"It is a good thing that you have come, brother… I was about sending someone to come get you…"

The athletic Shen Tang walked out as he gave his beloved younger brother a bear hug lifting him off the ground entirely as Shen Wang revealed an embarrassed expression…

​​

He might be young but he was also a Nascent Soul expert, so giving him a bear hug in the presence of outsiders was still okay, but lifting him off the ground like he was a sack of bananas made him very awkward, especially when he noticed that the outer court girl that came out with his loose robed brother was laughing coyly at him…

"Big brother, you've had another breakthrough?" Shen Wang sensed something different about his brother's aura and asked in a totally stunned voice…

"Ha-ha ha, you noticed… Ha-ha ha… that was why I wanted to send someone to call you over, I knew you would figure it out…"

Shen Tang laughed uproariously and happily as he dropped his brother and tapped him on the shoulders lightly…

If the rest of the inner court disciples saw the way Shen Tang was behaving currently, they would be totally dumbstruck…

The stone cold, murderous looking, Shen Tang was actually laughing uproariously?

Even if they were beaten half to death and threatened with their families, they still wouldn't believe it one bit…

But here he was acting like the most jovial figure within the entire Desert Sun Sect, it was a truly unbelievable sight…

But this only goes to show how much Shen Tang actually valued his siblings and put his family first before everything else….

Thus the next thing he said was to ask about his youngest brother;

"What about Shen Yang… Hope he hasn't been causing mischief again?"

"Actually that was why I came here…" Shen Wang finally spoke in a serious tone as his face also carried a serious but pained expression…

Seeing his little brother reveal a pained expression despite the joyous occasion, Shen Tang's happy expression drooped significantly as he asked with a deepened voice;

"What happened with Shen Yang?"

Shen Wang's heart tremble slightly at the pressure within the tone his brother just used in speaking to him, though he still revealed a smug smirk that wasn't noticed by anyone else…

He had finally gotten his elder brother riled up, this would definitely ensure that he respond aggressively to whatever it was he was about to say next, which was the sort of emotions Shen Wang had been looking for in the first place…

In fact, when the girl beside them sensed Shen Tang's current mood, she retreated three steps behind before going down on her knees and ushering Shen Tang to one of the reclining chairs, such actions of servitude was something Shen Tang loved seeing a lot...

As a result, whenever someone offended him, he usually either beat such a person into loyal servitude or simply make that person bedridden for months if he is merciful and even years on the occasion of one unfortunate newbie that entered the inner court three years ago…

Seeing that he had achieved his brother's undivided attention Shen Wang reported everything that had happened, and when he was done, he only saw Shen Tang reveal a wicked grin which for some reason seemed to petrify the outer court girl that just came out with Shen Tang…

"So, he plans on using the 'War God' challenge as a means of entering the inner court?"

"Hmm… If he does achieve that, not even father would be able to lay a finger on him due to the amount of attention and level of importance the Sect higher ups would have placed on him…"

"Thus, we really have to plan this out extremely well…"

"I can't also do much to him from here, which means there are only two ways to deal with this situation; the first is that we allow him to enter the inner court and then I can cripple him under the guise of bullying…"

"Though the Sect might punish me, it won't be anything I can't handle…" Shen Tan explained his plans….

"Or we could actually finish him off before he even steps a foot within this grounds… I will give you something to use against him during his 'War God Challenge' that would at least guarantee you a 60 percent chance of defeating him…"

Shen Tang added with an evil smirk plastered on his face…

"You must have formed your second nascent soul, right?" Shen Tang looked to his younger brother dotingly, as he asked…

"I was lucky to stumble upon the writings of an ancient expert in one of the caves within the death zone at the center of the desert…"

"So, after receiving inspiration from his words, I was enlightened on my Flame Dao and was able to form my second nascent soul within that same cave…" Shen Tang revealed a smug expression when he got to this part of his story…

"You could have simply applied for the inner court promotional test and entered the inner court with your current strength…"

"I understand also, but the problem is; who will look after Shen Yang when I have also left the outer court?"

"He is still a kid, you know… Furthermore, he is still in the 7 Star Dan Formation stage, and with the way he has placed more importance on fooling around rather than cultivating, it might take him a little over a year to do so which is why I am waiting for the inner court promotional tournament to move to the inner court…"

"That way if I can protect him and he completely focuses on cultivation, then I can at least ensure our entry into the inner court by helping him in the tournament…" Shen Wang explained…

"Don't worry, that Fei Hong won't be around for much longer… Though I can't really do anything to him from here, that doesn't mean I can't still pull some strings…"

Shen Tang reclined to rest on the chair as he grabbed and squeeze the outer court girl's bubble butts before suggesting to his brother;

"You can take Chu'er with you for now and have her relieve you whenever you are stressed up… moreover, she would also serve as my right hand within the outer court, so I can pull some strings without even being there…"
