At this time.

More than ten elderly men with somber expressions emerged from the void.

"Where is he?" the leading white-robed elder asked in a deep voice.

With a flick of his robe, He Yaowu caused the void to ripple, and Su Bai's figure appeared.

He was immersed in a sealed glass tank, and his external injuries had healed.

However, the aura was extremely faint, and it was impossible to detect without careful examination.

"Everyone, let's make a move."

The old man in white robes took out a Ganoderma lucidum that exuded rich spiritual energy.

The other elders nodded in agreement and each took out an item.

Without exception, they were all rare and precious materials nurtured by the revival of spiritual energy.

"This brat really has a lot of influence," He Yaowu said.

"He deserves it."

The white-robed elder gave a soft shout and waved his hand, unleashing the power of the world, which quickly melted the Ganoderma lucidum in his hand into a medicinal liquid.

The other elderly men were the same.

Whoosh!

With a wave of his hand, the white-robed elder injected a liquid formed from numerous rare and precious materials into Su Bai's body at the same time.

Visibly, a touch of color returned to his pale face at that moment.

The old man in white robes breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

"My life was saved, but my cultivation is gone."

"Moreover, if there is a problem with the dantian, it will be as difficult as ascending to heaven to return to the martial arts path."

"Even someone as strong as you can't do anything?" He Yaowu took a deep drag on his cigarette.

The group of elderly men shook their heads.

“Given his current condition, he is no longer suitable to stay in the eastern border war zone. I need to take him back to the interior to find some feasible solutions.”

The white-robed elder said in an unquestionable tone.

“He is my apprentice. If you want to take him away, you can, but after he wakes up, I hope you will respect his choice.”

“He wants to come back here, and you must not stop him. If I hear any news that someone is forcibly keeping him in the mainland, or that someone is trying to target him, I cannot guarantee what I might do.”

“He Yaowu, Commander-in-Chief of the Eastern Border Theater, watch your words!” an old man said solemnly.

“I’ve always been very careful.”

He Yaowu straightened his suit and smiled.

"But if something happens to him, I will be very sad. When I'm sad, I tend to act recklessly, and if I'm in a bad mood, I might offend a lot of people."

"Don't think I'm joking. I'm an honest person and I never joke. Besides, what I'm saying certainly includes everyone here."

"I would like to apologize to everyone in advance, so that I won't have to say anything more if I offend anyone in the future."

"you!"

The old man's expression tightened; he seemed to want to say something, but nothing came out.

"He's got a temper; no wonder he's the Commander-in-Chief of the Eastern Border Theater."

The old man in white robes laughed.

"I am Bai Mofeng, the chief tutor of the Imperial Capital Academy. I originally wanted to take Su Bai as my apprentice, but I didn't expect that Su Bai has already become your apprentice. You are lucky."

"I assure you here that as long as I, Bai Mofeng, am alive, no one will dare to lay a finger on Su Bai. What do you say?"

“I naturally believe Elder Bai’s words,” He Yaowu said.

"Also, if it's convenient, I'd like to ask you a personal question."

"It's not very convenient."

"Since you've put it that way, then I'll have no choice but to ask."

Bai Mofeng smiled.

"I'd like to ask if you mind if Su Bai has another master?"

"..."

He Yaowu's lips twitched.

He pondered for a moment, then smiled.

"If you can really get Su Bai to become your apprentice, then I have no objection."

“It’s a deal,” Bai Mofeng said.
