Chapter 935

Shifu and Disciple

“Is my shifu really at Formation Sect?” Cai Lie queried, unsettled.

Mu Yu dragged Shi Dengtian, who was vexed he could not commit suicide, along as he answered, “There are only two places he’d go, Formation Sect or my dad’s valley. My conjecture is that he wants to pick up Daoist Yuande and take the latter to the valley so that his daughter can take care of her father. Knowing Alchemist Yao, he’s worried about Daoist Yuande.”

Alchemist Yao knew that, though Formation Sect would not harm Daoist Yuande owing to Mu Yu’s relationship with them, they would not respect Daoist Yuande, which was why he was concerned.

“I hope Third Heaven Palace goes to hell.”

“Third Heaven Palace is now synonymous for ‘scum’.”

After being on the road for half a day, Mu Yu and Cai Lie finally arrived at Formation Sect. Thanks to the formations set up, Zhuge Xiaosheng detected Mu Yu’s return and promptly went to greet the latter.

“Mu Yu, they are?”

“Patriarch, did Alchemist Yao come by?” Mu Yu inquired, noticing the anxiety written on Cai Lie’s face.

“He arrived an hour ago and is visiting Daoist Yuande in Formation Hall at the moment. He asked to take Daoist Yuande off our hands.”

“Thank heavens!” Cai Lie let out a big breath.

“Thank you, Patriarch.” Mu Yu regarded Zhuge Xiaosheng with a nod and zipped off to Formation Palace with Cai Lie.

“Shifu, I know the truth now. While you shouldered everything thrown your way, I was immaturely yelling emotionally instead of trying to understand you. I let you down. I have been so scared you would not forgive me. I will obey your every word from now. I do not want to lose you,” pleaded Cai Lie, holding Yao Wuji’s hands.

“People will mock you for having me as your shifu.”

Cai Lie wiped his tears. “I could not care less about what others think. I grew up with only my brother until you took me in. I have always seen you as my father. They can mock me all they want as I will never downplay who you are. Selfishly telling myself I did nothing wrong is what deserves to be mocked.”

Yao Wuji shut his eyes and exhaled slowly. “You know, your evaluation of me matters more than anyone else’s. I’m glad you trust me. Very glad.”

“I have always seen you as my father, huh?” Mu Yu repeated under his breath, leaning on the wall outside the room and playing with the jade piece Kumu hibernated in. “That brings back memories. I’m going to have to revive you so that you can hear me call you, ‘Dad’. I won’t let anyone else experience what I had to go through when I lost you.”

Had Mu Yu not already been sitting on the ground, Cai Lie’s words might have just tripped him onto the ground for as it reminded him of his own loss and tormenting weakness.
