Chapter 69: "Master, you’re finally in my hands" (1/2)

Translator: Claire.KK

After giving the disciple a sound thrashing, Mu Chen felt a lot better. While eating the barbecue, Mu Chen glanced at Gu Yunjue and sighed again. Little disciple did have an attractive appearance. He looked less evil than in his previous life. With a prominent forehead and two brilliant eyes dazzling like stars, he was like refreshing breeze when he laughed and like a dignified king that people would submit to when he was serious. And he looked even more attractive in this life--tall and slim and good-looking. No wonder some female cultivators had a crush on him.

‘Why the little disciple can grow so well is all because he has been raised well by me.’

Mu Chen stuffed a large piece of meat into Black Egg’s mouth, not noticing that the poor thing was almost chocked by the meat. He just felt a little suffocated, thinking that such a perfect cabbage he planted that might eventually be plucked by other pig.

Perhaps when little disciple became more sensible, he would fall in love with a gentle and generous girl. He would love her with all his heart and soul while she would take good care of him and feed him only the best. He would be drowning in her love and regret what he had said to this master these days. Things would become so awkward between them that the little disciple would move out from Yanyang Palace and build a home of his own. Yanyang Palace would be empty and cheerless again.

Jing Ting was gone; Jing Ming was gone; even the farmer in charge of the herbal field had left. The day the little disciple left, he would be all alone again.

Essentially, man is a kind of gregarious creature. He who alone would look forward to be accompanied by somebody. He who becomes used to companionship would be afraid of losing it.

The more Mu Chen thought, the more irritable he became.

Having ate enough, Mu Chen clapped his hands, stood up and looked to the west in the direction of Green Red Valley. His delicate face was full of annoyance!

Gu Yunjue gracefully landed behind him, stretched out a finger and drew a circle on his waist naughtily. He smiled and asked, ”What's wrong?”

Mu Chen was prodded at the itchy point, so he turned around cold-faced, having an impulse to beat him. The little disciple's skin had become immune to master’s punishment. However hard Mu Chen beat him, he just would not give a damn. What should he do with this evil disciple?

Gu Yunjue pulled him back and made him sit down on the chair. He gently coaxed, ”Don't worry, Master. I'm here.”

Mu Chen looked down at the puzzle ring and felt that the little disciple had no credibility in saying that. At the critical moment, it was still up to him. In case his devil cultivation was exposed, it might bring a disaster to them.

”Why don't you talk?” Gu Yunjue squatted down, pressed his hands on Mu Chen's knees and looked up into Mu’s eyes.

Mu Chen's hands stiffened for a moment, and there seemed to be a trace of hesitation flashing through his eyes.

It was reasonable to say that what he raised should belong to him. According to the routine practice of the immortal world, as Master, he had the right to decide the life and death of his disciples.

Suddenly an idea came into his mind that he could keep little disciple by his side and let him accompany him forever. Anyway, the little disciple couldn't reveal his identity here, so it was safer to make him stay.

Yes, if he had any wrong ideas, just beat him and give him a lesson! Anyway, a disciple was never allowed to fight back. Mu Chen silently took a look at Black Egg as his eyes darkened. He thought, ”We can sign a Master-Servant Contract if things go wrong and let him obey me forever!”

”What are you thinking about, Master?” Looking at Mu Chen's changing expression, Gu Yunjue squinted his eyes and asked softly.

Suddenly, without hesitation, Mu Chen stretched out a finger and poked between Gu Yunjue's eyebrows where a red mark was left. He said imperiously and coldly, ”Put a stamp on you and I'll treat you like I treat Black Egg in the future.”

”What?” A deep and magnificent laughter rang beside Mu Chen's ear, and he paused a minute with his heart lurchedon hearing this disciple’s confident tone. ”Master, are you afraid of my leaving? Are you jealous just now?

Mu Chen snorted, ”I’ve raised you up.”

”So I'm yours? As you said before, Master, you are responsible for me.”

”Shut up or kneel down.” Mu Chen became angry from shyness. What he had said didn't mean the same thing as what the bastard said.

Gu Yunjue stopped talking, but pulled out a piece of Memory Crystal. In the crystal, a cultivator in white appeared, shouting out in a domineering manner, ”I brought him up! He is mine!”

This piece of memory was very precious. It was one of Gu Yunjue's important collections.

Mu Chen, ”......”

WHAT!AN!EVIL!SPAWN!

‘I’d better simply kill him!’

Many cultivators had arrived in Green Red Valley. Although the secret boundary had not yet been opened, many people had already been waiting, including those who were observing secretly.

Where there are people, there are rights and wrongs, so then there are conflicting interests, then people will be divided into gangs to seek protection, and then there will be conflicts and fights. Anyway, there would always be enough reasons for killing people openly and competing for treasures.

Every stranger would be a key factor in breaking the balance. So when new faces appeared, everyone would pay close attention to them.

When Gu Yunjue pushed Mu Chen's wheelchair out, they immediately attracted the attention of others. Someone recognized Mu Chen at once.

Eight years ago, at the Pills Concocting Competition, Mu Chen won the first prize. However, he disappeared after the award ceremony because of the interference of some devil cultivators, and no one knew whether he had returned to Lofty Cloudy Sect or not. Some people said that he appeared in Shuangji City some time ago, but everyone thought it was a rumor. After all, Mu Chen was so highly respected a pill alchemist that whatever he wanted, someone would offer it to him. Therefore, he did not have to run so far in person.

However, Mu Chen appeared unexpectedly now.

Mu Chen looked around and saw that many people were watching them nervously. He frowned slightly. Instead of seeing that five brothers and sisters they’d met a few days ago, he saw an acquaintance there.

Ying Lixun.

In his last life, he got Jade Zoysia Pungens from this person, so when they met in Pill City, he left a trace of divine sense on him. They looked at each other. Ying Lixun greeted him with his hands folded in front, smiling gently and gracefully.

Mu Chen looked away coldly. ‘Nothing in this world is free. Who knows what kind of evil thoughts are hidden beneath the smile?’

Instead of looking at the crowd, Mu Chen looked at the scenery in the distance.
