Jin Ping'er's Fragrance, Bai Ye Shocks Dazhu Peak!

Jin Ping'er's Fragrance, Bai Ye Shocks Dazhu Peak!

After the many peak masters had departed.

Only Tian Buyi, Bai Ye, and Song Daren remained on Tongtian Peak.

"Good lad, I never expected you to return so soon. It seems this journey has brought you quite a few gains!"

Tian Buyi smiled faintly as he looked at Bai Ye.

From Bai Ye's bearing alone, Tian Buyi could tell that he was different from before.

That aura was completely unlike how he had been within the Qingyun Sect. At the same time, a faint, barely perceptible killing intent seemed to seep from Bai Ye's body.

It was the kind of killing intent only possessed by someone who had killed before!

Although Bai Ye had been quite capable in the past, he had never left the Qingyun Sect, so naturally he had never had the chance to contend with the Demonic Path. Yet now, when master and disciple met again, Tian Buyi could clearly sense that his disciple's bearing had changed.

This was the murderous aura that only those who roamed the martial world could possess!

"Master, this journey truly gave your disciple many realizations, and I witnessed many matters of the martial world as well," Bai Ye replied with a smile.

"Good! Good! Good!"

"Let's head back first. During the days you were gone, your mistress kept mentioning you. She was afraid something might happen to you."

Upon hearing this, Tian Buyi cried out "good" three times in succession and burst into hearty laughter.

The three flew swiftly all the way back to Dazhu Peak.

News of Bai Ye's return quickly spread throughout Dazhu Peak.

The senior brothers of Dazhu Peak were all overjoyed. They began chatting at once, every word filled with concern for Bai Ye.

After all, Bai Ye was the most gifted disciple of Dazhu Peak, and the source of Dazhu Peak's confidence when facing the other branches.

Though Dazhu Peak had fewer than ten disciples, Bai Ye alone was enough to make many Qingyun Sect disciples feel a despair they could never hope to overcome.

At the evening banquet, the disciples of Dazhu Peak gathered once more.

This banquet was clearly far more lavish than their usual meals, making Du Bishu and the others swallow repeatedly.

Of course, they knew that they could enjoy such a feast today thanks to their junior brother.

"Hmph!"

"Drunkard Senior Brother, you came back so quickly, and you even smell like a woman. You didn't go to one of those places, did you?"

Tian Ling'er was sharp beyond her years. Sitting beside Bai Ye, she suddenly caught a woman's fragrance on him. Her eyes darted as she spoke.

The moment those words fell, Song Daren and the other senior brothers all widened their eyes.

Even Bai Ye was stunned. He could not help sniffing himself, but he did not seem to smell any fragrance at all?!

"It is the scent of the Snow Mountain Heavenly Lotus. This kind of heavenly lotus grows atop the peaks of the Tianshan Mountains. Its fragrance is pure, with a cool scent."

At that moment, Su Ru, seated at the head of the table, smiled and said, "Sachets made from this Snow Mountain Heavenly Lotus leave a unique fragrance on one's body. Ordinary people cannot detect it."

"Little Ye, it seems you have been doing rather well during your time away?"

"A woman able to use a sachet made from such Snow Mountain Heavenly Lotus is no ordinary woman."

As soon as she said this, Song Daren looked at Bai Ye with even greater anticipation and secretly gave him a thumbs-up.

As expected of their junior brother. He had only been out for such a short time, yet he had already caught the eye of a woman from the martial world.

Impressive!

Only after hearing Mistress Su Ru did Bai Ye suddenly realize that this was clearly the fragrance of that woman, Jin Ping'er.

No way!

They had only exchanged a few words, yet her fragrance had lingered on him long enough for them to smell it.

Did all these women have noses like hounds?!

"Little Ye, while I do not interfere with your private life, as a Qingyun disciple, you must not fool around with men and women and bring shame upon the Qingyun Sect."

Tian Buyi's expression also became slightly stern.

"Master, this was just an accident!"

Bai Ye could only smile bitterly.

He had not expected that merely teasing Jin Ping'er on a whim would cause such trouble.

