Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 287

Chapter 287: The Lazy Man Returns Home (2)

“Where are you going?”

“Home.”

“Huh?”

Wei Jeonghan’s eyes widened.

“Is it the home I know?”

“Did you go live with another woman? Do you have two homes?”

*Crack*.

Wei Jeonghan trembled at the sound. A wooden cup was broken, and water dripped from his clenched fist.

That could be interpreted as someone who was angry and broke a cup, but the person who broke it was the problem.

“S… Sangah… I said that sarcastically…”

“…I was foolish, sorry.”

A cold aura emanated from Han Sangah.

“Of course. If you think about it, going to a tournament leaving the children… is impossible. Unless you went to live with another woman and rested.”

“…No, wait! Sangah!”

“I’m going to kill this guy!”

Wei Jeonghan dodged the flying chopsticks and cried.

Everyone knew that he had traveled the world to participate in tournaments, where had he settled down with another woman?

‘I’m going to kill him!’

This was all his damn son’s fault, who took advantage of his mistake to put him in a difficult situation. Wei Jeonghan took the initiative before Han Sangah spoke again.

“Why do you want to go home?”

Wei Yanho tilted his head.

“Do you need a reason to go home?”

“…No.”

Wei Jeonghan said in disbelief.

“You said you couldn’t leave when I asked you to.”

“I needed to travel to gain enlightenment.”

“You don’t need to anymore?”

“No.”

Wei Yanho shook his head.

“That’s not it.”

“Then?”

“The world is in chaos, if I travel, I could die.”

Wei Jeonghan and Han Sangah nodded.

No one would leave their house in such difficult times.

“But you said you would have problems if you didn’t gain enlightenment.”

“Thinking about it…”

“Hmm?”

Wei Yanho said indifferently:

“There is no standard for enlightenment. I can’t travel the world indefinitely.”

“…That’s true.”

It wouldn’t be a bad goal for someone with a desire to travel, but Wei Yanho didn’t want to travel, he wanted to stay at his home.

Before, he barely left his room every three days.

Unless he needed to go to the bathroom, what did three days matter? He would have spent a month in his room.

‘Thinking about it, he worked hard.’

It was a long journey for anyone, and Wei Yanho had gone through it. He felt pride for his son…

“T… this isn’t right!”

Wei Jeonghan shook his head.

When he saw Wei Yanho again, he should avoid thinking, “My son is Lazy, so it’s okay for him not to put in as much effort as others.”

If he thought it was okay for his son to do less because he was Lazy, he wouldn’t be able to guide him on the right path.

“If a warrior draws his sword, he must use it. How can you go home after going out into the world with great ambitions?”

“Didn’t I have great ambitions?”

“…Ah, right.”

Don’t forget. That guy is Wei Yanho.

Wei Jeonghan, who realized how extraordinary his son was, was about to speak when Han Sangah spoke first.

“Is there a problem if you return home?”

“Thinking about it…”

“Yes.”

Wei Yanho shrugged and continued:

“Enlightenment means seeing the world and experiencing new things, but it doesn’t necessarily mean traveling. The first place I went was to the Confucian academy.”

“Right.”

“Can’t I feel something at home? I want to feel the difference between my old house and my current home. As my perspective and situation have changed, there must be something new.”

Wei Jeonghan nodded with a satisfied expression.

“That’s a good excuse.”

“You caught me.”

“Hey! Is it possible to gain enlightenment at home? Others spend ten years traveling, why can’t you spend a few months?”

“Is there any guarantee that you can only gain enlightenment by traveling? How do you explain Sakyamuni, who gained enlightenment under a Bodhi tree?”

“…That’s Buddha, not Sakyamuni.”

“Ah… a mistake, a mistake.”

Wei Jeonghan felt sorry seeing Wei Yanho laugh.

“Don’t you plan to study? Warriors don’t need to study, but…”

“Warriors only need to fight.”

Wei Jeonghan didn’t know what to say.

If another young man said that, he could scold him, but Wei Yanho was really good at fighting.

‘What does studying matter? He just needs to be healthy.’

Wei Yanho was fulfilling every parent’s wish.

He is healthy.

Too healthy.

“So you’re going home?”

“Yes.”

