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

Chapter 18: Why Is Master Just So Not Obedient?

Mu Chen gave him a disdainful look. His face had the question, "are you an idiot." written all over it. He corrected him, "It's easy to use."

"Martial Uncle is right." Yue Mingze said in an attempt to flatter Mu Chen. He knew that it wouldn't work with Mu Chen, so he nervously asked, "I want to ask, what should be done so that Martial Uncle will be willing to heal Daoist Xing Xuan?"

Mu Chen tilted his head to the side and sized Yue Mingze up. "You want me to save him?"

Yue Mingze earnestly nodded. His foundation within the Sect wasn't very stable. If he didn't grab this chance to be friendly with Ten Thousand Sword Sect, the elders in this Sect might stir up trouble for him again.

Mu Chen nodded with an expressionless face, "Then, bring him here this afternoon. I'll make an exception for you this time."

"Martial Uncle!" Yue Mingze gave Mu Chen an emotional look. Yue Mingze was unsure where to place his hands. He was shocked that Mu Chen made a compromise for him with that personality of his. Yue Mingze's mouth twitched. He wanted to say something, but he was unsure of what to say. Suddenly, a thought suddenly rose in his mind. Without thinking, he asked, "Martial Uncle, you said that you wanted to marry me last time...."

Mu Chen expertly raised his leg and kicked Yue Mingze out of Yanyang Palace. His white robes embellished with a silver pattern gently swayed in a graceful manner with his movements. It carried a noble and elegant aura.

Gu Yunjue raised the stick of pills and felt his heart soften into a complete mess. He really enjoyed how Mu Chen was exclusively gentle to him. Gu Yunjue narrowed his eyes and he readily ate each of the pills.

Under the urging expression of Mu Chen, Gu Yunjue's mouth shook slightly and he smiled. "This is very tasty!"

Gu Yunjue could swear that his little Master didn't even get rid of the fruit's pit. The flavor of the Eon Rattan Fruit's flesh was really delicious, but the pit of the fruit was really bitter. The pill was both bitter and sweet at the same time. It also had that tart taste of medicine. On top of that, the honey used to coat the pill was made by a ghost bee. This gave the pill a slight taste of fishiness. Eating the pill tormented his taste buds. Gu Yunjue braced himself and swallowed the entire stack of pills in one mouthful. He gave Mu Chen the same gentle look as before. As long as his Master made it, even if it was poison, he would still eat it. This pill was not poison, it was just slightly unpalatable. The effect of the pills was pretty good. After eating the pills, Gu Yunjue's meridians that had been hurting a bit from too much spiritual power felt better. Gu Yunjue pulled Mu Chen's hand and praised him. "Master is great! The effect of the pills is really amazing!"

The corner of Mu Chen's lips slightly raised, and Mu Chen gave his disciple a faint smile. His little disciple was becoming more and more considerate. He was unlike that Yue Mingze who would often cry and talk about how disgusting it was when he was young. Yue Mingze really wasn't cute.

It was right at this moment that a special guest was welcomed outside of Yanyang Palace.

Mu Chen had just fed Gu Yunjue until he was full when he heard a dao child telling him that a rather imposing man dressed in black was waiting outside. The dao child also told him that the man had said that his surname was Yu and that he was Palace Master's old friend.

Gu Yunjue silently took the handkerchief out of Mu Chen's hand and wiped his mouth clean. He then gently smiled before asking, "Does Master have a lot of friends?"

Mu Chen shook his head and decided not to bother himself with Gu Yunjue's words. "Let him in," Mu Chen said to the other.

The moment he said that, a black figure landed outside the bamboo forest. He had a tall stature, and his face was a handsome one with a cold and imposing aura. It would take only one look to know that he was a person of high status. A person that was hard to get in touch with. This person was Ten Thousand Sword Sect's Sect Master, Yu Tianyi.

After being invited in, Yu Tianyi did not wait for Mu Chen to speak and led himself to a seat. His eyes swept by Gu Yunjue before settling on Mu Chen. With a low and deep voice, he said, "I know that you like small animals. However, I did not expect you to like children as well."

Mu Chen gave a rather unenthusiastic response, "You're speaking too much nonsense."

If it were anybody else, they wouldn't dare to speak to Yu Tianyi in this manner. Yu Tianyi wouldn't permit anybody else to speak to him in this manner. However, the person who had spoken to him in this manner was Mu Chen. Yu Tianyi was not angry about this, and smiled instead. He felt helpless when it came to Mu Chen's cold attitude. " We haven't seen each other in years, can't you be nicer to me?" Yu Tianyi noticed that Mu Chen was still frowning and sighed. "Where shall we talk?"

Mu Chen handed Gu Yunjue over to Jing Ming, indicating for him to take Gu Yunjue out to play. Gu Yunjue was unhappy about this and held onto Mu Chen's hand with a cold expression on his face. He could tell that Yu Tianyi's attitude towards Mu Chen was a strange one. His Master wanted to be alone with a man. Could the reason why be any clearer? Humph!

Mu Chen reached out to pick Gu Yunjue up by his collar and threw him to Jing Ming. He had to be especially strict to his disobedient little disciple.

Gu Yunjue felt so angry that his face turned a white color.

Once everyone else was sent away, Mu Chen set up a silent boundary before looking at Yu Tianyi. "Are you infected with the cold poison?"

Yu Tianyi was speechless. Mu Chen truly was a direct person. He didn't even start with some small talk.

Mu Chen looked at the expression on the other's face and knew that his guess was correct. "The cold poison is curable. I will tell you the ingredients and you can go prepare them."

Yu Tianyi nodded. The silent atmosphere felt cold. After staying silent for a while longer, Yu Tianyi finally asked, "About the marriage connection I said before...actually...."

Mu Chen rudely finished his sentence, "I know.... It's just for convenience, not for sincerity."

The expression on Yu Tianyi's face froze. His eyes drifted away. He asked somewhat at a loss, "Do you have a grudge with Junior Brother Ji?"

"He's a vicious and merciless hypocrite that would even sell his own flesh for power." Mu Chen picked up the chopsticks that Gu Yunjue used and stabbed the chopsticks into the table. He was in a bad mood.

The atmosphere once again turned silent. Both Mu Chen and Yu Tianyi were people who did not talk much. To get Mu Chen to talk, Yu Tianyi had already worked hard in finding a subject for them to talk about. However, every single topic was cut into an awkward silence with just one sentence from Mu Chen. It was impossible for the conversation to continue.

As for Gu Yunjue, who was taken to the mountains in the back, this awkward scene did not appear in his mind. A smile appeared on his face even though the expression in his eyes turned into a cold one. His desire for Mu Chen was already beyond his imagination. It was becoming an obsession. When Gu Yunjue thought about Mu Chen showing his happiness to others, he wanted to isolate Mu Chen from the outside world. He also felt the urge to kill others. The type of an uncontrollable feeling almost made it hard for Gu Yunjue to restrain his thoughts. His eyes also had a sheen of a bloody red color on them.

My dear Master, why aren't you obedient?
