My Disciples Are All Villains

chapter-781
Li Yunzheng looked at his kneeling guard. He sighed and shook his head. “With his cultivation base, if he wanted to harm me, he would’ve done so long ago. There’s no need for him to wait at all...”
The guard bit back the intense pain from his internal organs and said, “I was anxious...”
Li Yunzheng raised his hand and cut him short. He stood up straight and looked up at the bright moon. He placed his hands on his back and cleared his mind of unhappy emotions. He smiled. “Get up, Ye Xiao.”
The guard, Ye Xiao, stood up. “I saw Your Majesty in the harem with the pure gold hairpin. Something as precious as that...”
Li Yunzheng looked at the moon and said, “It’s a fake.”“...”
“My instincts have always been accurate. I’ll surely meet that old mister again.”
Ye Xiao was stunned.
Li Yunzheng maintained his smile. “Tell me, can I do as the old mister said?”
Ye Xiao scratched his head, clearly confused.
Li Yunzheng waved his hand. “I’m tired. You should return. Also, don’t let anyone near Ganlu Hall.”
Ye Xiao bowed. “Understood.”...
Lu Zhou returned using the path from which he came to reduce the possibilities of running into conflicts. Shortly after, he was above the walls of the royal palace. He bent forward and looked at the Daoist veins on the city walls curiously.
The detailed and precise control over the Formation, its engravings, and the maintenance of Primal Qi absorption were far greater than the golden lotus domain.
Lu Zhou no longer wasted time and leaped off the city walls. Then, he got on Whitzard’s back and left.
Everything went exceptionally smooth. ‘Is this fate?’
...
Inside the Saint Hall in the Sky Martial Court.
Elder Mo Buyan strolled in and looked at the sandalwood censer in the middle of the hall.
A person sat cross-legged in the hall. He was the only Ten-leaf karmic fire cultivator in the world, Yu Chenshu. His face was expressionless, and he had a dignified and stern air about him.
“Court Master, we’ve made a discovery,” Mo Buyan said.
Yu Chenshu opened his eyes. “Let’s hear it.”
“Li Yunzheng met an old man. According to the palace, the emperor’s emotions are unstable at the moment. He was slightly opposed to this so we didn’t stop him,” Mo Buyan said.
Yu Chenshu nodded and said, “When the former emperor was still in power, he often praised Li Yunzheng. That child has the potential to achieve great things. However, he dislikes cultivation. Do we know anything about the person he met”
“That old man had the erudite air of an immortal and an unfathomable cultivation base. The palace allowed His Majesty to have his way... However, this old man is no ordinary man. He could always sense incoming cultivators. Court Master, do you think we should investigate him?” Mo Buyan asked.
“The Sky Martial Court should continue to focus on the golden lotus domain. Let the palace deal with their men. How’s the monarch supposed to govern the land if his mind is unstable?” Chen Yushu said.
“Do we notify Flying Star House about this?” Mo Buyan asked.
“No need.” Yu Chenshu shook his head. “Perhaps, the Flying Star House is already aware of this.”
...
Dawn was breaking when Lu Zhou returned to his courtyard in the Thousand Willow Monastery. He patted Whitzard and said, “Go get some rest. Don’t stray too far.”
Whitzard let out a cry and disappeared into the forest at the back of the mountain.
Lu Zhou entered the room and brought the brocade box out. Then, he looked at the treasure chest on the table.
He waved his arm, opening the brocade box.
Lu Zhou looked at the pure gold hairpin before bringing it out. Then, he did not hesitate as he inserted it into the keyhole on the treasure chest.
Bzzzt!
The sound of vibration when the golden hairpin was inserted into the keyhole was rather unique.
He pushed it all the way in and turned slightly.
Click!
Four winding slits spread out from the keyhole along the treasure chest’s surface until the treasure chest eventually fell open.
Clang!
“Ding! You’ve opened the treasure chest. Obtained: Ji Tiandao’s Peak Trial Card x1, Reversal Card x50, Thunderblast x10, Water Dragon Song, Pilgrim Song, Refining Talisman x3, Open Heavenly Writing scroll.”
“Water Dragon Song. You’ll have a certain chance of obtaining a new blade technique.”
“Pilgrim Song: A perfect tune.”
When he heard these notifications, Lu Zhou nodded in satisfaction. ‘This is great! Is this sudden increase in luck associated with the red color of the red lotus domain?’
In theory, Ji Tiandao’s peak was weaker than Lu Zhou’s current state. However, the main function of this card was not to raise his cultivation base; it was the endless supply of Primal Qi it provided. This was the item card with the highest value that he obtained from the treasure chest.
“Water Dragon Song?”
It was always good to have more skills. Lu Zhou decided to use it.
Water Dragon Song dissolved into specks of starlight and descended on Lu Zhou. He had no idea if he managed to grasp the new technique. This was how he felt with Calm Disturbance as well.
‘Perhaps, it has a trigger. As for Pilgrim Song, I don’t think it’ll be of much use to me. I’ll give it to Conch.’
Lu Zhou focused on the Open Heavenly Writing scroll. It had been a long time since he obtained an item like this. He did not expect this when he opened the treasure chest. Currently, he had gained five Heavenly Writing powers. He wondered if this Open Heavenly Writing scroll would grant him a new power or prolonged his life.
Lu Zhou used the Open Heavenly Writing scroll, eager. The firefly-like radiance circled around him before disappearing.
He waved his hand.
The treasure chest disappeared and returned to the system dashboard.
Then, Lu Zhou entered his meditative state.
...
Lu Zhou returned early in the morning, therefore, even when the sun was at its highest, he was still immersed in his meditation.
At this moment, Xia Changqiu arrived at the courtyard and called out tentatively, “Senior Lu?” He was not sure if Lu Zhou had returned from his trip last night. As expected, there was no reply.
Little Yuan’er who was flying past the courtyard at this moment asked, “Monastery Master Xia, are you looking for my master?”
“Uh... yes.” Xia Changqiu nodded.
“This is how my master is. Sometimes, he’ll just ignore everyone,” Little Yuan’er said.
“Thank you for telling me that.” Little Yuan’er joined her palms together in a pleading manner and asked with an apologetic expression on her face, “Monastery Master Xia, can I make a request?”
“What is it?”
“May I train in the Fair Hall?” Little Yuan’er blinked her huge eyes.
“Of course, you can. Teach those disciples a lesson while you’re at it, will you?”
Xia Changqiu wanted nothing more than an elite to give his disciples some pointers.
“Thank you. Don’t worry, I often restrain my strength when hitting the others...” Little Yuan’er flew toward the Fair Hall on her Nirvana Sash.
Xia Changqiu was slightly taken aback. ‘Her words sound strange. Hitting others?’
At this moment, Lu Zhou opened his door and emerged with his hands on his back. He looked up at the sun and asked, “What is it?”
“Senior Lu, you’ve returned! The Flying Star House’s Ye Zhen has sent a letter.” Xia Changqiu produced the letter from his sleeve and presented it to Lu Zhou with both hands.
“Read it,” Lu Zhou said.
Xia Changqiu unfolded the letter and read, “To Old Mister Lu. Since we parted, I regret...” Inwardly, he was puzzled. ‘Since we parted?’ He did not dwell on it and continued to read, “I wonder if you’re satisfied with the gift from the palace?”
