Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 293

**Chapter 293: The Lazy One is Discovered (3)**

“I can’t take it anymore!”

Wei Yanho was rolling on the ground in a field.

“When are we leaving?”

According to the plan, they were supposed to leave that day, but they were delayed. Wei Jeonghan hadn’t anticipated the problems. He thought he would just say goodbye and leave, but Mount Hua went crazy when he announced his departure.

He hadn’t considered the difference between the Wei family’s status before and after their arrival at Mount Hua.

Wei Jeonghan was taken away by the nobles and elders of Mount Hua, and the others could only wait.

And…

“Why me?!”

It wasn’t just Wei Jeonghan who was being targeted.

Wei Yanho, harassed by constant visitors, had to flee his room.

“Let me rest!”

When his relatives stopped bothering him, others started. Especially Jin Yeran and I Seolhwa, who hadn’t left his room since the day before.

Seeing those adult women in a man’s room, the adults, instead of scolding them, scolded Wei Yanho.

How unfair.

“Why is everyone bothering me?”

He didn’t understand why they visited him just to say hello.

“Isn’t that the fate of the strong?”

“Huh?”

Wei Yanho turned his head when he heard a voice.

A handsome man dressed in white was looking at him with a smile.

“Oh? I see you here.”

Baek Geomyeong smiled.

“It’s no coincidence. I came to see you.”

“I thought so. This is a discreet place.”

“Hahaha.”

“…It’s strange. You’re not trying to attack me? Otherwise, you wouldn’t have come to such a remote place.”

“No, I just came…”

Baek Geomyeong shrugged, and Wei Yanho clicked his tongue.

“What’s wrong?”

“I came to say goodbye.”

“Say goodbye?”

“Yes. I’m leaving Mount Hua today. I wanted to see you before I left.”

“I don’t think that’s something a man says to another man.”

“You don’t like men?”

“No, not at all.”

“Don’t worry. I don’t like men.”

Wei Yanho said indifferently:

“But you do like women.”

Baek Geomyeong’s eyes flashed without answering.

“But perhaps my interest in you is greater than my interest in the most beautiful women.”

“…What do you mean?”

Baek Geomyeong’s eyes sharpened.

“No matter how beautiful or loved a woman is, how long will our relationship last? Even if we get married, how long will we live together? But you are different. As long as we are both alive, we will see each other, feel each other, and watch over each other. How can that compare to the interest in a woman?”

“You speak in a complicated way.”

Wei Yanho scratched his head.

“Can I ask you something?”

“Yes. Anything you want.”

Wei Yanho said with irritation:

“Why are you so formal? I thought you were fine before, but now you disgust me.”

“Kukukukuk.”

Baek Geomyeong’s voice changed.

“But this appearance is better, isn’t it?”

“That’s true. It seems like your real appearance.”

“That’s right.”

“I can imagine how difficult it was to live with that fat appearance when I first saw you at the Great Hanrim Academy. If you had shown your real appearance, you wouldn’t have had to try so hard to get married. She might have thought differently.”

“Perhaps. But I wanted someone who wouldn’t be fooled by my appearance. I thought Moon Eunji was like that.”

“No, you were wrong. She’s a materialist.”

“Hmm, we have different opinions… never mind. That doesn’t matter now.”

Baek Geomyeong looked at Wei Yanho and said:

“Since we have a connection, it doesn’t seem right for me to leave without telling you something.”

“What do you mean?”

“You will fall before me.”

Baek Geomyeong said seriously:

“I know. I can’t defeat you now. But that’s only now. I will also perfect my sword, and someday I will defeat you. So don’t give up until then.”

Wei Yanho looked at Baek Geomyeong and said:

“You don’t seem to be a good target for a warrior, or for a person.”

“There’s no choice. I can’t be the best without surpassing you in this generation.”

“Hmm…”

Wei Yanho said indifferently:

“If someone else said that, it wouldn’t be threatening, but hearing it from you, I must be careful. You are someone who could deceive everyone even with that appearance. Someone who lived being despised for his appearance. Isn’t that right, Nokmokpung?”

