From Joy of Life to Becoming a Saint

Chapter 7: Unexpectedly Gaining a Little Brother
In the room on the third floor, Chen Qiye, Liu Qin and the other two had been toasting each other for several rounds.

Except for Chen Qiye, the other two were already blushing.

Ye Dan was so impressed that he kept clasping his fists to Chen Qiye: "Brother Chen's alcohol tolerance is really amazing. Brother Liu said before that Brother Chen can drink ten cups at a time without changing his expression. I was a little skeptical, but now I am completely convinced."

"Brother Chen is not only an extraordinary archer and a great drinker, but his knowledge and conversation are also very impressive. Although I am only 26 years old, I cannot help but respect Brother Chen like an elder brother."

"How about this, today I will worship Brother Chen as my elder brother, and from now on Brother Chen will be my Ye Dan's elder brother. Big brother, please accept my respects."

While Chen Qiye was still confused, Ye Dan had already bowed to him with a wine glass in hand.

This attitude doesn't even mean they are sworn brothers, but rather they just directly acknowledge themselves as the boss.

This amount of wine is definitely not enough to make him drunk. Does this person really want to get closer to me?
Chen Qiye thought about it and soon figured it out.

He had learned from Liu Qin before that Ye Dan was just a side branch relative of the Ye family, and not very close to them, so he just did odd jobs.

Now that Chen Qiye has received special attention from the Ye family, they immediately begin to pay homage to him.

Chen Qiye was very worried. Could this realistic martial arts technique be worth two thousand five hundred taels?
Although he was complaining in his heart, he still smiled and said, "Brother Ye, what are you doing? Please stand up quickly and don't kneel down. This is not good."

Liu Qin, who was about to try to persuade him, was stunned. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Ye Dan, thinking, he is not ready to kneel. He is just worshipping the eldest brother, not the godfather.

Ye Dan almost suffocated, but the atmosphere was now such that it seemed unreasonable not to kneel down.

Helplessly, in order to have a better future, Ye Dan gritted his teeth and fell to his knees with a plop.

"Big brother, please bow to me."

Chen Qiye was just testing the waters, but he didn't expect that this man was so courageous that he actually knelt down before him.

I have to say, it would be nice to have such a little brother and keep him for later.

"Since such a kind invitation is hard to refuse, then Chen will not postpone it. Xiaodan, get up!"

Chen Qiye raised his hand to support himself. The way he sat and the tone of his voice, if one had touched his beard, someone who didn't know would have thought he was becoming a disciple.

Liu Qin almost laughed out loud, this guy had the nerve to call her "Xiaodan" so naturally, he really was Brother Chen, he was so thick-skinned.

Xiaodan stood up with a pained look on her face and sat back on the stool. She took out a blue-covered book from her arms and handed it to Chen Qiye with a smile.

"Since you are meeting me as your elder brother, then as your younger brother, I must have a gift. This Xingyun Gong is my gift to elder brother Chen."

"Cloud Walking Skill?"

Chen Qiye's purpose was to learn the martial arts, so he didn't act pretentiously. He took it and read it carefully.

"Brother Chen, to be honest, I am just a handyman. I am not even qualified to touch the most external techniques. But one time, I accidentally completed some tasks for Master Ye Renxin and did some dirty work. That's when I was promoted to the job of registering the roster."

"This technique was also given to me by Lord Ye. It is an internal technique developed from the Ye family's martial arts. It may not be a truly good technique, but it is certainly not bad."

Chen Qiye was surprised and said, "You look kind, but I didn't expect you to be capable of killing people and robbing them?"

Ye Dan waved his hands hurriedly: "Brother Chen, don't get me wrong. It's literally dirty work. I helped Lord Ye's youngest son pick up things from the toilet a few times."

Chen Qiye: “???”

Liu Qin: "???"

Chen Qiye's mind was filled with excitement, and he didn't ask any more questions. He continued to look at the technique in his hand, nodding as he read: "This technique is indeed pretty good."

This Xingyun Gong is indeed quite good and can greatly speed up the pace of cultivation, but it has a drawback, which is that it is very difficult to comprehend.

The Ye family's martial arts came from the grandmaster Ye Liuyun. Ye Liuyun was a gifted strong man. His understanding was extremely difficult for ordinary people to comprehend, and the martial arts that evolved from it were similar.

I guess everyone in the Ye family knows that this technique can make one very powerful if practiced, but basically no one can practice it, so it has become a mascot, and it's perfect to use it as a gift to do favors.

But this was no problem at all for Chen Qiye. He didn't need to comprehend it at all. He could learn it automatically after reading it once. This was the advantage of having a cheat. The more Chen Qiye read, the more satisfied he became.

"Xiao Dan, this is indeed a good technique."

As he spoke, Chen Qiye took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and said, "This is two thousand five hundred taels."

Ye Dan immediately pushed the banknote back: "Brother Chen, I told you this is a meeting gift, how can I accept your money?"

"It's okay, just take it."

"Brother Chen." Ye Dan's face turned pale.

Chen Qiye was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that if he insisted on giving the money, wouldn't it be equivalent to rejecting the other party's surrender? But Chen Qiye swore that he really didn't have such an idea.

However, he thought no one would believe him, so he had to take back the banknote.

"Xiao Dan, don't worry. I may not join the Ye family in the future, but I will definitely help you become rich and not be worse off than the Ye family."

Ye Dan didn't quite understand, but it didn't matter. With the strength Chen Qiye had shown now, there would be no problem for him to enter the Ye family.

"Thank you, Brother Chen."

Chen Qiye smiled slightly: "Tell me the truth, why are you in such a hurry to get the money? Is there any urgent need for it?"

"this···"

Ye Dan scratched his head, then nodded and said, "It does require some money."

"How much?"

"About three hundred taels."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qiye casually took out five hundred taels of silver and stuffed it into his hand.

"Don't refuse. This is a gift from your elder brother to your younger brother."

Ye Dan gritted his teeth, then clasped his fists and bowed: "Thank you, Brother Chen."

Liu Qin was able to interrupt at this time, holding up his wine glass and smiling, "You two, have you finished worshipping? Let's continue drinking!"

"Okay, let's do one together."

Just after the three of them clinked glasses together, a voice was heard outside the door.

"Excuse me, gentlemen."

The door opened, and Manager Zhang from Yingchun Tower walked in with Qin Feier.

Liu Qin asked in confusion: "Mother Zhang, Miss Fei'er, what are you doing?"

Zhang Hua clapped her legs and smiled, "Ahaha, it's like this. Before, Master Chen said he wanted to talk to Fei'er, but Fei'er wasn't available at that time. Now it's convenient, so I brought Fei'er to accompany Master Chen."

Chen Qiye narrowed his eyes, thinking what kind of routine was this? Could it be that the kid from the Bai family left?
"Fei'er, go and drink with Master Chen. I won't disturb the gentlemen's leisure."

After Zhang Hua finished speaking, she left the room directly.

Ye Dan looked at Qin Feier, then at his elder brother, and said hesitantly: "Brother Liu, how about we go out for some fresh air?"

Liu Qin was also wondering why Qin Feier came at this time, but this was not his concern. Some things were better to turn a blind eye, so he nodded.

"Brother Ye, what you said makes sense. It is indeed a bit boring to stay in the room for a long time. Let's go out and get some fresh air."

After the two left, Chen Qiye and Qin Feier were the only ones left in the room.
