Taejonbirok Volume 26, Episode 5
Chapter 138: Welcome the Lazy Man (5)
And as the atmosphere grew cold, the one who was most troubled was, of course, Baek-san.
The crowd's gaze focused on Baek San. Baek San, facing the accusations and anger, lowered his body slightly.
'That clueless author!'
'What does a country bumpkin from Haenam know? He's making things like this.'
'I'm definitely going to like that kid, I definitely will!'
The gaze was excessively murderous for a leader of a prestigious clan.
That's understandable.
The name of a prestigious school is not something that is easily maintained.
Throughout history, countless great sects have emerged, surpassing the old sects. However, while they may have surpassed the old sects in the short term, they ultimately failed to surpass them in the long run.
Because their behavior was different.
Maintaining a name in the martial arts world is like walking a tightrope.
Those who can handle it will do so in some way.
Those who cannot handle it are completely ignored.
And those who must accept the damage and deal with it are treated by thoroughly calculating the degree of benefit and damage.
This process was so natural to them.
Then what about Wi Yeon-ho?
It was a position that no sect could even touch. Seriously, how could a single sect possibly deal with that monster?
The difference between Wei Yan-ho when he first appeared and Wei Yan-ho now is extreme.
'That damn punk.'
Chiljishin-gae's face turned bright red.
That guy is seriously mistaken right now.
Wei Yanhu's influence is certainly formidable. Currently, all sects are watching Wei Yanhu's every move. And with Kwon Geuk now out of power, the Shin Gi-su, arguably the most unwavering leader of the Jeongmu Alliance, is protecting Wei Yanhu.
So, isn't Wei Yanho's power amazing?
'you're welcome.'
To be precise, it's true that he had great influence. But it's not as if Wei Yanhu was treated appropriately for his accomplishments.
If another man had achieved the same feats as Wei Yanhu, it wouldn't be surprising if he were reigning as the emperor of the martial arts world by now. This doesn't mean he would truly become emperor, but it wouldn't be surprising if he were treated accordingly.
However, Wei Yanhu was receiving poor treatment compared to what he had achieved.
Why?
'Because I don't show it off.'
That's just how the world is.
You might think that if you achieve a certain level of accomplishment, people will recognize you, but that's not always the case. If you don't brag about it, no one will bother to treat you well.
However, Wei Yanhu does not boast about his own achievements.
No, to be precise, from the moment he returned to the political alliance, he never appeared in public. He just slept in a corner of his room.
Instead, Wi Jeong-han, who should have put Wi Yeon-ho forward, was so naturally steeped in negotiation that he didn't know how to do so. Instead, he went around begging for Wi Yeon-ho to take care of his son.
'You're like the most frustrating nobles in the world.'
That's why even those bastards like Baeksan are installed.
It was strange that the leader of the Daehannam faction was treated like a commoner, but compared to the achievements of Wi Yeon-ho, it would have been nothing to complain about if the leader of a more established faction had been treated like a commoner.
But that Baeksan has now touched Wei Yanho's sensitive spot.
Chiljisingae knew.
How poisonous a person Wei Yanho is.
Others would never have guessed. Even looking at his appearance, they wouldn't have thought Wei Yanhu was a ruthless person. Appearances create far greater prejudice than one might think.
But Chiljishin-gae is different.
He had been tracking Wei Yanhu's every move since he first appeared in the martial arts world. Therefore, he knew better than anyone how decisive and cruel Wei Yanhu could be when necessary.
There are people in this world who, if left untouched, cause no trouble, but who explode the moment they are touched, like bombs. As far as Chiljishinkai knew, Wei Yanho was exactly that kind of person.
Baek San is now lighting the fuse attached to the explosive called Wi Yeon Ho.
Chiljishin-gae couldn't help but wonder how to deal with this matter.
"dole."
At that time, the official struck the player.
“All anger comes from the mouth.”
“Huh? Me?”
When Wi Yeon-ho pointed at himself, Gongmu waved both hands violently.
“Ah, no! Not the one above, but that… that human! That guy! That guy!”
It was a moment when the reputation of Gongmu, the head of Shaolin, plummeted without mercy.
The others were also taken aback by Gongmu's reaction. It was something that should never have come from the mouth of a Shaolin monk. At the same time, everyone understood.
Rather than causing unnecessary misunderstandings with Wi Yeon-ho, it's better to just lose face.
“Witchcraft? That’s a bit harsh!”
Song Hyeon quickly helped Gongmu with his words.
“That’s right! Witchcraft!”
“You don’t even know what witchcraft is, do you? You’re talking about witchcraft!”
The elders, sensing the mood, quickly responded. Baek San's face began to turn pale.
“So what if it’s witchcraft? As long as the results are good, that’s all that matters!”
“I, Namgung Gaju, that’s too much.”
"Did I say something wrong? The demonic cultists use all sorts of sorcery and cowardly tricks to get away with it, yet we have to deal with them fairly. How can such an unfair thing happen?"

Although it was a radical statement, there were also some words of sympathy.
"And to begin with, sorcery and such are arbitrary. If you're going to be so critical, why do you condone the use of poison by the Tang family? Where is there sorcery more severe than poison? How can you overlook that while refusing to tolerate the rest? Where is such an unfair standard?"
