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

Chapter 10

Chapter 10: If I Have To Marry Him, Then I'm Better Off Marrying You. Want To Marry?

Gu Yunjue turned towards Jing Ming and asked, "Just who is this Uncle Li?"

Jing Ming tilted his head. He thought for a bit before he answered, "Five years ago, he came to ask Palace Master to heal his injuries. After his injuries were healed, he wanted to pay Palace Master back before he left. From that point on, he had always been there to help Palace Master plant medicinal plants. We also have no idea about where he came from. All we know is that he is a good person."

Gu Yunjue looked down at the branches of Cold Fragrant Flowers in his arms. The pure wood spiritual power exuding from the flowers was not something that an ordinary person could possess. This was a natural gift. It wasn't something that you could simply learn. Gu Yunjue caressed the branches that were in his hand. He pushed down the doubt that stirred in his heart and suddenly smiled to himself. His little Master was someone that attracted strange people.

Mu Chen took an Essence Returning Pill and meditated for an hour. After doing so, he was finally able to heal his injured organs and body. Fortunately, that devil qi did not have the intention to attack him. It had avoided his purple dantain and spirit terrace. If it were the case where his purple dantain and spirit terrace had been attacked, then his cultivation level would have dropped. He would then have to go into seclusion in order to heal himself.

Once Mu Chen opened his eyes, they appeared to be clear and calm. At his side, there was a white flame that suddenly appeared. Mu Chen extended his finger and the flame turned into a butterfly that was slightly dancing. It landed on top of his beautiful slender finger. His clear eyes became brighter and more gloomy as it followed the movement of the flame. He thus made a resolution to himself. Once his disciple reached adulthood, he would then go out to find medicinal herbs that would rid him of the fire poison inside his body.

It was at this moment that a familiar breath was transmitted in from the outside. After Mu Chen had determined who it was, the flame on his finger disappeared. Mu Chen's figure flashed and he found himself already at the bamboo forest.

Soon after, Yue Mingze's silhouette appeared.

Once he caught sight of Mu Chen, Yue Mingze subconsciously straightened himself. Even his skin was taut. Whenever Yue Mingze saw his Martial Uncle, he was reminded of the clear mental shadow from his childhood. Seeing Mu Chen would make him feel terrified like a quail. Yue Mingze decided to get to the point of why he was here since he knew that Mu Chen didn't like when things were long-winded. "I think that there were a lot of odd factors in the matter of you being attacked by a devil cultivator. I would like to know what happened that day, if Martial Uncle could spare the time?" Yue Mingze observed Mu Chen's expression as he spoke. Yue Mingze noticed that Mu Chen's expression appeared to be a mild one. In this case, he must not be in a bad mood today. Yue Mingze felt more at ease.

Yue Mingze watched as Mu Chen made his way towards a stone table within the bamboo forest. He sat down and nodded his head towards the other side, indicating for Yue Mingze to sit down. Yue Mingze hurriedly adjusted his clothes and obediently sat down. Yue Mingze adjusted his waist and back so that they were perfectly straight.

Mu Chen felt puzzled by this. "Are you afraid of me?"

Yue Mingze shook his head around like a rattle. His face was full of cold respect. "I'm not afraid! How can I be afraid of a gentle man like Martial Uncle?!"

A few maids were unable to restrain their smiles after hearing Yue Mingze's words. There were a few people who had called their Palace Master a cold-faced nobleman. However, gentle was one description that they had not heard before.
