Chapter 29
Lu Zhou sighed: Little Yuan’er lost her patience eventually. It was almost one hour when the system prompts finally stopped.
He looked at the system panel.

“Good, I want you to feel that. I’ve told you to forget everything I taught you in the past and remember what I tell you now.”
“I will, Master!” Little Yuan’er pursed her lips.
“Ding! You have sternly disciplined the ninth disciple, Little Yuan’er. You are rewarded with 300 merit points.”
Lu Zhou was watching her loyalty when he punished her, and he found that it did not reduce. It meant that when the loyalty was over 80%, it would not reduce as long as he did not do something that disappointed the disciple in principle.
Little Yuan’er was easy to educate, but the other eight disciples…
He shook his head. There was still a long way for him to go, he knew.
Although full of grievances, after Little Yuan’er got up to her feet, she pursed her lips and said, “The Azure Dragon Association said there was no Lakeside Gang, and it was just a fake gang temporarily formed by a group of cultivators…”
“Temporarily formed?”
“Yes. They lied and even invited helpers from the Yi Province to kill me. I was seized by anger, so I beat them.”
“Beat?”
“Ugh…I killed them,” Little Yuan’er corrected hurriedly. “They had invited some mighty experts. If I didn’t fight back, I wouldn’t be able to see you again, Master…”
“That’s enough. Who dares to bully you if they are not Divine Court experts?” Lu Zhou reproached her in a faint voice.
Little Yuan’er did not dare to speak again.
Lu Zhou calculated the time. By right, Wang Fugui should have returned by now, yet he did not. After considering for a moment, he said, “Wang Fugui has not returned. Come with me.”
“I understand!”
They left the Ci Family and walked along the street toward the Murong Family.
…
At the Derived Moon Palace…
Zhao Yue looked a little agitated and restless, and she kept pacing back and forth.
“You needn’t fret so much, Senior Sister. Now that things have come to this stage, there’s no point regretting it. We have to walk to the end.” Ye Tianxin walked out from behind the screen while smiling.
“Junior Sister Tianxin, you don’t understand. I wouldn’t be so worried if we did this a month ago. The old thing was always short-tempered and selfish. But recently, there has been some changes in the ways he handles things.”
“What changes?”
“It’s difficult to put it in words…I just vaguely feel that his approach is gentler, and he is no longer so short-tempered.” Zhao Yue thought of the various scenes after Lu Zhou drove back the top ten experts.
Ye Tianxin chuckled and said, “Your fear for him has reached a new level. You have survived his torture for so many years and finally left him. You shouldn’t be afraid of him now.”
That made Zhao Yue recall the painful years she had been through, and she sighed. “Maybe I think too much…Do you think he will take the bait?”
“With that old thing’s suspicious character, I think it is very difficult. But, Little Junior Sister might fall for it. She has a simple nature and has only been away from her family for five years. If she learned about it, she will definitely return to Anyang. We just need to capture her. Once that old thing leaves Golden Court Mountain, he will lose the protection of Third and Fourth Senior Brothers and the shield, and I will have countless ways to exhaust his trump cards.”
“How do you plan to exhaust his trump cards?”
“There are many orthodox sects and cultivators in this world who have suffered from him. What will these people do if I spread the word about him? Especially the Heavenly Sword Sect. Luo Changfeng was killed by that old thing.”
“What if they are all afraid of him?”
Zhao Yue had witnessed the scene when the top ten experts and tens of thousands of cultivators fled in the face of her master. She could never forget that for the rest of her life. Perhaps Ji Tiandao was the only person in the world who could make tens of thousands of cultivators flee in terror like that.
“I’ve informed the top ten orthodox sects that the old thing has a secret drug. The top nine experts are no fools. When they figure it out, they will attack him sooner or later.”
Just when she finished, one of her subordinates came in and said, “Master, we have just received a letter from Anyang. The Azure Dragon Association was destroyed, and a token of the imperial army was seen in the city.”
