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

Chapter 52

Black Egg coveted the soul as it looked expectantly at Gu Yunjue, 'Don't burn it up! Leave it for me!'

Gu Yunjue clicked his tone and stretched a finger when a white butterfly fell on the tip. He smiled gently, "The fire connecting with master's divine soul is intimate with me but is not under my control. Sorry, Black Egg, you have to wait until next time." His adorable little master surely cared him most. Master had certainly perceived what happened just now and would fly back in a moment.

Meanwhile, Wei was hiding in a dark room and feeling the burning of his divine soul. But he daren't to retrieve the soul back because the fire would accordingly attach itself to his real body so long as the soul returned. Bearing the scorching pain, Wei Huaitong felt more resentful toward Mu Chen, 'Mu Chen is simply a favorite of fate. Not to mention his excellent talent, even such divine thing recognizes him as master. Damn it!'

Sensing the boundary broken by outsiders, Mu Chen felt his heart tightened immediately and rushed out of the pill concocting room in a blink. Bo Jinyu thumped his chest and stamped his feet, "Come back, you cheeky cad! Restore my furnace."

Mu Chen turned a deaf ear to Bo. With his heart full of concerns on his little disciple, how could he spare any attention to the furnace right now?

Bo Jinyu embraced the pill concocting furnace with his whole body and stared at the big hole in it, his face filled with grief!

Turning his sight to the scrapped herbs, Bo felt even more woeful. No herbs left, no furnace intact, he could not concoct pills in the end but had to pay for violation of the contract. 'Such an evil day! Mama! I wanna cry!'

Mu Chen returned to the inn in just a minute, when Wei Huaitong's divine soul was totally burnt out. Only a faint shadow faded away before Mu Chen had a second to figure out who the intruder was. Actually, he had his heart filled with worries about his little disciple, without any mood to investigate.

Seeing Gu Yunjue sit still at the place without any sign of injury, Mu Chen felt a little relieved. However, the way little disciple looked at him was quirky.

Gu Yunjue remained cold and looked down to conceal the joy beneath his eyes, with exactly a pettish youngster's appearance. Mu Chen's chilling face changed instantly as Gu had expected. There was still no expression though, this master's eyes seemed disturbed. 'I wasn't there to protect little disciple when he was faced with danger.' Mu Chen blamed himself before he asked, "Yun'er, are you all right? Did it scare you?"

Gu Yunjue looked up at Mu Chen coldly, full of grievance in his eyes, "Would master call me something else? I've grown up and don't want to be treated like a child anymore."

Mu Chen felt puzzled, 'A nickname can devalue one's age?'

Gu Yunjue grabbed Mu Chen's hand and pulled him over, querying, "Where has Master been?"

Mu Chen recalled that he had broken Bo Jinyu's furnace and blushed abruptly with his eyes dodging away, seemingly bashful and annoyed.

Gu Yunjue intended to tease master but hadn't imagined the shyness appearing on Mu Chen's face. His eyes darkening and a feeling of jealousy surging over his heart, Gu Yunjue gripped Mu Chen even harder until finger marks were left on master's white hand.

Mu Chen was stunned at Gu Yunjue's cold face and his rather colder eyes. His disciple's dim eyes became rather dark as ink with even a faint color of blood in the deep, from which anybody could see through his forbearing and infatuated affection. Sensing the substantive and strong feeling that was about to wrap him and draw him into the bottomless abyss, Mu Chen felt at a loss for a while and didn't know how to react. The eyes of his little disciple had always been clear and transparent. But currently this pair of eyes absolutely belonged to the disciple of last life, who had always worn a chuckling appearance to hide his thought from being perceived.
