Ch128 - My martial brother is the most beautiful person in the world (2/2)
Oh. Chi Lan still hadn’t allowed him to call him that for the time being, but who cared? He wouldn’t be able to hear it if he spoke about it outside.
Chi Jian knew that Chi Lan had received a disciple some time ago, but had never expected that he would be able to see him. It was only later on, after Yu Shaofeng explained, that he realized Yu Shaofeng was only a little disciple that had been brought along by that disciple, and was not actually valued by Chi Lan at all.
There was no expression on his face, but he still tried hard to make himself appear comforting. He opened his mouth and said to Yu Shaofeng, “Uncle has always been cold to people. The fact that he was willing to talk to you is already a very good thing.”
Yu Shaofeng smiled and expressed that he didn’t mind at all.
The one he liked was his martial brother, not his Master.
Who cared about how that Master usually treated others?

They chatted happily and made appointments to meet up several days in a row, and were either chatting together or exploring. Even Xue Ling noticed the change in Yu Shaofeng, but he had said early on that he would allow Yu Shaofeng to make friends by himself. His original intention of bringing him out was so that he could participate a little more in the plot.
Although it seemed that he had been cheated by the man a few times, Xue Ling still believed in his words. As long as he let the protagonist go out and about, the plot would smash directly onto his head. All he needed to do now was wait.
Sure enough, after going out for five consecutive days, Yu Shaofeng excitedly rushed back to find Xue Ling with his new little companion in tow.
“Martial brother! Martial brother!” Because of how quickly he had run and how excited he was, his face was a little unnaturally red, and his eyes were bright and sparkling. He had grown quite a bit of meat during this period, which made him look even more like a cute little youth. “Hurry and take a look at what we managed to buy!”
He was holding a small stone in his hand. It was a dark, round thing that was not attractive in any way, the type of thing that would definitely be ignored at a glance.
Xue Ling’s mind was full of nothing but “It’s happening, it’s happening! The protagonist’s exclusive ability to fill in the gaps!”
He reached out and closed the door, laid down a formation, and glanced at the quiet teenager who had come in with Yu Shaofeng. He noticed that the other party was wearing clothes from Chi Clan, and guessed that this boy was probably the one that his little disciple brother had been paying attention to and going out with recently. “Regardless of what you managed to buy, you still need to stay calm. Did you really run over the whole way with that foolish look on your face? Letting everyone know that you’ve bought something good?”
“Naturally not.” Yu Shaofeng put down the stone in his hand and introduced Chi Jian, who was standing behind him. “Chi Jian and I aren’t idiots. I was incredibly calm on the way back~ Martial brother, this is Chi Jian. He seems to be related to Master, and he says that he calls Master ‘uncle’.”
Xue Ling knew who it was as soon as he heard his name. Although he was surprised that he had appeared a little early, since he was the right person, he could rest assured.
It was just another unlucky child.
When these two were paired together, they were simply just a pair of unlucky goods.
“Master’s nephew?” Xue Ling’s lips were curved, and his attitude seemed quite mild. “I am Shaofeng’s martial brother, and your uncle’s senior disciple. If you don’t mind, you can just follow Shaofeng’s example and call me martial brother.”
Chi Jian made a very precise bow and cupped his hands together as he greeted, “Martial brother Xue.”
“Addressing me like that is fine too.” Xue Ling rubbed Shaofeng’s head. “This child Shaofeng is a little reckless, it must have been troublesome taking him around these days.”

“No, it’s fine. Shaofeng and I get along very well.”
“It’s great that you guys can get along.” After exchanging polite pleasantries, Xue Ling finally turned his eyes towards the dark stone. “Well, you can tell me now. What’s special about this stone?”
Yu Shaofeng laughed sneakily and said, “We went to visit a stone gambling stall today. This is something we picked and bought.”
Wang Clan had many jade mines, and stone gambling was a popular game for the people who lived here. Some people could make a fortune overnight because they chose some fine jade, while others lost their property and went bankrupt because of these stones.
“What, this is a stone you guys brought back from stone gambling? Are you so excited because there’s jade inside?”
“There isn’t any jade, but this stone is really mysterious.” Yu Shaofeng picked up the stone and waved Chi Jian over. “Martial brother, look. As long as Chi Jian and I put our sword intents inside…” As he spoke, the stone began to give off a faint light.
A line of light appeared in the dark stone along the place where the two people were holding the stone. Slowly, it drew out a miniature, incomplete map on the surface of the stone. “Martial brother, look! Isn’t this some sort of hidden map to a secret realm!”

Xue Ling mentally flipped through the confidential synopsis that the system had provided. This stone should be related to a very large secret realm that was written about in the plot. Only, this realm only opened relatively later in the plot, and by that time, Yu Shaofeng and Chi Jian’s strength was strong enough that they could escape most people’s pursuit. It was only then that they finally made a move and entered the realm.
And there were a total of five black stones. They would need to feed their sword intent into all five in order to see the entire map, and it would take time for them to find them all.
As a qualified elder martial brother, Xue Ling was not hesitant in putting his younger martial brother to work at all. “Yes, it should be. But there’s not much point if you only have one piece. If you can find all the stones, perhaps I can bring you and Chi Jian to go and take a look.”
“Good! Then it’s settled!” Yu Shaofeng did not ask Chi Jian for his opinion at all and immediately agreed. It looked like he had a mysterious attraction towards places like secret realms.
Perhaps his obsessive perseverance which made him appear like an undying cockroach also infected Chi Jian, making Chi Jian also willing to go through life and death with him.They were both all kinds of foolish…
At least, Xue Ling felt that way.
He did not know that after the two left, Yu Shaofeng pulled Chi Jian away sneakily, and asked, “Wasn’t I right? My martial brother is the most beautiful person in the world. Even Master isn’t as good-looking! You lost. When we spar later, you have to let me have three moves first.”

Chi Jian’s steps paused. His voice softened a lot, and he sounded rather helpless. “Good.”
