Chapter 19 (part 1)

The wound medicine given by Qin Shitian is naturally the best, plus it's also just some superficial wounds, so after resting for two days, Gu Bai put on the Devil Guard's clothes and ran to report.

When Gu Bai arrived, Qin Shitian just got up from bed. Seeing his arrival, Qin Shitian casually said one sentence, "you are quite sensible" and didn't care about him afterwards.

Gu Bai is naturally clear about Qin Shitian's temper, he is very unfeeling and ruthless, he never treats anyone kindly except for Mo Haige. He has always been domineering and arrogant. That day, it was due to a sudden feeling of novelty did he spoke encouragingly.

However, Gu Bai is much more thick-skinned and his courage is also very big. He doesn't find a place to hide himself and be a hidden guard like the other Devil Guards, he brazenly follow behind Qin Shitian's back. He is unlike a Devil Guard and more like a small attendant.

In fact, his current cultivation is in the Yellow level*. In Mozong, if not for the sect leader's personal promise, he wouldn't have the opportunity to be a Devil Guard. The serving appearance of the small attendant created more peace* in the hearts of the Devil Guards who underwent thousands of hardships in the dark.

*Reminder: Cultivation in this world is divided into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Black and Yellow.

Each level is divided into primary, intermediate and advanced.

* Fairness/balance

They aren't too upset that Gu Bai got picked as a Devil Guard so easily

After Qin Shitian washed up and put on clothes, Mo Haige also came in.

His appearance is beautiful and his skin is fair. He wore a white satin robe outlined with exquisite patterns, not as rough as the ordinary men, and more beautiful than a family's daughter, this simple style of dress is indescribably beautiful and striking.

Once Qin Shitian saw him, the cold look on his face dispersed and there was a hint of smile between his eyebrows. He said to the people around him, "Serve the breakfast...."

As he said it, he held Mo Haige's hand and pulled the somewhat struggling person to the table to sit with him, this is his habit for the past few years, Mo Haige accompanied him during his meals every day.

As he grew older, the originally cold and distant Mo Haige alienated Qin Shitian even more, especially after knowing Qin Shitian's thoughts, he became very terrified.

Once at the table, he once again tried to break free from Qin Shitian's hand.

Although Qin Shitian is used to his coldness and alienation, he still can't help but feel slightly angry whenever he is refused, but he still couldn't bear to blame him. On the contrary, he personally picked up a piece of steamed pea flour cake* for him and reached out to touch his head.

*豌豆糕 - A snack that was popular in ancient China and it's said to be favored by Empress Dowager Cixi.

It has a refreshing and mild sweet taste.



"Haige, try this pea flour cake...."

"Thank shifu*."

*Master

Looking at the food in the bowl, Mo Haige's mouth said thanks, but his expression was extremely unwilling.

This rejection caused Qin Shitian's expression to darken, his gaze was filled with icy coldness, and the pressure of a powerhouse ceaselessly leaked out.

Mo Haige was so frightened by his pressure that he trembled and could barely breath. Knowing that he's angry, he finally put away the expression on his face.

With reluctance, he ate the snack in his bowl like completing a difficult task. He was truly unable to withstand the cold pressure of Qin Shitian. He quickly put down his chopsticks and turned toward the man exuding cold pressure.

"Shifu, disciple is full, you enjoy your meal, disciple will go down first to handle things in the sect...."

After he finished his words, he didn't even wait for Qin Shitian to nod, he immediately turned and left, not willing to stay with Qin Shitian for a while more.

When he left, Qin Shitian couldn't hold back his anger. He slammed down his chopsticks and spoke with a dark face, "Still not taking these things away!"

The servant next to him immediately responded "Yes."

Lately, the sect leader's mood is unpredictable, no one dared to disobey him. There is only death for those who defy. Moreover, the sect leader is very angry at the moment, whoever goes forward is unlucky.

Unexpectedly, there really is someone who doesn't fear death in this house. Gu Bai saw that Qin Shitian didn't even move his chopsticks, the concern left by the original host for Qin Shitian made him involuntarily step forward.

"Sect leader, you haven't eaten yet..."

After that, Gu Bai ruthlessly gave himself a slap in his heart, who told you to talk so much!

The originally heavy atmosphere in the house also froze at that moment. Several servants who were supposed to clean up the tableware stopped, they stiffened and didn't dare to look up. They secretly said, why doesn't this newcomer know how to appreciate favors, he actually dared go forward when the sect leader is angry!

"...."

Qin Shitian slowly moved his line of sight to Gu Bai, the darkness in his eyes are unclear. No one ever dared to refute the words he said. It's even done during his fit of anger, is this person not afraid of death or something?

Gu Bai is naturally afraid of death, he also didn't want to come forward at this time. However, this body is someone else's. The original host's residual emotion is still there and it will influence him before the task's completion.

Looking at Qin Shitian's calm and somewhat scary face, he hurriedly kneeled down on one knee and toughened his scalp* to speak recklessly.

*summon up courage; bite the bullet

"Subordinate's tongue slipped, may sect leader please punish, it's just that.... it's just that not eating is not good for the body."

This only applies to ordinary people. For a powerhouse like Qin Shitian who has cultivated to the peak level, don't mention one meal, he won't die even if he doesn't eat for a month.

Qin Shitian stared at him and didn't speak. Gu Bai kneeled and didn't dare to move. While he was annoyed in his heart and regretted for not suppressing the original host's emotions, he also secretly thought that this half kneeling is very uncomfortable.

Just when he thought that Qin Shitian was going to be angry and smack him to death, the other party took one glance at him and eventually said, "Get up, spread the dishes for benzun...."

"Yes, sect leader!"

Gu Bai's face was happy once he heared that. He quickly stood up from the ground and patted the dust off his knee while running over in a rush.

Qin Shitian noticed his smile and the mood that was originally a bit gloomy suddenly improved by half. He also remembered his peeking action on the training ground that day and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but pull upwards.

Gu Bai: |ω・）*peeking*
