Chapter 249: Even if it

"As for the affairs of the young, we old folks shouldn't interfere."

"If you envy them, just let your own disciples get closer to Lin Bai."

"This young man. He's capable."

Shi You watched the jealous expressions on these people and couldn't help but become sarcastic.

However, his final sentence was the truth, and it could be considered a piece of advice for these fellows; as for whether they listened or not, that was their own business.

Still, he felt that Long Long Zhenzhong would absolutely not take his words to heart. He might even think that he was just singing Lin Bai's praises.

Sure enough, upon hearing this from Shi You, Long Long Zhenzhong curled his lips.

"Old Shi, your words sound a bit like you're boosting someone else's morale."

"No matter how good this Lin Bai is, he isn't a disciple of your Shi Shi Zhiling."

"Instead of having such thoughts, you'd be better off focusing on your own disciples. Envy of others is ultimately not your own; you can only watch."

Long Long Zhenzhong raised his eyebrows. Although he knew Lin Bai had extraordinary aptitude, he had been dissatisfied with him due to previous events, especially since the other party didn't take them seriously at all, which left him with little affection for this junior.

He couldn't even understand why Shi You would repeatedly speak up for Lin Bai.

"Although he isn't mine, people have the right to associate. If we interact more in the future, we will eventually become friends."

Shi You curled his lips, and not intending to engage with the other party further, he quickened his pace and returned to his own residence.

Shi Shi Liuli had originally wanted to chat with Lin Bai a bit more, but after returning to their living quarters, Lin Bai was summoned by the Sect Master, so Shi Shi Liuli had no choice but to return to the Shi Shi Zhiling residence.

Lin Bai headed straight for the Sect Master's place.

"Potato, guess what the Sect Master wants with Senior Brother this time?"

Watching Lin Bai's retreating figure, Wei Xiang'an's gossiping heart couldn't help but stir.

"Who knows? Maybe there's some matter."

Wang Wang Yuping shrugged his shoulders, having no idea.

"I guess it probably has to do with Shi Shi Zhiling."

Relying on his keen perception, Wei Xiang'an felt that his guess this time would absolutely be correct.

"Related to Shi Shi Zhiling? Why?"

Wang Wang Yuping looked puzzled.

"I said it today, didn't I? The Sect Master is probably really afraid that Lin Bai will be snatched away."

Wei Xiang'an wore a smile; after all, not everyone could bear to give up someone as talented as his Senior Brother.

"Fine, but hasn't Senior Brother already said he won't leave? So we don't have anything to worry about."

"I'm going back to rest, not going to gossip with you here."

Wang Wang Yuping shrugged his shoulders and left the spot. On the other side, Lin Bai arrived at the Sect Master's place with quick steps.

Upon arriving, he found the Sect Master sitting there drinking tea, his thoughts seemingly drifted elsewhere.

"Sect Master, I am here."

Lin Bai stepped forward and bowed.

"Sit, quickly."

Seeing Lin Bai, the Sect Master pulled back his thoughts and pointed to the seat beside him.

Lin Bai didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly.

"Sect Master, I wonder what business you have with me."

Lin Bai went straight to the point.

"Actually, it's nothing major, just a small matter I wanted to confirm with you."

The Sect Master looked at Lin Bai and said with a smile.

"Sect Master, just say whatever it is."

"Anything I know, I will tell you truthfully."

Looking at the Sect Master's expression, Lin Bai raised an eyebrow and replied with a smile.

"Very well, then I shall speak. What do you think of the Beginningless Land?"

The Sect Master looked at Lin Bai and asked.

"Of course it's good. Master is good, Sect Master is good, and all the Elders are also quite good."

"Moreover, Wang Wang Yuping and Wei Xiang'an get along very well with me."

"Why does the Sect Master ask this suddenly?"

Lin Bai raised an eyebrow, wondering what medicine the Sect Master was selling in his gourd.

"And what about Shi Shi Zhiling?"

"What do you think of Shi Shi Liuli and the others?"

After hearing Lin Bai's answer, the Sect Master continued to ask.

At this point, Lin Bai instantly understood the reason why the Sect Master had called him over.

"Sect Master, I know what you are worried about. Rest assured, no matter how good Shi Shi Zhiling is, I am a person of the Beginningless Land."

"I just think that Sect Master Shi and Shi Shi Liuli are worth befriending. After all, having one more friend is better than having one more enemy, isn't it?"

"So, I guarantee that what you are worried about will absolutely not happen."

Looking at the other party, Lin Bai smiled and expressed his determination.

After hearing what Lin Bai said, for some reason, the Sect Master felt a bit embarrassed.

After all, he had been a bit small-minded. However, Sect Master Shi's recent behavior had indeed made him somewhat afraid. He was truly worried that the other party had offered Lin Bai some conditions in private, and if Lin Bai were tempted, wouldn't that just play right into their hands?

"Sect Master, is there anything else? If not, I will take my leave."

"However, you don't need to worry about this matter at all. No matter when, I will always be a disciple of the Beginningless Land. This will not change."

Looking at the other party, Lin Bai said with a smile.

He finally understood why, during this time, both his Master and the Sect Master had looked at him with vigilance whenever he got close to Shi Shi Liuli and Sect Master Shi. Now that he thought about it, Lin Bai instantly understood the reason.

They were simply afraid that he would really leave.

"Nothing else, nothing else. Then you may go back first."

"Give it your all in tomorrow's competition; it is a test for all of you."

"Remember, winning or losing is not important; gaining experience from it is more important."

The Sect Master looked at Lin Bai and reminded him.

"Sect Master, rest assured, I will definitely not lose face for our Beginningless Land."

Lin Bai nodded and said with a smile.

"Good."

Under the Sect Master's reassured gaze, Lin Bai left the spot.

"Why are you back? Didn't you say you were going to wait until my competition ended?"

As soon as Lin Bai returned to his residence, he saw the Millennium Snake Charm, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

The other party was sitting on the bed looking at him.

"You're quite something, kid. While I was away, you actually hooked up with another woman."

"Isn't your fickleness a bit too fast?"

The Millennium Snake Charm looked at Lin Bai with a half-smile. Most importantly, Lin Bai caught the hidden meaning in her words.

"What woman? What are you talking about?"

"Besides, how am I fickle?"

Hearing what the other party said, Lin Bai felt completely confused.

During this time, he hadn't even greeted any woman.
