The Daily Task of Preventing My Disciple from Turning to the Dark Side Chapter 11

Chapter 11

Suddenly, Gu Yunjue stopped Yue Mingze. “Shixiong please stay. Who changed your mind about not telling Shizun about this matter?”

Yue Mingze looked at Gu Yunjue’s eyes in surprise, trying to find a clue within them. Unfortunately, apart from the curiosity typical of a child, he couldn’t detect the sinister and cold intentions he had seen earlier. He could only smile slightly and say gently, “Elder Zheng and also shixiong of your Shifu.”

Mu Chen coldly snorted, raised an eyebrow at him. He needed to fix Yue Mingze’s habit of being easily swayed. He wondered if a good beating might help.

Yue Mingze felt satisfied with this response, but he didn’t know the mood of the person he was dealing with…

After Yue Mingze left, Gu Yunjue cupped Mu Chen’s face, his eyes turning cold. In his Shizun’s eyes, no one should be more attractive than him. Those minor characters like Ji Qingyuan didn’t deserve his Master’s concern. Even if someone wanted the Three Realms, he could present them on a silver platter. His shifu didn’t need to think so much; his gaze should always be fixed on him.

Mu Chen helplessly removed the little hands from his face. Although he knew that his disciple’s habit of being hands-on was an expression of reliance and fondness, he couldn’t indulge him. As a strict teacher who wouldn’t pamper his disciple, he had to resist.

Gu Yunjue stubbornly leaned closer again, his hands pressing onto Mu Chen’s shoulders. Their noses nearly touched, but he couldn’t calm down the burning sensation within his heart. It felt like there was an emptiness inside him that he didn’t know how to fill. All he could do was draw closer to the person beside him, someone he could touch and feel, someone who belonged to him. The seductive peach blossom eyes couldn’t hide the fierceness in his gaze. His pitch-black pupils were like a calm black sea, seemingly peaceful but harboring a brewing storm of madness.

He smiled faintly and asked, “Shizun, you just said you want to marry someone?”

Mu Chen once again removed his disciple’s hands, feeling a bit embarrassed as he tilted his head slightly in order to avoid eye contact. Consequently, he missed Gu Yunjue’s current expression. He had been too annoyed and had spoken without thinking. Who would have thought that a child would be so curious?

Gu Yunjue climbed up and wrapped his arms around Mu Chen’s neck, hugging him tightly. His ink-like eyes were deep and dark, and he said, “Shizun, if you want to find a Dao companion, you must tell me in advance.” His young voice was clear and had the softness typical of his age, yet his words carried a chill that suddenly alarmed Mu Chen.

Could it be that he was afraid that finding a Dao companion would lead to him being abandoned?

Thinking about this, Mu Chen awkwardly comforted, “I won’t find a Dao companion,” as he looked at his disciple, who raised his gaze, closely watching his eyes. It was like looking at a child who appeared strong on the outside but was fragile on the inside. 

Mu Chen sighed, finding this child both sensitive and delicate, making his heart ache. He held the person in his arms tightly, his chin resting on Gu Yunjue’s cheek. His voice was low but unexpectedly gentle. “As long as I have you, that’s enough. We agreed, when you grow up, you’ll take care of me.”

Gu Yunjue was stunned for a moment, then smiled. It seemed like this one sentence filled the emptiness in his heart, causing his heart to settle. This feeling was strange; he had never experienced it before, and it felt unfamiliar, but it was nice.

Gu Yunjue took out a piece of silk from his pocket, lifted Mu Chen’s hand that had touched the invitation earlier, and carefully wiped it clean. He was now completely sure that Mu Chen had indeed been reborn with his memories intact because Mu Chen was not someone who could hide his emotions. At this time in their previous life, Mu Chen should have had a good relationship with Yu Tianyi. As long as the request wasn’t excessive, Mu Chen would have agreed. Treating an elder was a straightforward matter for him. But now, he had refused.

Then there was Ji Qingyuan. Currently, Mu Chen should not know about Ji Qingyuan. Based on Mu Chen’s personality, he wouldn’t bother with someone like Ji Qingyuan. Yet he had called Ji Qingyuan a hypocrite. All the evidence indicated that Mu Chen knew what would happen in the future. But why was he treating himself well instead of eliminating the future trouble he had caused? Didn’t he lead to Mu Chen’s death?

