My Disciples Are All Villains

There were lofty mountains, lush forests, and bamboo here. There was also a fresh breeze gently blowing. It was indeed an excellent place to cultivate.

Chen Fu looked at Yan Mu and pointed at the stone bench and gently said, "Guests are guests. Please sit."

Chen Fu's movements were smooth like they were one with nature; there was no sense of dissonance at all.

Yan Mu almost fainted. With excitement and joy, he carefully climbed up the stairs, walked into the pavilion, and took a seat on the stone bench.

Chen Fu sighed lightly before he said, "After so many years, you're the first person to have broken the rules so flagrantly."

Lu Zhou said as he raised an eyebrow, "Didn't you use to break rules as well?"

Chen Fu smiled and said, "Of course, I did."

"Then, it's not strange for me to do so as well," Lu Zhou said.

Chen Fu picked up a chess piece as he sized Lu Zhou up. Then, he asked, "Are you from the Great Void?"

"No."

"Then, you're really bold," Chen Fu said. In his opinion, only those from the Great Void would dare to speak to him in such a manner. No one apart from those from the Great Void would have the guts to do so.

"Aren't you curious?" Lu Zhou asked.

"It's not important," Chen Fu replied.

Yan Mu worshipped Chen Fu even more at this moment when he saw Chen Fu's magnanimity and knowledge. Although someone had trespassed into Chen Fu's mountain and spoke to him with an attitude, Chen Fu was not angry at all. Not only that, but Chen Fu still remained gentle and kind. Chen Fu spoke like a kind old man. On the contrary, each of the words that came out of Lu Zhou's mouth was filled with thorns and mockery.

Lu Zhou nodded and said, "It was not easy to find you."

Thud!

Chen Fu placed the chess piece in his hand on the chessboard. The sound was crisp and clear. The waterfall stopped flowing immediately as silence descended on the pavilion.

Yan Mu was petrified by this shocking move.

Chen Fu smiled kindly as he pointed at the chessboard and said, "Which side do you think will win? Black or white?"

Lu Zhou took a look before he asked, "What do you mean?"

"The heaven and earth are like chessboards, and all living beings are like chess pieces. Who holds the chess pieces then?" Chen Fu asked.

Lu Zhou was slightly surprised. He said, "You're a Saint. If even you don't know, how would others know?"

When Chen Fu picked up a black chess piece, the waterfall started falling again. With another thud, he placed the chess piece down. Then, he asked, "Have you been to the Great Void?"

Lu Zhou shook his head.

Chen Fu stood up and did not continue playing chess. He put his hands on his back and walked to the side of the pavilion. He looked at the 10,000-meters-tall waterfall and said meaningfully, "The world is in chaos. All living things are suffering…"

Lu Zhou rose to his feet as well and moved to stand next to Chen Fu. He looked at the waterfall as well as he said, "If all living things are chess pieces

came to the side of the pavilion. He looked at the ten-thousand-meter waterfall and said meaningfully, "The world is heating up. Time and all living things are suffering."

Lu Zhou also stood up and came to Chen Fu's side. He also looked at the waterfall and said, "If all living things are chess pieces, then you can refuse to be a chess piece."

"It's easier said than done."

"Haven't you already done it?" Lu Zhou asked.

Upon hearing this, Chen Fu looked at Lu Zhou from the corners of his eyes and laughed. "You're just a Great Venerable Master. Your understanding isn't deep enough."

"Not necessarily," Lu Zhou said.

"Oh?"

"Cultivation and vision are two different things," Lu Zhou said.

Chen Fu smiled and asked jokingly, "Then do you know how vast the sky and the earth are?"

"The sky has nine places, the Earth has nine regions, the sky has three Chen, and the Earth has three forms. The surface of the universe is infinite, and the end of the universe is infinite."(Lingxian)

Yan Mu and Hua Yin looked at Lu Zhou who spoke with brimming confidence.

Chen Fu asked again, "Infinite?"

Lu Zhou remained silent. Based on his knowledge, with the ability of humans, they could not explore the edge of the universe. This was the same even in the cultivation world.

