Chapter 415: Chapter 95: Humph [Requesting Monthly Tickets!]_1

Upon hearing this, Chu Liang was somewhat taken aback.

The Whale Guild Master, Xu Baishan, was well known in the martial world for his fondness in swearing brotherhood with others. At least, he was known to have four or five sworn brothers.

However, those who could swear brotherhood with the Whale Guild Master were all prominent figures in the Immortal Cultivation World, such as Huang Hanshan, the Thunder Fortress Master, was one of them.

Chu Liang never expected that he would encounter such a situation, suggesting that Xu Baishan was truly a lover of swearing brotherhood.

However, it seemed that he didn’t have any reason to refuse.

After all, having another big brother in the martial world would certainly make him feel more courageous when he went out.

Without much hesitation, he was about to agree.

But Xu Hongqiu voiced out from behind: "Father, how am I supposed to get along with Young Hero Chu after this? Wouldn’t he directly become a generation older than me?"

"Hey, it doesn’t matter." In the face of his daughter’s probing question, Xu Baishan simply waved his hand, "In the future, you two will decide for yourselves, you call him uncle and he calls you sister."

Fine then.

You do understand the concept of swearing brotherhood.

Having said that, Chu Liang naturally replied: "Since Guild Master Xu has offered such a grand gesture, I certainly cannot refuse."

Xu Hongqiu had no other choice but to accept the situation.

Today, their father and daughter indeed owed Chu Liang and his master a great debt. If Chu Liang had not rescued Xu Baishan from Python Belly City, if the Empress Feng had not driven the Swallowing Python here...

The outcome could have been Xu Hongqiu dying unjustly, being falsely accused of collaborating with Mars, while Xu Baishan would be trapped forever in Python Belly City.

Xu Baishan’s move, undeniably, was an excellent strategy.

Otherwise, what kind of price would the Whale Guild Master and his daughter have to pay to express their gratitude? Even though agreeing to this sworn brotherhood seemed like a step down for him, and in the future, he might need to look after Chu Liang, things might change in several decades. Who knows who would be taking care of whom?

Anyone who could become the Master of the Whale Guild with hundreds of thousands of members was, without doubt, very adept at handling interpersonal relationships.

Xu Baishan then took Chu Liang in front of all the Immortal Sects and Martial Heroes assembled, loudly saying: "Everybody, today I will swear brotherhood with Young Hero Chu from Shu Mountain. Henceforth, as long as he does nothing against justice and righteousness, his affairs will also be my own. I ask you all to bear witness!"

Everyone present was definitely surprised. While everyone knew Chu Liang had saved Xu Baishan, no one anticipated this method of repaying his favor.

However, if this person is Xu Baishan, it seems to match his usual way of dealing with people and affairs.

If this event happened alone, it would indeed be a shocking news. But in the less than an hour long series of stunning changes that happened today, it only stirred a minor ripple.

In the blink of an eye, the Whale Guild members brought in the altar, candles, rooster... and other items needed for the ceremony of brotherhood. Chu Liang was taken aback. It seemed his new big brother was a veteran in swearing brotherhood, and the people under him were familiar with the process.

After a hustle, the large group from the Regent Residence arrived quickly. They questioned everyone present one by one, asking some specific questions.

Of course, the guests from the Immortal Sects were treated slightly better, just asking them a few things before letting them go.

It wasn’t until he left Giant Whale Mansion that Chu Liang had time to talk to Jiang Yuebai.

...

As Chu Liang and Empress Feng were caught up in the most affairs, they were the last ones to finish explaining.

Especially the people in Python Belly City, Chu Liang reminded the Regent Residence’s people that since they had captured the Swallowing Python, they should check it sooner. He worried that the Demonic Clan and the Human Clan would cause chaos in the city, resulting in unnecessary casualties. However, since the Swallowing Python was in the hands of Li Chengfeng, the people trapped in the city would be rescued sooner or later, so there was no need to worry too much.

The Regent Residence took this matter very seriously and immediately sent people into the Secret Realm to investigate.

