Chapter 40: Lazy Lazy, Beating Up (2)

Sanggwan Hong continued speaking while looking at Wi Yeonho with a slightly stern expression.

“Chukmageom Wisanho is evaluated as being above all the later indices. If you say that you can defeat him, doesn’t that mean that none of the people here except Gong Daehyeop can defeat Sohyeop?”

“Yes, but?”

Wi Yeon-ho was confident.

There is no way he could have any hesitation in telling the truth. Other people might tell white lies to suit the mood and situation of others, but Wi Yeon-ho was a true man of this era who had the audacity to tell the truth.

Why else would Baek Mu-han have been beaten for five years just for picking on everything he said? If only he had kept his mouth shut, the number of times he got hit would have been reduced by half.

Sanggwanhong's eyebrows twitched.

“……So are you saying that Sohyeop can face me without even trying my sword?”

"yes."

As expected, Wi Yeon-ho was confident.

But that confidence was not accepted as confidence by everyone.

First of all, the civil servants were crooked.

'It's a talent how speaking the truth can seem so annoying.'

However, Gong Mu-jin was thankful that Wi Yeon-ho did not say, "No. That's wrong. Everyone, including Gong Dae-hyeop."

Given his age and status in the martial arts world, it couldn't have been anything but embarrassing.

Anyway, it would not be long before the entire martial arts world would know about Wei Yanhu, but Gong Mujin himself refused to be the one to make Wei Yanhu known.

We had to stop the rumors from going around that there was a formidable guy among the later indexes who could beat the public servants.

That's why the officials kept their mouths shut.

Meanwhile, Lee Seol-hwa thought it was natural.

It didn't make sense to bring Wei Yan-ho, who even his master couldn't handle, to the later index. Wasn't it a natural virtue for a man to say the obvious as if it were obvious?

Lee Seol-hwa looked at Wi Yeon-ho with a slight smile.

Lee Yong-i-bong, including Sang-gwan-hong, felt very unpleasant.

They are someone.

This is Samryongibong, which is said to be the strongest in Jamryongmu-gwan.

Just because the old faction didn't participate, it didn't mean that Jamryongmugwan was weak. Jamryongmugwan was a place where all the great late-comers in the world gathered.

Among the descendants of the family, those who were deemed to lack the five virtues could not dare to enter the Jamryong Martial Arts Academy. Since the Jamryong Martial Arts Academy was a place where each person's martial arts skills were compared and objectively evaluated, sending an incompetent person often resulted in damaging the family's reputation.

Aren't they the ones who are considered the best among those who have been carefully selected and admitted?

But then, out of nowhere, a human being who is like a bone in a horse is saying that they can easily deal with someone like them.

Finally, Wei Shulien was very embarrassed.

“Oh, brother.”

His brother must have lost a chunk of his liver while he was gone.

Looking at the faces of Sanggwanhong and others who were visibly frozen, Wei Su-ryeon poked Wei Yan-ho in the ribs.

“Ah. It hurts! Why!”

“I apologize.”

"what?"

“You don’t have to show off like that just because it’s been a while. No matter where you are or what you’ve done, you’re still my brother. I know my brother, and even if Jang Sam-bong comes back, he can’t make my brother a master.”

It was certainly a valid assessment.

Anyone who knows Wei Yanhu would think so.

And what made the impossible possible was Baek Mu-han's iron fist education.

It was Baek Mu-han who directly refuted the adage that you can lead a horse to the stream, but you can't force it to drink water.

– You can't lose!

– There is no business in the market.

Isn't Baek Mu-han's theory that if you tie a horse to a stream and beat it until it dies, the horse will either get tired and drink water, or it will try everything it can to figure out what it did wrong and eventually drink water?

And that theory was now being splendidly proven to be correct through Wi Yeon-ho.

But it was Sanggwan Hong's misfortune not to know that.

“Words can be used to catch a dragon. So, are you willing to take my sword yourself and prove that fact?”

"yes?"

When Wi Yeon-ho tilted his head, Sanggwan Hong became angry.

“I am now asking for a lesson from So-hyeop! I have always wanted to learn about the sword of the Guangdong Wei family. I wanted to ask So-hyeop Wisanho to teach me, but there are two people here who know the sword of the Guangdong Wei family, so isn’t this a good opportunity?”

It was quite rude language for an application for a military base.

In normal cases, applying for a military service in this way could lead directly to a life or death decision rather than a military service.

So, Sanggwanhong thought that Wei Yanhao would naturally accept his request for a secret weapon. Normally, it would be very discriminatory to request a secret weapon from someone lower than oneself, but since Wei Yanhao had already provoked him, no one would blame him.

Sanggwanhong thought he had perfectly caught Wei Yanho, but Wei Yanho was very different from ordinary people.

Wi Yeon-ho heard Sanggwan Hong's words and answered in one breath.

“You don’t like it?”

“…….”

Sanggwanhong looked at Wiyeonho with a blank expression.

In situations like this, isn't it customary to accept the offer, at least for the sake of saving face?

“You said no?”

"yes."

Sanggwanhong asked as if he didn't understand.

“May I ask why you don’t like it? If you don’t accept this offer now, the world will call you a coward. And the reputation of the Guangdong Wei family will fall to the ground. Are you saying that’s okay?”

“That won’t happen.”

“……Can I ask you again?”

