Chapter 166 Laughing Until Spitting Blood?!
At this moment, the scene was somewhat silent.
Zhang Yuanshan looked somewhat uneasily at the unfamiliar Chain Qi Stage cultivators bowing before him.
He quickly glanced sideways at Li Xingtian, sending a look—what... does this mean?
Could it be that this time he wasn't here for treatment, but to join your esteemed sect?
He hadn't even met the person yet, and was already calling him martial brother?
Li Xingtian's hand, which was about to take out the gifts, was now somewhat frozen.
Ning Qianqian quickly assessed the situation and coughed heavily.
Cui Hao looked up at Ning Qianqian, only to see her frowning tightly, her two eyes frantically gesturing towards Li Xingtian at her side.
Hm?!
This... mistook the martial brother?!
Cui Hao's feet turned slightly, the direction of his cupped hands originally towards Zhang Yuanshan seamlessly shifting to target the somewhat embarrassed Li Xingtian beside him.
Lin Luoyu's skin was far from being as thick as a city wall like Cui Hao's; she couldn't be like Cui Hao, who treated face as if it were nothing.
She could only straighten up, give an embarrassed smile towards Zhang Yuanshan, and then bow to Li Xingtian beside her.
Lin Luoyu said with a slightly embarrassed tone: "Second Martial Brother... I am your Fourth Martial Sister."
Hearing the movement beside him, Cui Hao's expression was normal, as if it were only Lin Luoyu who had just bowed to the wrong person.
He said calmly: "Second Martial Brother, I am your Fifth Martial Brother, named Cui Hao. If there is any discourtesy, please forgive me."
Li Xingtian glanced at Cui Hao. Based on that person's incredibly smooth operation in just a few breaths...
He now had some understanding of what kind of character this Fifth Martial Brother was.
However, the hand that was stuck in the spatial ring could finally be taken out.
Li Xingtian took out some magic treasures and items obtained from the secret realm and gave them to the two.
He took a deep breath and said: "This is our first meeting. Your martial brother is giving you some small gifts."
Cui Hao quickly reached out to take the magic treasures and items. One does not refuse a gift from an elder; accepting the gift now was an affirmation of his Second Martial Brother.
Lin Luoyu could not hide the embarrassment on her face as she accepted the items Li Xingtian handed over.
Looking at the two Chain Qi Stage cultivators before him, Li Xingtian nodded lightly.
Cui Hao carefully sized up Li Xingtian. He had been too quick to believe Eldest Martial Sister's words.
In Eldest Martial Sister's eyes, besides Master, everyone else was very likely a fool.
This Second Martial Brother, with his calm, killing intent, how could he look like a fool? He was more like a White Xuan Spirit who would kill at the slightest disagreement...
Zhang Yuanshan, who was to the side, had now caught on and understood the situation.
This Brother Li, how did he get along with his sect like an outsider? Not being recognized was one thing, but how could there be a case of mistaken identity?
This is the deep master-disciple bond that Brother Li spoke of?
But then Zhang Yuanshan had a thought and found an excuse for Li Xingtian—a deep master-disciple bond isn't the same as a deep bond between fellow sect members.
These two are good in their own ways, so there's no conflict!
But at this thought, Zhang Yuanshan could hardly contain his laughter.
Chapter 166 Laughing Until Spitting Blood?!
Especially looking at Li Xingtian's face, which was always calm under any circumstances, now it showed a somewhat unspeakable embarrassment.
It was truly hilarious! Brother Li!
He tried his best to hold back his laughter. After all, it would be incredibly rude to laugh out loud at this moment.
This young man was probably fine; his face seemed quite thick.
But this little girl whose earlobes were already a bit red would probably turn red on the spot.
Lin Luoyu looked at Cui Hao beside her, whose expression was natural, and felt she had been outshone by her junior brother. His words were pleasant, and he even said his own name.
She, on the other hand, had only said she was the Fourth Martial Sister.
Lin Luoyu thought for a moment, then, suppressing the shame in her heart, she spoke: "Second Martial Brother, my name is Lin Luoyu. I entered the sect a few days ago. I hope for your guidance, Second Martial Brother."
Li Xingtian quickly forced a smile and nodded. He had little experience with sect matters, and now his own junior brother and sister had introduced themselves by name.
He then remembered his master's somewhat lazy and casual personality. He estimated that his master probably hadn't even told them his name.
Li Xingtian understood that he looked difficult to approach. After all, even the well-behaved Xiao Baiqing in the sect would occasionally show an expression of "I'm scared of you."
At this moment, the sect felt more like a warm home to him, and Lin Luoyu and Cui Hao were more like his own younger brother and sister.
He didn't want to appear strong or authoritative; that was for outsiders.
Li Xingtian took a deep breath and also said with some embarrassment:
"I... am Li Xingtian, your Second Martial Brother."
Zhang Yuanshan watched as Li Xingtian's eyes suddenly closed. He clearly saw that the roots of Li Xingtian's ears seemed to have turned a little red!
That was Li Xingtian!
Especially in this kind of situation, this sense of contrast was simply too laughable.
Zhang Yuanshan, who had originally planned to close his eyes to calm his mood and avoid really laughing out loud, closed his eyes, only for Li Xingtian's embarrassed expression to reappear in his mind.
People often recall what they don't want to recall.
It works best when you close your eyes!
Zhang Yuanshan really couldn't hold it in and burst into hearty laughter, slapping Li Xingtian's shoulder beside him as he laughed.
The laughter was extremely wild.
It made Lin Luoyu's ears turn completely red, and it made Li Xingtian put on a pained expression.
This laughter was as piercing as the laughter his master had when he asked why he was reborn before he left!
Ning Qianqian's expression was slightly embarrassed. In the scene, only Cui Hao remained calm and composed, like a fisherman waiting for a catch.
Cui Hao, who had been caught for his drawing side-hustle, thought—what's the big deal about this?
But soon, Cui Hao's expression could no longer remain composed.
He saw Zhang Yuanshan, while laughing, suddenly start to violently spit out a large mouthful of blood.
Cui Hao looked at this person with a slightly horrified gaze.
Is it really that funny?
He laughed so hard he's spitting blood?!
