Bai Tu was so angry that his chest hurt.

How could he have never imagined that the young disciple who was so well-behaved and considerate in front of himself would look like this in front of outsiders? If it wasn’t for the fact that he was still hiding his identity, he would have hated to-

Just then, Yun Ye suddenly reached out and pushed him.

Bai Tu was unprepared and stumbled backward a bit. Afterward, something flew across the room right in front of his eyes, deeply into the trunk of a tree.

It was a sharp bamboo arrow.

Bai Tu instantly realized that they had stepped into a trap in the Primordial Secret Realm.

In an instant, more bamboo poles shot out from all around the forest. Bai Tu naturally wouldn’t take this kind of small trap in his eyes, he was about to avoid it, but Yun Ye dashed out and pulled Bai Tu’s arm to pull him away.

Behind the two of them, a row of bamboo arrows pierced into the ground.

Avoiding a wave of traps, Yun Ye let go of Bai Tu and said in a faint voice. “Be careful, little fool.”

He was not allowed to call him that!

Bai Tu’s ears turned red with anger as he glared fiercely at Yun Ye ang ignored his words. Meanwhile, Yun Ye was looking at him full of interest as he thought that this person’s puffing appearance was particularly cute, and could not help but tease him. “How scared are you, that you can’t even say a word?”

Bai Tu: “……”

Just you wait!

Bai Tu closed his eyes and forced himself to calm down, then patiently said. “This place is dangerous, we’d better go back first ……”

The corner of Yun Ye’s mouth hooked up an arc, but it did not reach his eyes. “Why should I listen to you?”

“You–”

Without waiting for Bai Tu to finish, Yun Ye suddenly took a big step forward and walked towards the deeper part of the woods, leaving him with only his shadow.

This person-!

Bai Tu stomped his foot in exasperation before chasing after him.

“Why don’t you let people finish what they’re saying?

Yun Ye didn’t look back. “Why are you such a nagging person?”

“How am I nagging, you’re the one who ignored me first!”

Yun Ye’s footsteps lurched, Bai Tu was unprepared and hit the other party’s solid back.

Bai Tu rubbed his head, Yun Ye turned his head with coldness in his eyes. “I’ll be straight with you, I don’t have the time to fool around with you right now, so ……”

“Scram.”

After saying that, he also ignored Bai Tu’s reaction and continued to walk forward.

Bai Tu was dumbfounded for a moment, wanting to open his mouth to call out to him, but did not know what to say, and could only watch as that person’s back disappeared into the thick fog.

Bai Tu let out a shallow sigh and was about to walk forward when he suddenly felt a throbbing pain in his abdomen.

The pain was not obvious, like someone holding a small hammer and gently knocking, but this was a little strange for Bai Tu.

He had long since left his mortal body and transformed into an immortal body, eliminating common illnesses and pains, so how could he suddenly have abdominal pain?

Bai Tu’s palm condensed some spiritual power and was about to probe a bit when shallow footsteps came from the front and a figure walked to him.

Bai Tu looked up and saw Yun Ye’s gloomy face, condescending as he look at him. “I told you to leave me alone, why are you still here?”

…what’s up with this guy, does his family own these woods?

“I…”

“You wouldn’t be afraid to walk this stretch of road, would you?” Yun Ye clasped his arms as he looked at him with an “I’ve seen through you” look.

Bai Tu: “……”

He doesn’t know how many time today, but Bai Tu sincerely regretted why he didn’t strangle this wolf cub in the swamp when he first met him back then.

Bai Tu could only silently recited a few times, this was the cub he raised, so he has to endure even if he was rebellious, before he patiently said. “I will leave now.”

When Bai Tu turned to leave, Yun Ye suddenly opened his mouth. “Wait.”

“What…is it again?” Bai Tu gently grinds his teeth as he asked in a low voice.

Yun Ye impatiently said, “If you’re afraid, just say it, what are you pretending. I’ll send you back, so as not to turn around and blame me when you’re out.”

Bai Tu: “…”

At the very least, Yun Ye finally agreed to travel with Bai Tu. The two of them returned along the way they came but when they returned to the clearing where they first entered the Primordial Secret Realm there was no sign of anyone.

Yun Ye turned his head to Bai Tu and said. “Something’s not quite right, watch out for yourself.”

Bai Tu agreed and looked around. Immediately, his eyes lit up and he quickly walked to a tree. “Look here.”

Yun Ye walked over, and there he saw three deep grooves on the trunk of the tree, it was likely caused by a sharp claws of some giant beast.

Yun Ye said. “Scratch marks of a demonic beast.”

Bai Tu nodded. “Not bad.”

As soon as his words fell, some slight rattling came from the woods not far away.

Bai Tu and Yun Ye exchanged glances and quickly walked forward.

Within the grass, a new entry disciple was lying on the ground with three long and deep wounds on his back seeping out blood, staining a large portion of his shirt red.

