greeted Wei San-ho and Jang-il with a kind smile.

As he entered the room, Wei San-ho made a deep bow to show respect.

“I don’t know where to place myself with so much hospitality for unexpected guests. I came to apologize for the troubles caused last night.”

“Excuse me? Such important guests have come, but I apologize for not being able to visit them. I thought it would be better to let them rest, as it was too late.”

“Hey, hey…”

Without saying hello, Jang-il thought deeply of something and then opened his mouth a lot.

“Wait a minute. Are you the director?”

“That’s right. Although I’m missing something, I’m Moon Yu-hwan, director of the Great Hanrim Academy.

“Great Scholar of Third Excellence!”

Jang-il folded his waist ninety degrees and greeted aloud.

“I am the beggar Jang-il! It is an infinite honor to meet the Great Scholar of Three Excellencies!”

Seeing Jang-il’s attitude, Wei San-ho swallowed his surprise.

If that rude beggar was surprised enough to greet him in that way, it meant that the person before him was not an ordinary person.

“It is inappropriate to exaggerate the ceremony. If you raise this incompetent person so high, I will feel very uncomfortable.”

“If the Great Scholar of the Three Excellencies of the world is considered inadequate, shouldn’t a beggar like me jump into the Yellow River and die?”

I’m sure you’re hungry, so let’s eat first.

“Yes.”

Wei San-ho and Jang-il sat down.

The food arranged at the table, although not sophisticated, was tidy and seemed to show what kind of place the Grand Hanrim Academy was.

Wei San-ho could not eat freely because he was feeling uncomfortable with this situation due to Jang-il’s reaction, but as soon as the food appeared, Jang-il literally began to eat like a beggar… no, in a manner appropriate for a beggar.

Chup, chup, chup, chup, chup, chup, chup, chup, chup, chup, chup, chup, chup, chup, chup, chup, chup, chup, chup, chup, chup, chup, chup, chup, chup, chup, chup, chup, chup, chup, chup, chup, chup, chup, chup, chup, chup, chup, chup, chup, chup, chup, chup, chup, chup, chup, chup, chup, chup, chup, chup, chup, chup, chup, chup, chup, chup, chup, chup, chup!

Unable to look further, Wei San-ho stepped firmly on Jang-il’s foot.

“Hey, why are you stepping on someone’s foot?”

Seeing the eyes of Wei San-ho that seemed ready to throw ghostly fire, Jang-il carefully left his chopsticks.

“It was really delicious.”

While Jang-il spoke with a face that had completely lost appetite, Moon Yu-hwan smiled widely.

It’s okay to eat more.

“… beggars like free food, but if they eat too much free food, their stomach hurts because they are beggars.”

Moon Yu-hwan nodded as if he understood, then looked at Wei San-ho and opened his mouth.

“I heard that you are the older brother of the young hero Wei Yan-ho.”

“Yes. I am the older brother of that unworthy. I heard Yan-ho passed by. Like his brother, I apologize for any rudeness that my younger brother has committed.”

“Head, fat? We are people who receive a lot of kindness from your younger brother.”

“Sweetness?”

When Wei San-ho spoke in a tone of misunderstanding, Moon Yu-hwan slowly explained the events that had occurred there.

Wei San-ho’s face gradually hardened as he listened to Moon Yu-hwan’s explanation.

When the explanation finally ended, Wei San-ho suddenly rose from his seat and bowed deeply toward Moon Yu-hwan.
