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

In their previous lives, Mu Chen recalled, little disciple was taller than him, when a subtle feeling arose in his mind, as if raising his chin to see little disciple would undermine his prestige as a master. How about not feeding him since tomorrow? In this way he would never grow higher. But he soon shook his head for he couldn’t bear little disciple suffering it. Faced with the dilemma in his mind, Mu Chen seemed either too cold or soft in turn.

“What did you intend to say?” Mu Chen’s thought flew back.

‘Master is still unstable’, Gu Yunjue blinked his eyes. Hence he could not say it out lest master lost temper. Instead, he swallowed up the words and simply said, “Nothing special. We can talk about this next time.”

Mu Chen stopped asking him. They stayed in the room for a long time and didn’t go out until the afternoon. Before leaving, Gu Yunjue deployed an array of traps to defense the intruders with a message left on the door, “Intruders Die!”

Mu Chen was confused about this, knocking on his disciple’s head speechlessly, “You naughty boy!” So childish was he, as an adult still interested in scaring others.

They went firstly to sign up at the registration place for the Pills Concocting Competition, then they went shopping happily. Gu Yunjue was simply a spirit stone squanderer who paid at once for whatever Mu Chen took a second look.

In the meantime, a familiar guest visited Mu Chen’s place.

Seeing the note with the words “Intruders Die!”, Chen Mo hesitated for a while before the door and then left resignedly with a smile.

At this moment, Mu Chen arrived at the Treasure Loft, a special place for treasure trading, where one could buy anything affordable ranging from weapons to pills and to ornaments.

Standing beneath a plaque of six meters long, Mu Chen felt curious at the sign of the Gazing Chen Pavilion. Who was it behind all this? He should be able to gather so much power in the immortal realm during such a short time. It was absolutely inconvincible to say that he was not planning something secretly.

“Master, are you curious about the lord of this pavilion?” Gu Yunjue smiled softly by the door.

Mu Chen nodded, “He should own business in Pill City. It develops so fast in the past years that it will undoubtedly arouse people’s curiosity.” What’s more, the Gazing Chen Pavilion hadn’t existed in his previous life, so he certainly took notice of it.

“The lord of this pavilion is said to be infatuated with someone. Hence he established the pavilion to safeguard his lover in the wish that they can love and live there all their lives without any extrinsic interruption.” A familiar voice rang behind them. Mu Chen turned around only to find Bo Jinyu speaking, “This is the most popular version in Pill City. Maybe there are more versions in other places.”

This time, he came with a lady who looked like him with similar eyes and eyebrows. Mu Chen recognized her identity, feeling it improper to make Bo Jinyu awkward anymore. So he nodded politely, greeting, “My honor to see you, Mrs. Bo.”

Mrs. Bo smiled slightly, then replied gracefully, “I’ve heard that my son made a good friend during his trip last time. Now here you are! My son surely didn’t lie to me that Master Mu is really a gorgeous man. Finally, he has a good sense.”

The corner of his mouth twitching, Mu Chen was just about to explain when he saw Bo Jinyu give him a surreptitious wink for help. Therefore, he had to give a response reluctantly. Friends? Absolutely Not!

“I was informed that new goods have arrived. So I am here to company my mother. Would you like to go with us?” Bo Jinyu changed the subject of their conversation in a hurry.

Mu Chen refused coldly, “Sorry, we have something else on schedule. Maybe next time.”

Bo Jinyu asked him modestly, “I want to concoct a pill for my father as his birthday gift. Would you please help me?”

Mu Chen: “…”
