My Disciples Are All Villains Chapter 1480 - Forced Retainment (2)

Chapter 1480 Forced Retainment (2)
Lu Zhou said in a clear voice, “Although my disciple is mischievous, she has a pure heart. She knows her limits.”
“Master is right,” Little Yuan’er echoed.
Lu Zhou saw the continuous flow of energy entering Little Yuan’er through the power of sight. The entire process would take a while. Elder Ming De, on the other hand, kept a close eye on Little Yuan’er. He wanted to see if there would be a test of her willpower and her state of mind. However, after 15 minutes, there were still no changes. The more he looked at her, the more frightened he became. He looked at Lu Zhou and asked, “May I ask if she’s born with her upper limit opened?” Lu Zhou frowned slightly. It seemed like he could not hide this so he nodded and said, “That’s right.”
“No wonder,” Elder Ming De said before he asked again, “Where did she come from?”
This time, Lu Zhou did not answer the question. Instead, he said, “That doesn’t have anything to do with you, right?”
Elder Ming De could tell Lu Zhou was wary. He reminded, “State of mind.”
“That’s not important now,” Lu Zhou said.
“I’ve guessed that you’re no stronger than a Saint. You’re too sensitive, and the fluctuation of your aura is weak. Your robe might be able to block others, but I can tell you don’t have more than 26 Birth Charts,” Elder Ming De said.
“You guessed?” Lu Zhou furrowed his brows, slightly surprised.
“The barrier in the Great Abyss Land’s Pillar of Destruction has a special function called… psychological projection,” Elder Ming De explained, “Everyone has thoughts in their minds all the time, and the thing that everyone thinks about most will be exposed here.”
Lu Zhou looked around, but he did not see anything out of the ordinary. He was not sure if Elder Ming De was lying or not. However, it was absolutely accurate that his limit was 26 Birth Charts. It could not be a coincidence that Elder Ming De’s guess was so accurate. Elder Ming De chuckled. “You’re not sure if I’m lying and if I’m really just guessing…”
Lu Zhou recited the mantra for the Heavenly Writing’s power of concealment.
‘With one’s true body and wisdom in the Heavenly arts, one can reveal one’s vast strength. With the cloud medallion, one will be able to hide from sight and avoid detection through various Heavenly arts.’
The power of concealment did not consume much of his divine power and could conceal his aura. Elder Ming De was slightly surprised. “Good technique.”

Lu Zhou asked, “You seemed to like prying into other people’s thoughts?”
Elder Ming shook his head. “It’s not really prying. It’s just a small trick. Otherwise, who in the Great Abyss Land’s Pillar of Destruction would be willing to interact with me?”
As expected, it was one of Elder Ming De’s abilities.
Lu Zhou recalled when Elder Ming De had exerted his willpower on him earlier. He thought it was likely at that time that Elder Ming De managed to pry into his thoughts. Lu Zhou remained calm and turned back to look at the barrier.
At this time, Elder Ming De called out with a smile on his face, “Little girl.”
“Huh?”
“Here.” Elder Ming De suddenly clapped his hand and switched position.
Little Yuan’er instinctively looked over.
Lu Zhou frowned upon seeing this. Little Yuan’er was still too naive. She did not even know that Elder Ming De was trying to play tricks on her.
Elder Mingde exerted his willpower before he rushed toward the barrier. However, as soon as he drew close, he vanished into thin air.
When Elder Ming De reappeared again, Little Yuan’er looked at him strangely and asked, “What are you doing?”
“Hm?” Elder Ming De smiled. “You can come out now.”
“No. It’s quite comfortable here. I’ll stay for a little while more,” Little Yuan’er said as she walked back and forth in the barrier. She felt safe in the barrier as though she was being protected.
“Alright, you can stay,” Elder Ming De said with a strange smile.
Elder Ming De’s sudden change in attitude was rather puzzling. He suddenly turned to Lu Zhou and asked, “Is she your disciple?”
Lu Zhou stood with his hands on his back and did not reply.
Elder Ming De continued smiling. “Her talent is very high. Her future is limitless now that the Great Abyss Land’s Pillar of Destruction has recognized her. Why don’t you let her stay? The Feather tribe will definitely nurture her well. What do you think?”
‘You finally reveal your foxtail…’
Lu Zhou shook his head. “No.”
“Don’t be in a hurry to refuse. I’ll naturally take the White Emperor into consideration. Emperor Yu and the White Emperor are good friends, after all. If she’s willing to stay, she might be able to obtain the inheritance of Emperor Yu and become the next Feather Emperor,” Elder Ming De said. “I don’t want to be the Feather Emperor,” Little Yuan’er said.
Humans’ aesthetic standards were different from fierce beasts, after all. Little Yuan’er did not want a pair of wings on her back.
Elder Ming De said, “According to the conditions, you have to stay and serve for 3,000 years.”
This condition was to prevent the outflow of prodigies, after all.
With 3,000 years, they had time to brainwash, educate, and grind down the other party’s will. It would be easy to turn the other party into their own. It would be even better if she could start a family and procreate with one of the Feather tribesmen.
Little Yuan’er said, “Didn’t you say earlier that you’ll dismiss the second condition?” Elder Ming De said, “I’m just an elder. How can I casually change the conditions? I apologize for speaking recklessly earlier.”

