This is not how immortals cultivate

Chapter 98 Don’t be like this, I’m afraid

Who told you to do this?
He touches people when he sees they are pretty. He is so shameless. He even touches Brother Xiao and father-in-law. Bah, even cold-blooded people can laugh at him!

After Xiao Lingyue left, Shen Wen came online, stood on the moral high ground, and criticized Dou Bi's thoughts. He couldn't believe that someone as calm as him could have such a funny side.

Funny guy: Humph, didn’t you unblock me a long time ago? Why didn’t you say anything earlier or later, but only said it after the person left? It’s obvious that you are greedy for someone’s body, and you are greedy for it secretly. You are even more despicable!

Shen Wen was furious and suppressed the funny guy who showed up, not allowing him to talk nonsense.

Xiang Yuan has three sides to one body, and because of different inclinations and emphases, the three sides have different manifestations, but the soul is just divided into three forks, not really cut. Dou Bi is interested in Xiao Lingyue, and so is calm.

In the final analysis, it has nothing to do with what kind of thoughts you have, Xiang Yuan is just like her senior sister.

However, even if he had ulterior motives towards Xiao Lingyue, he would not reveal it given the huge gap in their realms, let alone do it blatantly.

If he had a calm mind, he would have taken it step by step after catching up with Xiao Lingyue's realm, focusing on companionship, falling in love with her over time, and then being mutually attracted to her, instead of using a funny and crooked mind and taking advantage of the other person's injury to put all his efforts into making a mark.

Taking advantage of someone's misfortune is not what a gentleman does.

Doubi: So, you were unblocked a long time ago, why didn’t you say so earlier if you wanted to be a gentleman? What’s the point of being a good person now? I understand. A gentleman is calm, and taking advantage of others’ misfortunes is a joke. I deserve to be called a bastard, right?

The funny guy is online. He doesn't even tolerate himself when he gets tough with himself. He reveals his hypocritical mask of calmness and complains that Xiang Yuan is a hypocrite.

His funny side represents his true nature. The real Xiang Yuan has always been like this. His calmness is just a protective color born out of the oppressive environment.

Shen Wen: You shameless villain, how dare you confuse right and wrong here.

Doubi: Next time I meet my senior sister, I won’t show up. You, the gentleman, will do the strategy.

Shen Wen: Ah, this...

The battle between schizophrenia ended with the victory of Doubi. He was frank about what he thought, without hiding anything. He was calm and said one thing and another. Naturally, he was no match for his opponent because he couldn't stand his ground.

Shen retreated steadily and failed to act as a gentleman. His funny thoughts took over the dominant position. He was still unsatisfied and said to himself, "Mr. Shen, let me ask you, do you want to go to the Xiao Mansion tomorrow and become sworn brothers with Brother Xiao?"

After saying that, he changed his mind, and ended up giving up his seat calmly without saying a word.

Xiang Yuan: ╭(╯^╰)╮

"Humph, I gave you the chance but you didn't use it. I've already said that I'm not a gentleman at heart."

This battle seemed to determine the initiative. Among the three minds, Doubi had the upper hand. From now on, it would be up to him to decide when to switch minds, how to think about solving problems, and when to let Lengxue go out and fight.

As for being calm, it would be a shame not to use such a steady state to practice martial arts.

Let’s practice now!
In the courtyard, Senior Zhuang was inhaling and exhaling the essence of the moon. In the room, Xiang Yuan was sitting cross-legged with a five-element bead in his mouth, evolving the small five elements in his body.

The progress bar is showing encouraging signs. I feel that in another three months, I will have reached the peak of enlightenment and will be able to start working on the foundation-building stage.

In addition, one must integrate what is gained from the time travel, take the strengths of all schools, simplify the complex, and go from simple to complex, so that one's martial arts can be taken to a higher level.

This month, Xiang Yuan doesn't plan to go out and have fun. He will wait until he reaches the foundation-building stage before doing anything else.

"However, all kinds of integration need to be verified. Where can I find a whetstone with average ability and just the right quality?"

As Xiang Yuan thought this, a jade tattoo appeared on his palm. The overall strength of the Wusheng Realm was too high, so he could not enter for the time being. The low-level martial arts world was just right, and the secluded immortal sect had many opponents who were at a similar level to him.

"No need to chase the moon with a lonely star, to completely clear this world..."

Xiang Yuan made up his mind to take it step by step, starting from the low-level martial arts world and squeezing out every last bit of oil and water.

----

boom!
At the Xiao Residence, Xiang Yuan kicked open the door and saw Xiao He curled up in the quilt. He walked forward with a sincere smile on his face.

"Brother Xiao!"

Xiang Yuan said in a clear voice: "It's a nice day today. You should get some sun. It's already noon. Why are you still lying in bed?"

