Chapter 230: Master’s Influence

What should he do?

Ye Shiyuan was really angry.

And this was not the kind of anger that could be resolved with a small lesson.

This was the kind that clearly wanted to kill them on the spot.

"Shiyuan, we have only just met again, and you already want to start fighting and killing? Since when did I ever teach you to be like this?"

Ye Shiyuan was slightly stunned.

His expression dimmed and he looked somewhat wronged.

"This matter ends here. You are not allowed to bring it up again. Do you hear me?"

Ye Shiyuan did not say a word.

He silently recalled the Dawnmaker Sword that had been hanging in the air.

Everyone present was stunned.

Since when had they ever seen Ye Shiyuan be so obedient?

The only person who was not surprised was Xu Feng.

Wasn’t this completely normal?

Ye Shiyuan was afraid of no one except his Master.

"Shiyuan, let’s go. There are too many people here."

There were members of the Night Wind Team and members of the Dragon Slayer Team.

It’s twenty people in total.

Just looking at them was already giving Bai He a headache.

Ye Shiyuan nodded and wrapped an arm around Bai He’s waist before flying off into the distance.

After they landed beneath a large tree, Ye Shiyuan finally let go of him.

Half a year had passed.

Bai He seemed to have grown a little taller and he had become somewhat thinner.

The baby fat that had once been on his cheeks seemed to have faded as well.

But no matter what, his eyes were still the same.

Exactly the same as in Ye Shiyuan’s memories.

"Shiyuan, do not kill people for no reason. While you are in the Spirit Pagoda, I cannot always help you. If you offend too many people, I will worry."

Bai He was wondering how he should explain the things he had said earlier.

Perhaps explaining it this way now would work.

He wondered whether Ye Shiyuan would accept it.

Ye Shiyuan was not the type of person who held grudges.

He should accept it, right?

"Mm, I’ll listen to you."

Ye Shiyuan reached out and gently arranged the somewhat messy strands of hair on Bai He’s forehead.

"Master came this time because you knew I was going to slay the demon dragon?"

Bai He nodded.

"Mm. But my luck was not very good this time."

Bai He honestly explained everything.

He looked somewhat dejected.

"I never expected that as soon as I arrived, before I could even look for you, I would be captured by Senior Brother Dai Mubai."

"Dai Mubai? You mean the former Fifth Martial Uncle?"

Bai He nodded.

"Mm. Shiyuan, you were still very young back then. I didn’t expect you to remember him."

When Ye Shiyuan first entered the sect, Dai Mubai was still in the Lingguang Sect.

However, not long afterward, Dai Mubai was expelled from the sect.

That was also not long after Bai He had arrived at the Lingguang Sect.

"Mm. He locked me up and wouldn’t let me go out, but I still managed to sneak out anyway."

"You should have listened to Fifth Martial Uncle. You could have come out after we finished slaying the demon dragon."

Bai He raised an eyebrow.

"But I came here specifically to help you slay the demon dragon. Besides, I trust you, Shiyuan. I know you can protect me."

A smile appeared on Ye Shiyuan’s face.

Every word Bai He said brought him a kind of happiness he had never experienced before.

"Mm, Master. I can protect you."

"Master, Senior Brother, you two..."

Xu Feng had finally caught up.

He felt as though he had been completely abandoned by the two of them.

When he arrived and saw this scene, he suffered another heavy blow deep within his heart.

He really should not have come here just to make himself miserable.

Bai He immediately pushed Ye Shiyuan away. "Um, Xiao Feng, we left in such a hurry that we forgot to bring you along."

"Master, Junior Brother is not a child anymore. He won’t get lost. There is no need to worry about him so much."

Ye Shiyuan truly was strange sometimes.

The way he targeted Xu Feng often seemed completely unreasonable.

"Senior Brother, I don’t think I’ve offended you, have I?"

"You failed to protect Master. Isn’t that your fault?"

Ye Shiyuan spoke as though it were the most natural thing in the world.

Bai He: ...

Wait a minute.

Had Ye Shiyuan gotten something mixed up?

He was the Master.

He was supposed to be the one protecting others.

He was the one who should be doing the protecting.

Unexpectedly, Xu Feng fell silent.

It seemed that he really believed he had done something wrong.

He truly had failed to protect Bai He.

If Bai He had been bullied by those people, then even dying a hundred times would not have been enough to atone for his mistake.

"Ye Shiyuan."

Following right behind Xu Feng was the entire Dragon Slayer Team.

All ten members had arrived.

Standing at the very front was Ning Rongrong.

She looked at Ye Shiyuan with a mixture of embarrassment and anger.

The sight of him carrying away a young man in his arms had clearly infuriated her.

She strode over with large steps, her face filled with anger. "Ye Shiyuan, these two people are not members of the Spirit Pagoda at all."

"It has nothing to do with you."

"How can it have nothing to do with me..."

Ning Rongrong nearly blurted out her relationship with Ning Huasang, but in the end, she held herself back and did not say it.

"Outsiders trespassing into the Spirit Pagoda is a serious offense. It’s not as if you don’t know that."

"Even if the Pagoda Master found out, he would not dare touch him. Why are you only humiliating yourself? And stop following me. I am not on the same path as you."
