Chapter 75: If, however, he can’t let it go, it suffices to say the love is not deep enough. (1/2)

Gu Yunjue covered his ears as he tried to save his ears from Mu Chen’s hands and diverted Mu Chen’s attention, ”Master, calm down. The inheritance I took this time was different from that in the last time. You gotta let me explain.”

Mu Chen raised his eyebrows, wearing an expression indicating that he would kill Gu for good if the explanation was not interesting. Mu Chen let go of Gu’s ears, staring at Gu.

Gu Yunjue, rubbing his ear, explained hurriedly, ”In my previous life, once I accepted the inheritance, and got the sword, I was kicked out of the secret boundary, and it collapsed afterwards. But this time, there was something unexpected, a small accident to be exact. The inheritance guard showed up from nowhere and asked me a question.”

Mu Chen tilted his head doubtfully, seemingly calmed and composed, but a touch of curiosity was obvious in his eyes.

Gu Yunjue, however, paused and stopped explaining. He instead looked at Mu Chen, eyes full of admiration and expectation,like a rabbit that could be dealt with easily, but was kind of naughty and mischievous.

Mu Chen clenched his fist and pursed his mouth sulkily, suppressing the impulsion to kick him in the butt. He wanted to know what had happened between Gu and the inheritance guard, yet he was reluctant to ask for it directly.

Gu Yunjue thought about enough being enough and teasing his master any further would backfire, like committing suicide. So, he continued seriously, “The guard wanted to know my fundamental cause for accepting the inheritance. And, my answer was ‘to protect my love.’”

Mu Chen, agitated and bashful, clenched his fist again, chewing on whether to give him a punch.

Gu Yunjue suppressed a smile and went on, “This place was once the palace of the former owner of Heaven Bell. Through the inheritance, the owner intended to find not only a descendant, but also someone who could help him to complete an unfulfilled wish—find his partner.”

Mu Chen frowned and couldn’t understand what Gu was talking about.

Gu Yunjue continued, ”The guard and owner bequeathed me a map of the Demon Realm, and asked me to find Earth Bell there with the help of it. By then the two bells should be united and integrated into a complete Protection Soul Bell. By the way, he gave me his palace too. Now I’m the owner of this boundary.” With this, Gu took out one map and handed it over to Mu Chen. Mu, however, didn’t look at it, but inquired out of curiosity, ”Why do you tell me these?”

Gu Yunjue narrowed his eyes, smiled, and said, ”Master, if you don’t tell me who had the filthy conspiracy against you earlier, I would activate all the trapping mechanisms, and kill all the cultivators on my land, every one of them, including those seedlings of Lofty Cloudy Sect.”

Mu Chen pulled a long face and said in a cold voice, ”Dare you try it!” The way his damned disciple smiled and talked about killing people like killing bugs just disturbed him.

Gu Yunjue, as if being hurt by Mu’s manner, grabbed his hands and complained in grievance, “Master doesn’t love me anymore. How could you be such a heartbreaker?”

Mu Chen gnashed his teeth, “ME…A HEARTBREAKER?”

Gu Yunjue nodded to confirm the remark, as if he was truly heartbroken and needed some sweet consolation from Mu Chen.

Mu Chen took a deep breath, and was quite aware that the more he haggled with Gu, the more the unruly disciple would demand. Mu looked down at the map with a cold face and decided to ignore him.

To Mu’s surprise, he found the map quite interesting. It looked familiar yet Mu couldn’t remember when and where he had seen it before.

At the moment, the thirteen-ring glaze interlock toy was on the table and Gu Yunjue, in a try to draw Mu’s attention, took two rings up and interlinked them with a “clank”.

Mu Chen, lost in thought, suddenly hit on an idea when hearing the sound.

“Ah”

”What's the matter?” Gu Yunjue asked curiously.

”Nothing,” Mu Chen turned his face to the other side indifferently.

Originally, Gu Yunjue wanted to make fun of Mu and only intended to distract him, so he could enjoy his master’s changeable expression alongside. As for the incident happened to Mu Chen earlier, Gu could figure it out easily. There were quite a lot of memory crystals here. With them, Gu could find out whatever he wanted to know. However, he didn't expect he had gone too far and annoyed Mu Chen.

Moreover, at the moment, Mu was still in anger, and naturally would not tell him any finding. Gu Yunjue suddenly rued the teasing.

But seeing Mu Chen's appearance, Gu couldn't help but want to laugh. ‘Master is demonstrating his temper? It’s pretty cute.’

Mu Chen threw Gu a glance, with a slight touch of distain in his eyes. “The evil spawn looks like an idiot. I might have kicked him in the head just now. If I had known the consequences then, I would have struck him for good. A moron will bother me no more.”

While Mu Chen was weighing the idea, Gu Yunjue waved his handsand a big spirit screen appeared in front of him, from which everyone in the secret boundary could be seen.

”Let’s first send off the cultivators from the four major sects,” Gu Yunjue thought and threw them all out of the secret boundary. As for the unorganized disciples, who was reluctant to leave and escaped from the traps, they all came with not bad cultivation and sought a lot of benefits here.

Gu Yunjue smirked, “Those cheeky bastards, I shall strip them off whatever they have had here before kicking them out.”
