Chapter 349: Decisive Victory

Hu Jintao also seemed to have noticed this and, tacitly, neither of them used spiritual energy.

Elder Shi Yuqi stroked his beard. "This is interesting. If Ye Shiyuan does not use spiritual energy, then this child Hu Jintao may not be without a chance."

Bai He really wanted to respond that there truly was no chance.

Even if spiritual energy was used, one move would decide the outcome.

If spiritual energy was not used, Ye Shiyuan would still win.

Sword techniques were actually the most visually pleasing to watch, with dazzling yet reasonable moves that were enjoyable to the eye.

But soon, Elder Shi Yuqi was proven wrong.

Around the twentieth move, Hu Jintao was struck on the back of his hand by Ye Shiyuan’s Heavenly Sin Divine Sword.

The sword in his hand fell to the ground.

When he looked up again, he only saw Ye Shiyuan pointing his sword at him.

His expression was solemn.

This was not surprising at all, at least for Bai He, it was exactly like this.

"Hu Jintao is so stupid. Senior Brother is not using spiritual power. If he uses spiritual power, wouldn’t he win?"

Xu Feng somewhat admired Xu Feng’s way of thinking: "Shiyuan is giving him a chance to challenge himself. If Hu Jintao had used spiritual power first while Shiyuan was not using any, then he would not have had even the slightest chance. Not only that, he might even have been injured."

Just by competing in cultivation alone, with Ye Shiyuan’s current level of cultivation plus his godlike sword techniques, how many people present could compare to him?

If Bai He had not used a scheme back then, could he have won against him?

Would this create the illusion that Ye Shiyuan was not actually that strong?

Hu Jintao walked down somewhat disappointed, but Elder Shi Yuqi did not blame him.

Instead, he pointed out many of his shortcomings and told him to cultivate properly in the future.

Bai He even saw a very proud expression under Ye Shiyuan’s mask.

However, there was one scene that was truly very eye catching.

Sitting next to Ye Shiyuan was none other than Su Yuluan, whom he had just seen earlier.

She really was like a lingering ghost.

"Master, do you know, your expression right now is very scary?"

Bai He let out a light snort and withdrew his gaze.

"Am I scary?"

"Uh, not really. Master, no matter what you become, Senior Brother will like you. So even if there are other women beside Senior Brother, it is only temporary. His true feelings are for you."

Although Bai He did not really understand what Xu Feng meant, he felt like punching him.

"Do you want to get hit again?"

Xu Feng closed his mouth: "Master, I will not say it anymore."

[ Host, you clearly know that Ye Shiyuan has no interest in Su Yuluan. Why are you still angry? ]

"Shiyuan will not do anything to Su Yuluan, but look at Su Yuluan. Does she not look like she wants to lean into Shiyuan’s arms? Does she not want everyone to know that she has a close relationship with Ye Shiyuan?"

What made Bai He even more angry was that Ye Shiyuan actually allowed such a woman with bad intentions to sit beside him.

Bai He felt slightly wronged in his heart.

He once again withdrew his gaze and stopped looking.

It only made his heart feel blocked and there was no benefit to himself.

...

"Shiyuan, congratulations, you won again."

Su Yuluan looked very happy.

Seeing that Ye Shiyuan did not respond, she continued: "Shiyuan, I returned to Qixiu Valley. After I heard that you came here, I also came over. While I was not here, have you been doing well?"

Just as Su Yuluan finished speaking, Zhang Youxia could not help but burst out laughing.

"Hahahaha."

"What are you laughing at?"

His tone when speaking to Ye Shiyuan was completely different from how he spoke to Zhang Youxia.

"I say, you are still like this. Do you not understand who is in Shiyuan’s heart?"

"Does it have anything to do with you?" Su Yuluan shot back.

Zhang Youxia shrugged and said, "It does not really have anything to do with me."

"Shiyuan, I have already asked the Valley Master. The Valley Master said that as long as you are willing, a marriage agreement can be arranged for us."

Ye Shiyuan seemed as if he did not hear any of it.

He had already heard these words countless times.

Only she would say them again and again without feeling tired.

At the beginning, Ye Shiyuan would still refuse and would answer this question seriously.

But later, he simply stopped bothering with it.

Because Su Yuluan would not give up just because of his words.

She was the strangest person he had ever met.

Ye Shiyuan sincerely hoped that Su Yuluan would treat others this way instead of targeting him.

Several days had already passed since they arrived at the Qinghai Sect.

Some sects had already left.

Those who remained were mostly staying because they still had disciples who needed to participate in the final day of sparring matches.

Under the moonlight, Bai He had already fallen asleep, but he found a place with a rather beautiful environment.

There was a pavilion there and sitting there made him feel very comfortable.

The lotus flowers in the pond had all bloomed and a faint floral fragrance drifted through the air.

He slightly closed his eyes and felt quite relaxed.

He was vaguely awakened by some sounds.

Bai He opened his eyes and listened carefully.

As those people approached, the sound became clearer and clearer.

"Do you think Ye Shiyuan is so ugly that he cannot show his face, so he wears a mask all day?"

"But I heard that Ye Shiyuan is incomparably handsome."

"Really? Maybe he has been disfigured..."

In the pavilion, Bai He was blocked by a pillar, so they naturally did not notice him.

Listening to them discussing Ye Shiyuan, he really felt angry.

These people were truly infuriating.

Bai He lost his mood and quickly left the pavilion.
