Chapter 391: The Loafer Goes His Way (1)

«The Righteous Heavenly Alliance?»

«Yes.»

Gwanggu Singae began to mutter,

«That guy called Dogeuk an ‘evil spirit,’ but in reality, he was the real ‘evil spirit.’ If something bothered him, he would abandon us.»

«Weren’t you obligated to be with the Radiant Martial Sovereign by orders?»

«Of course! But!»

Gwanggu Singae said resentfully,

«Following him doesn’t mean I had to do all his missions!»

«…True.»

«I thought I just had to follow him, but it was a disaster everywhere he went. To the palace! To the Demon Cult! What? The Righteous Heavenly Alliance?»

Even though decades had passed, Gwanggu Singae didn’t seem to have overcome his resentment.

«And he never returned quietly! Who would have imagined something like that happening in the palace?»

«Calm down.»

«Kgh.»

Gwanggu Singae shook his head,

«If I think about it, my life was ruined by him. If it weren’t for him, I would have lived a peaceful life.»

«That doesn’t concern me.»

«…You’re very calm.»

«This Saha has always been like this.»

Saha, the Historian, who had cut off the unnecessary conversation, said firmly,

«It’s surprising that the Radiant Martial Sovereign accepted.»

«You thought he wouldn’t go?»

«Yes. The Radiant Martial Sovereign is… hmm…»

«Lazy?»

«Yes.»

Gwanggu Singae clicked his tongue,

«If it were him, he would have done everything possible not to go. But, as you know, this situation is different.»

«True.»

Even Wei Yanho couldn’t be lazy in this situation. How could he be lazy when his brother had been kidnapped?

«He knew he couldn’t do anything alone. People think Wei Yanho is impulsive and unpredictable, but he is very intelligent.»

«True. And a fool couldn’t do that. It takes intelligence to learn high-level martial arts.»

«Yes. But because he’s like that, people are mistaken.»

Gwanggu Singae seemed a little sad,

«He knew he couldn’t do anything alone. But he couldn’t stand still. He had to do something to improve the situation.»

«…True.»

«But…»

Gwanggu Singae covered his face,

«If he was going to die, he should have died alone… why involve me?»

«…»

The atmosphere became depressing.

***

«Do you hate the Righteous Heavenly Alliance that much?»

Hate.

Of course, I hate it.

But it’s not just because of that. It’s a place where people live. Even though the relationship with the Righteous Martial Alliance isn’t good, there’s no need to fight.

I’m a warrior, and sometimes I must smile and enter enemy territory. I understand that.

Huh?

So, what’s the problem?

Can you go into boiling oil?

Yes, I can.

But… can you go into boiling oil with fire?

No, right?

That’s what I mean!

The Righteous Heavenly Alliance isn’t the same for everyone. If you go with someone else, it’s the Righteous Heavenly Alliance, but if you go with Wei Yanho, it’s hell.

Huh?

So, where can we go with him?

…Huh?

***

Clang!

Jangil swallowed his tears as he watched the door fly open.

‘Does that guy hate doors?’

Unless he had died trapped in a door in his past life, why did he keep kicking doors? What does he have hands for?

Well, it’s understandable.

It wasn’t his money. It was strange that Wei Yanho, who damaged the things of the Righteous Martial Alliance, had so much nerve.

The problem was Wei Yanho’s expression.

«…What’s wrong with you?»

How can a person have such a strange expression?

Seeing that expression, full of anger, irritation, laziness, and malice, was terrifying. He couldn’t bring good news with that expression.

«Get ready.»

«Huh?»

«Get ready.»

«…Explain it to me clearly.»

Wei Yanho calmly responded to Jangil’s sigh,

«We’re going to the Righteous Heavenly Alliance!»

«Don’t shout so loud, you madman!»

Jangil threw a pillow without realizing it. But Wei Yanho easily blocked it.

«The Righteous Heavenly Alliance? Who sent you there?»

«The Master of Divine Abilities.»

«…Kgh.»

He felt like he was suffocating.

‘Why is that guy doing this?’

It was already difficult to handle Wei Yanho, why was he helping him?

«He said to take me with you?»

«No.»

Wei Yanho shook his head calmly,

«He only said for me to go.»

«Then why me?»

«He said to take some smart guys.»

«……»

Jangil’s eyes searched for something. He had to escape this situation. If he wasted more time, he would go to the Righteous Heavenly Alliance.

«The… monk?»

«He’ll go.»

«…The assassin?»

«He’s already preparing.»

«These lunatics.»

Jangil wiped his eyes without realizing it.

