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

Chapter 83: Gu Yunjue snickered, "I've already defeated Heaven."

Feng Jiuli wore fine red clothes, and sit cozily on the city master's throne, while maidservant stood by with wine jug, ready to fill his cup. On the other side, the fatty Bai Xiaoyu sat on the ground, like a ball. Bai resentfully watched Feng Jiuli in his throne with his pair of small eyes, frowning from time to time, yet daring not to speak up. The silent resentment made him look like a loaf of punched white bread.

Feng Jiuli had no intention to give back the throne to Bai Xiaoyu, and still acted like a super cool City Master. When Mu Chen and Gu Yunjue flew aback, and stopped in front of the mansion, they were astounded to see such a "harmonious" picture. The sister, Bai Xiaoyue was helplessly exasperated to find her younger brother so useless.

Mu Chen turned to Bai Xiaoyue and asked curiously, "The rooster is of fire root, yet Snow City's masters are all of ice root. How could your people not find the difference? Do they judge people only by their appearance?"

"Er..." Bai Xiaoyue blushed instantly in embarrassment. Mu Chen's words sounded teasing and irony, yet he looked so innocent and honest in putting the question out. Notwithstanding, Mu's question was not easy to answer, because nobody thought of checking into Feng Jiuli's cultivation, while her younger brother didn't come up with the idea to prove him the real master. Snow City hadn't been into any danger for years, and the citizens were so accustomed to peace that their response to the situation was...so embarrassing.

Mu Chen couldn't help but shake his head and mulled that the city master was born imbecile while his people's mind were frost-bitten. He was wondering if such an intelligence crisis could be cured or not.

Gu Yunjue snickered and stroked a strand of Mu Chen's hair, saying dotingly, "Master, when you're not busy, you may create enlightening pills to see if they could be turned clever."

Mu Chen nodded earnestly and acclaimed his young disciple's suggestion. "Wow, little disciple has his way with words. His proposal could be feasible."

Lowering her head, Bai Xiaoyue, however, was so embarrassed that she couldn't help finding a place to hide herself.

Feng Jiuli saw Mu Chen and Gu Yunjue return, put down his cup and asked in surprise, "I cannot believe you are back!"

Mu Chen said in a cold voice, "Do you mean we should not come back?"

"No," Feng Jiuli didn't mind Mu Chen's indifference. He smiled and picked up his cup, toasted them and said, "I was thinking that someone wanted to claim your life. I didn't expect you could return safely. It is really gratifying."

Gu Yunjue poked Mu Chen at his waist, approached his tender auricle, and ridiculed, "This is the intuition of the beast."

Mu Chen turned his head, looked at Gu Yunjue and nodded. Mu's eyes turned lively and had an appreciative look flash to his disciple. "The unruly disciple is getting smarter. I shall watch out for him, or else it will be too late when I am led by the nose. However, Feng Jiuli's beast instinct was indeed very accurate. Shouldn't there be the divine sense protecting us, I couldn't find Ice Soul Pearl so quickly, nor could we come out of the stone chamber so easily." Thinking about the person who helped him, Mu Chen sighed again in his mind. The person must have calculated in advance that Mu Chen would encounter such calamity, and made so many arrangements and preparations.

Seeing Mu Chen lost in his thoughts, Bai Xiaoyue whispered a reminder, "My Saint, how about the plea I asked for earlier..."

Mu Chen blinked, and Gu Yunjue, who was standing by, handed over a white snowflake jade, which was the token of City Master's identity. Bai Xiaoyue led them to the Snow Girl's Tower and obtained the jade. Bai pleaded Mu Chen to help her and her younger brother to take back their palace. Mu Chen agreed to her request, as he needed to refine medicine and pills here. What's more, the person that helped him cared for Snow City, which made Mu Chen unwilling to see someone other than the Bai family to take hold of Snow City.
