Bai He was all smiles when he looked up and saw the two flying back to Baize Peak on their swords.
He even imagined Ye Shiyuan's sour expression.
After all, in the original novel, Xu feng was someone who gave Ye Shiyuan quite a headache.
Ye Shiyuan had once evaluated Xu feng like this: In his entire life, he had never seen a man noisier than Xu feng, nor a woman, for that matter.
Upon arriving at Yaoxing Peak, the disciple withdrew.
Bai He saw his Senior Brother and Second Elder Dan Zhu.
The two were seated facing each other, with a chessboard placed between them.
It looked as though the game had already reached its final stage.
"Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, you're here as well."
"Junior Brother is here. Come, accompany your Second Senior Brother for a game. Your Senior Brother Yao really doesn't hold back at all, playing chess with him is truly no fun."
Yao Xiangli had summoned him over not for the sake of playing chess.
"Let's forget it, Second Senior Brother. You can't just turn around and bully me because you were bullied by Senior Brother," Bai He said.
"The little brat isn't falling for it, huh."
Yao Xiangli looked at the chessboard while speaking in a deliberately contemplative tone. "I heard that something happened today during the selection of new disciples."
"Yes, something did happen. But it was only a small matter, and I already handled it on behalf of Senior Brother," Bai He replied.
"Oh? Is that so? Then why did I hear that you even accepted gifts?"
Pan Yi had actually turned the tables and accused him instead.
Bai He immediately explained, "How could that be? Those were things the disciples asked me to keep for them. I stay at Baize Peak all day, what would I want with such worldly items?"
"That's right. Junior Brother has always had no interest in those glittering and eye catching treasures. Perhaps there's been a misunderstanding," Dan Zhu added.
"As expected of Second Senior Brother, you understand me best. Senior Brother is busy with countless affairs every day. It would be fine if you didn't usually pay attention to me, but now you're even doubting my character. If Senior Brother truly has doubts, you can personally test whether those disciples are qualified to enter the sect," Bai He said.
Those disciples had all passed Ye Shiyuan's assessment, so there should not be any problems.
"Since Junior Brother says so, then it should be fine. Besides, didn't Ye Shiyuan also go along? Assessing a few new disciples is more than manageable for him," Dan Zhu replied.
When Ye Shiyuan was mentioned, Dan Zhu also felt some regret.
If Ye Shiyuan could break through his bottleneck, his future would be immeasurable.
Unfortunately, five whole years had passed. No wonder Senior Brother had already lost patience with him.
"Oh, right, Senior Brothers, I took a liking to one disciple today and have already accepted him as my disciple," Bai He said.
