Chapter 544: Brothers

Looking at the furious Su Luoxing, Yu Li's expression turned extremely grim, and without a word she turned and walked out.

Meanwhile, Yang Xian and the others beside him also stared at Su Luoxing with strange expressions.

Thinking, you've always dreamed of killing Qi Xiong, so how..............

For a moment, as his senior brothers, they couldn't figure out what Su Luoxing was thinking.

Actually, not to mention them, Su Luoxing himself had no answer in his heart, only feeling utterly confused.

Feeling irritated, he waved his hand and said.

"All right, go prepare."

As the crowd withdrew, Su Luoxing sat alone in the hall, his gaze somewhat unfocused, and memories from his youth unconsciously surged forth.

"Qi Xiong, you damn framed me, it was clearly you who took me to................."

"Shhh, better one dies than both die, rest assured, I'll find a way to save your life."

And there was himself, young and chased by countless demon beasts, frightened until his face turned pale.

When the beast herd forced him into a desperate situation, the person Su Luoxing thought of was still Qi Xiong.

"Qi Xiong, where the hell are you?"

"Luoxing, don't panic, your father has come to save you."

In the midst of despairing roars, Qi Xiong descended from the heavens; the two joined forces, fighting their way out of the beast herd's encirclement. Though both were covered in wounds, their hearts filled with the joy of surviving a calamity.

"Hahaha, how about that? In critical moments, you still have to rely on your father, me."

"Damn it, if it weren't for you, I couldn't do this! By the way, what's gotten into these demon beasts?"

"I don't know, I just stole an egg, planning to raise it as a spirit pet for fun."

"Huh? You damn well attracted these demon beasts?"

"Was it me?"

"You damn well took that egg, it's the demon king's egg."

"Oh oh, I was wondering."

"You.............."

Moreover, when the two first gained fame in their youth, at the height of their vigor, they went together to Gōulán to listen to music.

Drunk to the point of stupor, with beautiful courtesans around, the exhilarated Su Luoxing put an arm around Qi Xiong's shoulders and, with bleary eyes, said.

"I'll tell you, Qi Xiong, in my life I've said it over and over, it seems you're truly my only friend."

"Then why do you still want to kill me every day?"

"I am definitely going to kill you, but you have to promise me something."

"What?"

"From now on, if you must die, you can only die by my hand."

"All right, from now on, even if I, Qi Xiong, die, I will die only by your hand, Su Luoxing."

"That's what you said."

"I said it, a gentleman's word is hard to chase after even with four horses."

Moreover, when competing for the position of Luo Xia Sect Sect Master, facing Master Huoyan.

"Luoxing, do you really have to contend for the Sect Master position?"

"Indeed."

Su Luoxing stubbornly replied, yet in his heart he thought, Qi Xiong that scoundrel has become Sect Master of the Dao Yi Sect; how could I be weaker than him? This Luo Xia Sect Sect Master position, I, Su Luoxing, have secured it.

"But you can't beat your senior sister."

"You'll know only after you try."

"Ah.............."

Su Luoxing naturally knew he was no match for his senior sister, yet he insisted on contending; since Qi Xiong had become Sect Master, he, Su Luoxing, also wanted to become Sect Master.

He gathered all his strength, but the reality was that he was utterly no match for his own senior sister, not even having the slightest ability to resist.

In terms of strength, he was inferior to his senior sister; in terms of sect connections, he also fell short of his senior sister.

He had thought it would be a crushing defeat, and for that Su Luoxing even got drunk alone, but who would have expected that at the last moment, his senior sister actually gave up on her own and left Dongzhou, heading alone for Zhongzhou.

Only in the end did Su Luoxing learn that it was Qi Xiong who had gone to find his senior sister.

On the day he was dead drunk, Qi Xiong specially rushed to the Luo Xia Sect; as soon as he entered the cave dwelling, he saw Su Luoxing drunk to the point of unconsciousness.

"Idiot, I heard you're going to lose; your father I specially came to back you up, tomorrow I'll surely turn the tide."

Before the person even arrived, the voice had already sounded; but upon entering, they discovered Su Luoxing was already drunk, muttering incoherently.

"Scoundrel, I won't lose to you; if you become Sect Master, I too will sit in that Sect Master position................"

Listening to Su Luoxing's muttering, Qi Xiong silently sat beside him for a while, drank an entire pot of wine himself, then rose and left, seeking out Su Luoxing's senior sister.

Their feelings were already deeply entangled; upon seeing Qi Xiong arrive, Su Luoxing's senior sister spoke with a complex expression.

"You came for my junior brother?"

"Not bad."

"You want to persuade me to give up?"

"Not persuasion; that idiot wants to be Sect Master, so that Sect Master position belongs to him."

"What if I don't agree?"

"Then it's settled by a single battle; if I win, you withdraw."

Watching Qi Xiong actually ready to fight Su Luoxing on her behalf, the senior sister silently nodded.

Thus, after that night, the senior sister relinquished the Sect Master position and then went alone to Zhongzhou, while Su Luoxing, as wished, took the Sect Master seat.

At the Sect Master inauguration ceremony, beholding the magnificent Su Luoxing, Qi Xiong said with a beaming face.

Idiot, hurry up and come kneel in respect to your father,

Hmph, peasant, we're both Sect Masters now; I'm not weaker than you.

Hehe, yes yes, then Sect Master Su Luoxing ought to show something, right?

What do you want?

Listen to music in Gōulán?

Then it was revealed that the new Sect Master of the Luo Xia Sect had spent his first night after taking office in Gōulán; for this Su Luoxing felt ashamed for a long time and scolded Qi Xiong thoroughly.

Peasant, you're screwing me again.

How can this be considered a screw-over? We ought to be happy and celebrate.

Damn it, I'm the Sect Master; how can I linger in Gōulán, and how can I face people now?

What's there to fear? I'm also a Sect Master; what's the big deal?

Get lost, I'm not like you.

Hehe, then you pay for this time, consider it repaying my favor.

Peasant, you're bullying too much; I'll fight you to the death.

Haha, I'll go ahead first; remember to settle the bill.

Now, thinking back carefully, it seems my whole life has been spent in Qi Xiong's company.

Unconsciously, Su Luoxing's mouth curled into a faint smile, and then his gaze drifted toward the direction of the main hall of Dao Yi Sect's Place: Zhu Feng, where he murmured softly.

Old peasant, in the end it's not like I have to come save you; with just yourself you think you can oppose the entire Western Prefecture Fomen? You're really asking for death.

Saying this, Su Luoxing came to the Dongzhou map, his gaze quickly locking onto one point—that being the Dongzhou Dukou.

This place is absolutely the fiercest battlefield; no matter what plans the Western Prefecture Fomen has, they will definitely not give up the Dongzhou Dukou, and Qi Xiong could not possibly abandon the Dongzhou Dukou either.

Looking at the small Dongzhou Dukou on the map, Su Luoxing's gaze became ever more resolute.

At the same time, inside Qi Xiong's Dong Fu, he too was looking at the map, his gaze likewise locked onto the Dongzhou Dukou.

Beside him, Wu Shou looked at Qi Xiong's gaze and spoke helplessly.

Senior Brother, haven't you decided yet?

The Dongzhou Dukou needs at least a hundred thousand disciples to have any fighting strength, but................

Qi Xiong showed a helpless expression; he hadn't finished speaking, but the meaning was already clear: a hundred thousand disciples—that's almost the strength of ten peaks. Mobilizing that many disciples to the Dongzhou Dukou, what about the other places?

But for such an important place, entrusting it to others—even if it's Putuo Temple, Guigu, Qi Xiong still wouldn't feel at ease.
