Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 253

# 253: The Lazy One Decides (3)

“Don’t you think he’ll lose?”

“But it’s Wei Sanho…”

“And Wei Yanho too.”

The showdown between Wei Sanho and Wei Yanho was an interesting spectacle for the members of the Righteous Martial Alliance.

Or perhaps, even more so for them. They are the ones who know Wei Yanho and Wei Sanho best.

For them, Wei Sanho was an impregnable wall. Some despaired of being born in the same era as Wei Sanho, and others sacrificed their dream to defeat him.

Whether they acknowledged or did not acknowledge Wei Sanho, they could not deny that the name of Wei Sanho, the bearer of the Demon-Expelling Sword, represented the best future leaders of this era.

And now, an extremely dangerous opponent was facing the impregnable wall that was Wei Sanho. The fact that this opponent was his younger brother increased the interest.

“What do you think?”

Jangil shrugged at Ho Cheolsan’s question.

“How would I know?”

“Aren’t you the one who knows them best? You’ve spent a lot of time together and experienced many things together.”

“Yes, but…”

Jangil licked his lips.

‘It’s complicated.’

Based on the events so far, it was difficult to compare Wei Sanho and Wei Yanho. Although Wei Sanho had achieved great status, Wei Yanho, who had appeared less than six months ago, had achieved things that had eclipsed Wei Sanho’s status.

Just with the incidents of breaking through the gates of Luoyang and beheading the two demons, the demons that Wei Sanho had defeated seemed insignificant.

“Normally, Wei Yanho would win…”

“What’s the problem?”

“Your words.”

“Huh?”

“Have you ever seen Wei Sanho give it his all?”

“……”

Ho Cheolsan couldn’t answer.

“Even though Wei Yanho’s achievements are superior, I also think this: Wei Sanho has never found a suitable opponent.”

“A suitable opponent…”

Ho Cheolsan understood what Jangil meant.

If Wei Yanho hadn’t found the assassins of Nasan and the two demons after appearing, would he have received the same evaluation?

People recognize the strong because they have demonstrated their strength. But Wei Sanho has never found an opponent that would allow him to demonstrate his strength.

As a graduate of the academy, his opponents were limited, and although he demonstrated his strength against all of them, he didn’t cause as much impact as Wei Yanho because his opponents were weaker.

Even being Wei Sanho, who is considered possibly the strongest of all time.

“What would have happened if Wei Sanho had fought against the two demons?”

“…It would have been difficult.”

“Well, I’ve never seen Wei Sanho have difficulties. In this tournament, Wei Yanho has defeated everyone in one blow, but what about Wei Sanho?”

Ho Cheolsan said with an uncomfortable expression, as if he had realized.

“One-hit victories, all of them.”

“Yes.”

Jangil nodded.

“Just because it’s not as flashy, doesn’t mean it’s not important. Both Wei Yanho and Wei Sanho are winning with instant victories. Wei Sanho is someone who should win easily, and Wei Yanho is someone who appeared suddenly, that’s why the attention is focused on him. Besides…”

Jangil scratched his head.

“Actually, it’s ridiculous that we’re discussing who is stronger between Wei Yanho and Wei Sanho. What do we know?”

“…True. We must wait to see the result.”

Even those who knew Wei Yanho and Wei Sanho best, excluding their family, could not predict the result.

‘But I think Wei Yanho will win.’

However, three people were almost certain.

Eon Hyo, Peng Dohyeong, and Namgung Hye.

‘Wei Sanho will die.’

‘That ruthless guy will defeat his brother.’

Unlike the older members, who had spent a lot of time with Wei Sanho and knew his strength, these three had been trained by Wei Yanho and knew how powerful he was.

They doubt if Wei Sanho could resist for a second in front of him, but they don’t think Wei Sanho can be thrown to the ceiling by a stone.

“Don’t I think everyone is wrong?”

“About the suitable opponent.”

Eon Hyo said with resignation:

“They don’t know that Wei Yanho hasn’t found a true opponent yet.”

They had seen the true power of Wei Yanho.

With a stone.

Fighting your brother is stressful. It’s even more stressful having to fight seriously with your brother in front of so many people.

And it’s even more stressful when your opponent is someone who used to hit you with a wooden stick when training you.

