Chapter 193: You Should Just Go
Everyone stayed silent, awaiting Bai Xinyue’s decision.
However, deep down, everyone already believed she would accept.
At least, if they were in her position, they knew they wouldn’t hesitate for even a heartbeat.
Some wanted to yell out, “Just say yes!”—but of course, none had the courage to speak.
Not while Yue Wushuang herself stood, still waiting for Bai Xinyue’s answer.
Then—
A cold voice cut through the stillness.
“Go!”
Bai Zihan.
He simply looked at her—his expression flat and unreadable, eyes calm as a frozen lake.
“You’ve gotten everything you wanted here,” he said, his tone faintly mocking.
“The Immortal Emperor’s inheritance. Your Dao Bone. And now… even the Flowing Moon Sect has come to pick you up like some precious disciple.”
His gaze drifted briefly to Yue Wushuang, merely to confirm her presence—then shifted away again, filled with complete disinterest.
“So what are you still doing here?”
He asked.
“Or is it that you still want revenge against me? I highly doubt you can win!”
Bai Zihan said it with confidence.
A few people on the battlefield flinched.
Everyone had witnessed how powerful Bai Xinyue was—her cultivation had reached the Spirit Severing Realm, and she’d even overwhelmed five Soul Formation Realm cultivators.
While Bai Zihan was certainly formidable, he was still in the Soul Formation Realm and clearly not on Bai Xinyue’s level.
Many thought he was being absurdly arrogant.
Some were stunned.
Others scoffed silently.
But no one dared to speak aloud.
Bai Xinyue, meanwhile, stood still.
She stared at him.
There was no hatred in her eyes now.
“You really are the same,” she said softly. “Unshakable arrogance!”
One might think his arrogance came from recently acquired strength—but he had always been this way, even back when the world called him a waste.
Arrogance that had never matched his strength.
“And even if you go to that sect—the Flowing Moon Sect—I doubt you’ll be any stronger than me.”
Bai Zihan finished flatly.
That, of course, crossed the line.
He was outright belittling one of the strongest sects in the Central Glorious Continent.
A faint twitch crossed Yue Wushuang’s brow.
That was clearly an insult to her sect.
She look at Bai Zihan was was clearly looking down on the Flowing Moon Sect.
There was no trace of fear in Bai Zihan’s voice. He wasn’t even trying to provoke.
He had spoken like he was simply stating a fact.
Yue Wushuang couldn’t detect any hidden meaning in his words.
(Ignorant fool!)
She thought.
She assumed Bai Zihan was so confident only because he was treated like an invincible genius within the Desolate Heaven Empire and hasn’t seen the world.
She believed that if he ever saw her sect, he wouldn’t dare utter such nonsense.
Qinglan quickly stepped forward with a nervous laugh.
“Ahaha, don’t mind him, Yue!”
She gently took Yue Wushuang’s arm like an old friend.
“That boy’s mouth is truly a masterpiece.”
She gave Yue a sideways glance.
“You’ll lose years off your life if you take everything he says seriously.”
Yue Wushuang stared at Bai Zihan a moment longer. Then her gaze softened.
(No need to be angry over an ignorant boy who will never step outside this small empire/)
“Is that so? No need to worry. I don’t take a junior’s words seriously anyway.”
Qinglan sighed in relief, thinking Yue Wushuang wasn’t offended, and glanced at Bai Zihan.
(Can’t you hold your tongue just once?)
Then Yue Wushuang asked casually, “Qinglan, do you know who he is? And how is he connected to Bai Xinyue?”
Although she wasn’t going to pursue the insulting remark, Bai Zihan had definitely caught her attention.
Arrogant individuals like him either became monsters or met bitter ends.
Usually the latter.
Qinglan gave a faint smile and turned her gaze toward Bai Zihan.
At Yue Wushuang’s question, she nodded calmly, her tone even as she began to explain.
He was Bai Zihan—once treated as trash by his clan, now one of their brightest stars.
Her disciple, technically—accepted at the request of Bai Xueqing and the Sect Leader.
But in truth, Qinglan knew she hadn’t taught him a single thing. Not a technique. Not a lesson. Not even a word of advice.
She was his master only in name—because he had joined her peak.
That was all.
Still, formally, he was her disciple.
That much was true.
Qinglan went on to list a few of Bai Zihan’s accomplishments.
Yue Wushuang listened quietly, but her expression didn’t change. None of those achievements impressed her.
They were nothing compared to her own feats—feats that could shake entire regions of the continent.
To her, Bai Zihan’s accomplishments were… insignificant.
But what did catch her attention was what Qinglan said next—without needing to be prompted.
Bai Zihan and Bai Xinyue had a deep, long-standing conflict.
Qinglan explained how Bai Zihan had stolen Bai Xinyue’s Dao Bone when they were young, and how she was later exiled from the clan.
“Hmmm… That’s not the kind of vibe I’m getting,” Yue Wushuang murmured.
If they truly hated each other, their interaction wouldn’t be so calm—so strangely personal.
The way Bai Xinyue had looked at Bai Zihan… it wasn’t the gaze of an enemy.
“That… might be because Bai Zihan relinquished the Immortal Emperor’s inheritance to Bai Xinyue. So perhaps she no longer bears any hatred.”
“He did what?”
Yue Wushuang was stunned.
Qinglan then elaborated on the trial and how Bai Zihan had given up the inheritance, his words met by Bai Xinyue’s silent acceptance—making it all but confirmed.
“…”
Yue Wushuang now looked at Bai Zihan with new interest.
The Immortal Emperor’s inheritance was something even she, a top-tier genius from one of the continent’s greatest sects, would have risked her life to obtain.
She couldn’t fathom a reason to give it up.
Even if she were in his position—she would have kept it.
It was far too valuable to be offered as an apology.
And now… this also made her reconsider Bai Zihan’s earlier statement.
Perhaps his words weren’t just arrogance or ignorance.
If he had been capable of defeating Bai Xinyue to seize the Immortal Emperor’s inheritance in the first place…
Then perhaps he was more terrifying than anyone here realized.
(Pity that our Sect only accepts females!)
Yue Wushuang thought.
Otherwise, she might as well take Bai Zihan with Bai Xinyue.
Though she didn’t believe he possessed greater potential than Bai Xinyue, especially considering he had given up her Dao Bone and relinquished the Immortal Emperor’s inheritance.
She thought it would have been interesting nonetheless!
