Chapter 402: The First Floor’s Master

"How did you find out? Since he created you, it would be impossible for him to let you know about your origins."

Originally, he definitely would not have known. But he was no longer the same Bai He he had been before.

"I know. Actually, I cannot even be considered a person." Bai He almost bit his tongue. Why did it sound as though he were insulting himself when he put it that way?

But it was the truth.

Bai He could not be considered a complete person. To be more precise, Bai He was someone who had already died. However, Yi Xing had defied the heavens and changed his fate.

At the moment of Bai He’s last breath, Yi Xing had merged his own blood into Bai He’s body, combined with the hard earned immortal herb he had obtained, and gave Bai He a new life. He had even reconstructed Bai He’s body.

This new body was much stronger than Bai He’s original body. This was also the reason why Bai He was stronger in this aspect than other people. He was simply more durable.

"Where is him?"

"My Master travels around various places and has not appeared for a very long time. I came to Heiyuan City this time to gain experience. Senior Qin Tao, did you know my Master?"

Qin Tao snorted coldly. "I do not know him."

Who would believe that? From that arrogant tone, Bai He instantly gained some understanding of what kind of person Qin Tao was.

"After my Master left Heiyuan City back then, he went through many things before eventually establishing the Lingguang Sect. But now, he has handed the Lingguang Sect over to my Senior Brother and no longer cares about these matters. As my Master’s old friend, you must have had some extraordinary experiences with him in Heiyuan City. Could you tell me about them?"

Bai He boldly guessed that Qin Tao’s relationship with Yi Xing was definitely not bad. It might even have been a very good one.

"He has been gone for so long. I am afraid he has already forgotten about me."

"How could that be? If my Master had forgotten you, he would not have told me your name when he gave me this token."

Qin Tao’s expression softened slightly. "What do you want?"

Bai He smiled awkwardly. "I just want to leave this place."

"Do you need me to help you?"

Bai He nodded. "I want to ask you, Senior, how did my Master pass through the Astral Glass back then?"

"Your Master? If you try to learn from your Master, you will not be able to get through it."

"Why?"

Was there really no experience he could share?

"Your Master relied on his brute strength to leave that place. In other words, as long as you are strong enough, you can do it."

Bai He tugged at the corner of his mouth. Compared to his Master’s strength... Even if it was his Master from back then, Bai He seemed to be nowhere near his opponent.

Bai He belonged to the support type, while Yi Xing clearly seemed to be the combat type. He wondered whether Ye Shiyuan could do it.

"Senior Qin Tao, you cannot do it either?"

"I simply do not want to leave this place. A mere Astral Glass may not necessarily be able to do anything to me." There it was again, that arrogant and tsundere tone.

Bai He felt somewhat discouraged.

"However..." Qin Tao suddenly changed his tone, and Bai He instantly felt that there might be some hope.

"Senior, what else is there?"

"You are not technically a person. Perhaps you can leave the Astral Glass easily."

That sounded so harsh. But Bai He had no way to refute it. He truly was not a complete person.

"Senior, it is not just me. I also have two disciples. No, three disciples."

"You came here with so many people?"

Bai He nodded. "Mm."

"I just checked your strength. I am afraid your disciples will not be able to do it."

Bai He immediately said, "My disciples are probably all stronger than I am."

Saying that out loud was so embarrassing.

But in this situation, he had no choice but to tell the truth.

"Your disciples are stronger than you?"

Even Qin Tao was surprised. Could Bai He possibly be talking nonsense?

"Yes."

"Then how did they become your disciples?" Judging from Bai He’s current age, there was no possibility that his disciples had surpassed their Master through years of cultivation and experience.

"Naturally, it was because of my personal charm that they became my disciples."

What personal charm? Surely he really did have that kind of thing, right?

Suddenly, Qin Tao’s expression changed slightly. "Little boy, wait here for me for a while."

"Senior, is something wrong?"

"Some people outside are being unruly and causing trouble. I will go deal with them, then come back to find you."

Who could be bold enough to cause trouble here? That was Bai He’s first thought, but he suddenly felt that something seemed wrong.

Wait, could it be...

"Senior, those people might be my disciples. I will go with you."

"Follow me." After sizing Bai He up for a moment, Qin Tao nodded in agreement.

Sure enough... the three people outside were exactly the three Bai He had expected.

Among them was Ye Shiyuan, whose face was filled with anger, along with Xu Feng and Zhang Hao. Xu Feng was helping Ye Shiyuan cast a spell, trying to open the door.

When the door opened, Bai He followed closely behind Qin Tao and came out.

"He’er?"

"Master."

Bai He gave an awkward smile. "I ended up talking with Senior Qin Tao for a little longer and forgot to tell you."

Qin Tao’s gaze naturally fell upon Ye Shiyuan. It was Ye Shiyuan who had made the move just now. He definitely had not mistaken him. "You are quite bold, daring to come here and cause trouble."