“Save …… save me ……” Seeing the two walking over, that disciple struggled to reach out towards them.

Bai Tu immediately squatted down to help that disciple check his injuries while Yun Ye stood behind him, roughly swept a glance and said. “Can’t be saved, don’t waste your energy.”

After he said this, Bai Tuan also immediately realized that the disciple’s injuries were extremely deep and he had lost a lot of blood, and would soon go back to the starting point.

As soon as that disciple heard this, he was grabbed onto Bai Tu’s sleeve: “No, don’t, save me, I don’t want to leave, I want to enter the Tianyan Sect, I …… want to ……”

The luster in his eyes darkened.

That disciple’s body was flooded with dots of white aura, and after the white aura dissipated, his figure had already disappeared in place.

Death in the secret realm represented the failure of the trial, and disciples who lost their lives in it were only teleported out of the Primordial Secret Realm by the formation without really dying.

This was also the reason why Bai Tu and Yun Ye hadn’t seen a single corpse along the way.

Bai Tu stood up and frowned. “What kind of demonic beast is so powerful that it harmed so many people at once.”

The space within the Primordial Secret Realm territory was extremely large, with each area being different, and when the teleportation array was activated, it would randomly divide the disciples into batches and teleport them to different areas. Just now with them together, the formation teleported over or least twenty to thirty people, and yet in this short moment all were eliminated.

Bai Tu pursed his lips, feeling that there was something odd.

Just now, in that group of people, several of their cultivation levels were not weak, so it made no sense that they could not even defeat a single demonic beast in a joint effort.

Suddenly, the ground around the two of them shook fiercely.

Their faces changed at the same time as a beast’s whine came from the depths of the forest. A spotted white tiger as tall as an adult man jumped out of the bushes, its eyes red as it looked down at the two of them.

The white tiger roared angrily and fiercely pounced towards the two.

A bright sword flashed in the forest, and the longsword behind Yun Ye was sheathed. However, the sword blade that stabbed out straight only cut through the white tiger’s fur, as if it had struck a hard stone wall, making a loud sound.

The white tiger was knocked back a few points by the sword intent, but there was no injury on its body.

Yun Ye let out a “tsk”. “Troublesome.”

He was about to continue moving forward when he saw the little teenager beside him pull something out of his cloth bag and quickly throw it at the white tiger. A formation exploded around the white tiger’s feet, and a light blue boundary wrapped around it like a cage.

Yun Ye asked. “Where did you get these things?”

Bai Tu didn’t bother to explain, just said. “It can’t be trapped for long, let’s go first.”

Yun Ye pondered for a moment, did not say anything else, and followed Bai Tu towards the woods.

The two of them ran to the end of the woods, but in front of them was a cliff. Yun Ye squatted at the edge of the cliff and looked towards the bottom.

Mist covered beneath the cliff, he could also vaguely hear the splash of water.

Yun Ye: “You want to take this road?”

Bai Tu: “……”

Primordial Secret Realm was vast and so big, he only came in once in total, so wasn’t it a normal thing to not be able to find the way?

What’s more, he hadn’t even come to this forest that time!

Bai Tu didn’t want to get into argument with him and said. “That demonic beast isn’t quite right.”

“Naturally, it’s not right.” Yun Ye said. “How can there be such a powerful demonic beast in the Primordial Secret Realm that can kill twenty to thirty people at the same time, and can remain unharmed under my full strength sword.”

“Are you saying that someone has behind it? How is that even possible…”

The corner of Yun Ye’s mouth hooked up. “Why is it impossible?”

Bai Tu: “…”

This was just a trial in the end, even if one died in the secret realm, it was just a matter of teleporting back to the Tianyan Sect, there was no real harm done. What’s worth having someone get their hands dirty here, could it be…..

Recalling what the disciple said just now, Bai Tu suddenly realized something.

Bai Tuan hesitantly said. “They are doing it for…”

Yun Ye: “For Immortal Lord Zhaohua.”

A flicker of mocking laughter appeared in Yun Ye’s eyes as he said. “The Tianyan Sect has announced to the public that Immortal Lord Zhaohua plans to select a new disciple amongs the new entrants. So, this trial is unlikely any before. For those participating, the fewer people who successfully leave the Primordial Secret Realm after seven days, the more advantageous it will be.”

Bai Tu was silent.

The Sect Leader had used the name of Immortal Lord Zhaohua to attract disciples to come, but he hadn’t expected that these people would implode first before they could even get started. Bai Tu could already foresee that seven days later, he was afraid that not too many people would leave the Primordial Secret Realm successfully.

This might be the legendary Stealing the Chicken.

Bai Tu asked. “What are your plans now?”

Yun Ye frowned at him, “I’ve already been benevolent by keeping you around for so long, what, you still want to follow me?”

Following was a must, otherwise what was the point of him coming in?

