Chapter 237: Sworn Brothers
After a pause, Lin Yi continued: "The power behind the four of us is very weak, or like me, there is no power at all. And you are different from all of us. You are descendants of Jiuhua Old Man and a genius of the Qu family in the Amber City. What is the reason why you want to become sworn brothers with us?"
Lu Fangliang, Shi Biao and Li Jiale were all looking at Qu Xiuzhi curiously. The three of them were like Lin Yi, wanting to know why Qu Xiuzhi had the idea of becoming sworn brothers with them.
Qu Xiuzhi was watched by the four people. He pondered for a moment and said with great firmness: "Because I like your lifestyle. You four are not intrigues, you do not suspicion between each other, you get along well with each other, treat each other honestly."
Lin Yi suddenly laughed, and he felt that this boy was more and more interesting.
The chill in Lu Fangliang's eyes went away. The boy named Qu Xiuzhi was right. He treated each other honestly, which was also the reason why he followed Lin Yi to Mingzhu Academy.
Shi Biao patted his chest, laughed, and said, "I like to hear this sentence. Although we are not brothers, we are better than brothers!"
Li Jiale nodded sincerely. Qu Xiuzhi was right, which was also the reason why he kept following Lin Yi. If it was really on the battlefield, he believed that he, like Lin Yi, would hand over his back to each other with great confidence. This belief is unconditional.
Seeing that the hostility of Lin Yi and the other four was finally eliminated, Qu Xiuzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, Lin Yi suddenly laughed and said, "If you really like our lifestyle, you are welcome... to join us."
Qu Xiuzhi couldn't believe his ears.
"You... are you saying that you agree that I will become sworn brothers with you?" Qu Xiuzhi asked nervously.
"The descendants of Jiuhua Old Man want to join us. What reason do we have to refuse?" Lin Yi smiled.
"Welcome to join us." Lu Fangliang smiled rare.
Shi Biao laughed and said, "There will be another big bowl of wine and eating meat in the future. I'm so awesome!"
Li Jiale smiled the happiestly, and no one knew better than him how powerful the Qu family was in Amber City. With such a brother with an extremely deep family background, he felt that he could walk across Amber City in the future.
The happiest thing is Qu Xiuzhi. Lin Yi attracted his attention when he was staring at the cliff. He passed three hurdles and defeated five generals. Lin Yi's cultivation talent and record made him worship him. Today, when he saw Lin Yi and three friends rushing into the bamboo forest excitedly, he followed in curiously, but unexpectedly he met four people about to become sworn brothers.
He almost plucked up his courage to come out. He knew that he would be rejected, but he just didn't want to miss this opportunity. He really admired Lin Yi and envied Lin Yi and the others for their honest and free lifestyle when they were together.
"What are you waiting for?" Lin Yi looked at him with a smile, "Come here to become sworn brothers together."
"Um."
Qu Xiuzhi hurriedly agreed and ran to Lin Yi with excitement on his face.
The five people stood side by side, and Li Jiale told Qu Xiuzhi again the previous words, and Qu Xiuzhi nodded heavily.
It was already dusk and the wind was blowing, rustling with bamboo leaves.
The five teenagers in the bamboo forest stood like javelins, all of whom were solemn.
"I, Li Jiale, is sixteen years and six months old this year. I want to make friends with Lin Yi, Lu Fangliang, Shi Biao, and Qu Xiuzhi to make an eight-day friendship. This is my heart and mind, and the world can learn from it!"
"I, Shi Biao, are eighteen years old this year... Uh, I don't know how many years old or eighteen years old, anyway, I'm 18 years old. If you want to make friends with Lin Yi, Lu Fangliang, Li Jiale, and Qu Xiuzhi, you will become friends with eighteen worshipers. In the future, you will be blessed and difficult to share the same thing. This will be learned by heaven and earth!"
"I, Lu Fangliang, is 19 years and three months old this year. I want to become friends with Lin Yi, Shi Biao, Li Jiale, and Qu Xiuzhi. I will enjoy the blessings and difficulties in the future. This will be learned from heaven and earth!"
"I, Lin Yi, is 16 years and seven months old this year. I am loved by my brothers. I want to become friends with Lu Fangliang, Shi Biao, Li Jiale, and Qu Xiuzhi. I will become friends with Eight Worships. I will enjoy the blessings and the difficulty of being together in the future. This will be learned by heaven and earth!"
After saying this, Lin Yi sighed slightly in his heart.
After thousands of years of rebirth, he has always been disrespectful to heaven and earth in his dictionary of life. But today he became sworn brothers and all his brothers respected him. How can he be exempted from the world?
It was Qu Xiuzhi's turn, and he said solemnly: "I, Qu Xiuzhi, are sixteen years and three months old this year. I am not abandoned by my brothers. I will be allowed to make friends with four brothers for eight times. I will enjoy the blessings and the difficulties in the future. If I go against my will, heaven will be punished by the earth!"
Swish---
Lin Yi and the other four looked at Qu Xiuzhi in unison.
Qu Xiuzhi said seriously: "Four brothers, please rest assured. Although I joined late, I will definitely respect the four brothers in the future and will never do anything to hurt the four brothers. I swear to God!"
Lin Yi smiled and shook his head, saying, "We all understand your intentions. It is because of this that we agree that you will become sworn brothers with us, so that you don't have to make such a poisonous oath. We can disrespect the heavens and the earth, but just respect our conscience."
"Brother is right, but he is disrespectful to heaven and earth. We must respect our conscience." Qu Xiuzhi smiled and said, "It seems that I am too persistent."
All four laughed.
Under the leadership of Li Jiale, the five people knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Dongfang eight times together. This is called the friendship of eight beggings.
Next, all five people pierced their fingertips and dripped a drop of blood into the wine bowl. The wine bowl was passed in the hands of the five people, and all five people drank the bloody wine in the bowl one after another.
After the ceremony, the vow is fulfilled.
Lu Fangliang is the oldest and ranked first. Shi Biao is the second, Lin Yi is the third, Li Jiale is the fourth, Qu Xiuzhi is the youngest and ranked fifth.
After the swornship, Shi Biao looked at Lu Fangliang and laughed: "Brother."
Lu Fangliang smiled and said, "Second brother." Then, he smiled at Lin Yi and said, "Third brother."
Lin Yi bowed and said, "Brother."
Li Jiale and Qu Xiuzhi also bowed to Lin Yi and the other two respectively, and for a moment, the bamboo forest was lively.
"I want me to tell you, what are the second, third, fourth and fifth brothers? In addition to the eldest brother, I will just call you third, fourth, and fifth brothers." Shi Biao said carelessly.
Lin Yi nodded and smiled, "Since you have finished your swornship, you can shout whatever you like."
After a sworn brotherhood, there was no barrier between the five people and they got along more harmoniously.
The five people were chatting and laughing, sitting around the stone table, pouring the wine, tearing the chicken open, and chopping the pig's head into pieces with a knife. In the sunset of the west sky, the four of them feasted, drank and ate meat, and talked a lot, and were so happy.
But not long after, a group of people suddenly broke into the bamboo forest, which immediately destroyed the interest of the five people.
