Chapter 1705: with translation of chapter title

Third Shī xiōng, it's your turn to act, go.

Hearing Ye Zhangqing's words, Xu Jie rose to his feet with a confident look and said.

Don't worry, it's already planned, a piece of cake.

After speaking, Xu Jie strode out of the cave, while Zhao Zhengping, Liu Shuang, and Lu Youyou beside him were completely bewildered.

After all, they didn't know what had happened in the cave earlier, and for a moment they all turned their gazes to Ye Zhangqing, waiting for an explanation.

Facing the three's gazes, Ye Zhangqing briefly recounted what had happened in the cave earlier.

After hearing Ye Zhangqing's explanation, the three's faces darkened, and Zhao Zhengping couldn't help but twitch his mouth as he said.

Xu Lǎosān, you never have a day without causing trouble.

Having learned the full story, the group also curiously walked out of the cave to see how Xu Jie would handle this.

At this time, many people had already walked out of the cave, each looking up at the fierce battle between A Cheng and the other in the sky.

Especially the brothers under them, seeing their elder brother fighting fiercely there and uttering words they couldn't understand at all, each felt doubtful and hesitant.

They doubted what had happened; they hesitated, since their elder brother had already acted—should they act as well?

I'll rip your mouth off today.

It's clearly you who kissed me.

Cut the crap, am I that kind of person? You were holding me, why didn't you say so?

That was you coming over yourself.

Cut the nonsense, die.

Hearing A Cheng and the other's angry shouts, their brothers fell silent, wondering what they were saying, why they couldn't understand at all, what had happened between the elder brothers earlier, and whether they were kissing or hugging.

Not understanding what the two were saying, the Heavenly Pride of the Place of Exile for a moment didn't know whether they should intervene.

And A Cheng and the other grew angrier the more they fought; recalling the scene when they sobered up and opened their eyes, they were genuinely disgusted.

What met their eyes was the other's large face, and even more absurdly, they didn't realize when their mouths had met.

They were still tightly embraced; their first reaction was their hair standing on end, quickly followed by nausea.

Then came a sense of humiliation, and a nameless anger quickly rose.

Both felt defiled, and out of shame and anger they naturally lashed out, determined to kill the other to clear their name.

Just as the two fought ever more fiercely, both landing killing blows, suddenly a shout rang out.

Hold on.

With the sound, Xu Jie was seen soaring into the air, arriving at the edge of the battlefield.

Seeing Xu Jie suddenly appear in the sky, the Heavenly Pride of the Place of Exile all froze for a moment.

Their elder brothers are fighting, what is this guy doing up there? They're two Great Emperor Realm cultivators, you're only a Shèngjìng Realm—going up there is suicide.

The crowd didn't understand, while Wanxiang and the other senior brothers stared wide-eyed, their hearts racing.

Xu Lǎosān, what are you doing? Don't you want to live?

Under everyone's gaze, Xu Jie didn't rashly approach A Cheng and the other; seeing them pause their movements because of his words, he spoke from afar.

Gentlemen, we share the same roots—why rush to destroy each other?

What do you mean?

First, stop fighting; there was a misunderstanding earlier.

A misunderstanding? What bullshit misunderstanding—today this bastard must die.

You're the one who'll die.

You'll see if you try.

Saying that, seeing the two about to strike again, Xu Jie hurriedly spoke.

You two would be better off pausing for now, waiting to see this thing before deciding—it's not too late.

Xu Jie held a recording stone; with this, he was confident he could persuade A Cheng and the other.

Under Xu Jie's persuasion, A Cheng and the other also became curious; after drinking that strange liquor earlier, they had inexplicably lost consciousness.

Could something have happened during that period?

Figuring it out first wouldn't hurt; anyway, that bastard opposite can be killed anytime.

Thinking so, they suppressed their shame and anger, nodded, and agreed to Xu Jie.

Seeing this, Xu Jie summoned Ye Zhangqing, and the four of them returned to the cave.

Inside the cave, Xu Jie played the contents of the recording stone for A Cheng and the other.

Seeing a recording stone for the first time, but looking at its contents, A Cheng and the other were dumbfounded, their eyes wide.

Is that me on this?

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

On the recording stone's light screen, after A Cheng and the other got drunk, they first babbled nonsense, then immediately began putting their arms around each other's shoulders.

Then they spoke indistinctly, at first trading insults, then gradually they started apologizing and admitting fault.

Anyway, the conversation made no sense, but the apologies were genuine.

Then they swore brotherhood on the spot, in the presence of Xu Jie and Ye Zhangqing, kneeling to heaven and earth, loudly proclaiming something about becoming sworn brothers of different surnames, sharing weal and woe, living and dying together, and so on.

Until the recording stone's footage finished playing, A Cheng and the other remained dazed, their eyes full of disbelief.

They sat there dazed, not speaking for a long time, as if turned to stone.

And Xu Jie waited for them to come to their senses before slowly speaking.

So, you two are now brothers; how can brothers fight each other to the death?

Don't forget, you swore brotherhood under heaven and earth; a man's word is heavier than a thousand catties—you wouldn't want to go back on it, would you?

"I..............."

Upon hearing that, the two exchanged a glance, opened their mouths, but couldn't utter a word.

They both had the same thought arise in their hearts.

Have I become brothers with this dog thing?

After fighting for so many years, all we wanted was to kill each other, but damn, we've inexplicably become brothers now—why is this happening?

Ah Cheng and the other found it hard to accept at first—this shouldn't be, we shouldn't be brothers; we're mortal enemies, we're supposed to kill each other.

Seeing that the two still couldn't accept it for a moment, Xu Jie continued to fan the flames from the side.

"Anyway, the situation is what it is; you've already bowed to heaven and earth, and you've performed the brotherhood rite—if you don't acknowledge it, I can't do anything, but as upstanding seven-foot men, I trust you won't go back on your word."

"Brotherhood rite?"

"Exactly, didn't you two sleep together before? And you even kissed—this counts as the brotherhood rite in our Zhu Tian Wan Jie."

"Having shared a bed, the most important thing is that you also had the most intimate contact; in our Zhu Tian Wan Jie, after that, you become brothers who share life and death."

"Anyone who dares to betray their brother will be despised by the world, unable to lift their head for a lifetime, and can't even regret it."

Xu Jie spoke solemnly, leaving Ah Cheng and the other stunned.
