#82 - Chapter 82 That's not called cheating, that's called Xiaobai's contribution

Heaven Sword Peak.

Chen Changqing knelt on one knee outside his master's room, his eyes firm, and questioned:

"Master, the Seven Star Sword Disciples were acting on my orders to intercept the disciples of the逍遥峰 (Xiaoyao Peak), and they had no intention to kill. They don't deserve to die. Why did you kill them?"

He couldn't understand. The Seven Star Sword Disciples were innocent, acting entirely on orders. His master knew this, so why kill them?

"Are you here to blame me?" Chen Chunyang's cold voice came from inside the room.

"I wouldn't dare!" Chen Changqing lowered his head and said after a long silence, "Disciple just wants an explanation."

"Heaven Sword Peak also needs an explanation."

After Chen Changqing finished speaking, Chen Chunyang's voice came from the room after a long time.

"If it weren't for the pressure from逍遥峰 (Xiaoyao Peak), why would I have killed the Seven Star Sword Disciples?"

"I was also forced to, Changqing. If you want to avenge them, then in the final competition, deal with the逍遥峰 (Xiaoyao Peak) disciples."

With a few words, Chen Chunyang shifted the blame to逍遥峰 (Xiaoyao Peak).

Chen Changqing's expression darkened upon hearing his master's words. He wasn't stupid and could understand the meaning behind his master's words.

But he didn't understand how his master could kill the Seven Star Sword Disciples for a bit of face that wasn't even necessary.

Although there was indeed pressure from逍遥峰 (Xiaoyao Peak), that wasn't the main reason.

Chen Changqing thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out.

"Disciple understands," Chen Changqing said, rising from the ground, cupping his fist towards the room, and leaving with a somber expression.

Inside the room,

Chen Chunyang sat cross-legged, dignified and solemn.

Behind him was the floating Heaven Sword, emitting a faint yellow glow, with a trace of black mixed in.

...

逍遥峰 (Xiaoyao Peak).

Xiao Bai and Lin Yaoyao sat next to their master, counting spirit stones one by one.

Deliberately counting for their master to hear.

"518, 519, 520..."

Ye Kong was getting sleepy listening to them. Xiao Bai and Lin Yaoyao sat on either side of him, counting, but they were counting differently.

Lin Yaoyao had counted to 520, while Xiao Bai had only counted to 250.

"You two stop counting. The Sect Leader won't short you," Ye Kong said unhappily, his ears almost calloused from listening.

Xiao Bai and Lin Yaoyao stopped counting when they heard this.

"Master, I have money now," Xiao Bai said happily with a smile.

And you're still a pauper, with nothing.

Envy me, jealous?

Xiao Bai was extremely smug!

Xiao Bai was also unhappy and sat down on Erha's body with a thud.

Lin Yaoyao looked at the spirit stones on the ground, thinking: So many spirit stones are enough for me to form my Golden Core.

However, to be on the safe side, I have to trick Xiao Bai out of his share of the spirit stones as well.

No, it's not tricking, it's Xiao Bai's contribution.

Yes, when Master is not around, I will have Xiao Bai contribute his spirit stones to help his senior sister.

Lin Yaoyao had already set her sights on Xiao Bai's spirit stones.

The spirit stones given by Luo Yangtian were split equally between Xiao Bai and Lin Yaoyao.

Xiao Bai used Erha as a pillow, lying on the spirit stones, absorbing their spiritual energy, very comfortably.

Ye Kong flicked his fishing rod, and a ball of demonic energy appeared on the hook.

The demonic energy ball had a cyan-green halo on the outside and was a pitch-black sphere inside, very beautiful.

As soon as Xiao Bai saw the demonic energy ball, he was instantly attracted by its rich aura.

Demonic energy!

Dense demonic energy!

There was light in Xiao Bai's eyes. The demonic energy ball contained very dense demonic energy.

It was exactly the demonic energy he needed.

If he swallowed it, he could instantly break through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

Where did Master get the demonic energy ball from?

Probably picked it up. Refining demonic energy into a small ball requires not only sufficient strength but also demonic energy.

Master is only at the Qi training stage, so it's impossible for him to have the strength to refine demonic energy into a ball, and he has no source of demonic energy.

Xiao Bai looked at the demonic energy ball and licked his lips.

I have to think of a way to swallow the demonic energy ball.

Master uses it as bait, so I'll wait for Master to leave and then secretly swallow the demonic energy ball.

