Chapter 130: Caught Red-Handed

Bai He had originally thought his days would be peaceful for a few days.

But only two days after returning, the Third Elder and the Fourth Elder arrived together at Baize Peak.

This gave Bai He quite a fright.

"Third Senior Sister, Fourth Senior Brother, what brings you here?"

Bai He wanted to reach out and hide those few books, but it was clearly too late.

He could only pray in his heart that they hadn’t seen them.

In truth, there wasn’t really anything inappropriate in those storybooks.

He was just afraid they would say he was neglecting his proper duties or something like that.

But as it turned out, what he feared most came to pass.

Zhou Yifei still saw them.

After casually flipping through a couple of pages, she set them down. "Bai He, instead of cultivating properly on Baize Peak, you spend your days reading these things."

"Third Senior Sister, this is just to pass the time. I haven’t been slacking off on my cultivation."

He wanted to snatch them back, but a cold glance from Gu He startled him into taking a step back.

Gu He also opened one and took a look one of the book.

The content was somewhat vulgar, but it wasn’t quite what he had imagined either.

"Is it just these two books? Where are the others? Hand over all of them."

Bai He pressed his lips together, looking troubled. "Fourth Senior Brother, there are only these few. There really aren’t any others."

His life was truly miserable, getting scolded even for reading books. They were just some romantic storybooks, nothing serious at all.

He felt like a child being lectured by his guardians. But he was already grown up adult and still being reprimanded like this, it was really...

Gu He, however, clearly didn’t believe him.

If Bai He had only been reading these, he shouldn’t have said those kinds of things.

After sweeping his gaze around the room, Gu He indeed spotted several books in a cabinet. "What are those inside?"

When Bai He first came here, those books had already been there.

He had been too lazy to bother with them, so he had simply left them untouched.

How could he have known what they were?

So he shook his head. "I don’t know, Fourth Senior Brother."

He didn’t know?

Gu He still didn’t believe him.

With a wave of his hand, he directly pulled those books over.

Zhou Yifei picked one up, opened it, and after taking a glance, she immediately became flustered with anger and threw it away.

Gu He’s expression turned even uglier.

Furious, he threw the books onto the ground. "Bai He!"

After being shouted at by Gu He, Bai He had no idea what had happened and was completely confused.

When he lowered his head to look at the books that had been thrown onto the ground, he was instantly dumbfounded.

He had always thought that he himself was already neglecting his duties enough, but he had never imagined that someone could be even worse.

Bai He... oh Bai He... the Bai He from the original story... he had truly dragged him into trouble.

The images in those erotic illustrations were simply too indecent to look at.

"Bai He, what explanation do you have now? I am truly disappointed in you." Gu He angrily flicked his sleeve and left.

After Zhou Yifei regained her composure, she stood up. "Bai He, you’re still young. There are some things you’d better not get involved with for now."

"Third Senior Sister, actually I—"

"Enough. Reflect on yourself properly. Come to Yaoxing Peak tomorrow."

Bai He wanted to explain, but he had no idea how to even begin explaining.

Say that this matter wasn’t his doing?

But given the current situation, even if it wasn’t done by him, it had already become something attributed to him.

He really wanted to have a good cry.

This kind of grievance who could possibly endure it?

But what made him want to cry even more was still yet to come.

Not long after Zhou Yifei and Gu He left, he hadn’t even finished cleaning up.

Ye Shiyuan and Xu Feng rushed in.

They had seen Zhou Yifei and Gu He leave in a fury, so they were worried about him and came to check on him.

As soon as Bai He saw the two of them, he immediately hid the erotic illustrations that had been thrown on the ground.

But it was a case of trying to cover up only to make it more obvious and the two of them immediately noticed something was off.

"Ah, Master, you actually secretly look at this kind of thing behind me and Senior Brother’s backs. You... could it be that you have some bad intentions toward me and Senior Brother...?"

As Xu Feng spoke, he pulled his clothes tighter around himself as if Bai He was about to do something to him.

Bai He couldn’t help but roll his eyes at him. "What nonsense are you talking about? Get out."

As if he would ever take a liking to him, Bai He sneered inwardly.

Bai He pretended to remain calm as he hid the two books.

After they left, it wouldn’t be too late for him to destroy them.

"Master, could it be that while Junior Brother and I didn’t know, you were secretly reading this kind of book?"

Why was Ye Shiyuan saying this too?

Bai He looked up at him in disbelief, but the look in Ye Shiyuan’s eyes was actually serious.

He truly believed that Bai He would do such a thing.

After all, there weren’t many people in the Lingguang Sect who could come up to Baize Peak.

Moreover, anyone who could come here wouldn’t possibly slander him.

"I didn’t." Other than those two dry words, Bai He couldn’t say anything else. "I don’t care, anyway, I didn’t."

He insisted firmly that he hadn’t done it, no matter how Ye Shiyuan and Xu Feng viewed him.
