Reborn Demon Emperor, I have to stay away from them

Zi Li was silent. She believed that... she trusted Yu Mu unconditionally.

But regarding that matter, she was more disappointed with her friend and didn't even think much about it after seeing Liu He's evidence.

"Mu'er..."

"Elder Zi Li wants to ask who my disciple's master is?" Yu Mu raised his hand and interrupted Zi Li's next words.

He turned around, bowed respectfully to Yun Buqi, bit his fingertips, a trace of blood emerged, and faced the sparkling sunlight from the sky.

"Disciple Yu Mu, I am willing to take Elder Yun as my master. Despite all the changes in the world, my heart remains unchanged. I will treat you as my father. If I lie, my soul will be destroyed. I swear with blood, heaven and earth will be my witness!"

"Buzz!"

The whole vegetable garden was filled with a throbbing wave from somewhere, as if the gods were angry! This worship, even Yun Buqi bore a great pressure.

It seemed... on some level, he couldn't bear Yu Mu's bow, and it seemed... on another level, he could bear Yu Mu's kneeling!

"Okay... okay!" Tears appeared in Yun Buqi's old eyes. In some way, he seemed to have made up for some regret in his life.

The top strong man in the northwest helped Yu Mu up with trembling hands: "Good disciple...good disciple, your master...your master will definitely treat you well, and you...will not be wronged again."

He touched Yu Mu's hair with trembling hands, and the two of them completely ignored Zi Li who was still standing beside them.

"Yu Mu! I was the master who snatched you from the mouth of a wild dog, brought you in, gave you the skills, taught you how to practice, and gave you status! Now... you betray me?!"

Zi Li herself didn't realize how exhausted she was.

Betrayal? Yu Mu was slightly distracted.

She had done the same before, telling him at the top of her lungs that Ye Tian had betrayed her, calling him a traitor, and that she had quit the Yunhe Sect in order to join the Zhongzhou Sect.

She was still very happy at that time. She finally saw Ye Tian’s true face and the chaos in Yunhe Sect, all because of him.

But what happened in the end? She was the first one to throw herself into Ye Tian's arms, regardless of the ethics between master and apprentice.

"How can I talk about betrayal? Xiaomu has been working hard for you as your disciple. It can be said that your Ziyun Palace has been supported by him alone for the past ten years."

This time, Yun Buqi protected Yu Mu without hesitation, just like in his previous life, when many sects came to attack Yu Mu and he was the only one who stood up.

“Zili, think carefully about this. Does his cultivation at the peak of Jindan have anything to do with you and your Ziyun Palace?!”

"It's okay. If the elder wants this cultivation, just take it. I can cultivate it again."

Looking at Yun Buqi's back, Yu Mu felt a warm feeling in his heart again.

This feeling of security has been gone for so long. Is this the feeling of being protected?

It hurts so much to waste my cultivation.

But he has suffered enough hardships and pain, does he still care about this?

Zi Li stood there in a daze. She had been practicing Taoism all her life without any desires or requests, but at this moment... she felt that something important was about to leave her, and perhaps... the kind that could not be brought back even if she begged.

But she is the master, she is not wrong! Before... she had wrongly accused Mu'er of being lazy in cultivation, but didn't Mu'er forgive her?

"Mu'er... Your master... Your master was wrong. You... That's right. Your senior sister, and your junior sister, yes... and your junior brother are all waiting for you..."

Zi Li seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw. He loved Liu He the most, and had always admired Senior Sister Xiao Yu. He also cared a lot for Ye Tian.

He must still have feelings!

He... He was just trying to piss himself off. How was that old Yun Buqi better than her? He was inferior in every way!

Yes, that must be the case.

"Mu'er..."

Yu Mu suddenly felt a headache.

It was also accompanied by waves of inexplicable nausea.

This emperor is really C! Why did I become so blinded by greed in my previous life? Or is Ye Tian's destiny too awesome that he has lost even the most basic rationality?

