nFu Xing was shocked.

nMu Zixi was also shocked.

n

n

nEven Fu Yinhong was bewildered.

nThis guy, who had appeared from nowhere, was calling her sister.

nIt could not be right.

nShe had met this guy before.

n

n

n“Are you… Xu Xiaoshou?”

nFu Yinhong suddenly recalled that day she was out on a mission and the black spectral lotus descended from the sky. She had encountered an Innate by chance in the street behind Plenty Gold Company.

nThat day, she had many things to deal with and had met many people, so there was no way to recall everything.

nRegardless, this guy was quite recognizable. At least his mouth and the familiar tone of voice instantly tugged her memory.

n

n

nXu Xiaoshou only slightly shook his head at her words. Drawing his hands behind his back, he took a step back and raised his head.

n“Show some respect! What Xu Xiaoshou? You have to call me Big Brother!”

nAfter hearing that, Fu Yinhong’s face darkened. She felt the veins in her forehead throbbing and was instantly angry.

nHe had developed quite the thick skin in a short time.

nThe day she interrogated him, he had been treading on thin ice and behaved carefully around her, but now…

nHe wanted her to call him Big Brother.

n

n

nWho gave him the guts to speak in this manner in front of a vice commander?

n“I heard that you did not follow my orders that day and also knocked out the guard.” Fu Yinhong’s eyes narrowed, and her expression instantly became dangerous.

nTo be honest, after taking off her armor, she was not fond of handling official business.

nYet, this young man had spoken so wildly that if she, a vice commander, could not teach him a lesson, then how could she save face?

nXu Xiaoshou gave her a deep look and did not intend to argue about the matter.

nThis matter could not be justified. If he were to speak further, he was afraid he would be imprisoned.

nHe turned his head to look at Fu Xing and asked, “This is your younger sister, right? You should have called her just now.”

nFu Xing did not reply. He had a bad feeling deep down.

n

n

nIt was just a bet, and it was just a punch…

nSo why did it turn out this way?

nSince Xu Xiaoshou received no reply, he took it as a silent agreement.

nIf he did not make a pre-emptive strike and exert dominance over this girl now, he was afraid that he would be the one who was dominated.

nHe calmly said, “Since this is your sister, then isn’t it appropriate for me to call your sister, ‘Sister?'”

nYoung Master Fu thought, ‘You have a point, but I dare not speak.’

nFu Yinhong, on the other hand, observed her brother’s wordlessness and followed with a moment of silence.

nAfter realizing that he had nothing to say, the red-haired young lady raised her eyebrows and burst out in anger.

nShe was not sure what had happened between the two of them but failing the test was frustrating enough.

nAlthough it was partially due to the earthquake that had just happened, this was the will of God and beyond her control.

nHowever, as soon as she left the alchemy room, she was greeted by such a mouthy Innate scumbag who called her his “Sister.”

nAnd to think that it was the little ant who resisted her orders before.

nSister?

n

n

nDid he think she had a good temper?

nA loud clanging followed as she immediately pulled out a long sword from her spatial ring, which even startled Shi Ti.

n“Put down your sword! Don’t be disrespectful!”

nThe association president bellowed before realizing that his tone was rather harsh, to which he immediately added, “This is the Magic Pill Technicians Association.”

nFu Yinhong bowed apologetically and slowly put her sword away. In her heart, a shocking suspicion began to rise.

n‘This Xu Xiaoshou…’

n‘Since when did he get involved with President Shi Ti?’

n‘Listening to his words of concern, and realizing that this person was personally invited by the president…’

n‘And…’

n‘Since when did my elder brother start tolerating a mere Innate to behave so wildly and overstep his authority?’

n“Xu Xiaoshou, what exactly do you mean?”

nXu Xiaoshou saw that the girl had calmed down and thought that the situation would be easier to handle.

nHe glanced at Fu Xing. “Explain yourself, Younger Brother.”

nYounger Brother…

nFu Xing almost spurted out a mouthful of blood.

