Chapter 241: The Summons of the Spirit Pagoda

The demon dragon’s Dragon Core had been sealed inside a bottle.

The surrounding demonic aura and resentment had also been completely dispersed.

At this point, the Dragon Hunt had essentially come to an end.

Early the next morning.

The group returned in grand procession.

Ye Shiyuan carried the bottle containing the Dragon Core in one hand while holding Bai He’s hand with the other.

Quite a few people had died.

At the same time, many others had been fortunate enough to merely wander through the area without suffering any injuries.

When they returned to the Spirit Pagoda, Bai He immediately spotted Ning Huasang standing ahead.

Ning Rongrong was there as well, having already changed back into women’s clothing.

Even Dai Mubai had changed the style of the white cat mask he wore on his face.

The only thing that remained unchanged was that it was still a white cat mask.

As the crowd gradually dispersed, Ning Huasang sent someone to invite Ye Shiyuan, Bai He, and Xu Feng to accompany him to the upper levels of the Spirit Pagoda.

Zhang Ping and the others did not say anything about it.

Although they had worked together to kill the demon dragon, and Ye Shiyuan’s group had also saved their lives, compared to that, any so called reward no longer seemed particularly important.

They arrived on the third floor.

Ning Huasang’s gaze settled coldly upon Bai He.

"The reach of your Lingguang Sect’s hand is truly long."

The purpose of Bai He’s visit here had always been to help Ye Shiyuan.

He had never come here for anyone else.

Ning Rongrong had probably said something to Ning Huasang beforehand.

The way he was looking at Bai He now was clearly not right.

Bai He pressed his lips together and chose not to respond.

Pretending not to hear anything was probably the best option.

Perhaps because she had recalled the scene from the previous night, when Ye Shiyuan had tried to kill her, Ning Rongrong’s gaze toward him now contained a trace of fear.

"Instead of blaming others, Pagoda Master Ning, perhaps you should spend some time teaching your daughter properly. So many people died because of her reckless actions. Yet she is still standing safely beside you without a scratch. Don’t you find that the strangest thing of all?"

Ye Shiyuan pulled Bai He behind him.

His tone was solemn and cold.

"How I choose to discipline my daughter is none of your concern."

"It’s true that it isn’t my concern. But if Fifth Martial Uncle hadn’t intervened this time, your daughter would already have died beneath my sword."

"You dare?"

Ning Huasang had already heard the previous night that Ye Shiyuan had pointed his sword at his daughter.

Even when Dai Mubai had brought Ning Rongrong back, he had warned Ning Huasang that he should properly discipline his daughter.

"Guards!"

Ning Huasang suddenly shouted in anger.

Immediately, two people entered from outside.

"Take these two people who entered the Spirit Pagoda without permission and throw them into the dungeon."

Bai He froze for a moment.

He had not even processed what was happening.

How had things suddenly turned out like this?

"Ning Huasang.

"

Dai Mubai’s voice still carried a warning.

"Do you know what you’re doing?"

"Of course I know exactly what I’m doing. The fact that he trespassed into the Spirit Pagoda is a matter of fact. Even if he comes from the Lingguang Sect, today I will make him understand that the Spirit Pagoda is not the Lingguang Sect. It is not a place where he can behave however he pleases. Arrest him."

Ning Huasang repeated the order without hesitation.

There was even a trace of satisfaction in his eyes.

Just then, someone hurried in from outside.

After taking in the scene inside the room, the man quickly ran over to Ning Huasang and whispered something into his ear.

Ning Huasang’s expression immediately changed.

His face became visibly unnatural.

He glanced toward Dai Mubai beside him and narrowed his eyes.

"You did this?"

Dai Mubai shrugged and wore an innocent expression.

"The way you’re saying that, how could it possibly have been me?"

"Hmph."

Ning Huasang snorted coldly and strode out of the room.

The two people who had originally been summoned to take Bai He and Xu Feng away looked at Bai He in confusion.

For a moment, neither of them knew what they were supposed to do.

"This matter no longer concerns you. Leave."

"Yes, Vice Pagoda Master."

With Dai Mubai’s order, they obediently withdrew.

Even if Ning Huasang later chose to blame someone, it would have nothing to do with them anymore.

"Fifth Senior Brother, what exactly happened? What did you do?"

Bai He asked curiously.

He did not believe for a second that what Dai Mubai had just said was true.

There was no way that matter had nothing to do with him.

Dai Mubai glanced at him.

"You cause trouble yourself, and then expect other people to clean up the mess for you?"

Bai He thought about it for a moment.

Then realization suddenly struck him.

"You didn’t actually call Senior Brother over here, did you?"

Bai He pressed his lips together.

To be honest, he looked somewhat frightened.

"You might as well have let Ning Huasang throw me into prison. Why go through all this extra trouble?"

Yao Xiangli was far more terrifying than Ning Huasang.

"Be more careful in the future. Stop causing trouble all the time. And keep an eye on Ye Shiyuan as well. Yesterday, right in front of me, he actually tried to kill Ning Rongrong. Do you have any idea what the consequences would have been?"

Bai He did not say anything.

Of course he would have stopped Ye Shiyuan.

There was no way he would have simply stood by and watched Ye Shiyuan kill Ning Rongrong.

The only problem was that he had not reacted quickly enough at the time.

Dai Mubai raised the fan in his hand and lightly tapped Bai He on the head.
