Chapter 339: Midnight Visit

Ye Shiyuan returned with a faint trace of anger in his heart.

Naturally, he ran into Zhang Youxia.

"You look very unhappy."

"You can tell I am unhappy?"

"Just by the way you walk, I can tell. And your tone just now when you spoke, I can confirm that you are really unhappy. What happened? Did your little master anger you?"

Ye Shiyuan was indeed angry, yet also somewhat helpless.

"Strange. Normally, if someone in the sect angers you, you would not let it go. You would find a chance to retaliate properly. I even thought you would do the same today. Your master angered you, so you took the opportunity to hurt him."

Ye Shiyuan had never once intended to hurt Bai He.

The moment he injured him, his mind had gone completely blank.

Even after stepping down from the arena, he remained lost in a haze of confusion.

"But then you secretly went to see him again. That only convinced me of one thing. You just couldn’t bear to hurt him, but you still refuse to admit it."

"It has nothing to do with you."

Ye Shiyuan walked past him.

Zhang Youxia said, "If you keep refusing to be honest, then even if they truly likes you, they might not be able to endure it. And if they don’t like you any more, then you really have no chance at all. It doesn’t matter if they doesn’t like you yet. You can always find ways to treat them well, and eventually they may come to like you. But if one day they falls for someone else instead, then by the time you decide to do something about it, it will already be too late."

The last part of Zhang Youxia’s words seemed to carry a deeper meaning.

Even the tone of his voice changed.

"You seem to understand quite a lot?"

Zhang Youxia let out a bitter laugh.

"I don’t. I’m only guessing. Whether you believe me or not is up to you."

...

"Master! Master!"

Bai He was awakened by the shouting.

Back when he lived on Baize Peak, he could always sleep until he woke naturally, and no one ever came to disturb him.

But now...

Bai He walked over and opened the door.

"Why are you shouting like that?"

"Master, you’re awake."

Bai He shot him a glare.

"You woke me up."

Xu Feng looked slightly aggrieved, but he still spoke.

"Master, how is your injury? I have some medicine here. It’s very effective for wounds caused by divine weapons."

Lingguang Sect also had similar medicine.

However, most of it was kept by Elder Yao and not in Bai He’s possession.

Xu Feng had some as well?

Normally, he got along well with everyone.

Xu Feng also liked running around everywhere and seemed to have a good relationship with Elder Yao.

Perhaps that was why Elder Yao had given the medicine to Xu Feng.

Bai He took the bottle from his hand.

"Thank you."

"Master, you should apply the medicine as soon as possible. Don’t let it leave a scar. It won’t look good if it does."

"You sure are meddlesome."

Xu Feng looked a little embarrassed, almost as if he had done something guilty.

"Master, then I’ll be going now."

Xu Feng left very quickly.

Bai He had not even had time to react.

What was that about?

Bai He returned to his room.

There, on the table, sat a basket of fruit.

His favorite Snow Peaches.

They had Snow Peaches here too?

Although there were many kinds of spiritual fruits, Snow Peaches were extremely rare.

Lingguang Sect only had them because, back when Ye Shiyuan was still there, he had cultivated them using the Tree’s Coreflame.

The biggest reason was simply because Bai He loved eating them.

Bai He looked at the Snow Peach in his hand and let out a helpless sigh.

When he thought about it carefully, Ye Shiyuan had truly treated him very well.

He sighed softly, set the Snow Peach aside, and applied the medicine to his wound.

He had to admit that the medicine really was excellent.

After applying it, the wound no longer hurt.

Instead, it felt cool and refreshing, making him surprisingly comfortable.

It really was first rate medicine.

If Xu Feng had such good medicine, why hadn’t he brought it out yesterday?

It had caused him to delay treatment for so long.

Grumbling a little to himself, Bai He carefully put away the remaining medicine so he could use it again the next time he needed it.

He picked up a Snow Peach and walked out of his room.

Today it would be Xu Feng’s turn to compete and his opponent was the one called Zhang Youxia.

Naturally, Bai He was not going to miss it.

After all, he was Xu Feng’s master.

How could he possibly forget such an important match for his own disciple and choose not to attend?

"Senior Brother, please just let me go."

Bai He tugged at Gu He’s sleeve, his tone full of dissatisfaction as he pleaded.

Gu He remained completely unmoved.

"Stop thinking about it. Absolutely not."

"Senior Brother, I’m already fine. Besides, I finally have an opportunity like this. Didn’t you say that aside from Ye Shiyuan, no one else is my opponent? I’ll definitely be fine. Senior Brother, I’m begging you, alright?"

Gu He’s expression remained cold, but Bai He had already noticed the slight hesitation in his eyes.

That meant there was hope.

A faint smile spread across Bai He’s face as he continued.

"Fourth Senior Brother, just let me go. If I never step onto the arena again, what will everyone say about me? They’ll definitely think I’m a coward who’s too afraid to show up."

Gu He was truly getting annoyed by Bai He’s endless persuasion.

"Fine, fine. I’ll agree."

"Thank you, Senior Brother."

"But if you get injured again, then don’t even think about getting another chance."

A bright smile immediately appeared on Bai He’s face.
