The two men would remain silent for a while, for the same reason. They wanted to get to know each other better in their current lives, so they would both approach their secrets at some point in the future.
Karla-03: (...)
In the meantime, I have to monitor these two stubborn idiots... Ah, being a system is very difficult!
"Yes, I am concerned about these people. They were very strong without having prior knowledge of the past life, but if these people are reborn, wouldn't that be even more dangerous?" Chu Jiayi really spilled all his worries to Tao Kang.
The truth is that Chu Jiayi had built great power for himself, all to protect himself from Tao Kang, he even made a deal with the Devils to strengthen himself and his allies.
However, at this point, Tao Kang wasn't the danger, but some unknown people who were outside the main plot, not to mention the original villains who may have been reborn and prepared for a long time.
"I wonder if I should bring these people together again" Tao Kang muttered a little worried.
Unlike Chu Jiayi who focused his friendships and powers close to his territory, Tao Kang made many friendships while traveling and cultivating, but he preferred to follow the lone wolf path. That is, after solving what he had to solve, he left the place and said goodbye to his friends, continuing his journey of martial cultivation alone.
Chu Jiayi established his own strength, with his own intelligence agents, with several strong warriors around him, and even had agreements with other races. Tao Kang didn't have any of that, as he didn't bother to build his own strength, as he was looking for a specific person and didn't want to carry little brothers and sisters as it could delay his journey.
"What people?" Chu Jiayi asked curiously. He had at first been surprised by the lone wolf Tao Kang, who was very different from the main character in the book who had several martial brothers and sisters following him like a tail, or like diehard fans.
Then, Tao Kang told a little about his life as a lone wolf and his adventures to acquire items for his martial cultivation.
Tao Kang was very rich and had many friends and strong people who owed him favors.
As expected from the main character in the novel Chu Jiayi was reading earlier, a complete over Power character.
Of course, Chu Jiayi was still richer than the current Tao Kang.
After all, Chu Jiayi was preparing to survive the hero Tao Kang, so he had to be better prepared and richer than the hero in the novel.
Tao Kang who was talking a little about his adventures ended up also talking about his past and childhood. He spoke of his parents' deaths and how he was adopted into the family of his father's best friend.
"Do you have an older brother?" asked Chu Jiayi in surprise. When he had read the book in the modern world, Tao Kang's family had long since died and little was mentioned about them.
"Yes, my older brother had been taken by a mysterious person from some big sect. That's what everyone thought. My family died and I was taken care of by a friend of my father, but that person's family hated me and tried to hurt me in every way, as my older brother never came back to look for me. They thought I was abandoned by him or that he was dead" said Tao Kang with an icy look and an aura that radiated cruel coldness.
"But what really happened to your older brother?" Chu Jiayi asked as he hugged Tao Kang stroking his back. He didn't like it when his Tao buddy got sad and had this aura that he wanted to drive everyone away when he usually acts very frankly and sometimes shamelessly.
"He really went to a big sect, but it wasn't a sect of this world. It was a celestial sect, which was established by some gods, who are in the deep dimension of the void. Of course, I only came to meet my brother when I was about 30 years old or more, I don't remember very well" said Tao Kang closing the subject, he didn't want to say that the way he found his older brother was through one of his harem flowers, it would only make Chu Jiayi angry and even more insecure about the relationship.
Tao Kang had more concubines than Chu Jiayi could imagine and from what is told in the book, he was a god and accepted all women and brothers as if it was his right.
Despite spending a good deal of time cultivating and paying little or no attention to his concubines.
On the way to the top Tao Kang's vision was quite narrow and he only wanted to know about benefit and power, he rarely joined some woman with pure intentions, the only exception, and the person who killed him was Fen Yue, whose intentions with her were the best possible at the beginning of the relationship.
Of course, he could never say that to Chu Jiayi, it would be too terrible for him to know how dirty he had been in his past life.
Unfortunately for Tao Kang, Chu Jiayi already knew about almost every mess he had ever done, only things outside of the novel he had to consult Karla-03 for further information.
And even so, Chu Jiayi was willing to face this relationship rationally and with great affection, even though he sometimes felt insecure, he would still give the benefit of the doubt to his man. For sure if Tao Kang knew, he would be even more emotional and passionate, making him even more clingy... So, it was really fortunate that the only ignorant person was Tao Kang.
"This is not important now. But I have some interesting contacts, I was wondering if I should build my own strength," said Tao Kang changing the subject. The subject of his older brother was a little disturbing and haunted him for a while, but he didn't want to talk about it to Chu Jiayi right now.
In many ways he was disturbed from the way he found his older brother to when his older brother dies in a humiliating and painful way, which caused even more hatred and anger in Tao Kang's already warped heart, just remembering about it already made his mood very bad, he didn't want to scare his fiancé preferred to change the subject.
"I think it's a good idea. Although I already have my own strength if you need more strength that's fine too," Chu Jiayi said with an encouraging smile.
"Oh, my husband is the most powerful!" said Tao Kang shamelessly, making Chu Jiayi blush in embarrassment.
"Then forget about it! I don't want little brothers chattering around me. Let's use the husband's power. I'm just a poor wife who only wants the benefits my husband can give me," said Tao Kang excitedly, while gently pinching Chu Jiayi's cheeks.
"Aya... My wife is so greedy and flirtatious" said Chu Jiayi in a joking tone. The two ended up laughing together, once again lightening the mood in the room.
"Tao Kang, do you have any feelings for Miss Fen Yue?" Chu Jiayi asked suddenly. The atmosphere was once again tense in the room.
Don't think that Chu Jiayi didn't notice that Tao Kang avoided talking about Fen Yue for all this time.
Chu Jiayi wanted a clear answer on this matter, he couldn't help but feel smothered by the presence of Fen Yue and what it could do to his man's heart.
