At that moment, Hu Lie's face displayed a hint of pain as he muttered, "It's so rare to come across such a promising talent, yet it's like a tantalizing treat we can see but cannot eat...and you even have an incredible background. The Tiger Clan simply can't accommodate you..."
After saying so, Hu Lie fixed his burning gaze on Chu Mo. "Brother, if you don't mind, let's become sworn siblings!"
"Huh?" Chu Mo, already uneasy, was taken aback by Hu Lie's proposal. Staring blankly at Hu Lie, he asked, "What did you say?"
"Let's become sworn siblings!" Hu Lie repeated himself.
"Even though... I understand... my suggestion is rather abrupt, but honestly, brother..." Hu Lie began to stutter, rubbing his hands together and looking at Chu Mo apologetically. "I might be overstepping my bounds..."
"Wait..." Chu Mo gawked at Hu Lie, his mouth twitching as he asked, "What exactly are you saying? Are you overstepping your bounds with me, or am I doing so with you?"
