Chapter 400: The Four Challenges

Even a person like his Master could not avoid needing to go through a process of growth. After that, he established the Lingguang Sect and created the Demon Cave.

In the end, he abandoned both the Lingguang Sect and the Demon Cave, swearing that he would never interfere in the affairs of the cultivation world again. He then disappeared for several years without returning.

If you said he was responsible, then he was responsible occasionally, but most of the time, he was truly enough to make people grit their teeth in frustration.

"His life over the years has certainly been quite eventful. Since that is the case, why did he send you to this place?"

"He probably wanted me to gain experience."

"After he left, in all these years, only around a dozen people have managed to leave Heiyuan City. Do you have the ability to do it?"

Although Bai He did not have that ability, getting through the Astral Glass and everything else should not be too much of a problem.

As for Ye Shiyuan and Xu Feng, they had both been very lucky in the original story, so there should not be any major problems either. "Thank you for your concern, Senior. I will definitely do my best."

"Who said I was concerned about you? You are his disciple. Why would I care about you?" Miao Ansu turned around. "However, for the sake of an old friend, you can take your people and leave my territory."

"Thank you, Senior." Bai He felt that it was better for them to leave. Since Mo Zhu had said that there was naturally a destined connection between people, and since Xu Feng was destined to end up with Miao Ansu, once their fate brought them together, they would meet again eventually.

...

Bai He hurriedly came out.

Ye Shiyuan quickly walked over. "He’er, are you alright?"

"Nothing happened. Miss Miao is actually a very good person." Bai He glanced at Xu Feng beside him. "Xiao Feng, how did you feel when you saw Miss Miao?"

"Master, you are being strange." Xu Feng looked wary and disgusted.

Bai He tugged at the corner of his mouth. It was all because of his gossipy personality. He could not change it all of a sudden. "Forget it. I will not ask."

Ye Shiyuan felt that Bai He was acting very strangely. Why had he suddenly become so concerned about Xu Feng’s marriage?

After they returned to the ninth room, Xu Feng seemed as though he had not been able to properly rest for a long time. He quickly fell asleep.

Bai He, however, still had to deal with the matter of leaving this place.

"He’er."

Bai He turned his head and glanced at Ye Shiyuan. "Why have you not gone to rest?"

Ye Shiyuan sat down opposite him. "If something is bothering you, you can tell me."

Bai He looked as though something really was bothering him. Ye Shiyuan did not like it when Bai He kept things from him. Between the two of them, there should be nothing they could not talk about.

Bai He rested his chin on his hand. "Tomorrow, I am going to challenge the master of the fifth floor."

"If you cannot defeat him, then I will stay here with you. Whenever you manage to defeat him, we will leave together."

Just look at how good Ye Shiyuan was.

Bai He felt somewhat moved in his heart and even wanted to hug him and cry for a while. He was not worried about being bewitched by the Astral Glass, but he was afraid that he would not be able to defeat the master of the fifth floor.

"You really do not need to worry about me."

"How could I possibly not worry about you?"

Ye Shiyuan reached out and held the hand Bai He had placed on the table. "Do not worry, Master."

"Mm."

Actually, there was another thing Bai He was worried about, and that was Xu Feng.

If Bai He and Ye Shiyuan challenged the masters of the fourth and fifth floors, then Xu Feng would have to challenge the master of the third floor or above.

Zhang Hao had originally been the master of the third floor, but now he was also Xu Feng’s junior brother, so Xu Feng most likely would not choose him.

The first and second floors... After coming here, Bai He had heard that the masters of the first and second floors were deeply feared by everyone, and their reputations were extremely intimidating.

Even Zhang Hao had said that he had challenged the master of the second floor many times. But every single time, he had failed.

...

The next day.

Bai He looked at Xu Feng, who was full of energy.

Zhang Hao had come again. He had probably already started treating this place as his own home.

"Master, when are we going to challenge the Astral Glass?"

"We do not qualify yet."

Zhang Hao chose another way to ask. "Then, Master, when are you going to challenge the master of the fifth floor?"

"Soon."

"What fifth floor? Master, why did I not know about this?" Xu Feng was still completely confused. After all, as soon as he had arrived here, he had gone to Ciyun Mansion and had then been placed under what was essentially house arrest. There were many things he knew nothing about. He had also gone to bed early yesterday, so Bai He had not even had time to tell him.

After clearing his throat, Bai He told Xu Feng everything about how they could leave this place.

Xu Feng looked thoughtful. "I see. So there are four of us now. Junior Brother is already the master of the third floor. That leaves only me, Master, and Senior Brother. Master is going to challenge the fifth floor, so what about Senior Brother..."

"The fourth floor." Ye Shiyuan still had not changed his mind.

Xu Feng glanced at Zhang Hao and then said, "I have decided. I am going to challenge the first floor."
