A Visit to Apologize

Yun Ming's gaze involuntarily drifted towards Bai Yushan.

His eyes were filled with resentment.

It's like a child whose favorite toy has been taken away.

Bai Yushan naturally sensed Yun Ming's resentful gaze.

He raised his head and looked at the legendary number one person in the world.

She blinked.

Then, he revealed a blond-haired grin.

That smile was incredibly irritating.

Then, he reached out and pulled Na'er into his arms.

"Yes, yes, I haven't seen Na'er in so long."

He chuckled, burying his face in Na'er's silver hair and taking a deep breath.

"Give me a hug!"

Na'er blushed instantly as he held her in his arms.

Her little hands gripped Bai Yushan's clothes tightly, her head buried in his chest, even her ears were bright red.

But she didn't struggle.

Instead, she hugged Bai Yushan even tighter.

It's been over a year.

She finally saw her brother Xiaoshan again.

I'm so happy.

I'm so happy.

Yun Ming looked at the two embracing each other, and his lips twitched.

His fists clenched unconsciously.

This kid...

Was it intentional?!

It was absolutely intentional!

Hug his apprentice right in front of him!

This is a provocation!

A blatant provocation!

Leng Yaozhu stood to the side, watching this scene, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Seeing Yun Ming's discomfiture, she felt a surge of satisfaction.

That'll teach you to pretend to be calm.

Now you know what it's like to feel bad, right?

Serves you right!

Gu Yue couldn't help but smile.

Looking at Bai Yushan and Na'er embracing each other, she felt a strange pang of sadness in her heart.

However, she quickly suppressed these emotions.

She walked over to Bai Yushan and patted him on the shoulder.

"Alright, stop hugging. If you keep doing that, someone's eyes will start blazing with anger."

She spoke meaningfully, glancing at Yun Ming.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yushan raised his head and looked at Yun Ming.

Sure enough, the gaze of this number one person on the mainland had become somewhat dangerous.

There seemed to be lightning flashing in his eyes.

Bai Yushan chuckled awkwardly and released Na'er.

However, his hand remained on Na'er's shoulder, as if asserting his dominance.

Na'er crawled out of his arms, her little face flushed, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at Yun Ming.

She knew that her actions might have displeased the teacher.

But she just couldn't help it.

She hadn't seen Xiaoshan for a long time, and she really missed him.

Yun Ming took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his displeasure.

He looked at Na'er, trying to soften his tone.

"Na'er, who is this...?"

His gaze fell on Bai Yushan.

Although I already know from Leng Yaozhu that this young man is from the Spirit Pagoda.

But he still wanted to get an answer from Na'er.

Na'er raised her head, looked at Bai Yushan, and then at Yun Ming.

Then, she introduced softly, "Master, this is Brother Xiaoshan, Bai Yushan."

"He... he's the most important person to me."

She said it very softly.

Yet it reached everyone's ears clearly.

Yun Ming's lips twitched again.

A very important person?!

This child is so young, and already knows what the most important person is?!

He looked at Bai Yushan, his eyes filled with even more resentment.

What kind of bewitching potion did this kid give Na'er?!

Leng Yaozhu, standing to the side, laughed even more heartily.

Seeing Yun Ming's discomfiture made her feel great.

This trip was worthwhile.

Not only did he witness his students' outstanding performance, but he also saw the first person from mainland China suffer a setback.

This is a truly rare sight.

Bai Yushan looked at Yun Ming, then smiled and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

"Greetings, Yun Ming."

His attitude appeared respectful.

But the nonchalance and unruliness in his eyes were impossible to hide.

Facing the number one person on the mainland, he showed no nervousness or fear whatsoever.

It's like facing an ordinary elder.

This composure intensified Yun Ming's desire to investigate.

Yun Ming nodded in response.

Then, he looked at Leng Yaozhu.

"Deputy Pagoda Master Leng, let's leave it at that for today."

His tone was calm, revealing no emotion.

"Children's friendly competition should stop short of a full-blown exchange."

Leng Yaozhu raised an eyebrow.

"A friendly exchange?"

She smiled, a hint of mockery flashing in her crimson-gold eyes.

"Sect Master Yun, you call this a friendly sparring match?"

"Your student, Five-Ring Soul King, activated his One-Word Battle Armor and tried to kill my student."

"If this is a friendly spar, then what truly constitutes a life-or-death struggle?"

Yun Ming fell silent.

He knew that Liang Chuan was indeed in the wrong in this matter.

They bullied the weak, even activated their Battle Armor, and still lost in the end.

Shrek has truly lost face.

However, as the head of Shrek, he couldn't very well admit that his student was wrong in front of so many people, could he?

That would be too degrading.

"Deputy Pagoda Master Leng, Liang Chuan has already learned his lesson."

Yun Ming spoke slowly.

"Let's just leave it at that."

"I will personally visit Deputy Pagoda Master Leng another day to apologize."

This statement already gave Leng Yaozhu face.

The first person from mainland China to personally visit and apologize.

If word gets out, it will be enough to elevate Leng Yaozhu's status within the Spirit Pagoda to an even higher level.

Upon hearing this, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Leng Yaozhu's eyes.

She knew when to stop while she was ahead.

For Yun Ming to say such things today is already a huge victory.

Continuing to dwell on it will only make things worse.

"You flatter me, Pavilion Master Yun."

Leng Yaozhu smiled, her tone softening slightly.

"It's not appropriate for us elders to interfere too much in the affairs between children."

"Since Pavilion Master Yun has said so, let's just let this matter rest."

Yun Ming nodded.

This matter is now considered closed.

However, his gaze remained fixed on Bai Yushan.

The probing intent in those calm, deep eyes grew stronger.

He remembered this boy.

Spirit Pagoda, Bai Yushan.

Yun Ming silently repeated the name in his mind.

He looked at the unruly and carefree boy in front of him, his gaze filled with increasing curiosity.

Who exactly is this young man?

When did such a monster appear in the Spirit Pagoda?

Just as Yun Ming was pondering to himself...

A figure floated gracefully to his side.

It was a woman.

She has a beautiful face, looks clean and elegant, and is full of vitality.

Her long, dark green hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall, shimmering faintly in the afterglow of the setting sun.

She had a slender figure and inner beauty, and wore a plain white dress with faint angel patterns embroidered on the hem, which fluttered gently in the breeze.

His face wore a gentle smile, a smile as refreshing as a spring breeze, bringing a sense of peace to those who saw it.

Ya Li.

He was given the title of Holy Spirit.

Undisputed number one healing-type Soul Master.

Deputy Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion, Dean of the Inner Court.

She is hailed as the kindest and most beautiful woman in the entire mainland.

Her appearance instantly eased the tense atmosphere.

That gentle, jade-like temperament seems to be able to melt away all coldness and hostility.
