“By the way, I haven't thanked you yet, Young Master. If it weren't for your rescue this time, I might never have returned. It's just a pity about that gun you entrusted to me…”
Noticing a change in Ye Huan's expression, Bai Yulin understood that his survival at Yuxu Palace was closely tied to Ye Huan. He hurriedly expressed his gratitude, but as he spoke, he suddenly felt a pang of regret for the Fire God Cannon Gatling that Ye Huan had given him. This made Ye Huan find it somewhat amusing; no matter how powerful the Gatling Gun was, it was ultimately Ye Huan's summon. Even if the randomness was indeed a bit high, as long as Ye Huan wanted it, he could summon it eventually—whether it took one attempt or a hundred. The worst that would happen was wasting some of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy from the Summoning Book. He never expected Bai Yulin to value it so highly.
Gently patting Bai Yulin's shoulder, Ye Huan said nothing but took out the Summoning Book and began summoning the Gatling in front of Bai Yulin. However, perhaps due to bad luck today, he failed to summon the true Fire God Cannon Gatling three times in a row, which left him feeling somewhat embarrassed. He sheepishly flashed an apologetic smile at Bai Yulin.
“It’s fine, Young Master. I’m already very satisfied with this.”
Enduring the pain from his wounds, Bai Yulin forced a smile at Ye Huan and quickly picked up an ordinary Gatling that Ye Huan had just summoned, swiftly storing it in his Spatial Ring. This scene immediately displeased Black Shadow Flower, who had been watching their conversation from a distance. She muttered to herself, “Hmph, it's just a broken gun. What's so great about it…”
“Sister, what are you saying?”
Zhao Ziyu overheard Black Shadow Flower's grumbling and pretended not to hear anything to save face for her. She even leaned closer to Black Shadow Flower with a puzzled look on her pretty face.
“Nothing, nothing! I just think Young Master is so good to Bai Yulin; in the future, Bai Yulin should do anything for Young Master.”
Startled by Zhao Ziyu's voice, Black Shadow Flower hurriedly defended herself and then shamelessly suggested that Bai Yulin should follow Ye Huan without hesitation. This nearly made Zhao Ziyu laugh out loud at what she had previously said. Fortunately, after spending some time with Black Shadow Flower and Bai Yulin, she knew they would never harm Ye Huan. Therefore, she chose not to say anything further and instead pulled Black Shadow Flower over to Bai Yulin's side.
“Hey, Bai Yulin! Do you know how worried Black Shadow Flower was about you earlier? You woke up and still pretended to be asleep! Come on! What’s going on here?”
Under the curious gazes of Black Shadow Flower and Bai Yulin, Zhao Ziyu stood by the bed and started teasing Bai Yulin. This made both Bai Yulin and Black Shadow Flower feel a bit awkward. Even Ye Huan stood by with a smile on his face, eager to hear how Bai Yulin would respond. After all, just moments ago, Ye Huan had discovered that Bai Yulin was pretending to be unconscious and was equally curious about why he would do such a thing.
"This, I... I... was ordered to do this by Young Master!"
Bai Yulin stammered, repeating the word "I" twice, as if he had some unspeakable secret. He then desperately turned his gaze towards Ye Huan, shifting the blame entirely onto him. Initially, Ye Huan was waiting to see Bai Yulin make a fool of himself, but as soon as Bai Yulin spoke, Ye Huan was caught off guard and completely confused, unable to grasp what Bai Yulin truly meant.
"Alright! Ye Huan, tell me, what is going on here? Do you have some kind of scheme?"
Zhao Ziyu shifted her focus from Bai Yulin to Ye Huan's somewhat innocent face. After hearing Bai Yulin's words, she unceremoniously directed her accusations at Ye Huan. It was clear she was weighing the 'friendship' between Ye Huan and Yuxiang'er. Even Black Shadow Flower looked at Ye Huan with a strange expression, scrutinizing him closely. Her already poor impression of him only worsened after this incident.
Fortunately, Ye Huan was unaware that Black Shadow Flower had always looked at him unfavorably; otherwise, he would have regretted how this scene had tarnished his image in her eyes.
Feeling frustrated, he scratched the back of his head. Since there was no way to avoid it, he reluctantly explained the situation to the two women. It turned out that while he was bringing Bai Yulin back to Yuxu Palace without Bai Yulin's knowledge, Bai Yulin had already regained consciousness. However, after some thought, Ye Huan decided to have Bai Yulin pretend to be unconscious to make his words more convincing among the elders of Yuxu Palace. This strategy proved effective; upon seeing Bai Yulin's unconscious state and the injury on his arm, the elders grew increasingly wary of the Heavenly Dragon Gate Protector and were almost entirely compliant with Ye Huan's claims. This demonstrated the correctness of Ye Huan's plan.
"How could you keep such a big thing from us, Ye Huan? Don't you know how worried Black Shadow Flower has been about Bai Yulin?"
After hearing Ye Huan slowly recount the events, Zhao Ziyu angrily pointed at him and scolded him. Yet Ye Huan found himself unable to retort. With Black Shadow Flower also casting a reproachful glance his way, he decided to take a stand. He puffed out his chest as if preparing for a confrontation with the two women, which frightened Bai Yulin into reaching out to grab Ye Huan. However, before Bai Yulin could touch him, Ye Huan spoke up: "I was wrong! Is that enough? To be honest, this whole thing is my fault; I didn’t notify you in advance because I needed to convince the elders of Yuxu Palace. That was my mistake."
"Alright, alright. I'm not used to you being so serious in your apology."
Waving her hand at Ye Huan, Black Shadow Flower hadn’t expected him to admit his fault so directly. Since it wasn’t a huge issue anyway, she decided to let it go. What she didn’t realize was that upon hearing her words, Ye Huan finally breathed a sigh of relief and resolved in his heart that he would make Bai Yulin pay for selling out his accomplice—once Bai Yulin recovered.
"Achoo! Ah... Achoo! How strange; who is thinking about me?"
Sitting on the bed and sneezing twice in succession, Bai Yulin seemed oblivious to how he had made Ye Huan take the blame and angered him. He continued talking to himself until he seemed to remember something and lifted his head to address Ye Huan: "By the way, Young Master, about the Heavenly Dragon Gate Protector..."
"You don't need to worry about that; I have my own ways!"
With his right hand clenched into a fist, Ye Huan was truly more concerned about Jin Ling than the Guardians of the Heavenly Dragon Sect. According to their previous agreement, Jin Ling had promised to make a deal with him. Therefore, whether he could successfully delay the actions of the Heavenly Dragon Gate Protector seemed to be Jin Ling's biggest challenge. If they could hold out until Yu Wuxia woke up, then perhaps Yuxu Palace would still have a chance against the Heavenly Dragon Sect. However, if Jin Ling failed to meet the terms of their deal and couldn't slow down the Heavenly Dragon Gate Protector, Ye Huan would have to seek other solutions...
