The Daily Task of Preventing My Disciple from Turning to the Dark Side

Chapter 17: I Have Always Been Here

Mu Chen was reminded that his disciple was still here. He was right here.

The battle was interrupted by this single line from Gu Yunjue's mouth. Ji Qingyuan's face looked ashen. All he could do was glare at Mu Chen once he withdrew. If he dared to do something to Mu Chen or to Lofty Cloudy Sect, even Yu Tianyi would not agree. The only thing that he could do was break his fangs and swallow his anger down. The hatred that he was unable to suppress casted a dull grey sheen on his face. The slight twitching of his face and the malice on it proved that he had not resigned from this. Tomorrow, they had to visit Lofty Cloudy Sect and request for Mu Chen to treat Elder Xing Xuan. That meant that he still had to stretch his face out for Mu Chen to beat it again. How could he bear this anger?!

Ji Qingyuan then thought of the timing that Yu Tianyi had used to send him here. Thus, getting him involved with Mu Chen whom he had never met before and had no reason to fight against. Ji Qingyuan's mind was deep and calculating. He naturally started to overthink about it. Perhaps Yu Tianyi sensed his bad deeds and wanted to use Mu Chen to kill him?!

Ji Qingyuan had lived under Yu Tianyi's famous reputation for the past hundreds of years. He was good at observing others and establishing social relations. Fifty years ago, he had planned the death of Yu Tianyi's sole disciple by borrowing the devil realm. Thus, he was able to gain the opportunity of being in charge of Ten Thousand Sword Sect. If the other knew that he was the one who harmed his disciple.... Ji Qingyuan felt a flicker of fear at this moment.

Right at this moment, Gu Yunjue hooked his finger and some devil qi quietly attached to Ji Qingyuan's body. It was like he was laying a devil seed. As long as the seed had enough nutrients, then it will break out of its shell and grow. He believed that someone like Ji Qingyuan did not lack the potential to enter into devil cultivation. If Master were to kill him now, then he would end up attracting trouble to himself. This was also something that Ten Thousand Sword Sect would not allow to happen. His little Master was too kind. Sometimes killing others did not need to be done through your own hands. When you want to take revenge, sometimes killing someone on the spot was the kindest way of handling it. Therefore, his Master should leave these kinds of matters for him to handle.

It was obvious that Mu Chen did not know what his clever little disciple was doing under everyone's noses. Mu Chen felt regretful that he was unable to kill others in front of his little disciple. He couldn't chop Ji Qingyuan down. Mu Chen felt very sullen about this fact.

Mu Chen floated down towards Gu Yunjue. His black hair freely flowed and created an arc due to the fact that he wasn't wearing a crest in his hair. Mu Chen lowered his head and held onto Gu Yunjue's hand. Mu Chen did not speak, nor did he feel any desire to explain himself. He merely raised his feet and walked away.

Ji Qingyuan used his sword to separate the two. He coldly smiled, "Elder Mu comes as he pleases and leaves as he pleases. Did you just come here to humiliate this one?"

Mu Chen nodded his head, "Yes."

There was a small number of people that stayed behind to watch the whole spectacle. They all had spiritual power and did not fear getting injured. They all felt that things took an interesting turn once they heard Mu Chen's honesty.

"Pfft!" A young man dressed in a magnificent purple robe laughed out loud from inside of a teahouse across from them. The man had a handsome face with thin lips, and curved peach blossom eyes. Gu Yunjue raised his head to give that man a glance. Gu Yunjue noticed the man wave at him before speaking in a coquettish voice, "Your Master is interesting. Make sure to watch over him and don't lose him.

Gu Yunjue held onto Mu Chen's hand as if he hadn't heard him. The Master and Disciple pair both left as if they were out taking a stroll. The small back of Gu Yunjue looked indescribably calm.
