Chapter 292: Heartbound Platform Trial Begins

Ye Shiyuan quickly ran forward.

The entrance from earlier had already disappeared.

"Master?!"

"So that is your master? He went into the Heartbound Platform alone. Do you know what he might encounter inside?"

Ye Shiyuan forced himself to calm down.

"What do you mean?"

"Under normal circumstances, the Heartbound Platform trial is meant for two people. However, it is also possible for one person to enter alone. But the one who enters alone must face double the trials... he went in alone, which means he will have to endure both people’s trials at the same time."

Ye Shiyuan frowned.

"I need to go in and find him?"

"Aren’t you supposed to have other important matters to attend to?"

"My master must have followed me here. He is not someone who is curious about everything. He must have thought I was inside, which is why he went in."

Earlier, when he called out to him, he clearly did not intend to enter.

It was obvious that things must have unfolded exactly as he suspected.

"Please continue handling the matter I assigned to you. We will talk about everything else after I return."

"Why waste time on Lingguang Sect matters?"

Ye Shiyuan replied without hesitation.

"He is different."

He was different from anyone else in Lingguang Sect.

...

Bai He arrived in a place he had never been before.

His mind was still slightly dazed.

"Mo Zhu!"

"Host, the protagonist has blocked information, causing some deviation in the data. Please do not be angry."

How could Bai He not be angry?

"You... what am I supposed to do now? I have to pass a trial meant for two people all by myself. If you don’t want me to live well, just say it directly. There is no need to beat around the bush."

Mo Zhu’s voice even sounded a little aggrieved.

"Host, please do not be angry. Besides, being angry will not help. If you fail the trial, you will not be able to leave this place."

"Why do I feel like you are even a little pleased about this?"

Mo Zhu quickly denied it.

"Of course not. Host, you and I are one. If you are well, I will naturally be well too. If anything happens to you, I will also be very worried."

Bai He figured that he would just temporarily trust it.

A streak of red light entered the depths of his heart, which meant that Bai He’s trial was about to begin.

If there had been another person beside him, there would have been two streaks of red light.

Clearly, now...

Everything had fallen onto him alone.

He immediately let out a resigned sigh.

Forget it, forget it.

He could only blame his own bad luck.

Let the storm come even more violently then.

"Master."

Bai He heard Ye Shiyuan’s voice again beside his ear.

Was it really Ye Shiyuan, or was it someone he encountered because the trial had begun and he was now in a different space?

He was not sure.

Ye Shiyuan held his hand.

"Master."

He called Bai He’s name again.

Bai He looked at him with a somewhat blank expression.

"Shiyuan, are you real or fake?"

If he was real, this was too convincing.

Who could tell the difference?

Not only the face, even the expression and personality were exactly the same.

"Master, I am of course real."

"Then why is there no red light on you?"

Ye Shiyuan pressed his lips together and let out a sigh.

"Because I came a little late. I am sorry, Master. I should have followed you here immediately."

"Then right now you are..."

"I am here to accompany you through the trial."

With Ye Shiyuan by his side, Bai He naturally had no reason to refuse.

But he still felt it was very unfair.

Why did he have to undergo the trial alone?

If he had agreed to come here together with Ye Shiyuan from the beginning, he could have shared some of the burden.

Now... was this not just digging a hole and jumping into it himself?

Bai He felt an unprecedented sense of grievance.

Who exactly had he offended?

"Master, do not be afraid. I am here with you."

Ye Shiyuan softly comforted him.

He thought Bai He was frightened.

"Shiyuan, I am thinking, if I had directly agreed to come to the Heartbound Platform with you, would that have been better?"

Ye Shiyuan froze slightly.

"Master still does not want to go through the trial with me?"

"That is not what I mean. I just feel that being together is quite happy. Why should we deliberately come to undergo some trial and increase suffering, and it is unknown suffering at that. No one can guarantee what will happen."

At the very least in the original story, Ye Shiyuan had never brought anyone here to undergo such a trial.

"But if we pass this trial, then everything in the future will go smoothly, without any more difficulties."

"This is just a legend, Shiyuan, and you even believe this."

In the original story, although it was described this way.

But Bai He still did not believe it.

No one’s life is truly smooth sailing.

If it were only because of something like this, then the value of effort in the future would be completely lost.

Bai He could not quite grasp what Shiyuan’s silence meant.

Was he disagreeing with what he had said?

Forget whether he agreed or not.

Now that they were already here, there was no turning back.

Just like how, after arriving here, there was no way to return, and he could only remain.

He squeezed Ye Shiyuan’s palm and said, "Alright, stop spacing out. Let’s go."

"Alright."

"Host, Shiyuan wants to be with you for a long time, which is why he wanted to come here with you. But now you are saying you do not believe in this, it sounds like you are telling him he is naive."

Bai He curled his lips slightly.

He swore he absolutely did not mean that.
