Chapter 276: Unexpected Rewards and Missions

"Host, don’t be angry. It may not be useful for you, but it’s useful for other people. You’ll definitely have a use for it in the future."

Even if Bai He felt that the item was not particularly useful to him, what else could he do besides put it away?

He could only keep it.

Thinking about it carefully, it was actually not bad.

If someday one of the important characters were to die because of a mistake he made, he would still have a chance to make up for it.

After resting for a while, Bai He headed to Yaoxing Peak and roughly reported everything that had happened over the past several days to Yao Xiangli.

"What is the ghost race’s attitude toward this matter?"

"They seem quite cooperative. It’s just that there is a traitor among the ghost race. I don’t think the entire ghost race should be implicated because of a single traitor. That wouldn’t be fair."

Yao Xiangli’s expression became somewhat inscrutable.

Looking at Bai He, he slowly said, "Since that is what you think, then I will leave this matter to you. I’ll give you three months. Bring Gui Baozhou back to the Lingguang Sect."

Bai He could only grit his teeth and agree.

"Yes, Senior Brother."

"And there is one more matter that I need to leave to you as well."

Bai He felt utterly miserable.

He had only just returned.

He had wanted to rest properly for a while.

Why was every task being assigned to him?

Helpless, he could only ask, "Senior Brother, go ahead."

"There’s a message from Yaowang Pavilion."

As soon as Yao Xiangli finished speaking, a letter flew into Bai He’s hands.

He caught the envelope and opened it curiously.

"So this is a letter from Sister Yao Guang. Senior Brother, did you give it to the wrong person? Wouldn’t it be better to give this letter directly to Second Senior Brother?"

"Would he accept it?"

Well...

Most likely not.

Bai He opened the letter and began reading.

"But if we don’t tell him about this matter, then when Second Senior Brother asks about it later, are you going to explain it to him yourself, Senior Brother?"

"Didn’t I just say that I’m leaving this matter to you?"

Only then did Bai He realize that Yao Xiangli had dug a huge pit for him to fall into.

"Senior Brother, that’s really unethical."

"Your skin is thick enough. Leaving this matter to you puts my mind completely at ease."

When Bai He heard those words, he subconsciously reached up and touched his face.

Only afterward did he realize that something about that statement seemed off.

Speechless, he curled his lips.

How sinister.

"I’ll leave this letter to you. Not only must you make sure Second Junior Brother sees it, you must also make him believe the contents of the letter. Understood?"

Bai He felt an enormous amount of pressure.

"Yes, Senior Brother."

"Good. There’s nothing else for you to do. You may leave."

Bai He walked out of Yaoxing Peak looking thoroughly dejected.

"Host, what’s there to worry about? Just deliver it directly to the Second Elder."

Bai He sighed.

"The problem is that those two lack trust between them. Simply delivering the letter won’t help..."

Even if Dan Zhu saw it, he would most likely assume that everyone had joined forces to deceive him.

There was no way he would believe it.

If the matter were really that simple, Yao Xiangli would have handled it himself.

Why would he hand it over to Bai He?

"Then, Host, why not use another method to make him believe it? For example, something involving dreams."

Bai He stroked his chin thoughtfully.

The more he considered it, the more feasible it sounded.

He nodded, then quickly shook his head.

"What if he discovers it?"

If he found out, things would become even worse.

At that point, Dan Zhu would never believe anything again.

"The protagonist’s dream entering technique is unparalleled. Why don’t you ask him for help?"

"Then why don’t I know that technique?"

Bai He found it completely unfair.

Why was it that Ye Shiyuan knew everything, while he seemed to know nothing?

"Host, have you forgotten? This world is a world of male oriented novel."

Bai He immediately fell silent.

That was true.

In a male oriented novel, wasn’t the protagonist supposed to be good at everything?

Everyone else existed merely as supporting characters.

At best, Bai He was just a slightly more important supporting character.

Thinking about that, Bai He could not help but let out a long sigh.

Then he turned around and left.

He decided to go see what Ye Shiyuan was doing.

Other than cultivating, sleeping, and occasionally eating something, it seemed that there was not much else for him to do.

When Bai He returned to Baize Peak, he saw Ye Shiyuan lying on the branch of a large tree.

His lightness of body was like that of a swallow, nothing could be more fitting than this.

He raised his head and looked up, thinking about whether he should disturb him.

"Mo Zhu, I just thought of a very interesting scene."

"Hmm?"

"You say, if I call out Shiyuan at this moment, would he be startled by me, then fall from the tree, and after that, I would perform a heroic rescue of the beauty?"

Yes, it was indeed a heroic rescue of the beauty.

He himself was the hero.

"Host, why not try it?" Mo Zhu suggested.

Bai He also felt that this suggestion was very good.

After slightly clearing his throat, he called out, "Shiyuan?"

Ye Shiyuan on the tree branch opened his eyes, then with a swift turn of his body, he flew down from the tree and landed in front of him.

The movement was completed in one fluid motion.

Bai He: ...

He looked at him with a trace of disappointment.

This was not how it was supposed to be.

"Master, what is wrong?"