He felt like he had no allies.

Even if they joined, it wouldn’t be enough, what? Preparing? Voluntarily?

‘Better to die fighting.’

There are many ways to die. There are many ways to die without suffering. Why choose such a terrible and reckless method as going to the Righteous Heavenly Alliance with Wei Yanho?

«…I won’t be of much help.»

«I know.»

Wei Yanho nodded calmly,

«But there’s no other option. There’s no one else who can help me, and I feel uncomfortable leaving just you alone.»

«Why do you feel uncomfortable? Why!»

«We’ve spent a lot of time together. We’re companions.»

«We’re companions?! Since when?!»

«Don’t be shy.»

«I’m not shy! I won’t go!»

«Seriously?»

«Of course!»

Wei Yanho smiled,

«You really won’t go?»

«I’ll never go!»

Jangil’s scream echoed in the Righteous Martial Alliance.

«What?»

«……»

Tears appeared in Jangil’s eyes.

There are people you can face and people you can’t.

The sad thing was that the person in front of him was one of the most difficult people to face in the world. Anyone would be in the same situation.

Even if the leader of the Beggar Sect were here, it would be difficult to protest.

Because the Master of Divine Abilities was frowning.

«You won’t go?»

«…It’s not that, sir.»

«What’s not that?»

«I… it’s that…»

Cold sweat began to run down Jangil’s forehead.

‘Why is he doing this to me?’

He couldn’t help but feel aggrieved.

Was the fact that he didn’t want to go to the Righteous Heavenly Alliance with Wei Yanho such a big problem that it required the intervention of the Master of Divine Abilities? It wasn’t as if the Righteous Martial Alliance would collapse just because he wasn’t going.

Jangil looked at Wei Yanho smiling beside him and grimaced,

‘The most vile and despicable guy.’

How could the best expert in the martial world, or rather, someone who can no longer be called that, could just go and attack someone just because he didn’t listen to him?

And the Master of Divine Abilities, who got angry about it…

‘It’s the end. It’s over.’

That would never happen if the Righteous Martial Alliance was functioning correctly.

«So why aren’t you going?»

«I… it’s that, sir…»

«Why?»

«…I don’t think… I…»

«Why?»

«……»

This person doesn’t understand either.

Why is it so difficult to find someone who understands you?

The Master of Divine Abilities looked at Jangil,

«I told Wei Yanho to choose someone to go to the Righteous Heavenly Alliance. That means Wei Yanho’s words are my order. Are you refusing to obey my order?»

«Is it that exaggerated?»

«I must speak with the leader of the Beggar Sect.»

«Hiik!»

Jangil was frightened upon hearing the word «beggar.»

The leader of the Beggar Sect would try to kill him. Thinking about being beaten with the leader’s staff, he felt pale.

«We can resolve this peacefully, why must we do this?»

«Shut up! Damn it!»

«Even if you help me, you’ll cause problems!»

Help?

Who’s helping whom?!

Jangil wanted to bite Wei Yanho’s face. If the Master of Divine Abilities wasn’t there, he would have attacked him.

«Yanho.»

«Yes?»

«Step outside for a moment.»

«Yes.»

When Wei Yanho left, the Master of Divine Abilities looked at Jangil seriously,

«I understand your burden.»

«……»

«But the conclusion is the same. You must go.»

«W… why?»

«Who will control them?»

«Control?»

Jangil opened his eyes.

Control?

What nonsense is that?

It would be more realistic for a tiger cub to control an adult tiger, who would control whom? If they don’t die, it would be lucky.

«T… there’s Wei Jeonghan.»

«Jeonghan?»

«Yes, Wei Jeonghan.»

The Master of Divine Abilities grimaced,

«If I had to choose my biggest mistake, it would be thinking he was a normal person. As a father, as a son… I didn’t know.»

«……»

«I’ll send him as a hostage, but we need someone to watch him so that he doesn’t cause problems.»

«How can I do that?! Isn’t there anyone else? Someone who can control Wei Jeonghan.»

«Do you think there is someone?»

«……»

Jangil was speechless.

Control Wei Jeonghan?

Who?

‘There’s no answer.’

Not even the elders of a clan or sect could do it, it would take a leader. But even a leader couldn’t control Wei Jeonghan. Who would dare to control the Wei Family of Guangdong now that Wei Yanho is also causing problems?

«Master of Divine Abilities.»

«Yes?»

«I think there’s someone perfect.»

«Who?»

«…Are you very busy lately?»

«Stop thinking and get ready.»

Jangil finally cried.
