My Disciples Are All Villains Chapter 1136 - Talented

Chapter 1136 - Talented

The blue-clad female attendant shook her head and said, "I don't know…"
Lan Xihe did not chide her. Instead, she said, "There's no one who's perfectly suitable. I originally wanted to cultivate someone for this position. Unfortunately, there's not enough time…"
"Pavilion Master Lu's cultivation is fine, but his conduct…"
"Have you ever thought that if he were even a little selfish, he wouldn't have given his disciple the Great Void Seed?"
The blue-clad female attendant was rendered speechless by these words.
At this moment, another female attendant flew up from below before landing nimbly like a lark. She bowed and said, "Tower Master, Pavilion Master Lu is here."
"Bring them to the training hall."
"Understood."
Lan Xihe seemed to have vanished into thin air before she reappeared in the training hall on the 80th floor in just a blink of an eye.
After 15 minutes, Lu Zhou entered the training hall with three of his disciples.
Lan Xihe's gaze quickly swept over everyone, identifying them one by one. Ye Tianxin was on the left; Si Wuya was in the center; Little Yuan'er, the youngest, was on the right. She had met all of them before. Finally, she said, "Please take a seat."
Lu Zhou glanced at Lan Xihe. She looked a little different even though he could not tell what was different. In the end, he only said, "You look well."
Little Yuan'er greeted her as well. "Sister, we meet again."
A bright smile appeared on Lan Xihe's face when she heard Little Yuan'er's greeting. She said, "Little girl, if you don't mind, sit next to me."
"Alright, alright..." Little Yuan'er skipped to Lan Xihe's side.
"Don't be rude," Lu Zhou chided Little Yuan'er lightly.
"Okay." Little Yuan'er restrained herself and sat down obediently next to Lan Xihe.
Ye Tianxin and Si Wuya cupped their fists together and called out, "Tower Master Lan…"
Lan Xihe nodded and said, "I really envy Pavilion Master Lu for having so many outstanding disciples."
Lu Zhou sighed and said, "You only see them when they're well-behaved; you didn't see them when they were rebellious."
Si Wuya and Ye Tianxin lowered their heads immediately while Little Yuan'er played with her pigtails and pretended she did not hear anything.
Lan Xihe smiled and said, "A teacher for a day is like a parent for life. I understand Pavilion Master Lu…"
After speaking, Lan Xihe coughed lightly. A hint of listlessness appeared on her face. Although she tried to suppress it, she could not help but cough again.
Lu Zhou asked in puzzlement, "Have you really exhausted every means?"
Lan Xihe said helplessly, "If I didn't exhaust every means, would I have come to this point? If I want to solve this problem, the only way is to have a breakthrough in my cultivation. It's unfortunate I made a fatal mistake in my cultivation…"
Lu Zhou no longer asked any questions.
Lan Xihe's real-life experience far surpassed everyone present. She was also a survivor of the Great Void Expedition. How could someone like her not exhaust every means available? There were the blue crystals, advanced life hearts, sacred items… even the great blood sacrifice. However, women were vain creatures. Even if the great blood sacrifice could grant them immortality, it was unlikely they would attempt such a thing.
"Ye Tianxin," Lu Zhou called out.
Ye Tianxin rose to her feet and stood in front of everyone. Her white hair blended in with her white robes. Her untainted air and her snowy white robes that complemented the White Tower Council made her look like the master of this place.
Lan Xihe nodded in satisfaction. However, when she glanced at Si Wuya and Little Yuan'er from the corners of her eyes, she thought everyone from the Evil Sky Pavilion was suitable to be the Tower Master of the White Tower Council.
"What do you think?" Lu Zhou asked.
"I'm very satisfied... Ye Tianxin is undoubtedly the best candidate to be the next Tower Master of the White Tower Council," Lan Xihe replied.
At this moment, the blue-clad female attendant walked in and said with a bow, "Tower Master, the elders and the judges request an audience with you…"
"No," Lan Xihe said decisively.
"But... T-they said if you refuse to see them, they'll barge in…" the blue-clad female attendant said.
Before the blue-clad female attendant could finish her words, a group of people barged into the training hall. There were more than ten white-clad cultivators; half male and half female. All of them bowed.
"Greetings, Tower Master!"
Just as Lan Xihe was about to chase them out, Lu Zhou said, "Why don't you let them stay?"
Lan Xihe sat back down and waved her hand.
