Please Spare My Life, Disciple of the Demon Lord

After figuring out the arrangements, Jiang Tingwan quickly scooped the rice in the bowl into his mouth.

After dinner, Jiang Tingwan left Tingfeng Courtyard and groped his way to Liuhua Peak.

Because she didn't know how to fly a sword, Jiang Tingwan walked to Liuhua Peak on foot. When she arrived, Mu Qingge's apprenticeship ceremony had been completed, and Cang Shuzi was speaking under the statue of the ancestor.

"From today on, Mu Qingge will be the fifth inner disciple of Sanyuan Sect and will practice with you."

A young woman was kneeling in front of him and receiving the jade pendant representing her status as an inner sect disciple.

Normally, Jiang Tingwan, as an elder, should be present at such occasions. However, Bai Wangshu has been devoted to cultivation over the years, living in seclusion and rarely attending any of Sanyuan Sect's events. Everyone has become accustomed to this.

"Thank you, Master!" A clear and lingering voice answered. Mu Qingge raised her head, revealing a beautiful face with skin as white as jade, starry eyes and cloud-like eyebrows, and an extraordinary temperament. Between her eyebrows and eyes, there seemed to be a spiritual aura like the stars and the sea.

There is a beautiful lady in the north, who is isolated and independent.

Jiang Tingwan watched from afar, and was once again immersed in the beauty. Although it was not so clear, she was already very satisfied. After all, she was the heroine in her writing.

"Why is Senior Sister here?"

Gu Qingman was the first one to see her, and Jiang Tingwan also came back to his senses. He walked forward in everyone's sight, and when he saw Mu Yunzhong in the audience, he nodded naturally at him.

Mu Yunzhong was stunned by what he had not expected, and the others looked around in surprise. When did the Third Elder start to treat Mu Yunzhong well?

Jiang Tingwan walked to the front of the crowd, and Gu Qingman's voice continued to ring out: "Senior Sister, don't you always dislike coming to this kind of occasion? I didn't ask you today, but you came by yourself. Is the sun rising from the west?!"

To this day, Gu Qingman still believes that the reason why Jiang Tingwan was unwilling to accept Mu Qingge as her disciple was that she was unwilling to tell others about her method of avoiding the backlash from the San Yuan Jue. After all, how could a heartless and selfish person like her allow others to surpass her in cultivation?

Even if she suggested that the head disciple organize the inner disciples to teach together, she would not be truly willing to share.

Gu Qingman's voice was still ringing in his ears when Cang Shuzi immediately introduced Mu Qingge, "This is the third elder of the sect, and also your uncle!"

"Disciple Mu Qingge greets Uncle Jiang!"

Mu Qingge bowed solemnly to Jiang Tingwan. This bow made Jiang Tingwan feel for the first time that she was meeting a younger person, as if she were an old woman in her seventies or eighties.

"No gifts, no gifts!"

Jiang Tingwan responded awkwardly, and happened to notice that the jade pendant on Mu Qingge's body was swaying slightly in the air. He suddenly remembered what those outer disciples had said when they had made things difficult for Mu Yunzhong.

"How can a loser who has never worshipped the ancestors be called an inner sect disciple? He is full of lowly bones. I think he is no better than a slave."

Then he turned his head and looked at the several inner disciples below the stage. Except for Mu Yunzhong, the other four were wearing jade pendants that symbolized their status as inner disciples.

Such a difference makes Mu Yun look like an outsider with unknown identity.

"Senior Brother!" So she secretly pulled Cang Shuzi's sleeve and called him softly.

Cang Shuzi looked at the jade hand on his sleeve, and seeing that Jiang Tingwan seemed to want to say something to him in private, he said to Mu Qingge, "Qingge, go down and meet your brothers! Tomorrow I will formally teach you the practice method of Sanyuan Jue."

After Mu Qingge walked down the stairs, Cang Shuzi let Jiang Tingwan pull him away.

"Senior Brother! Do you have any extra jade pendants from that inner disciple?" Jiang Tingwan asked in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Cang Shuzi subconsciously glanced at Mu Yunzhong in the audience. Jiang Tingwan continued to explain, "When I accepted Mu Yunzhong as my apprentice, I didn't give him the jade pendant, which led to some rumors. Today, you happened to accept Mu Qingge as your apprentice, so why not let me give him this one."

As Jiang Tingwan spoke, he smiled back at Xing Mingzi, Gu Qingman and others who were puzzled beside him, trying not to appear so weird in his behavior.

Cang Shuzi glanced at Jiang Tingwan without saying anything. He just stretched out his left hand from his sleeve and a new jade pendant appeared out of thin air. Then he slowly said, "This jade pendant was originally prepared for him. Now that you have spoken, I will give it to him as your master!"

Jiang Tingwan loosened his hand that was holding his sleeve, took the jade pendant from Cang Shuzi, and said in surprise, "Thank you, Senior Brother!"

