Chapter 61: sI’ve fallen in love with Master ten years ago at the first sight.” (1/2)

Translator: Claire.KK

As the relation among Gu Yunjue, Gazing Chen Pavilion and the devil realm was figured out, Mu Chen bit his under-lip, feeling a sudden heartache.

Not noticing Mu Chen’s complexion, Gu Yunjue stood the pain and smiled with a sexy curl at his thin lips, “Master, when are you going to drop me down?”

Mu Chen brought back his mind from those thoughts and realized that he was clinging to his almost naked disciple who had been wet all over the body with only a pair of briefs on. Holding this disciple in his arms, Mu Chen was also soaked to the skin that each could feel the other’s warmth through Mu Chen’s saturated clothing.

Mu Chen looked down at this beautiful youngster who had grown up now, seemingly lost in thought. With a glance, he just caught Gu staring at him and was stunned a while by the trust and dependence rooted in this disciple’s eyes. Mu Chen put Gu discreetly in the second bucket with spirit air lingering around, before he turned his head and wore a cold look to prevent the other seeing through him.

Following his previous thoughts, if Gu Yunjue was clamped down by the Devil Lord as a puppet, it explained the fact that Gu Yunjue betrayed the immortal realm in the last life? How could the child be so scheming at sixteen? Should he believe his own disciple being helpless to do so without any other choice? He had just been five years old or so. How could he establish such a powerful force himself? It would have collapsed in any lack of the financial, material and human resources.

With this youngster staying around him all those years, Mu Chen had already regarded Gu Yunjue as the most important person to him as well as his only hope in this life. Therefore, he tried his best to find excuses for this disciple by telling himself that somebody must have coerced him.

However, he himself knew how ridiculous this idea was. This person had concealed him so deep without divulging any clue. How could this bastard still be his innocent disciple?

With the herbal materials penetrating through Gu’s body, his spiritual meridians started to recover gradually. Tormented by both the feelings of itches and pains at the same time as if trillions of ants were biting him, Gu Yunjue gave a chocked groan. ‘Little Master does love me. How many precious herbs has he put in to make it work so quickly?’

Grievous as he was, he should currently plan deep in his heart to let Bai Yi exchange the medicated bath for some millions of spirit stones.

“Master?” Gu Yunjue called. Mu Chen didn’t look straight at him until his call. Feeling some unknown mood hidden in this master’s eyes, Gu Yunjue clenched his fist under the water while showing an easy look deliberately, “If I die before Master finds the Ice Soul Pearl…” His pupils constricted instantly while saying those words.

“Nonsense!” Mu Chen paused his hands and berated coldly, “So long as I’m alive, I won’t let you die!” Mu Chen felt tightened in his heart as if it was grabbed by something. ‘You’ve been so ill now. How can you still think about the Ice Soul Pearl, bastard! Whether you are coerced by someone or not, I need a clear explanation after you’re completely recovered.’

Gu Yunjue gripped Mu Chen and pulled him closer when he just stood up half nakedly. The upper part of his body presented a smooth line, with his shoulders almost on an even height with Mu Chen’s. It was imaginable that Gu Yunjue would grow much taller than now.

Maybe it was because Mu Chen treated Gu Yunjue so heartily that this disciple got taller compared to the same period in his last life. Right before Mu Chen, Gu Yunjue had reached the height of Mu Chen’s nose tip.

Mu Chen raised his brows, unaware of Gu’s intention of doing that.

Right at this moment, Gu Yunjue locked his dim eyesight on the thin lips before him and kissed it fiercely.

Mu Chen just felt numb over his mouth and his brain, his mind buzzing like a stirred string!

It tightened…it was goanna break…

“You evil disciple!” Mu Chen raised his hand subconsciously when Gu Yunjue had fallen back into the water with a grievous look as if it was the last kiss before his death. Mu Chen gnashed his teeth with anger, feeling like striking this evil disciple a palm. But Gu Yunjue was too weak to bear it.

To kill him? He didn’t have the heart to do that!

“If Master thinks you’ve suffered a loss, I’m ready to let you kiss back.” Gu Yunjue tapped his mouth with his finger. Although he became almost numb to the physical affliction, he seemed quite satisfied.

Mu Chen pouted his mouth, narrowed his eyes, and asked seriously all of a sudden, “You do like this Master, don’t you?”

Gu Yunjue retrieved his frivolous attitude, “Yes, I like Master all the time, as long as I myself can’t even recollect when the feelings were nursed.”

Mu Chen gave a cold smile and said tiredly, “You’ve just accompanied me for ten years or so. It can’t be that long as you claimed.”

Gu Yunjue smiled, “Then it must be that we already have entanglement in the last life, so I’ve fallen in love with Master ten years ago at the first sight in this life.”

Mu Chen looked down. Although he didn’t believe in Gu’s nonsense that seemed to be prepared for kids. But ten years ago, Gu Yunjue came to the immortal world from the devil realm when Gazing Chen Pavilion was just established.

He closed his eyes to conceal his complex expression and said indifferently, “You meditate there to heal your meridians. I’m tired.”

Saying that, he just headed straight toward the bedroom without looking back and shut the door, leaving a thin but upright back to Gu Yunjue.

Gu Yunjue rested his chin on the edge of the bucket, smiling, “I see.” However, his eyes didn’t seem as easy as those words sounded but were actually wrapped with a layer of night-like darkness to be hardly explored.

Mu Chen attempted to find some evidence that could prove Gu Yunjue’s innocence through a round of inquiry in the branch of Gazing Chen Pavilion. As a result, he only found it a normal place for business, with nothing susceptible.

Back to the inn, Mu Chen sat on the roof and looked vaguely up at the starry sky, his heart totally in a mess.

At this time he saw a black figure flash in the air. Then a man fell in front of him abruptly.

The man was, seemingly at his twenties, in a bony build of the medium height and wore a black robe. Although he wasn’t good-looking, his air was restrained and mysterious to be figured out. What Mu Chen cared most was the other’s faintly blood-colored eyes, which exposed him to be a murderous devil cultivator at a glance.

The other just stared at him without saying a word.

As Mu Chen wasn’t loquacious even in daily life, so he also remained silent and only regarded the other as a passerby.

After a few minutes, the other smiled abruptly, asking curiously, “You are not going to kill me?”

“Why will I kill you since I don’t even know you?” Mu Chen thought this man was somehow ill at his brain. He would be exhausted to death if he killed any devil cultivator he met with.

The man just wouldn’t let it go, “Don’t you immortal cultivators always treat the other alien cultivators as dishonest and crooked ones, especially those retreated into the devil from the immortal?”

Mu Chen responded impatiently, “That would be definitely stupid. There is no distinction of good or bad cultivations. Bad cultivation becomes good in good people’s hands, while good cultivation becomes bad in bad people’s hands. Therefore, no one can determine a person being good or bad only by virtue of his cultivation.”

The other sat down in a safe distance with Mu Chen, showing some interest, “You’re quite interesting!”
