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

Moreover, Mu Chenʼs beautiful eyes were clear and fair to see other creatures. He never felt that the demon beasts were inferior or devil cultivation was against nature. He was not hypocritical to care for all beings, nor would he deliberately harm any species. This was the pure heart under Mu Chenʼs seemingly cold and aloof appearance.

Because he was pure, what he wanted was pure. As long as Gu was kind, Mu Chen would not kill him.

As expected, Mu Chen put his hand stiffly on Gu Yunjueʼs back, opened his mouth, and finally uttered after a while of silence, ”... Leave me alone, to calm down.”

Mu Chen was quite satisfied with his discipleʼs frank confession, but this fact made Mu Chen feel like a large stone pressing on his chest.

The Devil Realm was not like the Immortal Realm that was led by four sects, three islands, and five families. These major forces were interdependent and complementary to each other so that it could achieve a balance. In devil realm, only the strongest one could obtain respect and govern the vast chaotic realm as the human emperor did on the earth.

The contemporary Devil Lord had ruled the devil realm for more than 800 years. People had already forgotten his name but only knew that he was cruel, merciless and heavy-handed. As the leader of the devils, he was so domineering that no one dared to disobey.

In recent years, the devil realm played some little tricks ceaselessly to sound out the immortal realmʼs reaction. For instance, the boundary between the immortal realm and devil realm was attacked frequently, which just proved their ambitions.

In the forbidden area under the control of the four sects, there stood the Anti-Devil Pillar guarding the immortal realm. As long as the Anti-Devil Pillar was destroyed, the boundary connecting the two realms would be broken. By then, devils would be able to invade successfully to plunge the immortal realm into misery and suffering.

In his previous life, Gu Yunjue did launch a sneak attack on the forbidden area to destroy the Anti-Devil Pillar.

Mu Chen looked at the disciple beside him with complex mood in his eyes, ”Why did you come to the immortal realm?”

Holding Mu Chenʼs hands and feeling the shudder of his cold fingertips, Gu Yunjue covered them with his palm lovingly and tried to warm them up. Thinking it was better to be frank than concealing the truth by now, Gu Yunjue directly fell on Mu Chenʼs knees. His calm voice didnʼt reveal any of his mood.

”I am just his pawn to implement his ambition. He believes that by virtue of my talented aptitude, as soon as I am accepted by the four sects, I will be the inner disciple. Then, it will not be difficult for me to reach the forbidden area.”

Mu Chenʼs eyes went dim as he thought secretly that it was right as he expected.

He should be glad that Gu Yunjue did not lie to him.

However, as soon as Gu Yunjue exposed his identity, Lofty Cloudy Sect would become the target of criticism in the immortal realm. When he looked down, Gu Yunjue, who was burying his head on his masterʼs laps, let all his guard down. He could reach out and pinch the fragile neck easily so that he could put an end to all hidden dangers in the future...

Mu Chenʼs fingers trembled. But the thought finally vanished in a flash. He wondered why he reincarnated to live this life.

Mu Chen never expected to bring up a disciple who would care for the whole universe. He only hoped that he and his disciple could avoid the previous fate so as to do whatever they want and live in freedom.

After thinking about it, Mu Chen frowned and patted on Gu Yunjueʼs neck. He sighed tiredly, thinking that since he had made the decision, he must protect Gu. He was just the kind of people that kept going without looking back.

There was a trace of exhaustion in the cold words, but more was unchangeable firmness.

”Yunʼer, we shall then find a chance to get out of Lofty Cloudy Sect someday, so as not to get them into trouble.”

Gu Yunjue suddenly looked up. There was a light in Guʼs eyes, but was quickly concealed. He stared at Mu Chenʼs face in surprise, seemingly so happy like an innocent boy, ”Did Master mean that you want to elope with me?”

Mu Chen felt speechless, ”...Get out!”

Mu Chen lifted his leg and kicked Gu Yunjue on his chest. Such an evil disciple, had no respect for his master. It was really necessary to kill him!
