**Chapter 388: The Lazy Bum Complains (3)**

—

«Don’t stray.»

Master of Divine Abilities stared at Wei Yanho with a dumbfounded expression.

That damn lazy bum had been repeating that the entire way.

He was Master of Divine Abilities.

The world praised him for his vision and feared his intelligence.

But Master of Divine Abilities knew…

That the position of official was just a supporting role. People didn’t like officials receiving so much praise.

When someone intelligent gained too much fame, people tended to say they were cunning or surely plotting something.

Master of Divine Abilities knew this. That’s why he had lived with a single belief.

Loyalty.

He had never broken a promise. The most difficult thing about being an official wasn’t devising strategies, but giving up the advantages that could be gained by breaking loyalty.

Everyone in the martial world knew this, which was why they trusted Master of Divine Abilities.

Except for one.

«Aren’t you going to say something different later?»

«Kaaack!»

A sudden shout made Wei Yanho flinch in surprise.

«Why are you getting angry?»

«Sit down before I hit you! You bastard!»

«He’s getting angry for no reason.»

Master of Divine Abilities closed his eyes and counted to a hundred. If he could save someone with three deep breaths, he would have saved an entire village. Or even everyone around Wei Yanho.

«Kgh.»

Master of Divine Abilities shook his head:

‘Why did that guy grow up with Wei Sanho?’

In this situation, only that guy would try to rescue Wei Sanho. The others who knew Wei Sanho were sensible, but only that guy wasn’t.

‘No, perhaps…’

Master of Divine Abilities made a bitter expression:

‘Perhaps only he has the courage.’

He knew that Wei Yanho wasn’t foolish. He couldn’t be.

Martial arts are a form of knowledge. Although they can be learned with the body at first, understanding is needed at a certain level.

Fools can’t learn high-level martial arts.

Especially for someone as young as Wei Yanho, who had reached such a high level, exceptional comprehension was required. Even with a great master. Even the best master can’t turn a monkey into a human.

It takes a good master to have a good disciple.

In that sense, what Wei Yanho was doing wasn’t simply stubbornness.

‘He believed there was no other way than to attack the Demon Cult… or…’

Otherwise, Master of Divine Abilities had pushed him to do it. Perhaps both.

That infuriated him.

That he, Master of Divine Abilities Jo Hyeon, was being manipulated by that young man.

Master of Divine Abilities’ face flushed red, and Wei Yanho tilted his head:

«Are you feeling unwell? Your face…»

«Kgh.»

That guy always said what irritated people the most. If he did it on purpose, it was a big problem; if he didn’t do it on purpose, it was even worse.

«Sit down.»

«Yes.»

Master of Divine Abilities sighed as Wei Yanho sat down. The Supreme Sovereign and the others also sat down.

«Official, is there a solution?»

«……There are some. But they’re difficult.»

«Difficult?»

«Yes. It’s impossible now, but it’s not impossible to infiltrate the Demon Cult.»

«Infiltration is possible. We’re also infiltrating spies into the Demon Cult.»

«That’s right.»

Master of Divine Abilities nodded:

«Attacking the Demon Cult directly is impossible. But infiltration is possible.»

«I thought about it… but…»

Supreme Sovereign looked at Wei Yanho suspiciously:

«This guy?»

“……”

«Infiltrate him?»

“……”

«Official.»

Master of Divine Abilities avoided the Supreme Sovereign’s gaze.

He knew how absurd the plan was.

Infiltration requires a lot of tension and delicacy. They had to endure the pressure of having their heads cut off if they were discovered.

‘He doesn’t seem worried…’

But everything else was a problem.

«Is that a plan?»

“…There’s no other way.”

«There’s no other way? I can come up with a plan. Do you want me to tell you the best plan? Take the Righteous Martial Alliance to the Demon Cult, kill them all, and take Wei Sanho! I can come up with impossible plans! Do you think I pay you to do that?»

Master of Divine Abilities was furious.

Didn’t he know the plan was flawed? He was trying to do something because there was no other way!

He could understand if someone else said it, but it was the one who was about to hit Wei Yanho.

«Sir, I am the Master of Divine Abilities!»

«So what?»

