Please Spare My Life, Disciple of the Demon Lord

Jiang Tingwan raised her little face and pleaded devoutly.

Wen Bumian took a deep breath and shook his head helplessly.

"Really?" Jiang Tingwan asked with the last glimmer of hope.

"Why would I lie to you? Now in this world, we are the only ones who depend on each other."

After he finished speaking, Jiang Tingwan was moved, but when he thought about the gap between him and himself, his face instantly fell.

How come he is so awesome when he travels through books?

Jiang Tingwan's defenses were broken and he was about to curse the heavens and the earth again.

Wen Bumian, who had seen this before, interrupted in time: "But the medicine doesn't have any major side effects except that your body will be weak after the effect wears off. Moreover, it can reach 80% of Bai Wangshu's strength, which is enough to save your life. If you need it, I will just refine it for you."

As he spoke, Wen Bumian took out a bottle of golden elixir from the inner room and placed it in front of Jiang Tingwan.

"What will happen if I eat them all?"

Jiang Tingwan immediately picked up the bottle of medicine on the table and opened the stopper.

Wen Bumian stopped him in time: "Absolutely not. The efficacy of this medicine is determined by the physical fitness of the user. One pill is within the safe range. If you take them at the same time, your strength will increase dramatically in a short period of time, but the consequences..."

Speaking of this, Wen Bumian was a little uncertain.

"What are the consequences?"

"No one has ever eaten like this before? You'd better not be the first! I don't want to be the only one struggling here in the end."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tingwan looked seriously at the pill in his hand. The last time he took one, he was lying in bed for several days. If he took all of this, would he become a vegetable?

"But then again, are you really unable to practice? I have other elixirs that can help you break through the levels of practice." Wen Bumian asked with concern.

Jiang Tingwan rolled his eyes at himself and acknowledged the fact. "Don't mention it. I can't even touch the door, let alone the level. Others can gather spiritual power in their bodies after reading a spell, but I can only take a deep breath after reading one!"

Jiang Tingwan said this and then made a gesture, put his hands on his dantian, took a deep breath, and finally let go of his hands and shrugged.

"Is the difference that big?"

Wen Bumian pinched his chin in confusion, with a hint of smile in his eyes that he couldn't help.

"It doesn't matter if you laugh at me. I've already become indifferent to it. I'll just be trash. I'm lying down."

Seeing Jiang Tingwan's optimistic and contented look, Wen Bumian put down his hand, patted her shoulder and promised: "Don't worry, I'm still here! I won't let you call me boss for nothing!"

After saying that, Jiang Tingwan immediately clasped his fists towards Wen Bumian and shouted, "Then I would like to thank you for your care, sir!"

After that, the two smiled at each other, and the emotions that had just arisen from the argument with Mu Yunzhong disappeared completely.

-------------------------------------

When Mu Yunzhong and Lin Shuyu arrived at the meeting hall, almost everyone was there. Cang Shuzi nodded slightly at the two of them, motioning them to stand in their seats.

"You are the most outstanding disciples in the sect now, and you will represent the sect to go to Qinghuai City in a few days. The journey is long and the mountains are high. You will pass through many mountain towns on the way, which are far more novel and complex than what you have seen and heard in the sect. Therefore, this trip is not only a journey to win reputation for the sect, but also the best opportunity for you to get training."

Cang Shuzi looked at the energetic faces in the hall and repeated what his master had said to them a hundred years ago, year after year, class after class, as if he had returned to a hundred years ago.

At that time, he was the most outstanding disciple in the sect. He was full of vigor and ambition. He was full of expectations for everything unknown ahead and regarded all challenges as an indispensable experience in life.

And at this moment, the disciples in front of him also showed the same expression as he did back then.

"Therefore, although the Fourth Elder will lead you to Qinghuai this time, she will not participate in any decision on anything that happens along the way, and will only supervise. Among the ten of you, Mu Yunzhong and Mu Qingge have the highest cultivation. Therefore, I have discussed with the two elders and appointed them as consular disciples, who can make full decisions on all matters."

After he finished speaking, Mu Qingge took the lead and stood in front of the crowd.

"Disciple accepts the order!"

As they spoke, everyone looked at the only female disciple in the sect with admiration. They felt that she was emitting a kind of radiance and aura, and her temperament was extraordinary. The affection in Meng Ziyuan's eyes was even stronger.

Mu Yun, who was still hesitating, was finally pushed out by Lin Shuyu and stood on the side of Mu Qingge.

Meng Ziyuan's face darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Before Mu Yunzhong could react, Lin Shuyu had already reminded him quietly, "Don't just stand there! Answer the question now!"

Mu Yun finally came to his senses after hearing the voice and immediately replied, "Disciple obeys the order!"

Meng Ziyuan looked at Mu Yunzhong in the hall with deep resentment. This position should have been his, but was taken away by Mu Yunzhong who suddenly appeared. When he walked out of the mountain gate in the future, his name would always be overshadowed by his.

