"Third brother!"
The moment he heard this wretched laughter, Xiang Jinghong recognized who it was.
In the next moment, Xiang Yun has already walked into the hall. He looks at his second brother, Xiang Jinghong, who is sitting upright on the armchair with a pleasantly surprised expression on his face. The smile on Xiang Yun's face does not diminish.
"Second brother, what are you doing? She locked herself in her room in broad daylight.”
Xiang Jinghong did not immediately answer Xiang Yun's question. Instead, she craned her neck to look behind Xiang Yun. Seeing that there was not a single figure behind him, she knew that Xiang Yun had teased her with the words 'Father is here.'
Xiang Jinghong heaved a long sigh of relief, then glared fiercely at Xiang Yun and said,""You little brat, you've grown bolder. You even dare to tease your second brother and use my father to scare me.”
Xiang Yun says innocently:
"When did I tease you, Second Brother? You're still studying hard in broad daylight, studying the art of war. If Father sees this, he won't be able to wait to praise you!”
When Xiang Jinghong heard this, her expression changed slightly. She exhaled imperceptibly and said resentfully in her heart,"
"Fortunately, this kid didn't see through anything.”
Xiang Jinghong put on an awe-inspiring look again and looked up at the sky outside the door as he said with some emotion.
"Sigh…Second Brother is now a loyal general in the imperial court, a fourth-rank official. He is fighting for the country, leading troops to fight, and shouldering the reputation of our father, the son of the Fengyun Kingdom's God of War. Naturally, he does not dare to slack off. Even if it's broad daylight, he can't waste any leisure time, right?”
As he said this, Xiang Jinghong deliberately shook the book in his hand and stole a glance at Xiang Yun, who was looking at him with admiration, secretly laughing to himself.
"Second brother, the book in your hand seems to be upside down.”
"Ah…"
Xiang Jinghong lowered her head and looked at the military book in her hand.
He immediately flipped the book upside down in a fluster and looked at Xiang Yun in embarrassment. He mumbled to himself, wanting to explain something, but he couldn't think of a reasonable excuse.
However, before Xiang Jinghong could say anything, Xiang Yun beat him to it. He gave Xiang Jinghong a thumbs up and said with admiration,"
"Second brother is indeed second brother. His realm is indeed extraordinary. I once heard that someone could recite the art of war from the book of war backwards, but second brother can directly read the art of war backwards. His realm is only high, not low.”
Xiang Jinghong looked at Xiang Yun's exaggerated expression of admiration and helplessly threw the military book in his hand on the desk. He said to Xiang Yun in a bad mood,"
"Alright, stop pretending. I don't have any secrets in front of you.”
Xiang Yun chuckled upon hearing this. He looked at his second brother, Xiang Jinghong, whom he had not seen for nearly a year. He felt a sense of familiarity in his heart. This second brother of his seemed to have grown even stronger and taller. He sat there like a small mountain.
"Second Brother, when did you come back? Did the army give you a holiday?”
Xiang Jinghong said gloomily,"
"Yes, I get angry just by mentioning this. Didn't father celebrate his birthday today? I was planning to come three days earlier to congratulate father, but I didn't expect that my superior General Han would give me a month's leave in advance and tell me to hurry back to Silver City.”
"I said that I didn't want to come back so early, so he invited Marshal Hong over to persuade me. I had no choice but to come back a month earlier. I really don't know why they were more anxious than me to celebrate my father's birthday.”
Xiang Yun was also somewhat speechless when he heard this. He smiled mockingly and said,
"Who asked you to be the son of the King? Naturally, the Emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is.”
Xiang Jinghong shook his head dejectedly. He then looked up at Xiang Yun and suddenly realized that his third brother looked much more energetic than he had been a year ago. The eye bags were gone, his eyes were bright, and his face had a luster. His body seemed to have become stronger, and he exuded a pure aura.
"Eh…"
Xiang Jinghong exclaimed in surprise, and she couldn't help but stand up to surround him.
Xiang Yun takes a look around and carefully looks at him from head to toe.
"Hey, hey, hey…Second Brother, what are you doing? I'm a decent man, and I don't have any fetishes. Don't look at me like that!”
Xiang Yun crossed his arms in front of his chest and looked at Xiang Jinghong in a guarded manner.
"F * ck you, I don't have that kind of hobby!”
As Xiang Jinghong spoke, he subconsciously punched Xiang Yun's shoulder. When he did so, Xiang Jinghong felt a little regretful. Naturally, he did not intend to deal with Xiang Yun with this punch. On the contrary, this method was used in the army as a way to greet and express their closeness.
Xiang Jinghong was used to being in the army. For a moment, he had forgotten that this was no longer the army. The man in front of him was not a strong soldier with thick skin and thick flesh. Instead, he was his frail third brother. However, by the time he reacted, his fist had already hit Xiang Yun.
Even though he had already withdrawn some of his strength, the power of this punch was still not light. An ordinary man with a strong body would probably be beaten back a few steps. As for his weak third brother, he was afraid that he would be sent flying.
Xiang Jinghong staggered and almost made preparations to pounce forward and grab Xiang Yun.
"Bang…!"