Wi Yeon-ho sighed as if he couldn't understand what I was saying and then kindly explained it to me.

“It doesn’t matter if the whole world calls me a coward. The reputation of the Guangdong Wei family will not fall to the ground because of me.”

“Why?”

“Because my brother will upload it again.”

“…….”

Sanggwan Hong had no choice but to admit that Wi Yeonho's words were not wrong.

The reason why the status of the Guangdong Wei family is rising rapidly is largely due to the emergence of outstanding figures such as the Zheng He Jian Wei Zheng Han and the Cheok Ma Jian Wei Shan Hao, who are competing to be the next best swordsman in the world.

Where there is light, there is darkness.

Normally, when a great successor appears, all of his brothers should be great people as well, but when the older brother's presence is great, many of his younger brothers cannot overcome his light and become crooked.

So even if Wei Yanhu is a coward, most martial artists will not ignore Guangdong Weihu because of that cowardly existence.

"joy."

Geumbong Namgung Hye supported Sanggwan Hong.

“Doesn’t that mean you’re admitting you’re a coward?”

It could have been a very shameful thing to say.

… …if it were someone else.

“I am a coward.”

"……yes?"

When Wei Yanhu looked back, Wei Shulian nodded.

“My brother is a bit timid.”

“If you show off for no reason, you’ll die young. It’s better for people to be a little scared.”

“Yeah, brother.”

Namgung Hye's lips trembled.

What on earth does that family do?

For her, who grew up in the strict traditions of the Namgung family, the words and actions of her siblings were completely incomprehensible.

“And there’s another problem, I haven’t learned the sword of the Guangdong Wei family. So if you want to learn the sword of the Guangdong Wei family……”

When Wei Yanhu looked up, Wei Shulian waved her hand.

“Brother, I can’t do that either. My father said that the Flying Dragon Sword isn’t a sword that’s suitable for women, so I learned something else.”

Wi Yeon-ho nodded.

“Did you hear that? That’s too bad.”

Sanggwanhong's face turned red and blue.

Doesn't wanting to see the sword of the Guangdong Wei family mean wanting to see the Guangdong Wei family's martial arts?

“So, you’re saying that you won’t do it now!”

“Yeah. Why bother doing that?”

Wi Yeon-ho said as if he couldn't understand at all. Gong Mu-jin, Sanggwan Hong, and so on… … All of these people called Kang Ho-in seemed to be people who were impatient because they couldn't fight.

'Come to think of it, my house is the same.'

It was equally difficult to understand Wi Jeong-han and Wi Yeon-ho, who abandoned their homes and ran away to become a traitor and are still being retaliated against, and Wi San-ho, who would throw his wooden sword and shout, "Let's see what you're capable of!" whenever he saw them.

Why do people say that it's good to get beaten and beaten?

At that moment, Gong Mu-jin slowly opened his mouth.

“……But didn’t you say that you would definitely accept a challenge if given? Last time, the time before that.”

It was an unforgettable statement, since I was the one who was devastated when I heard it last time.

“That was when my sword was challenged. This time, it’s the Guangdongwei family’s business, so you can just let it go.”

Gong Mu-jin laughed in vain at Wi Yeon-ho's words.

“Usually, isn’t family origin more important?”

“Well, that’s true, but…….”

Wi Yeon-ho scratched his head.

“In my family, there are other people besides me, like my older brother and my father. But my master died alone as an old man, so if it weren’t for me, there would be no one to protect his honor.”

It was the moment when Baek Mu-han, who was the luxurious prince and luxurious old man of the time, suddenly fell to being an old man living alone.

If Baek Mu-han had heard, he would have foamed at the mouth and said he would beat that damn disciple to death, but unfortunately, the only being in the martial arts world who could fix Wei Yan-ho's arrogance had already ascended to heaven.

“……I don’t know if the teacher will be happy or angry when he hears this.”

Of course he would have been angry, but Gong Mu-jin, who did not know Baek Mu-han's personality, could not say anything else.

“Huh?”

And Sanggwan Hong did not miss a single word that he needed to hear from Wei Yanhui’s mouth.

'You are sure to accept any challenge to your sword?'

I don't like the look of the challenge at all, but the reality is that if you take on a challenge and embarrass yourself, the original look will disappear.

Sanggwan Hong opened his mouth with a bitter smile.

“Then how about I challenge the sword of Sohyeop? It is not the sword of Guangdongwei, but the sword of Wiyeonho, the sword of Sohyeop, that I, the superior, challenge.”

'I guess I can't get out of here anymore.'

When Wi Yeon-ho's face hardened upon hearing those words, Sanggwan Hong felt secretly delighted.

'Tsk tsk tsk.'

And the officials who saw that sight clicked their tongues inwardly.

If you want to die, why don't you just carry a bundle of firewood and jump into the fire or throw yourself into the Yellow River? Do you really want to die so miserably?

Gong Mu-jin looked at Wi Yeon-ho and prayed for the repose of Sanggwan Hong's soul.

However, Wi Yeon-ho, who was expected to naturally accept Gong Mu-jin's challenge, was sighing with an uneasy look on his face.

“Why are you doing that?”

“Well, I’m a little confused.”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“I really don’t know what to say about this…….”

Wi Yeon-ho glanced at Sanggwan Hong and slowly opened his mouth.
