Leveling Up by Kissing My Disciple - chapter 11

“Three years after I took Yan Hua in, she suddenly fell into a coma one night.”

“I truly couldn’t find the cause, and tried many methods, but none could cure her.”

“All I could do was seal her in a jade coffin that nurtures vitality, hoping that one day she would wake up.”

“So that’s how it was…” Mu Chenxi couldn’t help but ask, “Master, did you consult any healers?”

“I did.” Bai Yue nodded gently, her tone tinged with melancholy. “Your Grandmaster invited elders from Medicine King Valley, but in the end, it was still no use.”

“Even the elders from Medicine King Valley couldn’t find the reason for Yan Hua’s coma, nor could they begin to treat her.”

“Yan Hua is like someone in an endless sleep, no one can wake her.”

“But after a thorough examination, the elders from Medicine King Valley said that Yan Hua was perfectly normal-a healthy, ordinary little girl…”

As she spoke, Bai Yue couldn’t help but sigh, the worry in her eyes growing more pronounced.

Mu Chenxi sensed Bai Yue’s heaviness and softly comforted her, “Master, please don’t worry. I will also try to find a way in the future. Besides, Senior Sister Yan Hua’s body is fine-perhaps she’ll wake up on her own.”

Hearing Mu Chenxi’s words, Bai Yue nodded, feeling that perhaps she was worrying too much.

Thinking this way, she stopped overthinking and instead said, “By the way, Chenxi, let’s talk about you. Come to think of it, I haven’t really gotten to know you yet.”

She truly wanted to know more about her Disciple, for Bai Yue was genuinely satisfied with Mu Chenxi and planned to get along well with her in the future.

“About me? Master, which aspect do you want to know? Is there anything specific you wish to ask?”

Mu Chenxi asked, showing no hint of concealment on her face.

“Let’s start with your background.” Bai Yue said, then added, “Of course, if there are things you’d rather not mention, you don’t have to force yourself to tell me. After all, everyone has their own secrets.”

She would never use her status as Master to pry into her Disciple’s private matters.

“There’s nothing about my background that can’t be said.” Mu Chenxi answered truthfully. “My parents passed away in the chaos of war when I was an infant. It was the elders of the sect who found me and raised me in the sect.”

“I was chosen by the sect because of the guidance of the Heavenly Mechanism Stone.”

“In a way, I am a child chosen by the Heavenly Mechanism Stone.”

Upon hearing this, Bai Yue suddenly understood. Only now did she realize that Mu Chenxi had grown up in the sect since childhood, raised as one of the saviors.

She then asked, “Which sect are you from?”

“Sword Sect,” Mu Chenxi answered truthfully as always.

Bai Yue nodded knowingly; she had already guessed as much.

After all, Mu Chenxi’s Sword Technique was extraordinarily powerful, and Sword Sect was the strongest Sword Dao sect in the world.

She continued to ask, “Have you been cultivating in Sword Sect since you were young?”

“Yes.”

Mu Chenxi’s face showed a hint of confusion, not understanding why Master would ask such a simple question.

Aside from cultivating in Sword Sect, what else could she have done?

But Bai Yue felt enlightened once again-no wonder Mu Chenxi had become a cultivation fanatic.

She supposed Mu Chenxi wasn’t close to the elders of Sword Sect, had little companionship, and no one taught her common sense.

She continued, “Besides cultivating, do you have anything else to do in your daily life?”

“Besides cultivating, what else is there to do?”

Mu Chenxi looked at Bai Yue with growing confusion, not understanding the meaning behind the question.

Since childhood, the elders of the sect had taught her to cultivate diligently and to take saving all beings as her mission. In her world, cultivation was the sole core pursuit.
Bai Yue finally understood-there was a reason Mu Chenxi had become a cultivation fanatic. She had been raised from childhood as a savior of the world.

Sword Sect…

To place such a heavy burden on a young girl… truly…

Bai Yue recalled the calculations of the Divine Calculator and could only sigh softly.

The Heavenly Tribulation was approaching. When the sky collapses, it is the tall ones who must bear it. Sword Sect, too, has its own difficulties.

Bai Yue gazed at the clouds and mist ahead, her expression tinged with melancholy.

“Master, is there anything else you wish to ask?”

Seeing Bai Yue remain silent, Mu Chenxi took the initiative to speak.

She was usually quiet and reserved, but ever since meeting Bai Yue, she couldn’t help but want to say a few more words to her.

This subtle change was something even she hadn’t fully noticed.

“Chenxi, I have no further questions for now. Just focus on the journey.”

Bai Yue spoke, thinking that her poor Disciple had known nothing but cultivation since childhood in Sword Sect, so she refrained from asking more.

After all, there was nothing left to ask…

“Mm.”

Mu Chenxi responded softly and continued her Sword Flight.

Yet even as she flew on her Flying Sword, she spared a bit of attention to the gentle warmth emanating from her Master close behind.

Her heart still beat rapidly, and with it, her Sword Dao cultivation steadily advanced.

The two rode their Flying Swords at full speed, the scenery around them rushing past, gradually leaving behind the safe corner of the Ten Thousand Mountains where Bai Yue had resided.

Along the way, they began to encounter many Monster Beasts. Fortunately, they were all low-level types. Sensing the powerful aura of the two, the beasts only dared to lurk from afar, not even entertaining the thought of blocking their path.

As the sun set and night approached-

“Visibility is poor at night. Let’s stop and rest, and take the opportunity to cultivate and stabilize our strength.”

Bai Yue’s voice was especially clear in the night wind, carrying her usual caution.

Mu Chenxi nodded immediately, “Alright, Master.”

“Let’s settle on that mountain.”

“Mm.”

The two landed together on the waist of an inconspicuous low mountain.

Bai Yue patted her Storage Bag and summoned the Ji Yue Sword.

With a flash of sword light, she carved out a small cave in the mountainside, serving as a temporary Cave Abode.

She first cleaned the interior, then embedded several warm yellow Moon Pearls into the stone walls, their gentle glow instantly filling the cave.

Afterward, she set up a concealing Formation outside the cave, blending the Cave Abode seamlessly into the forest, only then nodding in satisfaction.

She had always been this careful and cautious.

Bai Yue turned to call Mu Chenxi, “Come in.”

Mu Chenxi entered the cave, taking out a small, exquisite bronze Formation Plate and embedding top-grade Spirit Stones into it.

Ancient, intricate runes lit up on the Formation Plate, and dense Spiritual Qi began to permeate the cave.

Bai Yue felt the Spiritual Qi around her, couldn’t help but take a deep breath, and looked at Mu Chenxi with a smile, “I didn’t expect you to have such a treasure, Chenxi.”

“It was a gift from the elders of the sect before I set out,” Mu Chenxi explained softly.

Bai Yue nodded, bent down, and spread a soft blanket on the ground. “Since we have such a good Spirit Gathering Formation, let’s not waste it. Let’s make the most of our time to cultivate.”

With that, she beckoned Mu Chenxi to sit beside her.

The two sat side by side on the blanket, sinking into cultivation together.

As night deepened, just as the chill in Bai Yue’s body was about to erupt, Mu Chenxi opened her eyes first.

She had long noticed her Master’s body temperature quietly changing.

Bai Yue also withdrew from her cultivation state, opening her eyes to meet her Disciple’s gaze full of concern.
