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

When his speculation was verified, Mu Chen found it both funny and annoying. Duanmu Feng was gentle in nature with a fine and attentive mind, while Liu Hanzhi hated to speak out his real thoughts, so Liu Hanzhi wouldn’t ever say it out bluntly if he loved someone. In the last life, both of them didn’t open their heart to each other for over one hundred and fifty years. And there had been a time, because of Mu Chen’s intimacy with Liu Hanzhi, when Duanmu Feng got the latter wrong and refused to talk to Liu Hanzhi for over twenty years; they almost became strangers. Mu Chen hadn’t realized that his close relation with Liu Hanzhi would cause a serious misunderstanding between the two.

‘Then, it seems many misunderstandings already exist between them.’

“Master became angry when he saw me return from second martial uncle’s palace. He said to me, ‘Go to Qiyang Palace and never come back.’” Chu Qianshaung looked discouraged with his ears down, “I eat a lot. Master must hate that.”

Mu Chen fell into silence, feeling quite speechless.

‘You’ve eaten much for so many years. He never said anything before. Apparently, Liu Chanzhi vented his anger on his disciple who was not to blame.”

Staring at the direction toward Hanyang Palace for a while, Mu Chen blurted in a sudden: “Idiot!”

‘Tell him if you like him. Otherwise he is prone to getting you wrong. You even vent your anger on your disciple now! Such an idiot!”

Eventually, Mu Chen still accompanied Chu Qianshuang back to Hanyang Palace.

Sensing that Mu Chen didn’t hide his own traces, Gu Yunjue, who had been playing I-Go with his left hand against his right hand in Mu Chen’s room, immediately dropped the black piece down to the chess board, rose up and darted out of Yanyang Palace.

Gu Yunjue arrived at Hanyang Palace, only to see Mu Chen and Liu Hanzhi floating overhead in the sky, one in the east and the other in the west. Both of them just stared at each other with no talk as if two mutes were fighting with eyes, their faces looking colder than each other and the atmosphere around them so freezing as if next second they could put the world into lightning and thunders.

Liu Hanzhi’s cool look was his normal life while Mu Chen looked cold when he was furious.

No one knew how these two managed to get along with each other.

All at Hanyang Palace watched them with anxiety, fearing that they might start a fight next second so powerful that the sky or the ground might be split into pieces, the sun and the moon might be eclipsed, and even Hanyang Palace might be destroyed.

Gu Yunjue only stood in the distance and had no intention to get closer, but he read some feelings out from Mu Chen’s expressionless face: disliking, despising, and scolding the ‘idiot’ facing him.

But what was on Liu Hanzhi’s face was only embarrassment.

Finally, after a period of having a cup of tea (roughly ten minutes), Mu Chen hummed angrily, and called him: “Idiot!”

Hearing that, Liu Hanzhi’s cold face twisted.

Finishing his scolding, Mu Chen pulled Chu Qianshuang who was hiding behind him out and threw him straight to Liu Hanzhi, “How very capable of you to scare a little kid with such low IQ!” Hearing that Mu Chen said he had low IQ, Chu Qianshuang dared not to refute. And upon seeing Liu Hanzhi’s emotionless face, Chu Qianshuang couldn’t help feeling scared and naturally shrank his neck, looking quite poor and pitiful.

After his last word fell, Mu Chen came next to Gu Yunjue and walked away with his disciple hand in hand.

Sensing his Master still in anger, Gu Yunjue reached his hand to pat Mu Chen on the back, asking in a gentle tone: “Master, are you still angry?”

Mu Chen hummed, “Idiot!”

Gu Yunjue actually felt furious and hadn’t let it off when he found his Master deliberately get rid of him. But now seeing Mu Chen’s lively expressions, Gu Yunjue was amused. His little master really possessed magic charms and could easily bewitch him with one simple expression.

But those expressions on Gu Yunjue’s face didn’t fall into Mu Chen’s eyes because the latter walked in front. With the most intimate person beside, Mu Chen became rarely more talkative and huffed: “Man must know clearly what he wants. Never put on airs and never take the other’s mistake too seriously because you may not find the one you love back if you lose the other. If you want someone, grab the one tightly and firmly, don’t let the one go and don’t give up halfway! If you don’t want the one, let her go and never turn back. Doing it neatly will do good to anyone!”
