Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 245

**Chapter 245: The Lazy Scammer (5)**

“But…”

Gong Mujin narrowed his eyes and stared at Wei Yanho’s mouth. The black blood looked strange to him.

‘Is Wei Yanho vomiting blood because of Tang Jong-ui’s poison?’

He, who had been close to Wei Yanho, knew.

That was impossible. He would rather believe that a dragon had died from a bee sting than believe that Wei Yanho had been poisoned by Tang Jong-ui.

Experts are not experts by chance. They can easily overcome any poison, that’s why they are experts.

But Wei Yanho, one of the top experts, was suffering from Tang Jong-ui’s poison.

‘Is it a ploy?’

Moreover, despite the blood running down his mouth and chest, Wei Yanho’s expression was good. In fact, he was smiling.

Gong Mujin grabbed his head when he saw Wei Yanho smiling. To others, Wei Yanho’s smile with blood in his mouth would be strange, but to Gong Mujin, it was chilling.

‘There must be a grudge I don’t know about.’

There are people who show grudges and people who don’t. Wei Yanho, in Gong Mujin’s opinion, was someone who hid his grudges, but he was someone who never forgot even minor grudges.

That explained everything. If Wei Yanho had a grudge against Tang Jong-ui or the Tang family, he wouldn’t settle for simply hitting him. If he was poisoned, he would have destroyed those responsible.

‘The only good news is that he is too Lazy to go to Sichuan.’

Gong Mujin decided to warn the leader about that guy’s actions. No one knew Wei Yanho better than him.

Wei Yanho had done what no one expected.

At that moment, Chung Yeon, also known as Chung Hyeonja, was also looking at Wei Yanho with concern.

‘What a mess.’

It’s as if a fish had jumped into a calm pond. Chung Yeon was not happy to see the tournament in chaos.

‘This tournament was organized for the glory of Mount Hua, what’s going on?’

Chung Yeon frowned as he saw the cheers for Wei Yanho.

Until now, everyone looked at Wei Yanho with disdain. They knew he was strong, but since he appeared suddenly, people couldn’t sympathize with him.

Also, his strength was incomparable, so they knew he was strong, but they didn’t know how strong he was. But…

“It’s deafening.”

He could hear the cheers.

The scene of Wei Yanho spitting blood because of his opponent’s ploy and still winning stole people’s hearts.

In addition, he had defeated Tang Myung, so his strength had been proven. Warriors dream of defeating cowards and villains with their strength.

And that happened in a tournament with many future leaders. People couldn’t help but get excited.

“The best!”

“He defeated that villain!”

“I feel so satisfied!”

“Wei Yanho! Wei Yanho!”

The crowd was cheering as if it were a festival.

Of course, they weren’t sincere. They were just expressing their emotions…

‘That becomes sincerity.’

People are strange, sometimes emotions control reason. Now it’s just emotion, but if this continues, they will really support Wei Yanho.

It’s good for a future leader to have strength and popularity, but not if that future leader is Wei Yanho.

Wei Yanho’s strength is already a real threat.

‘What should I do?’

Chung Yeon thought he needed a plan.

Not only Wei Yanho, but also the fact that Wei Yanho won had a lot of meaning. His plan to break free from the influence of the Righteous Martial Alliance could lose its legitimacy.

If they can’t handle a future leader of the small Wei family, what kind of ancient clans are they?

‘Righteous…’

If Wei Yanho had been from the Righteous Heavenly Alliance or another organization, he could have been used as evidence of the Righteous Martial Alliance’s loss of influence, but the problem was that Wei Yanho was from the Wei family, which belongs to the Righteous Martial Alliance.

Chung Yeon saw Wei Jeonghan smiling in the distance.

He had taught many disciples of Mount Hua, but none were as good as Wei Sanho, how lucky was Wei Jeonghan to have Wei Sanho and Wei Yanho as sons?

‘Did he save the country in a past life?’

It wasn’t just luck. He was so lucky that he had used up all his luck, and he would die suddenly tomorrow.

“Ugh.”

Chung Yeon turned around when he groaned, and Gong Mujin approached.

“Leader, a moment.”

