Chapter 249: Return to Yaoxing Peak

"That’s not necessary. This one is enough."

Any more than that and he definitely would not be able to afford them.

Bai He was well aware of his own circumstances.

He remembered that Dan Zhu had specifically warned him before.

Under no circumstances was he to use Dan Zhu’s name to gain benefits from Yao Guang.

Besides, he would feel guilty asking Yao Guang to simply give him all these clothes.

How could he possibly have the nerve to do something like that?

"Isn’t that the truth..."

Two people entered while chatting and laughing together.

Bai He turned around and immediately saw the pair standing in the doorway.

Yao Guang was still dressed in her striking red robes.

She remained just as dazzling as ever.

Her gaze swept over Bai He from head to toe before she nodded in satisfaction.

"Mm. Now that you’ve grown up a little, you’ve become even more handsome and refined. You’re no longer that little child you used to be."

"I can’t compare to you Sister Yao Guang. You’re the very picture of elegance and grace."

Even now, every time Bai He saw Yao Guang, he could not stop himself from staring.

She was simply too beautiful.

As for his foolish Second Senior Brother, he still had not come to apologize.

Where exactly did that confidence come from?

A woman as wonderful as this could very well be swept off her feet by someone else one day.

Forget it.

Bai He silently made up his mind.

After returning this time, he was definitely going to play matchmaker for once.

No matter what method he had to use, he would make Dan Zhu personally come here and apologize to Yao Guang.

"Have you made your selection yet?"

A trace of gentle delight appeared in Yao Guang’s eyes.

She slightly inclined her head and asked, "Have you chosen?"

Bai He nodded.

"Mm, I’ve already chosen. This one will do."

"That’s all?"

Yao Guang looked somewhat surprised.

Bai He had only selected a single outfit.

How could that possibly be enough for someone his age?

Bai He awkwardly scratched his head.

"I came here in a hurry and didn’t bring much money with me. This one is enough."

Bai He was already completely satisfied.

"You’re really not greedy at all."

Yao Guang slowly walked forward and turned to glance at Zhou Yifei.

"A’Fei, what do you think?"

"Pick a few more for him. As for the money, have Second Senior Brother come and pay you later."

She paused briefly before adding, "Put it on credit."

Bai He stared at Zhou Yifei in disbelief.

He had always thought his Third Senior Sister was a very honest person.

Who would have guessed that she was even worse than he was?

"Then it’s settled. Bring over every outfit available in his size."

"Yes, Pavilion Master."

Bai He returned loaded down with purchases.

The only thing he was worried about was how he was supposed to explain all of this to Dan Zhu afterward.

On the way back, Zhou Yifei suddenly spoke.

"Junior Brother."

"Third Senior Sister, is something the matter?"

"Since you’ve accepted all those clothes, then you can be the one to speak to Second Senior Brother about it."

"No..."

Bai He was left speechless.

That was not how this was supposed to work.

It was true that he had accepted the clothes, but the two of them had practically joined forces to give them to him.

And now they wanted him to handle the aftermath himself.

Dan Zhu normally had an excellent temperament.

However, whenever the subject of Yao Guang came up, he always gave people the feeling that he might explode in anger at any moment.

"Third Senior Sister, you should be the one to tell him. You’ve known Second Senior Brother much longer than I have."

"Junior Brother, Second Senior Brother dotes on you the most. If you’re the one who tells him, he definitely won’t do anything to you. As for Yao Guang and your Second Senior Brother’s situation, I’m leaving it in your hands. You’ve accepted so many benefits from her. Shouldn’t you contribute a little effort in return?"

Bai He: ...

He did want to bring the two of them together.

But he had never imagined doing it in a way like this.

After returning, Bai He first went to Yaoxing Peak.

There, he saw a large crowd gathered around something.

The people inside seemed to be discussing something.

Curious, Bai He looked over.

The voice coming from within sounded incredibly familiar.

"That’s basically how it works. Well? Have you learned it?"

"Xu Feng, honestly... even without Master by your side, you’ve become this impressive. How are the rest of us supposed to live with ourselves?"

Upon hearing those words, Xu Feng was immensely pleased.

He confidently brushed back the hair on his forehead and declared, "Naturally, it’s because I’m extraordinarily talented."

"Xiao Feng."

Xu Feng froze.

Someone was calling his name?

That in itself was not strange.

What was strange was how familiar that voice sounded.

It felt as though he had heard it somewhere before.

In full view of everyone, Bai He descended gracefully through the air into the center of the crowd.

The moment he landed beside Xu Feng, he grabbed his ear and twisted it.

"What exactly are you doing?"

"Who are you?"

Xu Feng had not even gotten a clear look at who had arrived.

All he knew was that someone had suddenly grabbed and twisted his ear.

That was truly going too far.

Bai He’s voice lowered as he said, "You can’t even recognize my voice anymore? Looks like you’re asking for a beating."

After saying that, Bai He released his ear.

Xu Feng curiously raised his head to look.

Although Bai He had changed somewhat, his facial features were still largely the same.

It did not take long for Xu Feng to recognize him.

"Master?"

The surrounding disciples immediately dropped to their knees and saluted.

"Greetings, Fifth Elder!"

"Alright, alright, disperse. Everyone, disperse."
