Chapter 240: Ye Shiyuan’s Fury

Out of the corner of his eye, he thought he had seen Bai He spit out blood earlier.

However, at that time, he had been unable to stop what he was doing.

Later, he had seen Bai He standing there perfectly fine, continuing to cast his techniques, which had eased his worries somewhat.

Even so, he had still rushed over at the fastest speed possible.

"It’s only a minor injury. I’ll be fine by tomorrow."

Bai He was extremely confident in this body’s ability to recover.

"As long as you’re alright."

Ye Shiyuan had not clearly seen who had injured Bai He earlier, so he asked, "How did Master get hurt?"

Bai He instinctively glanced toward Ning Rongrong.

Ye Shiyuan’s brows immediately knitted together. He pressed his lips into a thin line and asked, "Was it her?"

Bai He nodded honestly.

"Mm. But maybe I was in the wrong too. I was in a bad mood at the time and slapped her."

"Young Master Bai, it’s true that you slapped her, but she was the one who made the entire process of slaying the demon dragon far more difficult. That slap was hardly unfair."

Someone could not help but speak up in Bai He’s defense.

"Besides, Miss Ning wasn’t simply trying to vent her anger. She clearly wanted to kill you."

Anyone with eyes could see it.

Ning Rongrong’s first palm strike had already been powerful.

As for the second strike, she had used her full strength.

She had genuinely intended to take Bai He’s life.

"You wanted my Master’s life?"

Ye Shiyuan repeated the words indifferently.

Yet those simple words sent a chill down Ning Rongrong’s spine.

"He was the one who hit me first."

"And so you wanted his life?"

Ning Rongrong suddenly felt a powerful light shining down upon her.

The others instinctively looked up.

A sword was suspended directly above her head.

It was Ye Shiyuan’s sword.

Everyone present recognized it immediately.

Ning Rongrong was so frightened that her lips trembled.

The entire person seemed completely at a loss.

"Shiyuan, are you going to kill me? You can’t kill me. You can’t..."

Ye Shiyuan did not say a single word.

With a slight movement of his fingers, the sword suspended above suddenly dropped downward.

It shot straight toward Ning Rongrong’s head.

The blade was aiming directly for her skull.

Even Bai He was caught off guard by this scene.

He grabbed Ye Shiyuan’s sleeve, wanting to stop him, but it was already too late.

Ning Rongrong was so terrified that she shut her eyes tightly.

However, the sword never actually fell.

Dai Mubai appeared behind Ning Rongrong and forcefully caught the Dawnmaker Divine Sword with his own hand.

"Ye Shiyuan, give me some face. I’ll take her back with me."

"Fifth Martial Uncle, at a time like this, you shouldn’t be helping her. She deserves to die. She brought this upon herself."

Ye Shiyuan’s eyes were filled with icy coldness.

He did not feel there was anything wrong with what he was doing.

Even if it meant offending Ning Huasang within the Spirit Pagoda, it did not matter to him in the slightest.

Bai He, however, let out a sigh of relief.

He had genuinely been afraid that Ye Shiyuan would simply kill Ning Rongrong on the spot.

He had only wanted to teach her a lesson.

But Ye Shiyuan had clearly intended to treat Ning Rongrong the same way he had treated the demon dragon and cut her head off directly.

And he had planned to do it right in front of him.

Bai He covered his own eyes.

He would end up with psychological trauma too, alright?

"I still need to take her back. Ning Huasang will discipline her properly. We’re leaving now."

Since Dai Mubai was the one taking her away, Bai He immediately grabbed Ye Shiyuan and prevented him from going after her.

There was no need for that.

Dai Mubai had clearly made up his mind.

He was not going to allow Ye Shiyuan to kill Ning Rongrong.

"Shiyuan, forget it. Just let it go."

"Master, you shouldn’t have stopped me."

Bai He immediately released Ye Shiyuan’s sleeve.

"Wasn’t I just a little nervous? You were about to kill someone right in front of me."

Only then did Ye Shiyuan come back to his senses.

He realized that he really should not have tried to kill someone in front of Bai He.

What if he had frightened him?

"Master, let me help you rest for a while."

Ye Shiyuan supported Bai He and guided him to a large tree nearby.

He took out a blanket and spread it out for him to sit on.

Meanwhile, Xu Feng was busy dealing with the aftermath and was already complaining impatiently.

"Master, Senior Brother, the two of you are really too much. Am I just free labor to you?"

"Shiyuan, go help him. Otherwise, once we get back, he’ll spend days complaining to me again."

Ye Shiyuan crouched down in front of Bai He.

"Master, when are you leaving?"

"Not for the time being. I still need to meet Ning Huasang."

Only then did Ye Shiyuan relax.

"Alright. I’ll go help Junior Brother."

After Ye Shiyuan left, Mo Zhu flew over and landed in front of Bai He.

"Host, the protagonist is afraid you’ll leave immediately. That’s why he wants to spend a little more time with you."

"Not to that extent, right?"

Bai He looked at Ye Shiyuan’s departing figure, feeling somewhat puzzled.

Was that really the reason?

"What do you mean, not to that extent? That’s exactly the reason. But Host, you said you’re going to meet Ning Huasang. Are you sure you’re prepared to face him?"

The circumstances surrounding Bai He’s previous meeting with Ning Huasang were very different from this one.

"Of course. Besides, Dai Mubai is here too."

With Dai Mubai present, he probably would not just stand by and watch Ning Huasang bully him.

More importantly, did Ning Huasang even have the courage to bully him?
