Chapter 109: A Disruptive Companion

"We’re going anyway, so what’s wrong with going together? Fourth Senior Brother, are you planning to sneak off and secretly deliver a gift to True Person Qi Yunfei?"

It was as if Bai He had hit the mark.

Gu He immediately became flustered and angry. "Y-you, shut up."

The more he told him to shut up, the less Bai He intended to comply. Instead, he said seriously, "Fourth Senior Brother, you should be a bit braver. You’re not young anymore, yet you still don’t know how to take the initiative and confess. If you don’t say anything, how will True Person Qi Yunfei ever know your feelings? Aren’t you afraid that someone else might beat you to it and you’ll never have another chance?"

Sometimes, it was necessary to create a sense of urgency.

"You’re just a little boy, what right do you have to lecture me on what to do?"

"That’s where you’re wrong. As long as what I say makes sense, why does my age matter? If you don’t want to go, then don’t go. This time when I go, I’ll definitely introduce a few suitable men to True Person Qi Yunfei. Let’s see whether you panic or not when the time comes."

Gu He was practically furious with Bai He.

His junior brother... why had he never realized before that he was like this?

"You!"

"Senior Brother, don’t be afraid. I’ll accompany you. I have a good relationship with True Person Qi Yunfei, so I can put in a few good words for you in front of her or you could write a love letter and I’ll deliver it for you."

Gu He fell into deep thought over Bai He’s words.

Although his tone was somewhat unreliable, what he said was not necessarily without reason.

He pressed his lips together, pondered for a moment, and then spoke.

"Junior Brother..."

"Mm, Fourth Senior Brother has figured it out, hasn’t he?"

"Perhaps what you said makes sense. I should take the initiative. After all... it’s been so many years. If someone else truly comes to like her, and she ends up with another person before I ever confess my feelings, I would feel extremely unwilling to accept it."

That kind of thinking was, of course, for the best.

"Exactly, Fourth Senior Brother! Don’t be afraid of being rejected. At critical moments, you have to remember to be brave."

"Alright, I praise you a little and you get carried away, is that it? Go back and prepare. Tomorrow we’ll set out together to find Qi Yunfei. And behave yourself along the way, this time, I won’t hesitate to discipline you."

Bai He deliberately put on a frightened expression and patted his chest.

"Wuwu, Fourth Senior Brother, you’re too fierce. I’m going to report you."

"Just shut up."

Bai He knew that Gu He wouldn’t actually hit him, he was just fierce with his words.

But how could things truly go exactly as Bai He had expected?

The next day, he was already waiting together with Ye Shiyuan and Xu Feng.

What he had not expected was that although Gu He had also arrived, there was an extra person with him and it was someone he absolutely did not want to see.

Su Yuluan had now changed into the uniform of a first-generation disciple of Lingguang Sect and disguising herself as a man.

However, the delicate refinement between her brows still made it obvious at a glance that she was a woman.

Bai He was not very pleased and asked curiously, "Fourth Senior Brother, why did you bring a woman along with us? Aren’t you afraid that True Person Qi Yunfei might misunderstand?"

Regarding this matter, Gu He was also quite helpless. "Junior Brother, there’s nothing I can do about it. It was Senior Brother’s decision, he told me to bring her along."

Yao Xiangli?

Bai He truly could not understand why Yao Xiangli wanted Su Yuluan to follow them.

Could it be that deep down, he actually approved of Su Yuluan being with Ye Shiyuan?

Please, Ye Shiyuan did not even like her.

A girlfriend who was this clingy and scheming was something Bai He as his master absolutely would not agree to.

Unless Ye Shiyuan liked her.

But that was absolutely impossible.

Since it was Yao Xiangli’s decision, Gu He would not refuse.

Bai He rubbed his nose; even if he disagreed, what could he do?

He still had to grit his teeth and go along.

He had thought he could go out and avoid things for a few days, but now...

"Fourth Senior Brother, how about you go ahead first? We need to make a stop at Nianbadu Ancient Town."

Nianbadu Ancient Town was a very mysterious place.

In Bai He’s view, it was essentially a massive trading marketplace.

There, one could obtain anything they desired.

However, the more precious the item, the greater the price one had to pay.

Some things could not even be bought with money unless the other party was willing to trade.

"What are you going to a place like that for?"

"To take a look around. Anyway, it’s not far from where you’re going. We’ll catch up soon. Fourth Senior Brother, we’ll head out first."

Bai He quickly left together with Ye Shiyuan and Xu Feng and flying away on their swords.

Gu He had wanted to say something more, but it was already too late.

Su Yuluan’s gaze darkened slightly and her expression did not look very good. "Fourth Elder, does Elder Bai He dislike me?"

"My junior brother... don’t take it to heart. Don’t mind him."

"I like Shiyuan, but Elder Bai He keeps stopping me from getting close to him again and again. I... I don’t know what I did to displease Elder Bai He, nor do I know how I might have offended him."

It must be said that Su Yuluan was the Valley Master of Qixiu Valley’s most favored disciple.

At such a young age, among all female cultivators her talent ranked among the very best.
