Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 319

Chapter 319: The Loafer Goes to the Capital (4)

“It’s a strange group.”

Moon Eunji observed around her and came to that conclusion. The martial world’s bandits didn’t follow the rules, and this group was like that.

‘Unbelievable.’

They were definitely crazy.

They didn’t head to the imperial palace immediately after receiving the imperial order, but did what they wanted first. They were heading to Beijing with a secret order, but they acted like they were on vacation.

Of course, the horse was excellent, and those accompanying them were incredibly strong, so they were advancing quickly. Definitely.

They covered the distance that normally took three days in less than half a day, so one couldn’t criticize their slowness.

‘They’re discourteous!’

Moon Eunji had thought that Wei Yanho was the most discourteous person in the world. She had received a strict education in a noble family, so she hadn’t met many bandits like Wei Yanho.

But they were all as discourteous as Wei Yanho.

Moon Eunji understood why people despised warriors of the martial world.

What bothered her the most was…

“Water.”

“Yes.”

A beautiful woman, whom Moon Eunji had never seen before, moved when Wei Yanho, who was lying on the treasures on the roof of the carriage, asked for it.

The woman quickly got off the carriage, brought water, and offered it to Wei Yanho.

“Here.”

“Thanks.”

Wei Yanho drank the water and gave the empty glass to the woman. The woman smiled and took the glass.

‘What are they doing?!’

Moon Eunji could list ten reasons why that was wrong.

First, men and women should be separate, and it was inappropriate for an unmarried man and woman to be in the same carriage. Her parents were also there, how could they allow it?

Wei Yanho was a problem, but the woman was even worse.

‘What a waste!’

Wei Yanho was…

A bandit, someone who could irritate anyone.

Although his power was amazing, he was no better than those who knew the classics and reason.

Why was that woman submitting to him?

“What an era!”

Moon Eunji felt her anger growing.

‘It’s already been two days!’

Since meeting them, Wei Yanho hadn’t paid any attention to Moon Eunji.

‘There should be manners.’

Normally, they would ask about her journey, her life, or how they received the imperial order. They should!

“Why don’t you ask?!”

Moon Eunji, unable to contain herself, stood up and pointed at Wei Yanho.

“What?”

“Why don’t you ask me how I got here? Why?”

Wei Yanho said indifferently:

“I’m not interested.”

“…”

“And you shouldn’t point at someone who’s still. Your father would cry if he saw you like that.”

Moon Eunji lowered her hand. If Moon Yuhwan had seen her, he would have cried and whipped her.

“…I’m frustrated.”

Wei Yanho looked at Moon Eunji with disdain:

“Why? What frustrates you?”

“…Why don’t you ask?”

“Because I’m not interested.”

“You should be interested. As a person, you should be interested. How can you not be interested in the world?”

“Will anything change if I’m interested?”

“But…”

“It must be the old man.”

Moon Eunji was surprised:

‘How did he know?’

He was surprisingly perceptive.

“It’s obvious. Your father wouldn’t have sent you, only the old man could do that.”

“Uh…”

“That old man is strange. He told you to investigate the martial world, why is he asking you to come to Beijing? He’s a busy person.”

“It’s disrespectful to the censor.”

“That’s nothing new.”

That was true.

Wei Yanho had always been like that. Why was she expecting something different?

“But!”

“Huh?”

“W… who is that?”

Moon Eunji looked at Jin Yeran.

‘She’s a person.’

As she had grown up in the Great Hanrim Academy, she hadn’t met many women her age. But this was true. There weren’t many women as beautiful in the Central Plains.

‘Why is she…’

Why is she with Wei Yanho?

If she had common sense, shouldn’t she avoid Wei Yanho?

“I couldn’t greet you.”

“Huh? Ah… yes.”

Moon Eunji lowered her head upon hearing Jin Yeran. She felt like her heart had been discovered. She felt like she had done something wrong without having done anything wrong.

“I’m Jin Yeran. I’m a doctor.”

