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

Chapter 26: The Fine and Elegant Youth That Surprises All

Translator: DragonRider

Mu Chen pulled a long face and thought to himself: "As expected, I should never let my little disciple out of my sight. The slightest negligence and he was led astray. If those two nasty boys, Jing Ming and Xiao Liu didn't incite him, how would my little disciple stir up trouble?"

"Jing Ming! Go run one hundred laps around Lofty Cloud Sect!"

"One hundred..." Jing Ming looked frustrated and sulkily pointed at Gu Yunjue. "It was him! He, he..."

Gu Yunjue blankly blinked and foolishly tilted his head. "Ah?"

Jing Ming stared at Gu Yunjue's little nose, little eyes and little bean like face for quite a while before angrily stamping his feet and leaving in a huff. He mumbled to himself as he walked, "Lofty Cloud Sect is so big that it'll take me two months to run one hundred laps. Palace Master, you changed. You've never treated me like this before. You must have found some other..."

Jing Ting lifted his leg and kicked hard at his younger brother's bottom, sending him far away like a pouncing squirrel that whooshed immediately out of sight. The last time his stupid brother brought Gu Yunjue out, they got lost. This time was far worse beyond the reasonable limits, they went to steal fish! Jing Ting was livid. What a retarded younger brother!

Gu Yunjue pulled at Mu Chen's sleeves and stared unblinkingly with obsession at the speckled flush on Mu Chen's fair cheek caused by anger. Ever since he realized his love for the Master, he felt like being possessed by some sort of devil. He just couldn't bear to stand a minute without his Master in sight and even the slightest expression of his Master could make his heart skip a beat.

This body was indeed young; however, Gu Yunjue wasn't anxious. He had enough time to stay by his Master and ensnare him into the snares of love so that he would never be able to escape.

Mu Chen looked down at Gu Yunjue, only to find he smiling so satisfactorily to an annoying degree. Overtaken by somewhat inexplicable anger, he lifted the little kid and gave him a sound spanking.

You nasty little kid! How could you secretly laugh at your playmate's bad luck? Such a behavior can never be spoiled.

Never had Mu Chen expected that Gu Yunjue would always be easily "incited" in the next ten years. Once out of sight, his little disciple would go make trouble with several other nasty boys. This made Mu Chen dare not to neglect his education on Gu Yunjue for a single moment to the point of keeping this kid by his side at all times.

Ten years was but a brief moment in the long life of a cultivator. However, Mu Chen had lived this decade much fuller than the previous hundred years he had.

My little disciple grows even more clinging as he gets older, is this also the case for other kids? Should I do anything about it?

Every ten years, Lofty Cloud Sect would open its doors to accept disciples. Now was the time again and the outer disciples who passed the trial had already been taken away, leaving only a dozen fortunate inner disciples who kneeled in the great hall waiting for the sect master to decide where they could go.

In the first row of seats for six palace masters, Yue Mingze was sitting upright with his usual cold face, Duanmu Feng was dozing off with one hand propping his head, Mo Jinyang and Bai Xunrong, as always, were chatting merrily with each other. On the sixth seat sat Liu Hanzhi with a sword in hand and a murderous air around him. The fifth seat empty like it had always been.

Jin Moyang sized up these young disciples and said to Bai Xunrong, "Their aptitudes are great. There's even a mutated ice spiritual root and his aptitude won't lose to Fu Haolong's."
