Chapter 541: No Matter How Good He Is, He Is Not Yours

"Let the young handle their own affairs; we old ones should not interfere."

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

"This young man is capable."

Seeing the jealous expressions on these people's faces, Shi Zhiling could not help but speak in a sarcastic tone.

However, his last sentence was the truth, serving as a piece of advice to these fellows; whether they listened or not was their own business.

Yet, he felt that Long Zhenzhong would not listen to what he said at all. He might even think that Shi Zhiling was putting a high hat on Lin Bai.

Sure enough, upon hearing Shi Zhiling's words, Long Zhenzhong pouted.

"Old Shi, your words sound a bit like you are boosting the morale of others."

"No matter how good Lin Bai is, he is not a disciple of your Shi Zhiling."

"With such thoughts, you might as well focus more on your own disciples; envying others ultimately benefits no one, you can only watch."

Long Zhenzhong raised an eyebrow; although he knew Lin Bai possessed extraordinary talent, due to previous matters, he had always been dissatisfied with Lin Bai, especially since the other party completely disregarded them, which made him have little goodwill toward this junior.

He could not even understand why Shi Zhiling kept speaking up for Lin Bai.

"Although he is not mine, people have the right to associate; if we interact more in the future, we will eventually become friends."

Shi Zhiling pouted, then decided not to bother with the other person, quickened his pace, and returned to his residence.

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

Meanwhile, Lin Bai went straight to the Sect Master.

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

Watching Lin Bai's figure walk away, Wei Xiang's gossiping heart could not help but stir.

"Who knows? Maybe there is something going on."

Wang Yuping shrugged, having absolutely no idea.

"I guess it must be related to Shi Zhiling."

Relying on his keen perception, Wei Xiang felt his guess this time would definitely be correct.

"Related to Shi Zhiling? Why?"

Wang Yuping looked completely confused.

"What I said today is that the Sect Master is probably truly afraid Lin Bai will be snatched away by someone."

Wei Xiang wore a smile, after all, someone as talented as his senior brother is not someone anyone would be willing to give up.

"Alright, but didn't Senior Brother already say he won't leave? So we have nothing to worry about."

"I'm going back to rest; I won't chat idly with you here."

Wang Yuping shrugged and left the spot; on the other side, Lin Bai hurriedly arrived at the Sect Master's location.

Upon arriving at the Sect Master's place, he found the Sect Master sitting there drinking tea, his thoughts seemingly drifting elsewhere.

"Sect Master, I have arrived."

Lin Bai stepped forward and bowed.

"Sit quickly."

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

Lin Bai did not stand on ceremony and sat down directly.

"Sect Master, do you know why you called me here?"

Lin Bai went straight to the point.

"Actually, it is nothing major; I just have a small matter I want to confirm with you."

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

"Sect Master, if there is something, just say it."

"If I know it, I will tell you everything in detail."

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

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

The Sect Master looked at Lin Bai and asked aloud.

"Of course it is good; the Master is good, the Sect Master is good, and all the Elders are quite nice too."

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

"Why does the Sect Master suddenly ask this?"

Lin Bai raised an eyebrow, not knowing what medicine the Sect Master was selling in his gourd.

"What about Shi Zhiling?"

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

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

Hearing this, Lin Bai instantly understood the reason why the Sect Master had summoned him.

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

"I just think the Shi Sect Master and Shi Liuli are worth deep friendship; after all, having an extra friend is better than having an extra enemy, isn't it?"

"So the thing you are worried about, I guarantee you it will absolutely not happen."

Looking at the other person, Lin Bai wore a smile and then declared his determination.

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

After all, he had been a bit petty; however, the Shi Sect Master's recent behavior had indeed made him a bit afraid. He truly feared the other party might have made some conditions for Lin Bai behind the scenes; if Lin Bai were moved by them, wouldn't that be exactly what the other party wanted?

"Does the Sect Master have anything else? If not, I will leave first."

"However, you need not worry about this matter at all. No matter when, I am a disciple of the Place of Beginningless, and this will never change."

Looking at the other person, Lin Bai said with a smile on his face.

"He was right; I wonder why, during this period, whether it was the Master or the Sect Master, their eyes held vigilance whenever they saw me getting close to Shi Liuli and Sect Master Shi. Now that I think about it, Lin Bai instantly understood the reason behind this."

They were simply afraid that I would truly leave.

"It's all right, it's all right. You should go back first."

"Put in your best effort at tomorrow's competition; it is a test for all of you."

"Remember, winning or losing is not important; drawing lessons from it is more important."

The Sect Master spoke up to remind Lin Bai.

"Sect Master, rest assured. I will absolutely not bring shame to our Place of Beginningless."

Lin Bai nodded and said with a smile on his face.

"Good."

With the Sect Master's relieved gaze, Lin Bai left the spot.

"Why have you returned? Didn't you say you would wait for me until my competition ended?"

As soon as Lin Bai returned to his residence, he saw the Thousand-Year Snake Beauty, whom he had not seen for a long time.

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

"You little rascal, not bad. While I was away for this period, you actually got involved with other women."

"Isn't your liking the new and discarding the old too fast?"

The Thousand-Year Snake Beauty looked at Lin Bai with a half-smile, and most importantly, Lin Bai caught the hidden meaning in her words.

"What women? What are you talking about?"

"Besides, how am I liking the new and discarding the old?"

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

During this period, how could I have greeted any women?
