Leveling Up by Kissing My Disciple - chapter 8

Her Disciple was so gifted that perhaps, in the future, she would have some epiphany in other areas and would no longer need to “sell her charms” as Bai Yue did.

Seeing that Bai Yue did not directly agree, but also did not refuse again, Mu Chenxi was disappointed, yet she did not press further.

“Then, Master, please be mentally prepared and tell me as soon as possible.”

Mu Chenxi reminded her once more, clearly very persistent about this matter.

“Mm…”

Bai Yue nodded helplessly in agreement.

By now, it was almost noon, and the chill in Bai Yue’s body flared up again. She took out the Warm Sun Jade Mu Chenxi had given her and held it tightly in her hand.

The gentle Spiritual Power from the Warm Sun Jade slowly flowed into her body, dispelling the tormenting cold within.

At this moment, Bai Yue could do nothing else, so she simply took the opportunity to ask Mu Chenxi a few more questions.

“By the way, Chenxi, how did you find me?”

Bai Yue’s face was full of confusion; she had never figured this out.

She was hidden away in a remote corner of the Ten Thousand Mountains, yet Mu Chenxi had managed to find her so precisely.

“Actually, a year ago, I could vaguely sense Master’s location, though I didn’t know why I had this feeling about this place.”

“Why would you have such a sense?” Bai Yue was even more puzzled.

Mu Chenxi shook her head and said, “As for the reason, I still haven’t figured it out.”

“Then, about me being the Otherworldly Mystic Maiden… who else knows?”

There was worry hidden in Bai Yue’s eyes. The Cultivation World was far from peaceful, and not everyone was of the Righteous Path like Mu Chenxi.

If someone with ill intentions learned of her identity, she would be in danger.

“Very few people know about this.” Mu Chenxi looked up at her, her tone softening.

“Back then, there was the senior Divine Calculator, a few Righteous Path experts by his side, and those who could see through the Divine Calculator’s remaining arrangements. Those who could see through the Heavenly Mechanism Stone-I am one of them.”

“Heavenly Mechanism Stone? Can you show it to me?”

Curiosity flickered in Bai Yue’s eyes.

“The Heavenly Mechanism Stone dissipates after a single use.”

“I saw the events of that year through the Heavenly Mechanism Stone, which is how I learned of Master’s existence and resolved to find you.”

“So that’s how it is.”

Bai Yue nodded thoughtfully, her brows lightly furrowed.

She couldn’t shake the feeling that some invisible hand was guiding all of this.

But with so many unanswered questions, she could only set them aside for now.

“Do you have anything else to ask?” Mu Chenxi looked at her.

“Not for now.” Bai Yue shook her head, then remembered something. “So, shall we set out to find Grandmaster now?”

“There’s still one thing to take care of.” Bai Yue looked up at Mu Chenxi. “I need to check on your Senior Sister.”

“Senior Sister?” Mu Chenxi was a little surprised, her lips unconsciously pursing.

Someone had become Master’s Disciple before her?

A strange bitterness welled up in her heart, like biting into an unripe fruit.

“She’s a Disciple I took in years ago. Her name is Yan Hua, so she’s your Senior Sister, but she’s still unconscious.”

Thinking of her Disciple Yan Hua, Bai Yue couldn’t help but sigh softly.

“I’ll take you to see her, so you can meet your Senior Sister. I’ll also rearrange her placement, since we’ll be away for a while.”

As she finished speaking, Bai Yue summoned her Flying Sword, its blade shimmering with gentle light. She turned to signal Mu Chenxi.

Mu Chenxi nodded and immediately summoned her own Flying Sword.

Master and Disciple flew one after the other through the mist, landing on an inconspicuous low mountain nearby.

Bai Yue walked to a hidden corner of the mountain wall, took out a Token engraved with Formation patterns, and slowly infused it with Spiritual Power.

In an instant, Spiritual Qi surged around them, and the Formation hidden among the rocks rippled like water, revealing a deep, shadowy cave entrance.
“What a brilliant Formation.” A flash of astonishment passed through Mu Chenxi’s eyes.

