Chapter 3: Do You Still Wet the Bed? (1/2)

The place of Mu Chen’s residence, known as Yanyang Palace, was located towards the north of Lofty Cloud Sect. It was the mountain peak with the most abundant spiritual qi from all of the five peaks. The towering peak of Yanyang stood tall and erect. It reached through the clouds, yet the top of it was offed by someone with a sword. At the top of that peak stood the important Yanyang Palace which was vermillion-colored. If you looked from afar, there would be mist and clouds curling up around the structure. This would make the atmosphere of the place look majestic. If you looked up close, you would see a prominent and beautiful structure.

Once Mu Chen landed on the ground, there was a crisp scent of medicine that filled the air. The rich spiritual qi also filled the air, enough that could reinvigorate a person. At the front of Mu Chen’s palace, there was a huge forest of golden bamboo. As the golden bamboo plants swayed gently in the wind, the mottled sunshine passed through the leaves which were sprinkled onto the ground. This caused the floor to turn golden in color. Beneath the golden bamboo forest, there were copious amounts of spiritual medical herbs that were spreading like weeds. These spiritual medical herbs were rare in the outer realm.

Towards the left of Yanyang Palace, there was a spiritual spring that passed by the immortal palace. From it, there was a waterfall that was flowing out of it swiftly. Towards the right, there were several hundred miles of a medicinal herb garden. From the mountains in the back, the cry of the red-crowned crane could be heard.

There had always been talk about Yanyang Palace being the richest area in all of Lofty Cloudy Sect. However, the true meaning of those words would only be understood after one has seen the place for themselves.

Mu Chen placed Gu Yunjue on the ground before he introduced the place to him. “This is the place where we will live, you can settle anywhere you want to inside. ”

The place was arranged according to Mu Chen’s tastes. The arrangement of the place was simple, and it was organized. However, there was now a child that still needed to be cared for with him. Mu Chen thought to himself that maybe he should use some spirit stones to construct another house. He also thought that maybe he should make the house more child-friendly.

Gu Yunjue looked around at his surroundings. There was a flash of recollection that passed through his eyes. This place used to be the most comforting place to him.

As he took in the scenery around him, his gaze fell upon a table that was made of white jade near the end where the bamboo forest was. On top of the table, there was a pot of wine with two wine cups. There was also a board of chess in which the game that was played on it hadn’t ended.

When Gu Yunjue thought of the person who would get treated in this way by Mu Chen, his eyes narrowed. He held onto Mu Chen’s thigh tightly and charmingly smiled at Mu Chen.“Your disciple[1] wants to live with Master.”

Mu Chen slightly frowned. He lowered his head to look at Gu Yunjue who was clinging to his thigh.He then asked him apprehensively, “Do you…still wet the bed?”

The corner of Gu Yunjue’s mouth twitched, and both of his hands trembled. Wetting the bed? His little Master really wasn’t cute.

Mu Chen kept staring down at his disciple with his head lowered. The expression in his eyes looked serious. He really wanted to know if his little disciple still wetted the bed. If that was the case, then Mu Chen could not allow Gu Yunjue to sleep with him. Mu Chen could feel the ‘lack of confidence’ his little disciple had through the tremble he made. Mu Chen raised an eyebrow to show that he understood. He thus decided that it was better for them to sleep separately. It was obvious that Gu Yunjue was still at the age where he wetted his bed.

Once they had noticed Mu Chen’s arrival, two dao children who looked to be around thirteen to fourteen years old immediately leaped. They both landed right in front Mu Chen. “Palace Master.”[2] They both greeted in unison.

The pair that landed in front of them were twins. Their appearance was very elegant. The two of them were also wearing exactly the same white clothing with robes. There was a serious and stern expression on the face of one of the twins. That twin had a long sword attached to his back. His waist was also very straight. However, none of these things could cover the sharp and acute atmosphere that surrounded him. The other twin had a smile on his face. He was staring at Gu Yunjue while sizing him up. He looked as if he had a personality that was extremely lively and energetic. In his hands, there was a long black flute that had a strange appearance. From the flute, there was a bone pendant hanging off of it. The bone pendant swayed with his movement, and gave him a mischievous atmosphere.

Mu Chen introduced the two of them to Gu Yunjue, “The one that isn’t smiling is Jing Ting. The one that likes to smile is Jing Ming. You can look for them if you need anything.” After he had finished speaking, Mu Chen discovered that his little disciple was still clinging to his leg, so Mu Chen had to pry his ‘shy’ disciple off of his thigh. After he had done that, he pushed his disciple out in front of him. “This is my personal succeeding disciple. His name is Gu Yunjue. You guys need to take good care of him.”

“Your disciples understand.[3]” Although they called themselves his disciples, Jing Ting and Jing Ming did not have the relationship that a master and disciple normally had with Mu Chen. They were just his dao children. They were also considered as his spirit beasts. The two of them didn’t look human. In fact, they were two demon beasts that looked like dogs.

When Mu Chen was at a secret boundary, they were picked up by him. It was because of Mu Chen’s habit that they were taken home with him where he healed their injuries. Ever since the time that Mu Chen had healed them, the two brothers have always stayed with Mu Chen. They have been with him for more than ten years by now.

Mu Chen ordered one of them, “Jing Ming, tidy up the room that’s next door to my room for Yun’er to live in.”

When Jing Ming heard Mu Chen say ‘next door’, it was obvious that he went blank for a moment before he diligently nodded his head. “Yes, your disciple will go do this at once.”

Gu Yunjue narrowed his eyes as he stared at the diligent Jing Ming’s back. He didn’t expect that these two troublesome little things would have followed his Master so early.

Mu Chen rubbed Gu Yunjue’s head, interrupting his train of thought. He then told him, “Take off your clothes and go take a bath. You are not allowed to wear the color black in the future.”

Mu Chen felt unhappy thinking about the future Gu Yunjue wearing black. He also felt unhappy thinking about how unrivaled Gu Yunjue’s appearance was, but contrary to that, he would murder someone without the blink of an eye. No matter what, his little disciple in this life cannot turn that way.

Mu Chen started to leave before he felt his thigh being held again.Gu Yunjue’s action caused the few attendants to all to suck in their breaths. As they stared at Gu Yunjue, their eyes were full of admiration. The last time when there was a shameless person that tugged on their Palace Master’s sleeve, that person was kicked so hard that he was sent flying somewhere far away where he couldn’t be seen. However, this young lord still dared to cling onto Palace Master’s thigh….

Hero! So brave!

Mu Chen tried to pull Gu Yunjue off of his thighs. However, he was unable to pry Gu Yunjue off.He really was gripping Mu Chen way too firmly.

Gu Yunjue made a very miserable-looking face. He resembled dog skin plaster in the way that he clung to Mu Chen’s thigh. “Master! Don’t leave!” Gu Yunjue still had yet to figure out what type of spiritual power was attracting him to Mu Chen’s body. Gu Yunjue had to take a bath anyway, so they could probably take a bath together, and help one another out.

Mu Chen assumed that Gu Yunjue was scared considering that it was his first time in this place. He helplessly picked Gu Yunjue into his arms again, and he called for his attendants to bring in hot water. He was personally preparing to wash his little disciple. The chamberlains that brought the water over all peeped at Gu Yunjue with worship in their eyes. The Palace Master compromised to their surprise. He must feel a special type of love for his disciple. In the future, it looks like they would really have to serve this Little Palace Master[4] to the best of their abilities.

Jing Ting was the only one in there that felt as if Gu Yunjue’s expression was slightly abnormal.
