Chapter 300: The Real Ye Shiyuan

The Ye Shiyuan in front of him felt extremely unfamiliar as if he had never known this person at all.

He was covered in blood, looking completely terrified.

And he was even asking hom what he should do at this moment.

Ye Shiyuan had never asked him what to do.

He would only tell him how to do it.

"Master, what should I do? If this matter is discovered by others, the Sect Master will definitely not let me go. Only you can save me."

He walked step by step toward him while holding a blood stained weapon in his hand.

"Host, he is about to come over."

Bai He suddenly looked up.

"Stand there. Do not move."

"Master, are you afraid that I will hurt you? Do not worry, do not be afraid. In this world, I would hurt anyone, but I would never hurt you."

He said words meant to reassure him, but Bai He still felt a chill running down his spine.

His expression...

"You are not Shiyuan, are you?"

As soon as Bai He spoke, the Ye Shiyuan in front of him stopped.

"Master, what are you saying? If I am not Shiyuan, then who could I be?"

"That is enough. The only reason I am not exposing you is because I think this might also be part of the trial. Right now, I am wondering whether you will walk up to me and stab me as well and ending up like my Second Senior Brother."

Bai He spoke seriously, without a trace of joking.

He truly believed he understood Ye Shiyuan very well.

So when exactly did he realize that this person was not Ye Shiyuan?

At the beginning, Bai He truly did not notice anything wrong, because apart from having an identical appearance, even the behavior, mannerisms, and tone of speech were exactly the same.

But later on, everything changed drastically.

"I have never been able to figure out how to face you. Could it be that this trial is something like... you kill my senior brother, I betray the Lingguang Sect for you, take you away, or even risk my life to protect you?"

Bai He actually did not understand love that well.

But if this was what love looked like, was it not a little too ridiculous?

Even if the relationship between two people was not always sweet, he never believed that two people who were constantly trapped in hardship and struggling alone would still think that love was the most important thing.

He stared at the person in front of him.

The Sky Cutting Sword had already appeared in his hand at this moment.

The Ye Shiyuan in front of him was fake, his Second Senior Brother was fake, and Yao Guang was naturally also fake.

In this place, everything was fake except himself.

Bai He even began to wonder whether he himself was also fake.

"Master, what are you doing? Are you going to kill me?"

Bai He tightened his grip on the sword hilt, he pressed his lips together, and his expression became heavy.

"Host, why are you not making a move?"

Mo Zhu was actually still urging him.

Could he not at least think about this properly?

What would happen after killing him?

Would it mean failure of the trial, or success?

These kinds of questions that others did not need to consider, was he not allowed to think about them?

"Master."

It was still Ye Shiyuan’s voice, but something about it felt slightly off.

It was as if something in the air had been torn apart.

A crack appeared in the sky, and someone emerged from within.

This person had an identical face to the one in front of him.

He descended like a deity, arriving before him.

Even though the face was the same, the feeling he gave off was completely different between his brows and eyes.

He reached his side and wrapped an arm around his waist.

The movement was gentle, yet carried a hint of dominance.

The feeling of having something lost and found again made Ye Shiyuan momentarily emotional.

"Master."

The stone that had been hanging in Bai He’s heart finally fell.

This was the real Ye Shiyuan, not that person.

"Shiyuan, and that person..."

As soon as Bai He spoke, Ye Shiyuan flicked the sword in his hand backward.

It shot out with perfect accuracy, piercing that figure.

The figure then vanished like smoke in an instant.

Bai He could not really understand what it would feel like for Ye Shiyuan to personally kill someone who looked exactly like himself.

Ye Shiyuan looked at his hand.

The wound in his palm was still real.

He pressed his lips together and said nothing, he just carefully applying medicine for him.

Bai He’s gaze fell on his side profile.

The focused Ye Shiyuan was indeed the most attractive.

"This burn from pure fire is no small matter. I have already drawn out the remaining power of the pure fire inside."

"Okay."

Bai He obediently responded.

Ye Shiyuan looked up at him once, then continued to bandage his wound.

"You knew it was not me. Why did you still go and do those things?"

"What could I do? There were some things where even if I knew, I still had to do them. If I did not do them..."

If he had any other choice, Bai He would not have done it.

After all, it was his hand.

Of course he did not want to be injured.

After Ye Shiyuan finished bandaging him, Bai He quickly pulled his hand back.

The faint pain from earlier had already eased a lot now.

"Shiyuan, how did you find me?"

"After I arrived here, I seemed to fall into a state of unconsciousness. When I woke up, I met a person. That person told me you were here, so I broke through the restriction and found you."

From Ye Shiyuan’s description, it sounded like an extremely simple process.

But Bai He knew that there must have been many obstacles in between.
