The Daily Task of Preventing My Disciple from Turning to the Dark Side

Chen Mo continued: “When you were still a child, you told me you were lost and asked me to find you. Then, I asked you where you were, but you said you didn’t know! You said there was a path before you and another behind, trees around you as well as clouds overhead. I was ever worried that no one would look for you when you grew up and got lost again. But now I finally feel much more relieved.”

Watching Chen Mo’s teasing look, Mu Chen put down the cup and exerted his utmost strength to restrain his desire to draw his sword and kill him.

He did mention these embarrassments in front of Gu Yunjue! How could I teach him as a model in future?

Trying hard not to laugh, Gu Yunjue gripped Mu Chen’s hands and reminded him not to be impulsive, but Gu Yunjue still felt that Mu Chen was calmer now and he was only ashamed into anger. Chen Mo, he did know how to influence Master’s emotions.

They were really intimate before, weren’t they?

Mu Chen calmed down because of Gu Yunjue’s coax and drank the wine to oppress his anger. As a matter of fact, Gu Yunjue’s anger was only temporary. Anyone could handle Mu Chen as long as he knew that point. Obviously, Gu Yunjue knew it well and coaxed him without difficulty.

Ending on good note, Chen Mo dropped his eyes and had a drink, some surprise flashing in his eyes. He never expected that there was really a man who could calm down Mu Chen. Gu Yunjue was by no means an ordinary person. Finding Mu Chen’s anger subsided, Chen Mo continued the tease: “Our I-Go was adjourned last time. You didn’t change it, did you?”

Mu Chen hummed chilly, “I’ve thrown it away.”

Chen Mo cried out, “You are a poor loser!”

Mu Chen was rendered speechless: “......”

He shouldn’t have come here. Why must he see this man? Why didn’t he go and buy the fox with Gu Yunjue?

Enough for this time, Chen Mo thought. Then, Chen Mo changed his look and said earnestly: “Drop a visit home if you are free. After these years, they all miss you.”

Hearing that, Mu Chen frowned, looking impatient and annoyed.

“Even though he did everything wrong, he is still your...”

“Bang!” Mu Chen slapped the cup in his hand onto the table before Chen Mo and immediately silenced the latter, a flicker of anger coming up on his cold face, “I come to see you not to hear your persuasion.”

“Well. Well. Well. I’ll stop it.” Chen Mo raised his hands to surrender and as he signed secretly, somehow an old saying came to his mind: You shouldn’t have behaved like that in the beginning when you knew what the result would be.

Then, Mu Chen stood up and flapped his delicate loose sleeves, apparently fed of talking about the old days.

Of course, Gu Yunjue followed closely behind his Master.

Then, Chen Mo caught up with them unhurriedly, not stop his talking: “Where are you going?”

Mu Chen refused to reply with his cold face.

Noticing that, Gu Yunjue explained: “It’s said that the auction is selling a nine-tailed fox. So Master wants to buy it for me.”

“A nine-tailed fox. It must be white and fluffy,” Chen Mo patted Gu Yunjue on the shoulder so hard that it sounded very loudly, and he watched the latter with a look of ‘I know you’, signing, “It’s really hard on you.”

Hearing that, Gu Yunjue shook his head as if he didn’t get the meaning of the words. And then looking at Mu Chen’s stiff back, Gu Yunjue also failed to suppress the smile extending to the corners of his mouth. He walked to Mu Chen and held his hands, gently saying: “I love fluffy things. Master, you must buy it for me later, please. And I brought with me lots of spiritual stones.”

Mu Chen hummed in a cold voice, loftily saying: “No need to use your pocket money. Spiritual stones are what I have most.”

“You are right, Master.” In just a few words Gu Yunjue succeeded in softening Mu Chen. After a shock, Chen Mo, who was following behind, had some deep confusion in his eyes.

There was something wrong with the way Mu Chen got along with Gu Yunjue.

At the very moment, Gu Yunjue turned around and smiled slightly at Chen Mo, like saying: “See? He’s fine now.”

Noticing that, Chen Mo froze for a second and then thought that he might get them wrong. Mu Chen was the person who let those obeying him prosper while those disobeying him die. Once he acted strongly, no one could stop him. And Mu Chen dared to kick off his ancestral tablets when he was forced too much. So it was reasonable that Mu Chen were so intimate with Gu Yunjue as Gu Yunjue had followed him and coaxed him from childhood.
