Chapter 225: Confession to the Fifth Senior Brother

Bai He raised his hand as if to hit him.

This brat really was the type who would climb onto the roof if left unscolded for three days.

Maybe he really should stop caring about saving him.

"Shut your mouth, or I will find a way to have Dai Mubai throw you into a real dungeon."

"But in our current situation, it is not much different from being in a dungeon anyway."

If there was any difference, it was that this place was clearly much better than a dungeon.

Bai He opened the window, intending to jump out.

But outside, there were clearly guards stationed.

If he left recklessly, the chance of not being discovered was very low.

However, Xu Feng suddenly looked excited.

"Master, why don’t I leave first?"

"You have a way to get out?"

"Mm."

Xu Feng, in order to prove he was not lying, actually disappeared right in front of Bai He, even leaving a sentence behind.

He said he could only leave alone and could not take Bai He with him, but he would come back soon to find him.

Bai He sighed softly and glanced at the guards outside.

Were they blind?

How could they just let someone escape like that?

When Dai Mubai returned, he only saw Bai He alone in the room, and he did not seem surprised at all.

"It seems that over these years, you have not improved at all. Even your disciple is stronger than you."

Bai He had nothing to say in response.

Dai Mubai brought medicine over and very rudely threw it onto the table.

"Apply it yourself."

"Okay."

"Are you really going to be bullied if you go out looking like this?"

Bai He could not refute that either.

He could only sit at the table and carefully apply the medicine to himself.

In this world, there was probably no one more miserable than him.

"Fifth Senior Brother, can I leave now?"

"No."

"Why?"

"Do you know what the punishment is for trespassing into Spirit Pagoda? From how familiar you look, I can tell this is not your first time. Moreover, there have been major events happening in Spirit Pagoda recently. You will stay here."

Even though his words sounded harsh, in reality, it was clearly to protect him.

Bai He pouted, feeling somewhat confused.

"But Ye Shiyuan..."

"I have seen him. If even he cannot handle it, do you think you can?"

"I..."

Bai He actually could not find a reason to refute it.

How could he encourage Ye Shiyuan when he was by his side?

Sometimes, the words he said were even more effective than spiritual medicine.

But if he said those words out loud, Dai Mubai would only look down on him.

Bai He did not want to see that kind of expression from him.

"Don’t tell me you are going to cry again."

"I..."

"And what, planning to complain after you go back?"

Bai He bit his lip and suddenly made up his mind.

"Fifth Senior Brother, I have something I need to tell you. Come closer. I will whisper it to you."

Dai Mubai did not move.

"There is no one else here. You can just say it directly. There is no need to come so close. From your eyes, I can already tell you are up to something."

Dai Mubai really was not easy to fool.

"Then Fifth Senior Brother, don’t you really want to know why Master gave up on someone as talented as you, but instead chose me, someone you think is a useless disciple?"

Dai Mubai had indeed found this strange, from the very beginning until now.

In truth, he did not dislike his Master for taking in new disciples.

But he could never understand why, in order to make space for such a little boy, he himself had been abandoned.

"You know the reason?"

"Of course I know."

"You had better not play any tricks. Otherwise, do not blame me for ignoring old feelings."

He spoke each word seriously.

Bai He did not dare to play any tricks.

"Fifth Senior Brother, you are so strong. How could I not know your strength? I promise, I will not mess around, and I have no hidden intentions."

Dai Mubai slowly walked closer to Bai He and lowered his head.

"Speak. What is the reason?"

Bai He leaned close to his ear and whispered a few sentences.

Dai Mubai looked at him in disbelief.

"If what you said is false, you know the consequences."

Bai He showed no guilt at all.

Although some of it could only be said much later in time, saying it now should not be a problem.

"Why would I lie to you?"

"Truly... unexpected."

"Ye Shiyuan is my disciple. I do not want anything to happen to him. I know that this time, they are going together to slay the evil dragon. Fifth Senior Brother, just let me go with them. I do not want to stay here."

"What is so bad about staying here?"

Dai Mubai let out a cold snort.

"Since Ye Shiyuan carries the future of the Lingguang Sect, if he cannot even handle this, then he is not qualified to inherit the sect in the future."

"Shiyuan is only twenty one years old."

Dai Mubai did not care at all about Ye Shiyuan’s age.

"No matter how old he is. Since he has come here, it means he has this ability. If what you said is true, then I absolutely cannot let you go either. Otherwise, if Master comes to question me, how would I explain myself?"

Bai He estimated that Dai Mubai had already believed what he said, which also meant that his life was not in immediate danger for now.

No matter how Dai Mubai had been expelled from the Lingguang Sect by Yi Xing, in his heart, his respect for Yi Xing had not diminished at all.

After all, Dai Mubai had been a disciple of Yi Xing for more than twenty years and without him, he would not have achieved what he had today.