Then I'll throw the fishing rod into the Sea of Bitterness and blame it on the fish.

Yes, that's what I'll do!

Xiao Bai looked at the demonic energy ball on the fishing hook, getting more and more greedy.

Lin Yaoyao also saw the round bead on the fishing hook, but didn't pay much attention to it, but when she saw Xiao Bai staring at the round ball, she took notice.

Xiao Bai is still a child and likes to play with round beads.

Hmm... I have an idea.

Lin Yaoyao covered her face and smiled, also looking at the round bead.

Ye Kong didn't know that Lin Yaoyao and Xiao Bai were both eyeing his demonic energy ball. At the moment, he was thinking about the third competition tomorrow.

The third competition will be held within the sect.

At that time, it will be incredibly grand and also very intense.

There are only fifty or so Demonic Sect disciples left now.

A thousand came, and more than nine hundred were lost.

Either dead or injured.

Very miserable.

Ye Kong sat by the Sea of Bitterness for a while, put down his fishing rod, and said to his two disciples, "You should go back to rest early. You still have to participate in the final competition tomorrow."

"The final competition will be the most intense one."

"Yes." Xiao Bai and Lin Yaoyao nodded heavily, hoping that their master would leave sooner.

Ye Kong got up, put his hands behind his back, and returned to逍遥阁 (Xiaoyao Pavilion).

As soon as he pushed open the door, several demonic energy balls rolled out.

"Xu Bubai really has a lot of demonic energy," Ye Kong said, shaking his head, and kicked the demonic energy balls into the corner.

Inside the room, there were still many piled up on the ground.

These demonic energy balls can't be buried underground, otherwise, if they leak, they will cause large-scale pollution.

Ye Kong had no choice but to use them to feed the fish.

By the Sea of Bitterness,

Xiao Bai didn't dare to take the demonic energy ball because he saw that his senior sister hadn't left yet.

"Senior Sister, aren't you leaving yet?" Xiao Bai turned his head to look at his senior sister and asked.

"No rush, I'll sit for a while longer," Lin Yaoyao said calmly.

Do you think I don't know you? As soon as I leave, you'll take the round ball.

I'm waiting for you to leave so I can take the round ball.

Then sell it to you.

Seeing that his senior sister wasn't leaving, Xiao Bai could only ride Erha and take the first step.

After his senior sister left, he would come back to take the demonic energy ball.

Lin Yaoyao, watching Xiao Bai walk away, took the demonic energy ball.

"This round ball is quite beautiful," Lin Yaoyao said with a smile, holding the round ball and walking away.

Just as he returned to Peach Mountain, Xiao Bai quickly found a place to hide when he saw his senior sister return.

But when Lin Yaoyao came back, she saw Erha's tail sticking out.

"Xiao Bai," Lin Yaoyao called out.

Xiao Bai, hearing his senior sister call him, crouched down even lower.

"Stop hiding, your Erha's tail is sticking up," Lin Yaoyao said.

Xiao Bai, hearing these words, turned his head to look at the Erha next to him, seeing that Erha's tail was sticking up very high.

"Erha, I'll teach you a lesson when we get back," Xiao Bai said unhappily, walking out from behind the small mound.

"Senior Sister," Xiao Bai said with a smile.

Lin Yaoyao directly took out the round ball and waved it in front of Xiao Bai. Xiao Bai's eyes followed the movement of the round ball.

"Do you want it or not?"

"Want," Xiao Bai nodded without hesitation.

"Give me your spirit stones, and I'll give it to you, Senior Sister," Lin Yaoyao said, reaching out her hand.

Hearing this, Xiao Bai quickly covered his spirit stones.

"Senior Sister, I don't have much left," Xiao Bai said weakly.

"Senior Sister wants to form her Golden Core. I'm afraid there aren't enough spirit stones. Give yours to me, and I'll return all the remaining spirit stones to you later, Senior Sister," Lin Yaoyao said truthfully.

"Can I refuse?" Xiao Bai asked weakly.

"What do you think?"

Xiao Bai was speechless and obediently handed over his spirit stones.

"Here, this round ball is for you. After Senior Sister forms her core, I'll protect you in the future."

Lin Yaoyao threw the round ball to Xiao Bai and left with Xiao Bai's spirit stones.

Xiao Bai stood there stunned, clutching the demonic energy ball, his heart aching.

What a loss!
