Mu Chen ate three medicinal pills and suppressed the fire poison's burning heat with difficulty. He knew that he couldn't put it off any other. He had to enter seclusion right away.

But what about his disciple. At the very least, he needed to be in seclusion for a year. In that year, who would make sure that Gu Yunjue won't be led astray by others. For the last ten years, as soon as Mu Chen stopped watching, Gu Yunjue would habitually follow others and stir up trouble, already giving Mu Chen a psychological shadow. He didn't feel reassured at all.

Over with Gu Yunjue, the disciple was stabbed by Zheng Xuansu's words and instantly let out a killing aura. Mu Chen's body was indeed sick but even Jing Ming and the others weren't aware of this. This Zheng Xuansu seemed to know too much. "Martial uncle truly is concerned about my master but wasn't sure of this utter nonsense. Where did you hear of it?" Gu Yunjue's entire gentle temperament didn't change one bit. His deep ink-colored eyes on his handsome face only glimpsing at Zhen Xuansu. Although his tone was gentle, his words were rather rude. This made Zheng Xuansu indescribably shiver inside before. There wasn't a fierce cold leaping towards his soul but he broke out into a cold sweat and felt the urge to sink to his knees to pay his respects. Bearing the intense pressure, he bit his tooth and hurriedly answered, "Nowhere. I just saw that his complexion wasn't that good so I was somewhat concerned. That's all.

Gu Yunjue let out a weak laugh, nodded, and profoundly said, "Many thanks for martial uncle's concerns towards master. This matter today, I'll inform my master word for word."

Zheng Xuansu gave a hollow laugh and didn't answer. Gu Yunjue saw that the other's eyes were somewhat evading him. Within his own eyes flashed a thought that this person was a problem.

Mu Chen got out of bed and just went through the door when he saw Gu Yunjue hurriedly flying back at an unstoppable speed and coming over to him. Mu Chen unconsciously extended his arms and allowed the other to hug his waist to his heart's content. As he helplessly stroked his disciple's head, Mu Chen put on a serious expression and said, "You're almost as tall as master but still enjoy acting like a spoiled. You need to exercise a bit of restraint."

Gu Yunjue grabbed Mu Chen's hands and investigated the other's internal spirit strength fluctuations. Without a word, he covered up the faint gloom in his eyes but still smiled as he said, "Disciple will remember to do so."

Mu Chen was powerless. He has already said these words countless times but his disciple didn't change one bit.

"Did anyone try look for trouble with you up at the main hall?" Mu Chen sat down and naturally extended his hand.

Gu Yunjue grasped the pale jade-like hand and fished out a handkerchief to gently clean each of the long delicate fingers, his eyes unexpectedly holding enjoyment in them. He hesitatingly said, "There wasn't anyone that tried to look for trouble. After all, several senior brothers were there too. But there was was someone... that wanted to introduce his daughter for me to meet."

Mu Chen's expression became icy. "Who?" That person simply had no eyes. His disciple was still so young but he unexpectedly dared to try and introduce his daughter to him, simply courting death!

Without changing his expression, Gu Yunjue said, "It was that martial uncle Zheng."

"Humph!" snorted Mu Chen with cold eyes. "It's only the outer sect disciple your grandmaster brought back for odd jobs, that's all. Just how is he a martial uncle?" The man who was beside Yue Mingze whispering into his ear seemed to be him. This made Mu Chen rather discontent. For his own affairs, why is there any need for others to get involved? He was most annoyed by people who acted like upright gentleman. They would always act like their considering other people's needs when in reality, they were vile people with despicable thoughts.
