Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 56: Pine Forest Oath
Guan Yu and others looked at Liu He, and Liu He nodded, and they retreated to both sides as instructed.

“Hmph hum…”

Although this wild boar does not seem to be a full-grown adult, it weighs at least 500 kilograms. Moreover, it is focused on escaping and is even stronger.

Even though Zhu Ye was quite strong, he was still dragged more than ten steps by it, and his feet left two deep marks on the ground.

"Brother, be careful! Don't hold on!" Zhang Yong couldn't help but remind him.

Zhu Ye thought of what he had sworn to do. If he let the wild boar escape now, even if his brothers didn't care, how would he have the face to brag in the future?

Thinking of this, Zhu Ye became anxious, took a deep breath, exerted force on his lower body, and shouted "Hey!"

The horse stance skills and waist strength that Zhu Ye had practiced for many years were finally fully released at this moment. Zhu Ye's feet grasped the ground tightly, and the wild boar could not move forward at all.

"Hmm..." Zhu Ye groaned, his cheeks flushed and veins bulged. He exerted force with his hands and actually threw the wild boar three or four steps to the right, directly knocking down a pine tree as thick as a bowl.

"Grunt... Grunt..." It seemed that the wild boar was finally seriously injured. It lay on the ground, groaning weakly, unable to stand up and run away.

"Let's see if you die!"

Zhu Ye rushed forward, swung his huge fist, and smashed it hard on the wild boar's head again and again.

After a few screams, the wild boar finally stopped moving.

"Okay, Brother Zhu, you've already killed this beast. If you smash it again, the meat won't be edible. Haha."

Liu He walked up and grabbed his hand that was still waving the stone. If he didn't stop him now, Zhu Ye might really overexert himself and might not even be able to lift chopsticks for the next few days.

"Hahaha, Brother Zhu, you fought a wild boar alone, and you were unharmed, but the wild boar was killed by you. You are so brave, comparable to Fan Kuai under the command of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty!"

Guan Yu gave Zhu Ye a thumbs up.

As a fierce general under Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang, Fan Kuai was one of the idols in the hearts of all brave generals during the Han Dynasty. Being praised like this, Zhu Ye's face, which had just turned red, suddenly smiled.

"Hehe, thank you for the compliment! It's just a beast. Even if there is another one, I can still beat it to death!"

At this moment, there was another rustling sound from the grass not far away, and Zhu Ye cried out "Ouch" and almost jumped up.

"Swoosh!" Ye Xiang shot an arrow, then ran over and picked up a hare from the ground.

"Brother Zhu, it's just a rabbit, don't be afraid."

Zhu Ye blushed again when Ye Xiang said this.

"Who... who said I was scared..."

Everyone burst into laughter, and Zhu Ye was so ashamed that he wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

"Alright, alright. Brother Zhu was very brave in fighting the wild boar today. It's worth celebrating!"

Liu He patted Zhu Ye on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Hey, brother, I have an idea."

Zhu Ye said with a smile.

Several people looked at him, not knowing what he wanted to say.

"Hey, you see, we have been brothers for several years, and our friendship is extraordinary. Although we are not blood brothers, we are better than blood brothers. Since everyone wants to celebrate for me today, I have an unwelcome request."

Guan Yu and others were somewhat puzzled by what they heard, but Liu He seemed to have guessed something.

"Hehe, brothers, if you don't mind that I, Zhu Ye, am stupid, I would like to become sworn brothers with you all. I'll use these wild beasts we hunted today as a sacrificial offering and we can become sworn brothers here. How about it?" When Zhu Ye said this, several people were extremely happy.

"Okay, Brother Zhu, this is a good idea. I have had this idea for a long time. I have known you for so long, and this is the most reliable idea. Haha."

Cheng Liang is a straightforward and generous person, and he was the first to agree at this time.

"Good idea, good idea, let's do it!"

"It's my great honor!"

Several people smiled happily, put some prey on the ground, rubbed a handful of soil, and knelt down, but Ye Xiang was the only one who did not kneel down.

"Hey? Xiangzi, why don't you kneel down? Do you look down on me, Zhu, and don't want to be my brother?"

Zhu Ye said this with some displeasure, and Liu He and others looked at him in confusion.

Ye Xiang waved his hands and explained: "No, no, my brothers are much better than me in martial arts and knowledge. I am really not worthy of you. I am willing to recognize you as my master and serve you as a master and apprentice. I really don't dare to be sworn brothers!"

Zhu Ye became unhappy when he heard this, and stood up and grabbed Ye Xiang.

"You are such a wretch, what's the point of marrying up to someone higher than you? The king of heaven is just a little higher than us. If I'm not happy, I won't even marry him."

Several other people also spoke out to persuade him.

"Yes, although your martial arts are not as good as ours, but you are proficient in archery. We are not as good as you. Everyone has his or her own strengths. Don't be modest, brother."

But Ye Xiang knelt down directly and kowtowed to several people.

"My dear brothers, you saved my life and taught me martial arts. I, Tiedan, have no way to repay you. I dare not call you brothers. I just hope that you will not despise me and accept me as your disciple. This will be the good deed of my Ye family ancestors!"

Seeing how sincere he was, they stopped blaming him and Zhu Ye calmed down.

"Well, since you are so sincere, I will accept you as my apprentice today."

Liu He stepped forward, helped Ye Xiang up, and said while looking at him.

Ye Xiang was overjoyed when he heard this. He knelt down again and kowtowed three times to Liu He.

"Disciple Ye Xiang greets Master!"

Liu He helped him up again and said solemnly: "Forget the title of Master. You and I are actually master and disciple, but we should call each other brothers on weekdays. Otherwise, wouldn't it make me sound old? Haha!"

"Yes, disciple...I obey your command!"

Ye Xiang wiped away his tears and spoke excitedly.

This was a good development for Zhu Ye and the others. They relaxed their brows and knelt down again with Liu He.

"Heaven above, Hou Tu below, I, Liu He/Zhang Yong/Zhu Ye/Guan Yu/Cheng Liang, hereby become brothers today. We will share happiness and hardship together, support each other, and never leave each other. We do not ask to be born on the same day, month, and year, but we ask to die on the same day! If you violate this oath, both heaven and man will kill you!"

The five of them kowtowed three times to heaven and earth before standing up.

Among the five, Liu He was originally the youngest, but everyone insisted on respecting Liu He as the eldest brother. Guan Yu and Cheng Liang were the same age, both four years older than Liu He, but Guan Yu was born earlier, so he was ranked as the second brother, Cheng Liang was the third, Zhang Yong was the fourth, and Zhu Ye was the youngest, being the fifth brother.

"There is no happier day in my life than today! Hahaha!"

Several people hugged each other and laughed, feeling extremely happy.

Liu He was just feeling happy when the system prompt sounded again.
