Chapter 2: Inner Disciple

Mo Shulin was stunned, but Fang Guanshi’s eyes lit up.

Thinking that Bai Yuming might have an old relationship with Mo Shulin, Fang Guanshi immediately rushed to please him, “Return to Elder Yuede, this is the son of Feiyun Valley Master, Mo Shulin. His father, Mo Lin, was an expert at slaughtering demons, and also had some friendship with the former head of Liangji Sect. However, Feiyun Valley suffered an extamination due to the tyrannical demon called Smiling Whitehead. When we went to the rescue, it was already too late. Although Mo Shulin escaped a catastrophe, his spirit root was injured by the devilish energy. Regardless of everyone’s refusal, the head still allows him to find shelter in the sect.”

Mo Shulin frowned, but didn’t refute.

This person is in charge of seeing the wind and turning rudder, inverting black and white, and his skill of talking nonsense is too high.

Feiyun Valley extermination happened because Liangji sect’s indifferent behavior. That time, Feiyun Valley found a demon cultivator hiding in the mountains, using mortals to enhance his cultivation base. They already requested an aid to Liangji sect but instead, the sect actually got delayed, causing the whole valley to be obliterated by the demon cultivator. The night his relatives were annihilated, this demon cultivator trapped their soul in soul lamps.

The cultivator continent has vast rivers and mountains, and demon cultivators were everywhere, causing chaos and havoc at each passing day, as the result, countless lives have passed away.

There’s only a hundred people in Feiyun Valley, and more than a half of them are mortals, who can’t be compared with a small sect. He can only blame Feiyun Valley for being too weak, doesn’t have anything for Liangji sect to covet. Because of this, the sect also didn’t place an importance to them.

But the Demon Smiling Whitehead slipped through the net like a slippery fish. If this demon haven’t died yet, then in the future he’ll take revenge and make this tyrannical demon suffer.

Escaping and running away will only make him suffer, no matter how disgusted Mo Shulin is towards Liangji sect, he still has to stay behind. He’s only ten years old this year, his spirit roots have been abolished, and staying in this sect is his only way out.

He promised his parents to live, so he shouldn’t lose his life so easily.

Bai Yuming had believed 90% of the familiar backstory, but he still took a piece of paper and told Mo Shulin to write down his name.

Although Mo Shulin didn’t know why Bai Yuming cared about his name so much, there’s a hopeful thought that his ancestors had a friendship with Bai Yuming, so maybe Bai Yuming would accept him for this old friendship.

In his previous life, he knew that Bai Yuming was a good demon with no desires. He helped two generations of leaders to make a lot of contributions. As his cultivation base improves, Bai Yuming decided to retreat, giving more disciples opportunities to gain life experience.

But because of his good nature and easy-going personality, coupled with the prejudice he suffered from the sect because of his demon identity, Bai Yuming got colluded and framed by the Demon Smiling Whitehead.

Therefore, after he got reborn, Mo Shulin deliberately guided the head to send the rabbit demon into Feiyun Valley, wanting to place this rabbit demon as a suspect. Then in order to make the head keeping his eyes on Bai Yuming, Mo Shulin decided to stay with him and become his servant. Besides, how can a ten-year-old boy understand the difference between a normal rabbit and a rabbit demon? Which other rabbit that can kill demons besides Bai Yuming?

The shrewd Fang Guanshi, after meeting Bai Yuming, he didn’t mention any repaying kindness at all, clearly waiting for Mo Shulin to speak by himself.

A waste of abolished spirit root wanting to repay kindness. Isn’t this the same as saying that he’s looking for punishment?

After changing to another family, suddenly a sick and weak child came to the door and said that he wanted to repay the kindness of his ancestors. Whose first thought wasn’t to drive away this burden? You have to provide for living, food and drink, they can’t cultivate, and they’ll die in less than a hundred years. This isn’t repaying, it’s obviously revenge.

Fang Guansgi thought about something, and simply used the head’s relationship with the child to cover up, hinting that this child was given by the head and Bai Yuming have to give the head some face. In the end, he thought Bai Yuming would comply and take up this burden.

This is what he thought would happened before.

Later, it was discovered that Bai Yuming didn’t even give the head a face, so Fang Guanshi stopped talking.

