Chapter 125: The Jade Pendant Truth

"You’re saying this jade pendant belongs to you?" His tone was calm, yet carried a trace of threat.

"Yes." The few of them could only brace themselves and answer.

"This is my possession."

A clear voice suddenly rang out.

When they look up, the few of them were so frightened that they immediately knelt on the ground.

"True Person."

Qi Yunfei walked over to Bai He, took the jade pendant from Gu He’s hand, and said, "I don’t know how long ago this was lost. I didn’t expect it to be found again. This is my item."

Since it belonged to Qi Yunfei, how could it possibly belong to a few disciples of the Qinghai Sect?

The expressions of the few people shifted uneasily.

Qi Yunfei’s voice was calm as she said, "Bai He, remember to show your face more often when you come out, so that everyone can recognize you as an elder of the Lingguang Sect. Otherwise, incidents like today will happen again."

Bai He smiled slyly as he moved away from Gu He and went to cling to Qi Yunfei’s arm instead. "Sister, I just wanted to see whether Fourth Senior Brother would stand up for me in a situation like this."

Gu He glared at Bai He, realizing that he had been tricked again.

Just now, he had truly been angry and hadn’t even suspected that Bai He was deceiving him.

"But Fourth Senior Brother is really great. Sister, how did your conversation go?"

Qi Yunfei did not answer that question. A trace of gentleness passed through her gaze. "I have to go now. See you later. Thank you for finding the jade pendant."

After saying that, Qi Yunfei gently withdrew her hand and, with a graceful movement, she flew off into the distance.

Bai He watched her, then unconsciously asked, "Fourth Senior Brother, you haven’t settled it yet, have you?"

Gu He didn’t say anything, but he still felt grateful to Bai He.

If not for Bai He, perhaps he wouldn’t even have had the courage to say those words.

Even though Qi Yunfei had not given him a clear answer, she hadn’t rejected him either.

She had even warmly invited him to visit her more often in the future to drink tea together and discuss cultivation methods and ways to improve their strength.

For Gu He, that alone already made him very happy.

As for the three people kneeling on the ground, they were already so frightened that they didn’t know what to do.

That little boy who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old was actually an elder of the Lingguang Sect.

Not only that, he could chat and laugh with the already renowned Gu He, and he had even been so intimate with True Person Qi Yunfei just now.

At this moment, they finally realized that this person was not someone they could afford to provoke.

But whether they could afford it or not, they had already provoked him.

The few of them exchanged glances and then tried to quietly slip away... Only to be caught red handed by Bai He. "Where do you think you’re going?"

After bullying him, they still wanted to sneak away quietly wasn’t that a bit too rude?

After learning that Bai He was an elder, the few of them were so frightened that they didn’t know what to do.

They all knew how powerful the elders of the Lingguang Sect were.

"Elder, please spare us this time. We know we were wrong. We shouldn’t have tried to take the jade pendant for ourselves just because we saw that it was a valuable item."

In Bai He’s eyes, it was just an ordinary jade pendant, but in reality, it only looked ordinary on the outside but it possessed other unexpected effects.

After all, how could something belonging to True Person Qi Yunfei be anything inferior?

"From now on, you are not allowed to look down on others, nor are you allowed to bully the weak at will. Otherwise... I’ll tell my Fourth Senior Brother." Bai He pointed at Gu He. "If you can defeat him, then of course you don’t have to listen."

Gu He was speechless.

He had somehow been pushed out by Bai He to play the role of the villain.

He figured that after these disciples returned, they would definitely report this to their master, perhaps even to Fang Lansheng... and since they hardly knew Bai He, the name they would mention would certainly be his.

"Yes, yes, yes, thank you, Elder, for your mercy."

After saying that, the few of them scrambled away in a panic, crawling and stumbling as they left.

Bai He couldn’t help but laugh when he saw their miserable state.

"Fourth Senior Brother, that was quite amusing."

"And you can still laugh? Knowing that the Qinghai Sect already has conflicts with our Lingguang Sect, today’s incident will likely escalate those tensions."

Bai He blinked his eyes, looking completely unconcerned. "Fourth Senior Brother, why should we worry about that? That’s something our Senior Brother should worry about. If anyone’s going to have a headache, it’ll be him. What does it have to do with us?"

"I think you’re asking to be scolded again."

Bai He shut his mouth and the two of them returned together.

When they got back to their temporary residence, everyone was already prepared.

Bai He released Gu He’s arm and walked over to Ye Shiyuan and Xu Feng. "How did the two of you rest last night?"

"Mm, Master," Ye Shiyuan replied.

Xu Feng on the other hand seemed to recall something he had done the previous night and looked somewhat embarrassed.

Today was the grand occasion of True Person Qi Yunfei’s birthday banquet, so everyone had to attend the party.

Various sects had sent important figures to offer their congratulations.

They went together with Su Yuluan following behind them.

Bai He kindly reminded her, "Miss Su, why don’t you go over to the Qixiu Valley side? Their people have also come this time."