The group of white-clad cultivators bowed at Lu Zhou and Lan Xihe.
Then, one of the white-clad cultivators said, "I hope you'll forgive us, Tower Master. However, this matter concerns the future Tower Master of the White Tower Council."
Lan Xihe said, "Speak. What do you have to say?"
"Tower Master, Pavilion Master Lu. We don't dare to covet the position of Tower Master. We have no objection if Pavilion Master Lu takes over the position. If it's someone else, their cultivation base should be profound with virtue and talent to match..." an elder said.
"Virtue and talent?" Lan Xihe raised an eyebrow.
"The White Tower Council's power is diminishing day by day. Great Ming is also getting bolder in provoking us. If the new Tower Master isn't someone with virtue and talent, the White Tower Council will collapse…" an elder said worriedly.
Another person added, "This is the reason we asked to see you. We've been with the White Tower Council for so many years after all. We hope to get an explanation so we can also give an explanation to those from the Lower Council. Otherwise, they're bound to get anxious and the morale of our members will plummet… It'd be extremely detrimental to the unity of the White Tower Council."
In fact, this kind of situation was very normal. From the smallest family to the biggest country, the slightest changes would cause anxieties.
Lan Xihe said, "I can assure you that the person who replaces me will surpass me..."
Someone who would surpass Lan Xihe? What kind of expert was this?
Everyone was shocked.
"Who is it?"
At this moment, Ye Tianxin turned around and cupped her fists at the group of white-clad cultivators. It could be considered as a greeting.
Everyone sized Ye Tianxin up immediately; her temperament, appearance, and behavior were all fine. However, none of them dared to ask about her cultivation base. After all, it was a very impolite question to ask.
However, how could Ye Tianxin not understand their thoughts? She smiled and said to one of the white-clad cultivators, "I'm Ye Tianxin, please advise me."
"Ding Ling, please advise me."
As soon as her opponent's voice fell, Ye Tianxin swiftly raised her hand and attacked. A golden flower seal flew out followed by a golden butterfly seal; one was fast, and one was slow.
"Butterfly Love Flower?"
Lu Zhou nodded his head in satisfaction. He had only briefly taught her this move, but she had comprehended it so quickly.
There was no pattern to the flower seal's movement. It was very difficult to dodge, and one could only slap it away. On the other hand, the butterfly flapped its wings; when it flew, it was as fast as lightning, catching everyone by surprise. They advanced and retreated in sync.
For a moment, Ye Tianxin actually had the upper hand.
However, Ding Ling was an elder of the White Tower Council, after all. After she was forced back a few steps, she felt rather humiliated. She did not hesitate and brought her astrolabe out before pushing it forward.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The butterfly and flower made from energy dissipated while Ye Tianxin flew backward before landing lightly like a butterfly.
"That's enough." Lan Xihe stopped Ding Ling.
Ding Ling could only obey. However, she said, "Tower Master, with her strength, I'm afraid it'll be difficult to convince everyone. I'm not being disrespectful to Pavilion Master Lu. Even if we agree, there'll always be others in the White Tower Council and Great Ming who won't accept this. I hope Tower Master and Pavilion Master Lu can understand where we're coming from..."
The other elders followed and said, "Tower Master, Pavilion Master Lu, please try to understand us."
Lu Zhou smiled faintly and said, "Your name is Ding Ling?"
Ding Ling turned around and said, "The Sixth Elder of the White Tower Council greets Pavilion Master Lu."
"When did you form the Thousand Realms Whirling avatar?" Lu Zhou asked.
"10,000 years ago."
"What's your cultivation level?"
"Only six Birth Charts... Pavilion Master Lu, I'm sorry," Ding Ling said.
Someone next to her quickly added, "Although Ding Ling only has six Birth Charts, she's extraordinarily talented. She activated six Birth Charts within 1,000 years. She's also an elder that the Tower Master personally appointed. It won't be long before she passes her Birth Trial…"
Lu Zhou did not reply to the white-clad cultivator. Instead, he looked at Ye Tianxin and asked, "Ye Tianxin, how many years has it been since you followed me to cultivate?"
Ye Tianxin replied, "I've been with the Evil Sky Pavilion for 45 years."
Everyone was shocked.
Lu Zhou asked again, "When did you form the Thousand Realms Whirling avatar?"
"Less than a year ago," Ye Tianxin said.
Everyone was further shocked.
"How's that possible?" Ding Ling exclaimed in shock.
