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

Chapter 31

The child cultivators looked at him gingerly. When they saw Mu Chen pick the herb up, they all held their breath nervously. And when they found him put it down, they let out a sign of relief. Then Mu Chen picked the herb again, and they felt hard to breathe one more time. What an infinite loop...

Finally, being watched by all those anxious child cultivators, Mu Chen bit a piece of the herb leaf. Seeing him chewing the herb with no expression on his face to feel the pesticide effect cautiously, some of the child cultivators turned completely pale——'Our Grand Master, please bless the Master!' The child cultivators prayed that secretly.

The moment Gu Yunjue came back he found Mu Chen tasting the medicine again. Then with sullen look in his eyes, Gu Yunjue fell by the side of Mu Chen directly. Then he grabbed the half-eaten herb in Mu Chen's hand, sending out a rigorous signal when he was not smiling, and said, "Don't eat that anymore. Someday you'll get sick by tasting those things!"

Mu Chen grumbled impatiently. This disciple had surely grown up and even dared to discipline his Master. However, Mu Chen wrinkled his nose and after detecting a woman's floral fragrance from Gu Yunjue, he pulled a long face right away, asking with displeasure, "Where have you been?" He realized he had to keep this disobedient disciple in his sight. 'How dare he fool around with a woman! What if one day...' Mu Chen began to picture the scene of his little disciple and an ugly girl kneeling before him with a baby while asking him to perform the marriage for them. Suddenly Mu Chen felt suffocated. Damn it!

Gu Yunjue had figured out why Mu Chen was mad after several times of his sudden mood shifts. It seemed that as long as Gu Yuejue got in touch with a woman, his Master would be irritated. Did it mean that Mu Chen was being jealous? Was it possible that his Master had a thing for him in his last life? And that was why Mu Chen would keep Gu Yunjue by his side and doted on him after the time had been reversed?

Mu Chen felt that there seemed to be starlight in his little disciple's eyes. The ardent gaze of Gu Yunjue nearly pierced Mu Chen's soul. Then Mu Chen raised his hand in a bad mood and patted Gu Yuejue's charming face. How could a disciple look at his Master with such a fiery gaze! He deserved the spank! "Answer my question, where have you been?"

Gu Yunjue covered his forehead which was beaten red, explaining with a smile, "I've met my fourth senior sister. So I spent a little time there."

Mu Chen frowned. 'Stupid you. Why are you so happy after being beaten? What have you done with the female cultivator in the Hongxiu Palace? You little lecher! I should beat you more!'

Seeing Mu Chen raising his hand again, Gu Yuejue grabbed Mu Chen's finger immediately. The warm touch from the fingertip made Gu Yuejue's heart quiver. Then he found that although Mu Chen still glared at him with a cold face, his Master had no intention to dump his hand. So Gu Yunjue moved his fingers up slowly until he grabbed Mu Chen's hand. After that, he put a dragon design ring in Mu Chen's hand. The black dragon pattern had a silver rim around, which looked modest and luxury with golden halo around. Mu Chen recognized that the ring was a precious piece at a glance. Then he heard Gu Yunjue saying, "Actually I have asked fourth senior sister to do me a favor. I had personally asked third senior brother to smelt a ring for me but he didn't agree no matter how I pleaded. So I could only ask fourth senior sister to make a request."

On these words, he held Mu Chen's hand and put the ring on his finger toughly, "Don't take it off, all right Master?"

Mu Chen didn't know how to react now, asking, "Why do you want to present me this?" Gu Yuejue always gave some little gifts to his Master. There were big or small ones of all kinds. Sometimes Gu Yunjue purchased the gifts and sometimes he just made the gift himself. There had been one time he had found a beautiful leaf on the back hill when practicing swordplay. Then he had picked it up and brought it back to his Master. Now he even presented a ring to Mu Chen this time. What's more, that was a high quality ring. According to the artifact refining skill of Mo Jinyang, this ring stood for his best work. So why had Gu Yuejue taken great pains to make this?
