My Disciple Die Yet Again

Chapter 40: Prehistoric Monster Infant

A conditioned reflex was really a very life-threatening thing. Because, it would occasionally cause you to say the things you should not be saying, do the wrong things, and go out of character.

Zhu Yao’s identity, because of the words she said out of reflex, was stripped off unscrupulously by a certain master.

Zhu Yao covered herself with the blanket, she was too ashamed to see anyone.

“Reason?” He pulled out the stupid disciple who was attempting to hide herself in the blanket, and strongly looked at her. The incidental lightning tribulation yesterday, caused him to suddenly think of the violent storm of spiritual energy when his stupid disciple broke through into Foundation. Hence, with slight suspicion, he called out her name, however, he did not expect that it would actually be her.

Zhu Yao struggled to squeeze out a pitiful expression, however, because of the aftermath from keeping a poker face for such a long time, she could not squeeze out any expression other than her poker face. Hence, she could only wave her two small hands about. “Mas-ter-ter~”

Yu Yan’s expression did not change, as he stared directly at her.

Evidently, acting cutesy was of no use.

“I don’t know either.” Zhu Yao acknowledged her mistake, as she lowered her head and twiddled her thumbs. “I realized I was like this the moment I woke up, and then, master, you came to get me.”

Seeing her aggrieved look, Yu Yan instantly believed her entirely. A short while later, he seemed to have thought of something, as his brows began to furrow again. “Why did you not tell master right from the start?”

Zhu Yao hanged her head down even lower, as though she was attempting to roll herself into a real dumpling.

“You don’t trust your master?”

“Of course not!” Zhu Yao instantly raised her head, and then, she shook it strongly.

“It’s master’s fault.” Yu Yan frowned deeply, as he stretched out his hand to stroke her head. “I did not protect you well, it’s normal for you to not believe me.” On that day, when he saw her corpse, it was the first time he had ever felt anger, and because of the loss of control, he destroyed the entire Silent Melancholy Forest. However, even if he did that, he was still unable to save his disciple’s life. He was not a competent master.

“That’s not it!” Zhu Yao became a little anxious. The incident back then, her master was not on-site anyway. A faraway water stream could not put out a fire nearby, it completely did not concern him at all.

As to why she did not reveal her identity, it was because…

“I had thought of telling you in the first place, but I don’t even know why I became like this. And also, in my current state, I can’t talk either… Eh? I can talk?”

On hindsight, Zhu Yao rubbed her face, she really was able to talk now. Earlier, she was still like a regular one year old, unable to say a complete sentence. Now, when she talked, there were completely no hindrance. Had she not grown too fast?

“Your cultivation has recovered.” Yu Yan calmly said. As a Foundation Paragon, naturally, talking should be of no problem.

Eh? Zhu Yao was startled. She tried sensing for a moment, and as he had said, there was spiritual energy flowing. She then circulated the spiritual energy, forming a bolt of lightning, with a bang. The white bolt of lightning, then struck directly… on Yu Yan’s head.

“Uh, my hand slipped!”

“Mischievous!” Yu Yan coldly glared at her, yet, his tone did not sound reproachful in the slightest. A bolt of lightning cast by a mere Foundation stage practitioner, obviously could not harm him. Actually, before that bolt of lightning made contact with his body, it had already been dispersed by his pressure.
