Chapter 95

Everyone was skilled in lightness kung fu, moving extremely fast... Oh, that's not right, Guo Jing's lightness kung fu was indeed not outstanding. He ran with large strides, thudding heavily with each step, like a clumsy bear... But with Ma Yu leading him, there was no fear of losing him. They all ran out of the city gate and only stopped when they reached a desolate abandoned village!

Su Yi reattached the Qingming Sword to his waist and bowed respectfully to Qiu Chuji, saying, "Disciple greets Master!"

"Good, good, good! Hahaha~ Truly worthy of being my good disciple!"

Qiu Chuji had already thought it through on the way. No matter where his disciple had obtained his extraordinary skills, he was still his disciple. He had been worried that with Guo Jing obtaining the先天功 (Xiantian Gong), Su Yi would not be able to match him! Now it seemed that even if Guo Jing had both the先天功 (Xiantian Gong) and the后天功 (Houtian Gong), it would be of no use... At that moment, he felt refreshed and couldn't help but laugh heartily!

Su Yi bowed to Ma Yu again and said, "Greetings, Uncle Master. When I sent my mother out of the Prince's mansion, I managed to avoid everyone and created a false impression, making people think that my mother and I had been kidnapped. This way, my father would have no clue where to look... Sha Tongtian and Peng Lianhu are the only ones who know the truth. If they told my father that I had taken my mother to Zhongnan Mountain, he would surely lead a large army to attack. Even if Uncle Master doesn't care about the destruction of the Quanzhen Sect under the army's iron hooves, I cannot ignore my mother's safety. Therefore, I did not follow Uncle Master's order and directly killed the two of them. I hope Uncle Master will forgive me!"

Although his words were extremely respectful, Su Yi's resentment was evident, and his words were sharp, making Ma Yu laugh bitterly!

Qiu Chuji, standing beside him, also said disapprovingly, "That's right. Brother, you were indeed too rash. Fortunately, Kang's martial arts have greatly improved, or he might have been killed by your palm strike. Moreover, what he said just now is very reasonable. Since Wanyan Honglie doesn't know where Yang's wife and Kang have gone, he has no way to find them. If he knew that Kang had taken his mother to Zhongnan Mountain, our Quanzhen Sect would not be able to escape the army's iron hooves."

Ma Yu sighed deeply and said, "This was indeed my rashness. When I saw someone suddenly attack, I instinctively tried to stop them, not realizing the situation. In this case, Sha Tongtian and Peng Lianhu indeed deserved to die! I was wrong... Fortunately, Kang, your internal skills are profound, and you were not injured! Otherwise, if I had mistakenly injured a disciple of the sect, I would have to resign as the leader to atone for my mistake."

"But... Kang, you..." Ma Yu seemed to want to ask where Su Yi had obtained such profound internal skills... But then he thought, since he had already given the most powerful Quanzhen Sect skill, the先天功 (Xiantian Gong), to Guo Jing, could he demand that Su Yi must use Quanzhen Sect skills and not learn from other sects?

That would be like forcing him to admit defeat! Since his skills were already formed, no matter what he said, it would be useless. Could he really force him to abandon his internal skills?

He glanced lovingly at Guo Jing, who had just been making him happy with his profound internal skills, thinking that he had a sure victory. But compared to his nephew, Guo Jing's internal skills were nothing to be proud of! All his efforts had been in vain...

Well, it's a matter for the younger generation. I shouldn't interfere so much. If I keep nitpicking, it will only invite criticism...

Ma Yu sighed slightly and then pulled Guo Jing over, saying, "Jing, this is the son of your father's sworn brother, Yang Kang. You two are old friends. You should get to know each other better!"

Guo Jing was immediately shocked, looking at Su Yi with disbelief. He asked in surprise, "Are you really that Yang brother?"

Su Yi smiled and said, "Of course. If I didn't know you were Guo Jing, why would I have left the Prince's mansion and come back to save you? I may not be a bad person, but I wouldn't take such risks for a stranger!"