With her cultivation at the Core Formation Stage, she hadn’t even noticed that a Formation was hidden here.

“This Formation was set up by your Grandmaster. Let’s go in together.”

Bai Yue explained briefly, then took the lead and walked into the cave.

Mu Chenxi followed closely behind.

Inside the cave, many Luminous Pearls were embedded in the walls, their gentle glow illuminating the space brightly. The floor was swept spotlessly clean, not a speck of dust to be seen, clearly maintained with great care.

After walking a few steps further in, the space suddenly widened, and some unknown Red Spiritual Flowers grew on the stone walls, adding to the elegance.

In the center of the cave lay a jade coffin of emerald green, its surface surrounded by a faint aura of life-clearly no ordinary object.

Bai Yue led Mu Chenxi to the jade coffin. The coffin was not sealed, and looking down, they could see the petite figure inside.

Inside lay a red-haired girl, dressed in a pure white gown, her hair tied into two fluffy twin ponytails with white ribbons behind her head. Her eyelashes were long, her skin fair, like a sleeping little beauty.

Mu Chenxi leaned over to look into the coffin, her pupils suddenly contracting. Her body instinctively retreated half a step, her fingertips icy cold.

Clearly, the girl in the coffin was just an ordinary child without any Spiritual Power, yet Mu Chenxi inexplicably felt a sense of dread, even her breathing faltered for a moment.

“What’s wrong, Chenxi?”

Bai Yue noticed her abnormal reaction and gently supported her arm, her eyes full of confusion.

“I… I don’t know either.”

Mu Chenxi took a deep breath, trying to calm the fear in her heart, her eyes showing a hint of bewilderment.

“I’ve never met Senior Sister before, but the moment I saw her, I couldn’t help but feel afraid, even my Spiritual Power became unstable.”

She couldn’t help but glance at the coffin again. The girl showed no trace of Spiritual Qi, looking just like an ordinary mortal.

Yet that unsettling feeling struck her once more, making her instinctively avert her gaze.

Bai Yue also frowned, full of puzzlement.

Her disciple Yan Hua was obedient and sensible, just a pitiful little girl she had picked up, with no Spiritual Qi and unable to cultivate. But how could she cause such a reaction in Chenxi?

It seemed Yan Hua also harbored some unknown secret, and it was somehow connected to Chenxi.

“Don’t be afraid, this is your Senior Sister Yan Hua. Yan Hua is very well-behaved.”

Bai Yue gently patted Mu Chenxi’s hand, her tone soft and comforting.

Then she looked at the girl in the jade coffin, her gaze even more tender.

“When Yan Hua wakes up, you two will surely get along well.”

After speaking, Bai Yue raised her hand and gently rubbed the girl’s small head in the jade coffin, her eyes filled with gentle affection.

Mu Chenxi nodded, took a deep breath, and forced herself to suppress the strange feeling in her heart, refusing to dwell on it further.

But seeing her Master treat the girl in the coffin so tenderly, that sour feeling in her heart surfaced again.

Bai Yue did not notice Mu Chenxi’s emotional change. She took out a translucent white Echo Conch from her sleeve, its shell engraved with delicate water patterns.

This was an Echo Conch, capable of preserving voices.

In case Yan Hua woke up, she could use it to learn of Bai Yue’s whereabouts.

“Yan Hua, Master is going to look for Grandmaster.” Bai Yue gently stroked the Echo Conch with her fingertips, bringing it to her lips and speaking in an extremely soft voice.

“Yan Hua, you must be good. Don’t worry about Master. Stay here and wait for me to come back. Don’t run around; it’s dangerous outside.”

After giving her instructions, she gently placed the Echo Conch beside the girl’s hand and softly caressed her serene, fair sleeping face.

Master is so gentle with Senior Sister Yan Hua…

Mu Chenxi watched from the side, the sour feeling in her heart growing stronger. She subconsciously clenched the hem of her dress.
