Transcending the Nine Heavens

CHAPTER SIXTEEN: Sworn Brothers?!

“Is this enough, Brother Chu?” Chu Yang had somewhat gotten used to calling him Brother Chu.

“It's enough, enough! Absolutely enough!” Chu Feiling's body trembled slightly as he said, “Actually, just one piece would have sufficed; this is simply too much.”

Chu Yang waved him off, “Take it all; after all, this matter is crucial, and we cannot be careless. If it turns out to be insufficient, it could be troublesome.”

Chu Feiling, excited, reached out his hand but suddenly retracted it and said earnestly, “Little brother, this Mysterious Sun Jade Heart is a priceless treasure! Taking this from you makes me uncomfortable! How about this: you name a price, and I’ll buy it!”

He smiled somewhat sheepishly and continued, “Of course, no matter the price, it can’t compare to the true value of this Mysterious Sun Jade Heart! But… please give me a chance; let me at least ease my conscience a bit…”

“Now that’s really too much of a courtesy.” Chu Yang laughed, “We’ve been through life and death together, and in critical moments, you’ve always stood in front of me… If we’re going to talk about this friendship, to involve money would truly sadden me.”

Chu Feiling was clearly stirred, his eyes reddening as he hoarsely said, “Thank you, little brother!” He finally accepted the Mysterious Sun Jade Heart and silently vowed to himself: although little brother does not seek any reward, I absolutely cannot let him down!

For cultivators, the most important thing is the improvement of strength, and Amethyst plays a significant role in that. Although I cannot produce much, the Chu Family can certainly gather a few thousand pieces; when the time comes, I will use Amethyst to help little brother enhance his strength!

Even if it’s just for this genuine sentiment, spending a few thousand pieces of Amethyst is worth it! Moreover, it’s incredibly worth it!

With the Mysterious Sun Jade Heart already in his hand, Chu Feiling still felt as if he were dreaming! This problem that had troubled the entire family was just… resolved?

And it was with the very first person he met after coming to the Middle Three Heavens, merely a façade, who unexpectedly had the Mysterious Sun Jade!

Chu Feiling felt that his luck was truly outstanding.

The two continued forward, quickly exiting the Fiery Mountain Range, finding a shaded spot to sit down and rest for a while.

“Little brother, may I ask where your master is from?” Chu Feiling, in great spirits, had developed a desire to chat, “Looking at your demeanor, it must be from a prominent family, right?”

“My master’s surname is Meng.” Chu Yang chuckled, a complex and inscrutable expression flashing in his eyes, “As for my family… indeed not small, hehehe…”

“I guessed as much. If it were an ordinary family, they likely wouldn’t be able to cultivate someone as remarkable as you, the dragon and phoenix among men!” Chu Feiling lamented somewhat, filled with emotion. “Little brother’s parents must be so happy to have such a son.”

As he spoke, he sighed with infinite sorrow, evidently recalling his missing son.

“My parents…” Chu Yang's mind wandered, giving a dry laugh.

“Ah, right! Little brother; since we hit it off so well, and we trust each other deeply, I feel that little brother is truly extraordinary. I have a thought I want to share—should I mention it or not?” Chu Feiling suddenly became excited.

“What is it?” Chu Yang was astonished.

“Since we bond so well, how about we become sworn brothers?” Chu Feiling said enthusiastically, “Of course, little brother, your future is limitless. Today, it would be me, your older brother, who is taking a step up to associate with you.”

Chu Yang was instantly dumbfounded!

What? Sworn brothers? You and I… can we really do that?

Chu Yang found it difficult to swallow, giving a dry laugh, “This… this isn’t very good, is it? You’re… you’re an imperial level expert… a big figure…”
