After a stick of incense.
At the edge of Half Cliff, two shivering girls, trembling, kneeled and kowtowed:
"Nianxin and Nian’an pay respects to Big Brother!!"
"From now on, we sisters will only follow Big Brother’s lead!
"If Big Brother says go east, we won’t go west; if Big Brother says shoot birds, we won’t chase chickens!"
Gentle scratched her cheek silently.
Who would believe that just a stick of incense ago, these two girls were gearing up, ready to show Chu Qing a thing or two.
The bet Chu Qing made with them was right up their alley.
Whoever lost would kowtow and acknowledge the other as Big Brother.
In this short ti of a stick of incense, the result was already out.
Chu Qing looked at the two, with an expression a bit strange...
Being able to chase after the Twelve Saint Kings, Chu Qing gave them enough attention.
He thought it would be an extrely difficult battle, yet unexpectedly, when the real fight began, it wasn’t so challenging.
Although Nianxin Nian’an’s martial arts were high, they weren’t high enough to defeat Chu Qing.
Nianxin’s Seven Treasures Glazed Body Scripture was invulnerable, making it quite troubleso as a weapon.
But all invulnerability has a limit.
Under that limit, no thod can harm.
But once that limit is broken, it becos a joke.
Chu Qing’s seven consecutive palms shook her Seven Treasures Glazed Body Scripture on the verge of collapse, and the sisters decisively surrendered.
And quite forthrightly, they directly kneeled and kowtowed to acknowledge him as Big Brother.
The movent was so swift that Chu Qing almost didn’t react in ti.
Chu Qing gently rubbed his temples, looking at the two girls kneeling on the ground, looking genuinely at him.
He pondered for a mont before speaking:
"Since you want to acknowledge as Big Brother... we need to have a chat first."
"Big Brother, please speak!"
Nianxin raised her head, clasped her fists, and thickened her voice, as if to enhance her presence as a Forest Hero.
Chu Qing’s mouth twitched; although from the very beginning, he knew these sisters weren’t up to any good...
It seems now... even crazier than he’d imagined.
He took a deep breath:
"Which sect or school are you from?"
"We sisters are from Bodhi Temple!"
"Where is Bodhi Temple located?"
"On Bodhi Mountain!"
"Where is Bodhi Mountain?"
"At Bodhi..."
Upon saying this, they paused, exchanged glances, and shook their heads in unison:
"I don’t know."
"?"
Chu Qing squinted at them:
"Don’t know?"
"Yes!"
Nianxin replied earnestly:
"When we were seven, while doing hard labor in the village, our benefactor brought us back to Bodhi Mountain.
"The benefactor said, learn martial arts on the mountain, and in the future, do whatever we want when we co down.
"We were too young to rember the way, just felt that after a few naps, we reached the mountain.
"Later, after ten years of martial arts on the mountain, one day, the benefactor suddenly told us it was ti to descend.
"Then she ambushed us, knocked us out, and when we woke up, we were already down the mountain."
"..."
Chu Qing frowned, how co Bodhi Temple sounds unreliable?
Going up the mountain all mysterious, and coming down all sneaky?
He thought for a mont and said:
"So, after you went up the mountain, you never ca down? Is this the first ti?"
"Yes!"
The sisters nodded at the sa ti, Nian’an told Chu Qing:
"These years, we’ve been on the mountain training martial arts, Master wouldn’t let us descend.
"Although we’ve always harbored great ambitions to unite the world’s Green Forest! But... the benefactor didn’t allow it, so we could only be filial on the mountain..."
Chu Qing waved his hand, not wanting the grand plan of ’uniting the world’s Green Forest’ to disturb his thoughts.
He went directly to the point:
"What’s your relationship with the Celestial Evil Cult?"
Nianxin and Nian’an exchanged glances and spoke in unison:
"Adversarial!
"Master said, to unite the world’s Green Forest, the Celestial Evil Cult must be eradicated."
Chu Qing squinted at them.
But from the clear and foolish eyes of these two girls, there was no sign of deceit.
So, for whatever reason, these two were chosen by the people of Bodhi Temple, taken up the mountain to practice martial arts, and sent down after mastering it... left to fend for themselves?
The only instruction was that to accomplish their ’great undertaking,’ they must eliminate the Celestial Evil Cult.
They were simply misguided by their master.
How could any normal person believe such a thing?
Yet these two sisters, just so happened to be abnormal...
"Big Brother, what’s wrong? Is there a problem with what Master said?"
Nianxin looked at Chu Qing, who was staring at them, and was a bit bewildered.
"Nothing!"
Chu Qing, though internally grumbling, felt their master lacked integrity.
But outwardly, he said:
"Your master wasn’t wrong. To unite the world’s Green Forest, you must first eradicate the Celestial Evil Cult.
"Otherwise, soday, they will ruin your plan."
Upon hearing this, Nian’an laughed and said:
"That’s no problem, from today onwards, our sisters pledge allegiance to Big Brother.
"Even if they want to destroy, it would be Big Brother’s plan, nothing to do with us!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Nianxin knocked her on the forehead:
"Are you stupid, what’s that supposed to an? Destroying Big Brother’s plan is the sa as destroying our plan!"
Chu Qing wondered if he should be touched by Nianxin’s ’understanding.’
Then he heard Nianxin whisper in Nian’an’s ear:
"We lost today, not his match.
"But as the saying goes, no one is good all the ti, no flower blooms for a hundred days.
"Big Brother’s martial arts are higher than ours, so we should just lay low for now... and join him in pursuing his career later.
