Chapter 390: The Fake Ye Shiyuan

Bai He paused for a moment before nodding in agreement. "Alright, you go out first. I will be out shortly."

"Mm."

After Ye Shiyuan turned around and left Bai He’s room, the uneasiness in Bai He’s heart suddenly grew stronger. This feeling was almost like fear... Yes, fear.

Goosebumps spread all over his body, and Bai He did not know what was happening.

"Knock, knock."

The sound of knocking became clearer.

"Master, are you ready? We can leave now."

Bai He cautiously walked over to the door and looked outside through it, catching a faint glimpse of a figure through the window.

"Mo Zhu, what should I do?"

"Host, what happened? Why are you trembling?"

Bai He squeezed his palm, forcing himself to calm down. He did not want to tremble either, but he was afraid. This person was not Ye Shiyuan. He was not.

Bai He could almost be one hundred percent certain that the person outside was not Ye Shiyuan. But was Ye Shiyuan not here?

"Master?"

Again, it was the voice calling out to him.

A sword instantly materialized in Bai He’s hand.

"Host, whether it is a human or a demon, you have no reason to be afraid."

"I am naturally not afraid of humans or demons, but what if..."

"Host, are you talking about a ghost?"

Bai He nodded. He had already encountered both humans and demons, so he was no longer afraid of them. But what if it was a ghost?

If some ghost transformed into Ye Shiyuan’s appearance and came to his side, and then... Just thinking about it made Bai He feel terrified.

"Host, even if it is a ghost, it definitely cannot be your opponent. Just open the door and catch it. Then would you not know what exactly it is?"

That sounded easy enough. Could a system possibly understand the human mind?

Mo Zhu continued mercilessly.

"Host, do you really think a single door can stop a ghost?"

Bai He was so frightened that he loosened his grip, and at that very moment, the door opened.

"He’er?" Bai He stared in shock at Ye Shiyuan as he walked inside. After confirming that it was truly him, he immediately threw himself into Ye Shiyuan’s arms.

"What happened?" Ye Shiyuan had only been gone for a short while, yet it seemed that quite a lot had happened.

Bai He pulled himself out of his embrace. "Shiyuan, when did you come back?"

If Ye Shiyuan was here, then that person definitely would not dare to come. But this was Ye Shiyuan. This was not the fake one from earlier.

"I just came back. Why is Master asking?"

"Shiyuan, will you believe me? When I woke up just now, I saw you. Someone who looked almost exactly like you. He told me to go with him."

Ye Shiyuan’s brows immediately knitted together. He naturally believed Bai He without question. Moreover, this was not the first time something like this had happened. He swept his gaze around Bai He’s room, but he did not discover anything unusual.

"He was still here just now, right before you came in." Bai He provided an extremely useful piece of information.

Ye Shiyuan nodded. "Alright, I understand."

"Shiyuan, can I ask you a question?"

"Mm."

Bai He cautiously spoke. "Does Heiyuan City have ghosts, you know, those things that people call spirits?"

Ye Shiyuan already understood why Bai He looked so flustered. "You think that was a ghost?"

Bai He nodded. "Mm. Was it not?"

"There are none in this place. However, if Master wants to see them, after we leave, I can take you somewhere to have a look."

Bai He waved his hand and refused. "I am not going."

Whoever wanted to go could go. Bai He had no particular interest in such things and did not have the slightest desire to see them.

Ye Shiyuan could not help laughing. He reached out and gently rubbed Bai He’s hair. "Master, rest for a while first. I will be outside. I will not go anywhere."

"Mm."

After Ye Shiyuan left Bai He’s room, how could he possibly fall asleep? What if the same thing happened again after he fell asleep?

"Mo Zhu, what exactly was that thing?"

"Host, ordinary people cannot enter this place. Could it be someone from the floor above or below deliberately coming to cause trouble for you?"

Bai He thought about it for a moment and felt that what Mo Zhu said was not entirely unreasonable. "Why would they come looking for me? Is there something on me that they want to obtain?"

There had to be a reason, after all. Surely they could not be so bored that they deliberately came here just to scare him.

"There is another possibility, Host."

"Then say it quickly. Stop keeping me in suspense."

"Perhaps it is one of your enemies."

Bai He immediately rejected this possibility in his heart. What enemy? Where would he get an enemy in this place?

Thinking about it carefully, the only person who could possibly count as one.

Zhang Hao?

Surely not.

Although he seemed a little bored, he should not be that bored, right?

Bai He spent the entire day feeling nervous and on edge. Fortunately, whether the person was really Ye Shiyuan or not, Bai He could still barely tell at a glance.

Whenever Ye Shiyuan went outside, Bai He followed him as well. He did not dare stay alone in this room.

After going outside, it was not long before Bai He saw Zhang Hao. He was dressed exactly the same as yesterday. Bai He did not call out to him, and naturally, Zhang Hao did not even glance at Bai He.

After all, they were not people who walked the same path, so there was no need to force themselves to talk.

Bai He thought to himself that they could simply regard each other as people who had crossed paths by chance. Afterward, neither of them would know the other.

However, Bai He was completely stunned when he saw Ye Shiyuan go to look for Zhang Hao.
