196: Chapter 196: Will She Like ?
Ye Suxin and Lin Bai, one ahead and one following, had crossed over half of Shenwu Kingdom and returned to the Spirit Sword Sect.
Upon returning to the Spirit Sword Sect, the first thing Ye Suxin did was to go to Lin Bai’s residence.
Upon finding Lin Bai absent, an angry Ye Suxin shattered his ho with a palm strike, then left in a huff.
Lin Bai stood at a distance, watching Ye Suxin’s furious deanor in silence.
After Ye Suxin left, Lin Bai returned to his ho, which had now beco ruins, his face slightly gloomy.
If it was soone else who had dared to destroy his ho, Lin Bai would definitely have killed that person.
But the person in question was Ye Suxin…
Lin Bai’s heart was in turmoil, struggling and confused; he didn’t know what to do next.
Ye Suxin and Lin Bai were rivals, and not once had Lin Bai thought of killing Ye Suxin.
But at that mont, Lin Bai and Ye Suxin had developed that kind of relationship; so, where should he place Ye Suxin in his heart next?
As an enemy?
As a friend?
Or…
as a lover?
Lin Bai stood montarily amid the ruins before heading solemnly towards White Cloud Peak.
Li Shanqing was strolling around White Cloud Peak, admiring the scenery.
“Junior Brother, you’re back?” Li Shanqing called out to Lin Bai, laughing.
“Greetings, Third Senior Brother.” Lin Bai responded with a smile.
“Third Senior Brother, there has been a bit of an incident at my residence, it’s currently uninhabitable.
Would it be possible for to temporarily reside on White Cloud Peak?” Lin Bai asked Li Shanqing with a formal salute.
Li Shanqing responded with a smile, “Of course, Master has said that you could move up to White Cloud Peak, co on, I have prepared a room for you long ago.”
“Many thanks, Third Senior Brother.” Lin Bai thanked him, then followed Li Shanqing into a small courtyard.
The courtyard was fresh and tranquil.
Spiritual magpies fluttered about on the treetops, chattering cheerfully, creating an intoxicating floral atmosphere that induced peace of mind.
“I see that you’re preoccupied with sothing, you should take a good rest.”
Seeing Lin Bai’s distracted manner, Li Shanqing didn’t disturb him any further.
After ensuring his accommodations, he left.
Lin Bai sat numbly in the courtyard, watching the flowers bloom and wither in front of the courtyard, and the sun and moon rise and set.
He remained silent.
For one day, two days,
For a total of three days, Lin Bai sat in the courtyard without speaking a word.
His gaze was vacant as if he was lost in thought.
On the other end of White Cloud Peak,
Li Shanqing and Ling Tianzi stood together.
“Master, ever since Junior Brother returned from the Wind God Sect, he has been like this, did he perhaps go mad?” Li Shanqing curiously asked.
“I guess he’s encountered sothing that’s causing him difficulty.” Ling Tianzi replied.
“Shanqing, take a guess, what can be causing your Junior Brother to be troubled?” Ling Tianzi asked with a slight smile.
“Is it about the spiritual stones?” Li Shanqing asked with a frown.
“Do you think Lin Bai would be worried sick over these worldly possessions?” Ling Tianzi shook his head and said.
“Master is right, although Junior Brother sees the importance of spiritual stones, he will not worry over them.
If he needed spiritual stones, he should be trying his best to earn them right now.” Li Shanqing nodded and said:
“Then, is it the imnse pressure from Lin Zi’er?”
Li Shanqing thought for a while and then asked.
Ling Tianzi shook his head and said, “Although Lin Zi’er is powerful, Lin Bai has already defeated her twice.
According to Lin Bai’s character, if the pressure truly ca from Lin Zi’er, he should be crazily using the power of the Devouring Sword Spirit now, slaughtering demon beasts in the Demon Beast Mountain Range to improve his cultivation.”
“If it’s not because of Lin Zi’er or the spiritual stones, then why?” Li Shanqing asked, frowning.
“For a woman.” Ling Tianzi said with a smile.
Li Shanqing was taken aback, and laughed, “If Junior Brother is in love, he should be happy, not looking so gloomy and distressed.”
