Chapter 59: The Golden Lotus Bond

  Ye Chen was still inside discussing with the two women when a series of knocks sounded from outside the door.

  Bang!

  Bang!

  ......

  Ye Chen was startled and hastily restored his right hand to its original state. He put on his upper garment and shouted towards the outside of the door, "Who is it?"

  "It's me, Mo Tian!"

  Mo Tian's voice came from outside the door.

  Ye Chen took a glance at the second woman and immediately walked towards the door to open it.

  Ye Chen opened the door and saw Mo Tian, Wang Zhan, and Huo Feng standing at the entrance.

  Ye Chen's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and he said in a low voice, "How did you guys come here?"

  Huo Feng walked up with a puzzled face, looked at Ye Chen and turned around in a circle, then said to the two of them: "He's actually still alive!"

  "Really!"

  Mo Tian also nodded in agreement.

  Ye Chen looked at the three people's expressions and asked with a puzzled face: "What are you guys doing?!"

  Mo Tian awkwardly smiled and said: "Let's take a look at whether you're dead or not!"

  Ye Chen's face turned black with anger as soon as he heard Mo Tian's words, and he said indignantly: "Mo Tian, you're really not making any sense!"

  "Hey!" Mo Tian smiled apologetically, then pulled out two jars of wine from behind him and waved them in front of Ye Chen, saying softly: "The three of us didn't come out just to buy two jars of good wine to apologize to you!"

  Ye Chen isn't someone who is particularly fond of drinking, but he really enjoys the feeling of being drunk, especially after getting completely wasted, that feeling of not knowing anything.

  Huo Tian smiled and pulled Ye Chen into the courtyard.

  Wang Zhan suddenly appeared on the stone table in the courtyard, staring at the two jars of wine in Mo Tian's hand. For Wang Zhan, wine was a good thing.

  Ye Chen smiled slightly and glanced at everyone before shouting into the house: "Xin'er, Bing'er come out and have a drink!"

  Then Shen Xiang and Mu Bing walked out hand in hand.

  Mu Bing smiled slightly at everyone and bowed her head slightly.

  Shen Xiang gave a greeting to everyone, after all, these people were relatively familiar to Shen Xiang.

  Mo Tian smiled awkwardly at the two women and nodded in response.

  Ye Chen said, "Let's go, let's have a drink together!"

  Mu Bing nodded at Shen Xiang, then said in a low voice, "I'll go make some dishes to accompany your wine!" Then, she turned around and headed towards the kitchen.

  Shen Xiang also smiled at everyone and hurriedly followed up.

  Mo Tian and the three others looked at Ye Chen with a face full of admiration, saying: "You're really awesome!"

  Ye Chen ignored the three of them and turned his head to look at the back of the two women, his face filled with a happy feeling, making the other three people extremely envious.

  "Come! Let's have a drink!"

  "Come on!"

  The four men immediately sat down on the stone chairs in the courtyard and put the wine on the stone table.

  Ye Chen and Mo Tian, Huo Feng three people were all using small bowls to hold wine, chatting while drinking, but Wang Zhan directly hugged a jar to drink, however, the three of them had seen it before.

  "Awesome!"

  Wang Zhan wiped away the remaining wine from his mouth and shouted loudly.

  Ye Chen and the other two also lightly clinked their wine cups together before downing them in one gulp.

  Before long, Mu Bing and Shen Xian brought up a few small dishes and placed them on the stone table.

  Shen Xiang looked at the two jars of wine, now only half a jar left, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, of course one of the jars was drunk by Wang Zhan himself.

  "I'm going to get some wine!"

  Shen Xiang said softly and immediately turned around to walk towards the kitchen, Ye Chen didn't like drinking much but usually kept some for entertaining guests.

  A moment later, Shen Xian brought two jars of wine and walked up to the stone table, putting them down and sitting on either side of Ye Chen with Mu Bing.

  King Zhan saw that there was more wine coming, his eyes lit up, and he hastily grabbed a jar, drinking it directly. Everyone looked at King Zhan, who was usually very steady, and they all exchanged smiles.

  Everyone was drinking and chatting, all extremely happy, even Shen Xiang and Mu Bing had a few sips, their faces now flushed bright red.

  "Ye Chen, this cup is to celebrate your return from re-cultivation!"

  Mo Tian raised his wine glass towards Ye Chen and nodded slightly, then everyone else also raised their glasses and drank to the bottom.

  "Ye Chen, this cup is to congratulate you on having two wives as beautiful as celestial beings!"

  Huo Feng said with a sly smile on his face.

  Bang!

  Bang!

  What awaited Huo Feng was not everyone's toast, but Ye Chen and Shen Xin's two fists. Mu Bing had already blushed to the point of being unrecognizable.

  Huo Feng looked at them with a hint of resentment and said in a low voice: "No humanity!" Then, he drained the wine in his cup.

  At this time, Mo Tian suddenly stood up, looked at everyone, and said seriously: "We four have known each other for a long time, why not take this opportunity to become sworn brothers?"

  "Brotherhood is stronger than gold!"

  Huo Feng was shocked for a moment, then his face lit up with excitement as he exclaimed: "Great! Great!"

  Mo Tian smiled slightly at Huo Feng, then looked at Wang Zhan and asked: "Wang big brother, what do you think?"

  Wang Zhan heard this and couldn't help but smile: "Mo Tian, you've said what I was going to say!"

  Mo Tian burst out laughing and turned his head to look at Ye Chen, continuing to ask: "Ye Chen?"

  Ye Chen did not hastily respond to everyone, but instead looked deeply at the three of them and asked in a soft voice: "What is brotherhood?"