When Jiang Tingwan turned around, Xing Mingzi and Gu Qingman, who were originally confused about what the two were talking about, understood immediately when they saw the jade pendant in her hand.

It turned out that he wanted to give his disciple a new status.

After handing over the identity jade, Cang Shuzi left, and Xing Mingzi and the other two followed him. Only Jiang Tingwan returned to the place where he had just been.

At the bottom of the stairs, several inner disciples were vying to introduce themselves to Mu Qingge. After all, she was the first female disciple of Sanyuan Sect, and a stunning beauty at that.

"Hello, little junior sister. My name is Meng Ziyuan. I am a disciple of Elder Gu. You can just call me Brother Ziyuan!" The first person to speak was Gu Qingman's eldest disciple Meng Ziyuan.

Jiang Tingwan also had some impression. Because Gu Qingman didn't like Bai Wangshu, her apprentice also liked to bully Mu Yunzhong.

"My name is Mo Shaoyu, and I am from the same lineage as Senior Brother Meng! You can call me whatever you want."

"My name is Mo Shaoyang. Senior Brother Mo and I are from the same bloodline and we are brothers." Another young man who looked somewhat like Mo Shaoyu said.

Yes, Gu Qingman accepted three disciples because he felt that he could no longer catch up with Bai Wangshu in cultivation, so he placed his hopes on his own disciples.

It’s a pity that after years of practice, they have only just broken through to the middle stage of Jindan and have almost reached their limit.

It can be said that the Sanyuan Sect is now short of talented people. Before this, there were only three inner disciples who had reached the Jindan stage in the entire sect. This is also the fundamental reason why Cang Shuzi was willing to exchange the Sanyuan Jue for Mu Qingge's admission into the Sanyuan Sect.

"Hello, three senior brothers! Qingge greets you."

Mu Qingge's lukewarm response showed no emotion of intimacy or distance, which inevitably made Meng Ziyuan and Mo Shaoyu feel a little disappointed.

"Junior Sister Mu! My name is Lin Shuyu. Nice to meet you, so polite!" Lin Shuyu introduced himself. He looked at Mu Yunzhong who was standing aside with his head lowered, and introduced himself as well.

"This is Uncle Jiang's disciple, named Mu Yunzhong. He has a weak personality and doesn't like to talk, but he's easy to get along with. I'm afraid he won't be able to say anything when he meets you for the first time, so I'll introduce him to you."

Lin Shuyu pulled Mu Yunzhong over, put his arms around Mu Yunzhong's neck and explained.

Jiang Tingwan, who was standing on the steps, was listening to Lin Shuyu's introduction to Mu Yunzhong, and twitched his lips: Easy to get along with? Weak temper? You are really innocent! Is this person unpredictable?

Mu Qingge noticed that Mu Yunzhong had been keeping his head down, and for the first time, he took the initiative to speak: "Your last name is Mu too?!"

Different from the previous lukewarm and symbolic social response, Mu Qingge's words carried a bit of surprise of meeting an old friend in a foreign land.

Mu Yun finally noticed the difference and raised his head, and replied in panic: "Junior Sister Mu, you misunderstood. Although my last name is Mu, it is the same as in grass and trees. It has the same pronunciation but different characters."

This tree is not the same as that tree, and they share the same pronunciation but different paths. This was also the ingenuity of Jiang Tingwan when he named them, and it was destined that they would eventually go their separate ways.

Mu Yunzhong's tone was full of inferiority, which made Mu Qingge even more puzzled. She couldn't help but take a closer look at the person in front of her, and said with surprise again: "It's you! We met in the back mountain yesterday."

Hearing Mu Qingge's words, Meng Ziyuan and others looked at him with jealousy. This kid actually took the initiative?

Mu Yun finally raised his eyes to look at the person in front of him, and remembered that he happened to meet a woman practicing magic in the back mountain last night. It turned out that she was Mu Qingge.

The woman's gentle smile was like a spring breeze blowing towards him, making Mu Yun finally feel that the way she looked at him was different from anything he had seen before.

There was no disgust or hatred, no discrimination or ridicule, and no pity or sympathy. She seemed to be looking at a person who was the same as herself as an equal. This was the first time he felt this strange feeling.

Mu Yun was slightly distracted as he looked at Mu Qingge, but Jiang Tingwan was seriously watching the scene of their meeting and acquaintance.

A girl who is gifted by heaven, and a "cowardly" disciple who is bullied by others.

It was because Mu Yun finally felt a sense of equal respect in Mu Qingge's gaze that he developed feelings for her.

Later, after Mu Qingge learned about Mu Yunzhong's situation in Sanyuan Sect, she often protected him and even dared to confront Bai Wangshu head-on for him. Thus, she gradually captured Mu Yunzhong's heart.

But precisely because of this gap, Mu Qingge only regarded him as a junior brother who needed protection and never thought about any romance between them.

So when Mu Yun finally found out that Mu Qingge fell in love with the male protagonist Luo Xingnan, she went to extremes, thinking that her kindness to her was only out of sympathy and pity, just like Lin Shuyu's care for her.

