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

Chapter 33

As his thoughts stopped there, what was interrupted by Mu Chen when talking with Chen Mo occurred to Gu Yunjue.

'The one who wants to see Mu Chen the last time must be little Master's nominal grandfather, the leader of Chen Clan - Chen Xing who failed to breakthrough into Synthesis Stage and is dying.'

'Regretting what he has done when he is about to die? Or he just misses his own daughter because little master is the only child of his daughter? Or is it a cry for help because of little master's profound cultivation and high status?'

Then, a cold smile came up on the corner of Gu Yunjue's mouth, and he just hummed with no expression.

As for Mu Chen, he left others behind and hid his own trace to the back mountain of Hanyang Palace, only to see a little one arching under leaves in a hillock with only its bare head exposed to the air.

Mu Chen stared in shock as the little spotted pig hidden in leaves crawled out, who was about the size of a palm and whose body was decorated with seven white plum blossoms in a Big Dipper form, so shining and richly dazzling in the darkness. Mu Chen immediately recognized this little pig, "Xiao Liu?"

Shaking off dusts on his body and with his eyes red, Chu Qianshuang ran to Mu Chen, so quick that his body turned into a flash of golden light, and stopped in front of Mu in the blink of an eye, "Grand Martial Uncle!" Chu Qianshuang's voice sounded helpless like a child who lost his parents, whose weakness softened Mu Chen's heart.

Then, Mu Chen offered his hand to let Chu Qianshuang lie on his palm; and staring at this little spotted pig who had ignored the boundary to send pills to him in his previous life, he just felt thousands of feelings springing up in his heart.

'This little pig was somehow the last one I could count on most at crucial moments. What had I ever done to him that he would give his faith in me? Chu Qianshuang believes me, so does Jing Ting and Jing Ming. What is it in me that attracts such little ones with pure souls to come close to me?'

After casting a body-cleaning spell on Chu Qianshuang, Mu Chen asked: "What happened?" A few minutes ago, Chu Qianshuang sent a message asking for help and asked him not to tell anyone, not even Liu Hanzhi. And now looking at Chu Qianshuang's poor situation, Mu Chen was naturally worried, "You feel sad because your Master finds who you really are?"

Chu Qianshuang shook his head, "Master has already known it."

Hearing his reply, Mu Chen felt confused and waited his explanation with his eyes still on the little golden pig in his palm.

"Master abandoned me. Grand Martial Uncle, Master let me leave!" Chu Qianshuang said with his tail dropping down.

Obviously, Chu Qianshuang was so frightened by his Master's words that he turned into a little pig because that gave him a sense of security.

With his eyes wide open in shock, Mu Chen thought, 'Although looking cold and strict, Liu Hanzhi still loves his little disciple and has never planned to take a new one. Chu Qianshuang may act naughty sometimes but still is obedient and thoughtful. Then, what on earth has Chu Qianshuang done that irritated his Master to such an extent?'

With that in mind, Mu Chen kneaded his pig ears and comforted: "I'll escort you back. It's better to speak it out if there is any misunderstanding."

Chu Qianshuang shook his head as he dared not go back.

"Then, what about coming to Yanyang Palace with me?"

"No. I don't want to go there either." Chu Qianshaung would rather stay at hills in cold winds than go back to Yanyang Palace with Mu Chen at the thought of Gu Yunjue's eyes that would freeze his blood the moment he got close to Mu Chen. "Grand Martial Uncle, could you put a good word for me in front of Master and tell him not to drive me away? I promise I will never say no to his words and will show my filial piety to them." Chu Qianshuang thought, 'Master often does what Grand Martial Uncle asks. As long as Grand Martial Uncle opens his mouth to ask, Master has to follow.' Chu Qianshuang was picked up in Lost Forest and adopted by Liu Hanzhi since he was very young, so Chu Qianshuang depended on and loved Liu Hanzhi very much. When he realized he was going to be abandoned by Master, a strong feeling of hopelessness overtook him.
