Chapter 1545 Good Brothers

In the same forest, on the same mountain, in the other direction, the corners of Xu Que’s mouth ticked up as he listened to Buttface’s voice reverberating in the distance.

“Buttface, you wanna play with me? You’re still not up to scratch...”

“Boy, you’d better come out soon. We were so close in our previous lives. Can you bear to watch Your Holiness being bullied and humiliated by other people?” Buttface’s voice rang out, echoing off the mountain.

Xu Que shook his head and smiled without saying a word. The moment he’d heard it, he’d known that this fool had been trying to lure him to reply so he could lock in on his location and drag him into this mess, and then run away at his first opportunity.

“Ah, Brother Xu, please come out here quickly!

“Lord Brother, don’t tell me you’ve forgotten Buttface?

“Don’t you remember all the days when we fought alongside one another?”

Buttface continued to shout, trying to use Xu Que’s words from before to influence Xu Que.

Xu Que wasn’t moved at all as he listened to Buttface. It even made him want to laugh a little...

PAH!

“Sorry, I couldn’t hold back. I’m already laughing!”

However, he really didn’t intend to watch Buttface being hunted down by Xuanyuan Wanrong.

Originally he had been prepared to use the Celestial Grade Escape Emblem to take Buttface and escape. But in order to guard against Buttface’s tricks, Xu Que had decided to accomplish this in another way.

So, from the beginning, when he’d begun to prepare the setup of the formation, he’d laid out an Illusory Spell in a small area of the forest. Although it couldn’t completely trap Xuanyuan Wanrong and the others, it would still bring no small amount of trouble to her and the Heaven Palace Sect disciples.

It was precisely because of this formation that Buttface had had the time to shout at Xu Que. Otherwise, he would’ve been caught long ago by Xuanyuan Wanrong and the others and probably beaten to death.

Meanwhile, as Buttface ran, he also detected something was fishy. The great danger that Xuanyuan Wanrong and the Heaven Palace Sect disciples presented was getting farther and farther away. He was even beginning to not sense it anymore.

In this case, there were only two possibilities.

Either Xuanyuan Wanrong and the disciples were too powerful and were able to hide their murderous auras to a perfect level. Or else, the distance between the two sides was being pulled farther and farther apart. Perhaps the murderous aura would gradually disappear.

“Huh, an Illusory Spell?”

Buttface couldn’t help but turn his head to take a look. He instantly discovered the fluctuations in the Celestial Core Power that were caused by the spell. He recognized that it was an Illusory Spell.

“Buttface, come here quickly!” Almost simultaneously, Xu Que’s voice sounded out.

Buttface’s eyes brightened as he said, “F*ck, will do, big brother!”

With a SWISH, he sped in Xu Que’s direction.

Not long after, the two of them met again, holding each other’s hands tightly.

“Lord Brother!”

“Buttface!”

Xu Que and Buttface appeared righteous-looking and showed total devotion while they shouted in unison, “Good brothers!”

“You really scared Your Holiness to death just now. I thought Brother Xu had betrayed me, so I said some impulsive words. I hope that you, my brother, aren’t angry.” Buttface explained unashamedly.

“You fool, how could I mind? The situation just now was too dangerous, so I didn’t have time to explain the plan to you. I hope you don’t mind, Brother Buttface.” Xu Que flashed an amazing smile.

“You’ve proved yourself to be Your Holiness’s good brother. Let’s go, we’d better get out of this place right away.”

Buttface finished speaking and took the initiative to lead the way. Apparently he was very familiar with this forest on the mountain.

But a few steps later, he said again, “By the way, Brother Xu, let’s discuss something.”

“What’s the matter?” Xu Que asked.

“In the previous life, you called me Buttface and I called you Lord Brother. You see, you are so much younger than Your Holiness in this life. Why don’t we change what we call each other?”

“How do you want to change it?”

“Your Holiness is older than you by a few thousand years in this world. With our friendship, can we address each other as peers of the same generation and call each other by our own names. How about it?”

“Sure!”

“Good, Brother Xu, you’re frank and straightforward. That settles it then. From now on, you will call Your Holiness the Mighty King and Your Holiness will call you Master Lord!”

