Chapter 162: A Confession Revealed

He would absolutely not allow something like that to happen again.

"It’s precisely because so much has happened that I want to stay by your side and go through it all with you," Su Yuluan insisted stubbornly.

After returning, she had thought about many things.

Perhaps Ye Shiyuan didn’t like her now, but if she stayed by his side long enough, maybe...

She had already investigated that the reason Ye Shiyuan valued Bai He so much only because Bai He had once saved him and if she could get a similar chance to save him, to make him see her in a new light, wouldn’t things become different?

"I can handle many things on my own. There’s really no need to add another burden. Miss Su, please take care of yourself."

"You actually called me a burden." Su Yuluan pointed toward Bai He’s room and said angrily, "What about him? Elder Bai He? He’s not even as good as me."

"Master is Master, and you are you. They cannot be compared. Miss Su, how can you even put yourself on the same level as my Master?"

Ye Shiyuan spoke very directly, even with clear anger.

"My Master is not a burden. He is always careful not to cause trouble for us, he always considerate, and he always know what I and my junior brother need."

Bai He treated people sincerely and never asking for anything in return.

As for the woman in front of him, her intentions were so obvious and so direct, how could she be compared to Bai He?

"Perhaps he isn’t. Perhaps he’s just very good at hiding it. Maybe, just like me, he also has his own motives."

"Impossible." Ye Shiyuan rejected the idea without even thinking.

Bai He absolutely had no ulterior motives toward him.

"Host, go out already. Don’t just stand here watching."

Bai He carefully opened the door and peeked outside through a narrow crack.

Sneaky and cautious.

This was clearly his own place, but if he watched openly, wouldn’t that feel a bit inappropriate?

"Don’t talk."

"Host, do you want me to give you a hand?"

Before Bai He could react, he suddenly felt a push on his back and stumbled straight out the door.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and didn’t fall flat onto the ground.

Mo Zhu!

That was way too much.

Ye Shiyuan immediately rushed over to Bai He. "Master, are you alright?"

Bai He was extremely embarrassed.

Being caught spying like this, it was truly mortifying.

"I just remembered, I still need to practice my sword. You two go ahead, talk, talk."

He glanced at Su Yuluan and quietly tried to leave, but Ye Shiyuan grabbed his wrist and not letting him go.

Bai He was stunned.

Under his shocked gaze, Ye Shiyuan grabbed his hand and pulled him in front of Su Yuluan.

"Take a good look. The person I like is my Master. Miss Su, don’t come to bother me again. The only one I like is my Master. No matter how good you are, I won’t even spare you a glance."

He spoke with complete seriousness.

Perhaps in this world, there were people who are more beautiful and better than Bai He.

But the heart only falls once.

It wouldn’t start beating for someone else just because another person was better.

Bai He’s eyes widened.

What was he supposed to do?

What should he do?!

"Shiyuan, it shouldn’t be like this. How could you possibly like someone and that person is a men?"

Yes, this was Bai He’s question too.

Wasn’t Ye Shiyuan supposed to be the cold and indifferent type of protagonist?

Why would he like him?

This kind of trouble was something Bai He truly couldn’t handle.

Ye Shiyuan’s hand was still gripping his wrist.

Bai He couldn’t even run away if he wanted to.

He didn’t like Su Yuluan and he did want Ye Shiyuan to end up with a simple kind hearted girl, but he definitely didn’t want to drag himself into this.

He only wanted to live a carefree and laid-back life.

"Miss Su, I know you like Shiyuan very, very much. But feelings can’t be forced. If he doesn’t like you, then he simply doesn’t. From the past until now, it’s always been the same. If he truly could like you, things wouldn’t have turned out like this."

Su Yuluan should be able to understand what he meant.

But the moment Bai He finished speaking, he was met with a resentful glare.

She stared at him fiercely. "Shut up. You got close to Shiyuan, can you really say you had no motive?"

"I..." Bai He hesitated guiltily.

If he really had to say it, then yes, he did have a motive.

He just wanted to rely on Ye Shiyuan to survive.

"See? You have nothing to say. You do have a motive."

Just as Bai He was about to explain, Ye Shiyuan had already pulled him behind himself. "Miss Su, you may leave now."

Ye Shiyuan waved his hand and dragged Bai He away.

When Su Yuluan tried to chase after them, she found herself blocked by something.

Ye Shiyuan had set up a barrier.

Bai He didn’t know where Ye Shiyuan was taking him, only that he seemed a little angry.

"Shiyuan, if you have something to say, just say it. Don’t bottle it up."

"Master, when you saved me... did you really have a motive?"

Just now, he had hesitated.

When Su Yuluan asked that question, Ye Shiyuan had thought Bai He would answer without hesitation, no.

That he had saved him for no other reason.

In the Lingguang Sect, Ye Shiyuan had already seen too much scheming and manipulation.

Without value, one would be discarded.

If Bai He truly had a motive... then one day, when that motive was fulfilled, would he also be abandoned?

"Shiyuan, I can tell you, but you mustn’t get angry."

"Master, speak first."

Bai He understood what Ye Shiyuan meant, he wanted him to speak first and only then would he decide whether or not to be angry.

So, Bai He chose to be honest.
