Chapter 22: CH 22

Ding Yi could only reluctantly refuse, her expression bitter:

“Master Lu, that… Yueshi has always had a weak body and is extremely shy. He needs someone around at all times, and I’m constantly worried about him. May- maybe we should wait until he’s older before sending him to the sect?”

It was such a stupid excuse, she couldn’t even force herself to believe it.

“That’s fine.” Said Lu Liheng gently, the corners of his lips forming a cryptic smile: “It’s just that- it must be very difficult for Miss Ding to care for a young child, all by herself, without even a place to call home. It really breaks my heart.”

Ding Yi felt her pulse quicken.That was clearly a threat.

In Lu Liheng’s eyes, she was a dangerous demonic cultivator, and so the fact that she lived in the mortal realm was already inappropriate in his eyes. The act of keeping around a child seemed even more suspicious.

What should I do?

There was no problem when Master Lu saw Mu Yueshi’s potential, but there’s a big problem if he thinks that I’m scheming something!

Ding Yi felt so anxious her heart could stop from the stress.

The system said coldly:

Calm down, he’s planning on testing you to see if you’re dangerous before going into the city. As long as the target refuses, Lu Liheng won’t force it.

Ding Yi: For real? Please don’t try to trick me! If I get exterminated while attempting to take Mu Yueshi away, it’ll be all your fault!

It was amazing that despite the direness of the situation, Ding Yi still cared about the ownership of responsibility for a situation that has yet to be realized.

The system made no effort to humor her, casually tossing out a page of Lu Liheng’s character biography for her to see.

Ding Yi quickly skimmed the contents, keeping in mind the more important points.

Meanwhile, Lu Liheng’s gentle smile could barely hide the severity that laid behind it, nearly stopping Ding Yi’s breath in its tracks.

Mu Yueshi is looking at me with such expectation… Ding Yi took a deep breath and stiffly said:

“E-even so, this child has lived with me for so long. Difficult or not, we’re already used to it. Also… Master Lu is about to advance, and it’s necessary to devote every second to training, so I’m afraid there will be nobody to take care of Yueshi.”

If the info the system gave was to be trusted, Lu Liheng was about to go into closed door training to advance. Maybe that’s why he’s in such a hurry to return to the sect right now.

It was a rule in the Yuling sect that the sect leader’s successor must return to the sect when they are about to advance, so they would be guarded by the sect elders for the duration of the advancement. This was to prevent any accidents from happening to the successor.

Currently, Lu Liheng had no direct disciples. And when he goes into closed door training, there would be nobody to care for Mu Yueshi. If some jealous fellow sect members chose that opportunity to come and harass Mu Yueshi, wouldn’t that add another trauma to the boss’s heart?

After a good deal of hindsight, Ding Yi finally figured out what the problem was and felt herself break out in cold sweat. So that’s why the system kept warning her, she almost failed her mission!

It was obvious from his expression that Lu Liheng had not expected Ding Yi to know about his situation and to also say it with such bluntness.

He was stunned for a brief moment before returning to his previous amiable disposition, and he repeated something he said earlier:

“Miss Ding, you are indeed very interesting.”

Ding Yi felt confused. Which inch of her was interesting exactly?

But it seemed that the system was right. Lu Liheng did not force the issue any further. He only asked Mu Yueshi once again to confirm his answer.

“I don’t want to leave Ding Yi,” mumbled Mu Yueshi stubbornly, clutching Ding Yi’s sleeve.

Ding Yi smiled awkwardly: “Hehe, this child… is very clingy. I also don’t know what I should do with him.”

Even though his first attempt at taking a disciple ended in rejection, Lu Liheng did not look particularly bothered, only expressing a casual sense of disappointment:

“It’s a pity, he has so much potential.”

Ding Yi immediately attempted salvage the situation by fast-talking:

“It’s nothing, it’s nothing. Yueshi’s really lucky to have caught your eye Master Lu. In three or five years, he’ll be tougher and have a better handle of himself… why don’t we wait until then and see how things are, Master Lu?”

It was probably the first time Lu Liheng had heard such nonsense, his lips unconsciously curling into a smile.

“Alright. We’ll see then.” He nodded.

Ding Yi was elated by the unexpectedly favorable development as she nodded along repeatedly.

Even if she could not help Mu Yueshi gather experience early, she had obtained Lu Liheng’s promise. It was still a win to obtain an early ticket to discipleship!

After a few twists and turns, Ding Yi realized that Lu Liheng was a principled man, someone who did not slaughter innocents. As long as she did no evil, there was no danger, and so she could rest her heart.

Knowing that she wasn’t in any immediate danger of dying, Ding Yi suddenly became maybe a bit too relaxed. She was soon layering on the flattery and praise, sucking up to Lu Liheng, going on and on seemingly with no end, with no two phrases alike.

It couldn’t be helped. Cannon fodders need to leave a good, lasting impression with the bigshots if they are to survive.

Ding Yi is really worried. What if Mu Yueshi, all alone, gets bullied in the Yuling sect? Someone as useless as her wouldn’t be able to do anything, but at least there will be the Great Master to help.

Lu Liheng didn’t seem to be annoyed by the rambling Ding Yi, rather he seemed to find her somewhat fascinating, sometimes even offering a few words in response.

She was an interesting person indeed.

From a bystander’s perspective, however, Ding Yi was like a chattering sparrow while Lu Liheng was, by contrast, a graceful crane. The two almost looked to be members of two separate universes.

Master Lu exuded a pure and noble aura, his expression always amiable and elegant, his lips naturally forming a faint smile.

Every time she saw him like this, Ding Yi’s heart would ache. How could the author kill off such a divinely beautiful master so early?

What a tragedy!

The two stood by the river, the breeze flowing past, chatting and laughing happily without a hint of the enmity felt earlier.

Mu Yueshi stood quietly not far away, wordlessly gazing upon the scene unfolding before him. His pretty face looked almost to be shrouded by a thin mist. His inky eyes carried a pitch black darkness which constantly ebbed and flowed like the tide.

He felt a slight sense of loneliness and envy at being neglected.

Is talking really that much fun?

You can talk to me too.

Mu Yueshi lowered his head, staring intently at his thin, small fingers, hiding the emotion in his eyes.