nHe swore that if life could rewind, he would never get involved in that so-called heroic rescue.

nMoreover, he would never engage in such a humiliating bet with Xu Xiaoshou.

nEven if he were to give this kid a million spirit crystals, it would be preferable to their bet.

nThe development of the events strayed greatly from his imagination. Actually, they had gone south completely.

nHe covered his face in shame. How on earth did the situation go this way?

n“Fu Xing!”

nFu Yinhong pressured him loudly.

nThis group, who was at the entrance of the alchemy room, had started attracting a lot of attention. Fu Yinhong’s impulsion to draw a sword had already caused the old alchemists’ hearts to tremble.

nAfter all, not everyone could maintain the same level of alchemy and cultivation, and those who were the likes of Sang Lao and Shi Ti were far and few between.

nFu Xing thought nervously, ‘If we wait any longer, everyone will be drawn here again.’

nHe dawdled and said, “It’s actually nothing. It’s just a gamble.”

n“What gamble is it, and with this kid?”

nFu Yinhong was in utter disbelief that her older brother would be a bully. She started telling him off. “With your cultivation level, why do you go bullying people, you–”

nShe suddenly stopped talking.

nThat was not right.

nIf Fu Xing had won, how could this awkward situation occur? He also would not have behaved in this squirming manner.

n“Did you lose?” In her shock, her volume increased.

nFu Xing’s face turned green at the thought that so many people were watching them.

nCouldn’t she leave her brother some dignity?

nAfter all, there was not much left.

n“Shh!”

nHe hurriedly shushed her. “Why don’t we talk in the alchemy room?”

n“Now, immediately, tell me the whole story clearly!”

nFu Yinhong was on the verge of exploding. Not only had he lost, but he also pulled her down with him.

nSister?

nWhen she thought of this word, her chest started heaving violently.

nXu Xiaoshou was getting on her nerves. Previously, she had not managed to imprison him. Now, he had found another way to exert his dominance over her.

nFu Xing was feeling down in the dumps, “Actually it’s nothing. It was just a punch bet. We are just joking only that the loser will call the other Big Brother.”

nHe had completely let go of the matter and turned toward Xu Xiaoshou to lower his head.

n“Big Brother!”

n“I shall call you Big Brother, alright? Don’t pull my leg anymore. Let’s put this behind us.”

nXu Xiaoshou was already satisfied. Upon hearing the latter part of the sentence, he immediately signaled Fu Xing to stop talking.

n“What did you say?”

nFu Xing thought that he was going to use his tricks on him again. He did not even allow the other man to finish saying “I didn’t hear you! Speak up louder!” before shouting with all his might.

n“Big Brother!”

nHis loud and clear voice startled the sparrows outside the windows, not to mention the people in the court. Everyone in the court heard him clearly, and all of them looked confused.

nHad Young Master Fu called this Innate Big Brother?

nDoubted, Passive Points, 36.

nAdmired, Passive Points, 22.

nXu Xiaoshou gritted his teeth and leaned back, covering his ears. “Why are you screaming so loudly? I am not deaf!”

n“I meant to say, what was your previous sentence?”

nFu Xing was silent a moment.

nHe thought for a bit and asked, “Are you letting this matter go?”

n“The sentence before that!”

nFu Xing did not know what he wanted, but as a Spiritual Cultivator, he had a good memory. He immediately searched his mind and spoke without missing a word.

n“It’s nothing really. It’s just a gamble. Everyone is just joking…”

n“Stop!”

nXu Xiaoshou suddenly reached his hand out to stop him from talking.

nFu Xing held his tongue instantly and asked with a bad feeling, “So?”

n“Just kidding…”

nXu Xiaoshou muttered. He suddenly shook his head and stretched out a finger against Fu Xing’s brow.

n“My foolish younger brother, do you really think I am joking with you?”

n“If you agree to a bet, you must accept loss! You can’t run from being my younger brother!”

n