This pity hurt his self-esteem, so he felt unwilling and angry, and decided to abandon love and become a demon.

but!

but!

But now it’s different! Jiang Tingwan came in!

As the author, she wants to make Mu Yun finally become a brilliant existence like the male protagonist Luo Xingnan through her own efforts. She wants Mu Yun finally to abandon the darkness, turn her heart to the light, throw away those cowardly disguises, and stand upright in front of Mu Qingge!

Luo Xingnan, just think of it as "Mom" apologizing to you. For the sake of our survival, let Mu Yunzhong be the male protagonist of this article for a while. When I return, I will start a new article for you! A great male-oriented article!

Jiang Tingwan sincerely apologized to the original male protagonist in her heart, with an awe-inspiring look as if she had no choice but to do it.

"So you have met before. It seems that Junior Brother Mu and Junior Sister have a deeper bond than we do."

Lin Shuyu said this when he heard Mu Qingge's exclamation.

Mu Yun finally came back to his senses and didn't dare to answer.

Meng Ziyuan and others were not happy to hear this, and they came up with their people. Mo Shaoyu was the first to speak: "What Junior Brother Mu, Senior Brother Lin, don't call him casually. How can someone who doesn't even have a jade pendant be considered a fellow disciple?"

As soon as Mo Shaoyu said this, Mo Shaoyang followed up with a mocking tone, "Yeah! Junior Sister doesn't know since she just arrived, but not everyone can be called Senior Brother."

Meng Ziyuan stared at Mu Qingge intently, full of admiration. He did not speak a word, but what he wanted to say had already been said by the two people beside him.

It was not until the two of them finished talking that Meng Ziyuan pretended to protect and teach them and said, "Two junior brothers, please be careful with your words. Although Junior Brother Mu has never worshipped the ancestor and does not have a jade pendant, his identity is unknown, but he still calls Uncle Jiang a master, so it is not wrong for us to call him junior brother."

The words of the three people caused Mu Qingge to look at Mu Yunzhong who was standing aside. Although their words were harsh, he looked as if he didn't care and didn't dare to resist, as if this was not the first time such a thing had happened.

Before they could say anything, Lin Shuyu took the lead in using his identity as a senior brother to suppress the three people and said, "Three junior brothers keep saying that your identity is unknown. Do you think you are superior to others?"

If calculated from the time of their initiation, Lin Shuyu should be considered their senior brother. He has always protected Mu Yunzhong, so Meng Ziyuan was not surprised to know that he would come forward, nor was he intimidated by his sudden airs of senior brother.

He quickly replied with a smile: "Brother Lin, what are you talking about? You two are still young and your words are rude. I have already taught you a lesson. If you have offended Brother Mu, I can apologize to you."

Meng Ziyuan said as he looked at Mu Yunzhong who "did not dare to speak" on the side. He said he wanted to apologize, but his body was straight, showing his arrogance. He was sure that Mu Yunzhong would not dare to really ask him to apologize because of his personality.

Mu Qingge looked back and forth at the people in front of him, then looked at Mu Yunzhong, just waiting for him to express his true feelings.

Lin Shuyu knew the outcome after just one glance. Neither party had spoken a word, and he couldn't force Meng Ziyuan to apologize. He could only shake his head in disappointment.

I am angry at his lack of fighting spirit and I feel sorry for his misfortune! This is probably what happened to Mu Yun.

Seeing that Mu Yun didn't respond, Meng Ziyuan curled up a sneer at the corner of his mouth, then looked at Mu Qingge with a victorious attitude, waiting for her eyes to fall on him.

However, before Mu Qingge could see what was happening, a frightening voice came from behind him.

"I don't know if my disciple feels offended, but you saying that his identity is unknown is offensive to me!"

When everyone heard Jiang Tingwan's voice, they turned around in shock.

Jiang Tingwan was seen sitting on the steps under the statue of the founder, with his chin propped up and looking at the people in the field.

"Uncle Jiang!" Everyone bowed.

"Master!" The faint voice was drowned out by the voices of others.

Mu Yun finally stood behind the crowd and looked up at the person on the steps.

Jiang Tingwan noticed Mu Yunzhong's gaze and complained in his heart: You rebellious son, you didn't react when others bullied you, but when I appeared, you opened your scanning eyes and monitored me?

If Mu Qingge hadn't just arrived at Sanyuan Sect and didn't know the situation, logically speaking, she should have been the one to help out. But since your identity is really unknown, and no one has a name to speak up for you, then I, your master, can only step in and give you a name, so that you can be justified and become a good match.

Jiang Tingwan frowned slightly, and stared at the people at the bottom of the stairs with a sharp gaze, like an invisible pressure, which frightened Meng Ziyuan and others so much that their pupils trembled slightly.

After a long while, Jiang Tingwan finally spoke slowly:

"Just now... who said that Mu Yunzhong's identity was unknown?"
