I have a high-risk profession in the cultivation world.

To avoid being caught by his disciples for neglecting their duties while he was engrossed in watching, he specially set up a barrier around the courtyard. Logically speaking, the three of them should have tidied up and rested after just returning to the mountain, so why was someone looking for him so soon?

As Chu Chenmu stepped out of the courtyard, he saw an unfamiliar disciple standing not far away, dressed in inner sect attire.

He waved his hand to open the barrier, and saw the disciple in front of him cup his hands and say in a not-so-respectful manner, "Greetings, Elder Pojun. The sect leader requests your presence at the main hall of Wanjun Peak immediately."

There was nothing wrong with what he said, but looking at the junior disciple in front of him who wasn't fully facing him and whose tone was somewhat imperious, Chu Chenmu felt that the other party was somewhat hostile towards him. Hmm, did the original owner do something wrong and offend him?

Chu Chenmu looked at the original owner's persona and replied calmly, "Thank you, I'll go right away."

Although the system turns a blind eye to his violations of the character setting, it is still important that outsiders do not notice anything amiss. If someone suspects that he is not the original owner, things will get very serious.

The sect leader summoned him? Could it be that the original owner's master has emerged from seclusion?

Upon hearing this, the junior disciple on the other side didn't say anything more and simply turned and left.

Chu Chenmu only realized halfway there that it was probably because the original owner always had an icy poker face and was too unapproachable when he was the discipline elder in charge of the discipline hall, which is why he was being treated so inhumanely now.

However, it's all over. He didn't pay any attention to that Discipline Hall at all. It's been several years now. Doesn't that count as dereliction of duty...?

After landing in front of the main hall of Wanjun Peak, Chu Chenmu straightened his clothes before stepping inside.

He didn't see his master in the main seat, but instead his senior uncle sat there majestically, quietly watching him.

Chu Chenmu was puzzled, but he still stepped forward respectfully and bowed: "Disciple Chu Chenmu greets Senior Uncle Li. A disciple sent word that the Sect Leader summoned me here. May I ask if Master has emerged from seclusion?"

“Nephew Shenmu has arrived. I came to see you. Your master is still in seclusion and is worried that problems might arise if it goes on for too long, so he asked me to handle the sect's affairs for a few days.” Li Chenglin smiled kindly, without moving from his seat. “Perhaps the disciple I sent to deliver the message was clumsy and didn't express himself clearly. I will definitely punish him later.”

Upon hearing Chu Chenmu's words, Li Chenglin understood that the disciple he had sent probably hadn't explained things clearly. However, while he had to maintain appearances, Li Chenglin didn't intend to actually pursue the matter.

Chu Chenmu shook his head, stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Uncle-Master, you flatter me. It was because I was out of touch with the news that I had this misunderstanding."

Li Chenglin glanced at Chu Chenmu, who stood straight below and already exuded an air of authority, and said, "It's alright. I heard that my junior nephew has been traveling around for some time. I suppose he is not yet familiar with some of the recent changes in the Wuji Sect?"

Chu Chenmu nodded and waited quietly for Li Chenglin to continue.

Li Chenglin chuckled twice before speaking again, "A few days ago, my junior disciple took on two new personal disciples, and it seems that he has become less interested in the Discipline Hall since then." Upon hearing the name Discipline Hall, Chu Chenmu thought to himself, "This is bad. Could it be that they really came to investigate me for holding a position without doing my job?"

Before Chu Chenmu could speak, Li Chenglin continued, "Of course, this is unavoidable. Once you take on a disciple, you must teach them carefully and not bury their strengths." Perhaps thinking of the "unfair treatment" he had received in his sect back then, Li Chenglin's voice was somewhat cold.

"However, it's not good for the Discipline Hall to be left unattended. So, after much consideration, my senior brother decided to let you, Senior Brother Chu Shan, take over. Do you have any objections, nephew?" After much back and forth, Li Chenglin finally revealed his true purpose.

He narrowed his already small eyes, making his gaze even sharper as he stared at Chu Chenmu, watching for his reaction.

Chu Chenmu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing these words. This action suited him perfectly. He was not suited for the position of Discipline Elder and had no interest in putting extra energy into it.

Even if Li Chenglin didn't say it, he planned to suggest changing the person to the position when the opportunity arose.

“Master Uncle has considered everything carefully, and I have no objections,” Chu Chenmu replied sincerely.

"Oh? That's good. I was worried that Junior Nephew Shen Mu might harbor resentment because of this." Li Chenglin leaned back upon hearing this.

"Uncle-Master, you flatter me. Is there anything else you need? If not, I will take my leave now."

Stepping out of the main hall, Chu Chenmu took off on his sword, scratching his head as he walked.

Help! He felt like his senior brother Li Chenglin's words had a hidden meaning. Did he really call him here today just to tell him that he was going to be stripped of his title as a discipline elder?

Even after plopping back onto the bed, Chu Chenmu still couldn't figure it out, so he simply shook his head and gave up.

Don't try to guess what your boss is thinking; you'll never figure it out.

Storybooks are still the best, hehe.

Chu Chenmu solemnly placed "The Unknown Good Intentions of the Vicious Master" on the table, took a deep breath, and turned to the first page.

This is a book he bought by betting his last trust in "Tian Jie Wan" and his own dignity as a dog. If they all die in the end, don't blame him for being ruthless!

As for why he was so impolite, Chu Chenmu had no idea.

Chu Chenmu read with great interest, occasionally comparing himself to the wicked master in the storybook, and realizing that what he had done wasn't actually that bad. It seemed that there was still a good chance of leaving a complete corpse.

Until he saw a familiar scene—how could the master in the storybooks also push his disciple into the icy pool?!

And it was also because he needed to secretly give his disciples medicine.

He stubbornly refused to tell his disciple the truth.

This is so similar to his own experience!

Besides, the Ice Pool and the Mysterious Ice Pool differ by only one character, making the immersion incredibly strong. Chu Chenmu felt as if he were reading his own diary.

She curled her lip in disdain. Could this author possibly be any more perfunctory when it comes to naming things?

But how can I get Luo Suichen to see this book?

Chu Chenmu began to ponder in his heart. If Luo Suichen also saw this scene, wouldn't he be able to connect it to himself, and then naturally connect it to Chu Chenmu's good intentions for him? Wouldn't the misunderstanding be easily resolved?

Chu Chenmu folded a corner of this section to mark it. He was determined to find a chance to let Luo Suichen see it.

The next day, Chu Chenmu sent a telepathic message to his three junior disciples, summoning them to the mountaintop, and then led them to the Hidden Sword Pavilion in the back mountain.

The original owner's Lingtian Sword was obtained from the Hidden Sword Pavilion when he was in the late stage of Foundation Establishment. It had always been his natal sword and was connected to his mind.

Hidden Sword Pavilion is located in a very secluded place in the back mountain. It can only be reached by passing through three layers of barriers. There are three elders guarding it in the open. The elders are usually retired from the position of Wuji Sect elders. They are highly skilled and have profound cultivation.
