#1052 - Chapter 1052 Know
“Master~” Bai Wuchen arrived at Ye Kong's thatched cottage, shouting at Ye Kong at the top of his lungs. Ye Kong was currently meditating inside the cottage. Hearing Bai Wuchen's voice, he impatiently got up and opened the door. “Master!” As soon as the door opened, Bai Wuchen poked his head in.
“Thwack~” Ye Kong knocked Bai Wuchen on the head, then fully opened the door and turned to walk towards the chair.
Bai Wuchen didn't stand on ceremony, bringing Hei Xuan directly into Ye Kong's thatched cottage.
Ye Kong sat in the chair, taking a sip of tea while glancing at Hei Xuan, then shifted his gaze back to Bai Wuchen.
“Speak, what is it you need from me?” Ye Kong knew at a glance that Bai Wuchen's visit meant something.
“Master, isn't it great that our entire Xiaoyao Peak returned safely from the煞beast forbidden ground? The senior and junior disciples all brought back a lot of good things. How about we hold a barbecue party tonight? Master, your skills are the best, everyone especially wants to eat the meat you grill. And, Master, don't forget, when we entered the 煞beast forbidden ground before, you promised us a barbecue feast.” Bai Wuchen spoke logically and confidently, unafraid of Ye Kong's refusal.
Ye Kong took another sip of tea, thinking Bai Wuchen's idea wasn't bad, so he nodded in agreement.
Bai Wuchen didn't expect Ye Kong to agree so readily, and was a little happy.
“What's his name?” Ye Kong looked at Hei Xuan behind Bai Wuchen.
“Oh, Master, his name is Hei Xuan. I've taken him as my disciple, and I'll educate him well in the future, so he can shine on Xiaoyao Peak.” Bai Wuchen said earnestly, turning to pull Hei Xuan forward.
“This is my master, you'll call him Grandmaster from now on, understand?” Hei Xuan nodded gently.
“By the way, Master, Hei Xuan can't speak, do you have any way to help him?” Bai Wuchen took the opportunity to seek a solution from Ye Kong.
Ye Kong thought for a moment, then casually said.
“He's your disciple, you as his master, should do your best, right?”
Bai Wuchen thought what Ye Kong said seemed quite reasonable, but something felt off.
“Master, for the barbecue tonight, should we invite Spiritual Master Ling as well? After all, Spiritual Master Ling saved your life.”
Ye Kong paused, and put down the teacup in his hand.
“When did Ye Ling save me?” Ye Kong didn't know what was happening outside when he was inside the 煞beast forbidden ground. After he came out, he didn't even say hello to Ye Ling, and went straight back to Xiaoyao Peak, so he really didn't know what happened.
“Master, don't you know? When the exit of the 煞beast forbidden ground was about to close, you didn't know what you were dawdling about inside, and hadn't come out yet. Seeing that the exit was about to disappear, Spiritual Master Ling forcibly activated her own spiritual essence to support the exit, buying you a lot of time to come out. The Martial Dao Peak Master was overjoyed to see that you hadn't come out.” Bai Wuchen told Ye Kong everything completely.
Ye Kong's deep eyes didn't know what he was thinking, but Bai Wuchen could feel the aura around Ye Kong becoming a little cold.
“Master?” Seeing that Ye Kong didn't answer him, Bai Wuchen called out again.
“I'm going out for a while, I'll be back tonight.” Ye Kong left a sentence, then spread his arms and soared directly into the air.
“Whoosh~” Chi Xiao streaked across the sky, steadily catching Ye Kong.
Bai Wuchen looked at Ye Kong's gradually disappearing back, feeling a little puzzled.
“Hei Xuan, let's go, I'll find you a thatched cottage.” Bai Wuchen took Hei Xuan to wander around Xiaoyao Peak.
At this time, in the Zixia Pavilion, Ye Ling was meditating with her hands channeling energy, the spiritual energy in her body fluctuating violently, boiling up. Du was standing next to Ye Ling.
“Spiritual Master Ling, why do you have to do this, insisting on consuming spiritual essence.” Du learned about what happened from Xuan, and kindly advised.
Ye Ling heard Du's words, but didn't make any reply.
A Yuling Guard wearing silver armor walked in, cupping his fists and saluting Du and Ye Ling.
“Elder Du, Spiritual Master Ling, Xiaoyao Peak Master Ye Kong has arrived.” The Yuling Guard said respectfully.
Ye Ling suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes clearly showing some panic, but then she returned to her usual solemn appearance.
“That's good, if he's here, just tell him directly.” Du said from the side.
“Elder Du, no need to say anything.” Ye Ling gave Du a look, and Du immediately stopped talking.
“Let him in.” Ye Ling said to the Yuling Guard, then stood up.
Soon, Ye Kong walked into the Zixia Hall. Ye Kong was dressed in white, and you could still see some dried bloodstains on the hem of his white robe.
When Ye Kong saw Ye Ling, she was still in a solemn and serious state.
Ye Kong's pair of deep eyes were looking back and forth at Ye Ling, the emotions in his eyes somewhat unclear.
Seeing that Ye Kong didn't speak, Ye Ling asked.
“Peak Master Ye, what brings you here?” Ye Ling's voice was a little soft, like the most difficult wind to tame in Jiangnan.
“Tonight, my Xiaoyao Peak is holding a barbecue feast, please, Spiritual Master Ling, do us the honor of gathering at my Xiaoyao Peak.” Ye Kong's voice was a little low, sounding without any waves, polite but stiff, and with some courtesy.
Ye Ling hesitated and thought for a moment, at this time Du spoke from the side.
“Spiritual Master Ling is not feeling well and is unable to go to your Xiaoyao Peak.”
“No! I'm going.” Ye Ling immediately retorted.
Ye Kong didn't speak, nor did he have any expression, just nodded, and turned to leave.
“Spiritual Master Ling, your body?” Seeing that Ye Kong had already left, Du spoke again.
“I know my body well, I'm already fine.” Ye Ling knew that Du was doing it for her own good, so Ye Ling didn't blame him.
When Ye Kong left the Zixia Hall, he happened to bump into Tian Qingwu and others who were about to enter the Zixia Hall, and behind them were the people from the Yinsha Palace.
“Hey, Peak Master Ye, why are you here?” Xiao Qing, who was next to Tian Qingwu, greeted Ye Kong.
“Passing by.” Ye Kong said perfunctorily, and walked straight past.
“What's wrong with Peak Master Ye?” Xiao Qing was a little puzzled.
When Ye Kong brushed past Wen Hou and Wen Yi, he could clearly feel the two of them casting fiery gazes. Ye Kong ignored them and left the Zixia Pavilion on his sword.
