Chapter 328: Forced to Leave

"How could that be? Hurry up and get out. I’m going to rest."

Ye Shiyuan stood up and lifted Bai He into his arms.

Although Bai He had grown up, he was still slender and small.

While holding his Master in his arms, Ye Shiyuan could feel that his Master barely had any weight at all.

He gently placed Bai He onto the bed, lowered his head, and kissed his forehead.

"Get some rest early."

"Mm."

Bai He obediently closed his eyes.

Only after he heard Ye Shiyuan leave and the sound of the door closing did he slowly open them again.

He patted his chest.

Just now, his heart had almost jumped out of it.

[ Host, so? I told you I was right. ]

"And you still have the nerve to say that? You actually dare to take credit?"

What kind of ridiculous idea had that been?

[ Host, the sweetness between you and Ye Shiyuan will probably only be temporary. ]

Mo Zhu’s tone suddenly became much more serious.

"What do you mean? Is there some special mission?"

[ You stayed alive by keeping Ye Shiyuan in Lingguang Sect, but some things are still progressing step by step according to fate. Your new mission is to make everything return to its proper course. ]

Bai He felt a headache coming on.

"What do you mean?"

[ It means that small events do not matter, but major events cannot be changed. ]

Bai He thought about the major events in the original story.

"The man I saw with Ye Shiyuan at the Heartbound Platform last time was probably his friend in the original story, wasn’t he?"

[ Host, that is very likely. ]

"So that means he has actually been secretly doing important things behind my back."

But why?

Wasn’t life at Lingguang Sect good enough for him?

Why was he still thinking about doing all those things?

[ In the original story, his reason was to take revenge and to protect himself. Now that he is doing the same things, perhaps he has found a new reason. ]

Bai He pressed his lips together.

What Mo Zhu said was not without reason.

"Then what should I do?"

[ The system recommends that you find a way to let Ye Shiyuan leave Lingguang Sect. With his current strength, even if he leaves Lingguang Sect, he will not be harmed. At the same time, he will continue to grow stronger. ]

...

Bai He drifted into a muddled sleep.

Whatever happened could be dealt with tomorrow.

No one knew that the next day, something completely unexpected would break out.

Early that morning, Bai He did not see Ye Shiyuan.

He did not see Xu Feng either.

Instead, he saw Zhou Yifei and Gu He arriving at his Baize Peak.

"Third Senior Sister, Fourth Senior Brother, why have you come here?"

Zhou Yifei took Bai He’s hand and sat him down.

"Junior Brother, tell me honestly. Are you and Ye Shiyuan hiding something from me?"

"No."

Bai He immediately denied it.

"And you still say no? Su Yuluan from Qixiu Valley has already told us everything! The relationship between you and Ye Shiyuan is far more than that of master and disciple. Senior Brother has already decided that from now on, Ye Shiyuan can no longer stay at Baize Peak."

Bai He anxiously stood up.

"Third Senior Sister, what are you talking about? If Shiyuan can’t stay at Baize Peak, where is he supposed to go?"

"This matter has already been decided. You are still young. You have been deceived without even realizing it. One day, you will understand that we are doing this for your own good."

Bai He looked extremely anxious.

"Third Senior Sister, what exactly are you planning to do to Shiyuan?"

"We still do not know the details yet, but the two of you are finished. Junior Brother, Ye Shiyuan must still resent Lingguang Sect because of what happened before, so he deliberately deceived you."

Zhou Yifei could hardly be blamed for thinking that.

Bai He pressed his lips together.

"Third Senior Sister, no matter what happens, even if Shiyuan is expelled from Lingguang Sect, please make sure Senior Brother does not make a move against him. Please do not let anyone hurt him, alright?"

"You are willing to let Ye Shiyuan leave Lingguang Sect?"

Bai He’s answer was something Zhou Yifei had never expected.

Bai He nodded.

"Mm."

"Junior Brother, it is our fault. We have all been too busy. If we had spent more time with you, perhaps things would not have turned out this way."

Bai He’s expression looked deeply dejected.

Meanwhile, in the Yaoxing Peak, Ye Shiyuan and Xu Feng stood there, looking up at Yao Xiangli, who sat in the seat of honor.

"Ye Shiyuan."

"Sect Master."

"Ye Shiyuan, what do you have to say for yourself?"

Ye Shiyuan’s expression was solemn.

"This matter began because of me. It has nothing to do with Master, nor with Junior Brother. I ask that Senior Brother see the truth clearly."

Yao Xiangli let out a cold laugh and slowly walked down the steps.

"I have always wondered why you chose my Junior Brother instead of staying at Yaoxing Peak. So this was the reason."

Ye Shiyuan did not know how to defend himself.

But even if that had not been the reason, he still would not have wanted to remain at Yaoxing Peak.

"Sect Master, Senior Brother and Master truly love each other..."

Xu Feng still tried to say something to Yao Xiangli, but Yao Xiangli coldly interrupted him before he could continue.

"This is not your place to speak. I will punish you later."

"Sect Master, why did you not let Master come? If Master knew..."

Yao Xiangli raised his hand and struck Xu Feng with a palm attack.

Fortunately, Ye Shiyuan reacted quickly enough to block it.

"Sect Master, Junior Brother is still young and has only recently entered the sect. Please do not hold it against him."

Ye Shiyuan also signaled Xu Feng not to speak any further.
