Chapter 38: Master, I’ve got a disease of being scared to see women (1)

Gu Yunjue's performance on the first day demonstrated his extraordinary ability to the world of immortals, while Mu Chen also showed his love for this disciple, which had provoked endless envy and jealousy for his little disciple. For instance, Fu Haolong, known as ”the Chosen cultivator”, conceived especial hatred towards Gu Yunjue. He had vowed to defeat Gu and prove himself to be the most talented among the peers, so that Mu Chen should know it was his fault not choosing him.
In contrast, Mu Chen had no idea about that or he wouldn't care even if he knew it because he had already placed sufficient confidence in Gu Yunjue since his performance in the competition on the first day- ”My disciple will never lose!”
The next morning, Jing Ming ran over in a hurry and danced along with a delight mood. ”Palace Master, my brother is about to end his seclusion!”
Mu Chen just came back from the cold fragrance forest. Hearing the news, he threw away the branches and dashed straight to the place where Jingting secluded for cultivation, only to see the spiritual air gathering in the sky and pouring into the cave in a funnel shape, while the turbulent air around the cave calmed down gradually. In a moment, a two-meter-tall white wolf with cold light in his blue eyes rushed out of the seclusion place. Seeing Mu Chen, the white wolf changed in a flash of light into a white-haired beautiful young man. Born of the same parents, Jing Ting had been half a head taller than Jing Ming, and exceeded him a lot in cultivation, but Jing Ming still rushed over for a hug and yelled, ”Brother!”, not caring a bit about the distinct disparity in either height or cultivation.
Jing Ting rubbed his little brother's head, with his face softened seeing Jing Ming's happy smile. Then he extended respect to Mu Chen, ”Your Palace Master.”
Mu Chen patted Jing Ting's shoulder and sighed with emotion, ”You've really grown up.”
Hearing that, Jing Ting said in a low voice, ”A thousand thanks for your Master sheltering us!” Then he paused, as if a decision had already been made. He took Jing Ming's hand and knelt down with extraordinary resolution, ”In those days, Jing Ming and I were homeless for being chased by enemies. It was your Master that adopted us. Such great kindness, I always bear firmly in mind.”
Mu Chen's face calmed down gradually-he knew that Jing Ting was leaving.
Jing Ming also understood his brother's words. After all, Jing Ting once had mentioned his plan to leave. He lowered his head, with the smile on his face fading into a vacant look. He was reluctant to leave here, the home for him. After escaping from the demon realm, he had lost all memories of his parents and hatred. Only the last decades that he spent with the master, who was also like their father, in Yanyang Palace retained in his mind. He was so confused about the future once he'd left.
Jing Ting spoke in an earnest tone, ”I want to bring Jing Ming back to the demon realm. If we are lucky to be alive after I accomplish what I should do, we'll come back and spend our whole life to serve your Palace Master.”
Mu Chen responded slowly, ”I knew you'd leave one day.” Then he smiled. At first, he was just inspired to pick them up by their fluffy fur and didn't expect them to successfully cultivate into human shape. Having been accompanied by the two for so long a time, he was really loath to part with them on hearing their abrupt decision to leave. ”From now on, you two are Mu Chen's disciples. Whether you are humans or demons and no matter where you've been, you are always my disciples of Yanyang Palace.” Mu Chen patted their heads one by one and said with relief, ”Your master is always here waiting for your return.”
Jing Ming raised his head in surprise, while Jing Ting looked down with a dark sight as if something was hidden in these blue eyes. After a painful inner struggle, he pursed lips, then closed eyes and paid a respect, ”These disciples are much obliged to your master.”
Mu Chen rubbed their heads one by one, just the way he did at their childhood.
In order to make sure that Jing Ting and Jing Ming would be safe on the road, Mu Chen took out all the stocks in the pill concocting room, which were abundant to be packed into more than a dozen space rings.
”When you are outside, do keep in mind to trust no one but yourselves and not to expose your wealth.” Mu Chen took out some pill and gave it to Jing Ting for concealing his demonic breath. When the hair and eyes of this young person before him had changed black, Mu Chen still felt worried to let them go and exhorted, ”Jing Ming must listen to your brother's words; don't accept or even eat anything strangers give to you; stay by Jing Ting's side and never run around.”
Jing Ming crouched in the corner, wearing a melancholy look.
Jing Ting clenched fists tightly with the knuckles getting white and watched Mu Chen prepare their luggage, not uttering any word.
Gu Yunjue came back after drawing lots for competition. Leaning on the door to see such a scene, he couldn't help laughing in heart, ”Little master is a bit too worried-in the past life, these two small things nearly stirred the demon realm up, and Jing Ting even resumed the five demon forces to become demon emperor of the times; thereafter, Jing Ting also brought a lot of trouble for me when I betrayed master.”
However, when Mu Chen had met with the mishap, Gu Yunjue gave his subordinates strict orders before he came to the immortal world, stating that they must listen to Jing Ting's dispatch once something unexpected happened to him. He knew that if anything bad happened to Mu Chen, Jing Ting would lead the demon and devil realms to subvert the immortal world, bringing the three worlds to complete chaos and countless creatures to ruins.
He believed that the two wolves would do it for Mu Chen to repay the countless kindness and care they had received.
Mu Chen glanced at his disciple and asked with concern, ”Who will be your opponent today?”
Gu Yunjue responded joyfully, ”Today is the lucky day. Your disciple drew a bye.”
Mu Chen's mouth curled slightly, ”Luck won't always be companied with you. Don't lose your attention.”
