Gu Qingqiu did not disappoint. He kowtowed again respectfully and solemnly promised, "Master, I, Gu Qingqiu, will undoubtedly obey your command and will never betray my master or defy my ancestors. If I do, may I die by a thousand arrows to my heart!"
Xiao Yunjing nodded, his impression of Gu Qingqiu improving even further. Such eloquence, courage, and spirit at such a young age were beyond what Daniu could match.
However, the two boys grew up in different environments. With proper cultivation, Daniu could also be an excellent candidate. Given time, he would surely surpass Gu Qingqiu.
"Get up and go with Daniu. Yes, from now on, Daniu will be your Senior Martial Brother," Xiao Yunjing said, instructing them to treat each other as martial brothers and develop a true fraternal bond. This way, they would be able to trust each other in the future. In their lives ahead, they would each have an additional brother on whom they could rely.
