Chapter 104: A Gift of the Divine Sword

The atmosphere grew heavy once again.

Bai He was actually extremely nervous.

If Yao Xiangli refused to give it to him, then he truly had no other solution.

"Good, good! Then I, your Senior Brother, will give this sword to you as a gift."

The words were spoken through gritted teeth, making them sound especially frightening.

The Dawnmaker Divine Sword was thrown toward him.

Bai He instinctively reached out to catch it, but Ye Shiyuan stepped in front of him. "Be careful, Master."

Ye Shiyuan recalled what had happened when Xu Feng touched the Dawnmaker Sword.

Afraid that Bai He would suffer the same fate, he quickly grabbed the Dawnmaker Divine Sword that had been thrown over.

"How presumptuous. This sword is for your Fifth Junior Brother, not for you."

Ye Shiyuan hesitated for a moment. "Master, be careful."

Bai He felt puzzled, why did he need to be careful?

He reached out and touched the sword.

However, to his surprise, nothing happened.

When he looked at it more closely, the sword was indeed extraordinary.

No wonder everyone desired it.

"Then, Senior Brother, thank you."

"You may leave."

Bai He immediately left with Ye Shiyuan.

He did not want to stay there for even a moment longer.

After leaving Yaoxing Peak, Bai He finally let out a breath of relief before handing the sword back to Ye Shiyuan.

"That really scared me."

"Master, I’ve troubled you."

"It’s nothing. I’m just worried that if I make a mistake next time, I don’t know how Senior Brother will punish me. But I’m thick-skinned, so I’m not afraid. Besides, I still have my other senior brothers, they will all protect me. Let me tell you secretly, before my Master left, he specifically instructed them that no one was allowed to bully me, and they must take good care of me."

Ye Shiyuan had heard of this before.

This Fifth Elderbwho appeared young and weak was actually someone no one could afford to offend.

He was the final disciple of the founding ancestor of the Lingguang Sect.

If anything happened to him, the entire Lingguang Sect would not remain peaceful.

"Master, I will definitely use this sword to protect you."

Hearing this, Bai He finally felt more at ease.

This meant that he was one step closer to surviving until the end.

"Shiyuan, let’s go back quickly. Don’t let Senior Brother notice, or he will get angry."

"How did it go?"

A disciple outside had followed Bai He secretly under Yao Xiangli’s orders.

When he returned, he could only report everything he had seen to Yao Xiangli.

Yao Xiangli’s expression turned very unpleasant.

Dan Zhu waved his hand and only then did the disciple withdraw.

He then spoke, "Senior Brother, there’s no need to be so angry. What Bai He said wasn’t without reason. Keeping that sword serves no purpose for you."

"For the sake of that disciple, he really went to great lengths."

"Forget it. Why bother arguing with him over a useless sword? If Master returns and finds out you made him cry, wouldn’t he come to hold us accountable?"

Dan Zhu’s words actually carried only one meaning, that it was not worth it.

Yao Xiangli understood this as well. "I truly don’t know why Master values him so much."

Dan Zhu’s expression dimmed.

There were some things he knew, yet he could only keep them as secrets.

He absolutely could not tell Yao Xiangli.

"Senior Brother, don’t be angry. In the end, Ye Shiyuan is still a disciple of our Lingguang Sect. Giving the sword to him is not a big deal."

Yao Xiangli cast a glance at Dan Zhu. "The way Bai He is now isn’t it because all of you indulged him too much? His arrogant temperament and personality... Next time I punish him, none of you are allowed to plead on his behalf."

Dan Zhu was momentarily speechless, but he quickly spoke again.

"Fine, I won’t plead for him. But you should think it through carefully. When Master returns, I’m afraid none of us will plead for you either."

Yao Xiangli snorted coldly. "So you only know how to use Master to pressure me?"

Dan Zhu shrugged, indicating that he had no choice in the matter.

After all, they were all disciples of their Master.

No matter how capable they were, they still had to listen to him.

...

Bai He was in a good mood today.

However, the one feeling depressed was Xu Feng.

The injury on his fingers had not yet healed and the occasional pain served as a warning that he should not act recklessly.

Ye Shiyuan had gone off to cultivate and leaving the sword on the table.

Bai He traced the patterns on it with his fingers, looking rather pleased.

"Master, you’ve gone too far."

Bai He raised an eyebrow. "How have I gone too far?"

"Master, I really like that sword too. When will you also get me some kind of weapon..."

Bai He thought for a moment, then directly took out a bracelet from his treasure stash.

What he received in return was Xu Feng’s expression of complete disdain. "Master, you’re being too perfunctory. I don’t want this. I’m a grown man, why would I wear a bracelet?"

Bai He glared at him. "Stretch out your hand."

Though his mouth expressed reluctance, Xu Feng still extended his hand.

After Bai He placed it on him, in just a moment, the bracelet actually disappeared.

"Master, where did it go?"

"You can summon it with your thoughts!"

Xu Feng tried it and sure enough just as Bai He had said, the bracelet suddenly reappeared.

If he controlled it deliberately, wearing it on his wrist would not feel strange at all.

However, Xu Feng still looked confused. "Master, even so, why are you giving this to me?"

"This is called the Oroboros Habergeon Bracelet. My Master left it with me..."

"Master, isn’t it a bit inappropriate for you to give me something that the foundation ancestor left with you?"
