This place holds his childhood memories; every step feels like stepping on the strings of a musical instrument, playing out the little things from his childhood.

As he walked, he reminisced about the laughter, tears, and time spent with his family, which played out before his eyes like a movie.

As he walked, he suddenly noticed an unusual noise coming from the center of the courtyard.

His gaze was drawn to the sound, which also aroused his intense curiosity. After all, the Ye family had been abandoned for more than ten years! Why would anyone come? So he immediately used his lightness skill and quickly rushed towards the direction from which the sound came.

When he arrived, he saw Baili Dongjun burning money to worship his parents in the courtyard. His heart was immediately enveloped by a warm feeling. Without hesitation, he flew forward and floated in front of Baili Dongjun.

At this moment, Baili Dongjun was kneeling on one knee, earnestly burning paper money.

Suddenly, he felt something drifting towards him.

Then he noticed a pair of feet in front of him.

Baili Dongjun was so frightened he almost wet himself, collapsing to the ground with a thud, his face as pale as paper, letting out a gasp:

"Holy crap, there's a ghost!"

Looking at Baili Dongjun, who was trembling and sitting on the ground in fear, Ye Dingzhi couldn't help but find it both amusing and helpless, and teased him:

"No way! He's someone who can use the Western Chu Sword Song, how can he be so cowardly?"

Sitting on the ground, Baili Dongjun heard the familiar voice and looked over, only to find that the person who had just floated over was Ye Ding.

My tense nerves finally relaxed a little, but I still couldn't help but complain:

"Wow! Brother Yun, you dare say you didn't just float over? Don't you know that scaring people can be terrifying!"

Ye Dingzhi listened to Baili Dongjun's complaints and a slightly embarrassed smile appeared on his face.

After all, he had indeed used his lightness skill to float over, and he knew Baili Dongjun's current situation well, as his ability to perceive the surrounding environment was poor.

However, he did not intend to frighten Baili Dongjun.

Therefore, Ye Dingzhi quickly apologized to Baili Dongjun and explained:

"Okay! Sorry! I forgot, you're only a master when you're drunk."

Baili Dongjun didn't actually mean to blame Ye Dingzhi; he was just startled by the sudden appearance of the figure and made a casual remark.

Seeing Ye Dingzhi's sincere attitude, his dissatisfaction had long since vanished.

Waving his hand, he said:

"Brother Yun, I didn't mean to blame you. By the way, Brother Yun, what brings you to Tianqi City? Are you here to take the academy's grand exam too?"

Upon hearing Baili Dongjun's words, Ye Dingzhi pondered to himself.

If I tell Baili Dongjun that my purpose in coming here is to assassinate the King of Qing, it may bring him unnecessary trouble and danger.

After all, assassinating a prince who has been granted the title of king in the current dynasty is an extremely serious matter with unimaginable consequences.

Therefore, he decided to keep this secret to avoid involving the innocent Baili Dongjun.

However, Ye Dingzhi was not too worried about whether it would implicate his master Yushengmo and senior brother Yutian.

Only after truly mastering the Immortal Demon Sword Technique can one deeply appreciate the immense power of one's master and senior brothers.

The two of them were like immortals, extraordinary and detached from worldly affairs, and fearless of any challenge.

Even if the Northern Li Dynasty wanted to cause trouble, it would probably be difficult to shake them in the slightest.

Thinking of this, Ye Dingzhi couldn't help but smile, and confidently replied:

"I did originally intend to take the school's major exam."

However, as far as I know, apart from the first young master who has never shown his face, the other seven of the Eight Young Masters of Beili seem to be nothing more than small fry from the Free and Easy Realm.

Upon hearing this, Baili Dongjun's mouth dropped open in astonishment.

The phrase "little piece of trash in the Free Land" was particularly unbelievable to him:

"Wow! Brother Yun, why do you talk in the exact same way as Brother Yu? It's so annoying!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Dingzhi's body trembled, and the terrifying power of the Ninth Heaven Realm of the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm instantly erupted as he slowly said:

"Sigh! I worked hard for more than a month before finally breaking through to the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm. My aptitude is really terrible."

Baili Dongjun sensed the powerful aura emanating from Ye Dingzhi, and his heart surged once more. He exclaimed in shock:

"Wow! No way! Brother Yun, you've broken through to the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm."

How could it be so fast! Weren't you only at the Free Realm when we were at the Sword Forest Tournament?

"How come you've already entered the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm after only about a month?"

