Chapter 402: The Lazy Bum is Bored (2)

«Hmm.»

Wei Yanho muttered as he looked out the door.

It had been a long time since he had left his room without needing to. He had only done so to escape the demons entering his room and flee to the roof.

‘I feel strange.’

People feel discomfort when doing something they don’t usually do. Wei Yanho felt like that. He sighed:

‘I must change.’

He knew that the world was changing rapidly. The turbulent era that the adults spoke of was approaching. His family was already involved.

There is only one way to survive a turbulent era.

To become stronger.

The strong do not waver even in strong winds. In order not to waver under the great wind of the turbulent era, they must become stronger.

‘I must train.’

Wei Yanho’s eyes gleamed.

No more lazy bum.

If he could lose everything for a bit of laziness, Wei Yanho would choose to give up his laziness, which was like his soulmate.

Wei Yanho left the room with determination.

«Huh?»

Wei Yanho’s eyes widened:

«Is the sun setting?»

The sun, which was high in the sky, was setting.

That was strange.

Wei Yanho had come out to train. Why was the sun already setting?

He really wanted to train.

But…

When he arrived at the training yard behind the guest room, the sun was warm. He enjoyed the warm sun and decided to rest for a while on the eaves…

People are like that.

When covered in the warm sun, one feels sleepy. It is an immutable law of humanity.

So he closed his eyes for a moment…

«Uh, hmm…»

Wei Yanho scratched his head.

He wasn’t being lazy on purpose. He just wanted to rest a bit before training. It was a shame that it had ended up like this.

‘There’s still time.’

Tomorrow will come after today.

If he didn’t train today, he could do it tomorrow. If you eat too fast, you choke, and if you go too fast, you get lost.

A bridge must be crossed after checking it.

Wei Yanho sat down slowly.

After stretching, he felt better.

‘I’m useless.’

It wasn’t strange that he had slept. If one is sleepy, one must sleep, and Wei Yanho can sleep anywhere. In fact, even standing up. If he wants to sleep, he can sleep standing up.

The problem is that this is the Tang family’s territory.

Although Tang Cheongun had invited him, the Tang family was an enemy of the Righteous Martial Alliance. Wei Yanho, who was considered a member of the Righteous Martial Alliance, was surrounded by enemies.

And he had slept soundly. Even Wei Yanho thought it was strange.

«Aauugh!»

He felt his joints adjust as he stretched. Wei Yanho jumped off the eaves and looked around:

«Where can I eat?»

He was very hungry. It was understandable, as he had only slept without eating. The problem was that he didn’t know where the dining hall was because he had only eaten what was given to him.

The biggest problem of a lazy bum is that he only moves within his room, so his information is limited. And it was embarrassing to ask the servants for food.

‘I’m embarrassed.’

Thanks to the good education he had received since childhood and the training from Baek Muhan, Wei Yanho had the right mindset of not causing trouble for others.

He couldn’t ask the servants for food unless he paid them.

In the end, Wei Yanho made the most obvious decision.

He walked.

If he looked at all the places with light, he would find the dining hall.

Wei Yanho began to walk, hungry.

«You can’t go here.»

«I’m sorry. This is a forbidden place.»

«Hey! You can’t come here!»

Wei Yanho’s mouth puckered:

‘Where should I go?’

The Tang family was ostentatious, but useless.

All the places were forbidden, only family members could enter. There was no place he could go as a guest.

They said he could go anywhere except the forbidden places, but there were no places that weren’t forbidden. It seemed that was why they had said it nonchalantly.

Well, it’s okay.

Anyway, he didn’t want to go to the forbidden places. As Wei Yanho was stubborn, he wanted to go to the forbidden places, but those places were also forbidden.

What’s in the Tang family’s forbidden places?

Other clans would keep treasures or secret techniques, but the Tang family’s treasure was poison.

Wei Yanho didn’t want to go to a place where poison grew.

Immune to poison?

Even if you can resist ten thousand poisons, you will die if you can’t resist the ten thousand and first poisonous one. What are you relying on to approach poison?

