19 True Martial Brothers! (2/2)
”True martial brothers…” In his dazed state, Xiao Yan hadn't heard the latter part of his senior martial brother's speech. If he had, he would be depressed by now.
”Think about it…” Yang Lei smiled as he walked away. Since he had grown up without a mother, he needed care and affection! Although he had a biological father and brother, they were bound to the Yang Clan! Even though they were only second young masters, thus having almost no chance to grab the Young Clan Lord spot, his childhood friends Gu Tianji and Li Kuang were also bound to their respective clans.
Yang Lei needed friends who could go through trouble with him! Thus, he had recruited Xiao Yan to become his martial brother. However, just recruiting people won't do him any good.
To become true martial brothers, they needed to strengthen the trust between them, until it reached the point of life and death!
Now, Yang Lei was on the way to meet a potential martial brother. The man in the tree from last night!
As he made his way through the sweating herb gatherer teams, his eyes scanned the mercenaries lazing around. When he had made his way to the busiest part of camp, Yang Lei stopped.
There were twenty or so mercenaries hanging around, chatting and joking. Yang Lei immediately spotted the man he was looking for. How could he not?
While the other men were laughing, joking, and chatting about women, Ji Kuang was sitting there with his fists clenched and teeth gritted. The other men were oblivious to this as they continued talking about their favorite types of women.
The corners of Yang Lei's mouth turned up slightly as he walked up slowly to Ji Kuang. This was going to be easier than he thought…

|Ji Kuang's POV|
”Hahaha, do you know what type of women I love the most?” A mercenary with a long scar running down his cheek grinned. I think this bastard needs a little more scars…
”Nah, you're so ugly, women can't get near you,” his friend joked as he laughed happily. At least this one was more polite, not talking about women like that…
I was only here because I couldn't stand the other Wolf Head Mercenaries. Every time I saw their faces, I would remember that it was them who had caused my elder sister's death! It was them who had caused my only family to suicide!
Although they didn't recognize me since I was too young back then, I recognized them. I recognized every single one! I needed to kill every single guilty member!
I wanted to force them to kill themselves like they had done to my Ji Qing! No, I wanted to rip them apart and feed them to the Co Apes!
As I listened to these stupid mercenaries beside me, I felt like they needed the same punishment. Just when I was about to make them shut up, I felt a hand on my shoulder. Glowering, I turned my head and saw a young man nodding at me. At least he wasn't smiling. I would have punched him…

When we had arrived at his tent, he motioned for me to sit down. When I sat down, I frowned and jumped up. What was this sticky liquid? Although I didn't have the chance to bring it to my nose before he stopped me hurriedly. Still, the fragrance had still reached my nose. Damn, that smells good! I knew at that moment that it was something exotic!
He gave me some water to wash my hands and he cleaned the mat before telling me to sit again.
As I stared at him, he nodded gently. He opened his mouth and said, ”You want revenge on him?”
I was bewildered. Him? Did this boy know? I narrowed my eyes, ”Who?”
”Mu Lu sh*t, ah? Hm, maybe you'll be able to kill him with your 7-star Dou Zhe strength. But would you make it out alive his thirty something 4-star Dou Zhe cronies behind you?” He tilted his head and looked at me indifferently as he listed out my probabilities of winning.
”How did you know?” I ignored what he had said and asked him a question curiously.
”Eh, nothing gets pass me,” the youth smiled sheepishly as he scratched his head. Suddenly, his piercing gaze locked on mine. ”I would never interrupt my enemy when he is making a mistake…”
He grinned, ”Mu Li, ah, sending someone who hates him to monitor me, his enemy? Such a big, juicy mistake… How could I ever bear to stop him?”
After trying to analyze his motives for a while, I took a deep breath. On that very day, in that very tent, I told someone else my story for the first time. The story of I, Ji Kuang!
