Chapter 128 - Teaching the Eighth Disciple
“That’s the end of the discussion. Don’t let me down.” Lu Zhou stared at Mingshi Yin.
Mingshi Yin got goosebumps when he heard Lu Zhou’s words. He carried the box and spoke in an aggrieved tone, “Yes, master.”
“Everyone’s dismissed.”
“Understood.”
Lu Zhou glanced at the system dashboard. The progress of unlocking the box had appeared on the mission list. Indeed. He did not think there was anyone more suitable for this task than Mingshi Yin. He was certain Mingshi Yin was the only one who could deftly maneuver his ways between these different villains. Only someone as shameless as Mingshi Yin could complete this task. Moreover, based on his memories, Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong had never mistreated their juniors. He frowned as he thought to himself, ‘In that case, why did they abandon the Evil Sky Pavilion? This is giving me a headache.’
After Mingshi Yin left the great hall with the box in his hands, a female cultivator walked in and bowed before she said, “Pavilion Master, Ye Tianxin showed no changes today.”
“Alright,” Lu Zhou replied indifferently.
Ye Tianxin had fallen into a deep slumber, and her fate was still in limbo.
Mingshi Yin did not stop Zhu Honggong. He sat on the wooden armchair, waiting to watch a good show.
Old Eighth brandished the saber and slashed down mercilessly.
Bang!
Sparks flew in the air as the saber snapped into two and dropped to the ground with a clang.
Zhu Honggong’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He looked at the mysterious box and gulped. “Heavens! Why is this box so hardy?”
“If I know the answer to that, would I be here?” Mingshi Yin grabbed the grapes beside him and ate them. He spat the skin out from time to time.
“Fourth Senior Brother… I truly wonder. The Evil Sky Pavilion is waning, and the cultivation world is waiting for master’s life to run out. When that time comes, all the treasures in the Evil Sky Pavilion will be looted. Why don’t you seize this opportunity…”
“Shut up!” Mingshi Yin snapped.
Thud!
Zhu Honggong fell to his knees again.
“You master-betraying, patriarch-denouncing scoundrel… It’s one thing for you to leave the Evil Sky Pavilion, but you dare curse your master?! What did master ever do to you?” Mingshi Yin chided.
“Uh…” Zhu Honggong scratched his head. “I just got beaten up a lot. There’s no real enmity between us…”
“Do you know what happened to your Sixth Senior Sister?”
“Senior Sister Tianxin?”
“Her cultivation base is destroyed, and her fate is in limbo… Listen to me, don’t go against master. I can understand why you want to leave the Evil Sky Pavilion, but if you do anything behind his back…” Mingshi Yin said coldly.
“Senior Brother! You’re wrongly accusing me! I have done no such thing!” Zhu Honggong straightened three fingers and swore to the heavens.
