Chapter 224: Fifth Senior Brother Returns

Dai Mubai moved his wrist.

His palm was large as if it would slap Bai He’s face at any moment.

In a moment of urgency, Bai He shouted, "Fifth Senior Brother."

"What did you call me?"

"Fifth Senior Brother, I remember now. You are my Fifth Senior Brother."

"There are only five disciples under Yi Xing. Where did a sixth one come from? On what basis are you calling me Fifth Senior Brother?"

Seeing Dai Mubai pause his hand, Bai He immediately put on a crying expression.

"Wuwu... Fifth Senior Brother, my hands hurt. Those people tied me up so tightly, my skin is almost being rubbed raw."

Dai Mubai frowned slightly.

Seeing that Dai Mubai seemed a little shaken, Bai He quickly added. "Fifth Senior Brother, I just arrived here and I have not even eaten yet. I am almost starving to death."

"Enough, enough. Stop crying. Do not think I will soften my heart."

"Wuwu..."

Dai Mubai’s originally cold and hard expression instantly collapsed.

"Shut up."

"Fifth Senior Brother, I am in pain... I feel so bad..."

Dai Mubai rubbed his temples.

Why was he still like this?

After so many years, he had not changed at all.

Still as annoying as when he was a child.

"Shut up. I am not like them. Do not think that crying will make me let you go. If it were not for you, I would not have been expelled from the Lingguang Sect."

Dai Mubai was still deeply resentful about what happened back then.

Bai He suddenly cried even harder. "Fifth Senior Brother, after you left, Master often talked about you. He also deeply regretted expelling you in a moment of anger. He searched for you for a long time, but there was never any news of you."

Bai He was clearly making things up.

Whether it was true or false did not matter.

In the end, they were words Dai Mubai liked to hear.

"Master looked for me? Master still talks about me often?"

Bai He nodded.

"Yes, Fifth Senior Brother. Even though you left, you still have a place in everyone’s heart. Even during every Elder Assembly, your seat is still reserved."

Xu Feng looked at Bai He in disbelief.

He could actually say such lies so easily.

As for other things, Xu Feng did not know, but at Elder Assemblies, where would there suddenly be an extra seat?

Bai He silently thought to himself.

When they go back, just add an extra chair.

What is the problem with that?

Although Dai Mubai might now hold resentment toward the Lingguang Sect in his heart, in truth, he had always been different in how he felt toward both the Lingguang Sect and the Master.

Otherwise, after capturing them, he would not have only brought them here.

In fact, Bai He thought that he probably had not reported this matter to Ning Husang either.

Right now, Dai Mubai should already be the Deputy Pagoda Master of Spirit Pagoda.

"Is what you said true?"

"Of course it is true. Why would I lie to you?"

Dai Mubai waved his hand and Bai He immediately felt the rope around his wrists loosen.

He wiped his tears and quickly stood up.

His wrists were indeed red and slightly scraped.

"Fifth Senior Brother, when are you going back to the Lingguang Sect with me? Senior brothers and sisters all hope that you will return."

"Stop saying such things here. Do not really treat me like a fool who cannot tell that you are deceiving me."

Bai He’s words were half true and half false, making it difficult for ordinary people to distinguish whether he was lying or not.

In truth, Dai Mubai did not really blame Bai He.

When Yi Xing accepted disciples back then, he said he would only take five disciples.

Dai Mubai was the last one.

Until Bai He appeared.

It felt as if Dai Mubai had been abandoned.

Bai He actually knew there was a reason behind it.

Things were not really like that, but he could not say it.

"What are you doing here?"

"I came to find someone!"

"Who?"

Bai He said, "Ye Shiyuan. You must know him, right?"

Anyone in Spirit Pagoda would know Ye Shiyuan.

"What do you want with him?"

"He is my disciple. I have something to talk to him about. Fifth Senior Brother, can you let me go see him?"

Dai Mubai turned his back.

"No. You stay in this room. Do not go anywhere."

After saying that, Dai Mubai closed the door and left.

Bai He pouted.

What a waste of tears.

"Master, quickly undo this for me."

Bai He released the immobilization spell on Xu Feng.

"You actually dared to fight him?"

"I did not know he was that strong."

Among Yi Xing’s disciples, who was not strong?

Moreover, Bai He himself was not that strong only because he was still too young.

"Master, your acting just now, especially your crying, really opened my eyes."

Bai He was speechless.

If he had not cried so miserably, Dai Mubai would not have let him go so easily.

His temperament was very strange, he have soft temperament rather than hard.

"Master, so he really is your Fifth Senior Brother?"

Bai He nodded.

"Yes, more or less. But he once did something wrong, and Master was very angry, so he expelled him from the sect. Later, his personality completely changed. No one knows where he went, and he simply disappeared without any news. When Master expelled him, he said he was never allowed to claim himself as an elder of the Lingguang Sect again, and also not allowed to say he was a disciple of Yi Xing. But all of Master’s disciples are strong. Now he has already become the Deputy Pagoda Master of Spirit Pagoda."

At this point, Xu Feng stared at Bai He very seriously and said, "Master, I think there is something that needs correcting."

"What needs correcting?"

"The disciples of Senior Yi Xing are indeed all very strong, but that does not include you."
