My Disciples Are All Villains

After Guan Jiu took Zhu Honggong away, Ming Xin asked, "Hua Zhenghong, I asked you to visit Shang Zhang. What was the result?"

Hua Zhenghong replied, "I visited Emperor Shang Zhang the day before yesterday and asked to meet the two owners of the Great Void Seeds. They are two girls are rather young. One of them has the highest talent I've ever seen."

Ming Xin nodded. "Continue."

"Based on their words and actions, they're smart but naive. In my opinion, it won't be difficult to make them submit to the Great Void. I've asked around about the other owners of the seeds, and all of them are much more difficult to deal with compared to the two girls."

After all, the younger they were, the easier it would be to indoctrinate them.

Since ancient times, human traffickers preferred to abduct and sell young children. There was a reason for that.

Ming Xin asked tonelessly, "What do you think about the person Qi Sheng brought back?"

Hua Zhenghong shook her head. "His thoughts are transparent, and his words and actions are rather silly…"

Ming Xin asked, "Even you think he's not worthy?"

"I dare not," Hua Zhenghong said with a slight bow.

After all, Zhu Honggong was brought back by Qi Sheng. In the future, Qi Sheng would be taught and tamed to become one of Ming Xin's hands.

Hua Zhenghong added, "It's not bad to be a little silly. Hall Commander Qi Sheng also possesses the Great Void Seed. Compared to that person…"

Hua Zhenghong could not finish her words.

"Speak freely," Ming Xin said.

"I always feel that it's hard to see through Commander Qi Sheng's thoughts. He's too cunning, and people like him are the hardest to control."

No matter which emperor it was, they all liked their subordinate to be obedient. Hence, Hua Zhenghong thought Ming Xin should be the same. For 100,000 years at least, those in the Great Void who were disobedient ended up in a miserable state.

Ming Xin said, "You don't need to care about his matters. Just mind your own business from now on."

Hua Zhenghong was inwardly surprised. She did not expect Ming Xin to be so partial toward Qi Sheng. After all, Qi Sheng had only joined the Great Void about 30 years ago. How did Qi Sheng bewitch Ming Xi?

Outwardly, Hua Zhenghong bowed and said, "Understood."

"I'm going to visit Shang Zhang. I'll leave this place to you," Ming Xin said.

"Farewell, Your Majesty."

With that, Ming Xin vanished from sight.

…

Shang Zhang Hall.

It was a place filled with treasure and outstanding talents. It was also the most beautiful place in the west of the Great Void.

When Ming Xin appeared in front of the main hall, he called out softly, "Shang Zhang."

As expected, Shang Zhang appeared in front of the main hall in just a blink of an eye. He smiled faintly. "Great Emperor Ming Xin?"

Ming Xin glanced at Shang Zhang before he raised his head to look at the majestic and towering Shang Zhang Hall before he said, "500 years passed in just a blink of an eye. I came to see you today."

"Came to see me?" Shang Zhang smiled knowingly. "I'm afraid that's not the reason for your visit, right?"

How could Ming Xin visit for such a reason? Shang Zhang knew Ming Xin very well, after all.

Ming Xin did not beat around the bush. He said bluntly, "I want to see them."

Shang Zhang was not a fool. He understood Ming Xin's intention as soon as he heard those words. He waved his hand and said with a smile, "I'm afraid that's not possible."

Ming Xin frowned slightly.

Shang Zhang said, "The Great Void already has two Great Void Seeds. Whether it's the Sacred Temple or Shang Zhang Hall, it doesn't matter who has them, right?"

"You're overthinking," Ming Xin said expressionlessly.

"..."

"If I want to take the Great Void Seeds, who dares to stop me?" Ming Xin said confidently.

Indeed, it was the truth.

Moreover, Ming Xi was the one who promoted Qi Sheng in Tu Wei Hall. If Ming Xi wanted the Great Void Seeds, he could have just asked Qi Sheng to bring the owners of the Great Void Seeds to him. If Ming Xin had spoken, Qi Sheng would not have helped Shang Zhang.

After a moment, Shang Zhang asked, puzzled, "What are Qi Sheng's intentions in doing all those things?"

Ming Xin did not reply.

Shang Zhang did not push for an answer. Instead, he moved to the side and made an inviting gesture. "Please."

It did not take long before Ming Xin saw Little Yuan'er and Conch. They were held in a quiet and remote place with a powerful formation.

Shang Zhang said, "Pay your respect to the Temple Master?"

Little Yuan'er glanced at Ming Xin and asked, "Who's the Temple Master?"

"Don't be rude," Shang Zhang said.

"You're really unreasonable. Just because I don't know who's the Temple Master, you called me rude. You're too fierce," Little Yuan'er grumbled.

Ming Xin was unbothered. He raised his hand to stop Shang Zhang from reprimanding her and asked, "What's your name?"

Little Yuan'er laughed and said mischievously, "I'll tell you if you let me go."

Ming Xin said, "Countless people can only dream about joining the Great Void, but you want to leave?"

"I don't like this place," Little Yuan'er said honestly.

Ming Xin did not continue on that topic. He said, "Show me your lotus seat."

"No." Little Yuan'er refused Ming Xin decisively.

"..."

Shang Zhang felt that the little girl was seriously ill with the 'Princess Disease'. How dare she act so audaciously and impudently in front of Ming Xin?

Ming Xin did not bother with Little Yuan'er. He turned to Conch and asked, "What's your name?"

"Conch," Conch replied honestly.

"What's your cultivation base?"

"That of a Venerable Master."

Ming Xin nodded. Although he only had a short conversation with the two girls, he was able to understand their temperaments and personalities. He thought that Hua Zhenghong was right. Finally, he said, "You'll grow to like the Great Void."

With that, Ming Xin turned around and left.

Little Yuan'er muttered under her breath, "He's so weird!"