Sometimes, it’s better to do what you’re told.

He wasn’t complaining about that. He was complaining about something else.

«Where’s the dining hall?»

«I’m sorry. We can’t talk to you.»

«Aren’t we talking now?»

«I’m sorry.»

«…….»

They are very polite.

Are they being very polite by ignoring me?

Wei Yanho’s face twitched.

It was obvious that they were deliberately ignoring his question about the dining hall.

Wei Yanho, who had lived for twenty years observing others, could understand the feelings of others through their gestures and tone. The guards clearly hated him.

It’s understandable.

They were guards protecting the forbidden places, and Wei Yanho was an intruder. They had no reason to treat him well.

But!

‘They should tell me where the dining hall is! I need to eat!’

There is humanity beyond enemies and allies.

Wei Yanho gritted his teeth:

‘I’ll find the dining hall.’

«I understand.»

Wei Yanho turned sharply.

The guards clicked their tongues as they watched Wei Yanho walk away:

«Does he know what he’s doing?»

«…Wouldn’t it be better to tell him that there’s no dining hall? What if he causes trouble?»

«Then, it will only make things worse. Why treat someone who caused trouble from the beginning well?»

«But…»

They didn’t know they were making a mistake.

«What a dirty world.»

Wei Yanho’s mouth was puckered.

He understood everything…

But he had to eat.

«Should I go back to the room?»

He felt bad for the maids, but if he asked them for food, they would bring it quickly…

But Wei Yanho shook his head:

‘Those women are too intimidating.’

If he showed indifference, Wei Yanho wouldn’t feel uncomfortable, but because they were paying so much attention, he felt uncomfortable. When had he ever received such treatment?

Also, those women seemed unable to sleep for fear that something would happen, so they should rest.

«I’m too kind.»

Wei Yanho said something that Baek Muhan would have hit him three times for saying.

«It wasn’t here… this place is…»

Wei Yanho saw a light in the distance.

‘Huh? Where is that?’

It seemed to be far away, but the light was bright, which meant it was a large building.

‘Should I go?’

Wei Yanho started walking.

Although he seemed to be walking slowly, he was moving a lot with each step.

But because he wasn’t arriving, it seemed to be farther away than he thought.

«Huh?»

Wei Yanho’s nose began to twitch:

«Smell of food!»

It seemed he had found it. A slight smell of food was coming from afar.

Wei Yanho quickened his pace.

Wei Yanho arrived at the building and tilted his head:

‘Doesn’t look like a dining hall.’

It didn’t look like a dining hall.

But what was that strong smell of food?

Wei Yanho decided not to think too much.

The fact that no one stopped him meant it wasn’t a forbidden place, so he could go in and check.

«Is anyone there?»

Wei Yanho entered and looked around:

‘It’s a bit dark.’

Wei Yanho looked around him:

‘Huh?’

The walls were full of weapons.

From common swords to strange weapons he had never seen, the walls were full of weapons.

«Not a dining hall.»

Wei Yanho sighed sadly.

Where is the Tang family’s dining hall?

And if this isn’t a dining hall, then…

He knew he should leave, but the smell of food was irresistible. The spicy aroma of Sichuan was tormenting Wei Yanho.

‘I’ll just look. If they’re eating, I’ll join. Or maybe a cake…’

Wei Yanho headed towards the smell of food. After passing two doors, he saw a large amount of food on a table that looked like a private room.

«Huh?»

There was a lot of delicious food, but no one was around.

‘It’ll get cold.’

He didn’t know why there was food in an empty place, but it was a lack of respect for the food. All food has its ideal temperature. Hot food should be eaten hot, and cold food should be eaten cold.

If the food gets cold, it will lose half of its flavor.

«…Where are the people?»

Wei Yanho’s hands began to tremble.

That food wasn’t his.

But it was a shame to leave it like this.

‘I’ll just try a little’

Would he be hit just for trying?

The conscience of him, which said he shouldn’t touch what wasn’t his, and his hunger fought in his mind.

At that moment…

«Who are you?»

A sharp voice echoed behind Wei Yanho.
