Chapter 202
"What did you do with him?"
Lin Bai suddenly remembered that Wei Xiang'an had returned, but he didn't know how the other had dealt with the youth, so he hurriedly looked at Wei Xiang'an.
"I handed him over to the Profound Heaven Sect's Sect Master and Great Elder. After all, he was the one who caused the sect to be destroyed."
"So as for whether he lives or dies, I left it to them to decide."
Hearing Lin Bai's words, Wei Xiang'an answered hurriedly.
"Hmm, you handled that well."
Lin Bai nodded and stopped worrying about the matter.
"Lin Bai, you're leaving in such a hurry? Why not stay for a few more days?"
"After the sect is rebuilt, you can tell these Junior Brothers more about your experiences."
"After all, everyone likes you quite a bit."
The Sect Master looked at Lin Bai, who was about to leave, with reluctance and hurriedly tried to persuade him to stay.
"Sect Master, I have some things to attend to when I return this time."
"The four people invited by the other side were definitely not ordinary, so I urgently need to go back and verify."
"And I seriously suspect that these people might be targeting me."
"I must find out who they are and resolve them all."
Lin Bai declined the Sect Master's kindness; after all, there were more important things he needed to do.
"I see. That's fine, but do be careful on your way back."
"If you have time, come back to visit the sect. This will always be your home."
The Sect Master nodded after hearing Lin Bai's words and stopped insisting.
"Rest assured, if I have no business in the future, I will definitely come back to visit often."
"You and the Great Elder, take care."
Lin Bai nodded and bowed, then took Wei Xiang'an and Wang Wang Yuping and left the spot.
The Sect Master and the Great Elder watched Lin Bai leave with extreme reluctance, but it was like a child growing up and leaving their mother's embrace; they watched him leave with their own eyes.
"What are you doing? Why are you crying?"
As they left, Lin Bai suddenly noticed that Wei Xiang'an beside him was sobbing.
Lin Bai was curious and hurriedly looked toward him.
Even Wang Wang Yuping stared at him with confusion.
The other had always been a bully; making him cry was truly very difficult.
"I'm just too moved."
"Senior Brother, your relationship with the people of the Profound Heaven Sect is really good. Look at how reluctant the Sect Master and the Elder were when you left; it makes my heart ache."
Wei Xiang'an wiped away his tears, staring at Lin Bai with teary eyes, looking quite pitiful.
"No need for that, no need for that."
Lin Bai felt helpless after hearing this.
He didn't feel anything special, yet it had moved the other to tears.
"Senior Brother, you don't understand. I never had such treatment in my original sect."
"I remember once when I went back, they almost treated me like a plague god. Since then, I haven't gone back."
"I guess even if I leave the Beginningless Land now, no one would ask me to come back often."
Wei Xiang'an looked at Lin Bai, sobbing as he responded.
"That's because you brought it on yourself. You always bullied those Junior Brothers."
"Everyone wished they could send you, the plague god, away as quickly as possible. Don't you know why?"
"Those who used to suck up to you were just afraid of you."
"Friendship gained that way is never long-lasting."
Wang Wang Yuping exposed Wei Xiang'an without hesitation; after all, he was speaking the truth.
Just by looking at how domineering Wei Xiang'an was in the Beginningless Land, one could tell what he was like in his original sect.
Even if some people were willing to follow him now, how many were sincere?
They were all just sucking up to him, afraid of his tyranny. If something really happened, they would probably run faster than anyone else.
"I... I know now. I'll change when I get back."
"I promise to learn from you, Senior Brother, and I will never be like that again."
Wei Xiang'an nodded and answered excitedly.
It was as if he had made some incredible decision in his heart.
"As long as you're happy."
Lin Bai nodded, feeling helpless, and the group headed back toward the Beginningless Land.
"Sigh, those two kids have been gone for so long and haven't returned. I wonder how they are doing."
Feng Feng Yunzheng had been melancholy on Azure Phoenix Peak for the past few days, worrying about Wang Wang Yuping and Lin Bai.
Because of this, he had no appetite and found nothing tasted good.
Although Lin Bai had caused him no shortage of trouble since he arrived, the fact that the kid was gone made him feel a bit bored.
"Master, Master, Senior Brother and the others are back!"
Just then, a disciple ran back excitedly, looking at Feng Feng Yunzheng with a smile.
"They're really back?"
Hearing the disciple's words, Feng Feng Yunzheng stood up from his chair immediately, looking excited.
"Yes, they're back. They've already entered the sect."
"They're heading back to Azure Phoenix Peak right now."
The disciple nodded, very certain.
"Alright, alright, I know."
Feng Feng Yunzheng lost his melancholy look and replaced it with a smile, letting out a long sigh of relief.
"Senior Brother, you two go back to Azure Phoenix Peak. I should go back to see my Master; I reckon he's angry right now."
"I have to go back and coax him, otherwise I'll be in big trouble."
Upon returning to the Beginningless Land, Wei Xiang'an said goodbye to Lin Bai and the others. He had already anticipated that Lu Duan would inevitably punish him upon his return. He had to go back quickly to admit his mistake and say some nice things so his Master wouldn't hold it against him.
"Hmm, go back. Thank you this time."
Lin Bai nodded and expressed his thanks.
"Senior Brother, look at you being so polite. Didn't we say we don't need to be so formal in the future?"
Wei Xiang'an turned and returned to Green Mountain Peak.
"Senior Brother, let's go back too."
Seeing Wei Xiang'an had gone far, Wang Wang Yuping reminded him.
Lin Bai nodded, and the two flew back to Azure Phoenix Peak.
"Senior Brother, hello."
"Senior Brother, hello."
After Lin Bai and the others landed on Azure Phoenix Peak, they found the disciples greeting them very enthusiastically. After responding to them one by one, they headed toward Feng Feng Yunzheng's cave dwelling.
"Master, we're back."
When Lin Bai arrived at Feng Feng Yunzheng's cave, Feng Feng Yunzheng was sitting on his chair, dozing.
Only after hearing their voices did he slowly open his eyes.
However, he had only closed his eyes after hearing their footsteps; as a dignified Master, he couldn't show too much excitement in front of his disciples.
"You're back. How did the matter go? Is the Profound Heaven Sect alright?"
Feng Feng Yunzheng opened his eyes after hearing their voices.
"Yes, it's resolved. But Master, there is one thing I would like to ask you about."
Lin Bai nodded, a serious expression appearing on his face.
