Chapter 393: Bai He’s New Disciple

Bai He lowered his head. For a moment, he had no idea where the thing Zhang Hao was talking about was located. "Where is it? Why do I feel nothing?"

"As long as you accept me as your disciple, I will tell you."

Bai He stared at Zhang Hao. "You are taking advantage of my situation."

"Master, this is called returning a favor. I have called you Master so many times already, so just accept me as your disciple."

Bai He hesitated inwardly. Ye Shiyuan held Bai He’s hand and said, "If He’er does not want to, then forget it. I will think of another way."

Bai He gritted his teeth and agreed. "Alright, I agree to take you as my disciple. But let me make this clear first. You are not allowed to do anything harmful or wicked. I am from a righteous and reputable sect, and it is impossible for me to accept an evil person as my disciple. Otherwise, if the day comes, do not blame me for cleaning up my own sect."

Zhang Hao’s heart was filled with boundless joy. No matter what, Bai He had agreed to accept him as his disciple, had he not? He then knelt down and performed a formal bow toward Bai He. "Disciple pays respects to Master."

"Ahem. From now on, you are my third disciple. Besides Ye Shiyuan, you also have another senior brother named Xu Feng. He is also in Heiyuan City, but I do not know where he is right now either. I come from the Lingguang Sect, and I am Bai He, the fifth elder of the Lingguang Sect."

Even in this place, the name Lingguang Sect was not unfamiliar to them.

"Master, you actually come from the Lingguang Sect, and you are even an elder of the Lingguang Sect."

"Yes. I do not really look like one, do I?"

Indeed, he really did not. But to Zhang Hao, Bai He only did not seem to match in terms of his appearance and age.

"From now on, you are my disciple, so naturally you are also a disciple of the Lingguang Sect. You must follow the rules of the Lingguang Sect. Do you understand?"

"Understood."

And just like that, Bai He had hastily accepted another disciple, so he also had to start dealing with his own affairs.

"So, can you tell me now?"

Zhang Hao said somewhat aggrievedly, "If it were not for this, you definitely still would not have been willing to accept me as your disciple."

"Is that not obvious? Do you think I can just casually accept disciples?"

Zhang Hao looked at Bai He with a deeply resentful expression, but he still told him. "Master, there is only one way to remove the Soul Eater from your body. That is to directly transfer this Soul Eater onto someone else."

What? What kind of method was that? Could that even be called a method?

Bai He really wanted to open Zhang Hao’s head and see exactly what kind of things were inside his brain.

Who would be willing to transfer this Soul Eater Demon into their own body? Who could possibly be that selfless?

"He’er, this is easy to solve. Just transfer the Soul Eater onto me, and that will be enough."

While Bai He was still thinking about it, Ye Shiyuan had already spoken. It seemed that he had said it without even thinking, without the slightest hesitation.

Bai He looked at Ye Shiyuan in shock and hurriedly shook his head. "No, no, that is not possible."

"Trust me."

"Shiyuan, this is my problem. How can I drag you into it? I already know what kind of thing he is, so I have a way to deal with him."

Right now, all Bai He wanted was to find somewhere with no one around and give Zhang Hao a good beating. What was the difference between what he had just done and deliberately deceiving him?

The more Bai He thought about it, the angrier he became.

Bai He directly raised his hand and grabbed Zhang Hao by the ear, twisting it.

"Master, what are you doing?"

"I forgot to tell you. If you become my disciple... you have to let me twist your ear, otherwise, I will expel you from the sect."

Zhang Hao looked at him with a deeply aggrieved expression. "Stop trying to fool me. You have never treated Senior Brother like this before."

"He has long since stopped being a disciple of the Lingguang Sect. Of course, you are different from him."

"You are taking revenge for personal reasons, Master. If you’re my lover, I would be willing to help you, but... right now, only Senior Brother and you have a way to resolve this."

The Soul Eater Demon required two people whose hearts were connected to tightly embrace each other. An ordinary person naturally would not do, and the other person also had to be completely willing.

...

Bai He and Ye Shiyuan were in the ninth room.

Ye Shiyuan had later gone to the eighth room as well, but there was no one there.

After the door was opened, they could not find even the slightest trace of anyone inside, which showed that Zhang Hao had not been lying.

Before Zhang Hao left, Ye Shiyuan had asked about the precautions, and naturally, Zhang Hao had told him everything.

Bai He stood up and said, "I am tired."

Ye Shiyuan immediately grabbed Bai He. "He’er, you cannot rest right now."

"I need to rest. Only then will he have a chance to appear, and only then can I defeat him. Zhang Hao already said that this is the only way to completely defeat the Soul Eater Demon."

Bai He had already prepared himself mentally and he was ready.

Ye Shiyuan’s gaze remained deeply fixed on Bai He. He then pulled Bai He into his arms and said, "He’er, why can’t you leave this to me?"

Bai He truly felt sorry for Ye Shiyuan. He had already endured far too much. Some matters were his own responsibility, and there was truly no need for Ye Shiyuan to bear them in his place. "Shiyuan, sometimes, I also need to grow."

"But..." But the Soul Eater Demon harbored ill intentions toward Bai He. If he could not help Bai He with this matter, then what would happen if something unexpected occurred?
