My Disciple Wants to Tease Me Every Day - Chapter 9

Chapter 9 – Making a Big Disturbance
Yue Qingfeng said, “Forget about it, it wasn’t anything major. Whether it happens or not is still a variable. I just wanted to remind you that you can’t be excessively indulgent when bringing up a disciple. She’s already this old, it’s time for her to learn some independence. If you always keep her by your side it won’t have any benefit for her growth. Do you understand what Shixiong is saying?”

Di Jiufeng nodded. “I understand. It’s just that this is her first time here, everything is unfamiliar to her, so I can’t…”

“You can’t what, your disciple is used to living feral, why would she care about these things, Jiufeng…”

For some reason, Yue Qingfeng became agitated, his brows drawing together. With a solemn voice, he said, “Shixiong hopes you will not stray from the main road!”

With a flick of his sleeves, he flew out the window, leaving behind a dumbfounded Di Jiufeng and sulking Ning Guang.

This Shixiong who came out of nowhere, constantly harboring evil designs towards her Shifu, was now visibly and secretly making hindrances for her, wanting to make her Shifu leave her out to pasture.

Ah, how could that be? She definitely wouldn’t let that sort of thing happen!

Ning Guang inwardly sneered, her two hands gripping her Shifu’s hand with even more force. She hung her head and lowered her eyelids, delicate long lashes continuously shaking like a fallen brocade butterfly with a broken wing. With a piteous and despairing struggle, she cried, “Shifu, that mister just now, does he… does he not like me?”

Di Jiufeng started, hurrying to comfort her. “No, if he doesn’t like you, then why would he help hide you from that bad old man?”

“Then why does he always want you to stay far away from me? Shifu, am I really a filthy thing that if left by someone’s side will cause them to meet misfortune? If it’s really like that, then you… then you should send me down the mountain!”

Ning Guang hesitated a while, then suddenly raised her head, grabbing Di Jiufeng’s palm as tightly as if it were her last thread of hope. “Shifu, I’m not afraid, I’ve been living alone since I was small. You can send me down the mountain, when I grow up I’ll come find you again.”

In her impassioned speech, that forcibly raised voice not only allowed herself to seem a bit more relaxed, but also allowed her to deceive herself. In the end, she didn’t want to leave at all.

Di Jiufeng naturally knew this, and it was because she knew that she would feel this amount of pity in her heart. Ning Guang was only ten, this should have been the time for a child’s innocent and unaffected youth. But, she already had a superhuman understanding of the world. How much hardship had she suffered to collect this wisdom?

An earth-shattering feeling of bitter pain rushed forth, wave after wave of heart-seizing, choking pain.

She hurried to take Ning Guang in her arms, holding her to her bosom. “Silly child, you won’t have to worry about this sort of thing ever again. Shifu promises not to abandon you this whole life. Okay, we have to leave now.

Flicking the tip of Ning Guang’s nose and pulling her up, Di Jiufeng said, “Shifu will go deal with this old fellow right now. I’ll let the whole sect know, no one is to call you a fiend ever again!”

Walking straight outside, every inch of her flying robes frosted over with an impenetrable layer of frost and snow.

Like an unsheathed sword, Di Jiufeng showed the whole of her cutting edge, calling up a forceful power.

“Qian Sui, you’ve pushed me to this point, and I cannot be kind any longer. My disciple has already left, but I don’t trust you and these fanatics of yours. I’ll go straight to look for the Sect Leader. I want to see, now that you’ve slandered this innocent child, whether or not you’ll meet your retribution!”

Using her whole body’s spiritual power to fly up on her sword, she shot off like a stream of light, her tracks gone in the flash of an eye.

This time, she wanted to resolve for good any future troubles in this sect. If she only made a fuss on her small peak, she feared the disturbance wouldn’t be big enough.

Only if she brought the disturbance to the Sect Leader would she be able to make an example of him. [T/N: 杀鸡给猴看, lit. to kill the chicken for the monkey to see.]

But the issue was, at present they were only in a verbal confrontation. If the Sect Leader decided to stop them to keep the peace, she was afraid that not only would she not achieve her goal, but she would become a thorn in that old man Qian Sui’s side. When the time comes, if he decided she was a thorn he couldn’t help but pull, she feared her own and Ning Guang’s days would become even harder to bear.

She absolutely could not allow this outcome. At least for these five years, she wanted to let Ning Guang grow up in peace.

Then, what should she do? How could she force Qian Sui into a corner he could never escape?