Wei Yanho, overwhelmed by the pressure… was sleeping as usual.

“Mmm.”

People are usually pressured. Wei Yanho is also human. The problem is that, while normal people are affected by pressure, Wei Yanho simply thinks, “This is stressful.”

Since Wei Yanho was born without fear and with a lot of courage, he didn’t feel half the emotions that others would feel.

Baek Muhan explained this as: “He’s just dumb,” but Wei Yanho’s audacity couldn’t be explained with just that.

Knock knock.

Wei Yanho slowly opened his eyes when he heard the knock on the door.

‘Ugh.’

That’s also a disease.

Lazy people are usually resistant to external shocks. Lazy people don’t wake up easily, even if they’re shaken.

But Wei Yanho, due to his high level of martial skill, reacts immediately to small external shocks. It’s sad that he wakes up with a slight knock on the door.

‘Who is it?’

Wei Yanho knows.

Those who come to his room know that he won’t leave even if they ignore him. Knocking on the door is just a formality, they’ll come in soon.

Even so, he doesn’t answer because he wants to enjoy his rest…

Bang!

Wei Yanho smiled when he saw the door open abruptly.

‘It’s my family.’

Wei Yanho felt the warmth of his family in that abrupt movement.

“Brother!”

Of course.

Wei Yanho turned around when he felt someone running towards his bed.

Thud!

Something heavy fell where he was. Wei Yanho grimaced and shouted:

“Let me sleep! Let me sleep!”

“It’s an important day! You can’t sleep!”

“An important day?! What? Did the demons attack? People need to sleep every day.”

“Brother, that’s an exaggeration. Hmm.”

Wei Suryun didn’t seem to hear what Wei Yanho was saying.

“Why?! Why do you come to bother me in the morning?! Why?!”

Even though he was angry, Wei Suryun was immune to his anger. Even if he shouted, only she would get stressed, not Wei Suryun.

“What are you going to do today?”

“What am I going to do?”

“You’re going to fight with your older brother today. Will you fight seriously?”

“Should I fight pretending?”

“What will you do if you win?”

Wei Yanho smiled.

“Listen, little one.”

“Yes.”

“Fraternal affection is important.”

“Yes.”

“But!”

Wei Yanho said with bright eyes:

“This six-month break is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”

“…It makes no sense.”

Wei Suryun, who could analyze Wei Yanho’s emotions, knew that Wei Yanho was being sincere.

“So you’ll fight seriously?”

“Of course.”

Wei Yanho clenched his fists and got up.

“You don’t know…”

“What?”

“How much I’ve suffered because of my brother.”

“You brought it on yourself.”

“Well, I can admit that there are different opinions about that.”

“There are no different opinions, you brought it on yourself.”

“Opinions are diverse.”

“…It makes no sense.”

Wei Yanho ignored Wei Suryun’s words and continued:

“Today is the day of the revolution! I will rebel against oppression and tyrannical rule and reclaim my right to life!”

“What?”

Wei Suryun looked at Wei Yanho as if he were an insect.

Even though he was her brother, she sometimes doubted his sanity.

“What if you win? Won’t your older brother feel bad?”

“Tsk tsk.”

Wei Yanho clicked his tongue.

“That’s why you’re not mature yet.”

“Why?”

“Imagine I fight him without giving it my all. Do you think he’ll stand still?”

“…He might try to kill you.”

“Yes.”

Wei Yanho nodded.

“He’s very persistent. If I don’t try my best, he’ll never forgive me. I can’t fight without giving it my all.”

“Hmm.”

Wei Suryun nodded.

Wei Yanho was right.

But her heart ached.

‘A sincere duel between brothers.’

It may be an inevitable process for other warriors. But no one in the Wei family thought this would happen.

The heir and the family troublemaker would fight seriously, and Wei Yanho would probably win.

‘I don’t want to see this, no matter who wins…’

She wanted to find a solution, but there wasn’t one.

At that moment, Wei Yanho got out of bed and said:

“There are times when warriors must do things they don’t want to do.”

Wei Suryun looked at Wei Yanho in disbelief when she heard his serious voice.

‘It’s great when he wants to.’

“Bring me food.”

‘Cancelled.’

Wei Suryun’s expression distorted.
