Chapter 31: Chapter 31 Master Wu Yu Who Defends His Own
Editor: Henyee Translations
“Good disciple, don’t worry. Now that you’re my disciple, your master won’t allow anyone to bully you. Just say the word, and I’ll go teach that brat a harsh lesson.”
Just thinking about Mu Ruyue, with her beauty and talent, being rejected for marriage made Wu Yu want to immediately go deal with the foolish brat who couldn’t recognize a gem.
Who dares to bully his disciple? Anyone who dares would face his revenge.
“No need,” Mu Ruyue shook her head and smiled slightly, “Even if he didn’t call off the engagement, I would have done it. A scumbag like him, covered in filth, isn’t worthy of me.”
The girl’s words gradually dissipated Wu Yu’s anger. He laughed heartily and said, “Indeed, rejecting my disciple is his misfortune. With your abilities, you will surely find a man a hundred, a thousand times better. Only an exceptional man is worthy of my disciple.”
Mu Ruyue’s eyes sparkled a few times: “Also, don’t tell anyone for now that I’ve become your disciple.”
“Why?” Wu Yu blinked in confusion. He originally wanted to let everyone in the Qingyun Sect know he had found a good disciple, and maybe ruffle Tian Yuan and his disciple’s feathers in the process.
“It’s a simple reason. On my path to growth, I don’t need too much help. If you’re always protecting and helping me, my strength will stagnate.”
She needed a backer to deal with situations she couldn’t handle, but she didn’t want her master to solve all her crises for her.
Without danger, how can one grow?
This, she fully understood.
“Haha, good, good disciple.” Wu Yu nodded in appreciation. He had indeed not chosen the wrong person. Perhaps only she could say such things so confidently.
This girl was not a pampered daughter of a noble family; she knew how to survive better on this continent.
“Girl, from now on, come to me every day. I’ll teach you some methods in alchemy and cultivation. But I have one requirement: two months from now, during the martial artist competition in Feng City, bring me back the first place title.”
Wu Yu stroked his white beard with a smile. Perhaps from now on, this continent would belong to the young people. They, the older generation, were past their prime.
“First place?” Mu Ruyue’s lips curled up, and she laughed quietly, “That was my intention exactly.”
She wasn’t interested in the competition itself, but she knew that Mu Tingting would surely participate. It was time to show the world that she wasn’t a useless person anymore!
Wu Yu looked at Mu Ruyue in surprise. Although she was smiling now, there was a sense of chill deep in her eyes…
That night, the moonlight shimmered like water, rippling gently.
In a mansion not far from the Mu family, a man stood with his hands behind his back, his deep eyes gazing at the dark night sky, a mix of complex emotions in his gaze.
This man wore a long silver robe. His handsome face, like a deity’s, was bathed in a layer of faint moonlight, a beauty that took one’s breath away. Such a handsome man seemed to make the moon pale in comparison.
“Master, shall I go and deal with the woman who is set to marry you?”
Behind him, a woman dressed in black knelt respectfully on one knee, her head always bowed because she knew her master disliked being looked at directly, even if it was just his back.
“But, Master, if that woman comes to the mansion, she will certainly notice something. If others find out that you’re in the…”
His voice was low, yet it carried a hint of coldness that made Dieyi’s heart shudder.
Was the master protecting that woman? Why? That woman was just a waste. Why would the master, who always kept women at a distance, protect her?
Dieyi lowered her head even more, suppressing the tremors in her heart, and said, “Yes, I take my leave.”
She knew she harbored feelings she shouldn’t have, and sometimes she couldn’t control them. The only thing she could do was not let anyone else know about these feelings…
