Chapter 119: A Drunken Night

"At first I did take things recklessly, but later Shiyuan helped transfer the medicinal effects that I couldn’t digest into his body, and then back into mine. After that, it was fine."

"Shiyuan? Is it the Shiyuan I know?"

Bai He nodded. "Yes, who else could it be?"

"Ye Shiyuan... he’s quite an interesting person. It’s just a pity that his cultivation had reached a bottleneck."

Bai He took Qi Yunfei’s hand. "It’s already been resolved. Shiyuan has now broken through to the Golden Core stage."

If Bai He’s progress had already surprised Qi Yunfei, then Ye Shiyuan’s current cultivation was something she had never expected.

"I didn’t expect that after so many years without a breakthrough, once he did, he would advance so quickly. It seems Yao Xiangli has a worthy successor."

"Sistee, you might not know this, but Shiyuan is now actually my disciple, not Senior Brother’s anymore."

"Your disciple?" Qi Yunfei was full of doubt.

With Bai He’s level of cultivation, was he really suitable to be Ye Shiyuan’s master?

When it came to this matter, even Bai He himself didn’t know the reason.

"Shiyuan doesn’t mind it."

"Shiyuan is a good child. I’ve always thought highly of him. Since he chose you as his master, it must be because you have some exceptional qualities. Bai He, stop acting like a child. You should grow up quickly, you’re already someone’s master now."

Bai He accompanied Qi Yunfei as they walked around the Xueshan Sect, when they noticed a group of disciples gathered in one place.

He pointed in that direction. "Sister, let’s go take a look."

Qi Yunfei also found it a bit strange.

The disciples of the Xueshan Sect were usually very disciplined.

This was the first time she had seen such a scene.

There was even a faint smell of alcohol in the air.

"What are you all doing?" As she approached slightly, Qi Yunfei spoke.

Everyone immediately turned around and bowed in unison. "Greetings, Elder Qi."

After they stepped aside, they saw a few people sitting there.

It seems there to be three of them.

One of them staggered to his feet and walked out from the crowd.

"Hehe, Master."

Xu Feng?

Bai He covered his forehead as he shielding his eyes.

His mind buzzed in confusion, what on earth was going on?

"Hehe, Master. Drink."

Xu Feng truly was a filial disciple.

He actually carried a jug of wine over and offered it to Bai He.

Even though Qi Yunfei was not someone who got angry easily, her expression still darkened at this scene.

"Bai He, what is going on?"

Bai He hurriedly apologized. "I’m sorry, Sister."

"Take your disciple back."

"Alright."

Bai He obediently took Xu Feng away.

This was utterly embarrassing.

What puzzled Bai He even more was why Xu Feng was here and why he was drinking.

He didn’t usually like alcohol and Bai He had never heard that he had any acquaintances in the Xueshan Sect.

After bringing him back to the room, Bai He threw him onto the bed.

Xu Feng mumbled drowsily, "Senior Brother... Brother Xue... let’s keep drinking..."

Bai He had originally planned to leave, but suddenly stopped when he heard those words.

"What did you say?"

"Senior Brother..."

Bai He faintly caught the words "Senior Brother" and recalled that there had been others drinking at the time.

Which meant... Ye Shiyuan had also been there.

Bai He was furious.

It was one thing for Xu Feng to be unruly, but for Ye Shiyuan to take the lead, this was truly too much.

Bai He quickly without pause go to find Ye Shiyuan and soon saw him returning together with Xue Yanming.

"Greetings, Elder Bai He."

"Sorry for the trouble."

"Although Brother Ye’s cultivation is stronger than mine, his alcohol tolerance is still lacking. Elder Bai He, how about I help you take him back?"

Bai He felt a bit embarrassed and said, "No need, I’ll take him back myself."

"Alright."

After handing Ye Shiyuan over to Bai He, Xue Yanming left.

Bai He then supported Ye Shiyuan. Compared to Xu Feng, he was slightly better off at least he hadn’t completely lost consciousness.

Bai He waved his fingers in front of Ye Shiyuan’s face and said, "Shiyuan, can you walk on your own?"

"Master, why are you here?"

It seemed he really had drunk too much, to even ask such a question.

"I’ll support you. Let’s go back. I’ll talk to you after you sober up."

Even if she said anything now, Ye Shiyuan probably wouldn’t understand or remember it, so it was better to leave it for later.

"Master, you... you must not drink alcohol..."

Bai He frowned. "I don’t drink. You’re the one who drank."

Ye Shiyuan revealed a smile. "Master, alcohol tastes bad... not good."

"You even know it tastes bad, then why did you go drink?"

"Mm, I don’t know." Ye Shiyuan thought for a moment but couldn’t come up with an answer.

He shook his head and looking somewhat innocent.

After much effort, Bai He finally helped Ye Shiyuan back to the room.

He felt that his shoulders were sore.

After he stretching his shoulders a little, Bai He thought that once Ye Shiyuan rested, he could leave.

But unexpectedly, Ye Shiyuan suddenly opened his eyes and sat up.

"Master."

"Mm, what is it?"

"Master." Ye Shiyuan called out softly.

He then grabbed Bai He’s hand and pulled him into his embrace.

Bai He froze completely, not even daring to move.

What was Ye Shiyuan doing? Could it be that after getting drunk, he had revealed his true nature?

No... impossible.

What kind of person was Ye Shiyuan? He was the protagonist of the novel. How could he doubt his character?

"What are you doing?"

"Master, I feel a bit uncomfortable. Can I hold you for a while?"

Bai He was small and when held in Ye Shiyuan’s arms, he was almost entirely enveloped by him, yet it didn’t feel heavy at all.

He only felt that Bai He carried a faint fragrance.
