Chapter 333: A Visit to Qinghai Sect

"You can’t. Senior Brother can’t either. I believe in Ye Shiyuan. One day, he will amaze every single one of us."

Gu He looked at Bai He with obvious disdain.

"When that day comes, he may no longer think you are worthy of him."

Bai He’s heart sank.

For once, he did not argue.

By that time...

Perhaps Ye Shiyuan really would no longer think much of him.

"Ahem. You do not have to be so upset. Ye Shiyuan is not the kind of person who falls in love with someone else so easily. It is not as though you have no chance at all."

Seeing how dejected Bai He looked, Gu He could not help softening his attitude and began saying a few comforting words.

Bai He found it rather strange.

"Fourth Senior Brother, weren’t all of you against it?"

"For the sake of the sect’s reputation, Senior Brother naturally could never agree to it. If Ye Shiyuan were with you under a different identity, then it would not necessarily be impossible. It’s just that..."

Gu He paused deliberately, immediately arousing Bai He’s curiosity.

"It’s just what?"

"It’s just that quite a few people already know he was once your disciple. There will probably be people gossiping about you behind your back."

Bai He did not care in the slightest.

"Let them gossip if they want. They are the ones getting tired, not me."

"There is one more thing. The Sect Master of Qinghai Sect has a terrible temper. He also has a personal grudge against Senior Brother. You had better be careful."

Gu He continued rambling on, telling Bai He many different things.

Bai He carefully remembered every single one of them.

When they arrived at Qinghai Sect for the first time, Bai He found everything incredibly fresh and interesting.

Compared to Lingguang Sect, the scenery here possessed an even stronger sense of ancient elegance.

The disciple who came to receive them was a young and handsome disciple.

He looked clean and refined, appearing only seventeen or eighteen years old.

He gave off the impression of an innocent and obedient young man.

Bai He had often wondered whether cultivators all had some sort of appearance requirement.

Was there really no such thing as an ugly cultivator?

[ Host, this is where you are mistaken. Cultivators are full of vitality and spiritual energy. They naturally look youthful and full of life. How could they possibly be ugly? ]

After thinking about it, Bai He felt that Mo Zhu’s explanation made perfect sense.

"Elder Gu, Elder Bai, and all the senior brothers and fellow disciples, during your stay at Qinghai Sect, you may reside here. If there is anything you need, you may let me know. My name is Hu Jintao."

Hu Jintao?

Bai He felt as though the name sounded somewhat familiar.

For a moment, however, he could not remember where he had heard it before.

Perhaps the original story had mentioned him at some point.

"Alright."

Bai He answered casually.

Hu Jintao’s gaze rested upon the bright and cheerful young man before him.

Qinghai Sect had very few young disciples.

Because of this, Hu Jintao rarely encountered someone like Bai He.

Although Bai He was an elder of Lingguang Sect, he looked about the same age as Hu Jintao himself.

His eyes curved gently with a smile, yet they were as bright and radiant as the moon.

Hu Jintao quickly withdrew his gaze.

"Then I shall take my leave."

Bai He paid no attention to any of this.

After Hu Jintao left, however, Gu He pulled Bai He aside.

"Fourth Senior Brother, is something wrong?"

"What do you think of that disciple just now?"

Although Bai He found it rather strange that his senior brother would suddenly ask such a question, he still answered honestly.

"He seems pretty good. He is quite a handsome young man. He even looks like the type who would be easy to bully."

Bai He immediately received a light knock on the head.

"All you ever think about is bullying other people."

"I was only saying it casually. We will be leaving Qinghai Sect in a few days anyway. Even if I wanted to bully him, when would I ever get the chance?"

Bai He felt that Gu He’s reaction seemed a little excessive.

"To tell you the truth, Hu Jintao is the son of Elder Shi Yuqi. After Senior Brother found out about you and Ye Shiyuan, he began considering matching you with Hu Jintao."

Bai He immediately widened his eyes.

The news was simply too shocking.

"Stop joking with me, Fourth Senior Brother."

"Do I look like I’m joking?"

That was exactly what made it so frightening.

Thinking Hu Jintao looked handsome and easy to bully was one thing.

But Bai He absolutely had no other intentions.

He was not someone who changed his affections so easily.

At that very moment, he finally remembered.

Wasn’t this Hu Jintao the unfortunate fiancé from the original story?

When Ye Shiyuan returned and destroyed Lingguang Sect, Hu Jintao had happened to be there.

His name had been among those who died.

Since he had only been mentioned briefly in the original story, Bai He had never really paid any attention to him.

"Senior Brother only has the idea for now. You do not have to be so nervous."

"No. I refuse."

"Let’s talk about it after we go back. Perhaps after spending some time at Qinghai Sect, you will discover that Hu Jintao is actually quite a good person."

A good person my foot.

This was not a matter of whether he chose him or not.

He and Ye Shiyuan had not even officially broken up yet.

How could he possibly agree to be with other people?

He also had no idea whether the Hu Jintao from the original story had liked him or not.

Still...

It should not be too late to stop this now.

This time, besides Bai He, Gu He, and Xu Feng, only three other disciples had come.
