Chapter 325: A Promise to Shi Gui

"It’s a pretty good tea. When I leave, get me some tea leaves."

"You really are not polite at all."

"What do you mean by that? Shiyuan is currently going to see your master, and he will definitely need the medicine from our Lingguang Sect. What is wrong with taking a little of your tea leaves? So stingy."

Ma Hongjun turned around to fetch the tea leaves, but still could not help saying,

"You really do not suffer any loss at all."

"If I suffered even a little loss, you would not be able to afford the compensation."

Ma Hongjun generously brought the tea leaves over and placed them on the table.

"Here, take them and put them away."

Bai He happily put them away, his face full of satisfaction.

"That is more like it. Let me ask you something. Did you already know that Zhang Wuji had the Qingluan Lotus Seed?"

"I did not know."

"Stop pretending. You definitely knew."

"I did have suspicions, but I was not certain. I did not tell you for two reasons. First, I was not sure. Second, I felt that you would not be able to obtain the Qingluan Lotus Seed from Zhang Wuji anyway."

Ma Hongjun was clearly underestimating him.

Bai He touched his own face.

He was used to it already, used to it.

He did not care at all.

"But I got it."

Bai He said with a slightly proud tone.

"You really are lucky. Elder Bai He, your luck is truly something else. Someone like Zhang Wuji, and you were actually able to deal with him?"

This made Ma Hongjun have to look at Bai He in a new light.

Bai He raised his eyebrows.

"You still have not told me. What exactly is Zhang Wuji’s relationship with the Manor Master of Qingluan Manor?"

"I am not too sure either. Only my Master knows. It seems that he has some connection with the founding ancestor of my sect, so every Manor Master has had contact with him. As for the other matters, I do not know."

Bai He tapped his finger against the ground, while resting his head on his other hand, as if deep in thought.

"Just do not worry about these things. Anyway, congratulations. You have recovered."

"Thanks."

After a while, Ye Shiyuan and Xu Feng returned.

Ma Hongjun intended to give Ye Shiyuan a big hug, but Ye Shiyuan pushed him away with one hand.

"Brother Shiyuan, do not be so cold. It has only been a short time since we last met. Why are you still like this?"

Ye Shiyuan’s expression was somewhat indifferent.

He walked to his master’s side and his usually cold expression softened slightly.

"Master, the Manor Master of Qingluan Manor is already fine."

Bai He nodded.

"Mm, alright. I know."

"Then we can head back now."

Ye Shiyuan clearly did not like staying here and Bai He more or less understood the reason why.

"Alright."

"Master, let’s go straight back. There is no need to see irrelevant people."

The person he was referring to was probably Zhang Wuji.

But Bai He had already promised to be friends with Zhang Wuji.

If he left just like this without even saying goodbye, would that not be a little inappropriate?

However, if he went to see him, judging from the look on Ye Shiyuan’s face, he would definitely get angry.

Bai He thought for a moment.

"Wait for me."

"Alright."

Bai He ran to the side, wrote a letter, then handed it to Ma Hongjun.

"Ma Hongjun, please help me deliver this letter to Zhang Wuji."

"Why aren’t you going yourself?"

"We’re leaving now, so I’ll have to trouble you. Besides, we just helped you with such a huge favor. You wouldn’t refuse such a small request, would you?"

Ma Hongjun had no choice but to accept it.

"I knew you wouldn’t let me off so easily. Giving you tea leaves wasn’t enough."

It had only been a tiny bit of tea leaves, yet he was still complaining about it now.

Bai He suddenly regretted not returning the tea leaves to him.

But since he had already taken them, he was definitely not giving them back.

...

Lingguang Sect.

Bai He sat alone while absentmindedly tracing the rim of the teacup in front of him with his finger.

[ Host, if you have nothing to do, you should go and find the Third Elder. ]

"Why would I go look for Third Senior Sister?"

[ Did you forget? You promised Shi Gui that you would arrange for him to meet the Third Elder. ]

Only then did Bai He remember that there was still such a matter.

"Do I really have to let my Third Senior Sister meet him?"

Bai He could not help feeling that doing so would only end up harming his Third Senior Sister.

[ Host, that is for you to decide. After all, you were the one who made the promise. You also know what Shi Gui is like. If he finds out that you deceived him, the consequences will definitely be very serious. ]

Bai He subconsciously touched his neck.

For some reason, it suddenly felt chilly.

Was he really going to lose his life because of this?

[ Host, actually, there is another way. ]

"What way?"

[ The Third Elder originally wanted to kill Shi Gui to avenge herself. You only need to tell the Third Elder where Shi Gui is now, and that will be enough. Meeting is still meeting, but you never promised Shi Gui what kind of meeting it would be. ]

Bai He immediately felt that Mo Zhu’s suggestion made perfect sense.

He really could do it that way.

"You’re right. Once my Third Senior Sister knows where Shi Gui is, she will definitely go to fight him. I can arrange for Shi Gui to meet her and at the same time I will also help my Third Senior Sister capture Shi Gui."

[ Host, aren’t you afraid anymore? ]

Faced with Mo Zhu’s question, Bai He was startled.
