Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 290

Chapter 290: The Lazy Returns Home (5)

“A new era of chaos…”

The Supreme Sovereign Sima Tianse closed his eyes with a somber expression.

‘Must we repeat that terrible catastrophe?’

He had already seen enough battlefields stained red. It was not something a human should see.

But the Master of Divine Abilities said that era of chaos would return.

“If I only predict the future without offering solutions, I don’t deserve my position. I won’t stand idly by, so don’t worry too much.”

“It must be so.”

But the Supreme Sovereign’s expression didn’t change.

‘If I could prevent that terrible world from returning, I would sacrifice my life without hesitation.’

The war against the Demon Cult had left deep wounds in the martial world. The wounds had barely healed, and a new war would reopen them.

That must not happen.

“Fortunately, things didn’t go according to their plans, so we’ve gained time. If we use this time well, we might be able to stop them.”

“Wei Yanho did a great job.”

Supreme Sovereign laughed.

Without children, he felt more affection for Wei Yanho than for a nephew. He was the son of Wei Jeonghan, whom he considered like a brother, how could he not like him? He was adorable, and also, he was a great warrior.

“He defeated the Dark King?”

“They say he defeated Dowan as well.”

“Hahaha, although Dowan’s defeat is a shame, the Dark King’s defeat is excellent. The arrogance of the Righteous Heavenly Alliance has been reduced.”

“Also, they say Wei Yanho stopped Guangmuliang.”

“Guangmuliang?”

“They say he’s one of the cult’s bishops.”

“…He stopped a bishop of the Demon Cult? He defeated him?”

“Yes. Although he’s not one of the old and powerful demons, the position of bishop isn’t reached without skill…”

“They were inhuman.”

The Supreme Sovereign trembled as if he didn’t want to remember them. The bishops of the Demon Cult were experts with great power and reputation.

Although the Supreme Sovereign hadn’t seen their power, he knew they weren’t weak.

“So, Wei Yanho defeated a bishop.”

“That’s right.”

“Hahaha, that kid is incredible.”

The Supreme Sovereign smiled. The Supreme Sovereign was one of those who knew Wei Yanho’s power best.

‘So powerful?’

But he had doubts.

The power of Wei Yanho that he had seen wasn’t enough to defeat a bishop of the Demon Cult. So, Wei Yanho was more powerful than he thought, or the bishop was weaker than he thought… both were good news.

“Also, thanks to him, we were able to stop the ambitions of Baekgeom Fortress.”

“Stop?”

“What else did they want besides showing their power by defeating the Demon Cult? But Wei Yanho defeated the Dark King and Guangmuliang, so now Wei Yanho is famous. Isn’t that good?”

“Yes, yes. Hahahaha!”

Both laughed.

“Hahahaha. That’s right.”

The Supreme Sovereign, who had been laughing, frowned.

“Wait a moment. Should we be happy?”

“…Huh?”

“Don’t you think he did that on purpose? So, their plans were ruined…”

“True.”

“So, who guarantees us that we won’t suffer that bad luck? Should we trust him?”

The Master of Divine Abilities began to speak with difficulty.

‘Why are you asking me that?’

Although the Master of Divine Abilities could see thousands of kilometers away, Wei Yanho was… like an eel in the mud. It’s difficult to see him, and if you try to catch him, you’ll get dirty.

“Jeonghan’s son is adorable… but…”

That adorableness was sometimes scary.

The Supreme Sovereign shook his head.

At that moment…

“There’s a problem!”

A loud voice was heard from outside.

“What’s wrong?”

Jo Hyeon asked calmly. Superiors must not be impatient just because subordinates are nervous. He had to remain calm no matter what.

“The Red Hawk has arrived.”

“Red Hawk?”

Surprise appeared on the face of the Master of Divine Abilities, who was trying to remain calm.

“If it’s the Red Hawk… is it Wei Jeonghan? Bring the Red Hawk!”

“Yes.”

The Master of Divine Abilities groaned.

The Red Hawk was a messenger hawk specially trained by the Righteous Martial Alliance. It was a peregrine falcon imported from the east, specially trained.

Messenger pigeons are mostly fiction. Although they can be used, they are difficult to use. If a hawk or an eagle eats the messenger pigeon, the information is lost.

But the Red Hawk was an extraordinary hawk. Although it is a bird, they can use their instinct to return to the Righteous Martial Alliance, but they cannot return to the place from where they were sent.

