Chapter 21
There had been no news from Zhao Yue after her first letter, and Lu Zhou knew that she was most likely not coming back. Like the few other disciples, she chose to leave the sect.
Lu Zhou tried to figure out the reason for her defection but failed, for a great part of Ji Tiandao’s memory was lost. However, Mingshi Yin had only gone out once and his loyalty was reduced to below the passing level, so Zhao Yue should have been also persuaded by someone to defect, he reckoned.
Anyhow, he stopped thinking about it after a moment. After all, it was not an overnight project to discipline and tame these disciples. His priority now was to restore his life force and increase his cultivation base as quickly as possible.
He did not say anything, but Little Yuan’er felt that her master was unfairly treated, so she said angrily, “I can’t believe Senior Sister Zhao Yue is also like that!”
Lu Zhou shook his head and said, “Just ignore her.”
“Master, she betrayed you and the sect! How can we simply ignore her?” Little Yuan’er got angrier.
Lu Zhou found her angry look rather cute, and he said, “In this case, you will also find out news about Zhao Yue at the station for the next few days.”
1Lu Zhou’s brow frowned slightly as he said in a not so happy voice, “System, you have given me twenty-three times of ‘thank you for trying’ in a row, including the eighteen times before this. Is there any problem with the probability of your lucky draw?”
Of course, the system did not answer, and he barely restrained himself from swearing.
“I still have seven hundred and fifty-four merit points…I will try two more times and then use the balance to buy a reversal card!”
“Lucky draw.”
“Ding! This lucky draw costs 50 merit points. Thank you for trying, you have received 1 luck point.”
‘F*ck!” Lu Zhou cursed in his mind.
“Lucky draw!”
“Ding! This lucky draw costs 50 merit points. Thank you for trying, you have received 1 luck point.”
“…”
“I’ll try just one more time, and if it still gives me nothing this time, I’ll stop!”
1“Lucky draw!”
“Ding! This lucky draw costs 50 merit points. Thank you for trying, you have received 1 luck point.”
“One more time!”
2“Ding! This lucky draw costs 50 merit points. Thank you for trying, you have received 1 luck point.”
…
In the blink of an eye, his merit points were almost gone. He got nothing but ‘thank you for trying’, while he had accumulated a total of 33 luck points.
“I think I understand now…these are not luck points, but bad luck points, right?”
1Looking at the merit points on the interface, which showed 104, Lu Zhou said, “Fine, I admit defeat…”
But, since there was nothing he could do or buy with so little merit points…
“Lucky draw!”
“Ding! This lucky draw costs 50 merit points and 33 luck points. You have received a cultivation technique: ‘Three Scrolls of Heaven Writing’, an avatar: Three Condensing Flowers, reversal cards x 10.”
