Chapter 374: A Disciple and a Dangerous Encounter

"It is not that I refuse to take disciples. It is just that in a place like this, I do not want to become involved with anyone."

Bai He had not forgotten that he had come here to find Ye Shiyuan. He had certainly not come here to take on a disciple.

"Young Master, please accept me as your disciple. I will definitely work hard and learn."

Bai He let out a sigh and said, "Although I do not know who you are, I do not accept disciples lightly, especially not under circumstances like these. Be more careful in the future. I should get going now."

After saying that, Bai He turned around and left.

Half an hour later, Bai He’s head was already starting to ache.

Why?

Why had he ended up with someone who clung to him like an adhesive plaster and simply refused to let go?

Bai He felt a headache coming on. Yet looking at the cute and harmless boy, he truly could not bring himself to do anything to him.

After walking for a while longer, Bai He suddenly realized that the person following behind him had disappeared.

He let out a sigh of relief.

Finally, he had left.

However...

"Young Master, save me! Young Master!"

Bai He had originally thought that the boy had finally come to his senses.

Who could have guessed that he had not stopped following him at all, but had instead run into danger?

Bai He immediately turned around again and rushed toward the direction where the voice had come from.

Once again, he helped the boy out of trouble. Then he took out a loose black robe and tossed it over to him.

"Put it on."

With that pitiful appearance of his, he was an even easier target than Bai He himself.

This place did not care whether someone was a man or a woman.

"Thank you, Master."

"I have not accepted you as my disciple. What is your name? And why did you come here?"

The boy put on the robe Bai He had given him before answering. "Master, my name is Zhang Hao. I came here to look for my mother."

"Your mother? She is in this place?"

"My mother was once an immortal cultivator. Later, something happened, and she was forced to flee to Heiyuan City to hide. From that day onward, there has been no news of her. However, I remember that my mother was truly very powerful. She was just as powerful as you are, Master."

Bai He was completely speechless.

No matter how many times he corrected him, this person simply refused to change.

He shamelessly kept calling him Master.

However, if Zhang Hao’s mother really was as capable as Bai He, then perhaps she was indeed still alive.

That was certainly not impossible.

"If you want to follow me, it is not impossible. However, I have one condition."

"Please tell me."

"I am not taking you with me to help you search for your mother. I have my own matters to deal with. You may follow me, but you are not allowed to cause me any trouble."

Zhang Hao nodded. "Yes... Master."

"There is one more thing. You are not allowed to call me Master. Otherwise, you are not allowed to follow me."

"Understood."

Just like that, Bai He ended up with a little tail following behind him.

Fortunately, they did not run into any more trouble afterward.

...

The eastern district of Heiyuan City.

It was quiet.

Terrifyingly quiet.

Ghostly figures lurked everywhere.

This was the truly frightening part of Heiyuan City.

Inside Nameless Inn, there were quite a few people.

This was the most densely populated place in the city.

Nameless Inn was a genuine inn that operated as a real business.

At the same time, it was also the most dangerous place.

There were quite a few extremely powerful experts gathered here.

Ye Shiyuan had already been here for some time.

However, his mood today was especially bad.

The Magic Conch in his hand had received no response.

Where exactly had Bai He gone?

Suddenly, someone appeared in front of him.

She held a cup containing wine.l or perhaps it was some kind of unknown red liquid.

"Young Master." The woman’s voice was soft and seductive. Combined with her enchanting appearance, she was truly capable of making people lose themselves.

Everyone inside the inn, whether they were drinking tea or wine, could not help but let their eyes fall upon the woman.

However, they only dared to look.

None of them dared entertain any improper thoughts toward her.

Any man who caught her attention would eventually fall beneath her charms.

Afterward, he would die without anyone ever knowing how.

A beauty was still a beauty.

Although their hearts burned with desire, they treasured their own lives even more.

"Get lost." Ye Shiyuan raised his eyes. His mood had already been terrible. Now that someone had come to disturb him, it became even worse.

"Young Master, I heard that in only a short time, you have already established yourself firmly in Heiyuan City. My name is Si Hua. You may call me Hua’er. Throughout my life, I have loved powerful men the most. I simply wonder whether you are truly as strong as the rumors claim."

Ye Shiyuan curled his lips into a faint smile. "And how do you intend to find out?"

"You really are naughty, Young Master." When Si Hua looked at Ye Shiyuan, she almost started drooling.

Ye Shiyuan was simply too perfect.

His cultivation was profound and he was an immortal cultivator.

Even his appearance could be described as unmatched in the world.

Si Hua even felt that after spending a passionate night with him, she might not have the heart to harm him.

However, the greatest expression of love would be to devour him.

Only by making him become one with her could she truly possess him forever.

"Get lost." Ye Shiyuan uttered only a single word.
