Chapter 103: Endless scheming. (1/2)
Translator: Claire.KK
Chen Mo was a bit shocked to learn that Mu Chen's family had come, and then hurried himself here.
Chen's clan were all hostile to Mu’s, especially Mu Chen’s father, a man who got a woman pregnant before she married, got her spirit body destroyed, and didn’t show up even when she died of an illness. Everyone in Chen’s abhorred that man.
Consequentially, Chen's clan had their grudge on that man’s son Mu Chen. If Chen Mo didn't risk his life to protect Mu Chen, young Mu Chen would have been executed according to the family rules as a blot on the clan’s reputation. Now looking back at that time, Chen Mo was not without resentment.
Now Mu Chen had grown up, becoming an outstanding person in every area. He was well cared for and had few difficulties in his life. What was his clan planning to do showing up at this time? When Chen Mo thought of this, a killing intent appeared on his gentle face. He would first seize the man and let the man kneel in front of the grave of his deceased aunt; then kick him out of Ronggu Peak, and let all of Mu’s scram!
Chen Mo rushed to Yanyang Palace and found Mu Chen in the herb garden. His first sentence was: ”I heard that someone of Mu’s has come? Where is it? ”
Mu Chen, bending his head, was taking care of the herb. He was shocked by Chen Mo’s angry appearance. His porcelain white fingers slightly quivered and accidentally pulled down a green leaf. The spiritual nutrients contained in the herbs gradually leaked and disappeared in the air.
Mu Chen's face remained the same, but a little killing intent could be detected from his eyes. This was the best Trefoil Green Ganoderma in the garden!
He was planning to refine a bottle of Flame Spirit Cream for Gu Yunjue. Azure Fire Sword was a magic sword descended from the ancient times; maybe because of too much killing, it contained bloody evil spirit. Gu Yunjue would get hurt every time he used it. Mu Chen had come to see this herb almost every day, waiting for it to be mature and be concocted into pills. Now it was totally destroyed.
Heartache!
Chen Mo also understood that he made a trouble. He coughed sheepishly, ”Well, I'll pay you a better one.”
”Three!” Mu Chen looked up, his face being cold. ‘Don’t you dare to give me one less?!’
Chen Mo, ”... Three of them. You have my words. ”‘To the worst, I can borrow some from Bai Yi. This person is a bigger trouble after all.’
Mu Chen's countenance finally got relaxed. He dug out the herb carefully and planned to take it back and to make a salad for Gu Yunjue. It was wasteful to just throw it away after a long time of fostering.
”Listen, I heard that your family have come to you. Where are they now?” Chen Mo subdued his resentment against Mu's and asked in a mild voice.
At this time, Gu Yunjue just finished his business, carrying Mu Dong to come over. After Mu Chen sensed it, he raised his chin and then nodded, ”Here, that small one, you can take him if you want.”
Seeing Chen Mo, Gu Yunjue’s eyes brightened, ‘Here was the best candidate of the babysitter!’
Chen Mo: ”...”

Gu Yunjin picked up the pills sent by Gu Yunjue, looked at it and threw it back into the jade plate with a sneer. These pills of such quality certainly were not concocted by Mu Chen, which couldn’t satisfy him yet. Gu Yunjue had no sincerity at all. But Gu Yunjin also knew that this was normal.
The subordinate who had been following Gu Yunjin quickly collected the pills and put the box away. Looking at Gu Yunjin's face, he asked discreetly, ”Lord, your injury…?”
”It's OK. He didn't mean to kill me, or didn’t even use much of his spirit power.” Gu Yunjin frowned and said in a deep voice, ”That’s even more terrible. I finally understand how the Devil Lord lost to him in the Immortal Realm. This man is unfathomable.” He paused and asked with interest, ”Diyuan, where did he come from?”
Diyuan bowed his head and pointed up after a hesitation.
Gu Yunjin narrowed his eyes and said lightly, ”Mu Chen is more interesting.”
Diyuan stopped talking and stood aside respectfully.
Gu Yunjin pondered for a while, and suddenly said, ”I see a chance to avenge your master.”
”Master will be very happy if he can hear about it.” Diyuan bowed his head and carefully echoed.
Gu Yunjin touched the ring on his hand, and his eyes became dimmer. ”You have seen his way to fabricate soul puppets,” he said, ”Do you think there is any mole around me?”
Diyuan was stunned. His hand squeezed tightly into a fist in his sleeve. Then he said lightly, ”Lord, you should hold it. You can't be manipulated by him.”
Gu Yunjin stared at Diyuan quietly for a while, and suddenly smiled. Looking at the ring on his hand flashing a cold blue light, he slightly stroked it, soothed his emotions and said faintly: ”You are right; your tone is just like that of your master, very good.”

Mu Chen was also very puzzled. He threw the herbs in his hand into the concocting furnace and asked Gu Yunjue who was watching him concocting the pill with one hand supporting his head, ”Why doesn't that man leave yet?”
Thinking that an annoying outsider had intruded into his place and wouldn't go, Mu Chen got the fidgets. ‘This Gu Yunjin, What on earth does he want?’
Gu yunjue narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully, ”He is waiting; he must not be in a good mood now, worried and uneasy, or still afraid.”
Mu Chen looked back and saw Gu yunjue very confident. So he stopped asking. He took out the pill, smelt it and threw it into the jade plate beside Gu Yunjue, asking, ”What kind of pill is this?”
