Chapter 277: The Wine That Changes Fate

The disappointment in his eyes did not escape Ye Shiyuan’s gaze.

It seemed he had not done anything at all, he just resting here for a short while.

"Nothing, I just have something to talk to you about. Do you have time?"

"Yes, I do."

Putting aside his earlier sense of disappointment, Bai He walked while speaking, "Shiyuan, your dream entering technique should be cultivated quite well, right?"

"Yes, I can use it. Is Master planning to enter whose dream?"

"Second Senior Brother."

Ye Shiyuan’s brows slowly furrowed.

The surroundings seemed to become slightly quieter.

It was unclear what Bai He meant.

"Second Elder is very strong and difficult to approach. I would need to get close to him without him noticing in order to use the dream entering technique, so this is almost an impossible task."

Ye Shiyuan voiced his concerns.

It was not that he was unwilling to help Bai He.

However, if Second Elder discovered it and realized it was Ye Shiyuan, he would inevitably suspect that Bai He had instructed him.

At that time, he might be punished.

"This is indeed a troublesome matter. Let me think about it myself."

"Master, why do you insist on using the dream entering technique on Second Elder?"

It was not without reason.

Why would Bai He suddenly have such an idea?

He had just returned from Yaoxing Peak and it was likely related to Yao Xiangli.

Ye Shiyuan made his guess.

"It’s all because of the messy matters between him and Sister Yao Guang. As the saying goes, one who receives a favor owes a debt. Previously, when I returned, I passed by the Nianbadu Ancient Town with Third Senior Sister and bought quite a lot of clothes from her. They were extremely expensive. She insisted that Second Senior Brother personally deliver the silver payment to her, but how could Second Senior Brother possibly go? And I do not have that much money either."

Bai He spoke a little softly.

In the past, he had thought he was quite wealthy, but now he truly felt poor.

He could not even afford clothes.

"I think Senior Yao Guang simply wants Second Elder to go. The money itself is not important."

Ye Shiyuan had seen through the key point.

"Look at this letter."

Ye Shiyuan took it and glanced at it.

"Senior Yao Guang is getting married?"

"Yes. She did send the letter to the Lingguang Sect. This marriage is either real or fake. If Second Senior Brother goes, then it is fake. If he does not go, then it is real."

Bai He knew that Yao Guang was making a gamble and this was exactly what troubled him.

"If I give this letter to Second Senior Brother, he definitely will not believe it. Shiyuan, use your dream entering technique to let Second Senior Brother see how painful he would be after Yao Guang marries someone else..."

Ye Shiyuan nodded.

"Then I will try."

"Thank you, Shiyuan."

The next day, Bai He personally went to find Dan Zhu.

He still looked like an elderly man with a white beard.

At his age, he was likely already in his eighties or nineties.

How could he possibly be a match for the youthful and charming Yao Guang?

After silently complaining in his heart, Bai He smiled and walked in through the entrance.

He happened to see him teaching his disciples.

When Dan Zhu noticed Bai He arriving, he instructed his senior disciple to temporarily guide the other students and brought Bai He into the room.

"Second Senior Brother, I have always known that you like drinking, so this time I brought you two jars of fine wine. Please try it."

Dan Zhu glanced at Bai He.

Looking at his smiling expression, he could not tell what he was really planning.

He smelled the aroma of the wine and nodded slightly.

"This is indeed good wine. I just do not know if I am fortunate enough to enjoy it."

"Second Senior Brother, this was originally prepared for you. Just drink it with ease."

"I know your usual behavior. How could I not? Do you need something from me?"

It was clear at a glance.

He would not bring wine for no reason.

"Second Senior Brother, how can you think of me like that? I only feel a little guilty about what happened last time. I have no other intentions. Moreover, we are from the same sect. You have always treated me so well. How could I possibly repay kindness with betrayal?"

Bai He looked wronged and began to tears welling up in his eyes.

They swirled in his eyes, yet refused to fall, making Dan Zhu feel an immediate headache.

"Alright, alright, I’ll take the wine. Don’t cry, don’t cry..."

Dan Zhu was truly afraid of him.

After holding back his tears, Bai He immediately switched back to a smile.

"Your face changes so fast, I truly cannot even compare."

"Hehe, Second Senior Brother, try a sip first. I’ll go first."

Afraid that Dan Zhu would become suspicious, Bai He poured him a cup, then poured another for himself.

Just as he was about to drink it in one gulp, Dan Zhu snatched the cup from his hand and drank it instead.

"You little boy don’t properly cultivate, always running around, and now you even want to drink alcohol. Who taught you that?"

"Senior Brother, I’m not little anymore!"

Bai He said slightly angrily.

H was almost eighteen years old already.

How could he still be considered a child?

Dan Zhu sized him up from head to toe.

Indeed, he had grown a little taller than before, and the childishness on his face had also faded somewhat.

"Hmph. Now that the wine has been drunk, if there is nothing else, you can leave."

"So heartless."

Bai He threw out those two words and left in anger.

Although he left in a bad mood, he still felt relieved.

His task was considered complete.

Dan Zhu had drunk that cup of wine and that was enough.
