What Do You Mean My Cute Disciples Are Yanderes?

Chapter 600 - Back To Basics

(MC POV)

"So… Having second thoughts?" I asked, looking at Brendan in amusement.

Brendan shook his head, "Not at all, Master. You said these are criminals aren't they? There's no need for me to feel any sympathy for them in that case. Oh, I won't torture them, of course. There's no meaning in making them suffer anyway."

I smiled wryly at his answer, Brendan really does have the mindset of a researcher.

I turned back to look at the group of six prisoners chained up in front of us, three of them men and the other three women.

Brendan would be testing on this group of prisoners first, and if he needed more, he just needed to tell the warden to supply him with them.

There's only six here now but knowing Brendan, he would go through at least fifty or more of them by the end of the day.

"So what are your plans?"

Brendan took out a flask from his storage ring, "Potion of amnesia. One of them will have a complete memory wipe while another one gets a partial memory wipe before drinking the memory restoration potion. The last one will drink it without consuming the amnesia potion as the control. From there, I'll see the results and vary the doses and maybe add more people too."

"Sounds like you have things figured out here. In that case, can I leave this place to you?"

Brendan bowed his head, "I will be honored, Master."

"Do I have to stay here though? I would rather just follow Master Lin around and admire her very, very delectable behind," Feng Jie protested, the Phoenix having been told to follow Brendan to provide him with her blood.

I don't actually think she's needed here but I'm pretty sure my disciples only told her to stay here to get her away from me.

"No, stay here and don't cause trouble," I ordered.

She pouted at me, "Oh fine, but only because I can't resist the allure of your beautiful voice~ Brendan, I hope you don't mind me taking up that corner and getting myself off to imagining Master Lin pounding me, do you? Eh, even if you do mind, it's not like I would stop anyway~"

Seriously, are you sure this woman isn't a succubus in disguise?

I turned around to walk out of the dungeons before she could change her mind, leaving Brendan alone with his experiment 'volunteers'.

Tsuki was waiting outside, twiddling her fingers nervously until she saw me emerge from the dungeons.

"Aniue!" She called out, running up to me.

"I can already tell you're quite nervous huh?" I chuckled, patting her head.

She puffed her cheeks, "It is my first actual lesson with Aniue after all! Of course I'm a little nervous…"

Well, considering how she came all the way here to look for me instead of waiting with my other disciples, it was also obvious how much she was looking forward to it.

Both of us started walking, Tsuki keeping pace with me easily.

"So what are you worried about? I'm pretty sure I've at least taught you things in the other world, right?" I asked.

Tsuki hesitated for a moment before turning to me, "What if I'm not good enough, Aniue? What if I can't make the liquified Origin you need to regain your memories?"

I raised an eyebrow at her, "I don't remember saying that I was especially desperate to get those memories back though? You know I'm fine with just continuing my life without them, right?"

Tsuki's eyes widened, "But… Aren't they Anuie's precious memories?"

"To me, what I have now will always be what I prioritise over something I may or may not have had in the past. I'm not someone who can't let go of his past and let it affect their future, you know?"

"Unn… But I would still rather Aniue remember our past together. I owe Aniue so much… It doesn't sit right with me that only I remember Aniue's sacrifices and deeds in the other world..."

I shrugged, "I don't really think that it would affect us much even if I remember anyway. But well, let's just see how it goes ok? There's no rush in completing this potion anyway, we have all the time in the world so don't worry."

"Unnn… Aniue is Aniue after all…" She giggled, suddenly clinging on to my arm and acting spoiled.

With Tsuki clinging on my arm, we made our way towards the courtyard that Luna had given us to use for the remainder of the day.

The rest of my disciples were all gathered there, each of them engaged in their own practice sessions as I had instructed.

Lian Li, Manami, Cai Hong and Kiyomi were seated in a circle and meditating. A dim light enveloped their bodies showing they were absolutely absorbed within their cultivation.

Diao Chan was in a corner of the courtyard weaving her Spells, sometimes a few flashes of light would appear from her corner while she continuously casted her Spells.

Eris stood nearby, swinging her sword in a graceful and deadly dance as she sparred against numerous invisible enemies, honing her blade with a serious expression on her face.

Elaria had taken up one of the pavilions and had multiple chess boards of different designs laid out in front of her, playing all of them against herself at the same time.

In another pavilion within the courtyard, Luna was casually sipping away at a cup of tea with Rina serving her, the Matriarch watching my disciples with great interest.

Luna stood up and waved at me the moment she saw me, "Husband! You are back! The dungeons weren't scary, were they? I knew I should have told them to light up the entire place and have a hundred guards at every corner to protect husband! Perhaps I should have just made another place to house those useless low-lifes, somewhere not as dark and scary? Would husband want that? If husband was scared, you can always come into my embrace you know? I will always make sure to protect husband! So how about coming here and resting on my lap, husband?"

"Thanks but not now, Luna."

"Oh? What a pity. No matter, I'll be here if you need me husband~"

I turned back to Tsuki, "Alright then, I suppose we shall start with the basics of the basics today. What do you know about Elemental Quarks?"

Tsuki scratched her cheek, "Umm… Nothing…"

"Hmm… Then what about Cultivation Points?"

"Umm… Also nothing…"

"Quark Veins?"

"Nope…"

"What about the cultivation process of improving your own control over your Elemental Quarks?"

Once again, Tsuki shook her head.

Looks like I really have to start teaching her from the most basic of basics.

I'll probably be taking over what the Minor Sects would teach her if she had joined them instead of coming here.

This might take a while then.

I cracked my knuckles, it's nothing I've never done before, Lian Li had also started from square one so let's get to work on my little sister this time.

Since she's related to me in the other world, there shouldn't be any problems with teaching her anyway.
