Chapter 96 - Spirit Master Bai Ze (2/2)

Yi Feng laughed awkwardly, “Heh heh… Sect Master Shen, please don’t mind him. Spirit… he doesn’t usually interact with other people, so…”

“Does he have social phobia?”

“Huh? Ah!” What the heck is a social phobia? “I guess… so?” Yi Feng nodded so that Shen Ying would stop questioning him further.

“Oh,” so that’s the reason. She nodded and stopped asking questions. She turned to study the mess in front of them and changed the topic, “Boss Yi, where are we headed next?”

“Well…” Yi Feng subconsciously glanced at the white figure beside him and quickly looked away. He had no choice but to try talking to the man. “Thank you, Spirit Master, for your help earlier. The two of us have to continue exploring the Mirage Sea to search for spirit beasts. I wonder if…”

He waited for a moment, then a cold voice said, “Go.”

“Eh? Spirit Master, do you mean… you will come with us?”

“… Yes.”

“But… but…” Yi Feng could not believe his ears. “We would not dare to trouble you with such a small matter, Spirit Master. The Mirage Sea may be dangerous, but we rarely come across such high-level beasts like the Cloud-Bearing Beast. Don’t worry, Spirit Master. Moreover, it won’t be convenient to reveal your identity. Why not….”

Before Yi Feng finished speaking, the white figure flew forward. Yi Feng only heard, “Follow!”

“…” Has Spirit Master always been this passionate?

Everything felt strangely surreal to Yi Feng. He quickly drew his flying sword and almost forgot about Shen Ying. “Sect Master Shen, do you want to come along?”

“Alright, thanks,” Shen Ying climbed atop the sword.

The group of three flew out of the island, with Yi Feng following about five feet behind Bai Ze, hardly able to contain his excitement. With his Spirit Master around, they would not have to worry about even higher level beasts like the Cloud-Bearing Beasts. Suddenly, he could not wait to find the remaining spirit beasts.

A while later…

“Boss Yi, what is a Spirit Master?” Shen Ying suddenly asked.

Yi Feng lost his footing on the sword and nearly fell off of it. His heart stopped as he turned around stiffly. Damn it, she heard.

“Spirit… Masters are… a special greeting used by people from my Yi Family,” Yi Feng forced a smile.

“Oh,” Shen Ying nodded. “What identity does he have to hide?”

Yi Feng lost his footing once again and his bottom really slipped off the sword this time. He caught himself after a while and turned to Shen Ying in disbelief, “How… how did you know?”

“Didn’t you say it yourself earlier?” Shen Ying asked candidly.

“…” What did I say?

“Could it be…” Shen Ying scratched her head as if she thought of something, “Were you trying to whisper?”

“…”

“Hmm, your mouth didn’t move…”

“…”

“Is it too late to act like I didn’t hear anything?”

“…” Yi Feng wished he could die at that moment.

How exactly did you hear messages sent through voice transmission?
