Chapter 11: Having You Is Enough (1/2)
Gu Yunjue suddenly called out to Yue Mingze, “Senior Brother Sect Master, there’s no need to leave yet. Before, you said that you hadn’t planned on telling this to Master. Who made you change your mind?”
Yue Mingze was astonished as he looked Gu Yunjue in the eyes. He really wanted to find some clues in them. It was a pity that besides childish curiosity, he couldn’t find any coldness or evilness within them. He slightly smiled and mildly replied, “It was Elder Zheng, who was also Martial Uncle Mu’s Senior Brother while they were both under the same Master.”
Mu Chen coldly scoffed and raised an eyebrow at Yue Mingze. Mu Chen wondered if beating Yue Mingze up would solve the other’s problem of being weak-hearted.[1]
Yue Mingze sensed that something was wrong and he immediately slipped away.
Once Yue Mingze made it back home, he thought about how he should write back to Ten Thousand Sword Sect. ‘
Thinking up to that point, Sect Master Yue couldn’t keep pretending anymore. He ferociously grabbed at his hair. He felt like knocking his head against the wall the entire time. The reason that his Martial Uncle had given him could not be used. What reason could he actually use to reject them that wouldn’t cause any trouble? Yue Mingze suddenly thought about Gu Yunjue’s eyes from earlier. Yue Mingze’s mind moved. He had an idea!
Wouldn’t Fifth Junior Brother be the best reason? Mu Chen’s disciple was too young and couldn’t be separated from his Master. This type of reason was something that even Ten Thousand Sword Sect could not refuse. At this moment, Sect Master Yue felt as if he was a genius.
While Yue Mingze felt excited, he did not know how the other people who saw him earlier felt….
After Yue Mingze had left, Gu Yunjue clasped his hands onto Mu Chen’s face. The expression in his eyes was chilling. Inside his Master’s heart, there should be no one that he found attractive except for Gu Yunjue. Why should he worry about a little person like Ji Qingyuan? If Mu Chen wanted the three realms, then Gu Yunjue would still praise him before offering it all up to him. His Master didn’t need to think much into it. All his Master had to do was keep his eyes only on his disciple.
Mu Chen helplessly pulled off the two claws that were on his face. This little disciple really liked doing this type of action. Perhaps it had to do with his intimateness and dependence towards his Master. However, Mu Chen could not let his disciple get accustomed to this. As a strict Master that would not spoil his disciple, he needed to stop him.
Gu Yunjue stubbornly went closer to Mu Chen once again. His two hands rested on top of Mu Chen’s shoulders. Gu Yunjue and Mu Chen were so close to each other that their breaths were touching. No matter what, Gu Yunjue was unable to calm the worry down inside his heart. It felt like there was a vacancy inside his heart. However, he did not know how to fill it. It was only through being closer and touching the man beside him that Gu Yunjue could feel that this man belonged to him. The alluring peach flower eyes of Gu Yunjue could not hide the malice within them. While his pitch black eyes were serene like the Black Sea with no waves within, there seemed to be a crazy storm brewing inside his eyes.
He faintly smiled and asked Mu Chen, “Master, who was it that you said you wanted to marry just now?”
Mu Chen once again removed Gu Yunjue’s hands. He firmly held onto Gu Yunjue’s two claws to prevent him from acting up again. Mu Chen tilted his head slightly and thus missed the current expression on Gu Yunjue’s face.
Gu Yunjue crawled up onto Mu Chen and held onto his neck. He held him close to him while a deep gloomy expression shone from his eyes. “Master, if you must find a dao companion, then you must tell me first.”The sharp and clear voice of Gu Yunjue carried the softness of a child his age. However, the coldness within his voice caused Mu Chen to feel apprehensive.
Was Gu Yunjue afraid that he would be abandoned once Mu Chen found himself a dao companion?
After thinking up to that point, Mu Chen clumsily comforted Gu Yunjue. “Master won’t find himself a dao companion.” Mu Chen looked at his disciple who was raising his eyes. Inside his disciple’s eyes, Mu Chen was able to notice that Gu Yunjue was attempting to appear strong on the outside. However, deep inside, he was still a weak child. Mu Chen sighed. This little guy really was sensitive and weak. He tightly hugged the child. With his chin pressed against the child’s cheek, he gently and softly whispered in a low voice, “Having you is enough for Master. We already agreed that when you grow up, you will support me.”
Gu Yunjue blankly stared for a moment before he smiled. The hollow feeling that was in his heart was now filled by Mu Chen’s words. His heart thus calmed down. It was very strange. However, it felt pretty good.
Gu Yunjue took out a thin cloth from his bosom. He then used that cloth to seriously and carefully wipe the hand that Mu Chen had used to pick up that visiting card earlier. At this point, he had already one hundred percent confirmed that Mu Chen really did carry his memory from the past and was reborn. Since Mu Chen was a person that could not hide things easily, love and hate from Mu Chen could be easily seen with a glance. According to their past lifetime, then the relationship between Master and Yu Tianyi would have been pretty good around this time. As long as the request of the other didn’t go overboard, then his Master would have agreed to it. When it came to treating the injuries of an Elder, it would have been a simple matter for his Master. However, he had refused.
