Chapter 131: Unjust Blame

"Junior Brother, go out first. I want to speak with Master alone for a moment."

Xu Feng nodded. "Alright."

These days, he found himself more and more inclined to listen to Ye Shiyuan.

The atmosphere instantly became even stiffer than before.

Cough, cough!

Bai He took the initiative to break the silence and spoke, "Shiyuan, why don’t you go out and cultivate first? There’s nothing for you to do here."

"Master, give it to me."

"Give what?"

"You know what."

Although Bai He hadn’t reacted just now, he now understood.

While gritting his teeth, he handed over the two erotic illustration books to Ye Shiyuan. "So you want this?"

Ye Shiyuan’s face turned cold as he instantly destroyed the two books right in front of Bai He.

It was the first time Bai He had seen him so angry and it was honestly a bit frightening.

Bai He took a step back. "You’ve already burned them. Can you leave now?"

Ye Shiyuan lifted his head.

Those dark eyes of his were like a bottomless abyss, making Bai He feel extremely uncomfortable, uneasy, and even a little panicked.

What exactly did that look in Ye Shiyuan’s eyes mean?

Could it be that even this wasn’t enough for him to let things go?

[ The protagonist’s corruption value has been increased by 10%. ]

What was going on?

Bai He nearly screamed.

Heavens! How could this happen?

Just because of this... Bai He looked at the erotic illustrations on the ground that hadn’t been completely burned.

Was Ye Shiyuan’s corruption value really increasing because of this?

Bai He felt utterly baffled.

Taking the blame for this was simply unbelievably unlucky.

He was absolutely the unluckiest person in the world.

So many people misunderstood him, Ye Shiyuan was this angry and he couldn’t even properly defend himself.

"Master, don’t look at these kinds of things anymore in the future. What Junior Brother said at times is quite right, you really should focus on improving your cultivation."

Hey!

Bai He angrily sat down on the ground and Mo Zhu appeared at that moment.

"Host, if you want to cry, then just cry."

"I don’t want to cry. They can’t even see it, what’s the point of crying?"

If he was going to cry, it should at least be when they could see it. Only then would it have any meaning.

"Host, this isn’t your fault. You need to regain your confidence. Everyone will forget about this soon enough."

Bai He had never expected that the Bai He from the original story had actually done something like this.

"Right now... I’m just a stain."

He was now someone covered in stains.

No one would believe him anymore, not even Ye Shiyuan.

"Didn’t you say that Ye Shiyuan likes me? Then why can’t I feel it? If he likes me, how can he not believe me?"

"Host, you can’t blame the protagonist for this. The evidence is conclusive, it can only be something you did yourself. There’s basically no possibility that someone else framed you. How about this, Host, why don’t you just frame Su Yuluan instead? Say she put them in your room."

Bai He was speechless.

What kind of terrible idea was that?

"Why would he frame her? She can’t even get to Baize Peak right now. If he tried to frame her, no one would believe it. Besides, how could he do something like that?"

He was someone who wanted to live until the very end.

In novels, those who survive to the end are usually not the kind of people who frame others.

So Bai He firmly rejected such behavior.

"Then, Host, you should hurry up and tidy things up. It’s getting late, you should rest."

Bai He felt speechless.

After something like this had happened, how could he possibly sleep?

Still, he quickly tidied up his things and then lay down on the bed.

Whether he could sleep or not was one thing, but from now on, he absolutely had to prevent things like this from happening again.

Starting tomorrow, he would thoroughly inspect everything in this room, inside and out.

If there were any more "dangerous items," he could deal with them in time.

That way, something this embarrassing wouldn’t happen again.

Meanwhile, it was already late at night and Ye Shiyuan was still practicing his swordsmanship.

Xu Feng had originally been practicing alongside him, but he was starting to feel sleepy.

"Senior Brother, you should go rest early. It’s getting late."

"If you’re tired, then go rest. There’s no need to mind me."

"You used to be diligent, but not to this extent! Could it be because of Master’s situation, so you’re...? Master definitely isn’t that kind of person. Even if he used to be, I can guarantee that ever since I’ve known him, he wouldn’t do something like that."

Ye Shiyuan didn’t believe it either.

"Mm."

"If that’s the case, then why are you still angry? Go back and rest. I saw that the Third Elder and Fourth Elder were quite furious, I just don’t know how they’ll punish Master tomorrow. Do you think Master will be caned tomorrow?"

Ye Shiyuan’s heart skipped a beat.

He himself had endured plenty of suffering before and the Lingguang Sect certainly had no shortage of ways to punish people.

With Bai He’s small body, how could he possibly endure it?

But then, on second thought, Bai He’s status was different from everyone else’s.

He was an elder of the Lingguang Sect and the last disciple of the sect’s founding ancestor.

There shouldn’t be any major issues.

"Senior Brother, so tomorrow I think you should go to Yaoxing Peak with Master. At the very least, you can keep an eye on things."

Xu Feng wouldn’t be going.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to, he just knew that even if he went, he wouldn’t be of much help, so it was better not to go.

Bai He was in a daze.

The next day, he still had to go to Yaoxing Peak.
