If he hadn’t recognized him and rashly stood up for Bahu Ye, offending the other party to death, that would indeed be a loss greater than the gain.
With these thoughts in mind, his attitude toward Bahu Ye became even colder.
This Bahu Ye, he’s too arrogant. He really thought, as if still in the Level-8 Civilization Star Domain, that since he had been to the Immortal Origin Holy Land and knew a few people, he was something extraordinary that everyone would yield to him?
He chuckled in his heart.
He decided to ignore this matter and let Bahu Ye face the consequences on his own.
"So be it." Bahu Ye took a deep breath and gave a faint nod.

He had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, witnessed countless events, good and bad. And frankly, he did decipher some insights into Ao Hai’s mentality.
However, their interactions were typically minimal and given his counterpart’s prominent status and power, he preferred not to jeopardize their relationship haphazardly.
But... his disappointment in Ao Hai’s behavior that day could not be overlooked.
He found himself recalling Lin Yun’s attitude towards friends, and when compared with Ao Hai, they seemed to be worlds apart.
He scoffed at himself, thinking, it’s better to be without this kind of friend.
"Brother Lin..." Bahu Ye turned around, looked at Lin Yun, with a face full of remorse.
He had initially wished to call someone over to lend them a hand, much to his surprise, the person he had summoned ended up causing a bit of embarrassment and he felt utterly guilty.
"Brother Bahu, there’s no need to say more. You’re not to blame for this," Lin Yun said, shaking his head slightly.
He was no fool, he perceived the subtle emotions that Ao Hai did not deliberately conceal in his words.
He realized that this Ao Hai was not someone with whom a relationship could be established, he was not sincerely supportive, and yet, this was not something that Bahu Ye could control.
Bahu Ye had genuinely meant well.
"Hmph!"
Seeing the words Bahu Ye spoke to him and the conversation with Lin Yun, Ao Hai snorted with increased dissatisfaction.
In his eyes, Bahu Ye and Lin Yun’s conversation seemed to mock him.
However, just a moment ago, Bahu Ye was his friend, but now he was estranged. Caught off balance, he didn’t know what to say.
"Er, Senior Ao Hai, I need to leave for other business and won’t stay here any longer." On the other side, Master Thirteen, whose mind had been clouded by the conversation between Ao Hai and Lin Yun’s group, just came to his senses. He looked at Ao Hai, slightly bowed, and said with an embarrassed expression.
He didn’t expect Ao Hai to sever ties with Bahu Ye.
However, even if Ao Hai didn’t turn on him, Lin Yun’s power was too strong, and he couldn’t stay here any longer.
More importantly, he was concerned about Lin Yun’s background.
He speculated that there may be a significant force behind Lin Yun.
Once he returned, he would definitely investigate.
Regardless, before digging into the background of Lin Yun, he dared not provoke Lin Yun again.
This incident was so serious he didn’t even dare tell his family’s high-ranking members.
What if Lin Yun did have a powerful background? Then his provocation would be seen as a big mistake.
Consequently, his words were tinged with a hint of fear.
He was fearful that Lin Yun would not let this issue lie and would refuse to let him leave.
If that were the case, his group had no means of resistance. In desperation, he would have to report this incident to his family’s high-ranking members which could blow things out of proportion.
If Lin Yun didn’t have a powerful background, it would be fine. If he did, the first one to suffer would be him.
"Hmm?"
Seeing Xiao Thirteen speaking in that manner, Ao Hai frowned slightly.
As a half-step Super Warrior, his perception was very keen; he naturally sensed the hint of fear in Xiao Thirteen’s voice.
But, he was somewhat confused.
What exactly happened just now?
He had reassessed Xiao Thirteen’s power just now. Although he was in the late phase of Level-12, he should have the strength of a Level-12 peak cultivator, similar to Bahu Ye’s power.
However, that was all there was.
Xiao Thirteen’s group included two late Level-12 cultivators and four mid-Level-12 cultivators. Adding them together, their collective strength was not to be underestimated.
They were clearly wounded by someone else.
How had Bahu Ye managed to injure Xiao Thirteen and his group to this extent?
Could he have used some special means?
Like a powerful artifact, formidable scientific weaponry, or a potent formation, etc.
He hadn’t thought that it was Lin Yun who was responsible.
He was able to clearly discern Lin Yun’s realm at a glance. He was just in the mid-Level-12.
He couldn’t believe someone at Lin Yun’s level could have injured Xiao Thirteen and his group so severely.
Even if Lin Yun practiced martial arts, it wouldn’t be enough. Read latest stories on freewebnovel
"Wait." Seeing that Xiao Thirteen’s group was about to leave, Ao Hai quickly said.
He was planning to use Xiao Thirteen as an opportunity to establish a good relationship with the half-step Super Warrior behind him. How could he achieve his goal if Xiao Thirteen left just like that?
With this thought, he decisively gritted his teeth.
"Bahu... Ye, Thirteen is a junior to my friend, although he was wrong to intrude on your practice area, you’ve injured him. Don’t you think you owe him an explanation?" Ao Hai looked at Bahu Ye with a cold look and asked.
"What?" Bahu Ye looked at Ao Hai incredulously, and his heart became ever colder.
Xiao Thirteen was already about to leave, and Ao Hai... this friend he had just invited over, actually wanted to find trouble with them voluntarily?
"Heh..." Bahu Ye chuckled.
At this moment, he finally understood his friend’s intention.
