My Disciples Are All Villains
1299 Completing the Apprenticeship Again
In fact, Lu Zhou had been observing Si Wuya and the others the entire time. He was surprised at how powerful the Halcyon Divine Bird was, and he was also surprised by Si Wuya's boldness.
"I know you've always been confident. However, your opponent was Qin De. Weren't you afraid that he would kill you?"
Si Wuya naturally did not know Lu Zhou had been watching him so he assumed this was just his master's speculation. He said, "Qin De wants a life-saving card so he definitely won't kill me."
"Aren't you afraid that he might snap? Nothing is absolute, after all."
"Even if he acted out of my expectations, I still have a backup plan." Si Wuya replied. Then, he brought out a figurine. It was not big and seemed to be made from clay; it did not seem to be very well-made.
Lu Zhou recognized the thing immediately. "Puppet?"
Lu Zhou did not expect Si Wuya to keep such a thing.
Si Wuya began to explain, "This is different from the puppets we know. Puppets were usually carved on or embedded in one's body. However, there's no need for that with this puppet. We only need to carry it with us. It's equivalent to having an extra life. Qin De was knowledgeable and definitely knew about puppets. However, he definitely didn't know about this new variation. This puppet has three other uses: one, it could emit a light bright enough to blind people; two, it…"
Lu Zhou interjected and waved his hand, "Alright, that's enough…"
Lu Zhou felt his head ache when he listened to Si Wuya's long speech. 'In the future, I won't care about you anymore since you want to act cool…'
Lu Zhou changed the topic and asked, "Who killed Qin De?"
"The Halcyon Divine Bird. It's Tower Master Lan's mount," Si Wuya replied honestly.
"The Halcyon Divine Bird?"
"It should be a divine beast. It has a very rich Great Void energy. Qin De wasn't its match at all," Si Wuya said.
Si Wuya continued to say, "Based on this, it's obvious that Tower Master Lan has been keeping a close watch on the White Tower Council. I plan to bring everyone back to the Evil Sky Pavilion."
It was uncomfortable to be watched at all times, after all.
Lu Zhou nodded. "I'll leave it to you to decide. How's everyone's cultivation bases coming along?"
Si Wuya smiled and said, "The four elders are improving at an astonishing speed. A month ago, they sprouted their eleventh leaf. Due to the imbalance, fierce beasts are everywhere. Hence, the Evil Sky Pavilion doesn't lack life hearts. I believe it won't be long before they progress again."
"Guardian Meng has also reached the Thousand Realms Whirling stage. However, he's not as talented as the four elders so there's a gap between them."
"Guardian Shen and Guardian Li have activated a Birth Chart each recently. It's a pity their Birth Palaces aren't big so there's a limit to the number of Birth Charts they can activate. In the future, their progress will likely be limited."
"Zhou Jifeng and Pan Zhong are quite talented and have sprouted the eighth leaf."
"Fifth Senior Sister should be attempting to sprout the eleventh leaf. I'm not sure if she has succeeded or not."
"As for Eighth Junior Brother, I sent him to the yellow lotus domain. Before he left, he still had eleven leaves. Based on time, he should've arrived at the yellow lotus domain."
Since they did not have a runic passage at the yellow lotus domain, Zhu Honggong and Zhao Hongfu could only fly there. It would take them at least three to five months before they arrived. Fortunately, Zhao Hongfu went along. She could construct a runic passage there, and their return would be much faster.
Lu Zhou nodded in satisfaction before he asked, "What about you?"
Si Wuya said a little awkwardly, "I'll try to break through to the Thousand Realms Whirling stage within a month…"
Lu Zhou silently studied Si Wuya for a moment before he finally asked, "Old Seventh, are you hiding something from me?"
"?" Si Wuya was startled. He hurriedly fell to one knee and said, "Master, I'm loyal and devoted to you and the Evil Sky Pavilion. I don't dare hide anything from you at all."
Si Wuya had learned from his past mistakes. He knew his master placed a lot of importance on loyalty. Moreover, as the saying went, 'Even a master for a day is like a father for life'. Apart from that, everything Lu Zhou had done was worthy of the respect of everyone from the Evil Sky Pavilion.
"You're still unwilling to tell the truth?" Lu Zhou asked.
Si Wuya was confused. He kowtowed and said, "Master, I have a clear conscience."
