Chapter 338: A Midnight Visit

After Hu Jintao left, Bai He simply treated his wound and changed into a different set of clothes.

The wound still hurt quite a bit.

[ Host, you were really too reckless. What if Ye Shiyuan had not managed to stop in time? What would you have done then? ]

"But being embarrassed in front of so many people is also something I cannot accept. Besides, I believe that when Shiyuan fought me, he must have been constantly thinking about not hurting me. I even feel like there was no way that strike would have hit me."

He had never even considered that he might get injured.

It seemed that in the future, he should not be so overconfident.

After resting for a while, Bai He returned.

"Why are you back again? Go back and rest."

Gu He glared at him, somewhat displeased.

"I am fine. I am already fine."

"Being injured by a divine weapon and still saying it is nothing. It seems what Senior Brother did before was right. Ye Shiyuan is indeed not a good match."

Gu He was angry.

Ye Shiyuan had injured Bai He.

No matter the reason, Bai He had once been his Master.

Yet he actually struck him.

"It was not Shiyuan’s fault."

Bai He could not help but defend Ye Shiyuan, but this only earned him Gu He’s expression of disappointment.

"Can you have a little ambition?"

"How am I not ambitious? I already won just now."

"I would rather you had lost. Did I not already say? If you cannot win, then just admit you cannot win."

Bai He stammered.

"Everyone knows that Ye Shiyuan was once a disciple of Lingguang Sect. Outsiders do not know the full situation. They might assume he made a mistake and was expelled from the sect. If at this moment I, as an elder of Lingguang Sect, lose to Ye Shiyuan, they will definitely look down on Lingguang Sect."

Gu He looked at Bai He with newfound respect.

"When did you become so responsible?"

"I have always been very responsible."

"That is truly reassuring. You will not participate in the next matches. If I had known today would be against Ye Shiyuan, I would not have let you compete at all."

Bai He said nothing.

He had no argument to make.

He continued watching the remaining matches and sparring on the arena.

The disciples of Lingguang Sect performed quite well.

Although they no longer had the brilliance they once had when Ye Shiyuan was still there, their strength had not diminished.

...

"You seem quite worried about him. Why did you not go after him just now?"

Ye Shiyuan clenched his palm.

His expression was dark, clearly showing that he was very angry at this moment.

Fortunately, he was wearing a mask, so his expression could not be seen.

For the sake of victory, he had actually gone to such extremes.

Did he not care about his life anymore?

If it had been any normal opponent, Bai He’s actions earlier would have been no different from courting death.

From a distance, he could vaguely see Gu He speaking with him.

He was arguing while also reluctantly agreeing, as if he was already fine.

The competition continued for another two hours before everyone gradually dispersed.

Bai He was pulled back by Gu He, who carefully examined his injuries before letting him go.

In the middle of the night, what kind of feeling is it to find someone sitting at the head of your bed?

Bai He felt it, and his heart almost stopped from fright.

But when he saw the mask on Ye Shiyuan’s face, he slowly calmed down.

Fortunately, he was still very familiar with that mask.

"Shiyuan?"

He carefully called out his name.

Ye Shiyuan had not expected Bai He to notice him.

He had entered his room at night before, but he had always been sleeping soundly and never noticed anything.

It seemed he had truly become much more sensitive.

What Zhang Youxia said was not wrong.

"Shiyuan, I want to ask you something. Why are you wearing a mask?"

What a waste of such a handsome face.

He had not seen Ye Shiyuan’s face for a very long time.

He also did not know whether he looked even better than before now.

"You are not going to say anything? We are already so familiar with each other. After not seeing each other for so long, can we not at least talk properly?"

Ye Shiyuan was truly angry.

Bai He could feel it.

But even if he was angry, did it not just pass once the anger faded?

"Whether I wear a mask or not, what does it have to do with you?"

Bai He pressed his lips together.

Ye Shiyuan’s words were truly hurtful.

He felt a little sad in his heart.

But this was the consequence of his own foolish actions.

He could not blame anyone else.

He originally wanted to reach out and grab Ye Shiyuan’s arm, but in the end he gave up that thought.

"Then why did you even come here?"

"I came to the wrong place."

Bai He was speechless.

Ye Shiyuan should at least find a more convincing excuse, right?

Even something like this could be said.

"You came to the wrong place? This is my room. Even if you came to the wrong place, you are still sitting here. Get out."

Since Ye Shiyuan was unwilling to talk to him, he was also unwilling to talk to him anymore.

He had his own temper too.

Ye Shiyuan pressed his lips together.

Because he was wearing a mask, Bai He could not see his expression.

"Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and leave. When you leave, close the window for me. I want to sleep. If you do not leave soon, I will shout."

Bai He turned around in anger.

He felt Ye Shiyuan disappear from beside his bed and only after hearing the sound of the window closing did he turn back.

The window was closed and naturally Ye Shiyuan had also left.

He had climbed in through the window, yet he said he came to the wrong place.

He had never seen someone so stubborn and contradictory.

[ Host, did you not really want to see Ye Shiyuan? Yet you still managed to anger him away. ]

"Who told him to be so dishonest? He is clearly worried about me but insists on being stubborn. And he even sat quietly beside my bed... it is only me who has good psychological tolerance. If it were another girl, he would have already screamed."

Bai He closed his eyes and decided not to think about it anymore.

It did not matter anyway.

There were still several days left.
