Let's Tie the Knot Again as Sworn Brothers ( Part 4 )

In fact, during the 21st century, Mu Linfeng was also the leader of the underworld, and he had witnessed many life and death situations. He never knew how to write the word "fear". His position as the leader was earned with his life. He had encountered many arrogant and lawless people, but none of them had made Mu Linfeng feel this way. At this moment, he couldn't help but feel a sense of unease and fear. Apart from Long Qingfeng, there was probably no one else in Jinling City who could make these usually arrogant and domineering people so frightened. Even Long Qingyun was so wary of him.

The man in white walked to the front of the table, pacing back and forth, looking at the things on the table, and sizing up Mu Linfeng. His face was still expressionless, and although his eyes were sharp, they were also very empty. Mu Linfeng really couldn't see what this person was thinking, and didn't understand what he would do next. At this moment, Mu Linfeng's first thought was to grip the gun in his hand.

The man looked at Mu Linfeng for a long time, and Mu Linfeng felt a chill run down his spine. Then the man's eyes turned to Long Qingyun, and he said slowly, "Second brother, are you trying to take a subordinate?"

Long Qingyun knelt on the cushion, looked up, opened his mouth, and couldn't speak for a while. After a long time, he finally said, "Big...big brother... this is the person you often mention, Mu Linfeng, Lord Mu..."

Mu Linfeng heard Long Qingyun confirm that the person in front of him was Long Qingfeng. According to Mu Linfeng's inference based on his observation of Long Qingyun, Long Qingfeng should be a tall and sturdy figure like Long Qingyun, but he turned out to be a person of average build and a gentle and refined appearance.

Long Qingfeng looked at Long Qingyun for a long time without any expression on his face, then suddenly turned around and got on a rickshaw. The rickshaw driver immediately turned the vehicle around. Mu Linfeng wondered to himself, "Does this guy have a problem with his brain?"

But he heard Long Qingfeng say, "After the ceremony, remember to set up a banquet at Yipinlou tonight and let me know!" Without waiting for Long Qingyun's reply, he patted the handle of the rickshaw and the driver immediately pulled the rickshaw away, disappearing from sight in an instant.

Everyone present seemed to still be in the previous situation and had not yet recovered. After a while, they gasped for breath. Mu Linfeng didn't think that although Long Qingfeng appeared cultured and refined, he could make his subordinates so fearful, even to the point of horror. He must have some extraordinary ability that allowed him to do so.

Long Qingyun knelt on the ground and coughed a few times. A forced smile appeared on his stiff face as he said to Mu Linfeng, "Second Brother, don't worry. My eldest brother is always like this, serious and unsmiling. In fact, he is cold on the outside but warm on the inside... " Long Qingyun paused, not knowing how to describe his own brother. Perhaps he didn't even understand what kind of person his elder brother really was?

Mu Linfeng laughed, "Haha, Brother Two, you're talking nonsense. Since Long Ye is Brother Two's elder brother, he's also my elder brother. How could I, as his younger brother, care about such things with my elder brother? Brother Two is treating me like an outsider!"

Long Qingyun waved his hands repeatedly, "Brother Two, you're misunderstanding! It's just that I misspoke." He then raised his hand and swore, "Today, I, Long Qingyun, become sworn brothers with Mu Linfeng. From now on, we share good fortune and hardship. If we violate this oath, we will be punished severely by heaven and earth."

Seeing Long Qingyun's solemn expression, Mu Linfeng hurriedly said, "I, Mu Linfeng, become sworn brothers with Long Qingyun today. I will treat Long Qingyun as my own brother and share good fortune and hardship with him. If I break this oath, let heaven and earth punish me."

After they finished their vows and performed eight bows, a big man beside them picked up a rooster and placed it on the table. He casually chopped off its head with a knife, and then poured the blood into a bowl. Another man who had been tasked with bringing the wine was already trembling with fear and still sitting on the side. Ye Zhimao quickly instructed another person to bring out the wine and mix it with the chicken blood in the bowl.

Long Qingyun took a gulp of wine from his bowl and smashed it on the ground, laughing loudly, "Little brother, well done!"

Mu Linfeng also drank the wine in his bowl, smashed it, and took Long Qingyun's hand, laughing, "Second brother!" Then he felt something was off and quickly said, "Second brother calls me little brother, and I call second brother as second brother, this..."

Long Qingyun first frowned, then laughed heartily, "Who cares? You can't call me big brother, then what about my big brother? Should I call you third brother?"

Mu Linfeng laughed, "Right, it's just a name. As long as second brother is my elder brother, who cares if you're second brother or big brother, you're still my brother. As long as you're second brother's younger brother, whether it's second, third, fourth... or seventieth younger brother, it's all good!"

Long Qingyun said, "Not bad, not bad, that's right!"

After Mu Linfeng and Long Qingyun became sworn brothers, the servants set off another round of firecrackers. Ye Zhimao quickly congratulated them, "Congratulations, Young Master Mu, Second Master Long!" Then the followers of Second Master Long also came forward to offer their congratulations.

Long Qingyun laughed heartily, his voice thundering, "From now on, Young Master Mu will be Second Brother of Long. If any of you disrespect my little brother, it's disrespecting me, Long Second Brother. I'm sure you all know the consequences, so Long Second Brother won't say much more!"

Everyone said, "From now on, Young Master Mu is our Third Young Master!" "Right, right, Young Master Mu is our Third Young Master!" "..."

Mu Linfeng quickly thanked everyone, "You all have raised me up... just call me by my name, I really can't be the third young master!"

Long Qingyun said, "What are you talking about, Second Brother? You are my brother, Long Er. From now on, you will be their Third Young Master. If they show any disrespect to you, feel free to beat or kill them. I, Long Er, will not even bat an eye!"

Upon hearing this, everyone addressed Mu Linfeng as "Third Young Master." Mu Linfeng repeatedly declined but eventually gave in, saying, "Since it's like this, I will have to agree with Second Brother. But I really can't accept the title of Third Young Master. It's enough for you all to call me Mu Gongzi."

Long Qingyun laughed and said, "Since that's the case, let's listen to Second Brother." He turned to the others and said, "Although you will call me Mu Gongzi from now on, you must consider Mu Gongzi as your Third Young Master. As Long Er just said, anyone who disrespects Mu Gongzi is disrespecting me, Long Ye, Long Laotaiye, and the Qinglong Society."

Everyone immediately agreed, "Yes, Second Master!"

Long Qingyun then said, "We will all go to Yipin Lou tonight. Everyone is invited!" The crowd cheered at his words.

Mu Linfeng thought to himself, "Does this mean I am now connected to the Qinglong Society? It seems like this matter is not so simple. What kind of person is Long Qingyun, the secret leader of the society? Everything will become clear tonight at Yipin Lou, won't it?"