Xiao He did not sleep in, or rather, he secretly practiced late at night when others were not paying attention, and only took a nap in the second half of the night.

Hearing what Xiang Yuan said, he looked incredulous: "How strange! Could it be a dream? Brother Xiao Yuan actually called me 'Brother Xiao'? I'll go out and take a look. The sun must have risen from the west today."

As he said that, he stood up and opened the window.

When he saw the sun rising from the east, his face suddenly changed. He raised his hand and threw a big fist on his face.

"Who is this evildoer who is harming me? Wake up now!"

He thought he had been plotted against and was still in the illusion of Southern Xinjiang, unable to walk out.

After a big blow, Xiao He woke up. It was not a dream nor an illusion. As the sun rose in the east, Xiang Yuan called him "Brother Xiao".

This was the first time that Xiang Yuan took the initiative to call him brother. Before that, he was already giving him face by calling him Xiao Shishi!

Xiao He panicked, his face turned pale and sweaty. Last time Xiang Yuan 'lost' the sachet, he just called him "brother". Today he was promoted to "brother Xiao" and he was still so enthusiastic. I wonder how much trouble he had caused that he had to clean up.

The more you think about it, the more scared you become!
Xiao He raised his hands and calculated for a while, but he couldn't figure out anything. He was so anxious that his eyes rolled around: "Brother Xiaoyuan, bah, Xiang, if you have something to say, just say it nicely, don't come over, and take back what you said before. I'll just be your good younger brother. From now on, you're the eldest brother and I'm the second."

"Brother, why do you say that? I came to you today to become your sworn brother."

Xiang Yuan walked forward with a smile and grabbed Xiao He's arm: "Remember, when we first met, you insisted on becoming sworn brothers. I didn't agree at the time, but now I've thought it through."

When Xiang Yuan saw Xiao Lingyue, he figured it out.

Xiao He was horrified and tore off his sleeves with a hissing sound. He turned over and squatted on the window, warning Xiang Yuan not to say anything nonsense, otherwise he would jump out of the window.

It's only the first floor, and you're making it seem like you could fall to death. Who are you trying to scare? If you have the guts, go to the roof!

"To be honest, Brother Xiao, I have brought the chicken and yellow paper. The servants are slaughtering them. We will have roast chicken to eat after we finish our worship."

"Brother, Brother Xiang, please don't do this, I... I'm scared!"

Xiao He shed two hot tears and cried loudly: "Although I can't figure out anything, I feel something in my heart. If I become sworn brothers with you today, I will definitely lose something precious. I dare not do it!"

Things have changed, and now it was Xiang Yuan's turn to pester Xiao He to become sworn brothers, but Xiao He refused.

"What I said is true, brother. I didn't lose anything this time, nor did I get into trouble outside. I simply thought it through." Xiang Yuan expressed his true feelings.

"you put……"

Xiao He swallowed his fart and said cautiously: "Speak clearly, what have you figured out?"

Your sister, what else could it be?

Xiang Yuan's face straightened: "I tossed and turned in bed last night, and I just couldn't fall asleep..."

"I'll take you to a brothel and treat you. I'll call ten girls for you." Xiao He interrupted hurriedly.

"Brother, you misunderstood. I am definitely not a lustful person."

"Not necessarily!" Xiao He laughed out loud. There was no outsider here, so who was he performing for?

"Brother, what you said is meaningless. I, my dear brother, sincerely want to become your sworn brother. I just want to repay you for your trip to Southern Xinjiang. You protected me from the witch's hands."

Xiang Yuan said with a serious face, "If you hadn't delayed me and pointed out the way to my survival, I would have been destroyed in Southern Xinjiang and died at the hands of the Yellow Springs Demon Girl. We are sworn brothers today, firstly to repay you, and secondly to prove the fate between you and me."

Master is so kind. If I had said one more word at that time, I would not have met Xiao He because I didn’t bring an umbrella, and our destined person would have become the Moon Returning to the River.

Yue Huanjiang is good, but he doesn’t have a sister!

From this perspective, Xiao He is truly a man of great value and a well-deserved destined one.

This time, Xiang Yuan didn't mind the old Taoist priest who only told half the story and pretended to be a riddle teller.

"But……"

Are you sure you are repaying a favor and not seeking revenge? Why do I feel like you have bad intentions?

Xiao He blinked, shocked and frightened, and said with a sad face: "Brother Xiaoyuan, you worry too much. Although I saved you, it was also for the sake of fate and to protect my destined person. My motives were not pure, and I don't deserve your forgiveness. Brother, don't forget that I have plotted against you before!"

"You're talking too much nonsense. Let me ask you, do you still want the destined person?"

"If you want, but... I'm scared."

