Chapter 332: A Chance Reunion

"Master, last time it was because I had only recently joined the sect. But I am no longer the same person I was before. Do not worry, Master. I guarantee I will not embarrass you."

Whether he embarrassed himself or not did not really matter to Bai He.

He simply hoped Xu Feng would not get hurt.

It was just a pity...

Ye Shiyuan was not here.

"Maybe this time we will even see Senior Brother."

Xu Feng suddenly mentioned Ye Shiyuan.

Only afterward did he realize he might have said something wrong.

"Uh... Master, I am sorry."

"It is fine. If you mention him, then you mention him. It does not matter."

Xu Feng sat down and asked curiously, "I have never asked before. Was it because you and Senior Brother had an argument back then? Neither of you ever told me the reason."

Bai He still did not reveal the real reason.

Even he did not know whether he would see Ye Shiyuan this time.

Or perhaps...

Whether he actually wanted to see Ye Shiyuan.

Deep down, Bai He was still somewhat afraid.

He had never been a particularly brave person in the first place.

The moment he thought about possibly meeting Ye Shiyuan again, he felt uneasy.

Ye Shiyuan had such a good temper.

He probably would not still be angry, would he?

But then again...

Anyone in his position would probably be angry.

[ Host, when the time comes, why not just make up some excuse and fool him? ]

"But if I had been a little firmer back then, things might not have been completely hopeless. It was my coldness and indifference that made Ye Shiyuan leave Lingguang Sect so quickly. And because of that... he was targeted."

[ Host, if Ye Shiyuan had stayed in Lingguang Sect, he would never have reached the level he achieved in the original story. ]

Bai He understood.

It was precisely because of that...

He scratched his head.

Every time he thought about this matter, he still felt deeply frustrated.

Bai He finally forced himself to stop thinking about it.

Instead, he decided to go find Yao Xiangli and ask for permission to accompany Gu He to the Qinghai Sect.

As for everything else...

There was no point thinking so much about it.

After all, if he did not even run into Ye Shiyuan there, then all this worrying would have been for nothing.

Naturally, as long as it was not anything excessive, they would all agree.

Bai He finished packing his things.

This time, it would be the three of them traveling together, with Gu He and Xu Feng accompanying him.

"Once we arrive at Qinghai Sect, keep a low profile. Do not cause any trouble for me. Do you understand?"

Gu He truly had enough of Bai He’s talent for getting into trouble.

No matter where Bai He went, he always managed to stir something up.

"I know."

Bai He answered with obvious displeasure.

When had he ever gone looking for trouble?

He never did.

"Sigh. Ever since your Second Senior Brother found where he truly belongs, he rarely comes back anymore. Lingguang Sect has become much quieter."

"What about you? You should hurry up too. How are things going with Sister Qi Yunfei? Why haven’t you married her yet? Or you could marry into her family instead."

Gu He shot Bai He an exasperated glare.

"Are you talking about me?"

"Of course I’m talking about you. Who else would I be talking about? Me? I was always dismissed as being too young. Whoever I liked, all of you would chase them away."

At the mention of what had happened with Ye Shiyuan, Gu He replied, "But wasn’t that what you agreed to?"

"Oh, stop saying things like that. Fine, I agreed to it. But tell me honestly, did it really matter whether I agreed or not?"

Gu He also knew that whether Bai He agreed or not was never the important part.

At most, it would only have made things slightly more troublesome at the time.

"Ye Shiyuan originally had the chance to stay."

"Yes. If I had made a scene and caused enough trouble, Senior Brother would probably have agreed to let Shiyuan stay. But what would have happened to Shiyuan after that?"

Being beaten until he was covered in injuries would have been the least of it.

Something even worse might have happened.

"Seriously, Junior Brother... do you really like Ye Shiyuan that much?"

Bai He pressed his lips together before finally admitting it.

"Mm."

"You little rascal..."

Gu He looked Bai He up and down.

"But back then, I clearly remember you denying it."

"What else could I have done?"

"Even though you’re still young, your taste is surprisingly good. You actually fell for Ye Shiyuan."

Gu He was not an especially narrow minded person.

Otherwise, he would never have fallen in love with Qi Yunfei.

Unfortunately, when he fell in love with Qi Yunfei, no one dared say anything.

But when Ye Shiyuan fell in love with an elder of Lingguang Sect, suddenly it became unacceptable.

Unless one day Ye Shiyuan truly became powerful enough to silence everyone.

Only then, even if they did not want to approve, they would have no choice.

"Back then, if he had agreed to give you up and chosen to remain by Senior Brother’s side to cultivate properly, eventually inheriting Lingguang Sect, the two of you might still have ended up together. But now..."

"Fourth Senior Brother, you’re wrong. I think Shiyuan will grow even more after leaving Lingguang Sect."

Gu He only thought Bai He was talking nonsense.

"Junior Brother, do you really think there is any place in this world more suitable for cultivation than Lingguang Sect?"

"Hmph. Does Shiyuan even need anyone to teach him? Fourth Senior Brother, can you honestly say that you could teach him anything?"

Gu He instantly fell silent.

A genius like Ye Shiyuan had become completely different after obtaining the Dawnmaker Divine Sword.
