Chapter 330: After Leaving the Sect

In the end, she had still made her choice.

Only by doing this could Ye Shiyuan leave Bai He.

Only then would she have a chance.

"Shiyuan, I have been waiting here for you for a long time. Have you decided where you will go after leaving Lingguang Sect? If you have nowhere to go, you can tell me."

Su Yuluan wore a bright smile.

What she saw in return, however, was Ye Shiyuan’s face filled with fury.

The very next moment, his hand shot out and wrapped tightly around Su Yuluan’s throat.

"Shiyuan, what are you doing? Let me go."

"There are some things that, once you have done them, you should not be afraid to face the consequences. Su Yuluan, who sent you here? Why do you keep clinging to me? Why can you not leave me alone?"

Su Yuluan struggled to speak.

"Shiyuan, Bai He simply does not love you that much. If he truly loved you, how could you possibly have been driven out of Lingguang Sect?"

Ye Shiyuan’s expression darkened.

He slowly lowered his hand.

There were some things he could not even find the words to deny.

"Even if that is true, it has nothing to do with you. You are not so naive as to think that now that I have left Lingguang Sect, you finally have a chance, are you? Su Yuluan, remember everything you have done today. One day, I will make you understand what true despair feels like."

The moment Ye Shiyuan finished speaking, his expression turned sharp.

The surroundings suddenly stirred as if something was moving through the wind.

The Dawnmaker Divine Sword instantly appeared in Ye Shiyuan’s hand.

He swept his gaze across the surroundings.

Sure enough, two people rushed out from his right side and their target was him.

...

"Master, Senior Brother seems to be injured."

Bai He’s heart skipped a beat.

He hurriedly asked, "How could he be injured? What happened?"

"See, Master? You obviously still care about Senior Brother. I will go and bring Senior Brother back."

Bai He glared at him.

"So you were just joking with me? Who told you to joke about something like that?"

Xu Feng frowned and answered, "Master, I was not joking. Everything I said is true. Not long after Senior Brother left Lingguang Sect, he was ambushed. But Senior Brother was still very powerful. He easily drove those people away. He only suffered a minor injury. That girl named Su Yuluan seemed to have been injured while protecting Senior Brother, so Senior Brother took her away."

Bai He quietly let out a sigh of relief.

But the moment he imagined Ye Shiyuan together with Su Yuluan, he could not help feeling very unhappy.

Although in the original story, no matter what Su Yuluan did, Ye Shiyuan had never been moved by her...

Still...

"Master, are you really just going to watch Senior Brother stay with that woman? As long as you say the word, I will immediately bring Senior Brother back."

"You are not allowed to go."

Bai He immediately rejected Xu Feng’s suggestion.

"Why?"

"I have already said this more than once. No means no. From now on, everything concerning Ye Shiyuan has nothing to do with me anymore. Do you understand?"

Xu Feng stared fixedly at Bai He.

After a long moment, he finally spoke.

"Master, you and Senior Brother really are completely different. Before Senior Brother left, he specifically told me to take good care of you and to always listen to you. But what about you? You care so little about him. If he ever finds out, he will be heartbroken."

"If you do not tell him, how would he ever know? Unless you actually want him to be heartbroken."

"Even if I do not tell him, do you think Senior Brother will never find out? Bai He, you may look young, but I never expected your heart to be this cruel."

Bai He pointed at him.

"Do not talk nonsense. Who are you calling cruel?"

"You. You are even crueler than all those other people."

Under normal circumstances, Bai He would definitely have argued with Xu Feng over this matter.

But today, he merely looked at Xu Feng for a while before standing up.

As he puffing his cheeks in anger, he turned around and walked back into his room.

"Hey, Master, are you angry?"

"That has nothing to do with you. Stop bothering me."

Xu Feng had never intended to make Bai He angry.

He simply hoped that Bai He could bring Ye Shiyuan back.

If it were Bai He, he was certain there would be a way to make everything return to how it had been before.

But Bai He did not do it.

He did not even try before giving up.

Could it be that, deep down, Bai He no longer wished for them to live together happily as they once had?

A trace of disappointment flashed through Xu Feng’s eyes.

...

Meanwhile, elsewhere.

Ye Shiyuan took a blanket out of his storage ring and spread it out for Su Yuluan to sit on.

Her injury was on her arm.

It was a slash wound.

More than half of her sleeve had been soaked red with blood.

"Your injury is not serious. Just take some medicine and you will be fine."

"Thank you."

Su Yuluan looked at Ye Shiyuan’s expression.

Although he still appeared cold and indifferent, she could sense a trace of concern.

"Shiyuan, do you not think something is very suspicious?"

Ye Shiyuan paused for a moment as he finished bandaging the wound on Su Yuluan’s arm.

Seeing that he remained silent, Su Yuluan continued.

"You are such a smart person. You should know that the fact those people could appear near Lingguang Sect, and that they specifically targeted you, means Lingguang Sect has no intention of letting you go. They want you to carry the future of Lingguang Sect, yet at the same time, they are unwilling to let someone they consider dangerous continue living in this world."
