627: Chapter 627: Could it be that he/she has become foolish?
Shen Yi gazed at Bai Xiaofan standing before the mountain gate, and suddenly, a new aspiration surged within her.
She was determined to cultivate diligently, striving for the day she could, like Bai Xiaofan, stand against the tides of chaos with the power of one!
At the same time, she aimed to be worthy enough to stand beside him, to fight shoulder to shoulder with him!
Xiao Mei’s beautiful eyes shone with incessant amazement, her gaze at Bai Xiaofan filled with both delight and dissatisfaction.
On one hand, she was happy about Bai Xiaofan’s formidable strength.
On the other, she was quite angered that Bai Xiaofan was now far stronger than her.
Not long ago, Bai Xiaofan had to flee for his life from her pursuit.
And in such a short time, he had even succeeded in killing a Nascent Soul Stage mid-phase expert.
As for her, she was merely at the half-step Nascent Soul realm, let alone competing with a Nascent Soul Stage mid-phase expert.
If she were to face a Nascent Soul Stage early-phase cultivator alone, she would lose in eighty percent of the encounters.
Even with the Green Lotus Sword in hand, at most she could only manage a stalemate!
Ye Ling and the rest of the Taiyi Sect disciples looked at Bai Xiaofan with eyes full of admiration.
By his own strength, to consecutively slay five Nascent Soul Stage masters — who else could possess such courage and power?
Moreover, at this moment, Bai Xiaofan was merely in the late Golden Core phase!
“Are you planning to take me as your master and follow my lead?”
Bai Xiaofan, holding a willow twig, turned and looked at Huang Sanshi and the dozen or so people behind him.
Hearing Bai Xiaofan’s words, Huang Sanshi and the others did not hesitate, they immediately knelt on the ground and loudly declared.
“We are willing to take you as our master and from now on, we will follow your lead unquestioningly!”
Bai Xiaofan nodded in approval, waved his great hand, and a pale crimson halo enveloped Huang Sanshi and the others.
Huang Sanshi and the others were startled, and then they gave up any resistance, allowing Bai Xiaofan to plant a contract in their minds.
Moments later, the crimson halo dissipated, and a scarlet mark flashed across the brows of Huang Sanshi and the others before vanishing.
In that moment, Bai Xiaofan could clearly feel that with just a thought, he could kill Huang Sanshi and the others before him.
“We pay homage to our master!”
Leading the way, Huang Sanshi shouted out to Bai Xiaofan; then, following his lead, the other dozen or so people shouted in unison.
“Oh congratulations, if there’s nothing else, we’ll be on our way!”
Xiao Mei, leading the disciples of the Wan Poison Sect, approached Bai Xiaofan and spoke in a sour tone before attempting to lead the disciples away.
“Wait a minute!”
Bai Xiaofan looked at Xiao Mei with an expressionless gaze but suddenly knitted his brows tightly and called out to Xiao Mei, who was about to leave.
“What for?
You’re not thinking of killing us too, are you?
Bai Xiaofan, don’t bully us too much—we didn’t get involved in your fight!”
Hearing Bai Xiaofan’s words, the Wan Poison Sect disciples were instantly scared stiff, staring at Bai Xiaofan with terror-stricken faces, their eyes filled with boundless dread!
If Bai Xiaofan were to attack them, they might not even know how they died.
Xiao Mei’s brows slightly furrowed in puzzlement as she looked at Bai Xiaofan and protectively placed the Wan Poison Sect disciples behind her.
“Come with me!”
Bai Xiaofan looked at Xiao Mei as if she were being foolish and without further discussion grasped her hand, heading towards the great hall of the Taiyi Sect.
“Hey!
Let go of me?
Bai Xiaofan, you scoundrel!”
Xiao Mei struggled vigorously, trying to free her hand from Bai Xiaofan’s tight grip.
“Stop shouting.
Didn’t you ask what I was up to?
Now I’m about to show you!”
Bai Xiaofan responded irritably as he hoisted Xiao Mei onto his shoulder and walked briskly forward.
“You bastard, I won’t do it, I didn’t mean that, let me go now, or I will start resisting!”
Xiao Mei kept hammering her fists on Bai Xiaofan’s back.
The crowd watched the two entering the hall, disheveled in the wind…
What… what the hell?
What are they going to do?
Why does this feel so strange?
Could it be that Bai Xiaofan really intends to, at this time, take Xiao Mei first?
Especially the disciples of Wan Poison Sect, they were totally flabbergasted, not knowing whether to stay or leave.
This was their Senior Sister, when had she ever been led by the hand by a man?
When had a man ever shouldered her and walked dominantly into the main hall?
Although Xiao Mei kept talking about resisting, and she was indeed resisting.
But the punching and kicking, how ever you looked at it, resembled the playful banter between lovers.
Thinking about the tone they used when speaking with each other, they became even more convinced that Bai Xiaofan was planning to carry Xiao Mei off to do something unsavory.
“Brothers from Wan Poison Sect, go and rest over there for a bit!”
As the Sect Leader of Taiyi Sect, Shen Yi gave orders to the disciples of Wan Poison Sect.
She then commanded the disciples behind her to start cleaning up the corpses and bloodstains on the ground…
Huang Sanshi, followed by a dozen men, retreated to a side area, waiting quietly for Bai Xiaofan to come out.
Waiting for Bai Xiaofan’s next instructions to them.
“What on earth are you going to do?
Put me down now!”
Having entered the hall, Xiao Mei grabbed onto Bai Xiaofan’s waist with her little hands, calling out in a tender voice.
Bai Xiaofan set Xiao Mei down in front of him, his eyes tightly locked, staring at Xiao Mei’s cheek.
“You jerk, have you gone mad?
At most, we’ve cooperated, but to carry me like this in front of so many people, how will I stand my ground in the sect afterwards?”
Xiao Mei complained about Bai Xiaofan’s actions while adjusting her clothing.
The violent shouldering by Bai Xiaofan had flipped her top upward.
However, what puzzled Xiao Mei was that in the face of her complaints, Bai Xiaofan seemed completely indifferent.
He just stood there, grinning stupidly at her, as if there were flowers on her face.
“I’m talking to you, what are you staring at me for?”
Xiao Mei stood with her hands on her hips, staring at Bai Xiaofan across from her, questioning in a tender voice.
“Have you encountered some tough enemy recently?”
Hearing Xiao Mei ask such a question, Bai Xiaofan pondered for a moment, voicing the doubt in his mind.
“You haven’t gone mad, have you?
Where are so many tough enemies coming from?
The enemies within the sect, including the Second Elder, are all dead, and now in the sect, apart from Master, I’m the one in charge!”
Xiao Mei looked at Bai Xiaofan as if he were an idiot, failing to understand why he would ask such a question.
In the sect, no one dared to harbor ill intentions towards her anymore.
“What about other sects?
Do you have any enemies there?”
Bai Xiaofan didn’t mind Xiao Mei’s expression and continued to press on with his questions.
“No more there either, just Wang Chong, and you’ve already killed him!”
Xiao Mei shook her head, answering softly.
