Chapter 393: The Lazy Bum Goes His Way (3)

Wishing for someone’s absence is terrible. Especially wishing for someone to disappear completely from the world.

Unless it’s someone evil that the world cannot tolerate.

Yesterday, Jangil was certain.

He was sure that at least half the people who knew Wei Yanho would wish for him to disappear.

But Jangil now knew…

Surprisingly, the people around Wei Yanho liked him. Even those who had suffered because of him recognized his necessity.

It was natural.

His laziness and terrible personality were incomparable to his skill. It was questionable if anyone in the past had reached that level at that age.

His usefulness was unlimited.

Even without considering his future potential, his current power was indispensable.

‘The problem is they don’t use him correctly.’

Jangil cursed at the sky.

This shouldn’t have happened.

He knew that the martial world was unfair. Those born into noble families and those born into low-level families had differences from birth.

Those who ate medicinal herbs like porridge, took pills like side dishes, and learned noble martial arts couldn’t be defeated by someone of a low level. It was an undeniable reality.

Effort compensates for that injustice.

No matter how good the martial arts are, they are useless if they aren’t practiced. Even with deficient martial arts, one can surpass someone with a lot of effort.

It was something illogical, but also logical. Although theoretically impossible, the legendary «dragon of the sky» often appeared in the martial world.

But…

‘That guy shouldn’t be so strong!’

There are many strong warriors in the martial world.

Some are inhuman, some are obsessed with money, some are assassins… there are all kinds of people.

But if there is a strong warrior who shouldn’t exist, it’s a lazy bum.

A strong warrior who doesn’t work hard.

What does that mean?

It’s like a horse without legs or a bird without wings. Strong warriors are always admired. How can a lazy bum be admired?

«What a cruel sky.»

It seemed like he was putting in effort, but he soon returned to his old self.

Look at him now.

Lying on the roof of the carriage, whistling!

I’m worried that people will imitate him.

What will I tell the young people who should be the future of the martial world if they ask me: «Wei Yanho was so lazy, but he became strong, why should we put in effort?»

Because you are different from him and need to put in effort?

Because he is special?

«That’s not an answer!»

Thwack!

The moment Jangil shouted, a stone hit his head.

«Kuaaack!»

Jangil grabbed his head and rolled on the ground. Wei Yanho’s sharp voice echoed:

«Why are you muttering so much?»

Jangil jumped up:

«Can’t I talk? It’s not your mouth!»

«Why are you yelling at others after yelling yourself?»

«Can’t I even yell?»

«Tsk.»

Wei Yanho got up from the roof of the carriage:

«So what?»

“…”

«You wanna fight?»

“…….”

Jangil silently returned to his place.

What could he do? That bully was like that. He could reason with others, but this guy simply ignored reason and attacked.

And he wasn’t sure he could beat him with words.

Wei Yanho was Jangil’s true enemy, surpassing him in strength and eloquence.

«Master Wei.»

Jangil, who hadn’t given up yet, sought out Wei Jeonghan. Perhaps Wei Jeonghan…

«Why do you have so many complaints?»

“…”

Ah, right.

Master of Divine Abilities had said it. Like father, like son.

He was right. Someone like Wei Yanho couldn’t come from normal parents.

«What are you looking at?»

“…Nothing.”

Wei Jeonghan’s attitude was arrogant, as if he no longer considered himself Sword of the Righteous Hero.

If someone who didn’t know the situation saw him, they would think he was like that because of the sadness of his son being kidnapped. That enraged Jangil.

Jangil looked at the impassive sky and spoke:

«Are we almost at the Righteous Heavenly Alliance?»

«Are you asking me that, a beggar from the Beggar Sect?»

“…Sorry. I’m a little crazy.”

He was like a fisherman asking a farmer about the road.

‘Let’s see… are we almost there?’

They had arrived very quickly, considering the long distance to Sichuan, but it was understandable.

Jangil was the weakest. Even he could run for ten days without eating or drinking.

If it weren’t for the carriage, they would have already arrived.

«Should we take this carriage?»

«Do you want to carry it?»

«Doesn’t that guy have legs?»

“Yes, but not for walking. And even less for running. I know that very well after twenty years.”

“…Sure.”

There was nothing to say.

Jangil also knew that it would be much faster to carry Wei Yanho in an ox cart than to make him walk.

But what he didn’t understand was!