«I wouldn’t say this without a plan! I have a plan!»

«Plan! It would be better if I infiltrated in disguise!»

«With that size?»

«Better than sending that guy, right?»

Wei Jeonghan looked at the two with a dumbfounded expression.

He had known these two for over twenty years. But this was the first time he had seen them fight.

‘What a guy.’

Just with his presence, he made those two fight, Wei Yanho was incredible.

«Why don’t we listen to him?»

When that incredible guy spoke, the Master of Divine Abilities and the Supreme Sovereign groaned at the same time.

«Then, I have a way to infiltrate smoothly.»

«It’s not perfect, but it’s a hundred times better than attacking alone.»

«That’s enough. What’s the plan?»

«I can’t say.»

«Huh?»

When Wei Yanho was about to tilt his head, Master of Divine Abilities clicked his tongue:

«Brat, things have their timing. Not now.»

Wei Yanho conceded that.

They would be alert, thinking that someone might come to rescue Wei Sanho, and the methods that would normally work wouldn’t work now.

«Still, you can tell me the plan.»

«No.»

Master of Divine Abilities said firmly:

«Words can’t be retracted once spoken. Even if it’s just us here, a secret revealed is no longer a secret.»

«Don’t you trust us?»

«No. I don’t trust myself.»

«Huh?»

Master of Divine Abilities said seriously:

«A secret that only I know and a secret that several know have different importance. Even if I’m careful, I might say it unintentionally.»

«Yes, but…»

Wei Yanho said distrustfully:

«Can I really trust you? There’s no other method, are you trying to stop me? Do I smell ‘treachery’?»

«Brat!»

Master of Divine Abilities threw his fan at Wei Yanho:

«What would I gain by deceiving you?»

«That’s true, there are many ways to use me. I’m a valuable talent.»

«That brat!»

Master of Divine Abilities raised his voice:

«I wouldn’t deceive you to rest! You’ll scream if you’re discovered!»

“…Yes.”

«Kgh.»

You shouldn’t admit that, brat!

Master of Divine Abilities, whose neck hurt from high blood pressure, looked at Wei Jeonghan, not Wei Yanho. But Wei Jeonghan avoided his gaze.

«You raised your son well! Very well!»

«Hehehehe.»

Wei Jeonghan smiled maliciously:

‘They’re so alike.’

He lamented not noticing that Wei Sanho didn’t resemble those of the Wei Family. Such a righteous son couldn’t come from such a father.

Master of Divine Abilities sighed and looked at Wei Yanho:

«We must do something until things calm down.»

«Do something?»

«Do you think I can use people for free? To do what you want, we must give up the methods that the Righteous Martial Alliance has created with so much effort. You must pay the price if you are human.»

Wei Yanho made a circle with his thumb and forefinger:

«Can that price be paid with money? Hehe.»

«……Only the imperial palace has more money than the Righteous Martial Alliance.”

«Tsk.»

Wei Yanho pouted:

«I won’t accept any price except working hard.»

«Stingy.»

«Yes, stingy. Thanks to me, the Righteous Martial Alliance is the richest in the world.»

Although Wei Yanho pouted, Master of Divine Abilities didn’t budge.

«So, what should I do?»

«Oh, you obey… that’s not like you.»

«I’m lazy. Since I’ll do what I’m told anyway, it’s better to save energy.»

«Are you smart or lazy…»

Master of Divine Abilities shook his head:

«It won’t be difficult for you. I’ll give you more details tomorrow. We’ll need two or three people, so choose.»

«I don’t need to choose. A beggar, a monk, and an assassin… that’s enough.»

«…Okay.»

Normally, to send the sons of noble families, the consent of their clans is needed, but since Wei Yanho would take them, there was no problem.

‘They won’t claim Wei Yanho directly.’

Because the rumor had already spread that they shouldn’t get involved with him if they wanted to live a peaceful life.

«Go rest.»

«Isn’t that a bit abrupt?»

«I don’t have time to argue with you. Go away!»

Wei Yanho stood up at the sound of Master of Divine Abilities’ shout.

«I’m going, I’m going.»

Master of Divine Abilities sighed deeply when Wei Yanho left.

«Brat.»

But he was relieved to have calmed him down.
