Chapter 384: A New Home

The fact that the master of this floor had changed had not yet been revealed. Someone would come over to clean it up later.

Bai He quietly reached out and took Ye Shiyuan’s hand. Ye Shiyuan was slightly stunned.

Bai He’s gaze had become somewhat strange as he said, "Shiyuan, actually, you do not need to deliberately hide anything in front of me. You can just be yourself."

"Master..."

"Did you kill Si Xia because of me?"

"Master, how did you know?"

Bai He had not thought much about it at first, but after Mo Zhu said it, and now that he had seen Ye Shiyuan’s expression, he was certain.

"Because I know you very well."

"Truly, there is nothing I can hide from you. However, there are some things, Master, that you do not need to know. She simply deserved to die."

Ye Shiyuan’s selfish motives and Si Xia’s death were not contradictory at all.

"Shiyuan, if I had really died just now, what would you have done?" Bai He asked curiously once again. Then he suddenly felt Ye Shiyuan’s grip on his hand tighten. It was somewhat uncomfortable.

"Mm."

Ye Shiyuan’s expression became solemn as he said, "Master, do not say things like that. Do not think about leaving me."

"I..."

"If you had really died just now, I might have destroyed this entire place." Ye Shiyuan showed no intention of joking at all.

Bai He and Ye Shiyuan went back together to search for Zhang Hao. Of course, they did not find him. They also had no idea where he had gone. Forget it. They had only met by chance in the first place.

Bai He had already helped him more than enough.

"Master, let us go back first."

Since they could not find Zhang Hao, Bai He had no choice but to temporarily listen to Ye Shiyuan.

...

They successfully settled into the ninth floor.

Everything here had become completely different from when Bai He and Ye Shiyuan had first arrived.

The room had been completely cleaned and renovated.

There were several rooms inside and Bai He chose one of them.

After Ye Shiyuan tidied it up a little, it was ready for him to move in. Bai He awkwardly scratched his hair and said, "Shiyuan, I cannot believe I still have to make you take care of me."

As his Master’s disciple, he should have been the one arranging everything for his disciple. Yet in the end, he still had to rely on Ye Shiyuan to take care of him. He suddenly felt that he had not come here to help Ye Shiyuan at all. Instead, he had come here purely to cause trouble for Ye Shiyuan.

"Host, please do not think like that. Although there are some things you are not good at, there are always things that you are good at."

Sometimes, the things Mo Zhu said truly made Bai He feel warm inside.

"Master, this is what I should do. I will sleep in the room next door. If you need anything, you can call me."

"Oh."

"Master, no matter who knocks on the door, do not open it. Do not go outside casually either. If you want to leave, you must tell me first." Ye Shiyuan repeatedly reminded Bai He, clearly extremely worried about him.

When he heard this, Bai He could not help but laugh and said, "Shiyuan, you really are treating me like a child. You are only a few years older than me."

Even though he was only a few years older than her, he seemed to have become like an elder to her.

Ye Shiyuan raised his hand and gently rubbed Bai He’s hair. "Even if I am only a few years older than you, I left Lingguang Sect to travel and gain experience. The things I have experienced are still far greater than what you have experienced, Master, are they not?"

"Shiyuan, do you know how we can leave this place?"

Ye Shiyuan nodded. "We must reach the highest floor."

"Then why do we not directly challenge the person on the highest floor?"

Would that not solve everything?

Ye Shiyuan thought about it for a moment. "Although I am very happy that Master trusts me enough to believe that I can defeat anyone, Master, starting from the fifth floor, we cannot challenge people by skipping floors. We must proceed one floor at a time. We should settle down here first, and then carefully observe the opponents we will have to face later. Would that not be better?"

Bai He nodded and he felt that what Ye Shiyuan said made a lot of sense. "That is true."

"It is getting late. Master, you should rest early."

Bai He obediently closed his eyes. Only after hearing Ye Shiyuan’s footsteps leave his room did Bai He open his eyes again.

"Host, are you still thinking about Zhang Hao?"

"If someone died like that because of my momentary negligence, then I would indeed feel somewhat guilty."

Although Bai He understood in his heart that Zhang Hao might not be as ordinary as he appeared. He might even have some unknown circumstances that no one knew about. He might even have been showing him nothing but falsehoods, with everything he had revealed in front of her being nothing more than an act.

"Forget it. I will stop thinking about it." Bai He still closed his eyes. He had already gone looking for Zhang Hao himself, so he had done everything he could. Even if something happened afterward, it had nothing to do with him.

After coming to this place, he could finally get a good night’s sleep. Bai He licked the corner of his lips. Although he could go for a very long time without eating anything at all, there were times when delicious food was simply impossible to resist.

It would be nice if there were something delicious to eat. However, he also knew that in a place like this, where could they possibly find good food? Being able to live here safely was already more than enough.
