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

Before Mu Chen became panic, the power controlling him suddenly was reinforced, and Mu was thrown into a stone chamber; only by then did the force fade away.

Sitting on the ground, Mu Chenʼs immediate reaction was to find Gu Yunjueʼs location. However, Mu felt nothing, not even their bond.

Mu Chen tried again and again with every conceived method to sense Gu Yunjueʼs location. But he couldnʼt find anything. Nor did Mu find any way out.

For the moment, Mu Chen felt stabbed in the heart, empty and agonized, as if his flesh was cut away.

Mu Chen lost his disciple and this time he even didnʼt know where to find Gu Yunjue.

Mu Chen wore a frosted face and every breath he took made him so painful.

”Icy water turns things into ice. It cannot be touched by anyone except the Descendant of Guard,” Bai Xiaoyue read out the words inscribed on the wall. Then Bai said in surprise, ”My Lord, we are at the bottom of the Spirit Lifeline!”

Bai Xiaoyueʼs words reminded Mu Chen. He looked up towards Fire Bead, and saw a fist-size jade ball hovering in the air, from which chill could be felt.

The ball was surrounded by a layer of moisture, which formed into droplets and turned into Ice Soul Pearl once they fell.

A sapphire plate was placed under the ball, where an ice droplet from the ball was kept. It lay quietly in the plate like a pearl, waiting for someone to take it away. Or, someone knew that somebody would come to take the Ice Soul Pearl, and saved one in advance for him.

Mu Chen didnʼt touch the pearl, but instead looked at the words in the wall, which posed formidable force and confused Mu. ”Who is the Descendant of Guard? I am? What is the guard for? Descendant from whom?”

When Mu Chen thought about those questions, his attention suddenly was attracted by unobtrusive words inscribed in the table by the plate, which read, ”Whether it is your responsibility or destiny, you shall know that weal comes with woe. As your mom and dad, we wish that you would be an ordinary person. We hope you find someone you love, and lead a simple life with your lover forever. My son, I wish you never return to the Mu family. You shall live out of your destiny, and live for yourself.”

After reading the words, Mu Chen understood what the writer meant. He was astounded and froze there for a long time.
