Chapter 248: Clothes in the Mortal City

Just as he was about to depart with great excitement, he sensed someone entering the Frostfall Dominion.

Over the past year and a half, Zhou Yifei had been the person who visited him most often.

She was probably worried about him.

Not because she was afraid he would sneak out to have fun.

"Bai He."

"Third Senior Sister, you’re here."

"I haven’t come by for three months, yet somehow you seem even thinner than before."

Bai He reached up and touched his cheek.

How could he not have lost weight?

This wretched place did not have a single thing to eat.

If not for the fact that cultivators in this world were able to survive without food, he would probably have become malnourished long ago.

He might even have wasted away entirely by now.

"Still, Bai He, you’ve become more and more handsome."

"Really?"

Bai He felt delighted inside.

After all, what kind of people did not want to look attractive?

There were no mirrors here, so he had no idea what he looked like now.

However, his clothes had undeniably become smaller than before.

It was especially obvious around the sleeves and arms.

Once he returned, he would probably have to replace all of his clothing.

Bai He pressed his lips together and spoke somewhat shyly.

"Third Senior Sister, has Shiyuan returned yet?"

"Not yet."

But judging by the timing, Ye Shiyuan should have returned by now.

Why had he still not come back?

"What is it? Are you worried about him? Actually, there’s nothing to worry about. Ye Shiyuan is the most outstanding disciple of our Lingguang Sect."

Bai He nodded.

"That’s true. Third Senior Sister, can I leave this place now? Senior Brother should allow me to leave by now, right?"

Zhou Yifei gently patted Bai He’s hair.

"Mm. Are you planning to go to the Spirit Pagoda to find Ye Shiyuan?"

Bai He nodded.

"Mm. Can I go pick him up personally?"

"You’re his Master, and he’s your disciple. Of course you can go pick him up. This time, though, don’t sneak around like a thief again. Aren’t you embarrassed? It’s a good thing that your secret trip to the Spirit Pagoda never became public knowledge. Otherwise, you would have made a complete fool of yourself."

Bai He felt somewhat embarrassed.

He had never expected that the matter would end up being exposed.

"Third Senior Sister, I promise that from now on, I’ll never sneak around like that again."

"Junior Brother, our Lingguang Sect conducts itself openly and honorably. There is no place in this world that we are not allowed to go. If you sneak around, then even if someone discovers you, they might still give you some face. But what if nobody knows who you are and you accidentally run into an enemy? What then?"

Bai He lowered his head.

Even after more than a year had passed, he seemed not to have changed very much.

"Alright, enough about that. Let’s go. Everyone has missed you quite a bit."

Bai He raised his head and smiled.

Zhou Yifei took his hand and led him out of the Frostfall Dominion.

When they passed through Nianbadu Ancient Town, they stopped there for a while.

Bai He needed to buy a few new sets of clothing, so he might as well do it here.

"Third Senior Sister, Sister Yao Guang is here as well, isn’t she? She’s now the Pavilion Master of the Yaowang Pavilion. Has Second Senior Brother come to see her during these past few years?"

"The two of them are both stubborn by nature. Which one do you expect to lower their head first?"

Alright then.

Expecting either of them to back down was practically impossible.

If they had been ordinary people, the years would have long since slipped away from them.

Unfortunately, both of them were cultivators.

Although Dan Zhu appeared older, that was simply because he preferred that appearance.

If he wanted to become a youthful young man again, it would take only a single moment.

When they arrived at the entrance, the guards did not even ask Zhou Yifei for a token.

They allowed her to enter directly and even bowed respectfully.

Bai He could not help feeling a little envious.

He remembered the time when he had brought Ye Shiyuan and Xu Feng along with him.

He had already taken out his token then, yet the guard had still looked at him with suspicion.

"Host, the Third Elder is already famous throughout the cultivation world. As for you, they probably don’t even know that the Lingguang Sect has someone like you."

Bai He was speechless.

The two of them entered the Yaowang Pavilion.

Naturally, the people at the entrance recognized Zhou Yifei.

After walking inside, Bai He noticed that the place had hardly changed at all.

Bai He curiously looked around in every direction.

"Bai He, go pick out some clothes first. Yao Guang and I have a few things to discuss."

"Alright, Third Senior Sister."

After entrusting Bai He to a maidservant, Zhou Yifei left.

"Young Master, all the clothing is here. Feel free to choose whatever you like."

The maid led Bai He into an enormous room.

The place was filled with dazzling displays of clothing.

Bai He’s eyes were practically overwhelmed.

Good heavens.

He was not seeing things, was he?

There were actually this many outfits here.

And every single one of them was beautiful.

Bai He muttered inwardly.

The problem was that he had not brought much money with him.

There was no way he could afford any of these.

Still, looking didn’t cost anything.

Based on Bai He’s figure, the maid selected and recommended several outfits.

Bai He picked up one of them.

With a simple spell, the clothing changed onto his body.

The fit was unexpectedly perfect.

"Young Master, this outfit suits you very well. There are also these others. Would you like to try them one by one?"

Although Bai He was very tempted, he still smiled and shook his head.
