le despite being so young.
He ’s bold and insightful.
He has knowledge and wisdom.
And, he can adapt to any kind of situation.
I had seen such a young hero for the first time in my life.
Nobody is a match for him… not even the young geniuses of the nine great clans of the Upper Three Heavens… ”

However, Chu Fei Ling noticed that something was off while saying this.

[How come my wife has such a weird expression on her face today…]

He had mentioned about this matter before, and Yang Ruo Lan had listened to him attentively with a smile.
But, she had done so somewhat half-heartedly.
After all, she hadn ’t met the man in person.
However, it was different today.
Yang Ruo Lan ’s lips were happily curved in satisfaction.
In fact, she was listening to him bragging about his Sworn Brother as if it was worth hearing a hundred times over.

Those exaggerated adjectives were making her listen with sparkling eyes.
It seemed that she wanted to listen more and more about him… she had an expression of everlasting curiosity on her face.

Moreover, she also seemed to have an expression of pride on her face…

”Is that it? ” Yang Ruo Lan wanted him to go on.
She said, ”Just that much…? ”

Chu Fei Ling became confused.
He stretched his hand to touch his wife ’s forehead, ”Are… Are you all right, today? ”

Smack!

Yang Ruo Lan knocked his hand away and said, ”Do you have anything else to tell? ”


”No. ”

”You don ’t? ” A vigor somewhat flared up in Yang Ruo Lan ’s eyes, ”You and your Sworn Brother travelled together for several days.
You two faced life-and-death situations together.
You killed powerful enemies together.
Your Sworn Brother gave you so many good items.
You two bonded for such a long time.
And, you didn ’t have some random conversations? ”

”Conversations…? ” Chu Fei Ling was confused, ”What kind of conversations? ”

”How would I know what kind of conversations you had? What did you say? What did he say? Tell me about his facial expressions, his gestures, and so on… don ’t miss anything. ”

”My God! ” Chu Fei Ling jumped up, ”How can I possibly remember all of that? It ’s been such a long time.
Even a god wouldn ’t have been able to remember, okay? Moreover, what is the point of this investigation of yours? My Sworn Brother is a man. ”

”The gods would obviously be able to remember, okay? And, who asked you if he was a man or a woman? Do you think that I have enough free time to be jealous? ” Yang Ruo Lan glare turned dangerous, ”Could it be that you ’ve forgotten everything? That poor child did so many favors for you.
How can you be so forgetful? ”

”Alright… alright; let me think… ” Chu Fei Ling raised his hands in surrender.
He couldn ’t even force a smile in his heart.
[Poor child…? What child… He ’s my Sworn Brother.
You can ’t call him that even though you ’re his big sister-in-law… you ’re messing up the hierarchy of our relations.]

[It ’s messed up!]

But, how could he dare to say these words in front of his wife?

”Let me remind you… ” Yang Ruo Lan saw that her husband was telling the story half-heartedly.
She said, ”When you and your Sworn Brother became ’Sworn Brothers ’… was he very ecstatic? Or, so to say… did you two happen to agree upon it by chance? ”

”Neither! ” Chu Fei Ling remembered, ”That boy had seemed terrified at that time.
In fact, he was stuttering while speaking.
Ha ha… I was somewhat aggressive when I mentioned about it.
It ’s no wonder that he couldn ’t accept it at first… ”

[He was terrified? He stuttered? You ’re a jerk!]

Yang Ruo Lan maliciously cussed at him in her heart.
Then, she hastily asked, ”You still remember the whole situation of that time, right? ”

”Of course, I do! ” Chu Fei Ling smiled and said, ”I had said to him at that time — we rarely come across someone we get along so well with.
How about we two become Sworn Brothers? Then, my little brother was startled… ha ha ha… That guy told me that I was an older man.
Then, I subjugated him by saying — could it be that you look down on me? ’ Ha ha… Therefore, he didn ’t get a way out of it… ”

Then, Chu Fei Ling told her about the situation of that time while making gestures.
This had left a deep impression in his heart.
How could he forget that he had basically half-forced the other person into swearing brotherhood with him?

”So in this way… Ahem, I almost pressed his head to tap the ground in kowtow until the oath was taken.
That guy looked as if he was in a dream… his complexion was also ugly… No, it was like an everlasting look of surprise.
Um, yes, yes.
That was it. ”


Chu Fei Ling recalled his Sworn Brother ’s dazed expression.
And, he couldn ’t help but laugh out loud.

Yang Ruo Lan face-palmed while deeply sighing in her heart.

[His complexion was ugly? He was in a daze…? His own father forced him to swear brotherhood with him! How could his complexion be pleasant? You would perhaps have become muddled-headed long ago… if you had been in his place…]

[No, no, no.
You were already muddle-headed!]

Yang Ruo Lan had better died if she hadn ’t been sure that it was her son even after hearing till here.
She couldn ’t help but feel pity as she looked at the expression in her husband ’s eyes… [This pitiful man… he says that his Sworn Brother was in a dream… But, the fact is that he was the one in a dream…]

”And then? ” Yang Ruo Lan asked, ”You two must ’ve chatted endlessly after swearing brotherhood, right? ”

”Yes, ” Chu Fei Ling sighed and said, ”You know about our past, and how it has always pressed my heart like a mountain… It leaves me incapable of breathing.
I can ’t dare to talk about it… not in my in-laws ’ home or even in my own home… And, especially not in front of you… Well, I obviously felt that I must tell about all of many sufferings to my brother… On that day… we talked about that stormy night eighteen years ago… I also talked about our lifelong regret of losing our son… ”

Yang Ruo Lan suddenly interrupted him, and grabbed his wrist.
A ’ka-ka ’ sound came from the wrist-bone that she had clutched, and Chu Fei Ling felt his wrist-bone aching.
He was obviously somewhat startled by this.
So, he raised his face and looked.
He saw that his wife ’s pupil had expanded wide.
Then, Yang Ruo Lan anxiously asked, ”You told him about that night? You told him… about what happened on the night we lost our child? Huh? ”
