"Morning Wind, where's Jiang Shanshui? "Are you really going to let him go?"

Seeing Ye Chenfeng, who was covered in blood, walk out of the room, Bai Xiya immediately went up to him and asked worriedly.

"Jiang Shanshui is dead." Ye Zichen said in a low voice as he looked at Bai Xiya with a burning gaze.

"That's good!" Ye Chenfeng nodded and said.

He thought that the Bai Clan was indeed more afraid of the consequences of Jiang Shanshui's death. After all, with his strength, he had a great chance of escaping from the pursuit of the experts of the Jiang Clan.

"Morning Wind, I want to talk to you alone, okay?" Bai Xi Ya blinked her eyes and looked at Ye Zichen expectantly, then asked softly.

"I'll deal with this first, then we can go out and talk." Ye Chenfeng guessed Bai Xiya's motive for finding him, so he nodded and said.

"Lord Ye, leave this to me. I am capable in destroying corpses. I will take care of everything here. You and the lady should go outside and talk." The expert from the Bai Clan said after taking a healing pellet to stabilize his body.

"Alright, then let me take a look, I'll change my clothes and come out."

With that, Ye Zichen returned to the room, wiped off the blood on his body and put on his clothes before walking out of the room with Bai Xiya.

Because the dirt courtyard Ye Chenfeng rented was very remote, there were very few houses around, and coupled with the dense night, the intense battle did not alarm anyone.

"Chen Feng, you must be the one who pretended to be Grandmaster Chen who saved my grandfather." As they walked along the bumpy dirt road, Bai Xiya continuously used her peripheral vision to look at Ye Zichen.

Bai Xiya's face turned slightly red as she looked at his clearly defined profile, which was like a black gemstone staring at her wronged eyes. Her heart thumped in dissatisfaction as she took a deep breath, breaking the silence as she asked.

"Mm, it's me." Ye Chenfeng nodded and did not continue to hide it.

Because at this time, some things could no longer be concealed.

"Then the person who saved Qingxue and me last night was also you, right?" Bai Xiya stopped in her tracks, and looked at Ye Zichen from close by.

"That's right, the person who saved you last night was also me."

"Since it's you, then why didn't you admit it when I first recognized you? When we were saved last night, why did you change your appearance again? " She asked the question in her mind.

"If Qingxue knew that the person who saved her last night was you, she would have definitely changed her view of you. Moreover, if you could treat his grandfather's old injuries, I think the Ji family would definitely agree to your marriage."

"Do you really want to hear the truth?" Ye Chenfeng pondered for a moment, then asked.

"Well, I'd like to hear it. Will you tell me?" Bai Xiya nodded and said.

"Alright, I'll tell you, but you must promise me to keep it a secret and not reveal it to a third person." Ye Chenfeng took a deep breath and warned with a serious tone.

"I swear, if I tell a third person your secret, I will be struck by lightning and die a horrible death." She swore in public.

"Actually, the main reason why I'm hiding all of this is because I'm hiding Ji Qing Xue."

The existence of the Soul Devouring Brain was too heaven-defying. Ye Zichen did not dare to easily reveal it, and could only blame it on Ji Qingxue.

"Hide Qing Xue? Isn't she your fiancée? "Why did you hide it from her?" Bai Xiya asked with a puzzled expression. The curiosity in her heart became even more intense.

"Fiancée?" Ye Chenfeng laughed at himself and said, "That was just for outsiders to see. The relationship between us all originated from a deal."

Ye Zichen told Bai Xiya the whole story in a simple manner.

"How could it be like this? How could she be this willful? Not caring about your safety and using you as a shield, doesn't she know how dangerous this matter is?"

When Bai Xiya found out about the truth, she immediately felt indignant for Ye Chenfeng. She also understood why Ye Chenfeng had kept hiding the secret from her. It was because he was going to be killed for sure.

However, besides being angry, Bai Xiya secretly felt a bit of joy. The way she looked at Ye Zichen became gentler.

"Alright, it's getting late. Let's go back."

Although Ye Zichen could feel her feelings from her eyes, he swore to pursue the Vast Expanse Shrine and practice his supreme divine ability. Thus, he could only give up on his daughter's relationship first.

"Morning Wind, it's best if you don't live in that place anymore. If you don't mind, you can live in my house. My house has a lot of places to live." Bai Xiya invited.

"Thank you, but I'll be going to the White Cloud Mountain Range to cultivate and prepare for the White Emperor Martial Palace's end of year assessment one month from now." Ye Zichen shook his head and tactfully refused Bai Xiya.

"Alright then. If you need anything, feel free to look for me. I will fully support you." Bai Xiya said with a bit of disappointment.

"Alright!" Ye Zichen nodded and agreed.

When the two of them returned to the Earth Department together, the Bai family experts had basically taken care of everything. The blood stains on the floor and walls were completely covered by the dirt, and the corpses of Jiang Shanshui and the others were buried by him.

No one would be able to detect any clues in the courtyard until the thick blood aura drifting in the air completely dissipated.

As he looked at the scene in the yard, Ye Chenfeng was very satisfied. If it was him, he definitely would not be able to do it so well.

"Eldest Miss, it's getting late. Let's go back. We need to quickly tell the City Lord and Old Master Bai about what happened tonight. Tell them to set it up as soon as possible. Only then can we cover up the truth and vent the anger of the Jiang family." When the Bai Clan expert saw the two of them return, he urged them.

"Chen Feng, we'll be leaving first. Take good care of yourself. If you need anything, you must come and find me." Bai Xiya reluctantly said and left with the expert from the Bai Clan.

The moment the two of them left, Ye Zichen immediately packed his luggage, then left his rented earthen courtyard. He stepped into the dark and gloomy White Cloud Mountain Range, preparing to refine the pure soul power in his body and break through into the sixth grade spirit beast.
