Chapter 21: I Will Come Find You Ten Years Later At The Four Great Sect Competition (1/2)

Mu Chen felt offended that his disciple was being questioned so he coldly responded back, “My disciple has great talent. You don’t need to worry yourself about it.”

Gu Yunjue turned his head around and held onto Mu Chen’s neck. The corners of his lips quirked upwards when he sensed how uneasy Mu Chen felt. He patted Mu Chen’s back and whispered to him, “I didn’t see anything. The fat duck was the one who told me.”

Yu Tianyi frowned. “This duck?!”

Rebude, who was pushed the blame, quickly covered its mouth with its wings for fear that it would be taken away if the Yu Tianyi noticed anything out of the ordinary about it.

Yu Tianyi made a doubtful sound. He then smiled and replied, “Then make sure to raise it well. Don’t just throw it away because it’s ugly. This…duck is pretty good.” Yu Tianyi noticed that Mu Chen was staring at him as if he thought that Yu Tianyi would snatch a treasure away from him. A cheerful smile made its way onto Yu Tianyi’s face, and he continued his sentence in order to placate Mu Chen. “In the past, I’ve always felt that our spiritual power attributes should have been switched. Now, I realize that you actually have a fiery temper.”

The expression on Mu Chen’s face darkened. Mu Chen already felt impatient and waved his sleeve to Jing Ting. Jing Ting hurried on over, understanding the meaning of Mu Chen’s action. ‘Everyone, please take care. We will not see you all off.”

Yu Tianyi did not mind Mu Chen’s cold attitude. He said, “I will come find you again ten years later at the Four Great Sects Competition.”

Mu Chen nodded his head with indifference. Although he did not refuse him, he also did not have any intention of being polite. Even though he felt unhappy about allowing Ji Qingyuan to be carried away while he was still alive, Mu Chen also felt that it wouldn’t be very smart for him to push the matter anymore since it came to this point.

Yu Tianyi gave one last look to Mu Chen before he finally left. Yu Tianyi had something that was even more important to take care of.

The moment that Yu Tianyi left, everybody else also left one after the other as they did not want to linger there any longer. Gu Yunjue noticed that Liu Hanzhi was staring at him, and he beamed at him before asking, “Junior Brother Liu, is there anything you want to say to me?”

Liu Hanzhi, “….”

Mu Chen rubbed Gu Yunjue’s head, feeling helpless. Why did this child call out Junior Brother so smoothly?

Gu Yunjue directed a blank look at Mu Chen, he did not call him by the wrong title. You guys are Martial Uncle and Nephew. Master needs to distinguish the relationship between them. In this world, only the disciple could have a close relationship with his Master.

Liu Hanzhi exited with a cold expression on his face. His disappearing figure looked hurried, as if he did not want to stay here for another minute.

Gu Yunjue smiled with a joyful expression on his face. He called out to Liu Hanzhi’s disappearing figure, “Whenever Junior Brother Liu has time to play with me, I’ll share half of my sugar cake with you!”

The image of Liu Hanzhi’s back disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Everyone in Yanyang Palace had admiration in their eyes when they looked at Gu Yunjue. They all felt that Gu Yunjue was a hero! Elder Liu had a reputation in Lofty Cloudy Sect for being murderous. However, Gu Yunjue ridiculed him by calling him “Junior Brother.” He really was a hero!

The tense expression on Mu Chen’s face finally eased once everyone left. Gu Yunjue pulled on Mu Chen’s hand before asking in a confused manner, “Master, why didn’t that man blink an eye even as he was destroying his own Junior Brother’s meridians?”

Mu Chen thought about it for a bit before he answered. “That’s because he was a bad guy, and bad guys should be killed.”

Gu Yunjue curiously asked, “They’re fellow disciples, and they’ve been together for so long. How can they not have any good feelings towards each other? He never looked at his Junior Brother again the entire time.”

Mu Chen hesitated for a moment. He thought about Yu Tianyi’s expressions and emotions, and his heart chilled. Even though the immortal realm would not tolerate the fact that Ji Qingyuan entered the Devil Cultivation, the way Yu Tianyi disposed of his Junior Brother without blinking an eye was cruel. Mu Chen then thought back to the glance that the other had given him. He then sighed before answering, “In the end, it was all for more power and fame. You need to understand that nobody will be kind to you without reason. If there’s a reason, then there will be results. You need to be cautious in everything that you do and try not to be careless.”

Gu Yunjue gave a satisfied smile. Yu Tianyi looked as if he was a patient person and could endure everything. However, he was not able to restrain the emotions in his eyes. If anybody else looked at him, they could tell that Yu Tianyi’s attitude towards Mu Chen was different. However, his Master did not seem to understand any of that. Instead, he was worried about the evil thoughts the other had. He also tried to distance himself even further from the other person. The type of Master really caused his heart to clench and his lungs to feel ticklish. It was extremely adorable.

Mu Chen noticed that black duck in Gu Yunjue’s hand. He frowned with disdain showing on his face, “For what reason did you pick that up for?””

When Mu Chen first picked this duck up, it was still a black furry ball. It was so fluffy and cute so he loved it during that time. He gave it permission to come and go wherever it pleased in Yanyang Palace. Everyday, he would rub and touch for a bit of time. However, he didn’t realize where things went wrong. After he had gone to seclusion for a while, he came back to find that the cute appearance had changed and that feathers had replaced the fur.

Mu Chen felt as if he had been lied to. In a fit of anger, he had thrown it into the mountains in the back so that it could keep the other spirit pets company.

This fat bird acted as if it had obtained freedom and gave itself an unreasonable name of Rebude! However, it shouldn’t be looked down upon just because of its appearance. It was able to cultivate in a fast amount of time, and managed to defeat all of the spirit beasts that enjoyed fighting. It thus became the king of the mountains. If you looked at its body, it was easy to see how comfortable its life was. Looking at it now, Mu Chen still felt that he was deceived and disliked it for no reason. Of course, the main reason could be because of its ugliness.

“Do you want to raise it?” Mu Chen was shocked that Gu Yunjue liked this pet that did not have any points of appeal. However, he heard that having a kid raise a pet can lead them to have a kind and patient heart. Thus, he wasn’t completely against the idea. “Don’t you think that it’s ugly? Your Master can find you a better looking one.”
