Rapid Progress

Ye Bai was momentarily stunned, hastily trying to remedy the situation, saying, “Eldest Senior Sister, what I meant was for you to help me find some clothes. As you can see, my current attire is stained with blood and cannot be worn anymore.”

Su Xue also felt a bit embarrassed and immediately found a set of clothes for Ye Bai, placing them nearby before hurriedly leaving the room.

From a distance, Su Xue’s voice could still be heard, “Junior Brother Ye, take good care of yourself. I’ll come to see you again tomorrow.”

Ye Bai’s previously anxious heart instantly settled, feeling a sense of relief. The rapid progress in his relationship with Su Xue made him believe that everything was worth it.

Whether influenced by the original owner of this body or not, Ye Bai had long discovered that whenever he saw Su Xue, he couldn’t conceal the burning passion in his heart. This genuine affection made it impossible for him to control himself.

With a smile on his lips, Ye Bai leisurely changed into the new clothes and unexpectedly drifted off to sleep.

...

Three more days passed, and with Su Xue’s daily medicinal treatment, Ye Bai’s injuries were finally on the mend.

At this moment, a small rumor began circulating throughout the entire Heavenly Sword Sect.

“Hey, have you heard? Ye Bai, that useless guy, got injured, and Eldest Senior Sister actually took care of him for three days without changing her clothes!”

“Is it true? That can’t be possible, right? Could it be that Eldest Senior Sister Su has taken a liking to such a waste who can’t even reach the first level of Qi Condensation?”

“Does it even need to ask? We all saw it with our own eyes. If you don’t believe it, go and ask!”

“I heard that Ye Bai helped Eldest Senior Sister comprehend some incredible technique.”

“Haha, what a fool! What does Ye Bai understand? How could he possibly help Eldest Senior Sister? It must be fake.”

All the disciples were envious, while Ye Bai, in this manner, gained fame within the Heavenly Sword Sect!

On the fourth day, Ye Bai planned to take Su Xue to the back mountain to guide her in cultivating higher-level techniques. However, as soon as they stepped out, he noticed many disciples glaring at him with a hateful gaze.

Did he become more handsome after cultivating the semi-saint cultivation technique?

Ye Bai touched his face. Although he didn’t know what exactly had happened, he could guess from the envious, jealous, and resentful looks of these disciples.

With a hint of self-satisfaction in his eyes, Ye Bai pretended to sigh and said, “Eldest Senior Sister, I feel immense pressure walking beside you.”

“What’s wrong?” Su Xue couldn’t help but notice the strange gazes from the disciples. Upon hearing his words, she became worried.

Ye Bai smiled mischievously and said, “Just look at their eyes, they would do anything to devour me. Ah, it’s all because the most beautiful senior sister is personally taking care of me these days.”

Su Xue’s face blushed slightly, and she scolded, “Junior Brother, what nonsense are you talking about? You have done me a favor, so it’s only natural for me to take care of you.”

“But they don’t think so.”

Ye Bai said meaningfully, “I have a feeling that something is going to happen today.”

Su Xue was taken aback, not understanding his meaning.

Soon enough, Ye Bai’s prediction came true.

Several young disciples in long robes blocked their path, their gazes coldly fixed on Ye Bai.

“Good dogs don’t block the way.” Ye Bai said calmly.

“You dare to insult us like that! Who are you calling a dog?”

The leader of the young men angrily retorted, “I think you’re the real dog!”

Ye Bai smiled faintly and said, “Whoever stands in front of me is nothing but a dog.”

“Outrageous!”

The young man sneered and said, “You, a useless person known by everyone, have no right to speak to me like this.”

Ye Bai coldly smiled without saying another word.

This guy was Zhao Le. He used to mock Ye Bai frequently, relying on his decent talent and cultivation at the second level of Qi Condensation. He was always arrogant and oppressive towards disciples.

The disciples often held grievances against him, but they dared not speak up because he was a relative of an elder of their sect.

Su Xue furrowed and said, “Junior Brother Zhao, we have something to attend to. Please step aside.”

Zhao Le’s gaze burned with filthy desire as he looked at Su Xue. With an undisguised admiration on his face, he respectfully said, “Eldest Senior Sister, originally I didn’t dare to stop you, but when I saw you being confused by this Ye Bai, I had to step forward and expose him.”

Ye Bai playfully said, “Very well, I’m interested to hear Senior Brother Zhao’s insights.”

Zhao Le sneered, staring at him, and said, “Ye Bai, you, a waste who can’t even reach the first level of Qi Condensation, dare to deceive Eldest Senior Sister Su. I don’t care what methods you used, but today I must expose you!”

“Then go ahead. How do you plan to expose me?”

Ye Bai said nonchalantly.

Seeing him speak like this, Su Xue suppressed her inner disgust and stood silently.

“How?”

Zhao Le’s mouth curled up with contempt as he said, “Ye Bai, I challenge you now, do you dare to accept?”

“You?”

Ye Bai rubbed his chin and hesitated for a moment.

He had recently broken through to the fifth level, but he wasn’t very proficient in controlling his power yet, so engaging in a fight with someone seemed unwise.

Zhao Le scornfully said, “What’s the matter? Are you scared? If you are, it’s fine. Just kneel down now, call me ‘grandfather’ a few times, and swear to disappear from my sight from now on. Then I’ll let you go.”

“Zhao Le, you’ve gone too far. We are fellow disciples. How can you be so cruel?” Su Xue’s gaze turned cold.

Zhao Le casually said, “Eldest Senior Sister, I’m just worried that you’re deceived, so I wanted to show you the true nature of this waste called Ye Bai.”

Su Xue’s beautiful eyebrows furrowed, and she suddenly said, “Since you’re so confident, why not the two of have a little competition?”

This caught Zhao Le and his followers off guard.

Heavenly Sword Sect was just a small sect, so Su Xue, as the eldest senior sister, not only had the best talent but also the strongest power in the entire sect.

Although Zhao Le was at the second level of Qi Condensation, the gap between him and Su Xue, who was at the third level of Qi Condensation, was immense.

Forced to smile, Zhao Le said, “Naturally, I can’t defeat you, Eldest Senior Sister. That’s because your strength and talent are far superior to mine.”

Su Xue said coldly, “If that’s the case, what qualifies you to speak to Ye Bai like this?”

Zhao Le was taken aback. He realized that if Ye Bai was considered trash in his eyes, then in Su Xue’s eyes, he would also be regarded as worthless.

The more he thought about it, the more unpleasant Zhao Le became.

If Su Xue saw him as a trash, how could he possibly be accepted by her?

Su Xue calmly glanced at them, her gaze sweeping over the disciples behind Zhao Le.

Seeing their expressions change, she lifted her head, slightly parted her red lips, and firmly said, “As for whom I choose to be with, that is my business and has nothing to do with all of you.”
