Simultaneous travel: City, infinite evolution

Chapter 344 Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei's Sworn Brotherhood [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

"Let go."

"No."

Seeing the two men pulling a long knife and sawing it, Xiu and the others squatted down to discuss the matter.

"Da Dong, the butterfly effect of your ten-yuan coin is too powerful. It managed to create a big rock that hit someone."

Chen Hong complained about the rushed plot development.

Xiu said with deep concern, "What's frightening is that we've disrupted the order of spacetime."

Wang Dadong's scalp tingled. "Then... what should we do?"

"Let's get a little closer and see the situation more clearly before we talk," Xiu suggested.

So the group quietly approached the temple and overheard Guan Yu talking to Zhang Fei:
"Third brother, death is not terrible; what is most terrible is breaking your promise."

"Second Brother, I think being unfaithful is more terrifying, isn't it?" Zhang Fei complained. "The most terrifying thing is forgetting to bring toilet paper when you go to the bathroom."

Guan Yu remained serious: "Are you trying to change the subject? That trick won't work on me."

"You're really something, you figured it out, haha." Zhang Fei laughed awkwardly.

Guan Yu tried to take back the crescent blade, but Zhang Fei stopped him in time.

The two struggled, but their strength was about the same, and neither could wrest the crescent blade away.

Zhang Fei pleaded, "Second brother, don't be impulsive. The oath is for others to see. Only Heaven, Earth, you, and I know about this."

There won't be a fifth person in the world who knows, right?

Zhang Fei turned his head and saw Chen Hong and six others gathered at the door, which startled him.

Guan Yu followed Zhang Fei's gaze and, upon seeing five burly men and a beautiful woman watching, his eyes widened in shame and indignation.

"Look, now that others know, please let me keep my promise."

After saying this, Guan Yu was about to take his sword and kill himself.

Zhang Fei had no choice but to pull him back in time. Suddenly, he caught sight of Liu Bei under the rock and a brilliant idea struck him.

"Look, my brother isn't dead."

"what??"

Guan Yu quickly bent down to check.

As a result, Zhang Fei delivered a powerful chop to Guan Yu's neck.

Guan Yu's eyes rolled back immediately, and he fainted.

"Second brother, I'm sorry, please calm down."

"These people are acting suspiciously; they must not be good people."

Zhang Fei turned to look at Chen Hong and the others, adopting a defensive stance.

He recalled how he and his second brother, when they joined forces, were invincible.

The next second, she remembered that she had knocked her second brother unconscious.

Zhang Fei was immediately stunned.

I'm taking on five opponents by myself, and they don't look like easy targets either. How can I possibly win?
So Zhang Fei shook Guan Yu again, trying to wake him up.

This unexpected turn of events left Wang Dadong and the others completely bewildered.

Chen Hong was fully aware of everything and spoke up promptly.

"The man trapped under the rock is not dead yet, so you don't need to worry."

"What? Big Brother isn't dead?"

Zhang Fei was overjoyed and checked Liu Bei's breathing; sure enough, he was still breathing.

It's just that because it's pressed down by a stone, it doesn't appear to be moving; you can't tell unless you look closely.

"Big brother, you're not dead?"

Liu Bei: ###
“You’re the one who’s dead,” Liu Bei said with difficulty.

"That's great, my eldest brother is not dead, so my second brother doesn't have to commit suicide."

Liu Bei: ###
You really are my good third brother, thank you and your whole family.

Zhang Fei gathered his energy, exhaled loudly, and threw a punch, sending the large stone ball flying.

Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief, but then, due to his severe injuries, he gasped for breath and fainted again.

"May I ask your name, sir?" Chen Hong asked.

Zhang Fei politely returned the greeting with clasped hands, saying, "I wouldn't dare. My name is Zhang Fei."

This is my elder brother, Liu Bei.

This is my second elder brother, Guan Yu.

"I see. I see that this Liu Shou is seriously injured. Why don't we take him back to the Gold Dimension for treatment and recuperation?"

Moreover, this Liu Bei looks exactly like my friend named 'Huyan Jue Luo Xiu'.

That's fine. Let Xiu stay and replace Liu Bei for a while to maintain the order of time and space.

Your second brother, Guan Yu, wouldn't have tried to kill himself if he saw that your eldest brother was still alive.

What do you think, is this a good idea?

Zhang Fei examined the repair carefully and found it to be exactly the same, which immediately filled him with joy.

"Yeah."

"Oh no!" Xiu interrupted. "Chen Hong, what kind of lousy idea is this? You want me to impersonate Liu Bei, but I know absolutely nothing about Liu Bei. What if I get caught?"
Besides, I absolutely don't want to live as someone else.

"Hey Xiu, haven't you always said that the order of spacetime is very important?"

"Now is the time for you to maintain order in spacetime."

For once, Wang Dadong was clever enough to use the enemy's spear against the enemy's shield.

"Besides, I'm happy to help others, so I'll help if I can."

Chen Hong also spoke up, "Xiu, you don't want Guan Yu to commit suicide and cause chaos in the spacetime order, do you?"

"Chen Hong, you..."

The honest man was speechless.

"Alright, this is an era of democracy."

I think everyone should vote.

Raise your hand if you agree that Xiu should stay and replace Liu Bei.

After King Arthur finished speaking, he was the first to raise his hand.

Wang Dadong, Ding Xiaoyu, Chen Hong, and Zhang Fei all raised their hands.

Even Tian Xin, who loves watching the drama unfold, raised her hand.

"You, you all..." Xiu looked helplessly at the unanimously approved decision.

