959 Concession of Brothers (1/2)
Song Changgong and Li Yixin bowed again to Wan Qingliu and Bai Yuxi.
Both of them knew well that it was tantamount to yielding. How could it not be? It was yielding with their lives as the wager. Even though Wan Qingliu and Bai Yuxi were no higher than them in seniority, Song Changgong and Li Yixin could easily die along the long strenuous journey if the former two men had any ulterior motives.
Once they had gotten the Qi of vitality and escaped the approaching limitations of their age, in addition to their status and cultivation base, the General Commerce League would not pursue the case any further, despite wanting to.
The significant sentiment of what had happened at this moment was indescribable. They could only etch it in their hearts, thinking that it would be unworthy to call themselves humans if they were to ever forget it!
”Brother, remove the seal quickly and use the Qi of vitality.”
Song Changgong stood stiffly straight, looking at Li Yixin.
”Big brother, the elder brother will always come first before the younger one. There is no sense for this young one to go first. You should come first, big brother.” Li Yixin was determined.
Song Changgong replied sternly, ”Since we become sworn brothers, I've been the decision-maker in everything big or small! Since when do you have a say? You shall take the energy when I ask you to! Are you trying to go against your elder brother?”
Li Yixin laughed. ”There's no you or me in brotherhood. Big brother, I've obeyed you my entire life, it's tiring. What would it matter if I rebel for once today?”
Song Changgong refuted harshly, ”If you don't take it immediately, I shall kill myself right on the spot. Do you think I dare not do it?”
Everyone else was shocked, the color quickly draining from their faces.
Li Yixin looked unperturbed, however, as he spoke calmly, ”If you aren't taking it, I won't as well. At most, we shall die together. Isn't it living to what we said when we made our oaths? We can't be born on the same day, same month and the same year, but we can die on the same day, same month and same year!”
Song Changgong's snow-white hair and beard shook in his fury. He started to pant. ”Are you trying to anger me to death? I'm asking you to use it first and I'll take the remaining portion. Why are you so stubborn?”
Li Yixin chuckled. ”Big brother, I'm three good years younger than you. I still have time.”
Song Changgong was baffled by his rage. They were brothers, sharing a similar cultivation base and age; being Supreme Saint in cultivation base level and enjoying tens of thousands of years in age, the three-year difference was not a gap at all!
As both of them continued to argue, Lang Fantian, Feng Guohai and the rest of the people there were increasingly moved.
These two elderly men had come to the end of their longevity, death knocking at their doorstep at anytime, but they were pushing the opportunity to stay alive to the other party, despite facing the attractive lure of vitality.
Lang Fantian inhaled deeply and said, ”You don't have to do this. Before I came, the chief has given me some heaven and earth resources privately and told me formally that if the Qi of vitality were true and divinely effective, our league will further extend our sincerity and request Brother Yun to enter again.”
Song Changgong and Li Yixin gazed at each other before Song Changgong's wrinkled face was adorned with a smile. ”Brother, what you are worried about now? Use it quickly!”
Li Yixin smiled contentedly as well, replying, ”Great, great. Big brother, you really don't have to worry about me now!”
These two men were still pushing it to each other, unwilling to give in and be the first one to take the ball of energy!
