Chapter 263: Secret Chamber

If Ye Shiyuan found out, he would probably go mad.

Bai He pressed his lips together, his expression carrying a hint of melancholy, and in the end he still did not tell him.

"Master, are you unhappy? I am sorry. Because of me, I have dragged you into such trouble!"

Ye Shiyuan looked at Bai He’s expression and spoke with guilt.

Bai He shook his head.

"It is nothing serious. I am not unhappy."

Bai He was clearly full of worries.

Ye Shiyuan could see it, but since Bai He insisted that he was fine, he had no choice but to stop asking.

At night, Ye Xingyun personally brought over what Ye Shiyuan had requested.

When Ye Shiyuan received it with his own hands, many memories surfaced in his mind, and his eyes turned gentle.

Bai He stood beside him without saying a word.

On the other hand, Ye Xingyun naively believed that his relationship with Ye Shiyuan would improve.

"Big Brother, since Mother has already given you Second Mother’s ashes, can you acknowledge me as your younger brother?"

Ye Shiyuan carefully put the item away.

His expression remained cold and he did not respond.

"Big Brother..."

Ye Shiyuan walked into his room and closed the door.

Bai He did not follow him inside either.

At this moment, he probably needed to be alone.

Moreover, he still had other matters to ask Ye Xingyun about.

"Cough, Ye Xingyun."

"Fairy little sister, you are looking for me, do you have something to ask?"

"Come over here, I want to ask you a few things. Does your mother have any kind of secret chamber or something like that?"

Ye Xingyun thought about it for a moment, then nodded. "Yes, there is. But I heard that inside are all my mother’s treasured possessions. Normally, apart from her, no one is allowed to enter. Even the key is kept in my mother’s hands."

"Oh, right. Also, every time my mother becomes especially angry, she will go to that secret chamber. Maybe seeing those treasures makes her feel a little better. But there is something strange. The door of the secret chamber has a special pattern on it. If I look at it for too long, my head starts to feel dizzy."

Ye Xingyun had finally said something useful.

Bai He frowned slightly, carefully thinking it over. "Alright, I understand."

"Fairy little sister, why are you asking about this?"

Bai He’s expression became a little complicated.

In truth, Ye Xingyun actually liked Ye Shiyuan very much, or rather, he felt a bit of jealousy.

Although Ye Shiyuan had never lived well, he was truly outstanding.

From childhood to adulthood, he always stood out brightly wherever he went.

He even later received guidance from an expert and entered the path of cultivation.

Ye Xingyun was jealous of Ye Shiyuan, but it was at least a benign kind of jealousy.

He never had any bad intentions because of it.

In fact, he deeply hoped that Ye Shiyuan would one day look at him and acknowledge him as his younger brother.

However, that was almost impossible.

"Aren’t you curious about what exactly is inside that door?"

"My mother will get angry."

Of course Ye Xingyun had been curious before.

There was even a time when he secretly took the key and tried to open the door.

After that... after that, Ye Xingyun could no longer remember what had happened.

"Then forget it. Do not make your mother angry."

"Fairy little sister..."

"Do not call me fairy little sister anymore." Bai He had momentarily forgotten to correct it.

Ye Xingyun paused for a moment. "If I do not call you fairy little sister, what should I call you? Should I call you sister-in-law?"

Bai He’s cheeks turned slightly red. "What are you talking about?"

"You and big brother, aren’t you..."

Bai He said angrily, "Even if that is the case, you still cannot say that. When did Shiyuan ever acknowledge you as his younger brother?"

Bai He retorted.

"Alright then, Fairy little sister, I will be leaving now."

Ye Xingyun still did not change his way of addressing him.

Bai He watched him leave and let out a sigh.

"Host, I just probed part of Ye Xingyun’s memories and found that he has been to the secret chamber before. However, afterwards his memory was erased using a special method. Host, I can help restore his memory."

"Forget it. No matter what, Princess Guantao is still his mother. Asking Ye Xingyun to go against his own mother is somewhat cruel. I will go there myself."

Mo Zhu added again.

"System shows that this trip involves danger. Host must proceed with caution."

Since Princess Guantao was able to imprison Ye Shiyuan’s mother’s spirit soul, this meant that even if she was not the only one involved, there were definitely others assisting her, and that person was not weak.

"Either way, I still have to go."

Worst case, if I encounter danger, I will just escape using Beast God Shuttle.

"Understood, Host."

It was already deep into the night.

Bai He jumped out of his room window and flew directly toward the direction of the Princess Manor.

Only now did he clearly realize that the entire Princess Manor seemed to be wrapped in a faint layer of resentful energy.

No wonder when they had come earlier, even Ye Shiyuan had not noticed anything.

"Host, below is the Princess Manor. Just follow the direction where the resentful energy is strongest, and you will find the secret chamber that Ye Xingyun mentioned."

Bai He nodded and landed inside the Princess Manor when no one was around.

The direction from which the resentful energy was coming was actually a study room.

Bai He pushed the door open and there was no one inside.

From the outside, this study did not look strange at all, but there was a painting of a beautiful woman hanging inside.

Behind that painting, within the wall, was the source of the resentful energy.

However, there was no visible door here, let alone any strange pattern!