"The Immortal Hundred Clan Trial Conference will be held in two months. With your cultivation level, you can reach Qinghuai City from Luoyang Mountain by flying on a sword in three days at the fastest. But after you go down the mountain, I want you to land in any village you come across and enter any city you see. As long as you reach Qinghuai City within the time limit, you will be able to participate."

When Cang Shuzi said this, everyone looked at each other in confusion, but no one dared to ask, so they could only put their hands together and said in unison: "Yes!"

"Go down and prepare. We will set out from the mountain gate in seven days."

Cang Shuzi waved his hand and everyone bowed and left.

Mu Qingge was the first to walk out of the hall. There were still seven days before departure, so she still had seven days to retreat.

The rest of the disciples also gradually dispersed, only Mu Yunzhong stood there without moving. Seeing that he seemed to have something to say, Cang Shuzi gestured to Xing Mingzi and Gu Qingman who were present.

The two of them also left at the same time. All the people in the hall left, leaving only Mu Yunzhong.

"Do you have something to say to me?" Cang Shuzi spoke first.

"Disciple doesn't know whether I should say it or not." Mu Yun finally lowered his head, looking hesitant.

"If you didn't want to talk, you would have left with them. Since you chose to stay here, you have decided to tell me something. Why act like this?"

Cang Shuzi stared straight at Mu Yunzhong in the hall. Even today, he could see that the disciple in front of him had not been honest in the past.

After all, it is incredible to leap from the state of gathering Qi to the state of transformation in a short period of time. The only explanation is that he has been hiding his strength.

Perhaps she heard the doubt in Cang Shuzi's tone, Mu Yun finally raised her head and reported her master with great righteousness.

"Master intends to go down the mountain with Sect Master Wen and help him clean up the sect! As a disciple, I cannot persuade him on this matter. I can only tell Master Yu. Master Yu also knows Master's current situation. Leaving the sect is tantamount to putting himself in danger."

After Mu Yunzhong finished speaking, Cang Shuzi's expression changed from suspicion to surprise. He was surprised at Jiang Tingwan's decision and also surprised at Mu Yunzhong's concern for Jiang Tingwan.

If it was the cowardly and bullied Mu Yunzhong before, she might still believe that he had some awe and concern for his master Jiang Tingwan.

But when these words came out of the mouth of Mu Yunzhong, who had been hiding his strength in the sect for many years, he could no longer see through it.

"You actually care about your master." Cang Shuzi said while observing the expression on Mu Yunzhong's face.

"It was Master who brought me back to the mountain. Without Master, I would not be where I am today. Over the years, Master was trapped by his inner demons. Although he treated me harshly, I never complained. After Master was attacked by the Three Yuan Jue, he untied his knot and taught me attentively. I am grateful to him."

Facing Cang Shuzi's suspicion, Mu Yun finally brought up the matter of Jiang Tingwan's inner demon himself.

"Do you also think that your master has treated you harshly over the years?" Cang Shuzi asked immediately.

Hearing this, Mu Yunzhong immediately knelt on the ground, but did not deny it. "I know the past between Master and my father, and I know the hurt my father brought to Master in this matter. I also know that Master resents my father and my existence. Therefore, I dare not let Master see the shadow of my father in me in any way. I can only be a cowardly and incompetent disciple, just hoping that Master can reduce the grief in his heart."

Mu Yun finally explained why he had hidden his strength all these years by "revealing his own scars".

Cang Shuzi was even more shocked when he heard this. Was he doing this for such a reason? It was wrong to involve the grudges of the previous generation in the next generation, but he actually took it all on himself and even still regarded Jiang Tingwan as his master?

Mu Yun finally knelt on the ground with his head down, looking sensible but bearing all the sadness and helplessness, which made Cang Shuzi feel that his suspicion of him just now had become a sin.

He withdrew his suspicious gaze towards Mu Yunzhong, stretched out his hand and helped him up, "You have worked hard over the years!"

After saying these words, a trace of guilt appeared on Cang Shuzi's face, "Since you took the initiative to bring up this matter, you must be well aware of the sect's disregard over the years."

Mu Yun finally raised his head and saw Cang Shuzi's expression. He said very frankly, "When your father abandoned you on the wedding day, it was not only a betrayal of you, but also a humiliation to Sanyuan Sect. If he didn't want to, he could have told me earlier instead of leaving alone on the wedding day. Therefore, not only you, but we all have a lot of resentment about what happened that day."

At this point, Cang Shuzi's face was filled with shame and apology, "But no matter what, I have let you down by allowing Junior Sister to treat you harshly over the years. As the head of the sect, I am even more ashamed."

After saying that, Cang Shuzi raised his hand and patted Mu Yunzhong's shoulder, as if to apologize.

Mu Yun was extremely stunned. He never expected Cang Shuzi to do this. He looked at the hands on his shoulders in surprise, puzzled and even a little horrified.

"Uncle!"

He murmured, shocked that the man in front of him, who was the current sinner of Sanyuan Sect to him, was actually apologizing to him?

Aren't they supposed to be villains who seize other people's spells, treat them as treasures, and are proud of them, hypocritical and seeking fame?

Why would he apologize to his disciple for such a small matter?

Is this what the leader of the Sanyuan Sect did?