Wei Jeonghan’s expression turned serious.

“Do you know the current situation?”

“Yes.”

“You know?”

“Yes, the Demon Cult is attacking. It’s a dangerous situation.”

“…You know it well.”

Wei Yanho smiled and said:

“Then, I must go home quickly. If I’m outside, I could get involved in the war.”

Wei Jeonghan said in disbelief:

“You must protect the Righteous Martial Alliance, not go home. We must fight against the Demon Cult.”

Wei Yanho smiled and looked at Wei Jeonghan.

“Me?”

“Yes!”

“Against that Demon Cult?”

“Yes!”

“Me?”

“…”

Wei Jeonghan sighed deeply.

‘I forgot.’

That was Wei Yanho. Even if he had become stronger, he wouldn’t fight against the Demon Cult if he was Lazy.

‘Wei Yanho is who the Righteous Martial Alliance needs the most.’

What father would want his son to fight against the Demon Cult?

Even if Wei Jeonghan had to return to the battlefield, he didn’t want his children to fight.

Although noble families encourage their descendants to fight, Wei Jeonghan didn’t agree.

People are important, not families. What’s the point of fame obtained at the cost of your son’s life?

The problem is that Wei Yanho’s absence cannot be compensated with Wei Jeonghan’s effort.

‘Wei Yanho can save many lives.’

As a father, Wei Jeonghan didn’t want Wei Yanho to fight, but as a warrior, he needed his power.

“Ugh.”

Wei Jeonghan looked at the ceiling sadly.

‘Will there be other parents like me?’

His son was so powerful that he couldn’t replace him, so he had to stop him.

Other families protect their children, but he seemed to be clinging to his son for fear of fighting alone.

“I understand that you want to go home, but Guangdong is not safe.”

“It will be better than here.”

“…It’s not better than here.”

“Father, your judgment is bad. The Demon Cult is attacking from the Ten Thousand Mountains, Guangdong is safer. Did you forget that the Demon Cult attacked here yesterday?”

“T… that’s true, but…”

Wei Jeonghan began to lose the argument.

What was annoying about Wei Yanho was that, although it seemed like he wouldn’t, he was logical and had good verbal skills. Especially when it came to avoiding problems.

“I want to go home.”

Wei Yanho said indifferently, without listening to Wei Jeonghan.

“…No, Yanho. Listen to your father.”

Wei Jeonghan began to sweat.

What would happen if Wei Yanho went home?

‘They’ll kill me.’

The Supreme Sovereign, the Master of Divine Abilities, and the leaders of the clans and sects would attack Wei Jeonghan. Many had seen Wei Yanho defeat Guangmuliang.

Wei Yanho, who had defeated Guangmuliang, an expert that even the Plum Blossom Sword Saint couldn’t defeat, wanted to leave the battlefield, who would allow it?

Those who don’t know him would try to convince him and be ridiculed, and those who know him…

‘They will attack me.’

It’s obvious.

The Master of Divine Abilities would probably punch his jaw, and the Supreme Sovereign would say, “A father who can’t control his son is useless.”

The leaders of the clans and sects would think that he was doing something secret because he couldn’t control Wei Yanho…

“Aaaaaaaaaah! No! No!”

Wei Jeonghan shouted in fury.

“I won’t allow that to happen! You must come to the Righteous Martial Alliance! No exceptions!”

“Really?”

“Yes! I won’t accept objections! If you consider me your father…”

Before he finished, Wei Yanho looked at Han Sangah.

“Mom.”

“Yes, my son.”

“I want to go home.”

Han Sangah smiled kindly.

“If you want to go home, go. What’s the problem? We’ll leave tomorrow.”

“Yes.”

Wei Jeonghan was speechless seeing them ignore him.

“N… no, Sangah…”

“Why?”

“Yanho shouldn’t leave…”

Han Sangah’s eyes flashed.

“Is that what a father says when his son, who suffered for five years in a cave, wants to go home?”

“N… no…”

“Did you abandon him when he was little? What are you saying? Look closely! I’ll show you how to get dirt in your eyes!”

“…I’m sorry.”

After that conversation, which clearly showed the power of the Wei family, Wei Yanho decided to return to Guangdong after five years.