Seeing that Yu Mu's expression was not right, Yun Buqi thought that Yu Mu was moved by compassion, but... it didn't feel like compassion...

This feeling... is like wanting to hit someone!

No, we can’t let Yu Mu take action, otherwise he will really have no chance to survive in Yunhe Sect.

Thinking about it, Yun Buqi spoke quickly.

"Elder Zi Li, please go back. It is against the rules for you to trespass into my residence without notifying me. Yu Mu is the chief genius, and it is his right to switch to my sect. But Elder Zi Li, please do not break the thousand-year-old sect rules."

Upon hearing this, Zi Li's pretty face turned pale and she even staggered.

Yes! Yu Mu is the chief genius, he has the right and qualifications to do so.

But... Xiao Mu has always respected and loved her like his biological mother. He is also in love with his eldest disciple Xiao Yu and is also very caring towards his junior sister Liu He. How... how could it become like this?

Zi Li looked at Yu Mu, who had a slender figure and handsome appearance.

But the handsome and heroic face gradually overlapped with the childish face. The little boy did not believe in anything in the world, but just pulled his sleeves and called himself Master...

He said that he would protect Master for his entire life.

He said that he had never seen his mother and that his master was his mother.

He has always done so. He has been in seclusion for many years, Xiao Yu has a cold personality, and Liu He is weak, so he has always been the one supporting Ziyun Palace.

"Mu'er... have you forgotten what you said?"

Zi Li held Yu Mu's wrist tightly, her eyes flashing with crystal mist, so that Yu Mu's face gradually became blurred in her eyes.

She wiped her tears quickly. She felt... if she couldn't see Yu Mu's face clearly, she might never have the chance to see it clearly again.

"Mu'er, let me take you home..."

"My home is in Xingyun Palace." Yu Mu shook off Zi Li's hand.

In his previous life, he had heard this kind of expression and this kind of words too many times.

He believed it every time! He believed this… his master whom he regarded as his biological mother. He wanted to protect her, to protect them, even if he was against the world, even if he knew that his opponent had the blessing of heaven's destiny.

But what they give back is... hurt again and again.

And now, if it weren't for Yun Buqi, even if his cultivation was sealed, he would probably find a way to leave Yunhe Gate and stay very, very far away from these people.

Home...in Xingyun Palace?

It must be! It must be that old man Yun Buqi who bewitched Mu'er! He has always wanted to compete with me! Since he can't beat me, he uses his most valued disciple to attack me!

Zi Li raised her eyes and looked at Yun Buqi, her eyes filled with anger.

But she knew that now was not the time to get angry, otherwise she would only push Mu'er further away...

On this day, many disciples saw the Grand Elder of Yunhe Sect, the Fairy Zi Li who had always been like a goddess, now looked dispirited and like a walking corpse.

As Yu Mu looked at her departing back, he couldn't even feel any other emotions in his heart.

He just raised his head, and in the dark, his eyes seemed to meet the non-existent giant eyes in the sky.

"Help... help me... help..."

That grand yet weak voice seemed to come from Yu Mu's heart.

"Master, did you hear any noise?" Yu Mu tilted his head and pulled another cucumber cub off the vine.

Yun Buqi's old eyes twitched: "If you want to eat, just eat. Why do you have to find such a ridiculous excuse?"

Seeing Yu Mu eating cucumbers crunchily, Yun Buqi, who had been silent for a while, spoke up: "She... raised you since you were a child. What you did today, is it sincere or deliberate?"

"I sincerely want to be your master. Didn't you also say that I have the right to do so?"

Yu Mu supported Yun Buqi, and seeing the genuine joy on Yun Buqi's face, he couldn't help but feel happy too.

But... in my heart, that grand voice added a bit of anxiety.

"Help me...Emperor...please...help me..."

Yu Mu, who was supporting the smiling Yun Buqi back to the palace, had a hint of indifference in his eyes that even Yun Buqi didn't notice.

I replied coldly in my heart.

"roll!"
