Chapter 244: Protected by His Senior Brother and Sister

"Shiyuan, I really have to go now. After everything that happened this time, Ning Huasang definitely won’t let this matter go so easily. You need to be careful."

Bai He could not help repeatedly reminding him.

Although his visit had helped Ye Shiyuan to some extent, it also seemed as though he had brought quite a bit of trouble along with him.

"Master, don’t worry. He can’t do anything to me. Besides, don’t I still have Fifth Martial Uncle?"

"Mm. If you ever run into danger, go find Fifth Senior Brother. Even though he looks fierce, as long as you bring up my Master, he’ll always obediently listen."

A look of understanding appeared on Ye Shiyuan’s face.

"So Master also used Grandmaster’s name?"

Bai He laughed awkwardly.

He had not exactly had another choice.

Otherwise, why would he have brought up his Master at all?

No matter how unwilling Bai He was, he still had to obediently leave together with Yao Xiangli.

Throughout the journey, Bai He did not dare say a single word.

As soon as Xu Feng returned to the Lingguang Sect, he immediately ran off.

Bai He cursed him inwardly for being so disloyal.

But after thinking about it again, even if Xu Feng had stayed, he would not have been able to help with anything.

At most, he would have ended up being punished alongside Bai He.

When they arrived at Yaoxing Peak, Bai He followed Yao Xiangli into the main hall.

He obediently stood below the dais.

His head remained lowered, and he did not move at all.

There were some things Yao Xiangli had not said outside.

But now that they had returned to the Lingguang Sect...

"Hmph."

That cold snort startled Bai He so badly that his whole body jerked.

"Bai He!"

"Senior Brother, I know I was wrong."

"Other than knowing you were wrong, what else do you know? You clearly knew that it was something you should not do, so why did you do it anyway? Bai He, do you really think the outside world is also a place where you can do whatever you please?"

Bai He pressed his lips together.

His voice sounded somewhat subdued.

"Senior Brother, I never thought that."

"I think that’s exactly what you thought. Fortunately, Dai Mubai was there. Otherwise, how were you planning to clean up this mess?"

"Senior Brother, I..."

Before Bai He could finish speaking, a disciple hurried in from outside.

"Sect Master, the Second Elder, Third Elder, and Fourth Elder are requesting an audience."

A surge of joy immediately rose in Bai He’s heart.

Their arrival could not have been timed more perfectly.

Then again, wasn’t it a little too perfect?

After thinking about it carefully, Bai He suddenly had a suspicion.

Could it have been Xu Feng?

Just moments ago, he had been complaining that Xu Feng lacked loyalty.

Now it seemed he had wrongly accused him.

Very soon, the three elders entered the hall.

Bai He suppressed the happiness in his heart and continued acting like someone who had committed a grave mistake.

His head remained lowered the entire time.

"Sect Master, what exactly did our Junior Brother do to make him look so frightened?"

Dan Zhu was the first one to speak.

During the journey over, he had already managed to guess part of what had happened.

"Let him explain it himself."

Yao Xiangli flicked his sleeve and looked thoroughly irritated.

Bai He moved his lips and honestly recounted everything from beginning to end.

He did not dare hide a single detail.

After all, other than sneaking into the Spirit Pagoda without permission, it seemed that he had not really done anything wrong.

What was there to be afraid of?

He was not afraid at all.

"Host, if your hands would stop shaking, I might actually believe what you just said."

"That’s absolutely outrageous."

Gu He’s voice rang out loudly, startling Bai He.

She seemed even angrier than Yao Xiangli.

Now Bai He felt even more uneasy.

At first, he had thought they had come to help him.

But now...

Could it be that they had actually come to join Yao Xiangli in dealing with him?

"It really is outrageous."

Immediately afterward, Zhou Yifei voiced her agreement as well.

Bai He nervously swallowed his saliva.

"Senior Brother, Senior Sister, I..."

"That daughter of Ning Huasang’s is absolutely outrageous. Even if Junior Brother was wrong for entering the Spirit Pagoda without permission, that girl actually tried to take his life. Dying a hundred times wouldn’t be enough punishment for her. Senior Brother, how could you let her off so easily?"

Zhou Yifei spoke angrily.

Then Gu He added, "And Dai Mubai is no better. Back then, after Master drove him out, he blamed everything on Junior Brother. Does he really think Junior Brother said something behind his back that got him expelled? They spent months together. He should know better than that."

She still remembered that period clearly.

At the time, Dai Mubai and Bai He had been extremely close.

In fact, they had seemed even closer than Bai He was with the rest of them.

"Don’t let me see Dai Mubai. If I do, I’m definitely going to beat him up."

Zhou Yifei snorted coldly, venting the dissatisfaction in her heart.

Bai He stood there in a daze.

Things did not seem nearly as terrible as he had imagined.

"Third Senior Sister..."

"Junior Brother, you’re really too useless. How did you manage to get beaten by a little girl like that?"

Zhou Yifei immediately began criticizing him again.

According to her, if Bai He had trained properly on a daily basis, he never would have let some little girl gain the upper hand against him.

However...

Bai He muttered under his breath, "Third Senior Sister, I’m actually a little younger than Ning Rongrong."

"How can people outside compare to disciples of the Lingguang Sect? Not to mention that you’re Master’s disciple."

So just because he was Yi Xing’s disciple, he was supposed to be able to defeat anyone?
