Chapter 133: An Awkward Apology

After Yao Xiangli spoke, Bai He obediently returned to his seat.

With this kind of attitude in admitting his mistake, he had indeed resolved the situation quite easily.

The matters that followed basically had nothing to do with him anymore.

After all, just as Bai He himself had said earlier, he was not yet a truly qualified elder of the Lingguang Sect.

After the elders’ assembly ended, Bai He let out a sigh of relief and prepared to leave.

"Bai He."

"Senior Brother, is there anything else?"

"Don’t forget the one hundred copies of the Book of the Way and Its Virtue. Bring them to me in a few days for inspection."

Bai He’s expression immediately turned gloomy again, how had he forgotten about this?

Sigh...

"Yes, Senior Brother."

Bai He left Yaoxing Peak feeling dejected, but at the entrance, he saw Ye Shiyuan.

Just to watch him make a fool of himself, Ye Shiyuan had actually gone through the trouble of coming all the way here, how considerate of him.

Bai He was in a bad mood, so he naturally ignored Ye Shiyuan.

Perhaps... he wasn’t here for him after all.

Thinking this, Bai He walked past him, but Ye Shiyuan naturally followed behind him.

One in front and one behind, they soon arrived at the foot of Baize Peak.

"Master." Ye Shiyuan finally spoke.

Bai He paused and stopped. "Do you need something from me?"

"Master, did the Sect Leader make things difficult for you?"

Bai He shook his head, but when he thought about the one hundred copies of the Book of the Way and Its Virtue he had to write, he wisely nodded instead. "Mm."

One hundred copies... Was that something a human was supposed to do?

Bai He was already starting to worry about his wrists.

"Master, how did the Sect Leader make things difficult for you? Did he hit you?" Ye Shiyuan grew anxious.

Bai He was usually such a cheerful person and seeing him so downcast now naturally made him worried.

"He didn’t hit me, but I’d rather he did."

That way, he could be spared from copying the Book of the Way and Its Virtue one hundred times, wouldn’t that be better?

Bai He sighed, then immediately mounted his sword and flew back.

What was the point of staying here any longer?

He might as well go back and start copying.

Bai He had ignored Ye Shiyuan for several days now.

Even Xu Feng noticed this.

Bai He had shut himself inside his room and refused to see anyone.

Only when Xiao Cui and Xiao Wan returned would they bring food inside.

"Senior Brother, I really can’t take this anymore. Master wouldn’t actually abandon us, right?"

Before, when things were noisy and lively, it didn’t feel like much, but these past few days, Xu Feng felt suffocated.

"Hurry and tell me, after I left that day, what exactly did you say to Master to make him so angry? Not only is he not cultivating with us anymore, he won’t even come see us."

What Xu Feng said was actually correct.

Ye Shiyuan’s eyes darkened slightly. "I..."

He couldn’t say anything.

He only knew that at that moment, he had truly been very angry.

Had Bai He still not calmed down from his anger even now?

"Senior Brother, although I often annoy Master, he always forgives me quickly. But you... I think Master is really angry this time."

Ye Shiyuan’s expression turned solemn and he said nothing.

Bai He ate a few fruits that Xiao Cui had brought him.

After writing for so long, he had finally finished.

He collapsed onto the ground in exhaustion, not wanting to move at all.

"I’ll never make mistakes again."

"Host, you don’t need to worry. Your recovery ability will ensure that your arms won’t hurt after half a day."

Bai He felt like his arms no longer belonged to him.

"Even so, I shouldn’t push myself like this."

He angrily ate a few more fruits, feeling miserable.

Just then, a knock on the door interrupted him.

Bai He immediately tidied up the messy surroundings a bit, then got up to open the door.

It seemed he hadn’t gone out for a walk for several days.

When he opened the door, Ye Shiyuan was standing outside.

Bai He’s heart skipped a beat.

Just as he was about to speak, Ye Shiyuan spoke first, "Master, I have something to say to you."

Bai He originally wanted to invite him into the room, but his room was currently a mess, so it was better to talk outside.

"Mm, alright."

Bai He closed the door and went with Ye Shiyuan to sit in the courtyard.

There were fruits in the courtyard that Bai He liked to eat, so he picked some up and started eating.

It was said that eating more of these fruits would help him recover faster and they were all quite delicious.

"What did you want to say?"

"Master, are you angry?" Ye Shiyuan hesitated for a moment but still asked directly.

In fact, there was no need to ask.

He must be angry, otherwise, why would he refuse to see him for several days, even shutting himself inside his room?

"Angry? I am quite angry."

He had to copy it one hundred times, how could he not be angry?

Ye Shiyuan fell silent.

Bai He’s puffed-up angry expression fell into his eyes.

Perhaps he had only been curious, which was why he looked at those things.

Perhaps he hadn’t meant anything else, but some words had already been said.

"Master, if I apologize, will you stop being angry?"

Bai He’s heart skipped a beat.

Why was Ye Shiyuan apologizing to him?

The reason he was angry had nothing to do with him.

"Hm?"

Bai He looked at Ye Shiyuan with a puzzled expression, but Ye Shiyuan reached out and grabbed his right hand that was resting on the table.

Bai He’s right hand was already in intense pain.
