Whoosh!

Crack!

An Long dodged swiftly, and Xing Fei's leg chopped down on the dining table, splitting it into two halves.

Crack! Crack!

A loud bone-grinding noise resounded as Mengte De'er smirked coldly at An Long, "I've wanted to beat you up for a long time! Daring to say you'd sell Fei'er off to warm someone's bed, if I don't beat the shit out of you today, then don't call me Mengte De'er!"

Whoosh!

Gale Winds whipped up all around the private room as Mengte De'er shifted.

"Hey! Don't push me!" An Long dodged left and right.

An Long's practical experience was extremely rich, but no matter how strong his experience was, it wasn't stronger than Xing Fei and the others, who had been fighting life-and-death battles since they were young!

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Crack!

"Ouch!"

Sounds of beating and screams filled the room, quickly turning the room into a mess.

Jiang Chen watched, amused, and then softly instructed Xuan Long, "Go talk to the hotel."

Xuan Long nodded, smiled as he glanced at An Long, and then turned to walk out of the private room.

"Damn it, can you two not hit the face? I'm not playing with you guys anymore!" An Long shouted, exasperated, and took the opportunity to dash out as Xuan Long opened the door.

Whoosh!

Bang!

A figure suddenly appeared at the door and kicked An Long hard in the stomach.

"Brother Hu, you…"

An Long flew backward, opening his mouth to roar in anger.

Bang!

Plomp!

Xing Fei's leg came crashing down on An Long's back, sending him sprawling to the ground.

Plomp!

"Oh my god!"

A heavy thud sounded as Mengte De'er sat down on An Long's back, prompting a miserable cry from An Long, "Mengte De'er, you're crushing me to death, get off!"

"Hehe, weren't you the one who wanted to send Fei'er to warm someone else's bed? Use me as a cushion first!" Mengte De'er said as he wiggled around a bit.

"Damn it, stop moving, I'm about to break my bones!" An Long cried out, looking up bitterly at Yan Hu, "Brother Hu, why are you helping them too?"

"Who asked you to pick us up in that broken pickup? You almost crushed me to death!" Yan Hu shut the door of the private room and glared at An Long, saying irritably.

"I..." An Long instantly felt the frustration of a mute who has tasted a bitter herb.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Mengte De'er and Xing Fei began to surround An Long and pummel him mercilessly; An Long hugged his head, screaming continuously.

"This…" Li Wuji and Zhang Wushang were stunned.

Click!

The door to the private room opened, and Xuan Long walked in, glanced at An Long who was getting beaten on the floor, and said with schadenfreude, "Caught, huh? Serves you right!"

"Brother Long, you're not helping me either!" An Long looked at Xuan Long bitterly.

Bang!

A dull thud, Xing Fei punched An Long right on the eye socket.

"Ouch! Snake Woman, you're too cruel! Are you trying to ruin my devastatingly handsome face?" An Long cursed out loud.

"Ugh!" Jiang Chen dry heaved and fiercely said, "You bastard, you almost made me throw up my meal. Fei'er, Mengte De'er, put more effort into it!"

"Yes, big brother!"

"Yes, Mr. Jiang!"

Xing Fei and the other enthusiastically responded and fought even harder.

"Young Master, I was wrong! Ouch! Don't hit the face!" An Long cried out more desperately.

"Xuan Long, this…" Li Wuji glanced at Jiang Chen and turned to Xuan Long with a puzzled face.

Xuan Long smiled faintly, "Feels unbelievable, doesn't it? Have you ever considered when was the last time you horsed around with your brothers like this?"

"This… The last time I messed around like that was when I was only at the Yellow Level." Li Wuji thought for a moment and spoke softly.

Zhang Wushang nodded, "I think it was around the Yellow Level for me too, can't quite remember clearly!"

"How did it feel back then?" Jiang Chen asked softly.

"It felt... like there were no barriers between us, we could play or mess around whenever we wanted!" Zhang Wushang pondered for a moment and quietly responded.

"And now?" Jiang Chen asked again.

Without any hesitation, Li Wuji answered, "What's there to mess around with now? We are all Semi Venerables now. Not to mention nowadays, even if we reached the Profound Level, we wouldn't act like that; it would be beneath our dignity!"

"Beneath our dignity?"

Jiang Chen looked meaningfully at Li Wuji, "What dignity? What dignity do we have in front of our own brothers? When your strength was low, you were brothers, you could play pranks on each other; when your strength became great, did you start despising those brothers with less strength? Did you start to think you were noble?"

"Have you ever thought, when you think like that, do those people still consider you as brothers?"

Jiang Chen spoke indifferently, his words were not loud, but they were exceedingly serious, "What is a brother? A brother is someone who would take a knife for you in adversity, someone you can joke and tussle with in normal times; that is what makes a brother!"

"If you become strong and even your former brothers must treat you with utmost respect, it's not that they aren't worthy to be your brothers, but you aren't worthy to be their brothers."

"Because it was you who trampled on the brotherly loyalty first, just for that so-called dignity of the strong, for those pretentious things, you gave up the brotherly bonds among yourselves. Do you think what you did was right?"

Having said that, Jiang Chen looked sternly at Li Wuji and the other, eyebrows slightly raised, commanding respect without anger.

And his words struck their hearts with weight.

Suddenly, both of them were stunned.

Their hearts were severely shaken!

"It's not that they aren't worthy to be my brothers, it's that I'm not worthy to be their brother! Was it I who trampled on the brotherly affection?!"

Li Wuji and the other muttered softly, repeating Jiang Chen's words.

Suddenly, their faces turned a deep red, burning hot.

Afterwards, they were at a loss for words, shadows flickering through their minds.

Those brothers who had fought by their side, as their own strength increased, now, the distance between them had grown larger, leaving only the two of them as friends because their strength matched; they could still talk to each other!

But if one day, the gap in their strength widens, wouldn't they drift further apart, becoming strangers?

Thinking of this, they couldn't help but look at each other.

Both saw shame in the other's eyes.

"Being powerful doesn't mean you can step on your brothers; those with such thoughts don't deserve to have brothers!"

At that moment, Jiang Chen spoke again:

"Men can have pride, the strong have their airs. But towards brothers, we must never be arrogant."

"Because we have faced dangers together, we have experienced life and death together."

"How can we forget this loyalty and righteousness just because our strength has increased?"

"Perhaps, some of us may reach the pinnacle of this world. But if you look back and find no brothers by your side, is that joy? No, that is sorrow!"

"Therefore, once a brother, always a brother!"

At this point, Jiang Chen's expression became stern, and he waved his hand:

"If one day I, Jiang Chen, reach the summit of this world, I wish to bring my brothers along to experience the beauty of this peak!"
