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

Chapter 12

Chapter 12: The Wind Blows and Chrysanthemum and Balls Go Cold, Nowhere is Good

What Gu Yunjue saw the moment he opened his eyes was a Cold Fragrant Flower tree that he was unable to see in its entirety. Beneath the parasol-shaped treetop, there were strips of pink flower bud branches fluttering freely into the air. With their arrival, the myriad of flower buds bloomed. The fresh elegant scent of the flowers became more concentrated. A short while later, countless insects, birds, and butterflies began to take off. They hovered within the forest, flying and dancing as they hovered. The entire scene seemed to depict something out of a fantasy.

The corners of Mu Chen's mouth rose upwards. He stroked Gu Yunjue's head and gently said, "They like you, Yun'er. Are you happy?"

Gu Yunjue watched the scene in front of him with amazement. Flowers and plants have spirits and they appeared to be welcoming him. Gu Yunjue knew that the person they were blooming for was the person that their fate was with and also the man who planted them, which was his Master.

Mu Chen believed that Gu Yunjue was a child and that he should like it if other people approved of him. This was why he weaved a dream-like lie together. Gu Yunjue raised his head. He looked at Mu Chen's gentle face and smiled. "I like it. I like it a lot." His little Master not only attracted animals near to him, but he also had flowers bloom for him. He wanted to protect his Master well through fortune and disaster because of his Master's pure-white soul.

Mu Chen's taut shoulders finally relaxed from Gu Yunjue's words. He then walked forward and planted the tiny branch that he was holding into the ground.

Gu Yunjue followed behind his Master and crouched by his side. "Does Master like this kind of flower?"

Mu Chen nodded in response. Dan Yanzi, his Master, loved this type of flower. He would feel more at home in places where many of these Cold Fragrant Flowers were planted at. His mood was more peaceful near these flowers. Thus, Mu Chen would plant a branch of these flowers every single day after the ascension of his Master. Some lived while others died. He didn't insist for them to live and instead, he let nature take its course. If Mu Chen ever felt restless, then he would come to this place to take a look. The matters that Yue Mingze had mentioned earlier undoubtedly made him a little bit unhappy.

Gu Yunjue smiled and he helped Mu Chen pull his sleeves up. He seriously said to Mu Chen, "Your disciple will plant Cold Fragrant Flowers in every place that Master likes, so that they will only bloom for Master."

After hearing the strong words of his disciple, Mu Chen could feel his heart warming up. The Gu Yunjue currently was cute and warm like a small long furred animal. Mu Chen nodded his head in appreciation and heavily said, "Alright." He knew that this was something that the average person could not accomplish. This was because this type of flower was unreasonable. Some of these flowers wouldn't bloom even if a million years had passed. However, since his disciple had said that he would plant these flowers for his Master, then Mu Chen did not want to crack his disciple's self-confidence.

Gu Yunjue beamed at Mu Chen. His Master would believe in him no matter what he said. The kind of wholehearted trust that Mu Chen put into him completely satisfied Gu Yunjue's overbearing and flamboyant side.

Mu Chen looked at the satisfied appearance of his little disciple. He sighed inside his heart. It was probably because his disciple's confidence had suffered many blows in his childhood that he grew up so twisted. A child this age still needed lots of praise.

After Mu Chen had finished planting the branch, he led Gu Yunjue to the depths of the forest. With a wave of his hand, he cut apart the tie that was keeping the boundary closed. A simple wooden cabin suddenly appeared in front of their eyes. The cabin wasn't very large. It's dimensions were only a couple square meters. They could see that the person who made the cabin wasn't very skillful. The pieces of the cabin were scattered here and there. The cabin didn't even have a window.