"Forget it," Lu Zhou said. After all, he could not say that he found Si Wuya's behavior strange. Since Si Wuya was unwilling to speak, he did not want to force Si Wuya too much as well. Everyone was entitled to their privacy. As long as they did not harm the Evil Sky Pavilion, everyone could do whatever they wanted.
Upon hearing this, Si Wuya solemnly said, "Thank you, master."
Lu Zhou said, "I have a Collective Teleportation Jade Talisman. I need the runic inscriptions for a fixed runic passage to be carved onto the jade talisman. Send the runic inscriptions over later."
"Collective Teleportation Jade Talisman?" Si Wuya's eyes lit up, filled with the urge to study this thing he had never heard of before.
Lu Zhou said, "This thing is very precious. It's like having a portable runic passage. It's made from a special jade that holds a unique energy."
Upon hearing these words, a slightly regretful expression appeared on Si Wuya's face before he said, "I understand. I'll speak to Zhao Hongfu and ask her to prepare the runic inscriptions as soon as she can."
Lu Zhou nodded.
After Lu Zhou cut off the connection, he wiped the sweat off his face before he left the hall. After bidding farewell to Ye Tianxin, he returned to the Sky Martial Academy through a runic passage.
…
In the underground prison in the Sky Martial Academy.
Xiao Yunhe said with a smile, "Don't worry. Si Wuya is very capable. You'll be surprised by the things he's capable of."
Qin Naihe leaned against the wall as he said, "Qin De isn't easy to deal with. He's very good at scheming. He deceived Venerable Master Qin for so many years, and Venerable Master Qin didn't even notice it."
"You're still too young…" Xiao Yunhe said with a sigh, "How long has Venerable Master Qin lived, and how long have you lived? His experience and knowledge are far above yours. Do you really think he's unaware of it?"
Qin Naihe widened his eyes in disbelief. "Y-you mean to say he knew about Qin De?"
Xiao Yunhe glanced at Qin Naihe and nodded. "I think you know this in the depths of your heart as well."
As a Venerable Master, Qin Renyue had lived for nearly 30,000 years. He had suffered losses in the past and had seen the world. He naturally could see through what was hidden. However, why did he allow Qin De to become the first elder of the Qin clan if he was aware of Qin De's deception? Why did he not discipline Qin Moshang if he knew Qin Moshang was unruly, arrogant, and domineering? Why did he let the elders hunt Qin Naihe when Qin Naihe had made great contributions to the Qin clan? The answer could be summed up in three words: they weren't important. To him, none of them were important. What need was there for him to care about the matter if they were not important? When the Qin clan finally hung on a precarious balance, which would affect him as well, when it was important, he had shown up.
Qin Naihe shook his head. "Selfishness has always been inherent in humans…"
Creak!
The door opened and Si Wuya walked in.
Everyone rose to their feet immediately.
"Mr. Seventh, are you okay?"
"I'm fine. Qin De is dead," Si Wuya said.
"What?" Qin Naihe struggled to stand up. As soon as he stood up, he staggered and almost lost his balance.
"Qin De is dead. Venerable Master Qin took his corpse away. Apart from that, Venerable Master Qin told me to give this to you…" Si Wuya said as he brought the mystic life grass out.
"Mystic life grass?" Qin Naihe looked at it. He did not reach out to take it.
"You don't want it?" Si Wuya asked, confused by Qin Naihe's behavior.
"I'm still young and in the spring of life. To think I'll be like this now…"
"Do you want it or not?" Si Wuya asked before tossing the mystic life grass over.
"..."
After catching the mystic life grass, Qin Naihe said, "I'm just sad. I didn't expect I'd need the mystic life grass one day…"
Si Wuya said, "My master said you can visit Venerable Master Qin."
"No need," Qin Naihe said, "From now on, I'm part of the Evil Sky Pavilion. I won't leave!"
Xiao Yunhe laughed heartily upon hearing this. "That's right!"
…
At the same time.
In Yannan's quiet training hall.
Lu Zhou nodded in satisfaction when he saw the scene in the underground prison in the Sky Martial Academy. "At least, you know your place."
Lu Zhou looked outside and thought it was time for him to leave Yannan. Since Ye Zheng's death was related to him, it was weird to stay here.
As soon as Lu Zhou rose to his feet…
"Ding! Your disciple, Zhao Yue, has successfully sprouted her eleventh leaf and comprehended the dagger technique, Acacia. She has met the requirements to complete her apprenticeship."
"Ding! Zhao Yue has met the requirements to complete her apprenticeship. Will you let her complete her apprenticeship?"
