My Disciples Are All Villains

Qin Renyue certainly understood Qin Moshang's temperament very well. Indeed, Qin Moshang was someone who would not let him be at ease. He had to worry about Qin Moshang constantly.

Qin Moshang lost both his parents when he was young so he lacked discipline. Moreover, due to his relationship with Qin Renyue, no one dared to be too strict with him. Over time, he developed a domineering and arrogant personality. He became even worse after he became an adult. Although the Qin clansmen were angry, they naturally did not dare to blame him too much. In fact, the first and second elders tried their best to protect him despite his terrible personality. They covered for him and turned big issues into small issues.

As a Venerable Master, apart from cultivating in seclusion, Qin Renyue had many things to attend to as well. It was impossible for him to find time to educate Qin Moshang. He had once ordered Qin Moshang to stop causing trouble. In the beginning, Qin Moshang was rather obedient. However, as time passed, Qin Moshang returned to his old ways with a vengeance. For this reason, he ordered Qin Naihe, the Free Man of the Qin clan, to stay by Qin Moshang's side. This was so Qin Naihe could stop Qin Moshang from causing trouble or making mistakes. It was unfortunate that in the end, it still had to come to this point.

Qin Renyue sighed heavily before he said, "It's not my intention to doubt Brother Lu's words. However, although Moshang was arrogant and despotic, he would not have dared to ambush a Venerable Master."

Indeed. Qin Moshang was a lot of things, but he was not that stupid. He would be a fool if he had knowingly attacked a Venerable Master. It was no different from seeking death.

Lu Zhou shook his head. "He's no different from you when you first met me."

"..."

Lu Zhou's words rendered Qin Renyue speechless. Indeed. When he had first met Lu Zhou, he did not think there was anything extraordinary about Lu Zhou. If even someone like him made such a mistake, then there was no doubt the inexperienced Qin Moshang had made this mistake as well.

At this moment, a disciple moved to Qin Renyue's side and whispered a few words to him. A frown appeared on his face as he waved his hand.

Two talismans flew out instantly; one above and one below. Then, a projection appeared.

Qin De appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

"Venerable Master Qin, I've discovered the truth. That traitor, Qin Naihe, has joined the Evil Sky Pavilion! The person who killed the Young Master is the Pavilion Master of the Evil…"

All of sudden, no sound came out from the projection as though the person had been muted.

Qin De seemed to have gone mute when his eyes fell on Lu Zhou who was standing next to Qin Renyue. He knew Qin Renyue had gone to Yannnan. However, Qin Renyue should have had privacy before contacting him, right? Moreover, the person he had been talking about was right next to Qin Renyue.

Lu Zhou looked at Qin De and said, "Didn't I tell you I'd be at Yannan?"

Qin De was stunned. Indeed, the person in front of him had said such words.

At this moment, Qin Renyue said, "I already know about Moshang."

Qin De exclaimed in surprise, "You know?"

Qin Renyue nodded. "Where's Qin Naihe?"

"The red lotus domain's Sky Martial Academy."

"I want to speak to him," Qin Renyue said.

Upon hearing this, Yan Zhenluo said with a smile, "That can be easily arranged."

Then, Yan Zhenluo brought out talismans as well. Since he used more talismans, the circle of light on the ground was bigger as well.

After briefly speaking to Si Wuya, Si Wuya went to Qin Naihe's room.

With this, Qin Renyue saw the seriously injured Qin Naihe. He called out, "Qin Naihe."

Qin Naihe hastily got off the bed and kneeled on the ground. He said, "It's my fault for failing to protect the Young Master. This matter has nothing to do with the Evil Sky Pavilion. I hope you can restrain your anger, Venerable Master Qin."

Qin Renyue's eyelids twitched upon hearing these words. The Qin clan had raised Qin Naihe for so many years, but he had never seen Qin Naihe behaving in such a manner. Qin Naihe had just joined the Evil Sky Pavilion a few days ago, and yet, he was willing to shoulder all the burden alone.

After a moment, Qin Renyue said, "You're the only one I trusted with Moshang. Back then, I entrusted him to you because I hoped you'd be able to strictly discipline him. I'm greatly disappointed by his death. If you still remember our past relationship, you'll give me a clear explanation."

