Chapter 379: Sheltering from the Rain

Zhang Hao was not upset at all. "Senior Brother, in the future, I will definitely cultivate properly and study techniques seriously."

"With your current ability, you still want to become Master’s disciple?"

Ye Shiyuan clearly looked down on Zhang Hao.

"Senior Brother, I know I am not strong right now. However, I also possess the talent for cultivation. I do not believe you were this powerful from the very beginning either. Did you not also slowly cultivate until reaching your current level?"

What Zhang Hao said actually did not seem wrong.

Bai He scratched his head.

However, Ye Shiyuan truly was someone with extraordinary talent.

He was the kind of person who learned anything extremely quickly.

Although at the very beginning he might have been at the same level as others...

But after only three days...

The things he learned in those three days were enough for some people to spend three months learning.

That was right.

His talent was simply that abnormal.

It was a beginning that no ordinary person could ever hope to reach.

"Rumble..."

The dark and gloomy sky suddenly resounded with the sound of thunder.

Bai He raised his head.

He was rather curious.

Could a place like this actually have thunder and rain?

Patter, patter...

Raindrops began to fall.

Ye Shiyuan immediately grabbed Bai He’s hand and pulled him beneath the shelter of a nearby house.

With ease, he pushed open the door.

The houses in this place could be occupied freely.

As long as one had the ability, the house belonged to them.

"Master, the rain here is poisonous. It is also corrosive. Come inside and avoid it."

"Oh."

Ye Shiyuan had arrived slightly earlier than Bai He, so naturally, he understood this place far better than Bai He did.

The room was completely dark.

Ye Shiyuan lit a candle, and the interior of the room gradually regained some light.

Bai He suddenly remembered something.

He searched around and took out a luminous pearl.

The room immediately became several times brighter.

"Master, what is this? It looks very valuable." Zhang Hao had naturally entered the room to avoid the rain as well.

Seeing the luminous pearl in Bai He’s hand, he could not help but move closer.

Bai He tossed the luminous pearl upward.

Like a lamp, it floated in the air and illuminated the entire room.

"It seems that no one has lived here."

The inside of the room was covered in dust.

It looked like no one had come here for a very long time.

Ye Shiyuan took a chair, cleaned it slightly, and then let Bai He sit down.

"Senior Brother was so fierce toward Master earlier. I never expected that at critical moments, he would still be so respectful and caring toward Master."

Zhang Hao had also wiped down a chair.

However, he was a step slower than Ye Shiyuan.

His tone carried a faint hint of bitterness.

He put the chair down and sat on it.

Outside, the rain continued falling harder and harder.

There was no sign that it would stop.

"Master, where is Junior Brother?"

"Oh, Xiao Feng came with me. However, after arriving here, we separated. I also do not know where he went."

Ye Shiyuan nodded.

There did not seem to be much worry in his eyes.

Xu Feng had lived in this place before.

As long as he did not encounter some kind of abnormal monster, he probably would not face much danger.

As someone from the Nightwatchers Tribe, even if he could not defeat his opponent, he could still choose to escape in the end.

"However, I gave him some magical treasures. He should not have any major problems."

Bai He gave a dry explanation.

Ye Shiyuan reached out and gently fixed Bai He’s slightly messy long hair.

His eyes were filled with tenderness.

"When Master came here, what did you encounter?"

Uh...

About that...

Bai He felt a little embarrassed to say it.

He could not exactly say that right after arriving here, people had already coveted his appearance.

Would that not sound a little too narcissistic?

"No, nothing!"

Bai He looked away.

Ye Shiyuan noticed something.

"You cannot tell me?"

"I already solved it anyway. Besides, you have not told me what you encountered after coming here either."

Ye Shiyuan smiled and began to explain. "When I arrived here, I came to this area nearby. To be honest, I was very uncomfortable at first. Occasionally, I would go to Nameless Inn and sit there for a while, thinking about contacting Master. I was also very happy whenever we could communicate."

The communication bell could still be used normally if one person was outside and the other person was inside Heiyuan City.

However, once both people entered Heiyuan City, it completely lost its function.

"Last night and tonight, did you try to contact me?"

"Of course. However, Master did not respond."

The two of them continued talking as if no one else was around.

On the side, Zhang Hao watched them with great interest.

After a while, he finally could not hold back and asked. "Master, is there some kind of unknown relationship between you and Senior Brother?"

Uh...

Bai He’s cheeks turned slightly red.

It seemed that his relationship with Ye Shiyuan really was somewhat obvious.

However, Ye Shiyuan immediately looked over with a cold gaze. "Does that have anything to do with you?"

Zhang Hao pouted and stopped speaking.

Feeling extremely wronged, he walked over to the entrance.

Under the roof eaves, the rain could not reach him.

Bai He was not worried.

After all, someone as shamelessly persistent as Zhang Hao...

There was no way he would leave.

At this moment, he was like a guardian statue, standing by the entrance.

"Master has really decided to bring him along."

"Let him come with us."

Bai He nodded.

Although Ye Shiyuan was unwilling deep down, this was Bai He’s decision.

So he could only agree.

"Alright. Then I will listen to Master."