  Listening to Ye Chen's question, the three of them were stunned. Ah, they really hadn't thought about this issue before. The three fell into deep thought because of Ye Chen's words.

  Shen Xian glanced at Mu Bing and whispered in her ear: "Let's retreat for now!"

  Mù Bīng nodded in agreement, knowing that she and Shěn Xiāo were somewhat out of place here at this time.

  Time passed minute by minute and second by second, and everyone's eyebrows were still tightly furrowed.

  Brothers are for life, it's not just a simple phrase!

  A moment later, Wang Zhan suddenly looked up at everyone and said firmly: "Life and death are entrusted to each other!"

  Mo Tian also raised his head and looked at everyone, saying firmly: "Good fortune and misfortune are intertwined!"

  Huo Feng followed closely behind, looking at everyone with determination and said: "Through thick and thin!"

  Ye Chen listened to the three of them and his eyes also showed a firm expression as he said: "Together through thick and thin!"

  Through thick and thin, in good times and bad, sharing weal and woe!

  Sixteen words spoken from four people's mouths, yet it triggered wave after wave of resonance!

  Just then, a slovenly dressed young man walked over and shouted at Ye Chen: "Ye Chen! I've finally found you!"

  Upon hearing this, all four of them simultaneously turned their heads towards the direction where the voice came from.

  Ye Chen looked at the young man and smiled happily: "Wu Xin!"

  The newcomer was precisely Zhuge Wu Xin who provided medicine for Ye Chen!

  Ye Chen hastily ran over and said to Zhuge Wu Xin: "How did you come! Just in time, sit down and have a drink!"

  Zhuge Wu Xin smiled slightly and said softly: "No, I'm here to deliver medicine for you!"

  Immediately, Zhuge Wu Xin took out a package from his pocket and handed it directly to Ye Chen. He turned around and was about to leave. He understood that the people sitting there were all Ye Chen's good friends, and as someone with low cultivation, he would only feel uncomfortable there. His cheap self-esteem made Zhuge Wu Xin feel a wave of shame.

  "Zhuge, stop! Wait for me!"

  Ye Chen hastily shouted and directly went forward to grab Zhuge Wu Xin's arm.

  Zhuge was taken aback for a moment, then said: "What are you doing!"

  Ye Chen smiled slightly and ignored Zhuge Wu Xin, directly pulling him back.

  Ye Chen said to everyone: "This is Zhuge's unintentional move, I think you all should know what he's up to!"

  The three of them nodded slightly.

  Ye Chen glanced at Zhuge Wu Xin and then said to the crowd: "I've just met him, last time I was late for a mission, he followed Mo Tian to help me reason, you know his cultivation, even if a San Chong fragment body wants to fight him, it's not necessarily win!"

  Zhuge carelessly glanced at Ye Chen and frowned: "Ye Chen, what are you doing?"

  Ye Chen didn't respond to him, but Wang Zhan and the others understood Ye Chen's intention. He wanted to pull Zhuge Wu Xin into their group.

  Wang Zhan looked at Zhuge Wu Xin and smiled slightly: "This is called sharing weal and woe!"

  Mo Tian and Huo Feng nodded in unison, looking at Zhuge Wu Xin with approval.

  "What does it mean?" Zhuge said, somewhat stunned and bewildered.

  Ye Chen smiled slightly and said to Zhuge Wu Xin: "Wu Xin, today we are going to swear an oath of brotherhood, are you willing?"

  "What's the meaning of this?" Zhuge Wu Xin was taken aback for a moment, and his eyes instantly dimmed. Although he usually seemed careless, his self-esteem was stronger than anyone else's; otherwise, he wouldn't have hurriedly wanted to leave as soon as he saw Ye Chen and others drinking here.

  Then, Zhuge involuntarily sneered and laughed: "With me? I'm a cultivator with four broken bodies, can't even beat one with three, after so many years of cultivation, nothing has been achieved, relying only on this nose to stay in Lianyun Sect!"

  Wang Zhan slightly shook his head and walked to the side of Zhuge Wu Xin, firmly saying: "Brothers are bound by life and death, fortune and misfortune, shared hardships and joys! It's not about evaluating each other based on cultivation!"

  Huo Feng smiled and said to Zhuge Wu Xin: "You won't despise us for this, will you?"

  Zhuge shook his head hastily.

  Ye Chen smiled slightly and said loudly: "Good!" Then, his eyes stared tightly at Wang Zhan.

  Wang Zhan smiled slightly and turned around to kneel down on the ground facing the sky, shouting loudly at the sky: "I am Wang Zhan, 21 years old this year!"

  Mo Tian smiled slightly and followed closely behind, kneeling behind Wang Zhan. He shouted loudly towards the sky: "I'm Mo Tian, 20 years old this year!"

  Huo Feng also knelt down on the ground and shouted loudly towards the sky: "I'm Huo Feng, 20 years old this year!"

  Ye Chen patted Zuo Wu Xin and also knelt down behind the three, shouting at the sky with a domineering air: "I am Ye Chen, eighteen years old this year!"

  However, from Ye Chen's roar, it can be heard that Ye Chen has no respect for the heavens he worships!

  Zhuge Wu Xin took a deep breath and stared blankly at the crowd, his eyes welling up with tears. He was deeply moved, and with another deep breath, he followed behind the crowd, as if to vent his grievances. Facing the vast sky, he shouted loudly: "I am Zhuge Wu Xin, 19 years old this year!"

  "We five people form an alliance of sworn brothers here, from now on we will share life and death, fortune and misfortune, hardships and difficulties, joys and sorrows!"

  A thunderous shout burst forth from the mouths of the five...