"Hmph! Drunkard Senior Brother, you big pervert. Let's see how you explain this to that Bingbing Senior Sister from Xiaozhu Peak!" Tian Ling'er continued to stir the pot.

"Bingbing Senior Sister?!"

Bai Ye was suddenly taken aback.

When had there been a Bingbing Senior Sister?!

"What Bingbing Senior Sister? Lu Xueqi may indeed be a little cold, but you cannot call people that."

Su Ru instead began lecturing Tian Ling'er.

Bai Ye looked at the precocious Tian Ling'er and said with a straight face, "Little Ling'er, don't bark nonsense. There is nothing between Junior Sister Lu Xueqi and me."

"Nothing, you say?!"

"Not long ago, this Senior Sister Lu even came to Dazhu Peak looking for you. She only left after learning that you had gone out to train."

Tian Ling'er stuck out her tongue, clearly unconvinced.

Then Song Daren and the others took turns explaining what had happened.

In short, Junior Sister Lu Xueqi had indeed come looking for him. As for why, they did not know.

After learning Bai Ye was absent, she had immediately left.

Why had she come looking for me?!

Bai Ye could make neither head nor tail of it.

"Enough. Those are your own affairs, and I do not wish to meddle."

"Tell us what happened during your travels. Your bearing has changed quite a bit."

Tian Buyi looked at Bai Ye, a glint flashing in his eyes.

The other brothers and sisters also showed anticipation in their eyes.

Bai Ye then began recounting most of what he had seen and experienced during his journey. Naturally, he concealed the assassination attempt by the Myriad Poisons Sect, as well as what he had done in the Myriad Poisons Sect.

If he told them about that, he would probably earn another fierce beating from his master.

By the time Bai Ye spoke of entering the Ten Thousand Bat Cave and obtaining the inheritance of Old Man Blackheart from eight hundred years ago, Tian Buyi and Su Ru, along with all the senior brothers present, were dumbfounded.

"Little Ye, are you saying that you obtained Old Man Blackheart's inheritance in the Ten Thousand Bat Cave?"

"And even acquired a Strange Treasure of the Demonic Path, the Joyful Union Bell?!"

Tian Buyi stared at Bai Ye in utter shock.

"Yes, Master."

"Deep beneath the Ten Thousand Bat Cave, below the Abyss of the Dead, I obtained Old Man Blackheart's inheritance. I acquired the general outline of the first volume of the Heavenly Book, as well as the Joyful Union Sect's supreme treasure, the Joyful Union Bell."

Bai Ye answered.

"Old Man Blackheart's inheritance!"

"Ever since the Blood Refining Hall declined, countless people from both the righteous and demonic factions have entered the Ten Thousand Bat Cave in search of what Old Man Blackheart left behind, yet they found not the slightest clue."

"Who would have thought that you would obtain Old Man Blackheart's inheritance on this journey?"

Tian Buyi's face was filled with astonishment.

The Heavenly Book!

This was the legendary Heavenly Book, the origin of all cultivation arts under heaven. It was said that Old Man Blackheart possessed such immense power only because of the Heavenly Book's aid.

It was even said that the Qingyun Sect's Taiji Xuanqing Dao had been comprehended from the Heavenly Book.

"Master, I have already memorized the first volume of the Heavenly Book."

"If Master needs it, this disciple can pass the Heavenly Book on to you at any time."

Bai Ye continued as he looked at Tian Buyi.

Tian Buyi fell silent upon hearing this. Only after a long while did he raise his head and look at Bai Ye. "Do not mention the Heavenly Book to anyone. It is a legendary treasure that countless people of both the righteous and demonic factions desire."

"That you obtained it is your own fortunate opportunity."

"As for your master, if I ever need it, I will have you give me the Heavenly Book."

After speaking, Tian Buyi looked toward Song Daren and the others. In an incomparably stern tone, he ordered them never to reveal the news of the Heavenly Book. Anyone who did so would be punished according to sect rules.

Song Daren and the others naturally understood the gravity of the matter and nodded again and again. Even Tian Ling'er received a severe warning, and her smiling face turned serious.

Though she was sharp beyond her years, she still knew the importance of this matter.
