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

Chapter 65: How time flew. Eight years just flashed by.

After a moment of silence, Mu Chen said suddenly, "Who taught you the devil cultivation?"

Gu Yunjue answered at once, "The devil cultivation is in my mind." It was true. Soul Devil Cultivation was too deeply imprinted in his spirit to be forgotten.

Mu Chen's eyes looked colder, "So it only took you a dozen years to reach the early Synthesis Stage?"

Gu Yunjue got choked by those words. Staring at Mu Chen's face, he hesitated how to explain.

"Funny. Every time one petal of the lotus on my chest disappears, your spirit veins gets hurt. Now it's all gone, and you've reached the early Synthesis Stage!" Mu Chen smiled ruefully. There was some disappointment and grievance in his tone, but more repressed rage. He clutched the wrist at his waist so hard as if he was going to break Gu Yunjue's bones. Pulling Gu Yunjue towards himself, Mu Chen gazed at the youngster with a complicated look, "Gu Yunjue, when are you gonna stop lying to me?"

Mu Chen thought he had forgotten everything in the previous life, which was unexpectedly so clear in his mind however.

Mu Chen bit his lower lip, his eyes misting a little. Gu Yunjue had betrayed him, but finally went back to the Immortal Realm for this master, where there were a lot of enemies. He broke into the Spirit Suppression Pagoda alone with no fear of them. With his black robe drenched in blood, he was looking murderous and every step he took left a bloody footprint on the ground. But he gave Mu Chen a very sincere look.

To protect Mu Chen's divine soul, Gu Yunjue transferred all of his cultivation to Mu Chen without hesitation. Everybody knew that how Devil Lord, the target of the whole Immortal Realm, would end up if he lost his cultivation. But all he wanted was to save Mu Chen, without taking his own safety into consideration in the critical point.

Gu Yunjue was lucky to get reborn. But he should come back to Mu Chen again and still tried to protect him!

If he hadn't find out, would Gu Yunjue keep holding out on him?

"Master," Looking at Mu Chen's misty eyes, for a moment Gu Yunjue didn't know what to do. He touched the corners of Mu Chen's eyes, and his fingers were shaking slightly, as if they were seared by the heat. "I..." Throat tight, he uttered a word with a hoarse voice but didn't know what else to say.

Little Master knew Gu Yunjue was reborn, who implicated him and got him killed in the previous life. So what did this look mean? Regretting taking him again as an apprentice? Unable to face the truth after all those lies? Gu Yunjue's eyes darkened, when he was suddenly taken in Mu Chen's arms before the hidden danger in his eyes was revealed.

The joy of getting Gu Yunjue back took Mu Chen's mind off all that unpleasantness temporarily.

Gu Yunjue froze. He had guessed a lot about Mu Chen's reaction after knowing the truth, among which the most common one was that Mu Chen would turn on and break up with him.

He dared not dream of a situation like this.

Noticing that Mu Chen was trembling slightly, Gu Yunjue raised his arms to hold Mu Chen tightly while his eyes were deep like the ocean. He comforted Mu Chen, "I am here."

The words were not sweet, but they did bring comfort unexpectedly.

It was only when Mu Chen sighed at the irony of fate that he realized the man in front of him had been pretending for the last decade.

Eating, dressing, sleeping, walking, bathing, everything depended on him!

In the last decade or so, the guy was like stuck to his body. They even bathed together!
