Chapter 1768: Elder Brother, Take Care

Watching Xu Jie pull out several albums of courtesan paintings from his bosom, Zhao Zhengping and the three others all wore bewildered expressions—where did this guy get these?

Moreover, how come these guys from the land of exile all treat these courtesan painting albums as precious treasures?

At this moment, the youthful elder brother, looking at the several albums of courtesan paintings in his hands, had his eyes light up.

Moreover, he and Xu Jie kept calling each other brothers.

"Brother, we truly regret meeting late; I acknowledge you as my brother."

"I feel the same toward the elder brother; although today is our first meeting, I, Xu San, feel a blood‑deep kinship with the elder brother."

"Blood‑deep kinship—well said, brother; we brothers are indeed blood‑deep kin."

"Exactly, the elder brother and I are brothers despite having different fathers and mothers."

Huh???

Watching the two act oddly sentimental, Zhao Zhengping and the three others went numb—listen to what this guy Xu San is saying.

What bullshit about being half‑brothers.

Then, after exchanging pleasantries, Xu Jie also turned his head to Zhao Zhengping and the three others and said.

"By the way, elder brother, these people are all my brothers."

"Oh, since they are your brothers, they are also my brothers."

Huh???

Under Xu Jie's recommendation, the youthful elder brother stepped forward and gave Zhao Zhengping and the three others a warm hug.

Zhao Zhengping and the three others looked doubtful—are we brothers now?

However, thanks to Xu Jie, Zhao Zhengping and the three others also received an enthusiastic welcome; the group was warmly invited by the youthful elder brother into the tree hollow, and after some small talk, Xu Jie finally explained their purpose.

Upon hearing that Xu Jie's group aimed for the Immortal Ascension Path, the youthful elder brother's expression changed, and he spoke solemnly.

"Brother, the Immortal Ascension Path is extremely perilous; elder brother advises you not to even consider it—better to be careful."

"That's practically a dead end."

The youthful elder brother is indeed sincere, but when you speak, just speak—don't let your eyes wander all over the place.

While speaking, the youthful elder brother couldn't help but glance at the courtesan painting albums beside him.

Zhao Zhengping and the three others couldn't help but twitch their mouths; what should have been a deeply moving scene was ruined by your wandering gaze, destroying the atmosphere.

However, Xu Jie didn't care at all and grabbed the youthful elder brother's hand.

Seeing that, the youthful elder brother also returned the grip, clasping Xu Jie's hand.

For a moment, the two clasped hands tightly, their eyes full of "sincerity".

"Elder brother worries, I understand, but I have reasons I must go; I hope elder brother can grant me this."

"Brother, since you say so, then even if I had to sacrifice my life, I would accompany you onto the Immortal Ascension Path."

"No, elder brother, how could I let you risk your life for me? You only need to see us to the entrance of the Immortal Ascension Path."

"If that's the case, elder brother has no reason to refuse."

Huh???

Hearing their conversation, Zhao Zhengping and the three others' faces darkened; if they hadn't restrained themselves, they would have interrupted long ago.

Can't you be a bit less fake? You keep calling each other "brother" this and "brother" that, but in reality there's not a shred of feeling.

Also, Xu San, why are you wiping tears? Your eyes are dry—do you even have a tear?

And the youthful elder brother, while speaking, never took his eyes off those courtesan painting albums—absolutely ridiculous.

Anyway, Zhao Zhengping and the three others felt disgusted; these two's acting is truly sickening, sickening, ugh, so sickening.

If this weren't someone else's place in the land of exile, Zhao Zhengping would have already unleashed a torrent of curses.

Just as the four were suppressing their disgust, Xu Jie and the youthful elder brother finally finished their performance.

Under Xu Jie's "strong" demand, the youthful elder brother finally nodded with a "reluctant, unwilling" expression and immediately sent several people toward the Immortal Ascension Path.

"Brother, the Immortal Ascension Path is dangerous; you must be careful—if things become impossible, return, for elder brother will always wait for you."

"Elder brother, you too must take care."

"Rest assured, elder brother will look after himself; it's you, younger brother, who must be careful."

"Elder brother, I'm reluctant to part with you."

"Elder brother is also reluctant to part with you."

"Elder brother, take care; I'm leaving."

"Younger brother............ elder brother is reluctant to let you go."

Huh???

Seeing Xu Jie and the youthful elder brother in a reluctant, lingering pose, Zhao Zhengping and the three others simply couldn't be bothered to look.

You keep saying you're reluctant to part, so why don't you come up here?

At this moment, Xu Jie and Zhao Zhengping's group were seated on the monster's back, while the youthful elder brother stood below.

The one in charge of steering the monster is another Heavenly Pride from the land of exile—is this what you call deep brotherly affection?

You keep mouthing reluctance, yet you don't personally see them off—you just send a lackey; what's the meaning of that?

Just like that, you still have the nerve to say you're reluctant? Is that what you call reluctance?

Can you two brothers act any less falsely?

Watching them go back and forth, talking endlessly, if you have nothing to say then don't force it—Zhao Zhengping couldn't hold back and directly addressed the Heavenly Pride from the land of exile riding the monster's back.

"Fellow Daoist, it's about time we set off."

"But the elder brother and his brothers haven't finished speaking—look, they're still reluctant to part with each other."

Upon hearing that, the land‑of‑exile Heavenly Pride, eyes red, spoke as if deeply moved by the two's brotherly affection.

Seeing him like that, Zhao Zhengping felt his scalp tingle, everyone froze, staring blankly at that Heavenly Pride.

That look seemed to be speaking.

"Brother, are you fucking serious?"

How the fuck do you see any brotherly feeling between these two? Your fucking mouth never speaks a word of truth.

Xu San—no need to talk about him; his heart is probably all black, dead he'd be the sort of scum even the eighteenth level of hell wouldn't dare to take.

As for that young big brother, Zhao Zhengping could only say, he really fucked up meeting him— in this place of exile you can actually meet a top-notch who could exchange two moves with Xu Jie; Zhao Zhengping really hadn't expected that.

But Zhao Zhengping couldn't say these now, after all, that Heavenly Pride before him seemed truly moved.

He could only speak with a twitching mouth.

"Fellow Daoist, I know those two brothers share deep feelings, but as the saying goes, being brothers at heart is enough."

This is already Zhao Zhengping suppressing his temper; these are the mildest words he can say right now.

Under Zhao Zhengping's persuasion, that Heavenly Pride finally had moist eyes, and guided that beast to slowly fly up into the air.

He couldn't help but sigh.

"Alas, why does this world have so many sorrowful farewells? We are clearly brothers—why must we part?"

That question was obviously aimed at Zhao Zhengping; hearing it, Zhao Zhengping darkened his face, gritted his teeth, and replied.

"I don't know."

How the fuck do you see any brotherly feeling between those two?