As the punch was thrown, a soft muffled sound reverberated in the room. Xiang Jinghong had imagined that Xiang Yun would be sent flying. However, after withstanding his punch, his body swayed slightly. He did not even take a step back. He just stood straight on the spot.
"Aiyo…Second Brother, why did you hit me?"
Xiang Yun had an exaggerated expression of pain on his face. One look and one could tell that he was pretending.
"Yoho…!"
Xiang Jinghong exclaimed in surprise. He had observed that Xiang Yun's complexion and expression were different from before and was a little surprised. However, at this moment, he was also surprised that Xiang Yun did not take half a step back after taking his punch!
One had to know that with that punch, even a One-cloud martial artist would probably take a step back. Xiang Yun's body actually only swayed for a moment and was fine!
Xiang Jinghong's eyes darted around as he looked at Xiang Yun's seemingly frail and thin figure standing before his burly body. He suddenly reached out and grabbed Xiang Yun's arm. Xiang Yun then saw a streak of fiery red energy appear in Xiang Jinghong's hand and instantly enter his body.
In the next moment, Xiang Yun felt a warm sensation spread through his entire body, making him feel warm and comfortable, as if he was standing beside a stove.
This feeling only lasted for a moment. As a trace of fiery red energy flew out of Xiang Yun's body and returned to Xiang Jinghong's palm, he looked at Xiang Yun in disbelief.
"Eh…Strange, strange, you clearly don't have any spirit root or cloud power in your body, but how come the strength of your body has reached the level of a two-cloud martial artist? Moreover, your vigorous blood essence is comparable to an ordinary three-cloud or even four-cloud martial artist.”
When Xiang Yun heard this, he was stunned. He had guessed that Xiang Jinghong was checking his body. Xiang Yun naturally had nothing to hide from his second brother, so he allowed him to check without resisting.
He thought that he could not hide the fact that he had a spirit root after becoming a martial artist and was about to tell his second brother the truth. However, he did not expect his second brother to actually say that he did not have a spirit root.
Xiang Yun felt a little strange. He thought to himself,"I clearly have a golden spiritual root, so why can't my second brother detect it?" He worriedly looked inside his Dantian and saw that the golden vine was still inside his body, wrapped in the cloud power absorbed from heaven and earth. Only then did he relax.
What Xiang Yun did not know was that the moment Xiang Jinghong's fire attribute cloud power entered his body, the golden vine seemed to have merged into another space and disappeared instantly. Therefore, the other party could not detect its existence at all.
When Xiang Yun saw that his second brother did not detect his spiritual root, he did not expose it. Xiang Jinghong was a fire attribute cultivation genius with 40 spiritual roots. It was better not to mention his pitiful spiritual root and embarrass himself.
As for Xiang Jinghong's claim that his physical body was already comparable to a Two-cloud martial artist, Xiang Yun was rather surprised. He knew that his second brother had already broken through to the Seven-cloud realm and was a martial artist at the Yellow Cloud realm. What he said was absolutely true.
He's clearly a One-cloud martial artist, so how could his fleshly body reach the Two-cloud realm? Xiang Yun suddenly remembers that when he woke up, the cloud power in his spirit root seemed to have increased a lot.
Could it be because he drank that huge jar of Five Poison Wine?
Xiang Yun suddenly thought of the greatest possibility of the changes in his body. The Five Poison Wine is a great tonic. Presumably, while washing away the impurities in his body, it must have also improved his cultivation.
"This Jin Yong Wuxia System is indeed good stuff!”
Xiang Yun couldn't help but click his tongue in admiration in his heart. At the same time, he was looking forward to the lucky draw on the seventh of March next month.
"Kid, you're not bad. I haven't seen you for a year, but you've actually changed so much. You're no longer the sickly person who overindulged in sex and had shivers when walking. It seems that you've really turned over a new leaf.”
Xiang Jinglei could not help but sigh again.
He had been very worried about Xiang Yun's frail body and had repeatedly advised his younger brother to exercise regularly and pay attention to temperance. However, he knew his third brother's temperament and had said all these things in vain. He had never expected that he would have such a big change after meeting him this time!
Xiang Yun says with a proud smile:
"Hehe…Second Brother, you don't understand. This little brother here is called plucking yin to nourish yang, strengthening the body.”
"Alright, look at how smug you are!”
Xiang Jinghong rolled her eyes at Xiang Yun. Naturally, she would not believe Xiang Yun's theory of plucking Yin to nourish Yang.
He was only guessing that his father must have given his third brother some kind of miraculous medicine to cause such a shocking change.
The two brothers chatted for a while more. Suddenly, Xiang Jinghong got up and went into the room to take out a rectangular brocade box. He placed it on the table and said to Xiang Yun,"
"Third brother, this is for you."
Stunned, Xiang Yun pointed at the brocade box and said,"
"What is this, a erotic painting?"
"Spring my ass!"
Xiang Jinghong was infuriated by Xiang Yun. How could this guy always think of those messy things?
" Little Yun, I thought you were still that sickly ghost. This is a tonic that I specially brought from the northern border for you. Although your physique has improved, eating this thing will still be beneficial!”
