"Where to?"
Focusing on Bai Yulin's sensitive nose, Ye Huan wondered to himself that if it weren't for Yuxiang'er causing so many misunderstandings, he would probably still be honestly staying in Yuxu Palace. However, now that he had already run out of Yuxu Palace, it seemed he could only grit his teeth and say to Bai Yulin, "I don't have any good plans either, but I won't let those two—Beitang Mo from the Heavenly Dragon Sect and Yanyue from Yuxu Palace—get away with it!"
"Yanyue?"
Bai Yulin frowned slightly, still unaware of the conflict between Ye Huan and Yanyue. As for Beitang Mo, from the moment Ye Huan encountered him, Bai Yulin had always felt that he was not a good person. After hesitating for a moment, he slowly spoke to Ye Huan, "Ye Huan, that old man Beitang Mo is indeed no good. If you need my help with anything, just say it. Don't be polite with me."
"When have I ever been polite with you?"
Rolling his eyes at Bai Yulin, Ye Huan had never considered Bai Yulin an outsider. This made Bai Yulin feel both touched and exasperated. He was touched because after spending some time together, Ye Huan had proven through his words and actions that he regarded Bai Yulin as a partner in battle. As for the exasperation, it was all due to Ye Huan's way of speaking and doing things, which always left one wondering whether his head was filled with glue or some bizarre ideas.
After a moment of silence, unable to endure the atmosphere any longer, Bai Yulin was about to speak when he suddenly realized that his patience, developed over years of living alone, was actually not as formidable as that of Ye Huan, a young man who had only lived for about twenty years. This made Bai Yulin elevate Ye Huan's status in his mind even more. He plopped down beside Ye Huan and smiled, "Young Master, what are you thinking about?"
'Young Master?'
Surprised, Ye Huan looked up. He could remain unfazed when referred to as Young Master by the disciples of Dragon Hall, but when he heard Bai Yulin—a Tenth-Level Beast—call him Young Master, he truly doubted whether Bai Yulin had a fever that had fried his brain. Otherwise, how could Bai Yulin blurt out such a phrase while he was contemplating how to track down Beitang Mo?
On the other hand, Bai Yulin was fortunate not to know what Ye Huan was really thinking; otherwise, if he realized that Ye Huan's earlier silence was spent pondering how to take revenge on Beitang Mo, he might just run headfirst into a wall in this cave.
After about ten more seconds of silence, Ye Huan finally snapped out of the shock brought on by the term "Young Master." He hurriedly responded to Bai Yulin and said randomly, "It's nothing; I was just thinking about where I should go to look for Beitang Mo's whereabouts. Should I just wait here for him to show up?"
“Waiting by the Tree for a Rabbit? That doesn’t seem like a bad idea…”
Upon hearing what Ye Huan said, Bai Yulin seemed to have thought of something. After pondering for a moment, he continued, “Young Master, how about this: you stay here for a few days. If nothing happens in the villages around Yuxu Palace, I might have to return to Yuxu Palace. By then, if I hear any news about Beitang Mo, it wouldn’t be too late to inform you to take action.”
“Alright, let’s do it your way.”
Without hesitation, Ye Huan nodded in agreement with Bai Yulin’s suggestion. He was extremely satisfied with this plan because dealing with the Celestial Dragon Sect Disciple alone was manageable, but tracking their movements was indeed quite challenging. It would be better for Bai Yulin to provide him with information. In terms of the world Ye Huan came from, he could even give Bai Yulin a nice title: ‘Informant!’
After further discussion to finalize the general time and place for their rendezvous, Bai Yulin left the cave that was hard for ‘ordinary people’ to discover. Little did he know that just as Bai Yulin had left, another person arrived shortly after. The unmistakable sound of footsteps, even from a distance, was clear enough for Ye Huan to hear.
‘No way? Is my hiding spot that obvious?’
As doubts began to surface in his mind, Ye Huan had initially been quite pleased with his temporary residence. However, with two people finding him in quick succession, he couldn’t help but question his judgment. Fortunately, when he saw who was approaching, his doubts quickly vanished. As the footsteps stopped, a woman appeared before him.
“Black Shadow Flower!” “Ye Huan!”
The two voices rang out simultaneously. Ye Huan gained a new appreciation for the keen noses of Bai Yulin and the other Tenth-Level Beasts. However, what intrigued him more was why Yuxu Palace had sent a woman; could something unexpected have happened?
Noticing the look of confusion on Ye Huan’s face, Black Shadow Flower didn’t seem surprised to encounter him there. She immediately explained, “You don’t need to look so puzzled; I just came out secretly from Yuxu Palace because I was worried about Bai Yulin.”
“Oh…”
Ye Huan intentionally elongated his tone, wanting to make a joke with Black Shadow Flower. However, before he could say anything, the image of Zhao Ziyu suddenly popped into his mind. After all, she had been missing for several days. It was impossible for him not to worry. But given the tense situation between Yuxu Palace and the Heavenly Dragon Sect, where could he possibly go to search for Zhao Ziyu?
Ye Huan was completely oblivious to the fact that his thoughts had drifted to Zhao Ziyu. Standing opposite Ye Huan, Black Shadow Flower stomped her foot in frustration upon hearing Ye Huan's strange tone. Blushing, she turned and left, following the direction Bai Yulin had taken, leaving Ye Huan alone once again.
Meanwhile, far in the northernmost part of Eastern State, above Water Moon Palace, a large group of Cultivators relentlessly pursued a bloodied woman with colorful ribbons trailing from her feet. If Ye Huan were present, he would easily recognize that this woman was none other than Zhao Ziyu, the very person he was worried about. Below Zhao Ziyu and the pursuing group, Gu Long had mysteriously appeared in this extreme northern region, holding a large blade exuding the aura of a Azure Dragon against the neck of Water Moon Palace's master, Xue Wushuang. He coldly watched Zhao Ziyu flee through the air.
"Gu Long, as the leader of the Righteous Path, how dare you slaughter indiscriminately in Water Moon Palace? Are you not afraid of divine retribution and retaliation from Water Moon Palace?"
Xue Wushuang glared at Gu Long, clearly suffering from severe internal injuries. As she spoke, blood occasionally trickled from the corner of her mouth. Yet this did not hinder her hatred for Gu Long. Just today, he had descended from the heavens and nearly wiped out her disciples at Water Moon Palace. The only one who managed to escape was Zhao Ziyu, who was now trapped in mid-air by Gu Long's men.
