Chapter 324: Back at Qingluan Manor

Shi Gui and his Third Senior Sister indeed had a tangled and unresolved relationship in the original story.

Actually, her Third Senior Sister was fine, but Shi Gui seemed to have a different kind of feeling toward her.

Even in the end, when he was personally killed by her Third Senior Sister, Shi Gui still seemed to have accepted it willingly.

Could it really be as he had guessed?

Bai He found it unbelievable, yet also felt that he might not be wrong.

It should be exactly like this.

Bai He gathered his courage and stepped forward.

"Shi Gui, let me make a deal with you. As long as you agree to release those two people, I will find a way to let you meet my Third Senior Sister."

Shi Gui’s expression paused slightly as he examined Bai He.

"Hmph, do you think I would agree to you?"

Bai He gritted his teeth.

"If you do not agree, then I can only tell my Third Senior Sister..."

Shi Gui smiled.

"What, are you trying to say you will go tell your Third Senior Sister bad things about me?"

Bai He shook his head.

Of course not.

Shi Gui already had a very bad image in his Third Senior Sister’s heart.

What else could he possibly say to make it worse?

More importantly, Shi Gui probably did not even care about such things.

"I will tell my Third Senior Sister that I will make sure she will never meets you in this lifetime. I know you might not believe I have that ability, but my Master does. My Master listens to me completely."

Bai He looked very proud.

He had to do it this way.

Only in this way could he make Shi Gui lower his guard and believe him.

He absolutely could not let him know that he also did not know where his Master had gone.

After a moment of silence, Shi Gui looked at Bai He with renewed respect.

"A little boy, yet you really know how to read people."

"Stop dreaming. Just you? Wishful thinking."

Shi Gui of course knew he was indulging in wishful thinking.

He also knew that between him and Zhou Yifei, there was absolutely no possibility.

"Fine, I will let them go. But you better remember what you said. Otherwise, I will not let you go. However, for the sake of your Third Senior Sister, I will leave you a complete corpse."

"You say that one more time."

On the side, Ye Shiyuan who had originally been relatively calm, had already raised his hand.

The sword in his hand pointed directly at Shi Gui.

"Dawnmaker Divine Sword? Is he your disciple?"

"Yes."

Shi Gui showed a look of disdain toward Bai He.

That expression seemed to say that someone like Ye Shiyuan as his disciple was simply a waste of talent.

Bai He had nothing to argue back with.

Waste of talent it was then.

Whatever.

After all, Ye Shiyuan had chosen it himself.

He had not forced him.

"Hmph, then go."

After saying that, Shi Gui waved his sleeve.

The two people were thrown out, and Shi Gui turned around and walked inside, quickly disappearing from sight.

"Manor Master, Manor Master?"

Zhang Wuji crouched down and immediately checked the condition of Duan Aojuan, the Manor Master of Qingluan Manor.

After confirming she was not seriously injured, he fed her a pill.

And Ma Hongjun?

Ma Hongjun had simply fainted.

With a simple spell from Ye Shiyuan, he quickly regained consciousness.

When he opened his eyes and saw them, he closed them again.

He had said he did not need Bai He’s help, yet in the end he had accomplished nothing on his own.

It was somewhat embarrassing.

Although they all used the Reveal Glass, Ma Hongjun’s target was different from Zhang Wuji’s target.

The reason Ma Hongjun was able to find this place was mostly because of his sharp mind.

He only used the Reveal Glass to detect some clues, so his consumption of cultivation power was not much.

"Why did you all come here?"

"How could we not come? You left us a note telling us to come, then you secretly went off on your own. Is that really appropriate?"

Ma Hongjun sighed helplessly.

"I was just worried that you would get injured if you following me."

His explanation was not entirely an excuse.

After all, the opponent was the elder brother of the Demon King.

His strength was naturally not to be underestimated.

If Ye Shiyuan had still been there, he might have explained things more clearly.

He had actually encountered Ye Shiyuan midway, and it was he who told Ye Shiyuan that Zhang Wuji had the Qingluan Lotus Seed.

Otherwise, Ye Shiyuan would not have known.

...

Qingluan Manor.

Bai He once again arrived at the courtyard where Ma Hongjun stayed.

Ye Shiyuan and the disciples of Qingluan Manor had gone to check on the Manor Master Duan Aojuan.

"You are not going to see your master?"

"With my brother Ye Shiyuan there, I am not worried at all."

Ma Hongjun not only did not look worried, he even had the leisure to drink tea.

Bai He was speechless.

Feeling annoyed, he sat down.

Ma Hongjun even poured her a cup of tea.

"Elder Bai He, why are you so anxious? What are you worried about?"

"I, I just..."

Bai He hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"I am just still shaken."

"Because of that snake?"

Bai He very honestly nodded.

"Yes. Do you not think he is very terrifying?"

Ma Hongjun thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"No. I think his original form looks much more pleasing to the eye than his human form."

That was Ma Hongjun’s opinion.

It was different from Bai He’s way of seeing things.

Bai He felt that whether it was his original form or his human form, both were equally terrifying.

"Heh."

Bai He let out a cold laugh, feeling utterly speechless.

He picked up his teacup and took a sip.
