Be Passive In The High Martial World

Chapter 47: Is he really a senior brother?!

"Splash..."

The sound of water surrounded them from all sides, incessantly flowing.

A lone boat drifted aimlessly on the wide river, as if it had no destination.

Amidst the mist, only faint flickering fishing lights could be seen.

Chen Kuang, who had just been pulled out of the water onto the boat, spat out two mouthfuls of water. He was dripping wet and stared intently at the mysterious straw-hat fisherman in front of him.

Only when he got closer did he realize that this fisherman actually only had a human-like silhouette.

Underneath the bamboo hat and straw raincoat, there wriggled a body that was not something a human could possess, whether it was the six arms of different sizes or the long fish tail swaying below.

Of course, the most terrifying thing was the densely packed, egg-like dead white fish eyes beneath the bamboo hat.

The largest fish eye turned and looked at Chen Kuang.

This was the first time Chen Kuang directly faced a monster from this world.

Goosebumps formed on his arms, not because of the cold, but because he saw something completely different from himself.

However, his "Impulsive Premonition" did not sound the alarm temporarily, indicating that the other party did not have any malicious intent.

This should be the Great Monster on Wen Si's boat.

As rumored, as long as you answer its questions, it won't do anything to you until you answer incorrectly.

--Even if you don't answer at all, it's fine, but it won't let you leave either. On this lonely boat, a normal person would starve to death before long.

Chen Kuang breathed a sigh of relief, but then he heard the angry voices of Wei Yan and Zhao Lie chasing after them.

"Boom!"

Another slash, as fast as lightning.

Zhao Lie's ultimate skill, the Wind-Splitting Blade!

Chen Kuang had already experienced the power of this slash before. It was fierce and domineering, unavoidable. When the blade light fell before his eyes, his life force had already been severed.

But this slash didn't land on the boat.

The surrounding water was blasted apart by a powerful force, and the small boat rocked violently, but it remained unharmed.

At this moment, Chen Kuang couldn't judge whether Zhao Lie's slash was simply venting his anger or if the fisherman had blocked the attack...

However, based on common sense, it should be the former.

Although Zhao Lie was impulsive, he wasn't brainless.

This Wen Si's boat was a true Grandmaster Great Monster. Although it wouldn't take the initiative to attack, it didn't mean it wouldn't retaliate.

Zhao Lie roared in anger, "How dare you deceive us?!"

At the same time, he was somewhat incredulous, "You said so much nonsense just to make us bring you here, to board this Wen Si's boat?!"

In Zhao Lie's eyes, Chen Kuang's behavior was completely meaningless.

He had just gone from the wolf's den to the tiger's lair. This Wen Si's boat wasn't a pleasure boat that anyone could board. If you couldn't answer the questions, death was the only outcome.

Could it be that he was only doing it for the sake of his dignity, not wanting to die at their hands?

Was this person some kind of rotten scholar?!

Or did he simply develop hysteria because of the destruction of his country?

Thinking of how he had believed the other party's nonsense earlier, Zhao Lie felt like banging his head against a wall!

But Chen Kuang wasn't afraid of him at the moment. He smiled and spread his hands, saying, "How could I deceive the two elders? Didn't my 'senior brother' come to pick me up? We're in the same boat, isn't that like brothers?"

Zhao Lie was burning with anger and couldn't help but vent.

However, Wei Yan had already sensed that something was wrong and quickly reached out to stop Zhao Lie, saying, "Wait!"

"Gurgle..."

The fish eyes of the straw-hat fisherman slowly turned, staring at the two figures floating in the air.

In an instant, both of them felt a chilling sense of danger.

The aura of a Grandmaster level pressed down on them like a massive mountain, making it hard to breathe.

The waves around them instantly calmed down, and the small boat stopped in the middle of the water.

"Boom!"

And from the bottomless river below, a large amount of water suddenly surged, and a long fish with bone spurs all over its body leaped out, opening its mouth full of snow-white sharp teeth and instantly swallowing Zhao Lie, who couldn't react in time, before disappearing into the water, leaving behind a trail of dark water.

Only Wei Yan remained motionless, unable to even move a finger.

Chen Kuang's pupils contracted, not expecting Wen Si Zhou, who shouldn't have taken the initiative, to directly eat Zhao Lie...

Could it be that this Great Monster is in a bad mood today?

The fisherman in a straw raincoat spoke, "Leave."

Wei Yan took a deep breath, looked at Chen Kuang with a stern face, and turned to leave.

Chen Kuang raised an eyebrow, well, at least his goal has been achieved.

He had already prepared how to deal with these two if they intended to follow him all the way, how to repeat the "Two Peaches Kill Three Warriors" scenario.

After all, these two have opposite personalities, and Wei Yan had revealed a clue when he was tested, making it not difficult to sow discord.

It's also good, saves some effort.

The river began to flow again, and the small boat slowly sailed through the mist.

The fisherman in a straw raincoat looked at Chen Kuang again and repeated, "Three questions."

"If you answer correctly, you can leave."

Chen Kuang felt that there was indeed no danger and didn't answer immediately. Instead, he took the qin off his back.

Although he was soaked all over, the qin was completely dry, showing its extraordinary nature.

The fisherman in a straw raincoat saw the qin and his body suddenly trembled slightly. The small eyes under the bamboo hat moved restlessly, showing some uneasiness.

This trembling was barely noticeable, coupled with its constant wriggling, making it even harder to detect.

Chen Kuang lowered his head to look at the qin, but he didn't notice.

He put down the qin, cleared his throat, looked at the fisherman, and cautiously asked, "May I ask... how should I address you, senior?"

A demon with spiritual intelligence can naturally be called a cultivator.

However, orthodox cultivators are proud and can only be called seniors if they have never done evil and have a noble and bright essence.

Others are just monsters.

But Chen Kuang didn't care about these rules. When it was time to flatter, he had to put on a brave face.

The fisherman in a straw raincoat paused, seemingly shocked by his shamelessness. After a while, he slowly said, "Not senior."

Chen Kuang blinked, "Ah? Um... if senior doesn't like that title, can I change it?"

The fish eyes of the fisherman in a straw raincoat looked at him, and it murmured, "Senior brother."

Chen Kuang was stunned, dumbfounded.

What's going on?

He was just casually saying it, how did he end up with a senior brother for nothing?!

He cautiously asked, "Senior, is your name... senior brother?"

The fisherman in a straw raincoat shook his head, and in its originally dead fish eyes, there was a hint of helplessness that made one feel like they were looking at a fool.

"I am called Wen Si."

Its countless eyes turned around, and it looked at the ancient qin on the deck as if confirming something.

It continued, "Senior brother, you said it, I am your senior brother."

"?"

Chen Kuang was full of question marks.

Could it be that this Great Monster is also like Huang Pizi, needing to be flattered?

Say what it is, and it becomes what it is?

But now the other party is steering the boat, so naturally he has to go along with it.

Chen Kuang hesitated for a moment, went with the flow, and obediently said, "Hello, Senior Brother Wen Si."

The fisherman in a straw raincoat was satisfied this time, nodded, and said, "Listen carefully, here are the questions."

Chen Kuang immediately became serious, ready for anything.

No matter why this Great Monster suddenly wanted to be his senior brother, this was the main topic!
