Chapter 101: Ye Shiyuan’s Breakthrough

"Master, how long has it been?"

"It has already been twenty days, Shiyuan. Congratulations."

With a single glance, Bai He could tell that Ye Shiyuan had already made a breakthrough.

A faint smile immediately appeared on Ye Shiyuan’s face. "It’s all thanks to Master’s help."

How did he know he had helped him?

Had Ye Shiyuan noticed something?

But normally, when someone entered deep meditation during cultivation, weren’t they supposed to be unaware of everything happening in the outside world?

"Thank you, Master, for giving me the Windwheel Holy Lotus. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to reach the Nascent Soul stage within a month."

Bai He finally let out a small sigh of relief.

So that was what Ye Shiyuan meant.

That meant he could relax.

"In that case, Shiyuan, you should rest for a bit. After that, you can try challenging that sword spirit."

Even though Ye Shiyuan now possessed the strength to wield the Dawnmaker Divine Sword, it would definitely not be an easy matter as long as the sword spirit remained.

The only fortunate thing was that this sword spirit was no longer the same one it had originally been.

A sword spirit’s strength could grow stronger with its master, but it could also gradually weaken after its master disappeared.

If this had been the Dawnmaker Sword Spirit at the height of its power, Ye Shiyuan likely would not have had any chance at all. But now, his chances were actually quite high.

"Mm. Master, if the sword spirit attacks you, remember to leave immediately, understood?"

"I know. Besides, I’m already at the late Golden Core stage now. Shiyuan, while you were cultivating, I was also cultivating seriously..."

Ye Shiyuan was rather surprised.

Considering Bai He’s age and current level of cultivation, it was indeed extremely rare in the world.

Bai He stepped to the side.

From here on, the matter was no longer something he needed to interfere with.

Ye Shiyuan once again walked toward the Dawnmaker Divine Sword.

He raised his hand and gripped the hilt, then pulled with force.

Just like his previous attempt, the sword spirit’s eyes instantly snapped open and it rushed toward him.

The only difference was that this time the Dawnmaker Divine Sword was no longer completely unmoving.

It actually shifted slightly.

However, just as it had moved halfway out, the sword spirit had already rushed over.

Ye Shiyuan had no choice but to release the sword and quickly step back several paces.

He immediately drew the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword and met the attack head-on.

If it had not been the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword, an ordinary sword would have been completely incapable of resisting the divine might of the Dawnmaker Divine Sword’s sword spirit.

Bai He stood to the side watching, while Mo Zhu remained beside him.

"That sword spirit... is really handsome."

Bai He let out a quiet sigh of admiration.

It truly was handsome.

Those eyes alone carried an incredible sense of presence and authority.

"Host, I suggest that right now you loudly shout out what you’re thinking. Let your true feelings be heard."

That... would not be very appropriate.

Bai He still cared about his dignity.

He absolutely would not do something so shameless.

"Shiyuan, that sword spirit is so handsome. I really like him."

Bai He stared at Mo Zhu in shock.

He swore those words had definitely not come from his own mouth.

"You..."

Slandering his reputation like this was completely intolerable.

"Host, I’m helping you. How can you fail to appreciate good intentions?"

Helping him? This was clearly an attempt to make him die from social embarrassment.

Bai He glared fiercely at Mo Zhu.

Just as he was about to say something...

"Shiyuan, please show mercy. Don’t hurt him."

Bai He looked stunned again.

Those words had not been said by him either.

However, those words seemed to have had an effect.

Ye Shiyuan actually began gaining the upper hand.

Not only that, the expression on his face began to changed as well.

It carrying several traces of anger, as if there were some kind of personal grudge involved.

Bai He’s heart skipped a beat.

Did this have something to do with him?

In only about half the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, Ye Shiyuan swung the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword down fiercely toward the sword spirit.

The spirit instantly vanished and dissolving into faint points of light that merged back into the Dawnmaker Divine Sword.

Was it over?

It was successful.

Bai He happily jumped in place.

He had just been about to say something to congratulate Ye Shiyuan when Ye Shiyuan had already walked over.

"Shiyuan..."

Why did he seem unhappy?

Not only unhappy, he actually looked more like he was angry.

"Master, what did you just say?"

"I..."

Bai He was completely unable to explain himself.

Those words had not been spoken by him, but now he could only pretend that they had been.

"I... well... I..."

"Master, what’s so good about that sword spirit? He had a blank expression. Do you like that kind of appearance?"

Ye Shiyuan’s face was extremely serious, which made him look quite intimidating.

"I didn’t..."

Bai He spoke with a trace of guilt, his voice lacking confidence.

In Ye Shiyuan’s eyes, it only seemed like he was trying to cover something up.

"Master, you shouldn’t judge solely by appearance. That sword spirit was only a sword spirit. It could never possess human emotions."

Bai He nodded. "I understands."

Of course he understood.

How could he possibly develop an interest in a sword spirit?

He wasn’t crazy.

It was all Mo Zhu’s fault for imitating his voice and saying those ridiculous things.

It was truly disgusting.

Ye Shiyuan misunderstanding him like this now was entirely because of it.

"So Master understands."

Bai He forced himself to nod. "I’m understands now."

Seeing the aggrieved look on Bai He’s face, Ye Shiyuan began to wonder if his words earlier had been too harsh.

His tone softened slightly.
