Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 264

Chapter 264: The Lazy Receives Acclaim (4)

“Huh?”

Wei Yanho tilted his head at the sight of Peng Jo-yeon, formerly known as Peng Chaoyeon, attacking him.

‘Why is this guy doing this?’

He thought about what he had done wrong, but he couldn’t find anything. All he had said was true.

‘Ah, I see.’

As Ho Cheolsan said, there are many people who don’t like hearing the truth. If something he said bothered him a lot, he might get angry.

But…

“Don’t you think drawing your sword is a bit much?”

He hadn’t said anything that deserved a fight to the death, so he felt a little annoyed to see Peng Jo-yeon attacking him with his sword.

‘No. This is a disease.’

Wei Yanho shook his head, about to get angry.

Attacking like this for something so small wasn’t just a personality problem. A normal person wouldn’t act like this. So, it must be a personality disorder.

Thinking that, his attitude changed.

Not only can the body hurt, people with emotional pain are also sick. Jin Yeran took care of patients so carefully. Wei Yanho, who had seen her, couldn’t ignore the patients.

Patients need treatment.

How would Wei Yanho treat this patient?

‘Why can’t I?’

Wei Yanho respected old sayings. There is wisdom in old sayings. Wei Yanho had a favorite saying.

“For dogs and madmen, a stick is the medicine.”

Wei Yanho drew his sword.

“I won’t forgive you!”

Peng Jo-yeon, with bloodshot eyes, seemed to be truly insane. Wei Yanho’s sword met his sword.

*Kwang!*

A loud sound echoed as the swords clashed. At the same time, a great commotion shook the building. Peng Jo-yeon jumped back and looked at Wei Yanho with a stunned expression.

Falling tiles echoed in the silent room.

‘Huh?’

Peng Jo-yeon’s face flushed red.

‘What have I done?’

He had gotten angry and attacked, but after the first blow, he regained his composure.

He had come here after hearing that Wei Yanho had struck the Dark King.

Although rumors are usually exaggerated, it is true that Wei Yanho defeated the Dark King.

Why did he attack Wei Yanho?

His power was similar to that of the Dark King. Although he couldn’t say it out loud, honestly, he couldn’t defeat the Dark King.

It’s not that he was much weaker.

His weapons were too direct to face a Dark King who used hidden weapons and poison. The sword is a direct weapon, a man’s weapon.

Although a sword can be wielded lightly, weaknesses exist.

‘But it doesn’t change anything.’

Even if he could say it was a disadvantage, the fact that his power was similar to the Dark King didn’t change. Although he was ashamed, he couldn’t say he was stronger.

And he had attacked someone who had defeated the Dark King.

‘I’m doomed.’

Peng Jo-yeon finally began to understand the situation.

He looked around and saw people looking at him with expectation. And many looked at him with pity.

He had attacked someone who had defeated the Dark King, and the result was obvious.

‘Don’t look at me like that.’

Why did he have to do this in front of so many people? Considering his position and social reputation, it was almost impossible to fix things after attacking first.

Then, Wei Yanho should retreat…

“Aren’t you going to attack?”

Wei Yanho waved his sword and began to approach slowly.

‘I’m doomed!’

Peng Jo-yeon wanted to cry.

After exchanging a single blow between experts, one can assess the situation.

He blocked a blow launched with all his anger with a single sword movement?

That’s impossible between opponents of equal level.

‘The tavern will be very lively tomorrow.’

Rumors that Wei Yanho, the new star of the martial world, had defeated the Dark King and Peng Jo-yeon would spread everywhere.

And he wouldn’t be able to show his face for years, and the reputation of the Peng family of Hubei would collapse.

‘My bad temper has caused this.’

He should have listened to his late father, who had warned him that his bad temper could cause problems for the family.

“Aren’t you going to attack?”

Wei Yanho approached with an unpleasant expression.

There aren’t many people with such an unpleasant expression. It’s not that his face is unpleasant, but his expression. How can he convey so much anger with his expression?

“You seem to have personality problems.”

“……”

It’s true, but…

“Don’t worry. I have experience.”