It’s just that no one would have thought that Feiyun Valley really had some relationship with Bai Yuming. Bai Yuming’s expression clearly changed after he heard Mo Shulin’s name. The two of them didn’t know that Bai Yuming had already changed soul and Bai Yuming was only surprised due to Mo Shulin’s name.

The neat three characters “Mo Shulin” was written on the paper.

Bai Yuming looked at the three characters on the paper, then glanced at Mo Shulin, who was full of nervousness and expectation, his heart was overwhelmed with surging emotions.

Bai Yuming never expected that fate would’ve made such joke and sent the worst villain in the book to him.

Although Mo Shulin has no direct relationship with the original Bai Yuming when he’s being framed, Mo Shulin was the only person who knows the truth.

In the original story, the demon cultivator who framed Bai Yuming called the Demon Smiling Whitehead. In order to avenge the murder of his relatives, Mo Shulin has been digging for informations about the Demon Smiling Whitehead. Naturally, he also knew how Smiling Whitehead communicates with the Liangji sect insider, framing Bai Yuming and other series of things. Only Mo Shulin can clarify the details, but he didn’t use this information to help Bai Yuming, instead he uses it as a chance to escape from the male protagonist.

It’s just that, the original story doesn’t have Mo Shulin worshipping Bai Yuming as a teacher.

Otherwise, when the original Bai Yuming was framed, how could Mo Shulin have no emotions, and later he could even use Bai Yuming’s name to mock the protagonist’s integrity.

The next moment, Bai Yuming was suddenly enlightened.

That’s it!

After the villain’s spirit root was abolished, he was desperate and wanted to seek refuge in Bai Yuming’s peak, but was rejected by Bai Yuming. Mo Shulin, who was so embarrassed and angry, would turn a blind eye to Bai Yuming being framed.

If he accepted Mo Shulin, wouldn’t he be the master of the worst villain?

Later, he will educate, teach and hone Mo Shulin, even if the villain still embarks on the demonic cultivation path. Even so, Mo Shulin could save him and wouldn’t turn a blind eye to his unjust suffering. Then wouldn’t he escape this situation?

Also Mo Shulin wasn’t a completely heartless person. After Feiyun Valley was destroyed, Mo Shulin, who was isolated and helpless, also thought of letting go of his hatred and meaningless life. However because of his abuse and bullying in the outer sect, and also fell into demonic path by chance, this boy will turn into a Demon Lord who knows no mercy.

Aiya, since everyone will be slaughtered by the protagonist in the future, let’s just stay for a meal.

Thinking of this, Bai Yuming coughed slightly, and said in a nonchalant manner: “I remembered that I still lack a gate to close.”

Closed gate?

Fang Guanshi and Mo Shulin unconsciously thought of the broken gate in the courtyard that was almost buried by the snow.

“You, you can stay and be an inner disciple for me.” Bai Yuming stated.

Mo Shulin was ecstatic when he heard the words “inner disciple”, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed, “Thank you, Elder.”

Fang Guanshi reacted, sour as if he had eaten a lemon. But remembered that Bai Yuming made an exception to accept Mo Shulin after seeing his three character name. He inevitably thought more about it, realizing that these two people must be old acquaintances, his mentality gradually calmed down.

Bai Yuming shook his fingers, pretending to be reserved and said, “What should you call me.”

Mo Shulin was at a loss.

Fang Guanshi is clever, he understood what Bai Yuming meant, and urged: “Hurry up, thank Master.”

Mo Shulin immediately kowtowed, “Thank you Master!”

“Ay~~” Bai Yuming listened to the new master title, his body relaxed. He felt that he was one step further away from being skinned and made into a rabbit scarf in the future.

Mo Shulin now has a place to stay, so Fang Guanshi left alone.

Although Mo Shulin used to be the Demon Lord, he understands that now he’s only a disciple, so he must be lowkey.

There’s no need for Bai Yuming to mention anything, Mo Shulin bowed to send Fang Guanshi out on his own initiative.

“Thank you Fang Guanshi, thank you for your kind words today.” Mo Shulin took out the only middle-grade spirit stone he have to Fang Guanshi.

Even if Mo Shulin has a detached personality, but he understand very well on how to control others. Now Bai Yuming has accepted him as a disciple, giving him the special title of inner disciple. Even if he doesn’t take any task, he can get a middle-grade spirit stone every month.