«Can’t that guy ride a horse?»

«I had an unpleasant moment when I rode a horse.»

“…….”

«And I don’t want to ride a horse anymore. What? Are you complaining?»

“…No.”

He remembered hearing that from Wei Sanho. If Wei Yanho hadn’t ridden a horse, they wouldn’t have lost him.

So he couldn’t blame him.

But Jangil still had an ace up his sleeve:

«Then why is he lying on the roof of the carriage?»

«It must be cooler.»

«No, no…»

«Hey, beggar.»

“…Yes.”

Wei Jeonghan clicked his tongue:

«When you hate someone, you hate everything about that person.»

“…….”

«But, do you know what happens if you cling to everything?»

«What happens?»

«You become more miserable.»

“…”

Jangil looked at the sky:

«Think of it as a natural disaster. Who blames a typhoon for causing damage? Just think you were unlucky.»

«Thanks for the advice.»

With tears in his eyes.

If another father had said that, Jangil would have been enraged, but he had to accept Wei Jeonghan’s words. Wei Jeonghan was Wei Yanho’s greatest victim.

It seemed like he had gotten gray hair since the last time he saw him.

«Master Wei.»

«What?»

«Won’t there be problems in the Righteous Heavenly Alliance?»

«Problems…»

Wei Jeonghan smiled slightly:

«It would be good if there were no problems. But things don’t always go as one wants. I can only hope that there are no problems.»

“…….”

Jangil blinked, feeling that Wei Jeonghan’s words were meaningful.

‘No.’

Wei Jeonghan’s attitude, tone, and expression were slightly different, but… no. Would he try to cause problems on purpose?

Wei Jeonghan was also fed up with Wei Yanho’s problems, how could he do it on purpose?

Jangil, who had suffered so much, still trusted that. It was almost a religion, but his faith was firm.

And, as always, people suffer when their faith is broken.

«Have we arrived in Chengdu?»

«Yes.»

«Have you been to Chengdu?»

«Yes.»

«Have you been to Chengdu?»

Jangil grimaced at Peng Dogeuk’s surprise:

«Who do you think I am?»

«A beggar.»

«You brat…»

Why does a beggar feel offended when he is called a beggar?

Jangil realized that his identity as a beggar had weakened.

«I’m a high-class beggar. And a high-class one must know all the information in the world. I traveled all over the world the first year. I visited Chengdu.»

«It seems you were just wandering.»

«Information! Information!»

«Why are you yelling?»

Jangil thumped his chest.

It seemed that people saw him as a fool for being close to Wei Yanho. Although he was a fool, he wasn’t that kind of fool. Like a fox and a dog… no, perhaps being a fool is better. That’s an offense.

‘He felt that they were looking down on him more and more.

«I must know all the clans and powers in the world.»

«It’s good that you have that information. You are a good guide.»

“…….”

Jangil’s shoulders drooped.

He was right. What good is it to know that if he only guides Wei Yanho?

Jangil suppressed the tears that welled up in his eyes. If he had known that this would happen, the leader of the beggars would not have asked him to follow Wei Yanho. It should have been more constructive…

‘No, I think it would have been the same.’

And he would have laughed.

Damn it.

«How much longer until we get to the Righteous Heavenly Alliance? Chengdu is not a small city.”

«Well, if we’ve arrived, we’ve arrived, if not, we haven’t.»

“……What do you mean?”

Jangil looked at Peng Dogeuk with disdain:

«If you want to grow, you must be interested in the situation of the world.»

«Explain it to me. Then I’ll understand.»

«What kind of place is the Righteous Heavenly Alliance?»

“……Stop talking nonsense.”

«Tsk tsk.»

Jangil clicked his tongue:

«The Righteous Heavenly Alliance is not like the Righteous Martial Alliance. It’s the martial alliance of Sichuan. Therefore, all the places in Sichuan are the Righteous Heavenly Alliance.»

«All the places?»

When Peng Dogeuk understood, his expression hardened.

The shops and stalls that seemed normal now seemed suspicious. Jangil laughed as he looked at Peng Dogeuk:

«Be careful. We are already inside the Righteous Heavenly Alliance.»

But there was someone who wasn’t worried:

«What are you saying? Where is the Righteous Heavenly Alliance?»

“…….”

What is Heaven doing?! It’s not stopping Wei Yanho!