“Hmm?”

Chung Yeon nodded as Gong Mujin pointed to a quiet place.

Now it was clear. Who knew Wei Yanho best? If he had trusted Gong Mujin from the beginning, things wouldn’t have gotten to this point.

So he had to listen to Gong Mujin. Chung Yeon, who left with Gong Mujin, began to speak.

“What’s wrong?”

“How will you handle the matter with the Tang family?”

“Tang Jong-ui?”

“Yes.”

Chung Yeon did not speak hastily. If he had really used poison outside the battlefield, there would be no excuses. But Chung Yeon also felt something strange.

“Even if he used poison, would he use so much? If Tang Jong-ui wasn’t a fool, he wouldn’t use such an effective poison in front of so many people.”

“I think so too.”

“Then we will investigate this incident to prove Tang Jong-ui’s innocence?”

“No.”

Gong Mujin shook his head firmly.

“That’s the worst option. Why should we do that? It’s bad to antagonize either of them.”

“True.”

“And if he had to choose, he would choose the Wei family over the Tang family.”

“……That much?”

He thought it was too much to choose the Wei family, a new power, over the Tang family, an ancient clan.

How many members of the Tang family were there? Even with the servants, the Wei family, which had less than twenty members, was no match for the Tang family.

‘No no.’

He had suffered from ignoring Gong Mujin before. He had to accept that common sense did not apply to the Wei family and Wei Yanho.

“You mean the Wei family is stronger than the Tang family?”

“Rather… because the Wei family is reliable.”

“Reliable?”

“Yes. Wei Jeonghan and Wei Sanho are reliable. They are people who return favors and have principles.”

“But they are from the Righteous Martial Alliance! Will they help us after we have abandoned the Righteous Martial Alliance?”

“Of course.”

“How are you so sure?”

“Because the Wei family is not strongly tied to the Righteous Martial Alliance. If Wei Jeonghan was strongly tied to the Righteous Martial Alliance, would he have been absent for more than ten years?”

“Hmm…”

“Wei Jeonghan is righteous, but he doesn’t like belonging to a place or taking on responsibilities. According to rumors, he left his children when they needed him.”

“True.”

“In my opinion, the Righteous Martial Alliance and the Wei family are connected by the personal friendship between Sima Tianse and the Sword of the Righteous Hero, it is not a relationship of belonging.”

Chung Yeon nodded, as if he agreed.

If Wei Jeonghan was someone like the wielder of the Sword of the Righteous Hero, he should have a position in the Righteous Martial Alliance, but he doesn’t. That’s strange.

“So we should support the Wei family?”

Gong Mujin shone.

“The Tang family cannot ignore this humiliation. If the opponent was invincible, they would accept defeat, but the Tang family will not consider Wei Yanho invincible. Won’t they move?”

“True.”

“Wei Yanho doesn’t ignore those who attack him either. Since they were the ones who attacked him first, he will probably try to take revenge. This is part of that.”

“The two clans will clash, and if we have to choose a side, we should support the Wei family?”

“Yes. And it will be difficult for the Tang family and the Wei family to clash directly. It will be a war of attrition, and since the Wei family is small, they are invincible. The Tang family, which sends warriors one by one, will lose and retreat.”

Chung Yeon nodded, as if he understood.

“You’re right. But leading is not easy. If we support one side and the result is the opposite, we will suffer.”

“Hmm.”

“Sometimes, not seeking small gains avoids big losses. Remember this.”

“I will remember it.”

“But…”

Chung Yeon sighed and said:

“If possible…”

“Eh?”

“Ugh.”

Chung Yeon said with disgust:

“Can you arrange a meeting with Wei Yanho?”

“Leader!”

Gong Mujin shouted in horror.

“Leader! There are people you should avoid, not out of fear or disgust, but because they infuriate you. It could affect your purity! Please, withdraw.”

“……I understand what you mean, but sometimes it is inevitable.”

“Leader.”

“Arrange a meeting.”

Gong Mujin closed his eyes when he saw Chung Yeon with an unusual expression.

He decided to prevent Wei Yanho from causing trouble at this meeting. But he knew it wouldn’t be easy.