Guo Jing then remembered that this person was his savior and quickly bowed respectfully, saying, "Guo Jing has yet to thank you, Yang brother, for saving my life!"

Su Yi's eyes twinkled, and a slightly malicious smile appeared on his lips. He said, "There's no need for such formality between us. And you don't have to call me Yang brother... Our ancestors were old friends, and we have already made a blood pact before we were born. Even though we haven't sworn as brothers, we can consider ourselves sworn brothers! If you don't mind, just call me big brother!"

Qiu Chuji and Ma Yu were speechless. Clearly, Guo Jing was older, and if they were to swear as brothers, Guo Jing should be the elder. But Su Yi had already started calling him "Xian Di" (younger brother), and his intentions were obvious—he didn't want to be the younger brother!

Guo Jing, being naive, didn't understand Su Yi's ulterior motives. Seeing that this "Yang big brother" was so friendly, he happily bowed to Su Yi, saying, "Big brother, please accept my bow!"

He then respectfully thumped his head three times on the ground!

"Little brother, please get up quickly!" Su Yi hurriedly helped the naive boy up. Surprisingly, despite kicking him from the elder position to the younger, he felt no sense of achievement. He realized that this guy was too stupid, and bullying him gave no pleasure.

He then took out the dagger with "Guo Jing" engraved on it from his pocket and handed it to Guo Jing, saying, "Little brother, since we have met, this dagger should return to its rightful owner. Keep it! Although it's small, it can cut through iron like butter, making it a good weapon for self-defense!"

"Thank you, big brother!" Guo Jing took the dagger, pulled it out to admire it for a moment, and then suddenly remembered something, looking embarrassed. "Big brother, I am incompetent. The dagger with your name engraved on it was taken from me years ago. But big brother, rest assured, I will search the world to find it for you!"

"That's not necessary..." Su Yi waved to Mu Niannv, signaling her to come over. He said, "Little brother, this Mu girl is actually our sister. You stood up for her today and criticized me, which surprised me."

Guo Jing scratched his head, smiling foolishly. "Rong has already told me. She said you were standing up for Mu girl, and I was confused, mistaking you for a troublemaker. Big brother, please don't blame me."

"Of course not, since you had good intentions..." When Mu Niannv came over, Su Yi pulled her and said to Guo Jing, "But calling her Mu girl is not right. She is our third sister. We should be as close as a family, so there's no need to be so formal!"

Mu Niannv, who was well aware of the relationship between the Guo and Yang families, knew that this young man in front of her could indeed be considered her elder brother. She bowed slightly, saying, "Niannv greets Second Brother Guo."

Su Yi smiled and said, "Little brother, the dagger you lost ended up in my hands by chance. It is now with Niannv. This shows that fate has brought us together as brothers!"

He then smiled happily and said to Qiu Chuji, "Master, Uncle Master, why don't you two be witnesses as we swear our brotherhood here? With heaven as our witness and earth as our proof, isn't this better than all the formalities?"

Seeing the young people getting along so well, Ma Yu and Qiu Chuji were already very pleased. Hearing Su Yi's words, Qiu Chuji excitedly slapped his thigh and said, "That's right, Kang, you truly understand my heart!"

At that moment, the three of them knelt before Qiu Chuji and Ma Yu. Su Yi took the opportunity to greet Huang Rong, smiling kindly, "Miss Huang, would you like to join us in our brotherhood?"

"No... no, you go ahead, hehe... I don't need to..." Huang Rong awkwardly refused Su Yi's request.

"Rong, why don't we all swear together?" Guo Jing, seeing Su Yi inviting Huang Rong, thought it would be great if she joined.

Huang Rong awkwardly laughed, secretly cursing Guo Jing for being so dense. She thought, "My silly brother, if I really swear with you and become siblings, how could I marry you in the future? Can't you think of that?"