The inner disciple is usually the last disciple accepted by the master, which is a bit better than direct disciples and ordinary disciples. Regardless of whether Bai Yuming is really stupid or pretending not to understand the true meaning of an inner disciple, Mo Shulin still has to thank Bai Yuming for it. As long as he can get the treatment of being an inner disciple, Mo Shulin couldn’t care less if Bai Yuming wanted to take in another disciple.

Fang Guanshi needs to report to the head later. If a middle-grade spirit stone can be used to eliminate Fang Guanshi’s jealousy, Mo Shulin will at least not have to wear small shoes, who would be treated as an ordinary disciple that open and closes the courtyard gate as Bai Yuming’s words.

As a disciple, he’ll inevitably run errands for his master in the future, with an abolished spirit root, he’ll get bullied wherever he goes. It’s always good to have backup plan.

This middle-grade spirit stone is not only a gratitude gift, but also a way to buy the future.

Fang Guanshi didn’t want to take this petty profit, but he also didn’t want the kid to hand out a middle-grade spirit stone in a showy manner. Fang Guanshi knew what the boy wanted after he followed Mo Shulin’s gaze and saw the buried courtyard gate.

The meaning is clear and Mo Shulin wanted him to spread out the word that Bai Yuming has accepted him as an inner disciple. Besides, Bai Yuming also said the word inner disciple himself, so Fang Guanshi won’t be misleading anyone.

It’s just that he can’t think of a poor place like Feiyun Valley where his family didn’t have any background, but still has a middle-grade spirit stone. This made Fang Guanshi to think highly of Mo Shulin.

Although Fang Guanshi is a supervisor, he’s only at Jindan period. Not to mention those inner disciples with eyes above the top, even the outer sect disciples had a lot of Jindan period cultivators, meaning that they didn’t need to be respectful towards Fang Guanshi. Even though spirit stones didn’t get normally used to pay people for running errands, but others would use it for enhancing their cultivation base and strengthening interpersonal relationship. So many disciples cannot even get a middle-grade spirit stones even if they exhaust themselves every month.

Now that Mo Shulin gave a middle-grade spirit stone, how could he not shock Fang Guanshi. Although Mo Shulin’s spirit roots are abolished, he can only eat and laze around, enjoying the mountains and the sky. But if he’s truly an inner disciple, he’ll have to get more oil from Mo Shulin whenever he’s out doing errands for his master.

Nobody would dislike too many spirit stones. It’s better to make friends with a smile for mutual benefit than to hate each other and get no benefit. Fang Guanshi’s attitude changed 180 degrees and immediately gave Mo Shulin a big smile.

Fang Guanshi didn’t even know that Mo Shulin is hitting his face until it gets swollen and pretends to be fat, since he gave Fang Guanshi almost all of his spirit stones.

After receiving the middle-grade spirit stone, Fang Guan said in a calm voice: “Wherever it is, this is Junior Brother Mo’s good fortune. Then I’ll report back to the head, please rest assured Junior Brother Mo.” The two of them said goodbye, and felt satisfied in their hearts.

After sending Fang Guanshi out, as soon as Mo Shulin entered the house, he saw a white and tender feet dangling in the air.

Bai Yuming had already taken off his shoes, his humanoid posture nestled on the main seat, reading the script with relish. The red clothes lined his fair skin, his feet are more delicate and smooth than a white jade, with a clean and regular shaped toe nails, like shells arranged neatly, which looked very mesmerizing.

Mo Shulin first blushed by the jade-like fair feet, and he secretly scolded Bai Yuming for being a demon without any shame. When he saw the script called “The Supreme Immortal King and the Naughty Fox Demon”, the corners of his eyes twitched unconsciously.

He doesn’t remember Bai Yuming in his previous life had such hobbies. As a master, doesn’t he have any shame reading these gaudy and popular scripts?

However, Bai Yuming didn’t look like what a master should have. When he closed the script, he sighed, “When will these three realms be peaceful and no longer separate people who love each other due to discrimination…”

Look at this face, it obviously showed fascinated expression because of the script.

Mo Shulin: “…”

This is the master of your choice, so you can only bear with it.