Ye Dingzhi looked at Baili Dongjun, whose face was full of shock, and the corners of his mouth slightly turned up. Then he slowly withdrew his aura, tilted his head back, waved his hand, and said in a nonchalant manner:

"Alas! My aptitude is really too poor. I only managed to break through by chance because I grasped a trace of the Demonic Style that my senior brother taught me."

Looking at Ye Dingzhi, who was putting on airs like the wind, Baili Dongjun couldn't help but sigh inwardly:

"Damn, birds of a feather flock together! These two brothers are both exceptionally talented at showing off!"

Although Baili Dongjun found Ye Dingzhi's boasting somewhat annoying, he wasn't jealous. On the contrary, he was happy for Ye Dingzhi's breakthrough to the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm.

Then, thinking that he would soon be able to become a disciple of the world's number one master, he instantly felt his back straighten up again.

So he said, "Brother Yun, don't get too cocky!"

"I'll soon be able to become a disciple of the world's number one martial arts master; who knows who'll be even more powerful in the future?"

Chapter 50: Baili Dongjun Feels Being Number One in the World Isn't So Great Anymore

Ye Dingzhi looked at the smug Baili Dongjun and said calmly:

"Oh! The best in the world! Excellent! Excellent!"

Upon hearing Ye Dingzhi's approval, Baili Dongjun was secretly delighted.

"Hehe, Brother Yun has finally realized that I'm about to become the disciple of the world's number one master. He'll definitely look at me with new respect!"

However, Ye Dingzhi continued calmly from the previous sentence:

"I feel that I can only fight three of the world's number one disciples. If I fight more than that, it will probably be a draw."

These words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Baili Dongjun's head, instantly turning his smug expression into something more like crying.

Baili Dongjun secretly felt annoyed:

"Yeah! Damn it, even the disciples under that number one old man are a bit weak compared to Brother Yun!"

Moreover, Brother Yun is only one year older than me, yet he has already broken through to the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm.

Brother Yu even broke through to the Free Realm at the age of seven.

In comparison, the old man, who is considered the best in the world at teaching, is nowhere near as good as Yun Ge's master, Yu Sheng Mo!

Thinking of this, Baili Dongjun suddenly felt that becoming the disciple of the world's number one old man was no longer attractive.

He immediately walked up to Ye Dingzhi, his face full of flattery, and said:

"Brother Yun, does your master still accept apprentices? I'd like to become your master's apprentice too."

Ye Dingzhi was quite surprised and astonished to see Baili Dongjun's fawning expression.

He muttered to himself, "What on earth happened? It's only been a month, how did my little brother become like this?"

So he couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Brother, are you alright?"

Baili Dongjun quickly shook his head, indicating that he was fine.

Then he continued, "Brother Yun, you don't know this! I have a girl I admire, but I'll only be qualified to marry her after I become famous."

But you also know my current situation. If I want to become famous, I definitely need a master to teach me.

Seeing that someone like you, who was raised by your master with such carefree attitude, has actually been able to break through to the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm, I am truly envious!

If I could become your disciple, I estimate that after just one year of instruction, my strength would be no less than that of the current Eighth Prince of Beili.

By then, I will be famous throughout the world.

So, Brother Yun, could you please ask your master for my sake, for the sake of my future happiness?

Besides, I'm born with a martial vein just like you fellow disciples! It's not shameful for you to accept me as a disciple.

Upon hearing Baili Dongjun's words, Ye Dingzhi was also moved, feeling that there was indeed some truth to them.

However, he himself could not make the decision on this matter, so he could only look at Baili Dongjun with a troubled expression and say:

"Brother, it's not that I'm unwilling to help, it's just that I have no say in this matter!"

However, I think if you really want to become an apprentice, you might want to try asking my senior brother.

After all, he grew up by his master's side since he was a child. If he's willing to speak up for you, it'll probably only take a word or two.

Upon hearing Ye Dingzhi's suggestion, Baili Dongjun's eyes flashed with surprise, and he quickly nodded in agreement.

He said excitedly, "Yes, yes! What Brother Yun said makes so much sense! In that case, why don't you come back to Jixia Academy with me, Brother Yun!"

"Brother Yu is there now, and he happens to live in the same courtyard as me!" After saying that, he eagerly pulled Ye Dingzhi along.

Upon hearing that his younger brother was living in the same courtyard as his senior brother, Ye Dingzhi gladly accepted Baili Dongjun's invitation.

We went back to Jixia Academy together.
