I Just want a Peaceful life

Chapter 767  Foolish Disciple

"You are mine now." said Ivis in an enchanting voice.

Hearing Ivis' arrogant speech, the angry Angus slowly reigns himself and calms his mind. In a split second, he [Analyze] the whole situation carefully.

Seeing Angus' reaction, "Why? Cat got your tongue? Don't waste energy, your body is already mine." said Ivis.

"It is really 80% similar. Be it the breath, pattern, or even habit. All of it was similar besides the signature. Fade…" muttered Angus.

"H-Huh?! How did you know that na..." said Ivis.

Before Ivis finished her sentence, "[Reverse Domain - Crystal Palace.]" said Angus.

Suddenly, the whole domain trembled and disappeared without any trace. All the naked beautiful women and Angus' abnormal condition are also gone. Angus and Ivis are back at the quiet library with rows of wooden shelves.

There is not even a slight disturbance in the library. Even the elf librarian in the distance didn't notice Angus and Ivis' short confrontation. Angus uses more potent barriers and camouflage spells chantlessly to be safe.

'Huft… Luckily, no one noticed us. Otherwise, my plan to rob this place is gone. Now, what should I do with her?' said Angus while glancing coldly at the kneeling Ivis.

"Fade… No, should I call you Ivis now." called Angus.

"M-Master…" replied Ivis while trembling nervously.

"Alright, stand up first." said Angus.

"N-No… I can't!! I.. I try to hurt Master." said Ivis with a trembling voice.

*Drip* *Drip* *Drip* Angus notices the crying tears coming from the bowing Ivis. He didn't know if it was tears of joy or fear.

"*Sigh* Troublesome… Ivis, is this how seventh grade should act?!!" rebuked Angus sternly.

"I don't care!! I am hurting Master!" replied Ivis stubbornly while still crying in the mess.

After a few minutes of pacifying Ivis, the charming woman finally stood up from kneeling but still lowered her head. Then, Ivis started to talk and explain her current situation.

"So, you say you arrive at this world using a powerful ancient art and earth chi? And it was around a hundred years ago." summarized Angus.

Ivis or Fade is Angus' only disciple in his previous life. During his last life, he took a disciple to truly become the grandmaster of martial arts. Angus' talent and combat prowess as a martial artist is indisputable.

However, one needs to teach a student to become a real grandmaster. Only by being able to teach others perfectly can someone become a master. This is not just a nonsense culture, tradition, or simple superiority title.

When someone is trying to teach others, they need not only to master the subject but also everything related to it. In some sense, someone cannot truly master one subject if they can't teach or explain it to others. The source of this ᴄontent is ɴovel(F)ɪre

Since Angus is obsessed with pursuing the highest pinnacle of martial arts, he also decides to teach a student. Through many ups and downs, he finally takes Ivis as his only disciple in his previous life.

Despite having a disciple and teacher relationship, their relationship is quite estranged. In fact, Angus never truly cared about her since he had no expectations for her.

If he judges someone else with his high standard, he will find everything the other party did wrong and not worthy of praise. In the end, he never imposed any expectation on Ivis for the safety of their mind, nor did he praise her except for a few superficial ones.

As a result of this situation, Ivis finds Angus as a benevolent yet also strict teacher. Unfortunately, this is a one-sided feeling. Since Angus has no expectations for Ivis, it is hard for him to get close to Ivis. For him, they just have a superficial relationship as teachers and students.

Therefore, Angus didn't expect this disciple to try so hard to follow him into this world. Moreover, there is also an incident like his last battle in his past life.

"Yes, Master. I… I am glad. I finally met the Master again." said Ivis excitedly.

There is no longer any trace of the majestic seventh grade like before. Ivis became very meek under Angus' intense glare. If other people see such a scene, they will go wild. Mistress Ivis is famous for being a prideful woman and a terrifying leader.

"So, Ivis… Why did you betray me?" asked Angus coldly while leaning on his chair.