Bai Tu briefly pondered for a moment, the hand hidden in his sleeve gave a hard pinch to his thigh, then raised a pair of watery eyes towards Yun Ye. When they fell into Yun Ye’s eyes, they took on the appearance of a timid, thin, and pitiable teenager.

Bai Tu’s hands grabbed the small cloth bag in his arms with urgency, and looked at Yun Ye cautiously, “Can’t I follow you?”

Yun Ye lowered his gaze to look into those watery eyes, and for some reason, his heart suddenly floated back to the appearance of his master that he had seen in his dream that day when his heart demon had dominates his body. He was momentarily lost in thought, when the tiger’s roar once again resounded in the woods beside him.

Four or five spotted white tigers walked out from the slow woods, all with fierce looks on their faces. The white tigers walked up to the duo and opened their jaws, revealing incomparably sharp fangs.

Bai Tu: “……”

He tried his best to avoid fighting with the demonic beasts, both because he didn’t feel the need to do so, and because he was worried that Yun Ye would find something out. However, more than anything else, it was more important to let Yun Ye pass through the Primordial Secret Realm smoothly.

Bai Tu’s palm quietly flooded with some spiritual energy, and just then, Yun Ye suddenly grabbed his wrist.

Bai Tu looked back, and the latter said without changing his face. “Hold on to me.”

With that, he threw the long sword in his hand and jumped off the cliff.

……

Below the cliff was a deep pool, the night was already deep, and the firelight inside the cave next to the deep pool was pulsating. Bai Tu knelt beside the fire, wet from head to toe, speechless he looking at Yun Ye who was building a fire on the side.

He was already bad with imperial sword technique and because he was carrying one more person he lost control and fell off the cliff, causing them to fall into the deep pool under the cliff together.

Just how negligent was this person in practicing on weekdays?

Yun Ye picks firewood, steals a glance at the dripping wet Bai Tu, and was rarely a little overjoyed. “Sorry, it’s my first time to carry someone on a sword.”

This wasn’t exactly a lie on his part.

In addition to his previous life, this life, he was indeed unrefined in his cultivation.

This body was now less than the Jindan stage, he has an empty body of gongfu, no cultivation base, as usual, and it was difficult for him to ascend in the next stage.

Bai Tu knew what his disciple’s virtues were as he glanced at his mouth before he lazily ignored him.

Yun Ye picked the firewood, stole a glance at the dripping wet Bai Tu, and whispered. “Sorry, it’s really my first time to carry someone on a sword.”

Bai Tu bristled, not bothering to pay attention to him.

Yun Ye was dissatisfied, “I saved your life, aren’t you going to say thank you?”

“…… Many thanks.”

Yun Ye was satisfied, then remembered something and asked. “You little fool won’t also want to become my master’s disciple, right?”

Bai Tu gritted his teeth and said word by word. “Do. Not. Call. Me. Little. Fool.” “No, to, call, me, little, stupid, goods.”

Yun Ye: “Then what do you call yourself?”

Bai Tu was silent for a moment, “…… Tu Bai.”

Yun Ye “Oh”, added: “Little fool I tell you, my master will not accept other disciples, you can not get what you want.”

Bai Tu: “……”

Bai Tu paused and asked curiously. “How do you know that Immortal Lord Zhaohua will definitely not take on another disciple?”

The rumors of accepting an disciple were single-handedly self-directed by Jun Lingwei, Bai Tu had never put it on his mind, much less mentioned it in front of Yun Ye, and Yun Ye had never asked him about it.

But how was this person convinced that he wouldn’t take on an apprentice?

Yun Ye’s expression became a bit odd, he was silent for a while and said perfunctorily. “In short, he just won’t.”

The night was already deep, and a night breeze blew from the cave entrance, which happened to blow onto Bai Tu. Bai Tu shivered fiercely, only to feel the coldness coming from all around his body.

Moreover, the coldness was getting heavier and heavier. Bai Tu couldn’t help but hug his arms and rubbed them gently, unconsciously curling himself up.

When Yun Ye turned back to look at him, what he saw was this scene.

That pitiable young man was curled up in place, his face pale and shivering imperceptibly.

Yun Ye’s heart inexplicably tightened and asked. “What’s wrong with you?”

Bai Tu’s lips trembled gently. “… Cold.”

Ever since he possessed his immortal body, he had not experienced such a feeling of coldness that sips down to his bone for a long time, he curled his limbs up tightly in an attempt to warm himself up.

But it didn t work at all.

Bai Tu’s consciousness gradually became chaotic, and in a daze, he felt someone approaching him.

The warmth warmed Bai Tu’s body slightly, and he instinctively leaned over and stretched out his arms to hug that heat source tightly.

Yun Ye: “……”

=^_^=

Author has something to say: Yun Ye: I definitely won’t hug anyone else except Master .

Little Fool: Okay I’m coming.