Just as everyone was about to nod, Wei Yanho's head tilted slightly.
“Are you saying that I used witchcraft?”
“Oh, no, that’s not it!”
Namgung Jo-wi wiped the cold sweat running down his forehead.
'Even if you defend that kid, he's a piece of shit.'
But what can I do, it's a sin to be powerless.
"Of course, the above-mentioned So-hyeop didn't use sorcery. Isn't that a well-known fact? Our children, who were saved by the above-mentioned So-hyeop, are all grateful to him. How can it not be ridiculous for those involved to come forward and accuse others of sorcery when the parties involved are grateful?"
“Hmm.”
Wi Yeon-ho nodded slightly.
This seems to have caught on.
Namgung Jo-wi sighed secretly.
'I should retire because I'm dirty.'
Even if they successfully repel the demonic cult, such incidents will continue to recur. Those who survive in the martial world will ultimately have no choice but to watch Wei Yanhu's every move.
This becomes more evident when you look at the faces of those gathered here.
Even these people do not dare to go against Wei Yanhu, so who can come forward and criticize Wei Yanhu?
'This is unprecedented.'
No, there is a precedent.
It's said that this situation arose in the past, when Emperor Geumhwang was known not only as the greatest in the world, but also as the greatest of all time. I've heard that even more severe incidents occurred frequently back then.
So wouldn't something like that have happened?
Back then, no one could control Baek Mu-han. Even his family, the Mangeom Baekga, was busy keeping an eye on him. Perhaps the same holds true now.
"People don't know how to be nice to others. If you keep acting like this, I might just leave. I think I understand why Master did that. So…"
That was when.
“Wei Yan Ho.”
A cold voice called out to Wei Yanhu. Wei Yanhu turned his head slightly.
A firm, hardened face was glaring at him.
“There is nothing I can’t say when I’m with the elders.”
“No, that’s not it…….”
“Oh.”
When Wi Jeong-han became serious, Wi Yeon-ho felt a pang.
Although Wi Yeon-ho is usually the one who can be rude to Wi Jeong-han, when Wi Jeong-han becomes serious, even Wi Yeon-ho can't help but flinch. That's what a father is like.
“Come in.”
"yes."
As Wei Yanho quietly returned to his seat next to Wei Jeonghan, everyone sighed. Yet, they didn't forget to give Wei Jeonghan a grateful look.
The righteous man stood up from his seat and took the prize.
"I'd like to apologize on your behalf. I gave birth to you as my child, but I failed to raise you properly. I may be rude, but I'm not a bad person by nature, so I hope you'll be kind to me."
“Ah, what are you talking about? We should be the ones apologizing.”
“Well then, well then. That person came out for no reason.”
The atmosphere became slightly more cheerful.
Wi Jeong-han, who had roughly summarized the situation, raised his head and looked at Baek-san.
"I also offer my apologies to the Jangmunin of Haenam. I don't want to deny that there was room for suspicion. However, there's a reason why the history of the reign title is so exaggerated that I can't reveal it to others. I guarantee on my own behalf and the Gwangdongwi family's own behalf that no untoward incident occurred during the process."
“If the Lord says so…….”
Baeksando also quietly curled up his tail.
Guangdong Wei Family's guarantee.
Just six months ago, these words would have been meaningless. But now, the words "Guangdongweiga's guarantee" carried immense weight.
“I will also guarantee it.”
The new detective raised one arm.
"I can't vouch for anyone in the name of the Jeongmu Alliance. Especially now, when the leader is gone. But I, Shin Gi-su-sa Jo Hyeon, will vouch for you in my personal name. Wi Yeon-ho is not a man of such greatness!"
The new investigator spoke with confidence.
And I meant it.
'At that time, you should lie down and sleep well.'
Even sorcery is only for those with the will to use it. Wei Yanhu preferred sleeping to growing stronger. Would someone like that bother using sorcery to become stronger?
Anyone who knew even a little about Wei Yanho would agree with this.
“So, is it sorted out?”
“Yes.”
“I wasted time unnecessarily.”
The new investigator's words were met with a swift response. Everyone seemed eager to somehow resolve the situation and move on to the next topic.
Shin Ki-su, who had read their expressions, opened his mouth slightly.
"Then there's something we need to discuss first. It's about this series of seizures and dysentery."
"yes."
“In fact, although Wei Yanho did treat those who had seizures, the fundamental problem was not solved.”
“That’s definitely true.”
"Treating after an attack is pointless. We need to prevent the attack. This is why we couldn't properly deal with Baekgeomseong."
“Is there a solution?”
"We're researching a cure at our clinic. We should have an answer by now. Perhaps by now…"
At that moment, the sound of someone running outside the door was heard.
“I guess I have the answer.”
The new investigator looked at the door with a slightly tense expression. If it were to be said that treatment was impossible, things would become more complicated. Somehow, the results would be…
Bam!
The door opened and a man in a daze rushed in.
“So, what was the result?”
"This is serious! Sir! The White Sword Stars are approaching!"
"huh?"
The new detective's face became blank at the completely unexpected words.
