Chapter 33: Drawing back his sight, Gu Yunjue's eyes looked dark as ink, deep as the ocean and serene with danger and killing intent hidden beneath. (2)

At the same time, Gu Yunjue, who hadn't realized he had already become someone's target, was not in a good mood either because Mu Chen suddenly received some message he didn't know, then got rid of him and flied away. Gu Yunjue kept his freezing eyes on the back of Mu Chen and saw his little master disappear out of his sight like the wind he couldn't catch, leaving him only to watch his Master leave away from him.

Although seeming calm on his face, even no complaints being caught in his eyes, still the killing intent extended from Gu Yunjue revealed his terrible mood now. He could catch up with his Master but he couldn't do that because his devilish power might be exposed. In that case, he would lose the one he wanted to protect. He couldn't afford such a heavy loss.

Sensing that threatening killing intent, Guan Shan, who had just arrived in a hurry, paused where he was immediately and dared not to get a step closer.

Gu Yunjue drew back his sight and his eyes looked dark as the ink, deep as the dark ocean whose end no one could see through, and serene with terrifying danger and killing intent hidden beneath.

Guan Shan's heart trembled at that glance and he said hastily: "Young Master, what you asked me to investigate is all here. Please check it." With that, Guan Shan handed a jade slip over before Gu Yunjue in a polite manner with his head lowered.

Gu Yunjue took the jade lip and read it over soon, his face, which looked fairly calm minutes ago, was now decorated with a flicker of smile, his tone sounding as usual but the killing intent hidden in his words made Guan Shan shudder out of fright.

'I know that. I know once Young Master hears about this news, he will become furious.'

"So, I see." Gu Yunjue slightly narrowed his eyes and crashed the jade slip into pieces. He had ordered his men to investigate the relationship between Mu Chen and Chen family, and now the result was in his hand.

'His Master, who he cherishes with all his heart, does have such a family behind him.'

'No wonder my little master has such a cold temperament.'

The powers controlling the Immortal World included four Sects, three Islands and five Clans, and Chen was one of the five Clans. Mu Chen's mother - Chen Yixin was the beloved daughter of the last leader of Chen Clan, who had such an exceedingly beautiful appearance and an outstanding talent that her family placed great hope on her; but no one had expected that her spiritual vein would be destroyed when she was out learning through experience, and worse, she got pregnant before marriage and eventually gave birth to Mu Chen.

In two years after Mu Chen was born, she passed away.

However, Mu Chen's father never appeared even when his mother died. No one knew anything about his father except for his family name, Mu.

Chen family all hated Mu Chen's father who they even considered as the chief criminal of Chen Yixin's death. Then, Mu Chen, who was just two years old at that time, lived alone in Chen family. Without Chen Mo, his little master's elder cousin's shelter, Mu Chen would have already been executed. But even so, Mu Chen had been mistreated and almost killed several times. Mu Chen managed to grow up to 13 years old with the help of Chen Mo. To have someone accompany Mu Chen, Chen Mo particularly adopted Liu Hanzhi who was ever an orphan as Mu Chen's playmate. So Liu Hanzhi and Mu Chen lived together since very young, bound to each other much more intimate than true brothers.