Xiao He raised his hand to wipe away his tears, and said in a bleak voice: "Brother, you were arrogant at first but respectful later. It's frightening to think about it. I know you are narrow-minded and you are not someone who will bow down easily. You must have some ulterior motive for such a big change. I will wait until I figure out what you are up to, and then we can become sworn brothers."

"How nice of you to judge a gentleman by your own standards. I'll leave now and go to Baiyun Villa." Xiang Yuan turned and left.

"and many more!"

Xiao He jumped down from the window and blocked Xiang Yuan's way. His face turned pale and blue. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "I was just joking. I have thought it through. From now on, I will recognize you as my brother. If anything happens, you will take the lead. It has nothing to do with me."

Xiang Yuan's eyes widened: "Brother, you don't trust me?"

Xiao He followed with wide eyes: "You are joking, you are the eldest brother."

Okay, you have bigger eyes, I’ll listen to you.

Xiang Yuan was not picky. He didn't want Xiao He anyway, so it didn't matter who was the eldest brother: "In this case, Xiang will be humble and accept you as his brother."

"hold on."

"what happened again?"

"You are so easy to talk to today, not humble at all, I am even more afraid..."

"Will you bow?"

"Bye...."

Xiao He couldn't figure it out, but it would be great if he could improve his relationship with his destined person. But then again, what precious things could he have? He was all alone and this was his life.

Is he a person who is afraid of death?
Obviously not.

In this case, there should be nothing to be afraid of.

should.

On that day, the two men cut off a chicken's head and burned yellow paper in the yard to become sworn brothers. They talked about their own things. Xiang Yuan called Xiao He "brother Xiao" and Xiao He called Xiang Yuan "brother Xiaoyuan". Both refused to call him "good brother" even if they died.

After the worship, the roast chicken was served.

Xiao He had a sad face and had no appetite. The whole roast chicken went into Xiang Yuan's stomach. Not only that, he also ate three bowls of rice from the Xiao Mansion.

Xiang Yuan was in a good mood today, so he decided to go to the academy to study, to show some good looks to Wang Wenxu, and to buy some more goods.

Xiao He was at a loss and kept calculating. He had no intention of skipping classes, so he got on the carriage and went straight to the academy.

He was in a daze in class and had no appetite at lunchtime. He dragged Xu Jixian to a corner and told him about the strange experience that had happened today.

"Brother Xu, what do you think?"

"Brother Xiaoyuan is possessed!"

Xu Jixian said confidently: "I suspect he was tricked by the witch and bewitched by her beauty, which is why his attitude changed drastically and he insisted on becoming sworn brothers with you."

As expected of him, he guessed everything right.

"It shouldn't be. Brother Xiaoyuan is a pervert like you, hypocritical, narrow-minded, and pretentious..."

Xiao He counted on his fingers and concluded, "But his abilities are average now. If he really met a witch, he would have died long ago."

"It's hard to say. Maybe his master is related to Huangquan Dao, and the demon girl and he are the same person."

"That's impossible. I can still figure this out, brother." Xiao He shook his head repeatedly, brainstormed, and asked Xu Ji to think of other possibilities.

"Let me think about it. Brother Xiaoyuan is a narrow-minded person. You have offended him before, and he will not forgive you easily. His sudden change of attitude must be for other purposes."

Xu Jixian looked at Xiao He and said, "Think about it, what do you have that you treasure, but Xiaoyuan doesn't have and wants it very much."

“This is really not…”

Xiao He was about to deny it, but he suddenly thought of Xiao Lingyue whom he hadn't seen for a long time. He frowned and said, "I have a younger sister, my biological sister. If there is anything I cherish, it can only be her."

"What, you have a sister?"

Xu Jixian was furious: "Brother, why haven't I heard you say that? Why are you on guard against me?"

Why should I tell you, you stinky toad. You and the guy with the surname Xiang are not good people. You want to see Xiao’s sister? Bah, why don’t you take a piss and look at yourself and see what you look like!
Xiao He said calmly: "She went to Wushuang Palace to learn skills. I haven't seen her for a long time. It doesn't matter whether she talks or not."

Xu Jixian was not satisfied with this answer and responded with disgust: "That's it, Brother Xiaoyuan covets your sister, and sworn brotherhood is just the first step. He wants to be your brother-in-law."

"It's so funny. My sister is far away. How can Brother Xiaoyuan see her?"

Xiao He was amused when he heard this: "Even if we meet, my sister has such a bad personality. Not to mention that Xiao Yuan and I are just acquaintances, even I won't see her in a good mood."

This is not right, think again.

"He has ambitions and wants to get close to King Zhao through you?"

"It's not as reliable as the last one, let's keep thinking."

"I can't think of this. Now that things have come to this, let's eat first."

"No, I'm in such a hurry..."

"None of my business."