Chen Fu nodded. "That's a unique insight. In that case, the Great Void is also one of the chess pieces."

Lu Zhou shook his head and said, "Perhaps, there's no one in this world who holds the chess pieces."

Chen Fu was slightly stunned. He turned around to look at Lu Zhou. After a moment, he finally asked, "Tell me, why did you come looking for me?"

Lu Zhou replied, "I heard that Great Saint Chen has mastered the art of resurrection?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Fu's expression turned a little strange. Then, he ignored Lu Zhou and turned to Hua Yin before he said, "Hua Yin, send the guest away."

"Understood."

Hua Yin entered the pavilion and gestured with his hand, "Please."

Lu Zhou shook his head and said, "I expended a lot of effort looking for you. How can you put on airs like that?"

Yan Mu: "..."

Hua Yin: "..."

The atmosphere became tense immediately.

No one in this world dared to speak to the Saint in such a manner. Even the six Venerable Masters of Great Han had to put their dignity aside when they saw Chen Fu. Although the person in front of them was a Great Venerable Master, saying such words was no different from courting death.

Chen Fu was neither happy nor angry. No one knew what he was thinking.

Lu Zhou continued to say, "Everyone respects you because of your status as a Great Saint. If one day, you're no longer a Great Saint, how do you think they'll treat you?"

Needless to say, if that happened, people would rush to trample Chen Fu under their feet.

There were many cultivators at the foot of Autumn Dew Mountain waiting to see Chen Fu. Some of them were denied entry and would come again and again, bearing gifts. Outwardly, they were filled with reverence and admiration, but inwardly, they had many complaints.

This was how humans were like since ancient times.

Chen Fu replied, "I still have my ten great disciples."

Lu Zhou chuckled. In regard to disciples, no one was more qualified to speak than him. He said, "I have ten great disciples as well. They're all outstanding and famous. However, I was betrayed in the end as well."

Upon hearing these words, Hua Yin's expression turned slightly unnatural. He hurriedly fell on one knee and said, "I'm loyal to master. The sun and the moon can be my witness."

Lu Zhou turned around and glanced at Hua Yin before he said, "You just revealed what you intend to hide."

Hua Yin: "..."

Chen Fu laughed. It sounded bright and gentle. He asked, "Have you ever reflected on yourself?"

"Does it matter if I have or haven't? Can you guarantee without a doubt that he won't betray you in the future?" Lu Zhou asked as he stared at Chen Fu with a burning gaze.

This conversation made Hua Yin nervous.

Yan Mu's heart had been pounding in his chest for a long time now. He felt as though he was sitting on pins and needles and that he was going wet himself.

Chen Fu frowned. "Aren't you afraid of me?"

Lu Zhou looked at the waterfall with an indifferent expression and said confidently, "It's unlikely that there's anyone who's a match for me in the nine domains."

Yan Mu and Hua Yin: "..."

'His bragging is too much!'

Even Chen Fu laughed when he heard Lu Zhou's words. He said, "For many years, everyone who saw me was nervous and afraid. As time passed, I feel like everyone is wearing masks around him. They don't dare to reveal their true thoughts; they don't dare to tell the truth, and they don't dare to disobey me."

Beads of sweat appeared on Hua Yin's face.

Chen Fu continued to say, "You're a Great Venerable Master. How about we spar? If I'm in a good mood, I'll tell you the method of resurrection. What do you think?"

Lu Zhou looked at Chen Fu, trying to guess Chen Fu's intention.

Chen Fu said, "Don't worry. It's just that an interesting person appeared when I was bored. I haven't felt so excited in a long time."

Lu Zhou nodded. "Alright."

Chen Fu vanished into thin air. In just a blink of an eye, he appeared above the waterfall.

Hua Yin and Yan Mu looked at Lu Zhou and Chen Fu with widened eyes.

'A Great Venerable Master agreed to spar with a Saint? Isn't he overestimating himself? Is he fearless or ignorant? Is he looking for trouble?'

Yan Mu was still in shock when Lu Zhou flashed and appeared above the waterfall as well, standing across from Chen Fu.

"Please."
