Long Yu confronts Zhao Yue and Lin Bai, demanding entry to the Dragon Pool and accusing Zhao Yue of infidelity. Lin Ye easily dispatches Long Yu. Lin Bai then confronts Zhao Yue about her relationship with Long Yu and her plans using Ye Suxin's body. Zhao Yue reveals her month-long manipulation of Long Yu was to enter the Dragon Pool and mocks Lin Bai's lost cultivation, challenging him to enter the pool on his own.

After Lin Bai walked out of Zhao Yue’s room, his expression remained somber.

Sitting on the threshold, holding the carved Wooden Sword, his gaze revealed deep contemplation.

But until late at Night, Long Yu seemingly did not come to cause trouble again.

The moon hung high in the sky, Lin Bai initially planned to return to his room to rest, but the instant he rose, he abruptly lifted his head and looked towards the Bright Moon in the sky.

In front of the Bright Moon, there was the Shadow of a person.

That Shadow seemed to be watching Lin Bai.

Lin Bai gazed at the Shadow above the Bright Moon and was dumbfounded.

"Lin Ye, I’m going out for a walk, you stay home and mind the Family!" Lin Bai spoke with a somber expression before stepping out the door.

Deep in the calm Night, Lin Bai walked alone on the deserted streets within the Qinglong Clan.

It seemed Lin Bai knew where he wanted to go.

After walking several streets, Lin Bai exited the Qinglong Clan and entered the forest outside the tribe.

Within the forest, Lin Bai quickly saw a flame burning in the darkness ahead, and there appeared to be a man sitting beside the fire.

Lin Bai immediately walked over, and before he got close, he spoke, "Senior Long Huihuang invited me late at night, I wonder what the purpose is?"

As soon as Lin Bai finished speaking, he was already beside the fire.

Beside the fire, roasting a beast leg, was the Middle-aged Man, surprisingly the Clan Leader of the Qinglong Clan, who was Long Beibei’s father, Long Huihuang!

When Lin Bai saw the Shadow above the Bright Moon earlier, a sound transmission flew into Lin Bai’s ear, informing him to seek Long Huihuang in the forest outside the Qinglong Clan.

"You’ve arrived," Long Huihuang said with a faint smile, "Sit down!"

Lin Bai walked over and sat by the fire, watching the succulent beast leg emitting an alluring fragrance.

Long Huihuang chuckled lightly, "A long time ago, Beibei’s mother and I enjoyed sitting in the forest, basking in the Glow of the Bright Moon, and roasting our favorite beast leg!"

Long Huihuang spoke with a calm smile as he watched the beast leg slowly roasting on the fire.

Lin Bai curiously asked, "I haven’t heard Long Beibei talk about his mother much, but he speaks of you frequently during this time!"

Long Huihuang said, "Her mother has already dead."

Lin Bai said expressionlessly, "Sorry."

Long Huihuang shook his head, saying, "On the Night Beibei was born, his mother passed away!"

"Someone entered the delivery room and killed her!"

Lin Bai frowned and looked at Long Huihuang, saying, "This is..."

Long Huihuang shook his head and said, "To this day I do not know who took action, and why harm a woman in labor!"

"The one Taking Action was an elderly woman in the delivery room, a killer disguised herself this way, she killed everyone in the delivery room!"

"When we discovered the discrepancy in the delivery room and entered inside, we only saw the floor covered with Corpses and Beibei soaked in blood!"

"And that Assassin vanished afterward."

"For years, I have been chasing the trace of this female Assassin, but to no avail!"

Long Huihuang said casually.

Lin Bai nodded slightly, saying, "You are the direct lineage of the Qinglong Clan, the delivery room naturally would be at the core of the Qinglong Clan, there aren’t many who can enter the core!"

Long Huihuang nodded, he seemed to understand the implication behind Lin Bai’s words.

Immediately Long Huihuang said, "Forget it, let’s not talk about that, I invited you tonight for another matter!"

Lin Bai said, "Feel free to tell!"

Long Huihuang said, "I want you to teach Long Beibei Sword Skill so that he defeats Long Yu in the duel one and a half months later!"

"Of course, in return, I will let you enter the Dragon Pool!"

Long Huihuang spoke frankly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai’s lips gradually curled into a faint smile: "It seems Senior Long Huihuang understands my purpose in coming to the Qinglong Clan?"

Long Huihuang appeared calm, saying: "I didn’t know initially!"

"I was just as curious, how an impressive Sword Cultivator like you could be a mere mortal with no Cultivation?"

"But today, I saw Long Yu and that woman arrive outside your dwelling!"

"I heard their conversation!"

"At that moment, I understood!"

"That woman asked Long Yu to give her the Opportunity to enter the Dragon Pool, and that Opportunity was naturally meant for you."

Long Huihuang said with a faint smile.

"If that’s the case, then things are simple. If you are confident that Beibei can defeat Long Yu in a month and a half, I will give you the Opportunity to enter the Dragon Pool!"

Long Huihuang said directly.

Lin Bai asked with a smile, "Do you mean what you say?"

Long Huihuang said, "My word is my bond!"

"Alright, I agree!" Lin Bai chuckled.

Long Huihuang asked, "Are you confident?"

Lin Bai laughed, "As for Long Yu, defeating him is a piece of cake!"

Long Huihuang laughed, "It’s best to hear you so confident, these one and a half months, I will let Beibei come to you for Cultivation every day, if you require anything, the Qinglong Clan will do its best to accommodate!"

Lin Bai nodded and said, "Thank you!"

Long Huihuang laughed and said, "The beast leg is roasted, would you like some?"

Lin Bai shook his head and said, "No, I think I will go back, and think carefully about what to teach Long Beibei!"

"Farewell!"

After speaking, Lin Bai turned and left the forest.

After Lin Bai left, a Middle-aged Man slowly emerged behind Long Huihuang, looking in the direction where Lin Bai departed, he said softly, "Brother, do you really believe he has the means to make Beibei grow to the point of defeating Long Yu in a month and a half?"

Long Huihuang chuckled softly, "Now, besides trusting him, do we have another way?"

"Besides, I believe his background isn’t that simple!"

"I have already dispatched the Shadow Department to investigate!"

"I believe it won’t be long before we receive feedback!"

"Such an outstanding Sword Cultivator, in the Southern Continent, is definitely not a simple figure!"

Long Huihuang spoke calmly.

Returning to the Qinglong Clan, Lin Bai stood in the courtyard, his eyes reflecting contemplation.

Unconsciously, the Night passed.

Early the next morning, Zhao Yue walked out of the room and saw Lin Bai standing in the courtyard.

Zhao Yue did not leave her dwelling today either, but sat at the stone table drinking tea.

The two met, but did not greet each other.

After a wait, Long Beibei climbed over the wall, looking at Lin Bai with a smile, "Master, I’ve arrived!"

Hearing Long Beibei’s voice, Lin Bai, who was contemplating, came back to his senses, looked at Long Beibei, then turned and walked to the threshold, and sat down.

At this moment, Lin Bai looked seriously at Long Beibei and said, "Come here, kneel down!"