Lu Zhou's expression remained the same; he did not say anything.

This matter was like a knot in Qin Naihe's heart. Now that he was given an opportunity to explain himself, how could he hold back? He immediately recounted Qin Moshang's death. After he composed himself, he said with reddened eyes, "Everything I said is true. To prove the veracity of my words, I'm willing to destroy three of my Birth Charts! It's also to repay Venerable Master Qin's kindness to me!"

Following that, Qin Naihe did not hesitate and mustered up all his energy to manifest his astrolabe. When the astrolabe appeared, he spat out a mouthful of blood. Clearly, the manifestation of the astrolabe had taken a toll on him due to his heavy injuries.

Just as Qin Naihe was about to ruthlessly destroy his Birth Charts, Si Wu launched a timely palm seal that hit Qin Naihe's arm. He cried out, "Are you crazy?!"

Qin Naihe endured the pain and said, "There's no doubt that the Young Master was in the wrong. However, joining the Evil Sky Pavilion is akin to being disloyal to Venerable Master Qin. This is the least I can do to atone for my sin…"

During this time, Si Wuya had spent a lot of time comforting Qin Naihe. He was quite surprised that this matter had formed a knot in Qin Naihe's heart since Qin Naihe was a smart and rational person.

Si Wuya chuckled. He said in a tone that carried a hint of anger, "Why do you care so much about that f*cking Venerable Master? If he's appreciative of you, is it possible that he could not even find time to meet you? If he's appreciative of you, why did he not even give you a chance to explain yourself regarding Qin Moshang's matter?"

Qin Renyue. "..."

It was rather strange, but Qin Renyue did not know why he was not angry at all when Si Wuya called him a 'f*cking Venerable Master'.

Qin Naihe looked at Si Wuya with a helpless expression, not knowing what to say.

Si Wuya continued to say firmly, "You've done your best. If Qin Moshang, Venerable Master Qin, or the Qin clan's elders had listened to you, Qin Moshang wouldn't have died!"

Then, Si Wuya scoffed before he raised his voice and said icily, "You're not wrong; my master's not wrong; the Evil Sky Pavilion's not wrong. Those who are in the wrong are the elders of the Qin clan and Qin Renyue! If the Qin clan doesn't see reason and is stubborn, they can come to the Evil Sky Pavilion to seek revenge! Punishing you for someone else's mistakes is stupid. "

"..."

The cloud platform was abnormally quiet.

The room Si Wuya was in was terrifyingly quiet as well.

Lu Zhou's expression was still the same.

Qin Renyue's brows were tightly knitted, but he remained silent. He really could not find any words to refute the young man's words. Putting aside his friendship with Lu Zhou and Lu Zhou's cultivation base, even if he could kill Lu Zhou and avenge Qin Moshang, this matter would still be a stain in his life.

The more Qin Renyue thought about it the more he agreed that Qin Naihe had a clear conscience. Moreover, even if that were not the case, what could he do? Lu Zhou was far better than him. The Evil Sky Pavilion had the ability to disregard the Qin clan, but what could the Qin clan do?

After a moment of silence, Si Wuya turned around and cupped his fists at Lu Zhou and Qin Renyue. "Greetings, master. Greetings…"

Lu Zhou interjected, "Don't be rude."

"Greetings, Venerable Master Qin," Si Wuya said. His expression clearly contradicted his words.

Qin Renyue closed his eyes and inhaled deeply. When he opened his eyes, he looked at Si Wuya and said with a heavy sigh, "You're right. Qin Moshang was at fault, and I'm at fault. One should pay the price for one's mistake."

Si Wuya was slightly taken aback. He thought that Qin Renyue would be stubborn and refute his words. He did not expect Qin Renyue to admit his mistake so easily. It seemed like Qin Naihe was right; Qin Renyue was a reasonable person.

Qin Naihe was still kneeling on the ground, and he still did not know what to say. He really wished he had the courage to cut off the projection. He only said, "Venerable Master…"

"Qin Naihe, he's right. You're not at fault," Qin Renyue calmly said, "Let's end this matter regarding Moshang. When you have the time, you can return and visit me at the Qin clan any time."