“No problem, Mighty King!”

“That’s great, Master Lord!”

Buttface suddenly beamed happily and looked as if he were over the moon. Finally, he no longer had to shout to another person as older brother.

.....

After a while, Xu Que and Buttface finally stepped out of the forest on the mountain. They quickly covered up their presence to avoid being tracked and pursued again by Xuanyuan Wanrong and the others.

After determining that it was safe in the surroundings, Buttface also immediately pulled out a palm-sized Spell Disk from his bosom. He placed it on the ground and started fiddling with it.

“What are you doing?” Xu Que asked with a smile.

“Humph! Your Holiness has always been about an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Those people from the Heaven Palace Sect have dared to vilify Your Holiness and say that he dallies with women. Now Your Holiness is ready to sneak into their treasure trove to carry out a vicious retaliation.” Buttface spoke with the courage of his convictions.

PFFT!

“It just so happens that I’m also getting ready to go to the Heaven Palace Sect. Shall we work together on this round?” Xu Que said with a laugh.

“Work together? How should we work together?” Buttface became interested.

“As far as I know, they’re having a general assembly to recruit new people today, and I happen to have received a recruitment invitation. I will go and make a mess of the recruitment assembly first to distract their attention. At that time, you will enter the treasure house, and then you can...”

“Do whatever I want!” With a smirk on his face, Buttface finished the sentence

with words that Xu Que hadn’t yet spoken.

“That’s right. But for us to share the spoils from this treasure house, are we going to follow the old rules, or should we set a new rule?” Xu Que asked with a smile.

“Old rules?” Buttface stared blankly.

“The old rules from our previous lives. Ten-90 split: ten for you and 90 for me,” Xu Que replied.

“F*ck!” Buttface jumped up in agitation and said, “Not cool at all. We must make new rules.”

“Then how about 20-80 split? 20 for you and 80 for me?”

“Come on, boy, are you so wicked? Let’s be fair. How about a 50-50 split?”

“50-50?” Xu Que hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.”All right then. After all, this is the first time we are working together in this world. 50-50 split it is then!”

“You’re a good brother!” Buttface was full of smiles again.

“50-50 split? In your dreams! When the times comes, Your Holiness will scrape clean the treasure house and directly slip away.”

.....

Soon, they separated. Buttface fiddled with the teleportation device and got ready to be teleported to the Heaven Palace Sect’s treasure house.

Xu Que continued on his way alone and walked out from the other side of the forest on the mountain. Using the Disguise Puppet again, he transformed into his previous appearance of a beautiful man clad in elegant white clothes. He carried the recruitment ticket and set foot on the stone steps leading to the Heaven Palace Sect’s gate.

With his disguise, Xu Que’s presence and appearance had completely changed.

The Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven who was guarding the main gate didn’t recognize Xu Que, but sensed the presence of the recruitment ticket Xu Que had on him. He didn’t release any powerful pressure to block Xu Que.

Just as Xu Que arrived in front of the main gate, a tall, sturdy man walked out, blocking his way, as he asked, “Fellow cultivator, please stop and identify yourself first.”

Apparently, this tall, sturdy man was the Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven who had been guarding the main gate.

Xu Que smiled slightly and politely bowed with his hands cupped in greeting, “I’m Slayer Lord from the Exploding Heavens Faction.”

“Slayer Lord?” The tall, sturdy man frowned. He didn’t think the name was strange, but he felt that the name and the image of this graceful young man in front of him somehow didn’t match.

But he didn’t care much. He reached out with a flourish and took the recruitment ticket from Xu Que. He plucked a jade tile from midair. After he’d engraved the two words, Slayer Lord, on top, he tossed it to Xu Que.

“Go in, go straight and then turn right. Someone will take you to the martial arts hall to report.”

“Thank you, Senior Brother.” Xu Que took the jade tile and cupped his hands in thanks. He continued, “By the way, Senior Brother, when I came up the mountain just now, I inadvertently saw a Kylin named Mighty King fiddling with a teleportation device, saying that he was getting ready to sneak into the Heaven Palace Sect’s treasure house to carry out a theft.”
