Chapter 5215: Surprise, my a.s.s!
She was no stranger to the schemes and infighting between the sons of aristocratic families. Qi Tian had been locked up in the clan since he was a child and was forbidden to go out, so it would be strange if he could make friends. Although he didn’t know how he had managed to become the seventh elder, but to have such a status at such a young age, it was naturally even more difficult to make any friends.
Thinking about how she had made so many friends who treated her with sincerity and could live and die with her even though she had been wandering all over the world all these years, Ling Chuxi was secretly glad, but at the same time, she was filled with sympathy for Qi Tian.
However, sympathy was sympathy, but Ling Chuxi was also a little hesitant. She was still a woman disguised as a man, and she had not told Qi Tian her true ident.i.ty. It was not very good to become sworn brothers like this.
Seeing that Ling Chuxi had not said anything for a long time, Qi Tian simply dragged her down.
“By the heavens above and with Houtu as my witness, I, Chu Tianqi, am Ling Chuxi’s sworn brother. In the future, we will share fortune and misfortune. I don’t ask to be born on the same day, but I ask to die on the same day, same month, and same year!” He did not care whether Ling Chuxi agreed or not and he first recited the oath.
“Huangfu above, with Houtu as a witness, I, Ling Chuxi … Beg to die on the same day, same month, and same year.” Forget it. Seeing that Qi Tian was insistent, Ling Chuxi could not be bothered to think too much about it and also read on.
This time, she did not care about dying on the same day, same month, and the same year. Although this guy’s strength was not good, his status was extraordinary. Just by looking at the strength of this sword slave, she could imagine how powerful the family behind him was. She was not worried about being tricked.
“Wait, what did you say your name was?” As she mumbled to herself, Ling Chuxi suddenly realized that something was not quite right. She raised her head abruptly and asked Qi Tian.
“Big brother, I’m sorry for the past. I’m actually the descendant of the Chu family that you’re looking for. My real name is Chu Tianqi. How’s it, are you surprised?” Qi Tian laughed heartily as he spoke to Ling Chuxi.
Surprise, my a.s.s! Ling Chuxi was dumbfounded as she looked at Qi Tian’s carefree smile.
Chu Tianqi, this guy was actually from the Chu family. In other words, he was one of her family. Alright, this time, brothers of different surnames had really become brothers of the opposite s.e.x. The worst thing was, from this guy’s status as the seventh elder, his seniority in the family was probably not low, perhaps even several generations higher than her.
At the thought of possibly becoming brothers of the opposite s.e.x with a relative of the grandfather’s generation, Ling Chuxi’s head was in a mess. If not for their blood connection, she really wanted to bring out a Gra.s.s Mud Horse to give him a beating.
“Alright, big brother, I’ll be leaving first. We’ll meet again in the future.” Chu Tianqi looked at Ling Chuxi’s face, which seemed to be filled with surprise, depression, and extreme speechlessness. He was even more proud and laughed loudly. With a flash, he had already disappeared from sight.
Hearing him call her ‘big brother’, Ling Chuxi’s hair stood on end. However, a strange expression appeared on her face. She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Ling Chuxi smiled bitterly as she looked at the corner of her eyes that were left behind by Chu Tianqi and the sword slave after they left.
From the sword slave’s words earlier, the master of the family must have been extremely angry at Chu Tianqi for running away from home. Chu Tianqi must have understood this, so he did not invite them to go home with him.
If he wanted to return to the Chu family, he had to wait for the Chu family to activate the formation. He remembered that Chu Tianqi had once said that there were two years before the Chu family would open the formation to welcome guests. He could only continue to wait.
However, Ling Chuxi knew that her cultivation level was still a little low and she did not want to be in such a sorry state. She did not want to escape back to the Chu family like a stray dog. So what if she waited?
“Where are we going now?” Wei Wuming asked.
