read My Disciples Are All Villains - Chapter 1027

The notifications were similar to the ones he received when Yu Zhenghai completed his apprenticeship. Similar to Yu Zhenghai, it would be up to Mingshi Yin if he wanted to stay or leave.

Currently, the merit points he was rewarded from cultivation had become limited. Moreover, his disciples’ cultivation no longer needed much of his supervision as well.

Lu Zhou took out the random card he just received. “Will you give me a Peak Trial Card?”

He had experienced the power of the enhanced Peak Trial Card. It would be great if he could gather three Peak Trial Cards again. He would hold onto them until he had 12 Birth Charts. Right now, he was still far from it. His disciples had the Great Void Seeds so they would advance by leaps and bounds even if their cultivation might seem slow now.

“Use.”

“Ding! Obtained the Supreme Mystic Card. You will have unlimited supreme mystic power for 30 seconds when you use this card. It doesn’t conflict with the original supreme mystic power.”

“It’s not a Peak Trial Card…”

He looked at the golden Supreme Mystic Card that looked like a miniature poker card. “Not bad, but the time is too short.”

Nevertheless, he did not think there was anyone who could withstand his explosive power for 30 seconds.

After he put away the Supreme Mystic Card, he activated the Purple Glazed Ceramic.

…

After an hour, Lu Zhou heard a series of hurried footsteps.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

It was clear whoever it was, was coming to find him.

Although the person was trying to be quiet, he could escape Lu Zhou’s heightened senses.

Lu Zhou turned and looked out of the door. Through the paper window, another figure appeared in front of the door. He raised his right arm and blocked the other party. “Who dares to break into my master’s room?”

The person who stopped the other party turned out to be Yu Zhenghai.

“I… I just need to hide for a while. Hurry up! Please!” The person sounded anxious.

“You’re a cultivator?”

“Please. Just let me hide for a while…”

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The two of them exchanged blows at the door.

After exchanging a few blows, without using much energy, Yu Zhenghai easily gained the upper hand.

The person’s voice trembled. He seemed shocked as he said, “You’re from the golden lotus domain?”

Yu Zhenghai ignored him.

Just as Yu Zhenghai was about to throw him out, Lu Zhou said, “Let him in…”

“Understood.”

Creak!

Yu Zhenghai entered the room with an effeminate young man dressed in a simple robe.

The young man’s body was slender, and his skin was fair.

The young man sat down across from Lu Zhou and poured a cup of water for himself as he said, “We’re the same, we’re the same?”

Lu Zhou studied the young man. A vague idea appeared in his mind. “We’re the same?”

After drinking the cup of water, the young man said, “I’m from the golden lotus domain as well…”

Yu Zhenghai said skeptically, “You’re from the golden lotus domain? Show me your avatar then.”

“I’m not lying to you; I’m really from the golden lotus domain,” the young man said as he raised his hand and manifested his avatar. He was not weak; he had just formed his Thousand Realms Whirling avatar.

How could someone with such a cultivation base be hunted? Even in the black lotus domain, only the Black Tower Council and Great Yuan’s royal court had many Thousand Realms Whirling experts. Most people in this small town were common folks and low-level cultivators. Moreover, Lu Zhou had noticed something strange about his avatar; although it was golden, there was a hint of black.

As though he could read Lu Zhou’s mind, the young man said, “I’ll tell you a secret. When you stay in a place for more than ten years, drinking the local water and eating the local food, over time, you’ll become like the local. It’s the same for avatars…”

Lu Zhou’s eyes lit up. He looked at the young man and asked, “You’re saying avatars can change colors?”

“Yes, the premise is that you have to stay in place long enough and integrate with the locals. The lower your cultivation base, the easier it is for the color to change. However, it’s impossible for you since you’ve formed the Thousand Realms Whirling avatar,” the young man said with a smile, “What? Are you surprised? Do you find it unbelievable?”

