Chapter 242: Don't you dare have any ideas

Because everyone's mood was exceptionally excited after the first round of matches, they decided to celebrate.

Originally, elders like Feng Feng Yunzheng didn't intend to participate, but they were called over by Lin Bai and the others. In the end, it was a group of old folks sitting there, watching the young people having fun.

Around the bonfire, they were singing and dancing. As for where these novel things came from, they knew it was all Lin Bai's idea.

And the fact was indeed so. Perhaps because Lin Bai's side was too lively, it soon attracted others.

"You all are quite lively. I could see it from my place."

At this moment, Shi You walked over with a smile, accompanied by his own disciples.

"Who is that beside Sect Master Shi?"

Lin Bai frowned and focused his gaze on Wang Wang Yuping.

"Senior Brother, you've been here for so many days, you still don't know?"

"That's Sect Master Shi's disciple, Shi Shi Liuli, who also made it into the Top 30."

Wang Wang Yuping leaned into Lin Bai's ear and whispered.

Only then did Lin Bai take a few more looks at him. Shi Shi Liuli seemed to receive Lin Bai's gaze, looked toward him, and nodded in acknowledgment.

For some reason, when Lin Bai saw Shi Shi Liuli, he wanted to describe him as a "delicate beauty."

But clearly, the person was a man, yet Lin Bai always felt he was like a young lady.

Lin Bai felt he must be crazy. If the other party knew his thoughts, he would surely be angry.

"That Shi... your eyes and nose are quite delicate. Since you're here, sit down."

Feng Feng Yunzheng and the Sect Master were all smiles when they saw Shi You, and they hurriedly made room for him.

"That's good. Shi Shi Liuli, you go sit with those young people. I'll squeeze in with these old folks."

Seeing Shi Shi Liuli intending to follow him, Shi You stopped and pointed toward Lin Bai's direction.

When Shi Shi Liuli looked at Lin Bai, he couldn't help but lower his head.

Lin Bai didn't know if it was his imagination, or if it was the darkness and the flickering flames, but he felt the other's face was slightly flushed.

Lin Bai patted his own head to clear his mind.

"Senior Brother, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Seeing Lin Bai's oddity, Wang Wang Yuping asked with concern.

"I'm fine. Maybe I drank a bit too much wine tonight, so my eyes are playing tricks on me."

Lin Bai blinked, looking innocent.

He didn't forget to glance at Shi Shi Liuli's direction again.

By now, Shi Shi Liuli had already raised his head, and upon discovering Lin Bai looking at him, he quickly hurried over.

"Greetings, Senior Brother Shi Shi Liuli."

Wang Wang Yuping and Wei Xiang'an greeted him with smiles, and Shi Shi Liuli nodded before fixing his gaze on Lin Bai.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Shi Shi Liuli."

Shi Shi Liuli's voice was very pleasant, even melodious.

But Lin Bai still felt that both his appearance and his voice made him seem like a woman.

However, Lin Bai soon understood—perhaps the person was just born that way, and his voice was naturally like that.

After all, many men have feminine features. As a fine young man from the 21st century, he shouldn't care about such things.

"Hello, my name is Lin Bai."

Lin Bai nodded.

"I've heard of you. My Master often mentions you; my ears are almost calloused from hearing it."

Shi Shi Liuli sounded clearly like he was complaining.

Lin Bai naturally heard it too.

"Then I'm truly sorry for disturbing your peace."

Lin Bai said tentatively.

"No, no, my Master has always praised you for being very capable."

"So I hope we have a chance to spar."

"I saw your match that day; you were indeed very impressive."

Shi Shi Liuli hurriedly shook his head, realizing Lin Bai had misunderstood his meaning, and quickly clarified that he didn't dislike him as Lin Bai had suggested.

"Is that so? Then I wonder if you have any opinions or areas where I might need to improve?"

Lin Bai nodded and then sat down on a chair.

Seeing this, Shi Shi Liuli also sat down next to Lin Bai. Wang Wang Yuping frowned—that was supposed to be his seat!

But since the other party was a guest, he couldn't chase him away, so he could only move to another empty seat.

"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. My Master told me to learn from you. I wonder if it would be possible for us to discuss these matters more in the future?"

Shi Shi Liuli looked at Lin Bai with a smile.

Originally, when his Master told him this, he had been somewhat impatient, thinking his Master was just over-praising the guy.

But when he saw him during the match that day, he was immediately attracted.

This man was far more capable of capturing his attention than his Master had described.

"That would be my honor."

Lin Bai nodded, not feeling any aversion toward him.

At this moment, Shi You watched the two of them chatting happily, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but lift.

If things developed at this pace, he believed his plan would be realized before long.

"Old Shi, what devious scheme are you cooking up again?"

Shi You's oddity was caught by the Sect Master, especially that smile just now.

The Sect Master felt this old guy must be calculating something again.

"Ah? What are you talking about? I don't know."

Shi You was brought back by the Sect Master's voice and hurriedly shook his head.

"Hey, don't mention that—what are you eating? It's skewered, and it smells quite good."

"Tell me, when I go back, I want to make some myself."

Shi You hurriedly picked up a meat skewer in front of him, took a bite, nodded in satisfaction, and asked the Sect Master and the others for the recipe.

The Sect Master looked at him and rolled his eyes.

This old guy was certainly good at changing the subject.

"Sect Master Shi, this was made by my Senior Brother. Doesn't it taste good?"

"There's plenty more, have some more."

Hearing what Sect Master Shi said, Wei Xiang'an handed the skewers in front of him to the other party.

"Good lad, not bad, not bad. Remember to have your Senior Brother visit our Shi Shi Zhiling more often in the future to strengthen our bond."

Shi You nodded and took the skewers Wei Xiang'an handed over with a smile.

"Old Shi, you aren't still thinking of poaching Lin Bai to your side, are you?"

"I'm telling you, don't you dare have that idea."

Seeing Shi You so enthusiastic, the Sect Master couldn't help but narrow his eyes into a slit, sizing him up and trying to see through his thoughts.
