The system, initially full of anticipation, suddenly changed its tone: "Ahhh! His giant cleaver slashed at Jiang Chengzong's thigh!"
[He's gone mad! Jiang Chengli has gone mad!] It could only howl; it couldn't utter anything else.
Xu Wanying immediately burst out laughing and even started clapping, completely immersed in the joy of watching the excitement.
[Ahhh, host, you're not allowed to laugh at me! This must be because Jiang Chengli loves Xing Xiaoya too much. Xing Xiaoya suddenly brought a man back, and he couldn't handle it. He got jealous on the spot, thinking this was his number one rival, and wanted to chop him up with a knife!]
The system was on the verge of crashing, and hearing Xu Wanying's cold laughter only further provoked it, stirring up a rebellious spirit within it, and it bravely made excuses for itself.
[You're deceiving yourself again. I've already said Jiang Chengli didn't lose his memory. How could he not recognize his second brother?]
"So what if he's your second brother? I've already told you, Xing Xiaoya is a heartthrob, all the men in the Jiang family are smitten with her. It's normal for brothers to fight amongst themselves. Look at how brutally this first meeting of the three of them started! The battle will only get more intense as their relationship with Xing Xiaoya deepens!"
[Host, you'll be an outsider then, hahaha, I'm really looking forward to that moment!]
The system's tone grew increasingly firm as it spoke, eventually becoming quite arrogant, as if it could already foresee that day coming.
Xu Wanying couldn't help but roll her eyes. The system's current state was very much like that of someone who had entered a pyramid scheme. It had been brainwashed countless times and had its own cognitive system. Even if things were going very wrong, it would still stick to its own ideas.
However, Xu Wanying didn't need to refute it anymore, because the system started crashing again.
The two brothers started fighting. Jiang Chengzong recognized Jiang Chengli and tried to calm him down, but he completely ignored him!
[Ugh, everyone, can you please move away? You're about to hit Xing Xiaoya! Get out of here!]
At the entrance of a residential building on Wutong Street, two young men were already locked in a fierce fight.
"Third brother, it's me. I'm back from Qingzhou. Didn't you recognize me?" Jiang Chengzong, exhausted from dealing with the situation, raised his voice in an attempt to rouse him from his daze.
The moment he saw Jiang Chengli, a look of surprise and joy flashed across his face. After all, he hadn't seen his younger brother for a long time. He had been working in Qingzhou and had just returned to report for duty. Before he even got home, he encountered this incident. He thought it was a good thing, but he never expected to be chased and attacked by his third brother.
He shouted at the top of his lungs, but the young man in front of him paid no attention. In fact, the more he shouted, the redder Jiang Chengli's eyes became, as if he had suffered a great shock.
"Are you crazy? Where are you going to slash with that knife?"
Both brothers learned martial arts from a young age, but Jiang Chengzong never got to fight on the battlefield, unlike Jiang Chengli who faced numerous life-or-death crises every day in the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
Jiang Chengzong was more like a scholar-general. As a local official in Qingzhou, he was not as agile as Jiang Chengli. In addition, Jiang Chengli was armed with a sharp blade, making him invincible.
Jiang Chengli was like a ruthless killer, showing no mercy to him, every move revealing murderous intent.
The short knife made a buzzing sound as it was swung. Suddenly, taking advantage of the moment when Jiang Chengzong was speaking, he gripped the dagger with his backhand and thrust it forward, instantly severing a lock of Jiang's hair.
"Third brother, you really need to be taught a lesson. I have to get serious, otherwise you won't even know who the elder brother is!" Jiang Chengzong's expression changed, and his demeanor clearly changed as well.
The two fought fiercely, exchanging blows with dazzling moves.
"Stop fighting, Brother Dazhuang! Please stop! I encountered bandits on the road today, and this young master saved me. Please don't harm him!"
"Young master, please don't be angry. Brother Dazhuang is just too worried about me. He misunderstood you as a bad person. I'll explain it to him and it will be fine."
Seeing the two people fighting so fiercely in front of her, Xing Xiaoya not only did not back down, but also wanted to step forward to stop them.
If Xu Wanying saw this scene, she would probably sigh and say, "No wonder she has the female lead's halo. She dares to step forward at a time like this. Isn't she afraid of death?"
As it turns out, even the female lead gets involved.
As the two men were entangled, Jiang Chengzong threw a punch, which Jiang Chengli immediately blocked. However, after glancing at Xing Xiaoya who was approaching, he quickly pushed Jiang Chengzong's arm away and changed direction. Instantly, Jiang Chengzong's elbow was forcefully pushed out and slammed into Xing Xiaoya's face.
"Ah—" Xing Xiaoya's cry of pain came.
Jiang Chengzong was stunned and immediately wanted to stop and turn around to check on her, but the person opposite him did not allow him to stop at all. The dagger was thrust out again, this time aimed directly at his groin.
With a "hiss," the sound of cloth being torn was heard.
Jiang Chengzong quickly dodged, and the dagger missed its original target, but still slashed his leg hard, tearing his pants and leaving a long wound on his thigh, from which bright red blood flowed instantly.
"Who taught you this? You want to ruin me? I don't even have a child! Third brother, you're so heartless! What did second brother do to offend you that you hate me so much?" Jiang Chengzong's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.
It was only now that he vaguely realized that the third brother no longer wanted his life, but instead wanted his manhood.
But it doesn't make much difference. If he really had his manhood cut off, even if he survived, he would only be barely clinging to life and would have to live in the shadows for the rest of his life.
Jiang Chengli raised an eyebrow, his eyes filled with murderous intent, and said in a deep voice, "You were almost there. Second brother, just bear with it. There's nothing wrong with being a eunuch. Once you're a eunuch, you'll never be seduced again."
Jiang Chengzong never expected that he would admit it so readily, and he jumped up instantly.
"You're really crazy! What do you mean by saying there's nothing wrong with being a eunuch? How can you say such nonsense as if it's a great benefit? Would you like this blessing?" Jiang Chengzong couldn't help but rub his arms. He really thought his third brother's mental state was terrifying.
Even though he had his hair cut off before, he didn't think much of it, but now, hearing Jiang Chengli say such things, he felt a cold sweat break out on his back.
"Of course I want this blessing, but God is unwilling to bestow it upon me. I've tried countless times before to castrate myself, but no matter whether I sharpen the knife myself or pretend it's an accident, I haven't succeeded. This thing is incredibly strong; I can't get rid of it no matter what. I really don't want it!" Jiang Chengli's voice grew lower and lower as he spoke, as if he were talking to himself, but his tone was quite serious. He was clearly not joking or being sarcastic, but calmly stating the facts.
As a martial artist, Jiang Chengzong was naturally sharp-eared and sharp-eyed. Even though the voice was very low, he could hear it clearly and was instantly provoked to the point of exploding.
