Watch out! Something's wrong with this guard.

Chapter 127 My Little Brother Hong Yi

Upon hearing his second brother's words, Lu Yunshi carried the prepared dishes to the round table that had been set up beforehand, put the dishes down, and then patted his second brother on the shoulder.

"Does that mean you're giving up on challenging my position so easily, second brother?"

"Of course not," Xiao He shrugged and answered decisively.

"Then let's try our best." Lu Yunshi smiled and returned to the earthen stove.

There were ten siblings in total. Most of them were lured in by Lu Yunshi after he took a liking to them, and then he slowly devised ways to win their loyalty.

Only the second son was a tough nut to crack; he wasn't fooled by his own words and ended up being beaten into becoming his own younger brother.

However, Lu Yunshi also used some clever tricks at the time. After all, Xiao He was much stronger than Lu Yunshi back then. So Lu Yunshi tried to get the other party to agree that neither of them would use their qi and blood, and they would only fight with their physical skills. In the end, Lu Yunshi naturally won by a narrow margin and became the eldest brother.

However, Xiao He never gave up on the idea of ​​winning once to escape the second-place status. But in every battle after that, he and Lu Yunshi fought purely with physical skills. Without using his qi and blood, Xiao He never won once, and he lost faster and faster. Lu Yunshi went from narrowly winning at the beginning to becoming more and more relaxed later on.

In the end, Xiao He could only willingly become the second-in-command, helping Lu Yunshi solve some troublesome matters from all around him.

After that, Xiao He went up the mountain, and the two stopped fighting.

However, Lu Yunshi understood Xiao He's personality. What he said about betrayal was just a joke. If Xiao He couldn't defeat him on the same level, he would always acknowledge him as his boss.

"Big brother! Please don't..."

"Sit down! Sit down! I won't underestimate you. I'll fight you in a bit. Stop arguing."

As if knowing what the other person was going to say, Lu Yunshi waved his hand and said it like he was coaxing a child.

Xiao He shut his mouth helplessly, sat down in the chair, and watched Lu Yunshi cook.

Xiao He was confident in his talent, and equally confident in his strength. So when he lost to Lu Yun, it was a huge blow to him, almost like falling into an abyss.

He couldn't believe that he had lost to someone with such low talent and far inferior strength. Even in hand-to-hand combat, even if it was just a contest of skills, he shouldn't have lost.

After winning, this person came over with an expression that seemed completely taken for granted.

comfort?

What a load of rubbish!

To cherish oneself?

That's utter nonsense!

This bastard stood in front of me like one of those ordinary victors, strutting around arrogantly, hurling insults right in my face.

"Wow! So this is a genius, truly celestial material. It's a pity it shattered so easily after falling, unlike us earthlings who never break. I misjudged you. Your inability to accept defeat makes you useless to me even if you win; it's a waste of my time..."

It was a long, rambling speech that sounded awful, but I was calm at the time and actually thought what the other person was saying made sense.

If he could break so easily, what would he amount to? So he gave up, waiting to fight back later, and then... and then it was the next time and the next time, and he still hasn't won.

However, through repeated battles, Xiao He has come to understand Lu Yunshi better than anyone else what kind of person he is.

He has extremely poor talent, but his only problem is that he cultivates slowly.

This point will never be a hindrance to him, and it is precisely because he realized this that Xiao He became increasingly indifferent to his submission.

At least in his opinion, Lu Yunshi was a remarkable person.

"Here comes the chicken soup!"

As Xiao He pondered, Lu Yunshi placed the last of the chicken soup on the table and then looked at Lao Liu.

"Is everyone here?"

The sixth brother shook his head slightly. Just then, another small figure walked in. Everyone looked over and saw a chubby child who looked only four or five years old, licking a lollipop and snot bubbles running from his nose.

Strangely, the child was also dressed in middle school clothes.

"Little brother! Come here quickly."

"Xiao Shi, come quick! The boss made this dish."

"..."

Upon seeing the adorable child, everyone laughed and called out.

That's right, this little brat is none other than the youngest, Lu Yunshi's tenth brother, Hong Yi.

Although Hong Yi is young, he is the most talented among them. He is only five years old now and was tricked into marrying Lu Yunshi with his excellent cooking skills.

Lu Yunshi took Hong Yi as his youngest son for a different reason than for the others. It wasn't because he wanted someone to help him with anything. At the time, he simply thought that this child, who could eat more than two hundred plates of food at such a young age, must be an extraordinary person, so... he took him in for fun.

Who knew this little brat was truly extraordinary, and soon he went up the mountain.

Hearing the voices of the crowd, Hong Yi immediately stepped forward, dodging Lao Qi's outstretched arms, and came to the table. He picked up the bowl of fish soup and started gulping it down, finishing it in less than three seconds.

"It's so delicious, made by the boss." Hong Yi moved his face away from the soup bowl, revealing a satisfied look, and then turned his attention to the other dishes.

Seeing this, the sixth and seventh brothers immediately stepped forward and grabbed their younger brother's hand to help him control himself.

"Little brother, tone it down a bit. At least leave some for your older brothers and sisters," Lu Yunshi said to Hong Yi with a laugh.

Hearing Lu Yunshi speak, Hong Yi nodded in agreement, and only then did the two men release him.

"Are the third and fourth brothers coming too?" Lu Yunshi turned his head and asked.

"No, they're both busy. Third Brother said he still has something to work out and he's pulling out his hair. Judging by his hair, he'll probably be bald soon. As for Fourth Brother... you know, Boss, he's a coward. It's very difficult to see him." Sixth Brother shook his head and said.

"Alright, let's start eating." Lu Yunshi nodded, signaling everyone to begin using their chopsticks.

During the process, Lao Liu handed Lu Yun a bill while eating.

"Boss, this is... the reason I asked you to come today."

"What the heck?" Lu Yunshi put down his chopsticks, opened the list, and looked at it. There were about a hundred names on it. "What is this? An assassination bounty list? Or a list of survivors?"

Lu Yunshi suddenly froze as he spoke, noticing a familiar name on the screen.

Zhang Yi.

The Brother Zhang who helped Lu Yunshi clean the crabs out of the academy back then.

"Boss, didn't you tell us to find some people here who could help us with things? These are the people I've recently recruited. Some of them were people we helped go up the mountain before, and they already owed us favors. I told them and they agreed. The rest... were attracted by your awesomeness, Boss."

"Powerful?" Lu Yunshi asked, then pointed to himself. "Me?"

If Lu Yunshi doesn't understand others, how could he not understand himself?

"Did you do something?"

"Haha, just... a little bit." Old Six said with a laugh, pinching a gap between his thumb and forefinger.
