My Disciples Are All Villains - Chapter 1626

“Yes, yes, yes…” The attendant kneeled and became much more respectful. Then, he returned to brewing tea and pouring tea. His movements were still very stiff like he was unfamiliar with his actions.

Lu Zhou continued to say, “Shang Zhang’s actions are indeed despicable, but don’t be blinded by hatred.”

Little Yuan’er said, “It’s not hatred. I just thought he was better than this. Usually, he’s quite amiable, but I didn’t expect that he… Master’s right. Human heart is the hardest to predict.”

At this moment, Conch said, “I’ve long figured it out. I’ve been thinking about it for the past 100 years. If I really hated him, I wouldn’t have stayed in Shang Zhang.”

Indeed, 100 years were not something most people could endure.

Lu Zhou said, “When I took you in, you were still young, and your clothes were shabby. You didn’t even have a pair of shoes. You can be considered lucky to have survived this cruel world.”

Conch kneeled down and kowtowed. “If it weren’t for master, I would’ve died long ago.”

Little Yuan’er giggled and said, “I heard that Junior Sister Conch was almost tied up and burned to death. Fortunately, master arrived in time.”

The attendant could not help but cough twice.

Little Yuan’er looked at the attendant with a speechless expression. Then, she pointed to a corner and said, “Can you please step back and not stand in front of my master? Do you think you’re a pillar?”

“Uh, yes, yes, yes,” the attendant said before respectfully stepping aside.

Then, Little Yuan’er continued to grumble. “Master, you don’t know this, but I thought about you every day when I was in Shang Zhang Hall.”

Lu Zhou said unhappily, “Little girl, when did you also learn to flatter people?”

“Master, it’s true!” Little Yuan’er muttered, “I’m not little anymore. I had to pretend to be obedient when I faced that scoundrel Shang Zhang every day. It was very hard.”

The attendant coughed again.

Little Yuan’er felt that she really could not speak without being interrupted. His cough had broken her rhythm. She immediately pointed outside and said, “So annoying! Leave.”

The attendant nodded and stammered, “S-sorry, sorry…”

Then, he walked out of the hall reluctantly, glancing back from time to time.

Bang!

Little Yuan’er waved her hand, and the door slammed shut. She then turned to Lu Zhou and said, “Master, we have to be careful of Emperor Xuanyi. The attendant looks honest, but he might be a spy sent by Emperor Xuanyi. He doesn’t even know how to serve tea or pour tea. He’s clearly a newbie. How annoying.”

“Hm?” Lu Zhou was aware of the attendant’s strange behavior so he was not surprised. However, he was pleasantly surprised that Little Yuan’er was so observant. It seemed like the girl had grown up. He looked at the door and nodded slightly before he said with a slight smile, “Don’t be rude.”

“I understand.”

“During the 100 years you spent in Shang Zhang Hall, did you slack off on your cultivation improve?” Lu Zhou asked.

Little Yuan’er said proudly, “Of course not! I’ve become a Dao Saint for a long time now. If it weren’t for that old geezer, Shang Zhang, running to our training hall every day, I would’ve long become a Great Dao Saint.”

“…”

Conch said, “I can’t compare with Ninth Senior Sister, but I should be able to become a Dao Saint soon.”

Lu Zhou nodded and said, “It’s not easy to become a Dao Saint.”

Then, Lu Zhou suddenly looked outside and waved his sleeve, causing a ripple.

The two girls looked at their master in confusion, not knowing what he was doing.

“Did you contact the others?” Lu Zhou asked.

Little Yuan’er lowered her head and said, “Master, I don’t want to hide anything from you…”

“Speak.”

“I’m working on a big plan,” Little Yuan’er said.

“Big plan?”

“Fourth Senior Brother and Third Senior Brother came to Shang Zhang Hall. At that time, they said that if we met you, we should act like we don’t know you. However, they didn’t tell us the reason.”

“Old Fourth?”

Little Yuan’er blinked and looked around cautiously before she said in a hushed voice, “Master, I made a big discovery…” She paused before she said, “That Qi Sheng from Tu Wei Hall… I think he might be Seventh Senior Brother!”

Lu Zhou frowned slightly. This was not the first time he had heard of Qi Sheng. The four elders had mentioned him, his fourth disciples had mentioned him, and now, Little Yuan’er also mentioned him. All signs seemed to show that Qi Sheng was his seventh disciple, Si Wuya. However, he had personally confirmed Si Wuya’s death, and Yu Zhenghai had also sunk Si Wuya’s body into the sea. How could Si Wuya suddenly come back to life? At that time, the Resurrection Scroll did not have any effect on Si Wuya, unlike the way it did on the Qin Yuan’s daughter. At that time, his comprehension of the Resurrection Scroll was clearly not enough to bring Si Wuya back to life.

Even if Si Wuya did not die, after being sunk into the Endless Ocean, it would have been impossible for him to survive.

Little Yuan’er said conspiratorially, “I feel that he’s Seventh Senior Brother! His style is too similar to Seventh Senior Brother.”

“Is that so?”

“Master, don’t doubt me. He wants us to become the commanders of the halls.” Little Yuan’er stroked her chin and began to analyze the matter. “There are many Dao Saints in the Great Void, and everyone wants to fight for the position. However, he insisted that we fight for it.”

Lu Zhou did not comment on it. Instead, he asked, “How are the others?”

Little Yuan’er replied, “Eldest Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother are obsessed with cultivation so they should be fine. Third and Fourth Senior Brothers are in the Flaming Sea so we didn’t see them often. It was even less likely for us to see Fifth and Sixth Senior Sisters. The only person we see more often is Eighth Senior Brother. He’s now the Commander of the Sacred Temple. He’s running around all day. I don’t really know what he’s up to.”
