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

For the moment, Gu Yunjue let go off Muʼs waist and turned to hold his hand, which made Mu frigid for a moment before he soon interlocked their fingers together. Feeling the warmth from Guʼs palm, Mu was eased.

Seeing Gu Yunjue smile at him, Mu Chen, heart warmed, unwittingly smiled back. Muʼs mood was lit up. ”As long as my young disciple is around me, all sorts of uneasiness disappear, as if blown away by the wind.” The two had been together before, now they were bonded, and would always live side by side. Alive or dead, they should never be apart. There was nothing to worry about.

Mu Chen held Gu Yunjueʼs hand tightly and said casually, ”Letʼs go.”

Following his intuition, Mu Chen took Gu Yunjue and passed by numerous caves until they came to a stone door.

A shocking power permeated the cave from beyond the door.

Gu Yunjue sensed the danger and withdrew his usual mischief, while Azure Fire Sword in his hand roared and unleashed surging killing intent.

Mu Chen made a fire ball and wielded it. The two exchanged a look, then Mu Chen walked into the stone cave and Gu Yunjue followed when suddenly two strands of power gushed out. The domineering one enveloped Mu Chen and pulled him inside.

Mu Chen was astounded, and subconsciously grabbled Gu Yunjue tightly only to find the other soft power instantly wrapped Gu. The two powers worked like two people cooperated to separate them. Both the disciple and the master suddenly were unable to mobilize their spirit power. Because of being pulled by the unknown power, the tightly held hands gradually loosened, while Mu Chenʼs fire ball attack ended up damaging nothing.

Mu Chen, fingers trembling, looked at Gu Yunjue, worried.

Mu Chen was never separated with Gu Yunjue, let alone in such weird situation. In their previous life, they had parted once and never met again. Because of this, Mu Chen unconsciously avoided separation from Gu Yunjue. Wherever Gu went, Mu followed and didnʼt allow Gu Yunjue to walk out of his sight.

”Donʼt be afraid,” Gu Yunjue said softly to console Mu Chen, and wielded his sword to cut off the power separating them. Taking use of the break, the two held each otherʼs hands and got closer, while the two strings of powers rebounded. Gu Yunjue gnashed his teeth, and was about to take another move, while Mu Chen detected his intention and scolded after sensing that Gu Yunjueʼs meridians already got hurt, ”Stop it! Are you asking for death?”

”Master…” Gu Yunjue couldnʼt finish his words as he continued to fight with the control and tried to wield his spirit power, which internally injured his body with blood oozing down his lip.

”Rebellious disciple!” scolded Mu Chen, as he felt Gu Yunjueʼs fingers with his heart aching, ”Stop using spirit power. Let go of me.”

The force separating them was almighty, stronger than everything they knew. Fighting it any longer could end up injuring both of them. They had better wait to see what was going to happen.

When confronting with such an irresistible force, Mu Chen felt again the pain of powerlessness.

In his previous life, Mu Chen was as powerless as he was right now. No matter how hard Mu tried, never was he able to master his own destiny. Nor did he in this life. Such mighty power made Mu look like an ant, which could be terminated easily. Mu Chenʼs eyes instantly turned red. To Mu Chen, failing to protect his most concerned person—his little disciple, was his real inner demon.

The only thing he cared, from last life to this, was Gu Yunjue.

Gu Yunjue was aware of Mu Chenʼs mind. Thanks to their partner bond, they could hug each otherʼs divine soul. Gu kissed Mu Chen, solaced him and said, ”Donʼt be afraid, no matter where you go, I will find you.”

Mu Chenʼs anxiety was slightly eased, and his heart was not so desperate.

Gu Yunjue then felt for his fingertips and smiled, ”Trust me.”

As soon as the words fell, the force suddenly intensified and pulled Gu Yunjue away. Mu Chen widened his eyes and watched Gu disappear from his sight together with Guʼs soul. No trace of Guʼs existence could be perceived. The door gradually disappeared and eventually merged into the stone wall.

Mu Chen, terrified, touched the wall with his trembling fingertips, and couldnʼt figure out what had happened, as if his heart beat slower. Since Mu Chen apprenticed Gu Yunjue as his disciple, they had never been apart, let alone under such a dangerous situation.
