Chapter 72: Liu Qingtian's Conversation, Qin Churan's Secret?

~8 min read 1,479 words

Ye Bai suddenly felt a touch of moisture!

He was completely stunned.

Li Qingqing, she actually...

Was this still the Ice Mountain school beauty who, to many, could only be admired from afar and never touched?

"This, this is the thing I promised you..."

Li Qingqing's face was so red it looked like it was about to drip blood.

"Qingqing..."

Ye Bai's heart was melting.

The young girl was still that same young girl.

She just desperately wanted to express the fiery emotions that had been hidden beneath the Ice Mountain all along!

She was too afraid of missing out!

Too afraid that Ye Bai returning was just a dream!

"Kiss him, kiss him!"

Suddenly, someone started to jeer.

Wang Xiaopang.

Although Li Qingqing was also his goddess.

His actions were more out of an appreciation for beautiful things.

The key was, the story of the Ice Mountain school beauty sticking by the down-and-out genius, a mutual pursuit, was just too sweet, wasn't it?

"Kiss him, kiss him!"

More people started to jeer.

"No, don't..." Li Qingqing was even more shy.

"Ye Bai and Qingqing are really a perfect match."

On the side, Xi Mengyue watched the young boy and girl, and unconsciously, she also revealed an auntie-like smile.

And Ye Bai, of course, did not actually listen to the crowd and kiss her.

Such a cute person, how could he bear to make her feel embarrassed?

"It's okay, I'm here."

He saw Li Qingqing's embarrassment; she hadn't run away only because of him, so he just stepped forward and carefully hugged Li Qingqing.

However, what happened in these few minutes was enough to make someone's mentality explode...

"Qingqing, she, how could she..."

Ning Yuan was dazed, lost.

He didn't even know how he left the city gate.

When he saw Ye Bai return alive, his brain immediately went "buzz"!

The scene of Li Qingqing kissing Ye Bai, followed by Ye Bai hugging Li Qingqing, was like a bolt from the blue to Ning Yuan!

He had guessed in advance that the relationship between Ye Bai and Li Qingqing was unusual.

But he also guessed it was a matter of the last few days.

So how could Li Qingqing, who was like an Ice Mountain to everyone, be like this in front of Ye Bai...

And why could Ye Bai, a person even Liu Qingtian thought was beyond saving and for whom a city-wide announcement had been issued, return alive?!

"Brother Ye is back alive, that's great!"

"Hehe, he and his girlfriend are really sweet, I'm definitely shipping this couple!"

Not long after.

The people at the city gate began to disperse, because the craze caused by the Military Department seeing Ye Bai return had mostly passed, and they specifically sent people to remind everyone that the city gate was closed and to leave in an orderly fashion.

Huang Weiguo and Chen Zhenyao had been in the Military Department ranks, and at this time, Huang Weiguo suddenly laughed.

"Still calling him Brother Ye?" Chen Zhenyao rolled his eyes.

"Ye Bai, Ye Bai, is that okay?"

Huang Weiguo gave a sheepish smile and changed his words.

Both of them were equally happy and excited to see Ye Bai return, but they did not leave the Military Department ranks, and even the ones responsible for inspections this time were other Junbu Zhanshi.

It wasn't that they didn't want to, but they felt they weren't worthy anymore.

At first, they thought Ye Bai was just a Martial Arts High School graduate who had just reached Rank One, and it was a great pity to find that Ye Bai hadn't returned.

Then, realizing Ye Bai had a bit of talent, they thought highly of this genius from an ordinary background and even considered taking care of him and bringing Ye Bai out of the city to hunt.

Then they learned that Ye Bai was actually a Third-Grade Martial Artist...

That was nothing, the gap in strength wasn't that big.

They had the confidence to be friends with Ye Bai and were sincerely happy for him.

As a result, today they learned that Ye Bai had used Third-Grade strength to counter-slay a Fourth Grade!

Even killing an Evil Spirit and killing a Fourth Grade Exotic Beast!

They were, of course, still happy.

Look, this was their Brother Ye; just ask yourself, is he awesome or not?