“Huh?”

“I used to have a bad temper, but I got better after meeting my master.”

Ho Cheolsan opened his mouth.

He improved!

What was he like before?

How bad was he before to say that his current personality is an improvement?

“Do you know how I improved?”

“Hmm?”

“I got beaten for five years. My bad temper disappeared, and I became kinder. But you seem to have a worse temper than I did before, and we don’t have much time, so you need a more intense beating. Don’t worry, I’ll do my best.”

“No, no…”

It was a statement that he would beat him until his personality improved.

“Are you coming or am I coming?”

When Wei Yanho started to approach, Peng Jo-yeon started to sweat.

At that moment, Peng Jo-yeon heard a voice he didn’t want to hear.

“Father!”

“Hmm?”

Turning around, he saw Peng Dohyeong running towards the door with a pale face.

“Dohyeong?”

“Yes, Father. What is this?”

Seeing Wei Yanho with his sword, Peng Jo-yeon with his sword, and Ho Cheolsan looking at them with a pale face, it was easy to guess the situation.

‘Disaster!’

Peng Dohyeong’s eyes began to tremble.

Of course, his father was like a god to him. But sometimes an objective perspective is needed, and if Wei Yanho and Peng Jo-yeon fought, the result would be obvious.

‘I must stop them!’

But how?

Peng Dohyeong swallowed and looked at Wei Yanho. Wei Yanho was someone who never forgot a small grudge.

And he was extremely vengeful. How could he stop him?

“Lord Wei, calm down…”

“Huh? I’m not angry.”

“……Huh?”

“I’m not angry. I’m just returning the blow I received.”

“……A blow?”

Peng Dohyeong looked at Peng Jo-yeon, who nodded awkwardly.

‘Why did you do that?!’

It would be better if you had thrown yourself on the ground! Anyway, you’ll only embarrass yourself, why did you attack Wei Yanho, Father?

“Ha ha ha, it seems there’s a misunderstanding…”

“Also, Father, it seems you have personality problems, so you should improve your personality.”

He has problems.

He had to admit it. His father had serious personality problems. He thought that perhaps it would be beneficial if his bad temper improved.

‘No.’

But this wasn’t just a problem for his father. It could be an embarrassment for the entire Peng family of Hubei.

“Calm down.”

“I don’t have to calm down. Step aside.”

“Lord Wei, if you cause more trouble, Lord Wei Jeonghan won’t forgive you.”

Wei Yanho shuddered.

And a serious internal struggle began on his face.

“Even if I say I only returned the blow, he’ll scold me.”

Wei Yanho shook his head, disgusted with the idea.

“So calm down. You can talk it over. My father is very sorry.”

“He?”

“That’s his expression of regret. His expression almost never changes…”

“How complicated.”

Wei Yanho smiled and said:

“Do you know why my father scolds me?”

“…What?”

Wei Yanho scratched his ear and said:

“If I hadn’t done something that angered him, would he be scolding me? He does it because he knows he’ll get angry.”

“…”

Peng Dohyeong was speechless.

“That’s how people are. We should only do good things, but is that being human? That’s being Confucius. If everyone lived like that, who would say that Confucius or Buddha are amazing? They would just be ordinary people. It’s because they can’t do it that they are considered amazing.”

Is that so?

“So, what I want to say is!”

Wei Yanho raised his sword and laughed.

“Forgiveness is easier than permission. It’s easier to do something and worry about the consequences later. Remember this. It’s a truth of life.”

‘Who lives like that?!’

But Peng Dohyeong’s scream didn’t come out. Before he could speak, Wei Yanho wielded his sword towards Peng Jo-yeon.

*Flash!*

The bright sword began to strike Peng Jo-yeon.

“Kuh!”

Peng Jo-yeon raised his sword to block.

And at that moment, a resonant voice sounded:

“Yanho! What are you doing?!”

Wei Yanho, seeing Wei Jeonghan running from afar, hurriedly said:

“I must hit him quickly!”

Normally, the fight would end there. Not quickly, damn it!
