The Ancient Realm Goddess
The Cruel Teacher
“Master, Miss, sorry if my arrival has disturbed you,” Mo Feng said as he bowed respectfully.
“Hmm. What did you bring?” Mo Jingtian directly asked. He raised next to his brows as he stared at the porcelain urn in Mo Feng's hand. He could not check it without spiritual power.
Mo Feng immediately knelt down and gave the urn to his master. He looked down with a complicated expression. Even though he was used to it, he still hesitated to say it. “Master, Mo Yu ..”
“Mo Yu?”
Mo Jingtian finally let out a long sigh. Even without Mo Feng continuing his words, he already understood his point. There was nothing he could do but take the jar and keep it.
“Who killed him?” he asked Mo Feng.
“That's because he saved me.” Qing Yue’er said softly. The events of that day still made him feel uncomfortable. After all he had owed Mo Yu his life without knowing how to pay for it.
“Who harmed you?”
“On Feng Xuan,” Mo Feng replied. “He is the one who has been opening the gates of the underworld. He attacked Miss Qing in East Tongxuan. Luckily, Mo Yu arrived on time.
“But he lost his life because of it.” Qing Yue’er looked at Mo Jingtian elaborately. “Do you not blame me?”
Mo Jingtian shook her head. He stared at the porcelain jar gently. “He has done his job well. It's not your fault at all. If there is someone to blame, it is Di Feng Xuan.”
He smiled at Qing Yue’er. “Do not feel sad. The cycle of life and death was short for those humans. Maybe you will see him reincarnated later,” he said casually.
Qing Yue’er was speechless. Is reincarnation that easy? Why did Mo Jingtian say it so easily?
“Forget about that. You better learn to make a strong seal,” Mo Jingtian said.
“So, you're going to teach me?” Qing Yue’er looked at the man with sparkling eyes.
“Of course. Who is more worthy than me?” His tone was indifferent. Her arrogance looks so natural and normal.
Qing Yue’er chuckled. “Good.”
Then he looked at Mo Feng who was still there. He said, “Please tell me where the demon gates are located.”
Mo Feng seemed to have already prepared that. He directly handed the paper scroll to Qing Yue’er. When it opened, it instantly showed a map that was already marked with red ink. The red ink was the location where the demon gates were.
Qing Yue’er's forehead wrinkled deeply when looking at her dots. Everything was in a hidden place with a difficult terrain. Demons probably won't have any trouble crawling from there. However, for humans, it would be a difficult situation.
At Feng Xuan this had actually chosen a place maturely. The man must have planned this for people to have trouble finding and closing the demon gate. Really sneaky.
“Let those who take care of those demons. You only need to seal that gate when the time has come,” Mo Jingtian said calmly.
“I understand.” Qing Yue’er nodded. He would listen to Mo Jingtian's instructions.
“Mo Feng, go. Keep an eye on their movements. Bring some people to help you,” Mo Jingtian's orders.
“Good.” Mo Feng nodded. He wanted to leave, but then undo his intentions. He looked at Mo Jingtian with a difficult to interpret gaze. There were many thoughts that disturbed him.
“What's up?”
Mo Feng sighed then lowered his head. “Master, Miss Qing said that you were injured at Celestial.”
“You've seen me okay now. Only my spiritual power is sealed.”
Although Mo Jingtian sounded relaxed, Mo Feng couldn't be that calm. He felt angry at Baili Linwu and the rotten gods in the heavenly court. Both of his hands started clenching when he thought of that.
“Soon. They will definitely be destroyed soon,” Qing Yue’er said coldly. He gritted his teeth firmly. I really want this to end soon. He wants to take his father back and destroy those who have hurt his loved ones.
‘It won't be long,’ murmured in heart.
Tonight too Qing Yue’er focused on learning to make a strong seal. Mo Jingtian had given her a hint and she wanted to give it a try immediately. So now in the backyard, he bowed while holding a sword.
The sharp end of his sword touched the ground. Spiritual Qi mixed with spirit power flowed from his hand towards the tip of that sword. He quickly moved, pulling the tip of the sword up to draw a large-sized special pattern on the ground.
While doing that, his lips moved to cast a long spell. Every now and then he made a mistake while chanting a spell, and it made Mo Jingtian look at him sharply. The man stood up while folding his hands on his chest. His attitude really looks like a cruel teacher.
However, Qing Yue’er pretended not to see. The spell to make the seal was completely unfamiliar. This was the first time he had heard and tidied it. Of course he'll still make mistakes.
When he finished chanting the spell, the pattern on the ground was already completed. Sweat splashed on his forehead and back. He was surprised to learn that this activity was able to drain the spiritual energy in his body.
He took a deep breath, then straightened his back. A faint smile appeared on his face. He waited for the seal pattern on the ground to spring into action. However, for a while, nothing happened.
“….”
“Why is there nothing?” He asked in wonder. “Does this fail?”
Mo Jingtian snorted. He instantly replied with a sarcasm, “You made a mistake while chanting a spell. How could it work?”
“Just a little mistake,” bela Qing Yue’er.
“It still won't work. This seal is not a lowly seal that can understand the fault of its maker.”
“Ya, yes, yes, yes ...” Qing Yue’er was just breeding it. Mo Jingtian in serious fashion was someone that should not be denied. Better not fight him.
“Do it once again!” the man's orders.
Qing Yue’er finally repeated the activity again. He again poured his spirit power and spiritual qi into the sword. After that he started to move around drawing special patterns on the ground again.
This time he made fewer mistakes than before. However, it was not enough to make Mo Jingtin feel satisfied. The man frowned. Since he was currently not wearing a mask, his grim expression was seen so clearly.
He was already preparing to nag, but Qing Yue’er immediately stopped him. “Wait! You have to excuse me. Why are you so impatient?”
“I'm very patient. If this isn't you, believe me I've long since kicked a slow student like this,” Mo Jingtian flatly said.
“Haiiih?” Qing Yue’er was speechless. Was Mo Jingtian always like this when teaching a disciple? Who might want to be his student?
He snorted with a stupor. After all, she was a genius girl who easily learned something. If he is slow, it is not because he is stupid or incapable. That was because what he learned was something that was not his capacity.
“Why? Don't you want guidance from me?” Mo Jingtian raised next to his brows.
“It …. That's absolutely true. But—"
“Is it because you haven't studied for so long that you've been lazy? Or because I'm your teacher so you can't be serious?”
Qing Yue’er grimaced hearing that. Mo Jingtian's mouth could truly be cruel even to him. Since when is he like this? Has losing spiritual power changed his attitude?
“Alright, Dear Mr. Mo.”
He wiped the sweat off his forehead. Although Mo Jingtian sounded cruel, but what was said was true. He had not studied for a long time with a teacher. As long as in the Celestial he did not even have a teacher. Maybe that also makes him not get progress in martial arts and other abilities.
“I understand,” muttered with a more serious expression.
Mo Jingtian silently smiled. Maybe he sounded pressurized and forced Qing Yue’er, but he knew what he was doing. That girl is a world spiritist. By pushing his spirit power to the limit, he wanted the girl to achieve a new breakthrough.
