Cang Song: Bai Ye Must Die!

Dazhu Peak.

Another dinner banquet.

But today, Dazhu Peak had one more person: Zhang Xiaofan.

From today onward, Dazhu Peak had increased to eight disciples. Including Tian Ling'er, there were nine in total.

"Disciple Zhang Xiaofan greets Master, Mistress, and all Senior Brothers."

Though Zhang Xiaofan was somewhat dull-witted, he still understood the importance of respecting his master and elders. He respectfully bowed to Tian Buyi and his wife, as well as Song Daren and the others.

"Junior Brother Xiao Fan, no need for such formalities. There aren't many of us on Dazhu Peak, and we don't stand on so much ceremony."

"My name is Song Daren, your Senior Brother of Dazhu Peak. This is Wu Dayi, Zheng Dali, He Dazhi, Lu Daxin, Du Bishu, and this is your Seventh Senior Brother, Bai Ye."

Song Daren smiled honestly as he introduced the people of Dazhu Peak to Zhang Xiaofan.

"And me!"

"I'm your Senior Sister, Tian Ling'er. From today on, you can call me Senior Sister Tian."

Tian Ling'er popped out at that moment, staring at Zhang Xiaofan with a precocious look. "From today onward, your Senior Sister on Dazhu Peak will look after you. No one will dare bully you."

"Thank you, Senior Sister Tian."

Seeing Tian Ling'er's face, Zhang Xiaofan could not help blushing slightly.

"Junior Brother Xiao Fan, you're blushing!"

"That's so interesting!"

Seeing Zhang Xiaofan's face turn red, Tian Ling'er found it even more amusing and burst out laughing.

Bai Ye shook his head with a smile. "You're going to look after him? Little Ling'er, with that tiny bit of strength, who can you possibly look after?"

"Hmph!"

"Drunken Senior Brother, don't get smug. I'll definitely catch up to you!"

At those words, Tian Ling'er's delighted smile froze. She snorted, unwilling to pay any attention to this drunken Senior Brother.

This drunken Senior Brother was too hateful!

If she had been strong enough, she definitely would have taught him a lesson.

Looking at Bai Ye, Zhang Xiaofan's heart stirred slightly.

Back on Tongtian Peak, he had understood clearly that if this Senior Brother Bai Ye had not spoken up for him, he might not have been able to join Dazhu Peak at all.

Thus, Zhang Xiaofan had quite a favorable impression of Bai Ye.

"Junior Brother Xiao Fan, although your Senior Brother Bai Ye is only ranked seventh, his strength is the greatest among all the disciples of Dazhu Peak. If you have any problems with cultivation in the future, you can seek him out."

Song Daren spoke again.

Zhang Xiaofan was slightly taken aback. He looked at Bai Ye respectfully. "Zhang Xiaofan greets Senior Brother Bai Ye."

Zhang Xiaofan had not expected this Seventh Senior Brother to be the strongest person on Dazhu Peak.

"Junior Brother Xiao Fan, no need for formalities. I'm only a little stronger than the other Senior Brothers."

"If you encounter any difficulties in the future, feel free to ask me anytime. I may not have much else, but I have plenty of time."

Bai Ye smiled faintly.

Tian Ling'er puffed out her cheeks again. "Of course you have plenty of time. All you do every day is drink. You even flirted with respectable women when you went out. Junior Brother Xiao Fan, just follow me from now on. Don't get too close to this drunken Senior Brother."

"Little Ling'er, if you keep slandering me, I'll spread the story about how you wet your pants on me when you were little." Bai Ye instantly flew into "rage" and threatened her viciously.

As soon as those words came out, Tian Ling'er's little face turned bright red. She pointed at Bai Ye with a small hand, too embarrassed to say a word.

At once, Tian Buyi and his wife, along with Song Daren and the other disciples, erupted into laughter.

The dinner banquet passed amid their laughter and horseplay.

After accepting Zhang Xiaofan's tea of discipleship, Tian Buyi formally took him in as a disciple and passed the Taiji Xuanqing Dao on to him.

After the banquet, Tian Buyi arranged for Song Daren and the others to teach Zhang Xiaofan, while keeping Bai Ye behind.

Inside Shouxin Hall.

"Little Ye, you seem to have high expectations for Zhang Xiaofan?" Tian Buyi asked as he looked at Bai Ye's lazy, utterly unrestrained posture. He did not mind it in the least.

Bai Ye shook his head slightly. "Master, I merely feel that for some people, aptitude is not the absolute measure of cultivation."

Tian Buyi did not ask further. Aptitude truly was not the most important factor in cultivation. After all, his own talent for cultivation had not been especially high, yet he had still reached his current achievements.

"Master, what you wanted to ask about probably wasn't Zhang Xiaofan, but what I said in the main hall today, right?"

Bai Ye smiled faintly at Tian Buyi.

"It's good that you know!"

Tian Buyi's expression remained unchanged, though he seemed somewhat displeased. "You spoke so recklessly in the main hall today. You practically pointed at Sect Leader's nose and said that Qingyun Sect had a Demonic Cult traitor."

"You not only slapped Sect Leader's face, but also made all the peak masters and elders begin to suspect one another."

Yet Bai Ye still wore a smile. "I don't think Sect Leader was particularly angry either. He only had me offer a stick of incense at the Ancestral Hall."

"You have someone in mind?"

Tian Buyi stared at Bai Ye and slowly asked.

"No!"

"However, Master, the massacre at Caomiao Village was not committed by anyone from Qingyun Sect."

Bai Ye spoke directly to Tian Buyi.

At those words.

Tian Buyi let out a breath of relief.

It was good that it was not them!

"Keep a lower profile for a while!"

"You caused such a huge incident the moment you came back. Qingyun Sect may become rather unsettled in the days ahead."

"If something like this happens again, remember to discuss it with your master first, so I can be prepared."

Tian Buyi's expression eased considerably. Then he looked at Bai Ye with a trace of expectation in his eyes. "Dazhu Peak will have to rely on you in the future."

"Don't worry, Master. I understand."

Bai Ye understood what Tian Buyi meant.

If Tian Buyi were the one to raise such matters, it would clearly be better than having him, a disciple, speak up.

Elsewhere.

Longshou Peak.

Inside a secluded hall, the face of Daoist Cang Song, the chief of Longshou Peak, was frighteningly grim. Endless killing intent radiated from his eyes. "Bastard!"

"Could that beast have discovered it?!"

Bai Ye's words today had truly given Cang Song quite a shock.

That fellow had directly said Qingyun Sect had a traitor.

Though he had not named anyone, there were not many people in all of Qingyun Sect qualified to cultivate the Divine Sword Lightning Control True Art, much less those who had successfully mastered it.

"That's impossible... There's no way that fellow discovered it was me. I concealed my aura when I used the Divine Sword Lightning Control True Art, so it was impossible for anyone to detect it."

"Could that fellow truly sense the lightning aura of the Divine Sword Lightning Control True Art?"

Cang Song's expression was incomparably grave. After a moment, a trace of killing intent appeared on his face.

"No matter what he has discovered, this Bai Ye cannot be allowed to live."

"That fellow must die!"