“I am Baek Geomyeong now.”

Baek Geomyeong smiled kindly.

“In the past, I said I would repay you, but I couldn’t do it. But it’s okay. They say a gentleman’s revenge is not too late even after ten years. Someday, I will pay for the humiliation I suffered.”

“I hope you can.”

“The Plum Blossom Sword Saint is looking for you.”

“Huh?”

“You seem uncomfortable. But since he’s looking for you, you should go.”

“Yeah, well.”

“Then.”

Wei Yanho narrowed his eyes as he watched Baek Geomyeong leave.

‘Why did Baekgeom Fortress infiltrate the imperial court?’

He knew something was wrong when someone with an artificial appearance infiltrated, but the fact that it was from Baekgeom Fortress was significant.

It meant that Baekgeom Fortress was plotting something.

Why would a clan like Baekgeom Fortress get involved with the imperial court?

Wei Yanho thought a lot, then stood up with a cheerful expression.

“I can’t know.”

That’s for smart people. If Wei Yanho also thinks, what will the strategists do?

If Jangil knew that Wei Yanho was thinking about this, he would be angry.

Wei Yanho decided to do what he could.

“I should just rest.”

Wei Yanho whistled as he walked.

“You called me?”

The Plum Blossom Sword Saint trembled when he saw Wei Yanho, who wasn’t hiding his laziness.

‘Damn it.’

“I don’t understand why you’re calling me when you’re busy.”

“Busy? You?”

“I didn’t get enough sleep.”

“…Sleep? Is sleep important for a warrior?”

“You don’t know!”

Wei Yanho said confidently:

“Rest is necessary to advance. Many work hard training the young, but that’s useless. Rest creates a healthy body, and a healthy body creates a healthy mind.”

“…Is that why you didn’t come when I called you?”

“Didn’t I come?”

The veins on the Plum Blossom Sword Saint’s forehead bulged.

“The sun is setting! The sun is setting! I looked for you since noon, and many people came to look for you, and now you say that?”

“Is that strange?”

“Strange?”

“Yes. You said to come, but you didn’t say when.”

*Tremble*.

The Plum Blossom Sword Saint’s beard trembled.

“And it seems you don’t understand the logic of the world because you live in the mountain. People come when they need something. You don’t call them.”

“……”

“Since you got hit, I came today, so it shouldn’t happen again.”

The Plum Blossom Sword Saint looked at the ceiling.

He had to be calm, but his heart was beating hard.

‘I might die.’

For him, who had been born, raised, and lived only with the disciples of Mount Hua, Wei Yanho was a different creature.

How can someone like that exist?

“…Yanho.”

“Huh?”

“You must be an example.”

“No, I can’t. You can’t ask someone for something impossible.”

It seems he knows he has a problem…

“Okay, okay. The flattery is fine, but the sun is already setting, so tell me what you need.”

“……Isn’t it that you arrived late?”

“Then why didn’t you call me earlier?”

Where is my sword?

He wanted to stab him, regardless of his injuries.

“Ugh.”

But he had to restrain himself.

This guy wouldn’t forgive him even if he was the Sword Saint. He would counterattack mercilessly.

And his skill…

‘Honestly, I can’t beat him.’

He couldn’t say it in front of others, but Wei Yanho’s sword surpassed his skill. The Sword Saint of Mount Hua, one of the best swordsmen, couldn’t beat that brat.

“…Will you give me back the gold if I cancel the fight?”

“There’s no turning back.”

“Right.”

The Plum Blossom Sword Saint shook his head and sighed. Deciding to speak quickly would be best for his health.

“I called you because I have a question.”

“Question.”

The Plum Blossom Sword Saint looked at Wei Yanho and said:

“Who is your master?”

“You won’t know.”

“Tell me. Your sword resembles the one I know.”

“It’s a ghost named Baek Muhan.”

The Plum Blossom Sword Saint’s eyes trembled.

“What… what did you say? Baek Muhan?”

“Yes. Do you know him?”

“E… e… e…!”

The Plum Blossom Sword Saint shouted.

“The Sword Emperor?”