"Eh… I… I…" replied Ivis nervously.

"A poison that could completely stop my chi. Previously, I didn't know about poison and stuff like this to know how it is made. Stopping chi itself is already a miraculous action. Yet, it can still completely stop my dense chi like it is nothing."

"However, I met with a lot of poisonous beings and have been doing a lot of research about it recently."

"And look what I found… To completely stop my previous dense chi, you need to know my chi properties in detail and ingest some poison periodically before being able to stop the chi circulation."

"In other words, it is to 'condition' my body to be susceptible to poison. When it came to this, I began to suspect a few people around me. At first, I thought it would be my foolish brother. But, we rarely meet before that day which makes me suspect other people."

"One of these people is you. The one that makes me an herbal drink every morning without missing a single day." said Angus coldly.

"M-Master… I could explain this." said Ivis in a hurry.

"Enough!! No more excuses!! I am already letting go of my past life. I don't care what reason you dare to harm me or why you even follow me here."

"However, one thing for certain. If you tried to cross with me in this world, I will make sure you feel pain for eternity." said Angus coldly before walking away slowly.

"Wait Master… Please. I could explain everything." said Ivis in panic.

"And why should I hear and trust your explanation?!! Did you think I didn't notice the trace of many vicious forbidden art in your body?!" said Angus with hostility.

"T-This…" said Ivis while slowly crying.

"As I said before, I didn't hold any grudge against you for what you did in the past. However, it is a different case for those forbidden art. Just noticing the trace of many [Soul Replacement] in your body already makes me sick." said Angus coldly.

"You see, Ivis. I never had any sort of expectation from you. However, you are now truly disappointing me. What a waste!!" added Angus.

Hearing this remark, Ivis once again sobs with tears. Noticing it is a genuine tear and sad emotion, Angus frowns slightly before sighing deeply.

"What a mess… Guess I will hear your explanation first. But don't think it will change everything." said Angus.

"I… My lifespan and vitality are degraded. I had no choice but to use [Soul Replacement] technique. I know this is a vicious forbidden art that Master hates, but… I.. I don't want to die before I meet Master!!" said Ivis with difficulty.

"Lifespan? Vitality? I see… You over-cultivate your chi before reaching seventh grade. *Sigh* What a mess…" said Angus before massaging his head.

Angus finally realizes his stupid disciple is involved in many messes because of him. As for the reason for betraying him in his past life, he could guess it.

Despite not being close with his disciple, he knows Ivis is obsessed with him to the point of wanting to die together. Angus will not be surprised if Ivis makes a drastic move, like poisoning him because of her unhealthy obsession.

All she needs is just a little enticement to completely betray him. Still, he couldn't just forgive her for using [Soul Replacement]. It is a very vicious forbidden art that involves the soul.

In short, this technique is a complex ritual to permanently possess a new body with the caster's soul. However, it has stringent requirements. The victim or new body vessel must not be an adult and the same gender as the caster.

Moreover, the victim must also be in a state of mind down or complete insanity. To achieve this state, the victim will be tortured until their mind is completely gone and they can't think of anything. Because of this vicious requirement, Angus hates all the users of this forbidden art.

For Angus, there is no difference between Forbidden Art and ordinary martial art. However, it is a different case regarding vicious techniques like this. Torturing a child to the point of insanity just to extend one life is just wrong in so many ways.

Even the most murderous killer will not be okay with such an action. There is a huge difference between torturing an adult person and harming an innocent kid to the point of insanity.

After contemplating for a moment, Angus approached the crying Ivis silently before poking her head with his finger. Suddenly, Ivis feels a sharp jolt all over her body. She feels all her discomfort and hidden danger from doing all the forbidden arts is suddenly gone.

"This is the last time. After this, we will no longer have any relation. Take care of yourself, my foolish disciple." said Angus before walking out of the row of shelves.

"M-Master.. Thank you!!" said Ivis while bowing and crying.
