Chapter 66: 'Surely he has grown up now to absent himself from intimacy with me.'

Mu Chen froze stiff while opening the box that Yue Mingze had brought.

Yue Mingze explained, "Sect Master Yu has entrusted me with giving this herb to you for urgent use."

Mu Chen nodded understandingly, "It seems that Yu Tianyi and you get along quite well with each other since he believes you to supervise the herb." 'Yu Tianyi is really effective that it should cost him so short a time to find the herb. I have lost so many years in seclusion. Seemingly it brooks no delay to go to Snow City.'

On hearing that, Yue Mingze consciously swallowed briefly with his eyes flickering.

Mu Chen raised his head and just caught Yue's subtle motion. He asked confusedly, "What's up?"

"Nothing!" Yue Mingze shook his head hurriedly.

"Tut! It seems that something bothers you." Mu Chen's eyes ran down Yue Mingze with curiosity.

"Actually, I do have something to discuss with Master." Yue Mingze looked down with shyness while rubbing the teacup with his fingers from time to time.

Mu Chen knew that this small gesture only appeared when Yue Mingze felt disturbed. It had been twenty years since Yue Mingze became the Chief Master. Theoretically, he would have changed this habit. But it was out of expectation that he remained the same, which just stimulated Mu Chen's curiosity. However, Mu Chen just drunk the tea and looked at the other confusedly, waiting him to continue.

Yue Mingze took a deep breath, pretending to mention it inadvertently, "What do you think of strengthening the bonds between Lofty Cloudy Sect and Ten Thousand Sword Sect by marriage?"

Mu Chen nodded. 'It will absolutely consolidate the two sects' positions in the immortal world so others won't dare to stir up troubles on us in the future. But the marriage will only be effective when the couples are of high status.'

So he just shot his mouth off, "Who?"

Yue Mingze raised his head and answered earnestly, "Me."

Mu Chen opened his eyes wide with surprise and stretched out his hand to touch Yue's forehead when Gu Yunjue just walked over and hastened to block Mu Chen. "He is not sick. Master may stop."

Mu Chen twitched the corner of his mouth, his eyes getting subtle toward Yue Mingze. 'Then why a healthy chief master wants to marry someone for alliance.'

He asked curiously, while taking a sip of the tea, "And the other is?"

"Sect Master Yu."

"Puff!"

Mu Chen directly spurted the tea on Yue's face in surprise. At this moment, Gu Yunjue was gathering Mu Chen's hair with a dark green hairpin. Seeing Mu Chen shocked, Gu put the comb down, took over the teacup from Mu Chen and wiped master's mouth as well as his fingers carefully with a handkerchief.

Yue Mingze felt speechless at Mu Chen's reaction while cleaning the water on his face with the handkerchief that the servant offered. Suddenly he felt a chill at his neck. Yue Mingze raised his head confusedly, only to see Gu Yuejue staring at him coldly, which obviously indicated the other's discontent at Mu Chen's chock caused by him.

Yue Mingze also felt wronged, complaining secretly, 'Who thought Martial Uncle would be so surprised. This Junior Brother is more and more unperceivable who becomes even more domineering than Martial Uncle Mu these years. Is that really my misconception?'