At this moment, Guan Yu coughed, and he was about to wake up.

"Oh no, quickly change Xiu's clothes, quick!"

Five burly men—Chen Hong, Wang Dadong, Ding Xiaoyu, Wang Yase, and Zhang Fei—joined the fray.

They stripped Xiu and Liu Bei of their clothes and then swapped them.

At the critical moment, the two were successfully switched.

Then they made their escape at lightning speed.

When Guan Yu opened his eyes, he slowly woke up.

The one lying on the ground was Huyan Jue Luo Xiu.

"Ouch!" Guan Yu clutched the back of his neck, stood up, and asked Zhang Fei, "Did you just ambush me?"

"No," Zhang Fei said, waving his hand while looking guiltily at his elder brother Liu Bei being dragged away through the doorway.

"What are you looking at?" Guan Yu followed Zhang Fei's gaze.

The entrance was completely bare; there was nothing there.

"Hey, look, Big Brother is awake."

Zhang Fei successfully diverted Guan Yu's attention.

"Brother!" Guan Yu hurriedly bent down and picked up Liu Bei from the ground.

"I...I'm fine," Xiu said, putting on an act with a helpless expression.

Guan Yu's gaze suddenly fell upon his elder brother Liu Bei's half-undone pants and exposed underwear.

He was immediately filled with questions: "Why isn't Big Brother wearing pants?"

Xiu was incredibly embarrassed. It was all Chen Hong's fault for rushing to change his clothes and leaving before he even had his pants on properly.

“Uh…” Zhang Fei had another quick idea, “I was afraid that my brother needed to pee, so I took his pants off halfway.”

Xiu awkwardly pulled up his pants and almost died of embarrassment.

Guan Yu didn't dwell on these trivial matters; instead, he was quite happy, feeling as if he had survived a calamity.

"Big brother, thank goodness, you're not dead."

Xiu responded awkwardly, "Ah...yes."

"Brother's skill is so profound, that's why he recovered so quickly," Zhang Fei quickly added.

"Yes, it just still hurts a little." Xiu quickly chimed in.

"By the way, could we swear the oath again?" Zhang Fei changed the subject once more.

"Why?" Guan Yu asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Hmm, I want to remove the phrase 'dying on the same day, in the same month, in the same year'."

"No!" Guan Yu firmly objected.

"It's okay to remove it," Xiu quickly chimed in.

"No!" Guan Yu stubbornly and firmly opposed it.

"Brother, why do I feel like you've become a different person?"

Guan Yu approached step by step, startling Xiu so much that he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Uh... haha, people always change, especially big brother."

"My elder brother has just suffered a misfortune, it's understandable, it's understandable." Zhang Fei racked his brains to find a way to smooth things over.

Fortunately, Guan Yu didn't investigate further and happily patted Xiu on the shoulder.

"Alright, now that our elder brother is awake, let's finish reciting the rest of the oath."

The three men faced the temple once more, knelt down, and swore brotherhood.

"From this day forward, the three of us will be of one mind, with heaven and earth as our witness..."

It happened right when the three of them swore brotherhood.

Chen Hong said to Wang Dadong and the other two, "I'll leave this Liu Bei to you three to escort back to the Gold Dimension for treatment."

"Liu Shou is seriously injured and his power is damaged. You can contribute some of your power to make up 8,000 combat power index so that he can pass through the time-space gate."

"And so, Liu Bei is now in your hands."

"And what about you?" Wang Arthur asked doubtfully. "Aren't you coming back to the Gold Dimension with us?"

"I'm also going to have my honeymoon with Tian Xin in the Silver Dimension," Chen Hong grinned.

Wang Dadong and the others rolled their eyes. "Alright, alright, we won't disturb your honeymoon, you newlyweds."

They're gone, they're gone.

Wang Dadong and his two companions carried Liu Bei on their backs, preparing to head to the location of the Time Gate.

Chen Hong and Tian Xin then arrived at the temple and met Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Xiu.

Just then, the three of them finished their sworn brotherhood oath and were stunned when they saw Chen Hong and the other man.

As soon as Xiu saw Chen Hong, he quickly sent a telepathic message:

"Chen Hong, what are you doing? Why did you turn back?"

Chen Hong also replied telepathically, "Of course we're here for tourism! We came to the Silver Dimension for tourism, how can we give up halfway?"

Xiu anxiously transmitted his voice: "Chen Hong, don't do anything reckless, it's easy to disrupt the order of spacetime."

Xiu felt a headache coming on when he thought about Chen Hong's ability to accomplish big things.

"Sir, and miss, may I ask what brings you here?"

Guan Yu clasped his hands in a fist salute, looking puzzled and a little wary as he asked.

"Oh, it's nothing, it's nothing." Chen Hong waved his hand dismissively. "My wife and I just came to the mountains for a visit. We came up the steps, saw this temple, and came in to take a look."

Please forgive me if I have disturbed you three.

Guan Yu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. "I see. No problem, no problem. This is a public place for recreation, so everyone is welcome to come."

"Our three brothers are on their way to Dong Han Academy to enroll, so we cannot accompany you. We must take our leave now."

Seeing Guan Yu clasp his hands in a fist salute, Chen Hong immediately raised his hand to press it down, and said with a smile:

"Haha, isn't this a coincidence?"

"My husband and I are just about to take up our teaching positions at Donghan Academy, why don't we go together?"

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Xiu were all stunned.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei immediately bowed respectfully to Chen Hong, like mice before a cat.

"So you're a teacher from Dong Han Academy. I've been rude, so rude."