“Because the woman he fell in love with, he doesn’t know how to define their relationship,” Ling Tianzi slowly said.
“I don’t understand, Master,” Li Shanqing said with a bitter smile.
“You will understand in the future,” Ling Tianzi chuckled.
Li Shanqing gave a wry smile, “So what should we do now, Master?”
“Since he wants to be quiet, let him be.
I suspect he doesn’t want to discuss this matter with anyone.
If that’s the case, then we shouldn’t bother him,” Ling Tianzi said.
If Lin Bai wanted soone to unravel his doubts, the first thing Lin Bai should have done after coming to White Cloud Peak was to find Ling Tianzi.
After all, as the saying goes, a day as a teacher is a lifeti as a father.
But Lin Bai didn’t seek Ling Tianzi, indicating that Lin Bai didn’t want anyone else to know about the matters weighing on his heart.
Ling Tianzi wasn’t foolish, he naturally understood Lin Bai’s thoughts, and instructed Li Shanqing not to disturb Lin Bai.
Ever since Lin Bai had beco Ling Tianzi’s disciple, it seed that Li Shanqing had grown increasingly satisfied with him.
Several tis, Li Shanqing wanted to help Lin Bai, but was stopped by Ling Tianzi.
With no disturbances from Li Shanqing and Ling Tianzi, Lin Bai sat alone in the courtyard for three days.
“Sigh, let it be,” Lin Bai sighed.
After thinking hard for three days, Lin Bai did not find any solutions.
“If Ye Suxin is willing, I can take responsibility for her, but if she doesn’t want to, then let’s treat this as a dream,” Lin Bai concluded.
Lin Bai truly didn’t know how to talk to Ye Suxin.
Ye Suxin was Su Cang’s fiancee, and Su Cang regarded Lin Bai as a thorn in his side.
Ye Suxin also tried to kill Lin Bai for Su Cang, which showed that she had feelings for Su Cang.
Yet, she ended up having an affair with Lin Bai.
What should one do in such a situation!
“If I am willing to take responsibility, will she…
like ?”
Lin Bai said bitterly in his heart, thinking of the ugly scar behind Ye Suxin, which resembled a centipede, all thanks to him.
After sitting in the courtyard for three days, Lin Bai slowly shifted his focus away from Ye Suxin, deeply burying that part of his mory.
Lin Bai knew very well, now was not a good ti to discuss love.
He had more formidable opponents to challenge.
And he needed to find his missing father.
Ever since the battle at the Relics of the Wind God Sect, Lin Bai deeply felt Lin Zi’er’s terrifying talent.
Moreover, with the backing of the cultivation resources provided by the Canghai Yuntai Palace, if Lin Bai didn’t work hard, it was very likely that one wrong move would lead to complete defeat.
“If I can condense five Spirit Vortexes, I should be able to catch up with Lin Zi’er.”
“But for these five Spirit Vortexes, I still need wood, water, fire, and earth spiritual dicines.
Where can I find these dicines?”
Lin Bai started to ponder carefully.
And the tasks posted on the Spirit Sword Sect’s Task Hall, no one had yet provided clues about the whereabouts of Thousands of Years Spirit dicine.
“I’ll have to try my luck in the Treasure Pavilion.
If there is none, I can have them shipped from the neighboring Divine Sect.
Right now, the first thing I need to do is find a way to earn so spiritual stones.”
Lin Bai reached into his storage bag, which was completely empty.
Originally, Lin Bai’s storage bag had a large number of spiritual stones, more than a hundred million, but a significant part of it was consud inside the Ti Cultivation Tower of the Wind God Sect.
Now, Lin Bai’s storage bag only had about thirty million spiritual stones left.
Obviously, this amount of spiritual stones was not even enough to buy a sprout of Thousands of Years Spirit dicine.
“Let’s go and see if Kong Fang and Lijian Xing have returned to Sword Alliance,” Lin Bai decided.
The next morning, Lin Bai cleaned up and first paid a visit to Ling Tianzi.
After consulting him on so matters of Martial Art, Lin Bai then left White Cloud Peak.
