Chapter 114: A Fake Confession

For this matter, Xu Feng could only blame himself.

The Blue Lotus Sword in his hand was simply too eye-catching.

In Nianbadu Ancient Town, it easily stirred up jealousy.

"Oh." After taking back the Blue Lotus Sword, Xu Feng immediately concealed it.

Bai He then walked over to Su Yuluan. "Miss Su, Nianbadu Ancient Town is dangerous. It’s even more dangerous for you to stay here alone. So if possible, you should leave."

"I won’t leave. Elder Bai He, I want to follow Shiyuan."

Bai He rubbed his temples, unable to understand why this person was so stubborn.

He glanced at Ye Shiyuan.

Although he knew Shiyuan might be a bit impatient, he hadn’t expected that not only was he impatient, he was actually looking at him with a pleading expression for help.

There was nothing he could do.

What was he supposed to do?

He couldn’t possibly make a move against a woman.

Well... in the original story, Ye Shiyuan also seemed to have no way of dealing with Su Yuluan.

Fine then, since he was the master and his disciple was asking for help, how could he just stand by?

"Look at you. As a girl, how can you be so thick skinned? Shiyuan clearly has no interest in you. Do you see him paying any attention to you?"

Bai He didn’t really want to speak so harshly, but at a time like this, only harsh words would have any effect.

"You—"

"Don’t ’you’ me. Shiyuan doesn’t like you. Do you think just because you’re pretty, others will automatically like you? Ye Shiyuan, tell her... Do you like her or not?"

Being suddenly called out, Ye Shiyuan immediately snapped back to attention.

Looking at Su Yuluan’s pitiful expression, he took a deep breath and replied, "Master is right. I don’t like you, Miss Su, and I don’t intend to. I already have someone I like."

"Who is the person you like? If you don’t tell me, I won’t believe you. I know there are no other women by your side... so this is just an excuse. You clearly don’t have someone you like. And if you don’t, why can’t that person be me?"

Su Yuluan believed that no one in this world was more suitable for Ye Shiyuan than herself.

He was peerlessly handsome and her beauty was also rare in the world.

Among all female cultivators, her cultivation was not lacking either.

Ye Shiyuan’s expression turned resolute.

He suddenly grabbed Bai He’s hand.

Bai He was stunned since he hadn’t been prepared...

He hadn’t even had time to react.

"There is, of course, someone by my side. The person I like is precisely my master. In that case, Miss Su, can you give up on me now?"

No matter what, Su Yuluan could not have imagined that Ye Shiyuan would actually hold Bai He’s hand.

Compared to others, Bai He could not even be considered a fully grown adult yet.

His figure was slender, his height not particularly tall, and...

"Y-you’re lying. How could you possibly like your own master? I don’t believe it..."

Refusing to believe it no matter what... Bai He was truly at a loss with Su Yuluan.

Impressive, really!

"Master?" Ye Shiyuan spoke softly, his voice so low that only Bai He could hear it.

Bai He could no longer pretend that nothing had happened.

"I... that’s right. Shiyuan and I are exactly as he said. Recently, our cultivation speed has been very fast while training together. Haven’t you noticed that Shiyuan is much stronger than the last time you saw him?"

Su Yuluan had, of course, noticed that.

She had originally thought it was due to Ye Shiyuan’s exceptional talent, but with Bai He putting it this way, it became...

"Y-you two... could it be that you already...?"

Su Yuluan’s face flushed red as she seemed to think of something. She then overwhelmed with embarrassment and anger.

Bai He was already used to this.

The last time he had mentioned something like this, hadn’t Xu Feng and Ye Shiyuan misunderstood as well?

This little bit didn’t make much difference anymore.

"Yes, it’s exactly what you’re thinking... So Miss Su, Shiyuan is mine now. You should hurry back to your Qixiu Valley and stop wasting your time on him," Bai He thought to himself, Hurry up and leave.

Just as Ye Shiyuan had hoped, Su Yuluan really did run off.

Bai He let out a sigh of relief, his expression turning somewhat blank.

Along the way, Xu Feng was the one who couldn’t understand things the most. "Master, what exactly were you talking about with Miss Su?"

"You’re still young. There’s no need for you to know."

"Master, you don’t seem much older than me. You know, so why can’t I?"

Bai He turned around, stuck out his tongue at him, and made a face. "I just won’t tell you."

How could he even explain something like that?

It was far too embarrassing.

No way he could say it out loud.

"Master." After remaining silent for a long time, Ye Shiyuan finally spoke. "Master, about what happened just now..."

Bai He felt a bit awkward.

About what just happened, Ye Shiyuan hadn’t meant it seriously, right?

"Master, please don’t take it to heart. It was only because the situation was urgent that I said those things. I’m sorry."

Bai He felt relieved.

As expected, Ye Shiyuan hadn’t meant it seriously.

"It’s fine. It was nothing."

"Thank you, Master, for helping me."

"Mm."

Bai He had been uneasy about how he would face Ye Shiyuan in the future, but now, there was no problem.

Ye Shiyuan glanced sideways at Bai He who was secretly smiling and taking in every expression on his face.

Actually, he...

If he hadn’t done that, he know Bai He would probably have been very troubled.

Ye Shiyuan knew that although Bai He appeared carefree and sometimes seemed a bit heartless on the surface, in reality, his thoughts were very delicate.
