Chapter 391: The Eighth Floor’s Secret

Ye Shiyuan was looking for Zhang Hao?

If Bai He had not witnessed it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it.

"You came looking for me. What is the matter?" Zhang Hao’s tone was rather unfriendly.

Bai He, on the other hand, felt somewhat embarrassed, but Ye Shiyuan coldly asked, "He’er has encountered some problems. I want to ask you about the specific situation."

"Ask me? There is no need for that."

"I will speak, and you can listen. Of course, you do not have to answer."

Zhang Hao had never seen someone ask another person for help while sounding so righteous about it.

If this matter had anything to do with Ye Shiyuan, Zhang Hao would definitely have turned around and left without looking back.

However, since it involved Bai He, he reluctantly sat down and listened.

"He’er, go ahead." Bai He roughly told Zhang Hao about everything he had encountered over the past two days. At the end, he added, "Do you understand?"

"I understand."

"Then do you know what exactly is going on?" Bai He looked at Zhang Hao expectantly.

Since Zhang Hao had been patient enough to sit here and listen to him say so many things, perhaps he was not actually that hostile toward them after all.

However, Zhang Hao revealed a cold smile and said, "Why should I tell you?"

Bai He felt a surge of anger in his heart, but then he thought about it again. Why should the other person tell him anything?

Indeed, Zhang Hao had no obligation to tell him.

"Forget it then. Shiyuan, let’s go." Bai He stood up with a slight pout, grabbed Ye Shiyuan, and left.

Zhang Hao watched the backs of the two as they walked away, and his expression became much more solemn. "Yonghe, come here for a moment."

"Yes, Master. What orders do you have?"

After Zhang Hao quietly said a few words, the man named Yonghe immediately ran out.

...

"I did not expect you to come here too." Zhang Hao saw Ye Shiyuan on the eighth floor, and Ye Shiyuan naturally saw him as well.

The two of them disliked each other at first sight.

Ye Shiyuan curled his lips and said, "Were you not unwilling to help?"

"Hmph. Who told him to leave me behind back then and run off with you?" Just thinking about this matter made Zhang Hao angry.

"Petty and narrow minded. You are a man, yet you actually hold a grudge because my Master did not protect you."

Zhang Hao became furious. "You are so capable, then you do not need anyone to protect you."

"I naturally do not need anyone to."

Zhang Hao only felt that Ye Shiyuan was becoming more and more annoying.

"The person on the eighth floor has his eyes on Master. He will not let Master off so easily. When you trace it back, this is all your fault." Zhang Hao pushed all the responsibility onto Ye Shiyuan.

As for Ye Shiyuan, he genuinely had no idea what he had done wrong. "Because of me? But I have never offended him."

"But he keeps transforming into your appearance to deceive Master, does he not?"

Ye Shiyuan could not help retorting, "Do not keep calling him Master. He has not agreed to take you as his disciple yet. Besides, with the attitude you have shown today, do you really think you still have a chance?"

Zhang Hao, however, answered confidently, with a hint of pride in his voice. "Me? I am the master of the third room. If I want to become his disciple, why would he refuse to teach me? His swordsmanship is the swordsmanship I have liked the most out of everything I have ever seen. I want to learn from him."

"That is the Sky Cutting Sword Technique. You do not even have the Sky Cutting Sword, so what are you going to use to practice the Sky Cutting Sword Technique?"

Zhang Hao and Ye Shiyuan truly could not agree on even a single sentence.

"You... Ye Shiyuan, since you are Master’s disciple, then why have you and Master developed this kind of relationship? Master is so innocent. Did you deceive him?"

"He’er is a person, a living and breathing person. If he likes someone, he can be with that person. What is wrong with that?"

What Ye Shiyuan meant was that the person Bai He liked was him, so naturally Bai He would choose to be with him.

Zhang Hao looked at Ye Shiyuan with great dissatisfaction. The two of them were standing at the entrance to the eighth floor. "Let me tell you something. I am the master of the third floor. Once I go inside, he will not do anything to me. But you are the master of the ninth floor, so he will only meet you with weapons drawn. I suggest that you do not go inside. Or you could become my attendant. Then I can take you inside."

Zhang Hao looked at Ye Shiyuan provocatively. He wanted to knock some of the arrogance out of someone who was this proud and conceited.

"You think I am afraid of him?" After saying that, Ye Shiyuan had already pushed the door open and walked inside.

However, there was no one inside. Vaguely, several skeletons could be seen hanging on the walls, which looked extremely frightening.

"He is not here." Ye Shiyuan suddenly had a bad feeling. He quickly left the eighth floor and headed for the ninth floor.

Since that person had set his sights on Bai He, there was a possibility that he would use every moment while Ye Shiyuan was away to go looking for Bai He.

Zhang Hao froze for a moment before immediately following after him.

...

Bai He had never imagined that one day he would actually end up fighting Ye Shiyuan in such a way.

No, this person was not Ye Shiyuan at all. Yet he was wearing Ye Shiyuan’s face and attacking Bai He with all his strength. He was even launching attacks on a spiritual level.