As Gu Yunjue thought about these things, he became absent-minded. Mu Chen’s fingers were very beautiful, with slender, graceful joints, fair and smooth skin. The temperature when he held them in his hand was just right…

At this moment, Mu Chen was also lost in thought. How nice it would be if his disciple never grew up. He would always depend on him, worry about being abandoned, and dutifully wipe his hands and serve tea for him. But as he grew up, he would eventually fly away.

The twins, Jing Ting and Jing Ming, who had run around in circles, came back and saw their shifu is still maintaining the same posture. Their expressions were as if they were cherishing this moment, making it difficult for anyone to break this atmosphere. They had never seen Mu Chen care so much about anyone. The two brothers exchanged glances and saw the doubt in each other’s eyes. Jing Ming wondered, “Could it be that Gu Yunjue is actually the Sect Master’s biological child?”

The twin’s telepathic connection was excellent, and they instantly understood each other’s thoughts with just a glance. Jing Ting suddenly felt thunderstruck and kicked his brother: “Are you an idiot? You actually believe that nonsense!”

Jing Ming got up, patted his butt, and continued to be shocked: “Then what kind of pill is that? If we accidentally eat it…”

Jing Ting quickly drew his sword and mercilessly struck his brother. The Moonhowl Heavenly Wolf clan had produced such an idiot; it was a disgrace to their ancestors. Maybe he should just kill him for his parents and then stuff him back into the furnace for a second chance!

The two brothers fought like archenemies. Jing Ming couldn’t defeat Jing Ting in combat, but his mouth was sharper. He jumped around while being beaten, shouting, “Are you even human? Do you want to kill me to inherit the family fortune? Our father is so poor that he’s left with nothing but fur. You, as the elder brother, still want to compete with me. Go ahead and beat me to death; even if I become a ghost, I won’t let you off. If you beat me again, I’ll find you a stepmother who won’t feed you!”

Jing Ting’s face turned dark with anger. He hated iron for not becoming steel and said, “Throw away all those little drawings of yours. From now on, you’re not allowed to look at such idiotic things!”

Mu Chen was disturbed by the noise, so he took the silk from Gu Yunjue, casually tossed it to a maid nearby, and picked up a branch from the branch that Gu Yunjue had thrown on the table. With Gu Yunjue in his arms, he moved in a flash and arrived at the hot spring at the back of the mountain.

Mu Chen placed Gu Yunjue on the ground and soaked a tree branch in the spiritual spring. Without waiting for Gu Yunjue to speak, he picked him up and headed to the back mountain.

A distant fragrance of fairy fruit wafted through the air. Standing in midair and looking down, a variety of flowers bloomed in vibrant colors amidst the gentle white mist. Various spiritual beasts and demonic creatures could be seen shuttling through the forest. Upon spotting Mu Chen, several adorable-looking spiritual beasts paused in their tracks, curiously sizing up Gu Yunjue in his arms. They thought Mu Chen had found a companion, only to realize it was a child.

Are you planning to keep him here?

Gu Yunjue looked at Mu Chen with confusion. Why had his master come here? Was he introducing him to a playmate?

Mu Chen carried Gu Yunjue to the ground and released him. Their hands held together, master and disciple walked on the fallen leaves with matching white boots, creating a crisp sound with each step. They didn’t exchange words, and the warmth persisted until they reached the waterfall. Mu Chen’s lips curved slightly as he said to Gu Yunjue, “Close your eyes.”

“Mas…ter, you’re smiling.” Having seen countless beauties, even the most enchanting demons of the demon realm had not evoked the kind of profound feeling that this gentle smile from the person before him did. Gu Yunjue was momentarily stunned.

Seeing that his disciple was still staring at him without closing his eyes, Mu Chen, slightly displeased, covered the other’s eyes. Whether his silly disciple was ignorant or willfully disobedient was hard to tell. He raised his hand and released a stream of spiritual energy, partitioning off the waterfall. A cave entrance appeared on the wall, not too large, appearing more like a passageway. Mu Chen carried Gu Yunjue, swiftly passing through the cave. With a voice laced with a hint of delight, he whispered near Gu Yunjue’s ear, “Yun’er, open your eyes.”
