Chapter 936
Brother Mu Yu
“How are you, Alchemist Yao?” Mu Yu got up to greet upon seeing Yao Wuji and Cai Lie come out, calming his emotional high.
“I’m all right. Thank you, Mu Yu.”
“It was the Revealing Cauldron Dad left behind Pill Cauldron Sect, not me.” Mu Yu caressed Xiaoshuai’s head.
“Cai Lie has filled me in. Senior Brother Ku Mu has done so much we should be grateful for.”
“As did you.”
“I do not deserve a fraction of what he deserves.”
“Noble people aren’t limited to one definition. Daoist Yundan and company chose to die honourably rather than live ignobly. That is noble. Dad’s contributions from the shadows without asking for anything in return is also noble. You sacrificed your reputation and pride for everyone else’s sake. That is also noble.”
“What about you, Mu Yu? Why aren’t you noble when you’ve done so much?” Xiaoshuai questioned.
Yao Wuji explained, “Mu Yu is noble because he dares to challenge evil, save people from danger, protects his vows and never gives up on his goals.”“Since I’ve never given up on my goal to try every delicacy in the world, am I noble?”
Mu Yu flicked Xiaoshuai’s head. “I am merely lucky.”
Cai Lie came in, hauling Shi Dengtian along. “Kneel!”
Shi Dengtian, now a victim of Divine Soul Formation, had no choice but to obey. Before they knew it, Yao Wuji and Shi Dengtian’s roles had been reversed.
“Shifu, Mu Yu and I believe you should be the one to judge him. You can vent all you like!”
Though Yao Wuji hadn’t forgotten the many unscrupulous deeds he did unto others, whether directly or indirectly, he said, “Let him go. He can’t do anything now as a cripple.”
“You’re not killing me?” Shi Dengtian vigorously raised his head.
“Shifu, are you really going to spare him after what he put you through?”
“Let him go. He’s already paid his price.”
Yao Wuji was already content to have Cai Lie’s forgiveness. Killing Shi Dengtian would not make him any happier.
“All right,” replied Mu Yu.
Mu Yu and Cai Lie gave each other a nod, signalling for each other to draw their swords. The two plunged their swords through Shi Dengtian’s heart one after the other without remorse!
“You two…”
“Shifu, you may be forgiving enough to spare him, but I cannot forgive him for what he did to you.”
“He had a hand in Dad’s death. I cannot allow myself to reprieve him.” Mu Yu drew his bloody sword out with Cai Lie, letting Shi Dengtian’s body keel onto the ground.
Yao Wuji shifted his gaze from Shi Dengtian up to Mu Yu and sighed.
“How is Grandmaster Yuande doing?” Cai Lie inquired.
“I think… he needs to see his daughter. Perhaps his daughter can help him,” suggested Yao Wuji.
Mu Yu conveyed, “I will be paying her a visit soon. It’s time she returns to Pill Cauldron Sect as it needs all of you now more than ever.”
Sensing a presence approach, Mu Yu cast Hundred Faces Illusion Formation on himself. Mu Hao, who came around the corner with a box of food, explained, “I am delivering food to our guest.”
“Oh, Dull Kid!” exclaimed Xiaoshuai, prompting a frown from Mu Yu.
“My name is Mu Hao, not Dull Kid.”
“Come with me.” Mu Yu passed the box of food to Cai Lie and took Mu Hao to Celestial Staircase.
“Sir, what did you bring me here for? Did you want me to climb the staircase?” queried Mu Hao.
“No, take a seat,” responded Mu Yu, sitting down on a step.
Mu Hao dallied for a brief moment before he sat down.
“What do you think of Mu Yu?”
“Why are you asking me that?”
“I’m his friend. He told me a little about you.”
“Really? Did he compliment me?” effused Mu Hao.
“Where does your confidence come from?”
“Hahaha,” laughed Xiaoshuai, sitting on a step above them.
“No compliments?” Mu Hao sighed.
“You care about how he evaluates you?”
“… Yeah. He’s a hero and True God’s disciple. He’s my goal, so I’ve been doing my best not to embarrass him.”
Mu Yu always enjoyed Mu Hao’s praise more than anyone’s and derived a sense of accomplishment from them even though he couldn’t pinpoint why.
“He also often calls me ‘Dull Kid’. I know it’s tough for me to surpass him, but I’ll do my best. What did he say about me?”
“Mm, let’s see. He said you’re sort of slow, like to act tough when you aren’t and pretend you’re a know-it-all.”
Mu Hao lowered his head. “Really? I’m not that disappointing.”
A smile came to Mu Yu’s lips as he watched Mu Hao waddle in disappointment. “That said, he said he likes being your brother. He only cares about what you think of him as he wants to be a brother you can depend on.”
“Does he…? Pfft, I don’t want to rely on someone who always makes fun of me,” responded Mu Hao, spirits lifted. “What else did he say?”
“He wants to know if you’ll forgive him.”
“For always teasing me?”
“No. I suppose you’ve heard the rumours going on about him?”
“Of course I have! All of those claims about him razing Eastern Desert City and colluding with elemental demons are lies! He would never do that! True God is a good man! They accused Mu Yu of conspiring with fiends, and it all turned out to be a tall tale. They’re maligning him because they’re jealous! Weak people are always the same!”
“Hahaha. What would you think if he really did massacre Eastern Desert City’s residents?”
“There are no ifs. Mu Yu is a hero, and heroes don’t massacre cities.”
“Hero, huh?”
