CHAPTER 46: How About Extorting You?
Jun Xizhu's face darkened, her expression serious as she asked, “Which old fool has come down?”
Young Master Wei showed a strange expression, seeming a bit confused and lost. When he heard the question, he didn’t answer but instead asked earnestly in return, “Xizhu, do you think… in this world, are there brothers who would share life and death?”
Jun Xizhu was taken aback, thought for a moment, and replied, “I can’t say there aren’t. There are legends about such bonds. But in reality, I’ve never seen one.”
Young Master Wei nodded, quietly saying, “But I have seen one.”
He sighed, “So it really exists!”
Human nature is the dirtiest thing. Young Master Wei never believed in feelings, especially when he encountered those so-called sworn brothers. When he pushed them to a dead end, he would always propose a condition: only one of them could live.
At that time, watching the two of them turn on each other, Young Master Wei would coldly observe the ugly nature of humanity, thoroughly mocking the so-called brotherhood. He would mercilessly whip and ridicule their so-called friendship, ultimately leading to one of them dying…
He had done such things more than once, and no one had the courage to exchange their own life for that of a brother when facing Young Master Wei.
Because they all believed that someone like Young Master Wei would never show sympathy and would never allow two heroes to walk free together.
But just a day ago, Chu Yang had used his own flesh and blood to block a sword for Dong Wushang without a second thought! And Dong Wushang had also attacked himself without hesitation for Chu Yang!
Did Dong Wushang really not know that he could crush him with just one finger? He certainly did! But… why?
This incident overturned Young Master Wei’s belief that “human nature is despicable, and everyone can be killed!”
Jun Xizhu did not respond, only snorting softly, “Who hurt you?”
“Don’t ask about this,” Young Master Wei said lightly, “It’s not as serious as you think.”
Jun Xizhu nodded, saying, “As long as you know.” She understood that if Young Master Wei didn’t want to say, no one could pry it out of him. It would be pointless to ask.
As they spoke, Jun Luolu and Mo Qingwu also walked in.
Mo Qingwu had changed into a red outfit, looking bright and adorable. The young girl, just beginning to blossom, resembled a delicate orchid about to bloom; her little face was radiant, and her smooth black hair cascaded down. A delicate butterfly crafted from Crimson Cloud Steel was poised to take flight atop her head.
Her eyes were bright and expressive, with long eyelashes resembling a dream, her innocent expression carrying a hint of cleverness, and her pointed chin showing a trace of stubbornness…
“Where is Brother Chu Yang? Is he in the mountains?” Mo Qingwu pouted, asking eagerly; her pleading eyes looked at Jun Luolu, appearing quite pitiful.
“Chu Yang?” Young Master Wei instinctively replied, “I just had a fight with him…”
“Ah?” Mo Qingwu's mouth opened slightly, her anxiety rising immediately. “Is he hurt?”
Young Master Wei perked up, rolling his eyes, “What does it matter if he’s hurt or not? Can't I just beat him up?”
“No!” Mo Qingwu's eyes widened, puffing her cheeks as she stared fiercely at Young Master Wei. “Why did you hit my Brother Chu Yang?”
“Uh?…” Young Master Wei scratched his head, looking at Jun Luolu. “Where did this girl come from? Did you bring a little girl to teach me a lesson?”
Jun Luolu couldn’t help but chuckle and said, “She is the apple of Chu King of Hell’s eye; you can say whatever about hitting Chu King of Hell in front of anyone, but not in front of her.”
“Did you really hit him?” Mo Qingwu glared at Young Master Wei, her eyes turning slightly red. “Did it hurt him?”
Young Master Wei surrendered immediately under Mo Qingwu’s clear gaze, “I didn’t hit him; it was he who hit me! Look at me, look at me, how pitiful…”
