My Disciples Are All Villains

Chapter 267 Eldest Senior Brother’s People

Since her master had already spoken, Zhao Yue did not voice her opinion. Zhao Yue was not overly interested in this trip to the Divine Capital. She was barely freed from the cold poison after all. She was more interested in cultivating more than anything else.

Little Yuan’er, on the other hand, was more eager to go out and play than cultivating. The Divine Capital was one of the busiest places in Great Yan after all. She had been wanting to visit the capital for a long time now. It was a pity, prior to this, that her master did not bring her here. Now that she had the chance to visit, how could she not feel delighted?

They kept a low profile. The three of them did not travel in the flying chariot. Moreover, it was damaged and needed repair.

When three of them entered the city, amazing architectures, organized streets, and the bustling crowd exceeded their expectations.

Even Lu Zhou was surprised. However, he had no interest in these things. He ordered, “Let’s

go.”

Little Yuan’er had no choice but to calm her excitement and helplessly followed her master.

Zhao Yue, on the other hand, was obedient. She followed her master without complaints.

“Master, where are we going?” Little Yuan’er asked.

“The Prince of Qi Mansion.” “The Prince of Qi Mansion?” Little Yuan’er confused.

Zhao Yue walked up to Little Yuan’er and whispered, “He’s an acquaintance of master.”

“Hm? Master has a friend like this?”

Zhao Yue shushed her as she trembled in fear. She did not know if she should laugh or cry. ‘I should stay away from you. I’m not you, after all… I’m not as loved by master like you.’ If she had said this, she would have been heavily punished.

The two of them stole a glance at their master. When they noticed that their master was not angered, they sighed in relief.

Lu Zhou continued walking as he stroked his beard and said, “Yuan’er.”

Thud!

Little Yuan’er suddenly fell to her knees. She covered her ears with her hands and said, “Master… I’ve made a mistake! I won’t do it

again!”

The pedestrians started looking at them.

‘Why is she kneeling in the middle of the street?’

‘What a peculiar group!’

Lu Zhou turned around with a questioning expression on his face. ‘Why is this little girl kneeling all of a sudden?’ “Get up,” Lu Zhou said indifferently.

“I say, old mister… This isn’t right. Your granddaughter seems like a nice lass. Look at how cute she is. How can you treat her so coldly?”

“Yeah… This little girl immediately admitted her mistake and even kneeled on the ground. Compared to the ungrateful brat in my house, she’s an angel.”

“Little girl, get up quickly. Your grandfather is old. His mind must be muddled as well.”

Lu Zhou was speechless. “These passersby sure are creative and imaginative.’

‘They’re such an annoying bunch.’ Little Yuan’er suddenly rose to her feet in a huff. She stomped her foot on the ground.

Boom!

The ground cracked. The crowd immediately stepped back. They were so shocked that their mouths were agape.

‘What the… how contrary to her appearance.’

‘What a fierce young lady!’

“One more word about my grandfather, and I’ll beat you up!” Little Yuan’er said angrily.

The crowd immediately scattered. ‘Our kindness is treated as ill intention. Why were we so nosy anyway?’ Lu Zhou stroked his beard and nodded. He was pleased with Little Yuan’er’s actions. Before this, she would have threatened to kill those people’s families. This time, she only threatened to beat them up. It was truly a huge improvement. “Keep up,” Lu Zhou said. “Oh.” Little Yuan’er and Zhao Yue sighed with relief at the same time.

When the two of them passed by an intersection, Little Yuan’er pointed at a few low-ranked cultivators who carried sabers and said, “Master, those people are from the Nether Sect.”

Lu Zhou looked in the direction in which she pointed.

Little Yuan’er said, “The Nether Sect is the largest fiend sect in Great Yan. Many factions would stay out of their way as much as they can. Yet, they’re bold enough to be recruiting members in the open. Isn’t the imperial family going to do anything about this?” “There’s no need to care about this.” Lu Zhou shook his head and continued further into the city.