But regardless of whether Ye Bai had been hiding his strength all along, what was certain was that Ye Bai's monstrous level was beyond imagination!

And friendship is built on equal status...

When the status of one party is far higher than the other, it is very difficult for a friendship to remain the same, especially in this world where Martial Dao is supreme.

For the sake of appearances, and also to avoid causing trouble for Ye Bai, they decided that from today, from this very moment, they would fade out their relationship with Ye Bai!

From now on, they only know Ye Bai the Jiangcheng prodigy, not the "Brother Ye" with whom they drank and chatted!

"Alright, shift's over, find a place to have a drink?"

"Drink, we must drink!"

"Let's just say it's to celebrate Ye... celebrate us, for surviving another day!"

However, their thinking was very clear.

Chen Zhenyao and Huang Weiguo still felt a bit uncomfortable.

They had only known each other for less than five days, yet it felt like a very, very long time had passed.

"Two brothers, you aren't being kind; it was clearly me who had great luck today, surviving a disaster, yet you didn't call me to celebrate with drinks?"

But just as the two walked into Jiangcheng, a familiar voice rang out from a street corner.

The youth leaned against the wall, looking at Huang Weiguo and Chen Zhenyao with a playful expression.

If it wasn't Ye Bai, then who could it be?

"Ye... why are you here?!"

Huang Weiguo and the other were suddenly startled.

"Naturally, I was waiting for you two brothers."

Ye Bai spread his hands.

The youth did not notice the dejected Ning Yuan, because it was unimportant.

But he had long since noticed that Huang Weiguo and Chen Zhenyao had been slow to appear!

They should have appeared at the very first moment!

Therefore, when the Military Department notified everyone to leave in an orderly fashion, he actually did not intend to leave, scanning the Junbu Zhanshi.

"You, aren't you going to accompany your... your little girlfriend?" Huang Weiguo's gaze darted away, not wanting to take Ye Bai's bait.

"Brother Huang, Brother Chen, thank you both for searching for Ye Bai all day in the Wilderness!"

"If it's possible, can you add a pair of chopsticks later?"

Li Qingqing came out.

She had been standing quietly behind Ye Bai the whole time!

She also knew that Huang Weiguo and Chen Zhenyao had spent the whole day searching for Ye Bai in the Wilderness!

The squad the two belonged to was also the squad that had searched the hardest today!

"Th-that, we didn't..."

Huang Weiguo's first reaction was to deny it.

It was the same point as before; they didn't want a day to come where Ye Bai felt their strength was too weak, yet felt conflicted due to past friendship and didn't know how to cut ties, causing Ye Bai trouble.

"If you didn't, then you didn't. Two brothers, shall we head to Dingsheng? My treat!

You don't know, my aunt, that old lady, heard I knew you two and has been demanding that I ask you for knowledge on how to survive in the Wilderness!"

Ye Bai interrupted his speech.

Huang Weiguo still wanted to say something,

"Alright, since Brother Ye has put it this way, if we don't agree, it wouldn't be right!"

Chen Zhenyao slapped Huang Weiguo on the shoulder.

His face was full of heroic laughter!

He already understood Ye Bai's meaning.

The friendship would not change!

They felt they weren't worthy, so Ye Bai gave them the confidence.

"Brother Ye, how did you know we searched for you all day?"

Chen Zhenyao just couldn't understand how Ye Bai knew they had been searching in a panic all day...

Time rewinds to the point when everyone had just dispersed.

"Little Friend Ye, you have two good friends."

Ye Bai had just started looking for Chen Zhenyao and Huang Weiguo when he disappeared into the crowd and appeared before Liu Qingtian!

Liu Qingtian had told him directly about the efforts of Huang Weiguo and Chen Zhenyao.

Therefore, Ye Bai knew that these two brothers of his truly cared for him in their hearts!

However, the topic they discussed next made Ye Bai's expression change drastically...

"Little Friend Ye, shall we talk about what happened during the day?

Shall we talk about why that Evil Spirit specifically went to kill you?"