An emergency one-time use messenger hawk.

The fact that the Red Hawk had arrived meant that there was an urgent problem.

‘The fact that they used the Red Hawk, which they didn’t use when the Demon Cult attacked Mount Hua, means that Wei Jeonghan cannot solve the problem.’

If Wei Jeonghan, Wei Yanho, and Wei Sanho couldn’t solve it, it was a big problem.

The Master of Divine Abilities anxiously awaited the Red Hawk.

“Here it is!”

The Master of Divine Abilities stood up upon seeing the subordinate with the Red Hawk.

“The message! Quick!”

“Yes!”

The subordinate took the message from the hawk and gave it to the Master of Divine Abilities.

The Master of Divine Abilities unfolded the message and began to read it.

After looking at the message in silence, the Master of Divine Abilities raised his head.

“What’s wrong?! What?!”

The Supreme Sovereign asked urgently, and the Master of Divine Abilities responded with a stunned expression:

“He’s going home.”

“…Huh?”

Kwon Geuk tilted his head, not understanding.

Going home? What does that mean?

“Home?”

“That’s right. He’s going home. He says he’s going to Guangdong and will leave the children in charge of the instructor.”

“…Wait…”

Kwon Geuk frowned.

“Is that urgent?”

The Master of Divine Abilities murmured:

“What is he thinking?”

“That is… I don’t understand…”

“What is he thinking?! Why is he going home?!”

Kwon Geuk fell silent.

‘That’s not it.’

Talking to smart people was exhausting. If they didn’t agree, only he looked foolish.

“Is it a problem that he’s going home?”

“A problem? Are you asking me if it’s a problem?”

The Master of Divine Abilities seemed about to explode.

“It is a problem! The Demon Cult is attacking, and we don’t know what’s happening inside, what will we do if Wei Yanho goes home? We need every person!”

“Yes, yes. You’re right. I thought the same. Wei Jeonghan isn’t thinking straight.”

“Wei Jeonghan… no. Wei Jeonghan wouldn’t do something so irresponsible. So, the problem is Wei Yanho…”

“…I think Wei Yanho is the problem. Jeonghan is responsible. But this is…”

“No! No matter how much Wei Yanho insists, it’s irresponsible for a father to not be able to control him and go home.”

‘I don’t understand.’

That’s why smart people…

The Supreme Sovereign decided to receive written reports after the situation calmed down.

Why did I ask that?

The Master of Divine Abilities didn’t seem to care about the Supreme Sovereign’s mood. He began to murmur, and the Supreme Sovereign trembled.

‘This guy is strange too.’

The Supreme Sovereign listened with curiosity.

“Home? Going home? No. I can’t allow that. Is he going home to rest? If he has that ability, he must use it. Do you think I’ll let him go to rest? No. I’ll use him. Damn brat! Don’t underestimate me!”

The Supreme Sovereign closed his eyes.

‘What did Wei Yanho do?’

The time that Wei Yanho and Jo Hyeon had spent together was very short compared to Jo Hyeon’s life, how could they develop so much resentment in such a short time?

That was surprising.

And also sad.

Jo Hyeon led the Righteous Martial Alliance, and Wei Yanho would be the center of the Righteous Martial Alliance in the future. With their bad relationship, what future could they expect?

‘It seems that only Jo Hyeon has resentment.’

No matter what the Supreme Sovereign thought, Jo Hyeon began to murmur.

“Should I go? No. I can’t allow him to leave. What can I do to stop him? Someone who can stop him…”

Suddenly, a glimmer appeared in Jo Hyeon’s eyes.

“I’ve got it! I’ve got it!”

“…What do you have?”

Jo Hyeon turned his head.

“I’ll be gone for a moment.”

The Supreme Sovereign nodded involuntarily at Jo Hyeon’s aura. Then he realized his mistake and shouted:

“Where are you going?!”

Jo Hyeon waved his hand dismissively.

“I must see the governor of Luoyang. There is a person who can stop him.”

Bad feeling.

A bad feeling.

It was the first time he had felt this since the war against the Demon Cult. The Supreme Sovereign, unable to contain his anxiety, asked:

“…It’s not that person, is it?”

“Yes!”

The Supreme Sovereign wiped his eyes as he saw Jo Hyeon run out.

‘Why are things so bad?’

The warm sunlight fell on the Supreme Sovereign’s shoulders as if to console him.