“A… are you the Saintess of Mount Na?”

“Huh?”

“Are you the one… who heals patients on Mount Na?”

“Ah… yes, I did.”

Moon Eunji covered her mouth:

‘Unbelievable!’

The Saintess of Mount Na was one of the most famous people in the world. She was known for her nobility, her medical skills, and her beauty.

She was a true doctor who didn’t take pride in her skills and helped patients.

‘They say people are following her.’

After her appearance, some doctors started following her. The doctors who had learned that medicine was charity were disgusted with the current situation, where money was the most important thing.

The doctors who had learned that medicine was charity faced a reality where medicine was just a technique.

Young doctors began to move to recover the essence of medicine.

The imperial palace was closely observing this movement, and Moon Eunji’s father greatly appreciated Jin Yeran.

‘Why is she here?’

Such an important person was serving water to Wei Yanho.

Moon Eunji couldn’t understand it.

Of course, Wei Yanho was important!

When Moon Eunji first met him, he was a simple loafer, but now he was famous in the martial world.

But the reputation of the Saintess of Mount Na was not inferior…

“Sister!”

Jin Soah approached the carriage.

“What’s wrong?”

“I must return at the next crossing.”

“Already?”

“Yes. If we continue, we’ll have to take a longer route. I must leave.”

Sadness appeared on Jin Yeran’s face.

Although they were taking different paths, they were siblings. They hadn’t broken their family ties.

“Are you going to walk?”

“The supervisor sent people. I can return with them.”

Jin Yeran nodded:

“Alright. It’s a pity, but if the leader leaves the Sacred Hand Hall, there will be problems. A doctor must be in the Sacred Hand Hall. Return.”

“Yes, sister.”

Before Jin Soah could say anything, Jin Yeran straightened up:

“Soah.”

“Yes.”

“Leader, I have something important to tell you.”

“Tell me.”

“The future of the Sacred Hand Hall depends on you. I’m sorry for not being able to share that responsibility with you.”

“Don’t say that, sister. I always feel guilty for not being able to guide the Sacred Hand Hall as you want.”

Jin Yeran smiled:

“I can’t tell you what to do. Trust yourself. Our father would want that too.”

Jin Soah lowered his head.

Although he had helped the Sacred Hand Hall with Wei Yanho, he felt doubts. He thought that his path might not be the right one.

Hearing Jin Yeran acknowledge his path, he felt moved.

“I don’t think my path is the right one. But…”

Jin Soah raised his head and said decisively:

“I will do my best. Even when I see our father, I’ll be able to say that I have done everything possible.”

“Good thought.”

Jin Yeran smiled:

‘He has grown.’

As Wei Yanho said, Jin Soah could follow his own path. He must achieve what he wants, and he must follow his own path.

Although their paths were different, Jin Yeran supported his brother.

Suddenly, a grumpy voice resounded:

“You want to earn money.”

“…….”

“For me!”

Jin Soah’s face contorted:

“It’s not about money!”

At that moment, Wei Yanho stood up:

“What are you saying?”

“……Huh?”

“Why are you a doctor?”

“C… charity. Saving people…”

*Slap!*

Jin Soah received a strong blow to the head.

*Thud!*

Wei Yanho frowned upon seeing Jin Soah fall.

“You still haven’t learned! Why do you charge if you say it’s charity, you hypocrite!”

Jin Soah shuddered.

“Don’t say nonsense about charity! Either don’t charge, or charge and earn money. Which is it?”

“I will earn money.”

“That’s the spirit!”

Wei Yanho lifted Jin Soah up and said sternly:

“The world is money! Money! You need money to buy needles and medicine!”

“Y… yes.”

“Earn money! Like a dog! For me!”

Jin Yeran decided to send Jin Soah back to the Sacred Hand Hall as soon as possible.

She didn’t know what would happen to Jin Soah if he continued with Wei Yanho. Jin Yeran shuddered, thinking that she had also been affected by Wei Yanho.
