Chapter 25: True Brothers
Cao Wei raised his head, spat a few times, and opened his mouth to spit. "Boss, don't scare me, did you really succeed?" Chen Kun also looked at Rong Yao with suspicious eyes. Rong Yao nodded proudly. Cao Wei quickly stood up, put on his pants, and circled around Rong Yao, sizing him up from head to toe. His eyes rolled around restlessly. Rong Yao kicked him once with a raised foot. Cao Wei dodged to the side, laughing and saying: "Boss, you won't be fooling us, will you? I don't think you look like someone who's succeeded."
Rongyao climbed onto the kang and said seriously, "I really did it, just last night." The two of them saw my serious expression and stopped messing around. "With my current power, taking revenge is a simple matter. However, what I want is not just to take revenge simply. We must develop our own strength, so that no one dares to bully us or our families. But this path is not easy to walk, you need to be mentally prepared. Once we embark on this path, there's no turning back. Cao Lei, I don't want to say anything, after all, he's just a small hoodlum now. Our town's famous madman Lei, fighting is his specialty, and he doesn't care about his life. He's suitable for this path. But you, Chen Kun, are different, intelligent, good at studying, with unlimited potential. You need to think carefully. In the past, I let you join because I wasn't confident in taking revenge, actually, it was just adding you two to our team, and our hopes weren't high either. Although Grandfather Zhang taught us everything he knew, we reached a basic level of special forces training, but after all, we haven't been through actual combat, and we've never even held a gun. Sun Hao's bodyguards are real retired soldiers, with his power, if we killed him, we would face endless escape."
Actually, I don't need to say it, with your intelligence you already understand in your heart. The reason I'm saying it now is that with my current power, one person can take revenge alone, there's no need to drag you into this. Even if it's Cao Kun, I just want him to control the underworld forces, as for killing Sun Hao, one person is enough.”
Chen Kun thought for a long time and said, "Are we still brothers?" Rong Yao nodded: "Of course... now, in the future, and forever." "Since we are brothers, what do you want me to do? Don't forget that we have sworn an oath. Now you're going back on your word and saying you'll take revenge yourself. Cao Kun controls the underworld. What am I to you, a brother or not? Don't say such things. Besides, you're now a master, what's there for me to fear? Even if it's a mountain of knives and a sea of fire, we brothers will face it together. Are you afraid of being pursued?"
When he heard these words, Rongyao's heart was moved. He stood up and said excitedly: "Good brother, some people say that the Jianghu is not so easy to get through. From now on, we brothers will go through it together. For a lifetime, two brothers. Till death do us part." After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand, Chen Kun and Cao Lei also stretched out their hands. They said excitedly: "Till death do us part." Their hands were tightly clasped together.
Calmly, Rongyao said: "As for the practice, you can't do it for now." Cao Lei heard that and anxiously asked: "Boss, have you really succeeded? Why can't we?" "That's not martial arts, but a cultivation secret. I didn't know when I first started, but when I succeeded, I understood the words written in the book. To cultivate, one must have a pre-heavenly body."
"What the...? Cultivating the truth? That's something that only exists in fantasy novels, do cultivators really exist?" Cao Wei asked skeptically. Rong Yao nodded: "Yes, I'll think of a way to let you all cultivate too. After all, only by becoming strong can we live longer."
