Chapter 387: The Mysterious Third Floor Master

"If she can give up on me, then that would naturally be better for her."

Bai He moved closer to him. "But why does she call you in such an intimate way?"

"How would I know?" Even Ye Shiyuan himself had no idea about that.

Bai He gave a soft snort and deliberately imitated the woman’s voice. "Brother Shiyuan?"

Ye Shiyuan froze slightly.

Bai He was clearly trying to make him uncomfortable. However, what Bai He did not know was that this kind of thing depended entirely on who was saying it.

When Bai He said those words, and when someone else said those words, they felt completely different.

"Master, could you say it one more time?" He had not been disgusted by it at all. Instead, he actually wanted to hear Bai He call him that one more time.

"You really want to be my big brother?" Bai He widened his eyes. Ye Shiyuan’s preferences were truly impossible to figure out.

Ye Shiyuan scratched his hair, looking somewhat embarrassed. However, the voice Bai He had used earlier when he had not been genuinely serious about calling him "Brother Shiyuan" continued to linger in his ears. He raised his eyes and glanced at Bai He before silently looking away again.

Bai He still managed to catch Ye Shiyuan’s gaze. He leaned closer and narrowed his eyes. "Ye Shiyuan, you would not happen to have some kind of special preference, would you?"

"Of course not." Ye Shiyuan immediately denied it.

It was only because the person saying it was him that those four words sounded particularly pleasant to him. If someone else called him that way, he would feel nothing at all. In fact, he would even feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Brother Shiyuan?"

Ye Shiyuan never would have expected Bai He to call him that again.

"Master, actually, you do not have to."

Since Bai He was unwilling to call him that, then forget it. Ye Shiyuan did not want to force him.

"I’ve thought about it. While we’re here, we should just do as we did before and address each other as brothers. It will be much simpler and more natural. What do you think?"

Ye Shiyuan had no right to object. "Then... while we’re here, can I call you by your name?"

Bai He thought about it for a moment. "You mean calling me Xiao He?"

It seemed that very few people called him that. Other than his Master, only his senior brothers and senior sisters had ever addressed him that way.

A faint light of anticipation filled Ye Shiyuan’s eyes. At the same time, he worried that suddenly calling Bai He by his name might be a little disrespectful.

Bai He really had to admit that Ye Shiyuan’s cautious and careful manner was incredibly amusing.

"It is perfectly normal for an elder brother to call his younger brother by his name, isn’t it?"

In truth, Ye Shiyuan had wanted to call Bai He by his name for a very long time.

"He’er!"

"Why not Xiao He?"

"Because too many people already call you Xiao He. I wanted to call you something different."

Naturally, Bai He was not the type to fuss over such a small matter, so he readily agreed.

"It’s coming, it’s coming..."

As they were speaking, a commotion suddenly came from outside, as if some important figure was about to arrive.

It was obvious that everyone was extremely nervous.

Bai He and Ye Shiyuan’s attention was temporarily drawn toward the commotion as well, and they were curious about who exactly was coming.

Very soon, someone walked in.

Bai He felt that this person looked somewhat familiar.

The person was also wearing a black robe that was almost exactly the same as Bai He’s. His appearance could not be seen clearly, but judging from his build, he should be a man.

As he walked past, Bai He could vaguely see something written on the black robe.

The number three.

Three?

Bai He thought to himself. Could he be the master of the third floor?

Just as Bai He was thinking this, the people nearby began discussing among themselves, and what they were saying happened to match his own thoughts.

He really was the master of the third floor?

In other words, this person would be one of the opponents that he and Ye Shiyuan would have to face in the future.

He was truly mysterious.

Bai He’s gaze remained fixed on this person almost the entire time. Then, all of a sudden, the man turned around.

Bai He was startled and immediately withdrew his gaze. For some reason, he suddenly felt the awkward embarrassment of someone who had been caught secretly staring at another person.

Not only that, but there was also a faint sense of familiarity.

Strange... Where exactly was this feeling coming from?

"He’s here. Do you feel like you know him, He’er?"

Bai He realized only afterward that Ye Shiyuan was calling his name.

"Mm."

"Do you want to know who he is?"

Bai He looked at Ye Shiyuan curiously. "You know?"

Ye Shiyuan smiled at him and the cup in his hand suddenly flew out.

The master of the third floor, who had just been about to sit down, quickly caught the projectile Ye Shiyuan had thrown at him.

This should count as a hidden weapon, right?

The cup was firmly held in his palm, and he still calmly sat down. Then, the cup in his hand flew out. It shot directly toward Ye Shiyuan, who naturally caught it calmly and without any trouble.

Everyone present could not help but feel shocked. One was the vicious master of the third floor, while the other was Ye Shiyuan.

Although Ye Shiyuan was only a newcomer, he was already the master of the ninth floor and had gained some reputation here. His strength should have been the strongest among those who had arrived in Heiyuan City recently. But even so, did he really have what it took to compete with the master of the third floor?