The young man continued to say, “I’m about to turn black… but, but, I was still discovered by someone. That’s why I’m being chased. Fortunately, I met my family members here. Let me hide here for a while while I wait for them to leave.”

“Who’s your family? You’re a random person” Yu Zhenghai said disapprovingly.

This young man reminded Lu Zhou of some people on earth. After rising above their station, they tried to wash away their ’embarrassing’ past, afraid of bearing the label of a country bumpkin.

The young drank another cup of water again. “I have no choice…”

“I can save you, but you have to answer my questions honestly.”

“No problem,” the young man said without any hesitation.

“How did you come here?” Lu Zhou asked.

“I was unlucky,” the young man said, “When I was young, I went into a forest and saw a ring of light. I didn’t understand it at that time, and my curiosity was piqued. As soon as I walked into the ring of light, I was transported here…”

“What’s your name?” Lu Zhou asked.

“Zhao San,” the young man replied.

Lu Zhou said, “I’ll give you another chance.”

“Zhao San. My name is really Zhao San.”

“I hate liars the most.” Lu Zhou waved his hand. “Throw him out.”

Yu Zhenghai said, “Understood.”

Just as Yu Zhenghai was about to make a move, the young man waved his hand and lowered his head as he said in an aggrieved tone, “My… My name is… Zhao Hongfu…”

Lu Zhou said, “You’re a girl. Why are you pretending to be a man?”

Yu Zhenghai. “???”

Zhao Hongfu said sheepishly, “Old sir, you saw through my disguise…”

Lu Zhou ignored her and waited for her answer.

Zhao Hongfu said, “It’s very dangerous for girls outside. It’s more convenient to pretend to be a man. I’m doing this to avoid those pursuers.”

“Why are you being hunted?”

“They discovered I’m from the golden lotus domain. This is the truth. I’m not lying this time, senior!” Zhao Hongfu said.

Zhao Hongfu was telling the truth this time. After all, people from the golden lotus domain could not hide from Lu Zhou’s Eye of Truth.

Zhao Hongfu suddenly recalled Yu Zhenghai’s golden energy and asked, “What are you doing here? Aren’t you afraid of being killed?”

Yu Zhenghai said disapprovingly, “Who dares to make a move against my master?”

Zhao Hongfu shook her head and said, “That’s not right… The cultivation bases of the people in the golden lotus realm aren’t that high!”

“You’ve been away for too long,” Yu Zhenghai said.

Zhao Hongfu did not think much and asked, “Are you going back?”

“Yes, but not now,” Lu Zhou said.

Zhao Hongfu hastily said, “I can help you as long as you help me get through this disaster.”

As soon as she finished speaking, figures flashed past outside the inn. There were also a few figures hovering in the sky. The sounds of footsteps rang in the air.

Yu Zhenghai frowned and asked, “Who are you really? Why are so many people chasing you?”

Zhao Hongfu made a shushing noise. She looked to the left and the right before she hid behind the curtains.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

“Open the door! It’s a routine check!”

Lu Zhou signaled Yu Zhenghai to open the door.

Yu Zhenghai opened the door and a few armored guards appeared at the door. Among the armored guards, a handsome man holding a feather fan dressed in a white robe stood out like a sore thumb.

The man looked at Yu Zhenghai and Lu Zhou indifferently and waved his hand. “Search.”

“You want to search my master’s room?” Yu Zhenghai extended his hand.

A powerful golden vitality energy burst out immediately.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Apart from the white-clad man, everyone was sent flying back and crashing into the railings and falling down the stairs.

The white-clad man exclaimed in surprise, “Golden energy?”

Yu Zhenghai was not one who liked twists and turns; he was a direct person. Without wasting words, he attacked. “Get lost.”

The white-clad man frowned as he stood outside the room. He cupped his fists together and said, “I’m Yang Yuchen from the royal court. I hope you won’t stop me from doing my job.”

Yu Zhenghai asked, “Do you not understand human language?”
