Chapter 146: The Woman Who Holds the Nuwa Stone

Bai He rolled up his sleeves.

At this rate, it seemed he would have to jump down and retrieve it himself.

"Manor Master."

Suddenly, a woman’s voice rang out.

It’s soft and seductive, nothing like the voice of a refined lady from a noble family.

Bai He turned to look, and sure enough, he saw a beautifully dressed woman adorned like a blooming flower walking toward them.

Could this be Wanyan Aguda’s wife?

Wait... how did she maintain herself so well?

She looked incredibly young, even younger than Wanyan Xiyin.

Were those two really mother and son?

"Your mother looks very young," Bai He said to Wanyan Xiyin, who stood not far away.

Wanyan Xiyin sneered. "She’s not my mother."

Not?

Then a stepmother?

That was the only explanation Bai He could come up with.

Wanyan Aguda clearly doted on this wife of his, his face full of smiles and affection when he saw her.

Sure enough, even though she had lost the Nuwa Stone, he didn’t seem angry at all.

Bai He couldn’t understand why Wanyan Aguda would like someone like her.

In Bai He’s view, when one person falls for another, it is surely because the other possesses certain qualities that attract them.

An outstanding person would naturally fall for another outstanding person, they wouldn’t fall for someone useless.

Wanyan Aguda had been the master of Jurchen Manor for many years.

There was no way he was incompetent.

In the cultivation world, he could be considered a figure of some standing.

And yet, such a person had fallen for a woman who only had looks and nothing els.

It was truly puzzling.

Bai He noticed that although Wanyan Xiyin liked beautiful people, he was staring fixedly at that woman with a face full of anger.

If Wanyan Aguda hadn’t been present, Bai He even suspected that Wanyan Xiyin might have rushed forward and struck her.

"Manor Master, what are you all doing? I’m so bored. Didn’t you promise to take me out for a stroll?"

For some reason, Wanyan Aguda seemed completely bewitched.

He ignored Bai He who was holding the Tree’s Coreflame and readily agreed, allowing himself to be led away by the woman.

Before leaving, he only gave a brief instruction: "Xiyin, take care of the guests."

Watching Wanyan Aguda leave with his own eyes, the two elders sighed deeply and also departed.

Now, the only one left in Jurchen Manor was the rather irritating Wanyan Xiyin.

"Hey, what’s wrong with your father?" Bai He asked.

"The Nuwa Stone was never lost. That woman is lying, but my father believes her."

He stared in that direction as if muttering to himself.

"Explain clearly, so the Nuwa Stone really isn’t lost? It’s actually in that woman’s hands?"

This was extremely important information.

If it wasn’t with that woman, Bai He would have to go down into the well himself.

He had no desire to jump into that pitch-black hole, who knew what terrifying things might be inside?

Wanyan Xiyin turned around and suddenly curled his lips into a smile. "Little beauty, how about let me give you a kiss, and I’ll tell you?"

Bai He’s heart skipped a beat.

Before he could even react, Wanyan Xiyin was punched by Ye Shiyuan.

You can eat carelessly, but you can’t speak carelessly.

To say something like that in front of Ye Shiyuan, wasn’t that just asking to be hit?

Wanyan Xiyin immediately clutched his nose. "You... aren’t you his disciple? Why are you acting like his man?"

Ye Shiyuan’s face turned cold as he said, "No one is allowed to insult my Master."

"I—I’m the young master of Jurchen Manor. Is letting me kiss him really an insult?"

Ye Shiyuan replied seriously, "Yes."

Wanyan Xiyin struggled to his feet. Though he was angry, there was little he could do. "You three, come with me. I’ll take you to find a place to stay first. As for the Nuwa Stone you want, it’s really in that woman’s hands. I saw it with my own eyes. But I advise you not to act recklessly. My father dotes on that woman completely. Let alone you, even I, his own son, have no say."

As if recalling something, Wanyan Xiyin’s expression suddenly filled with intense anger. "Even my mother was angered to death by that woman."

Favoring the concubine and destroying the wife?

Bai He hadn’t expected to witness such a thing in real life.

What a shocking news.

Since that was the case, this matter couldn’t be rushed.

They could only stay for now and take things one step at a time.

Originally, Bai He had been walking side by side with Wanyan Xiyin, but Ye Shiyuan immediately pulled Bai He’s hand and moved him to the other side.

It was obvious that he was still displeased.

He clearly didn’t like Bai He being so close to that man.

If it weren’t necessary, Ye Shiyuan would have already taken Bai He and left this place immediately.

Bai He tugged at the corner of his mouth, somewhat speechless.

Ye Shiyuan... Ye Shiyuan...

Was he really planning to place all his feelings on him?

Did he truly like him that much?

Sometimes, his jealousy was just too obvious.

Even though Bai He tried to deliberately avoid thinking about it, there was simply no way to ignore it anymore.

"Little beauty, I think your disciple treats you quite differently. Look at your other disciple, he doesn’t act like this toward me. Are you sure your disciple hasn’t developed improper thoughts about you?"

Bai He was at a loss for words.

Couldn’t this kind of thing just stay unspoken?

Why say it out loud?

Wasn’t it embarrassing?

Bai He gave a light cough and pretended to be fierce. "What nonsense are you spouting? If you dare to keep talking like that, I’ll have him beat you again. Let’s see if you still dare to talk nonsense."

"Hmph, fine, I won’t say anything."

Although Wanyan Xiyin quite liked Bai He, after being taught a lesson by Ye Shiyuan, even if he still liked him, he decided to drop it.
