"Blood brother of the same mother? Right?" Lu Sheng had to confirm, his voice shaky.

"Yes, Young Master," Lu Qing confirmed, his tone unwavering.

"He is a senior! What should I do now?" Lu Sheng quickly asked the System, panic clear in his voice.

[What do you mean? He is a ghost. No one would know anything, why are your knees getting weak?] The System's voice was calm, trying to soothe his nerves.

"What if the Clan Patriarch gets to know that we soul-slaved his brother? OMG! What have we done?" Lu Sheng's voice was frantic, panic clear in his eyes.

[How would he get to know? Would you tell him?] The System's tone was calm, trying to reassure him.

"What if he asks suddenly out of nowhere? Like, 'Lu Sheng, did you soul slave my traitor brother?'" Lu Sheng's voice was rising in pitch, bordering on hysteria.

[What? What kind of idiot scenario is this? Why are you suddenly so afraid of the Clan Patriarch?] The System sounded exasperated.
