Chapter 204: Bai He Confronts the Pagoda Master

Compared to the previous time when he had snuck in, it was completely different.

Along the way, he saw quite a few people, but he did not see Ye Shiyuan at all.

Finally, he arrived outside the Spirit Pagoda building and went up to the second floor.

When Ning Huasang saw Bai He, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He even wondered if the guards at the entrance had made a mistake.

Was this little boy really a Lingguang Sect elder?

"Pagoda Master, hello. My name is Bai He, the fifth elder of the Lingguang Sect. I have come here specifically to deal with the matter of Su Yuluan."

"Su Yuluan used your Lingguang Sect’s token and secretly broke into the Spirit Pagoda. I wonder what kind of explanation your Lingguang Sect intends to give us for this matter?"

Bai He and Ning Huasang sat down together, facing each other like they were negotiating.

Bai He raised an eyebrow. "Miss Su does indeed carry our Lingguang Sect’s token, but she is not a disciple of our Lingguang Sect. She has only been in the sect for a few months. I think her sneaking into the Spirit Pagoda shows conduct that is certainly not something our Lingguang Sect would teach."

When Bai He said this, he actually felt a little guilty.

After all, he had also sneaked in before.

But as long as he was not getting caught, it counted as skill.

"So Elder Bai means..."

"Miss Su is a member of the Qixiu Valley. Because she has taken a liking to my disciple, she stayed in the Lingguang Sect in order to develop feelings with him. However, my disciple just so happened to come to the Spirit Pagoda, so she followed him here."

Ning Huasang thought for a moment and asked, "Your disciple? You are talking about Ye Shiyuan?"

Bai He raised an eyebrow. "That is correct, it is Ye Shiyuan. I did not expect Pagoda Master Ning to actually know him."

"He just took my divine beast, the Flamming Golden Holy Bird, away yesterday. How could I not remember him? Your disciple is quite as arrogant as you are. I even intended to betroth my daughter to him, but he rejected it without hesitation."

Bai He immediately became angry upon hearing this.

"Is Pagoda Master Ning’s daughter unable to be married off? She casually offers her to others just like that. Ye Shiyuan is my disciple, and his marriage is my responsibility. In the future, there is no need for Pagoda Master Ning to worry about it. As for what you said about arrogance, there is no helping it. In today’s Lingguang Sect, even Pagoda Master Ning must show some respect and yield three parts."

If it were anyone else who intruded into the Spirit Pagoda, Ning Huasang would definitely have killed them without hesitation.

After all, he would still have his own justification if he said it out.

But precisely because it was the token of the Lingguang Sect, he hesitated.

After all, under the heavens, no one had ever dared to provoke someone from the Lingguang Sect.

Bai He was also not afraid of Ning Huasang now.

Since he had come here, the entire Lingguang Sect already knew about it.

Moreover, he was a disciple of Yi Xing.

What could Ning Huasang possibly do to him?

"Elder Bai... Good, very good."

"It is Pagoda Master Ning who has too many thoughts. Ye Shiyuan is my disciple. How can you try to use a marriage alliance to bring him under your control while I am not around? That is truly improper conduct."

Ning Huasang did not expect that his little scheme would actually be seen through by such a young man.

It seemed he truly could not underestimate any elder of the Lingguang Sect.

"Then Elder Bai, how should we handle Su Yuluan? Should we kill her? After all, she is not a member of the Lingguang Sect."

"She is indeed not a member of the Lingguang Sect, but if we just kill her like this, it will be difficult to explain to the Qixiu Valley. I ask Pagoda Master Ning to send someone to escort her back to the Qixiu Valley and inform the Valley Master Gao. I believe she will give you a satisfactory answer."

Ning Huasang stood up and walked toward the window, then said, "Then this matter will be handled according to Elder Bai’s suggestion."

"Father."

At this moment, Ning Rongrong ran in.

She had not expected that in her father’s study, there would be such a young-looking man.

Bai He subconsciously shifted his gaze away.

He had met Ning Rongrong before. Would she recognize him?

"Host, do not be afraid. Back then, you were disguised. She absolutely cannot recognize you."

After hearing this, Bai He felt slightly more confident and could not help but speak. "This must be Pagoda Master Ning’s daughter. Indeed, she is stunningly beautiful, but Ye Shiyuan does not like her."

After saying that, Bai He walked out.

Ning Rongrong stared in the direction Bai He had left.

That figure looked somewhat familiar as if she had seen it somewhere before.

"Father, who was that? Why have I never seen him before? Does our Spirit Pagoda have such a person?"

"That is Ye Shiyuan’s master, Elder Bai He of the Lingguang Sect."

"Ye Shiyuan’s master?" Ning Rongrong did not believe it.

Someone like Ye Shiyuan, his master should definitely be a powerful expert in cultivation.

How could it be such a small and young looking man?

Fortunately, Bai He did not know this, otherwise he would definitely have refuted it.

It is true that a famous teacher produces outstanding disciples, but there is also another saying.

The master leads you in, but cultivation depends on the individual.

Ye Shiyuan’s current achievements are mainly due to his own hard work, not how much his master helped him.

Yao Xiangli was the same, and so was he.

Bai He walked out of the Spirit Pagoda and Xu Feng then spoke. "Master, you were too imposing just now. That Ning Huasang looked at me in a way that made me so scared I did not dare to speak."
