JSCMU-Chapter 93: Permanent Master-Servant Contract

Elder Ming’s expression was extremely alert, even wanting to eliminate Gu Jinghong on the spot.

It wasn’t that he was ruthless.

It was just that this was an evil technique. If one continued cultivating it, it would inevitably harm others and oneself.

The surrounding people’s gazes toward Gu Jinghong also became fearful and wary.

Gu Jinghong stood there, his expression unchanged, but his heart felt as if it had fallen into an icy abyss.

He was never likable since birth, he knew that.

Everyone feared him, was wary of him.

That day when he returned to the sect, only Ye Danxia smiled at him the moment she saw him.

For that smile, he was willing to do something for little junior sister.

And for that, he paid an unbearably painful price.

Now that the Blood Qi Art was exposed, people’s previous fear of him would likely turn into hostility.

Gu Jinghong pressed his lips tightly together.

Heh.

This was fine too.

When he first cultivated it, he didn’t know that the Blood Qi Art would lead to such consequences. Now, no matter what he said, it was already meaningless.

In the end, it was just death.

“Since Elder Ming has confirmed that it is indeed an evil technique,” Zhao Wuji sighed, “then he truly cannot be allowed to stay. It is also my fault for not carefully verifying the technique before giving it to Jinghong. Things have come to this point, and cannot be changed. Jinghong, this is your master’s failure. But to prevent you from falling into the demonic path in the future, today you can only…”

Gu Jinghong remained calm, even curling his lips into a smile.

Yet another person who wanted him dead.

It didn’t matter anymore.

Let him die.

“Sect Master.” A clear voice suddenly interrupted Zhao Wuji’s words.

Gu Jinghong was stunned. The light in his eyes flickered as he looked toward Yun Jin.

Could it be that Master she…

No.

No, that wasn’t right.

Gu Jinghong instantly severed that flicker of hope.

Yun Jin wanted him dead too, otherwise she wouldn’t have exposed this matter in front of everyone.

The next moment, Yun Jin’s somewhat displeased voice rang out, “Right now, Gu Jinghong is my servant! He lives if I want him to live, and he could only die if I want him to die.”

Yun Jin pointed at Ye Danxia. “She went as far as injuring herself just to ensure he’d die.”

“You, his master, also want him dead.”

“But I insist on keeping him alive.”

There’s a saying, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Though Gu Jinghong was a twisted pervert, there seemed to be secrets hidden on him.

For example.

This Blood Qi Art. Before Zhao Wuji gave it to Gu Jinghong, did he truly not know it was an evil technique?

If he did know, what exactly was he trying to do?

In her past life, Yun Jin wasn’t able to touch the real secrets of this world. The book was written from Ye Danxia’s perspective, so she only saw things from her point of view.

But clearly, what she saw wasn’t the full story.

In the original novel, Zhao Wuji had five disciples. All five loved and admired Ye Danxia, but they were all just side characters, and none of them ended well.

Gu Jinghong, it was said, died in the war against the demon race. Ye Danxia shed a few tears for him, and the male lead got so anxious he even developed resentment toward Gu Jinghong for making Ye Danxia sad.

Thinking about it now.

There were hidden layers to all of it.

Gu Jinghong very likely carried some kind of evidence of Zhao Wuji’s crimes!

So, Yun Jin now didn’t want him to die!

“Yun girl,” Elder Ming thought Yun Jin was just being stubborn and couldn’t help but try to speak.

Yun Jin gave a sweet smile. “Elder Ming, I have a master-servant contract with him! If I want him dead, he has to die! If he ever truly falls into the demonic path in the future, I can just kill him then!”

Elder Ming was stunned for a moment. Then he suddenly realized, this might actually work?

“But that master-servant contract only lasts three months?” Elder Ming couldn’t help but say.

“Indeed, just three months,” Yun Jin replied, eyes gleaming as she looked at Gu Jinghong with a half-smile.

Everything Yun Jin did was naturally worthwhile.

She could protect Gu Jinghong’s life.

But Gu Jinghong had to pay a price.

Hm?

Looking at the slightly wicked expression on Yun Jin’s face, the corners of Gu Jinghong’s mouth suddenly lifted into a joyful curve.

He understood Yun Jin’s intention.

Yet at this moment, he actually found it somewhat sweet.

Gu Jinghong took a step forward and said softly, “Elder Ming, please help. I am willing to change the master-servant contract to a permanent one.”

He bent his waist slightly and said in a low voice, “I, Gu Jinghong, for this life and all lifetimes to come, am willing to be bound by my master. Life and death shall be controlled by my master.”

Gu Jinghong’s voice even held a trace of joy.

See?

Everyone else only wanted to avoid him.

But his master wanted to bind him by her side forever.

Zhao Wuji’s expression shifted repeatedly. He wanted to say more.

However.

Gu Jinghong was willing of his own accord. What could he say?

Besides, this was the first method that could resolve the hidden danger.

Yun Jin curled her lips slightly.

Very good.

Gu Jinghong seized this opportunity.

A lifetime of free labor is secured.

Elder Ming was a bit surprised by Gu Jinghong’s decision, but soon, he gave a slight nod.

Indeed.                               

This was also a workable method.

Although Gu Jinghong cultivated the Blood Qi Art, it wasn’t out of his own will to practice an evil art. Rationally, Elder Ming knew he couldn’t let him stay, but emotionally, he was reluctant to strike him down.

Now, this could be a way to solve both issues.

“This is indeed a method. Sect Master, what do you think?” Elder Ming looked at Zhao Wuji.

Zhao Wuji looked at Gu Jinghong. “To be a servant for life, are you sure about this?”

Gu Jinghong let out a low laugh, his voice eerie, “What’s so bad about that?”

At the very least.

In this way, he and his master would share an eternal bond.

He would never be alone again.

Zhao Wuji looked at Gu Jinghong like this, and for a moment, couldn’t say a word.

“In that case, I ask the Sect Master to first dissolve the original three-month contract, so that I may reestablish the master-servant bond,” Elder Ming said. Then he reminded Yun Jin, “Your cultivation is lower than Gu Jinghong’s, so I must help you complete the contract. As long as he doesn’t reach Tribulation Crossing Stage, he won’t be able to break free. But if one day you both reach the Tribulation Crossing Stage and his cultivation is about to surpass yours, then before that happens, kill him!”

Elder Ming said these words directly in front of Gu Jinghong.

Yet Gu Jinghong’s expression didn’t change at all, as if the person being spoken about wasn’t him.

Yun Jin even gave a light laugh, “Don’t worry, Elder Ming. He won’t have a chance to break free of the contract in this lifetime.”

She was only temporarily weaker than Gu Jinghong. It wouldn’t be long before she surpassed him. In the future, she would only leave him farther and farther behind. Until one day, she wouldn’t need him at all.

“Quite confident,” Elder Ming said, fondly glancing at Yun Jin, then urged Zhao Wuji to dissolve the temporary contract.

This Gu Jinghong is a dangerous person, he must quickly secure this permanent contract for Yun girl.

Zhao Wuji had no choice and reluctantly complied.

After Elder Ming recast the spell, the mother-son rope once again disappeared into both of their wrists.

This time.

It was a permanent master-servant contract.
