Chapter 134: Master Returns

When Ye Shiyuan grabbed it like that, his expression immediately changed.

As he endured the sharp pain, he quickly pulled his hand back.

Although it was a very normal reaction, Ye Shiyuan froze.

"Master?"

"Shiyuan, if you have something to say, just say it. I can hear you."

It hurt so much.

Bai He forced himself to remain calm, though his expression looked unpleasant.

But in Ye Shiyuan’s eyes, these actions carried an entirely different meaning.

It seemed he had truly messed things up.

Ye Shiyuan had always thought that after coming to Baize Peak, he had found an unprecedented warmth.

And now, that small bit of warmth seemed to have been completely ruined by him.

"Master, I’m sorry."

Regardless of whether Bai He would forgive him or not, Ye Shiyuan still apologized.

"Shiyuan, don’t be so serious. What exactly happened? Tell me."

[ The protagonist’s corruption value has increased by 15%. ]

[ Current corruption is now at 15%. ]

As soon as the black crow’s warning ended, Bai He completely panicked.

Who had he offended...?

He hadn’t done anything, he had just been sitting here for a short while.

How had things suddenly turned out like this?

How had it escalated so seriously?

"Master, can I still stay at Baize Peak?"

Ye Shiyuan asked cautiously.

Perhaps, like this, he was no longer welcome here.

After all, he was only a first-generation disciple, yet he had dared to reprimand an elder.

It was only natural for Bai He to be angry.

"You’re leaving?"

Why was he leaving? Did he dislike him now?

Could it be...

Bai He glanced at his own hand.

Was it because when Ye Shiyuan tried to hold his hand earlier, he had pulled away, and so Ye Shiyuan became upset?

Surely he wouldn’t get angry over something so small, right?

Bai He clenched his palm.

No matter, if that was the reason, then it would be easy to fix.

In an instant, Bai He grabbed Ye Shiyuan’s hand. "Shiyuan, don’t go."

"Master? Is it because I’m leaving that Master is forcing himself like this?"

Bai He shook his head. "I don’t know why you want to leave. If it’s because I was curious and read those books, then I promise I won’t read them again. And Shiyuan, you have no idea how miserable these past few days have been..."

Bai He’s eyes immediately reddened as if he were about to cry. "My hands are even swollen."

Mo Zhu whose watching from the side was already speechless.

Bai He’s ability to cry on cue was simply incredible.

"What happened to your hand?"

"Wasn’t it because my Senior Brother punished me? He made me copy the Book of the Way and Its Virtue one hundred times. Look at my hands! They hurt so much now. I only finished writing today and was planning to come out for some fresh air, and then you suddenly said you were leaving."

Tears fell drop by drop from his eyes and Ye Shiyuan immediately felt that he was a deeply guilty person.

"Master, why didn’t you tell us?"

"Even if I told you, it wouldn’t help. It was my Senior Brother’s order, I couldn’t have you write it for me. Shiyuan, don’t leave, alright?"

"Master, I never intended to leave. I’ve said it before... if you don’t ask me to leave, then I won’t go anywhere."

How could he possibly let him leave?

Did this mean that Ye Shiyuan would stay here for his entire life?

That would simply be the best possible outcome.

"Master, let me massage your arms. They should stop hurting soon. Also... I’m sorry."

"There’s no need to apologize. This matter has nothing to do with you."

"It was my fault. I was the one who told the Fourth Elder that Master likes reading storybooks," Ye Shiyuan said hesitantly.

Bai He was stunned.

No wonder his senior sister and senior brother had suddenly come to Baize Peak for no reason and they had come looking as if they already knew everything.

So someone had reported him.

Bai He had thought that even if someone did report him, it would never have occurred to him that the person would be Ye Shiyuan.

But now, Ye Shiyuan had actually admitted it.

Just as Bai He was about to say something, a loud bell suddenly rang, interrupting his thoughts.

His expression immediately turned serious.

"Shiyuan, you and Xiao Feng prepare yourselves. We’re going down the mountain."

Even Ye Shiyuan who had been in the sect for many years had never heard such a bell before.

Bai He quickly ran into his room.

"Host, what are you doing?"

"I’m taking my finished work down the mountain. Today is a good opportunity to hand it over to my Senior Brother."

A trace of dissatisfaction flashed through Bai He’s heart.

After tidying everything up, he stored it in his storage bracelet, then took Ye Shiyuan and Xu Feng down from Baize Peak.

Not only that, it seemed as though something major had happened throughout the entire Baize Peak.

All the disciples were heading toward Yaoxing Peak.

Even the atmosphere outside Yaoxing Peak felt completely different.

But Bai He was extremely happy.

He ran into Yaoxing Peak.

Inside, everyone had already arrived and he was the last to come.

"Master!" Bai He immediately ran up toward Yi Xing.

This was the true ultimate powerhouse in the entire story.

"How many years has it been? I can barely recognize you anymore!" Yi Xing looked at Bai He with curiosity.

When he had brought him back to the Lingguang Sect, Bai He had only been this tiny.

Now, he had grown into a young man.

"Master, where did you go? You left me all alone in the sect."

Bai He’s eyes reddened, though his tears did not fall. Yet, this appearance alone made him seem incomparably pitiful.

"Alright, alright, don’t cry."

"Oh right, I came down the mountain today to give something to my Senior Brother..."

With a wave of his hand, Bai He took out all the copies of the Book of the Way and Its Virtue he had written over the past few days and piled them up there.
