Chapter 538: What's So Happy? What Are You Happy About! (Please Subscribe and Support)

"What is it that has you so distracted?"

Hearing Lin Bai's words, Shi Zhiling wore a look of confusion.

Seeing that Lin Bai didn't intend to say anything, she didn't press further.

"Just watching the match, watching the match."

Lin Bai was so embarrassed he wanted to slap himself.

He felt he must have gone mad; it seemed necessary for him to find time to go vent to those people in the group chat, and also let them see if he had contracted some illness, since he had actually developed unrealistic thoughts about a man. This was simply too crazy.

"Oh, alright."

Shi Zhiling nodded.

However, Lin Bai's gaze kept drifting over toward Shi Zhiling from time to time.

"I think we might be losing Senior Brother."

Seeing Wei Xiang leaned close to Wang Wang Yuping and whispered softly.

"What? What's wrong with Senior Brother?"

Wang Wang Yuping looked confused, staring at Lin Bai's side but finding nothing unusual.

Except for Shi Zhiling occasionally saying a few words to Lin Bai, and Lin Bai chuckling a few times.

Although he wasn't entirely comfortable, he didn't think there was any problem.

"If you don't believe me, just watch."

Seeing Wei Xiang trusted his own judgment; based on his observation of Lin Bai over the past two days, the other party would definitely create some sort of entanglement with Shi Zhiling, it was just that they themselves were not yet aware of it.

Although Seeing Wei Xiang also felt this scene was a bit eerie, he also felt it seemed not entirely unacceptable; as long as it was Lin Bai's own choice, he thought it was fine.

"Old Shi, what are you smiling about? You've been sitting here all morning just chuckling."

"What happy thing is there? Let us see too."

Long Long Zhenzhong looked at Shi You beside him with a look of confusion.

This old man had been sitting here since early morning with his mouth unable to close from smiling; no one knew what the other party was laughing at.

The match on the field had not yet begun for Shi Zhiling's disciples.

So naturally, the other party was not smiling about his own disciples winning the match.

Long Long Zhenzhong even felt that even if his own disciples won the match, the other party would not be this happy.

"Can't I just be in a good mood today?"

Shi You pouted, his gaze fixed on Lin Bai's direction; watching Lin Bai and Shi Zhiling sitting together, he felt they looked extremely well-matched no matter how he looked.

"Old Shi, tell me the truth, what devilish scheme are you plotting?"

The Sect Master noticed the other party's gaze, which had been fixed on Lin Bai, and instantly became alert.

Looking at Shi You's smile, he felt a chill run down his spine; this old fellow definitely had ulterior motives regarding Lin Bai.

"Oh my, what kind of person do you think I am?"

"I said I wouldn't fight you for Lin Bai, and I won't fight you for Lin Bai."

"Besides, Lin Bai is a living person; can I just snatch him away if I say I can?"

Shi You withdrew his gaze.

Looking at the Sect Master, he felt as though he had been slandered.

"Let's hope so."

The Sect Master raised an eyebrow; he still didn't believe what Shi You said, yet he also felt the other party was right.

Where Lin Bai wanted to go still depended on the other party's will.

It seemed necessary for him to have a proper chat with Lin Bai and ask what the other party's true thoughts were.

"You old fellow, really, I'm never speaking to you again."

Seeing Shi You speak to him so sharply, Long Long Zhenzhong couldn't help but raise an eyebrow; that look was somewhat like he was picking a quarrel.

"You're so old, why are you still acting like a child?"

Seeing Long Long Zhenzhong's aggrieved look, Shi You inexplicably felt something was off.

However, Long Long Zhenzhong was indeed someone who remembered; he said he wouldn't speak to the other party, and he truly ignored Shi You.

Seeing that the other party was truly angry, Shi You didn't bother to make a fool of himself further, and continued to fix his gaze on Lin Bai.

After feeling the gaze, Lin Bai raised his head and looked toward Shi You's direction.

Shi You did not dodge; noticing Lin Bai looking over, he nodded to the other party.

Seeing this, Lin Bai could only nod in acknowledgment, but then thought again: the other party might not be looking at him; it was possible he was looking at Shi Zhiling beside him.

Thinking this, Lin Bai lowered his head and continued watching the match on the field.

Those who could advance from the hundred-person preliminary selection into the top thirty already possessed strength that could not be underestimated; in some Xiaozong Sects, they might already be considered the cream of the crop.

So the upcoming matches would be much more exciting than before.

Only Lin Bai was an exception; the rest had basically exerted their full effort for this match.

Of course, excluding the top talents from the five Men Sects, because they already belonged to the elite in their respective technique cultivation and were incomparable to ordinary people.

So it appeared, but it made Lin Bai feel it was much more interesting than before.

The match proceeded quickly; time flashed by, and it was already afternoon.

"Lin Bai, you two wait there for me; I have to go compete now."

"Last time you said you didn't get to see my match; this time you can't leave, alright?"

Shi Zhiling stood up, looking at the field where his name was being called, and said with a smile on his face.

"Alright, go ahead."

Lin Bai nodded, then watched Shi Zhiling leave the spot, leap down, and arrive directly in the center of the arena.

"Senior Brother, you wouldn't have forgotten us just because you have Shi Zhiling, would you?"

After Shi Zhiling left, Wang Yuping moved closer toward Lin Bai.

And Wei Xiang even sat directly in the spot Shi Zhiling had occupied just moments before.

They flanked Lin Bai on the left and right, sandwiching him in the middle.

"What are you two talking about?"

Lin Bai stared at these two people beside him who were questioning themselves, utterly confused, wondering what they were up to.

"Senior Brother, you aren't planning to leave the Place of No Beginning, are you?"

Wang Yuping suddenly remembered a serious issue and stared at the other person with a face full of terror.

"You brat, you want me to leave that badly?"

"Besides, where would I go if I left the Place of No Beginning? If I intended to leave, why did I come to the Place of No Beginning in the first place?"

Hearing the other person's words, Lin Bai's expression turned ugly; he even felt the other person was making trouble out of nothing.

"Follow Shi Zhiling back to Shi Zhiling, after all, Sect Master Shi quite likes you."

Wang Yuping voiced his worry; he truly feared Lin Bai would actually leave with Shi Zhiling.

"What are you thinking? My Master and the Sect Master have both been so good to me."

"Why would I leave the Place of No Beginning?"

"Sect Master Shi admires me; that is his business, what does it have to do with me?"

"My admiration for Shi Zhiling is just admiration; why would I go with her?"

Confused by Wang Yuping's words, Lin Bai couldn't help but frown.

"That's good, that's good."

"Senior Brother, we thought you had been bewitched by beauty."

Wei Xiang patted his chest and said with a smile.
