Chapter 393: Obvious Tricks

As it was common, when the Main Character crushed his Master in battle, the matter would turn disastrous. If we go by the storyline, this translates into a Master turning useless to the Main Character. That means the beginning of the storyline, but how can I let that happen?

Won’t Master be useless?

Won’t the Main Character feel like getting revenge when one comes and kill the Master?

Then the plot was on its merry way again.

No, no, no, this is unacceptable!

I need to leave at once or I won’t ever live this down!

Chen Ming was back on Yan Mountain branch and saw Zhuo Qingyao cross-legged before Ember. Who knew this la.s.s can be so calm?

Zhuo Qingyao noticed him and jumped to her feet, “Master!”

Chen Ming nodded, “Go make me noodles, Master’s hungry.”

Zhuo Qingyao giggled, refined and elegant, “En, Master, I’m going.”

However, even after ten minutes she still hadn’t returned. Chen Ming found it odd, What is she doing? What’s taking so long?

Chen Ming went to her house and saw steam rising from her room. Why is she cooking in there?

He never encountered this scene, Let’s take a look!

Chen Ming opened the door to find Zhuo Qingyao’s perfect back in the thick steam, bathing in a wooden bath. She turned at the creaking sound in shock and met his eyes. Awkward silence…

In Chen Ming’s heart, This is bad!

Did I opened the door wrongly…

Again.

Chen Ming closed it then opened it. Zhuo Qingyao’s clear and pure eyes never left him in the deafening silence.

d.a.m.n it! This is really bad! When things go to s.h.i.+t, bolt!

Or I’ll never get the chance!

Chen Ming closed the door as he sped away.

What c.r.a.ppy coincidence was this? How the h.e.l.l would anyone know she would take a bath?

What he saw you’d ask? Zhuo Qingyao’s snow-white skin, her mesmerizing body, graceful curves, and elegant demeanor. Particularly when all of this was seen through the mist, letting his imagination roam wild…

Blast it! Just what am I thinking? Stop, stop! This is a breach of master-disciple ethics! How is that a Master’s behavior?

Too terrifying!

Run!

Then the screaming started. I’m finished, she woke up!

The next time I get back won’t I be turned into the l.u.s.tful Immortal Master? One that has illicit desires in his heart for his disciple, a peeping tom!

My ill.u.s.trious and heroic reputation is ruined!

Uh, with Zhuo Qingyao’s nature, she’s unlikely to be a tattletale. Yep, that has to be it. The best course of action right now is to run like h.e.l.l.

Ling Xian was now going up the mountain and found Chen Ming panicking, “Master, did something happen to make you so jittery?”

Chen Ming coughed, “Nothing, nothing whatsoever. Master is going away and hates parting with all of you. My heart is in shambles.”

Ling Xian nodded, “Oh, I see.”

“Have you ever went into your head senior sister’s room?”

“She is a girl so I have to knock first. If she allows me entry, I can go in.”

Chen Ming nodded, That’s the normal way.

With this Immortal Master as the sole exception, no one enters a girl’s room like their own backyard. No one is like me, who doesn’t even knock.

But isn’t it just seeing her body? I used to see her so many times when she was small!

Ling Xian asked, “Master, why do you ask?”

Chen Ming went stern, “Nothing, nothing at all! Right, right, tell Li Suyi to come. We’re holding a meeting on Scarlet Tide Continent!”

“On Scarlet Tide Continent? Why not on Yan Mountain branch?”

But Chen Ming was long gone.

Ling Xian didn’t think much as he went for Li Suyi.

Zhuo Qingyao heard their talk, Oh, Master must have gone by now. She pursed her lips into a heart-stopping smile, “Master’s fleeing is so cute!”

Zhuo Qingyao knew he wanted to leave from seeing him settling things. Only G.o.d knows if Master will find some loose b.i.t.c.h!

For now at least, Master looks positively terrified!

Zhuo Qingyao was not like Li Suyi or Ling Xian, or even Wan Baqian, wors.h.i.+ping Chen Ming’s strength. She recalled how many years ago, in the Endless Swords Sect, a refined and handsome Immortal Master called her name. He said the words that tied them together for life. From now on, you are my disciple!

In the crow of people, the two pairs of eyes met, never leaving each other. It was at that moment the despairing girl found the glorious Immortal Master.

Chen Ming was putting on the finis.h.i.+ng touches to his affairs under the bodhi tree. The other four legacy disciples arrived. “With the Three-headed Dragon Constellation under our control, excluding Faceless’ reputation excluded, Yan Mountain appears to others as Faceless’ Blade. This, in turn, makes it so no one can summon the courage to attack us. Outside of Obsidian Temple’s path to immortality, all others leading to the Galaxy from our stars are to be sealed. You are then to continue the campaign on the Desolate Star.”

Li Suyi and Ling Xian bowed, “Disciple will abide by your orders!”

It was now that they heard of Chen Ming’s intention to wonder the Galaxy, again.

Chen Ming said, “I have settled the rest. Go.”

Ling Xian, Li Suyi and Wan Baqian left with reluctance. Only Chen Lingyu was left, but since it was daytime, it was Chen Ling’er.

He asked, “What’s wrong, is there something else?”

Chen Lingyu smiled tenderly, “Master, want me to join you? Head senior sister is in seclusion and there’s no one to take care of you… ”

Chen Ming didn’t think about it too long, “No, this time it’s too dangerous. If I take you, I won’t be able to protect you.”

Chen Ling’er offered him a spice pouch from her waist, “Alright. Master, to keep you safe!”

Chen Ming saw the peach blossomed pouch…

But when Chen Lingyu held it with such kindness, he took it, “Master, carry it with you always!”
