Chapter 303: The Bathhouse Investigation

After speaking, Xu Feng ran off.

Bai He only realized something was wrong after a moment.

Xu Feng ran away, so would that not leave only himself and Ye Shiyuan alone together?

That bastard Xu Feng, he was doing it on purpose.

He had been set up.

Bai He arm was grabbed by Ye Shiyuan, and he walked extremely fast, forcing him to follow along in confusion.

"Shiyuan, walk slower. If you have something to say, we can talk slowly."

Ye Shiyuan pushed open the door of his room, pulled Bai He inside, and then shut the door hard.

Bai He suddenly felt nervous with nowhere to put it.

"Shiyuan, I was just disciplining Xu Feng earlier."

"Disciple following the example of the Master. What is wrong with that?"

"It is not me..." Bai He subconsciously tried to defend himself, "It was Xu Feng who brought me there."

What did Shiyuan mean?

Did he think he was the one who led Xu Feng there?

"Master finally admits it?"

"You are trying to trick me?"

"Junior brother has been too disobedient lately. It is indeed necessary to properly discipline him."

Bai He nodded and followed Ye Shiyuan’s words,

"Yes, I also think Xu Feng really needs to be properly disciplined."

"But Master, what about you?"

Why did the topic come back to him again?

"I am innocent. I did not know Xu Feng was going to that place. After I found out, I left immediately. Shiyuan, I promise I did not see anything."

He raised her hand to swear.

Ye Shiyuan immediately pulled him into his arms.

"Master."

He fell silent.

Bai He pressed her lips together, "Shiyuan, it really was not me."

"I believe you."

"Then why..."

"Master, I realize that even though I believe you, I am still angry."

Bai He felt a wave of warmth in his heart.

"People of the Ghost Clan have special markings, so Xu Feng brought me there. But after thinking about it, this matter does not require me to act personally. It is enough to leave it to Xu Feng."

Xu Feng and those people were already somewhat familiar anyway.

At night, he could just go with the disciples of Liehuo Valley to bathe together.

Although Bai He had originally even considered letting Ye Shiyuan and Xu Feng go together.

But after recalling his dark expression earlier, he lost the courage to say it.

"Just let him go alone."

Bai He followed Ye Shiyuan’s words and even seemed to carry a hint of revenge.

Hearing this slightly targeted tone, Bai He could not help but laugh softly.

"Shiyuan, so you can be this childish too."

The expression on Ye Shiyuan’s face sank slightly and he did not let Bai He see it.

His fingers tightened a little around him as he held him, but he said nothing.

Inside the Heartbound Platform, he had a dream.

Ye Shiyuan remembered it very clearly, a single dream.

Although it was only a dream, he still felt an unprecedented fear from it.

He feared that everything happening right now might all be fake.

Perhaps everyone thought he was a very strong person, but only he himself knew that once he lost his weakness, he would become vulnerable in an instant.

...

Bai He wandered nearby, but he not going in.

He did not know how things were going with Ye Shiyuan and Xu Feng’s investigation.

Originally, the plan was to have Xu Feng go with them, but he never expected that Ye Shiyuan would actually agree to go with Xu Feng.

In the dark night, Bai He hid at the side, watching the flow of people coming and going.

"Host, the markings on Ghost Clan members’ bodies may be imprinted in various places, such as behind the ears or the back of the neck. These areas are very hard to notice."

If it were on the face or hands, it might still be discovered normally.

But if it could be hidden under clothing, it would be much harder.

Gui Baozhou is Gui Baorong’s younger brother, and also the younger brother of the current Ghost Clan leader.

To escape from the Ghost Clan and come all the way here, no matter how one looked at it, he was not an ordinary person.

About half an hour later, Ye Shiyuan and Xu Feng finally came out.

When they passed by the small path where Bai He was hiding, he finally stepped out.

"Oh my, you scared me. Master, what are you doing here?"

Xu Feng patted his chest.

Completely pretending.

"How is it?" Bai He asked.

"Master, let’s go back and talk."

The two quickly left and returned to Bai He’s room.

Only after Ye Shiyuan confirmed there was no one outside did he close the door.

"Did you find anything?"

Xu Feng frowned deeply, looking as if he was thinking hard.

"We found something, but it also feels like we didn’t fully find anything..."

"What do you mean?"

"I and my senior brother did indeed feel it. I can sense the aura of a Ghost Clan member inside, but on their bodies there are no so-called ghost clan identifying marks. Also there are too many people, I really cannot distinguish who it is."

Bai He had already done his best and truly had no other solution.

Bai He did not intend to blame him either.

"As long as we can confirm that they are here, that is enough."

"Master, there is one thing that Junior Brother may not know. I heard from the disciples of Liehuo Valley that there is a very special disciple in Liehuo Valley. He lives in a place different from the other disciples, and he also never comes here to bathe together with everyone."

When he heard this sentence, Junior Brother immediately started to refute.

"Senior Brother, that is impossible. If it really is that person, how could I sense the aura of a ghost clan member?"

Bai He rubbed his chin.

He originally thought things would become clearer, but now they had become even more complicated.

He needed to carefully think about what exactly was going on.
