Chu Yang laughed heartily and said ominously, “What if one day I really want to betray you? What if I want to kill you?”
“Boss, you’ve made a mistake,” Gu Duxing sighed, “You shouldn’t have said that. Now that you have, how can you betray us in the future? At most, we’ll just pretend to be confused when you do.”
“Hahaha… alright, if the boss wants to betray us, just let us know in advance so we can prepare our emotions and act confused.” Everyone burst into laughter, and a warm sense of camaraderie spread among them.
Mo Tianji also smiled.
He understood that what Chu Yang was saying now sounded like nonsense to the brothers! But this nonsense was essential.
Because, in the future, when they reach the higher realms, the secrets they encounter will multiply. After coming into contact with these secrets, the matters concerning the Nine Calamity Sword Master and the Nine Calamities will eventually be brought to light.
What Chu Yang said now was nonsense; however, when the time comes and the brothers find out for themselves, it will be much more than mere nonsense.
At the very least, a psychological knot will definitely form!
Chu Yang's openness may seem silly, naive, and nonsensical, but it prevented the greatest potential for division among the brothers in the future!
It seemed that Chu Yang was thinking further than he realized…
“Boss, you’ve said nice things, and you’ve also said bad things; shouldn’t it be time to talk about serious matters?” Mo Tianji said.
“Of course, we have to talk about serious matters.” Chu Yang laughed heartily.
He then asked, “Have you all seen enough? If you’ve seen enough, I’ll put away the Nine Calamity Sword.”
“Not enough!” the six of them exclaimed in unison, “We could watch it for another ten thousand years and still not have enough!”
“Even if you haven’t seen enough, it’s going away.” Chu Yang snorted and waved his hand, causing the Nine Calamity Sword to rise automatically, its brilliance flashing as if bidding farewell to everyone. It then slowly shrank in mid-air before transforming into a streak of light that dove into Chu Yang's heart.
Everyone was once again amazed.
Rocky Luo stepped forward and touched Chu Yang’s left chest. He repeatedly exclaimed, “It really went in… Wow!” Suddenly, he gasped in surprise!
All the brothers were startled, “What’s wrong?”
Rocky Luo squinted, his palm gently rubbing, “Boss’s chest is quite… plump…”
“Pfft…” Mo Tianji, who had finally calmed down to drink some tea, was caught off guard by this remark and sprayed it out, coughing repeatedly.
Laughter erupted!
“Little Wolf, you’ve been single for so long, do you have a preference for this?” Ji Mo teased in a strange tone.
Chu Yang slapped Rocky Luo’s hand away and angrily exclaimed, “You’re already a rogue with women, and now you have eyes for men too? This is absolutely intolerable!”
Rocky Luo widened his mouth, “That’s unfair… I just touched it…”
“Hahaha…”
After laughing for a while, the atmosphere relaxed. Chu Yang smiled and spoke, “Our lowest cultivation level is now saint level ninth rank. Duxing is already at supreme first rank among swords! In terms of our ages and cultivation levels, even among the Nine Great Clans in the upper three heavens, we are already extraordinary talents!”
“We really have the right to be proud!”
“With our strength, and with everyone united, we can certainly dominate in the upper three heavens.”
“As long as the boss says to charge, we can swarm up and cut down the Nine Great Clans!”
Chu Yang smiled faintly and asked, “Is that what you all think?”
The crowd suddenly felt awkward.
Ji Mo and Rocky Luo coughed and turned away, their faces turning red. Ao Xieyun and Xie Danqiong coughed lightly, and Gu Duxing’s face also had a hint of redness.
Earlier, when Chu Yang spoke, everyone thought it was a confirmation and listened with excitement, but by the last two sentences, they realized it wasn’t what they expected.
