"What if I'm unbelievably ugly and scare you?"
Hearing Ye Lianyi ask this, Liu Zixuan didn't even think before saying directly, "Ugly is fine, but what if I coincidentally happen to go blind when I see you!"
Liu Zixuan knew in his heart that Ye Lianyi was just joking. After all, this was the Youthful Appearance Technique, not a Disguise Technique. Her real appearance would just be a bit more mature than now, and she would never beco unbelievably ugly.
So they started teasing each other.
Ye Lianyi covered her mouth and laughed, "You really can't take a complint. I just said you looked quite handso when you're serious, and now with one sentence, you've lowered my impression of you."
"If it's just a good impression, I don't even care," Liu Zixuan boasted with a grin. "If you love, love deeply. Don't just talk about good impressions; that's a term literature lovers use. We martial artists should keep it straightforward."
"Let play you a tune."
Ye Lianyi didn't continue discussing love with Liu Zixuan. Instead, she brought over her long zither, changing the topic.
Liu Zixuan grinned awkwardly, but he wasn't embarrassed because he knew Ye Lianyi had a big secret in her heart. But if she didn't want to talk about it, no one else could discover it, no matter how much they asked. So he let Ye Lianyi be.
After listening to so ditties at the dical Immortal Sect, Liu Zixuan left by himself.
He drove straight to Celestial Fate City.
...
Celestial Fate City, Hongyun Restaurant.
The way won communicate is often through shopping together, getting beauty treatnts, and so on.
But n are absolutely different with won.
For n, their heartfelt words are often in their cups of wine!
So when chatting with a group of brothers, there's naturally no shortage of that aged wine that burns the stomach but warms the heart!
Sitting with Zhao Yi, Mo Chengfeng, Gu Yu, and Huzi in a private room, the atmosphere was quite good.
They didn't have that deep understanding shared between childhood friends.
Nor had they done countless things together, familiarizing with each other.
But Liu Zixuan and each of them had almost all experienced life and death together.
So the bond between them wasn't weaker than the other two kinds. On the contrary, they cared more for each other, even willing to risk their lives for one another.
"Brother Xuan, let's all go together tomorrow." They had learned that Liu Zixuan was going to the Witch Country and were clamoring to go along.
"Yeah, those Witch Country scum have annoyed for a long ti now. Going there to kill a few more Samurai and flirt with a few Witch Country girls would totally bring glory to our country!" Huzi blurted out with a laugh.
Liu Zixuan gave Huzi a sidelong glance and said, "Your thinking isn't bad, but this trip is too dangerous, so it's better for you to stay ho peacefully."
"What's there to be afraid of, Brother Xuan? The Shadow Guard is really powerful now, beating up those Eastern Wilderness barbarians is no problem," Huzi grumbled discontentedly.
Mo Chengfeng chid in, "Neither Gu Yu nor I have combat power, but we have our strengths. He relies on Fortune Telling Skills, and I can utilize my internet prowess; doing sothing isn't hard."
Liu Zixuan scratched his head, "If it were anywhere else, I wouldn't hesitate to take you guys. But this ti we might face not only the Sakura Sect but the entire Martial Artists of the Witch Country, a slight mistake could lead to casualties. That's sothing I never want to see."
"Saying that ans you don't really see us as brothers!"
Without much to say, Zhao Yi suddenly took a sip of his drink and said to Liu Zixuan, "Brother Xuan, I rember you used to be a decisive person. We're all tough guys, whatever dangers lie ahead, everyone knows them well. We've faced life and death before."
"The reason everyone is so eager isn't that going abroad is fun, but to fight alongside you!"
Liu Zixuan froze for a mont at these words and then fell into silence.
Everything just now, he realized, was his own overthinking!
Because no matter what he did before, Liu Zixuan was all about protection, protecting everyone around him, so he mistakenly thought that everyone around him was still weak and couldn't face life-and-death dangers.
He thought he could face it alone, yet in doing so, he was defying his own principles.
To beco stronger, it can't just be him getting stronger; those around him should grow stronger too.
After thinking for a mont, Liu Zixuan stood up with his glass of wine, "I was wrong earlier, I'll drink this cup dry."
"How can we let you drink alone!" Huzi stood and filled everyone's cups; soon, everyone raised their cups, smiled at each other, and shouted in unison, "Fight side by side!"
All five raised their heads and drank in one go! An endless tale of brotherhood!
"Hey, hey, hey, you five aren't being fair, are you? Drinking without even calling ?"
At this mont, the door of the room opened, and Nicholas is the most handso rushed in, looking displeased.
Huzi cursed without any good intentions, "Who told you to find so many girls last night? If I hadn't seen you still breathing, I'd have thought you died on a woman's belly!"
Nicholas is the most handso imdiately got upset, his stance proud, "You're just jealous of my looks, why do those girls flock to and not to you? That's the difference, you blundering tiger will never catch up to !"
"Damn, I may not be as handso as you, but am I not more handso than the boss?" Huzi remained unafraid.
Nicholas is the most handso's smug smile faded a bit, he pouted, "Back at the Willow Association, we were the double handso duo, I was just a tiny bit less handso than him."
"What are you guys talking about!" Nicholas is the most handso directly changed the topic.
Everyone laughed and explained the earlier situation, only to see Nicholas is the most handso slap the table, "Damn, going to the Witch Country, you must take with you!"
"Why bring you? You can't fight, and can't win a quarrel either. You think it's a vacation!"
It seed like Huzi and Nicholas is the most handso were a pair of adversaries, at least two of every three words were bickering!
Nicholas is the most handso put on a serious face and looked at Huzi, "I might not fight as well as Liu Zixuan or argue as well as you ugly tiger, but I am handso. By relying on my male charm, I definitely can captivate many Witch Country girls!"
Huzi paused and extended a hand to Nicholas is the most handso, "For that statent, I respect you as a man!"
Nicholas is the most handso laughed heartily, took a glass and filled it with wine. He raised his cup to everyone and asked loudly, "What are we?"
"Brothers!" everyone shouted together!
"Then, how do we drink this wine?"
"Bottoms up!"
With a shout of enthusiasm, they drank the aged wine that burned their stomach and ignited their spirits in one go!
