Chapter 304: A Suspicious Disciple

"Master, did you think of something?"

Junior Brother noticed that Bai He’s expression was not right.

Although he did not speak, he looked very serious.

"Shiyuan, go find that disciple. Remember to avoid letting him discover you. Observe whether he interacts with other disciples."

"Alright."

"Xiao Feng, how are you doing mixing around in Liehuo Valley now?"

When he heard this, Xu Feng said rather proudly.

"Of course there is no problem."

Ye Shiyuan then said, "Master, there is not a single disciple in Liehuo Valley who does not recognize Junior Brother now. Junior Brother carries the things you gave him and almost wants to show them off in front of everyone. They all try to get close to Junior Brother and want him to lend them those treasures."

Bai He was speechless.

The master is like this, how come the disciples are also like this?

He rubbed his brow, somewhat helpless.

"The things Master gave me are mine. How is that showing off? I just took them out. They recognize goods, so they can immediately tell they are good things."

Xu Feng’s rebuttal was very confident.

What kind of disciple did he even take in?

Other than not making him worry, they were basically useless.

"Host, if others had disciples like this, they would probably be extremely happy. Yet you are still dissatisfied in your heart."

It is precisely because of this that Bai He felt a headache.

If he could teach them more properly, they would not look down on him so much, especially Xu Feng.

"Enough. Do as I say. Do not neglect it. Especially you, Xiao Feng. If you mess this up, be careful I deal with you."

Xu Feng pretended to be scared. "I am so terrified, Master. Please do not hit me."

Bai He looked at his annoying face, clenched his palm, then let it go.

He then pulled Ye Shiyuan and said, "You, take him out and beat him up. If it hurts enough, I will take responsibility."

Xu Feng inevitably panicked. "Master, you... you are telling Senior Brother to do it? What ability does he even have?"

"Even Shiyuan listens to me. How dare you be so fierce toward me? I think your skin is itching for trouble."

Ye Shiyuan immediately pulled Xu Feng out of the room.

"Senior Brother, you are not really going to listen to Master, are you? He is just speaking out of anger. Are you really going to beat me because of his words?"

"Alright, stop bickering with Master all the time. Remember to respect him."

"I still respect him in front of outsiders."

Xu Feng did give him enough face when it mattered.

"What Master said is not unreasonable. Remember to do it properly. Do not mess it up."

Xu Feng let out a light snort. "I was just teasing him. Who told him to use that kind of method at the beginning to take me as his disciple? That was the worst time I was ever tricked. I still remember it clearly."

At that time... when he first arrived at Lingguang Sect, meeting Bai He and Ye Shiyuan, he was extremely happy.

He had learned that Bai He was an elder of Lingguang Sect, and he was overjoyed, thinking his talent had finally been recognized.

But later, he was told that this so-called elder might possibly not even be as good as a beginner who had just entered the sect.

That was a truly painful experience.

Bai He supported his chin, looking listless.

"Host, do you want to eat something? Your mood does not look very good."

"I am thinking about how to establish my authority so that others will not look down on me."

Mo Zhu flew in front of Bai He. "Then Host, have you thought of any good methods?"

Bai He lowered his hand and instead lay on the table, looking even more helpless.

"What if I find a time to beat him up?"

Mo Zhu helped him compare his own data with Xu Feng’s data.

"Host, I think that right now, aside from being slightly lacking in actual combat experience compared to Xu Feng, you surpass him in every other aspect. Your chances of winning are very high."

Bai He nodded, extremely satisfied.

He made a mental note of it.

Once this matter was settled, Xu Feng was finished.

A fierce glint flashed through his eyes.

After assigning separate tasks to Ye Shiyuan and Xu Feng, Bai He actually took the initiative to go look for Huo Huayan.

Huo Huayan always liked to cling to Ye Shiyuan.

If he went to find him himself, Ye Shiyuan would have time to carry out the tasks he had arranged.

Besides, there were also a few things Bai He needed to inquire about.

...

Huo Huayan felt that he had been incredibly foolish before.

How had he ever come to believe that the magical treasures in the hands of an elder of Lingguang Sect would be inferior to those in the hands of his disciple?

He looked at the sword in his hand.

It was not inferior in the slightest to the sword Ye Shiyuan had shown him before.

Not only that, but there were so many dazzling magical artifacts before him that he could hardly take them all in.

As he admired them, his eyes never left them for even a moment.

"Host, you really know what you’re doing."

"This is called striking where it matters most," Bai He said with a raised brow.

He had only casually taken out a few magical treasures and Huo Huayan had completely turned into a different person.

After all, they were all treasures his Master had left to him.

Every single one was a good item.

Of course, he was only taking them out for display.

He was certainly not giving them away.

"Elder Bai He, can I really borrow these treasures to look at for one night?"

"Of course. But there is one matter I need to trouble Valley Master Huo with."
