"Did Master Bai Mu send for me?" Li Ye asked as he stepped into the room. The door behind him was immediately shut tightly. Li Ye merely glanced around briefly without showing much reaction.Bai Mu pushed a scroll lying on the table toward Li Ye. The young man stepped closer and read it."...if the injury worsens, Li Ye shall willingly surrender his life...""Bai Lian is my only daughter, and I have never taken anything concerning her lightly," Bai Mu said with a sharp gaze. Li Ye's eyes slowly moved as he finished reading the contents of the scroll."If anything happens to her, I will quietly have you killed so she will never be hurt by the truth." Bai Mu handed a writing brush to Li Ye.Li Ye smiled faintly, fully understanding what Bai Mu meant."It doesn't matter if you don't trust me, Master. Bai Lian has treated me very well all this time. Li Ye is not afraid to die to repay her kindness." Without hesitation, he took the brush, preparing to sign the scroll containing the written

The giant spider's mouth kept moving as its two forelegs rapidly reached out, as though trying to pull Li Ye closer before wrapping him up in its web. A faint smile appeared on Li Ye's face. He channeled qi into both of his hands. "Just so you know, I've been dissecting monsters like you for study since I was ten years old," Li Ye hissed through gritted teeth. His qi-coated hands sliced through the web binding his back. Screeee! The spider let out a piercing screech as it raised its head in fury. It fired several more webs at Li Ye. He nearly got hit, but managed to escape by spinning away at the last second. Fwish! Fwish! The webs continued shooting toward him at incredible speed, nearly trapping him several times. However, with nimble and fluid movements, he dodged every attack. Li Ye's feet never stopped moving as he leaped from one tree to another, evading the relentless pursuit of the giant spider. Several trees snapped beneath the spider's attacks, but Li Ye paid them no

Li Ye closed his eyes. Sitting cross-legged, he slowly regulated his breathing. He circulated qi throughout his entire body before entering his spiritual consciousness. He had already comprehended the technique he had learned, so he intended to deepen his understanding of it within his spiritual consciousness.Seeing Li Ye sitting motionless with his eyes closed, the giant spider that had been secretly watching him finally made its move.It leaped high from its hiding place. Its mouth moved rapidly, spinning a web that shot toward the still-motionless Li Ye.Bang!Rocks scattered as dust billowed into the air. When everything settled, the giant spider let out an angry growl. Seeing that Li Ye was nowhere to be found, its three eyes darted around, searching for the young man.Suddenly, Li Ye descended from above, leaving the spider with no chance to evade. Qi enveloped Li Ye's body, then...Splass! Kreee!The giant spider let out a piercing scream as one of its eyes burst after being

Li Ye jolted in surprise when he saw who was there. "Senior, how could you be here?" the young man asked in confusion. Only then did Li Ye realize that his clothes had been changed and all his belongings were gone. "Don't panic. All your belongings are safe," the man said as he sat down beside the bed. He extinguished the calming incense and poured him a drink. Li Ye silently accepted it. After moistening his throat, he continued staring at the man suspiciously. "Didn't Senior say you would come pick me up after three days? As far as I remember, it wasn't time for us to meet yet before I lost consciousness," Li Ye said suspiciously. "You troublesome brat. Can't you stop asking questions and be grateful that you're still alive?" the man hissed, making a gesture as if he wanted to hit Li Ye. The young man merely narrowed his eyes in silence. "Just consider it a coincidence. You were simply lucky," he added, making Li Ye snort softly. "A coincidence? I don't believe in things

Ma Yuan snorted softly. His sharp gaze immediately made Li Cu tense up. "I am Ma Yuan. Do I need to give others a reason whenever I want to take someone with me?" the man replied unhappily. Li Cu was startled, his body trembling slightly under Ma Yuan's intimidating question. Li Xiang immediately stepped forward. "Master Ma, please don't take it to heart. Li Cu didn't mean it that way. He's still young and was merely speaking without thinking," he said politely. Seeing that Li Xiang had spoken up for Li Cu, Ma Yuan immediately shifted his gaze to Li Tianyuan. "Or... are some people thinking that I am not good enough to take one of the Li family's members under my supervision?" he sneered, making several people tense up. Li Tianyuan immediately laughed from his seat upon hearing the question. "How could that be? The fact that you are interested in the Li family is already an honor for us..." Li Tianyuan said, receiving several nervous nods of agreement from those around h