By the time Chu Liang and his master came out, it was already evening. The Shu Mountain’s Viewing Ceremony Group was waiting outside the Mansion.

"Senior Uncle Master Wang, fellow disciples." Chu Liang moved forward and lightly nodded his head in respect, then turned and addressed Jiang Yuebai, "Senior Sister Jiang."

"Are you alright?" Jiang Yuebai softly asked despite Chu Liang appearing unharmed.

"I’m fine." Chu Liang smiled, shaking his head.

On the other hand, Empress Feng’s greetings towards Wang Xuanling were quite direct.

She approached him with her hands tucked in her sleeves, frowned, and casually said to Wang Xuanling, "Let’s go, Old Deng."

Wang Xuanling’s face immediately darkened again. He didn’t want to engage in a verbal fight with her, so instantly flicked his sleeve, turned and left. Empress Feng naturally didn’t want to walk behind him—it seemed as if he were leading her and her group—so she quickly took several steps to stand ahead of him.

However, Wang Xuanling wasn’t willing to be behind Empress Feng, so he quickly stepped up, surpassing her again.

The competitive spirit flared between the Jade Sword Peak Master and Silver Sword Peak Master, their speed increasing as they both used their Divine Skills and vanished from sight in the blink of an eye.

"..."

All the disciples who had just come out were quite helpless. By now, the disciples of the Jade Sword Peak, such as Xu Ziyang and Lin Bei, had a great relationship with the disciples from the Silver Sword Peak, like Chu Liang. There was no conflict between the two sides anymore.

It’s just that the two peak masters were quite troublesome.

As for their disciples—who were not lost and knew their way home—they let the two peak masters go.

As everyone prepared to take off and return home, they suddenly heard a shout from behind them: "Warrior Chu!"

Chu Liang turned back and saw Xu Hongqiu again.

"Miss Xu?" He returned to meet her, puzzled. Naturally, he couldn’t sincerely call her ’niece’.

"I didn’t have a chance to thank you in person because of the chaos earlier," Xu Hongqiu said with a smile. "Before I leave, I want to thank you personally."

"Didn’t the Guild Master Xu and I become sworn brothers?" Chu Liang laughed, "In the future, I will rely on the support of your Whale Guild in my journey through the martial world, so there’s no need to be overly gracious."

"My father is his own person and so am I. I’m grateful for your life-saving assistance. I’m not sure how to repay it," Xu Hongqiu said solemnly, her eyes locked on Chu Liang. She thought back to the desolate scene from her dream, him riding a fire dragon descending from the sky...

"As cultivators, we always talk about behaving chivalrously and aiding the weak. Anyone would have helped in the same situation, so there’s no need to mention it. If Miss Xu keeps talking about repayment, I would be rather embarrassed." Chu Liang waved his hand in a grand manner before swiftly pivoting the conversation, "However... Speaking of it, I do need a small favor from you."

"Er... Er?" Caught by surprise by Chu Liang’s sudden statement, Xu Hongqiu quickly followed up, "What favor?"

"Your Whale Guild..." Chu Liang smiled and said: "You have quite a few businesses in Taotie City, don’t you?"

...

After chatting with Xu Hongqiu for a while, Chu Liang returned to the others, only to find that they were all looking at him with subtle expressions.

No one spoke up.

The atmosphere felt a bit awkward.

Seeing Lin Bei’s struggling facial expression, as if he was about to say something but then stopping himself, he would have definitely teased Chu, if not for the presence of Senior Sister Jiang.

In the end, it was Jiang Yuebai who broke the silence while they walked side by side, she smiled lightly and teased, "Judging by the lovestruck expression of Miss Xu, don’t tell me she’s offering herself as a reward, is she?"

"Ah?" Chu Liang was taken aback, "Am I really that transparent?"

Jiang Yuebai immediately increased her speed, no longer walking alongside Chu Liang.

"Hey, hey, hey..." Chu Liang hurriedly went after her, laughing, "I was discussing business with her."

"Hmph."