Zhao Yue said, “The Nether Sect is, indeed, a fiend sect, but to the Imperial family, the Nether Sect is no different from the ten great sects of the Noble Path. They just stay out of each other’s businesses. The Nether Sect recruiting disciples is no different from the Noble Path recruiting disciples in their eyes. Naturally, the Imperial family won’t meddle in this… Moreover, knowing Eldest… the traitor’s methods, I’m sure that he went through the right people beforehand.”

“Oh.” Little Yuan’er nodded despite not understanding anything.

The Nether Sect had never interfered with the Imperial family’s business on the surface. They had been assimilating smaller fiend sect’s in the dark.

When they walked past the city area, they found themselves in a residential area. Their surroundings were much quieter as well.

With Lu Zhou’s foggy memories as a guide, the three of them made their way to the Prince of Qi Mansion. It did not seem to have changed at all throughout the years.

“Master, I’ll go knock on the door.”

It was the residence of a high-rank individual, after all. The number of steps before the door alone was more than that of ordinary homes.

Before she could even knock, the doors creaked and swung open slowly.

Several house servants emerged from the Prince of Qi Mansion. Eventually, an aged butler stepped forward and asked, “Who are

you?”

Little Yuan’er turned to look at her master.

“Where’s Qin Jun?” Lu zhou asked calmly.

The butler was incensed. How could this visitor have the nerve to address his master by his name. This was no ordinary butler. He had been in the Prince of Qi Mansion for two decades and was deeply loved by the members of the mansion. He was meticulous and thorough with his work. He remembered most of their visitors, up to their appearance and preferences. He was also a man who could read other people. He narrowed his eyes as he sized Lu Zhou up.

‘Hm?’ The butler’s eyes suddenly widened! He seemed to have some recollection of this man. He no longer dared to act carelessly. He bowed and greeted Lu Zhou, “Greetings. If I’m not mistaken, you’re from the Golden Court Mountain, right, old mister?”

This butler was highly intelligent and a high EQ. He did not ask for a name nor did he mention Lu Zhou’s name and bring up the title of the greatest villain. Instead, he only asked about the place Lu Zhou was from. That way he could avoid offending Lu Zhou.

Lu Zhou stroked his beard and nodded. “You recognize me?”

Upon receiving confirmation from Lu Zhou, the old butler did not hesitate. Thud!

He fell to his knees immediately, kowtowed, and said, “Greetings, o-old mister!” As smart as he was, he carefully avoided using titles that might offend the guests.

Little Yuan’er and Zhao Yue were startled by this sight. Their master was widely known in the world as the greatest villain and had a bad reputation. Even those who had nothing to do with the Evil Sky Pavilion would do their best to avoid him when they heard his name. And yet, this old butler kneeled and kowtowed. It seemed like their master did have some special relationships with this place.

Zhao Yue said, “Answer the question.”

Little Yuan’er nodded and parrotted Zhao Yue, “Answer the question.”

There were many rules in the palace. They were not even in the Imperial City yet, but people here would kneel at a moment’s notice.

The old butler said, “I… have seen… Old mister’s portrait in my master’s room!”

“My portrait?” Lu Zhou searched his memories. He remembered the scene where he met the Prince of Qi, Qin Jun, for the first time. He did not recall leaving behind any portraits. He guessed Qin Jun must have hired an artist to draw it. ‘Oh, well, that’s unimportant.’

Lu Zhou had used the Reversal Cards, and there had been some changes in his appearance, but his bearing did not change. This old butler was, indeed, special for being able to recognize him. If he had more Reversal Cards in the future, he would grow younger. At that time, most people would be hard-pressed to recognize him.

“This way please, old mister!”

The old butler knew how to treat his guests well. He knew the status of his guests and did away with announcing their arrival beforehand. He hastily got to his feet and made an inviting gesture.

Lu Zhou nodded, pleased. Then, he strode into the Prince of Qi Mansion.

In the living room.

The old butler served them the best tea the mansion had to offer.

Lu Zhou did not mind these things. Instead, he asked, “Where’s Qin Jun?”

The old butler stood at the side and spoke respectfully, “To answer your question, old mister, my master has gone to the Imperial city. He would be back in half a day. Meanwhile, please make yourself comfortable.”

The butler’s voice had barely faded when an energetic and loud voice rang in the air. “Old Hong… I was told we have a few honored

guests?”