Little Yuan’er despised people like Elder Ming De the most. He had clearly said he would dismiss the second condition earlier, but now, he shamelessly went back on his words. She pointed at him angrily and stuttered, “You… You…”
Lu Zhou and Conch felt rather speechless.
Finally, Lu Zhou said in a faint voice, “No matter what, Yuan’er won’t be staying.”
Elder Ming De said, “This girl is so talented. She even opened up her upper limit. She’ll definitely become a supreme being and the sovereign of all humans in the future.”
“The sovereign of humans?” Lu Zhou furrowed his brows slightly.
“That’s right. The Great Abyss Land is known as Ren Ding, which means mankind can conquer the heavens. Since she’s recognized by Ren Ding’s Pillar of Destruction, she’ll definitely be the future sovereign of humans. There are differences between supreme beings. Lesser supreme beings are called divine lords; greater supreme beings are called divine kings; divine supreme beings are called divine emperors. Don’t you want your disciple to become the future human sovereign?”
Lu Zhou said without any hesitation, “She’s still young. I’m afraid she can’t shoulder such huge responsibilities. I’m sorry to disappoint you, but no.”
Lu Zhou thought the most important thing now was to leave the Great Abyss Land’s Pillar of Destruction after Little Yuan’er was done. No matter what the other party said, he would refuse them all.
Elder Ming De said, displeased, “You really have no respect for the rules of the Great Abyss Land’s Pillar of Destruction.”
“You went back on your words, but you still want to talk to me about respect?” Lu Zhou said before he added, “You have no respect for the White Emperor at all.”
At this moment, Elder Ming De seemed to realize his attitude was not right. He was eager to make the little girl stay so he had acted impulsively. With this, he calmed down immediately. Then, he bowed and apologized. “I’m sorry. It’s just that I’m really fond of this girl. Please don’t take offense.”
Lu Zhou ignored Elder Ming De.
Elder Ming De said again, “I apologize for my words and actions. Girl, you can leave the Great Abyss Land’s Pillar of Destruction.”
At this time, Little Yuan’er felt that it was no longer that comfortable inside the barrier so she walked out. She walked to Lu Zhou’s side and said with a smile, “Master, I don’t want to be a human sovereign. I want to stay by your side for the rest of my life!”
Lu Zhou felt warmth suffuse his heart. He raised his hand and placed his hand gently on her head and let the divine power shroud her before he said, “Alright, let’s go.”
Then, when Lu Zhou walked past Conch, he let the divine power shroud her as well.
If there was a problem, he would cast the power of teleportation and bring them away. He had a feeling the Collective Teleportation Jade Talismans were useless here, but his power of teleportation was not restricted.
Elder Ming De called out, “Why are you in such a hurry to leave? It’s an important thing that the Great Abyss Land’s Pillar of Destruction has recognized someone. I should report this to Emperor Yu. His Majesty will personally welcome you.” Lu Zhou said, “No need. I still have important matters to attend to. Please tell Emperor Yu that I’ll remember what happened today and that I’ll definitely repay him in the future.”
“This…” Elder Ming De appeared in front of the trio before he said, “It won’t take too much of your time. Previously, I didn’t expect this girl to be recognized by the pillar. I was really blind.” Then, he raised his voice and called out, “Hong Jian.”
“Your orders?” Hong Jian bowed.
“Hurry up and report this,” Elder Ming De said. Lu Zhou frowned and said in a deep voice, “You’re trying to forcefully retain us?” “Absolutely not.” “Then, move aside,” Lu Zhou said.
At this time, a Feather tribesman flew into the hall. After landing, he said, “The White Emperor has sent a letter, summoning the three distinguished guests back.” Elder Ming De asked, perplexed, “The White Emperor should’ve sent it to Emperor Yu. Why was the letter sent here?”
