My Disciples Are All Villains

No one expected Zhu Honggong to flee so decisively. His action was like a slap to those cultivators who thought highly of him.

'Is this the f*cking work of a human?!'

Zhu Honggong, a disciple of the Evil Sky Pavilion; the owner of a Great Void Seed who joined the Sacred Temple; and the person favored by Ming Xin, fled without caring about everyone's opinion.

Everyone looked at Lu Zhou, Zhu Honggong's master.

Lu Zhou hovered in the air with a slight frown on his face. After a moment, he scolded, "Wicked disciple."

Ling Weiyang laughed heartily before he said, "He's very interesting. I like him."

Bai Zhaoju chimed in, "A wise man knows to bend and yield."

Lu Zhou, who had heard many words of flattery before, was naturally immune to Ling Weiyang and Bai Zhaoju's words. He shook his head and said, "He's as timid as a mouse."

Qi Sheng said with a helpless expression on his face, "Holy Maiden wins this round uncontested. Is there anyone else who wants to challenge her?"

If there was a sliver of chance earlier of someone challenging Lan Xihe earlier, at this moment, that sliver of chance had been destroyed by the brief appearance of the light disk. It was impossible for Dao Saints to defeat supreme beings.

Everyone shook their heads.

"There's no challenger?" Qi Sheng asked.

No one responded. The Cloud Domain was as silent as a graveyard.

In the end, Qi Sheng could only say, "Then, I'll announce that the Commander of Xihe Hall is…"

"Wait," Lan Xihe suddenly interjected.

Qi Sheng asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Lan Xihe replied, "I'm afraid I can't continue to be the Commander of Xihe Hall."

"Why?" Qi Sheng was even more puzzled.

Everyone discussed animatedly among themselves as well when they heard Lan Xihe's words.

"According to the rules, with my strength and ability, I'm qualified to be the Hall Master of Xihe Hall," Lan Xihe said calmly.

Qi Sheng frowned. "You want to be the hall master?"

"Do you think I'm not qualified?" Lan Xihe asked in return.

"No," Qi Sheng said with a smile, "If you're not qualified, then no one is. However, I can't make the decision regarding this matter. You'll have to talk to the Sacred Temple."

At this time, Chi Biaonu asked, "Since when do the ten halls' affairs have to be decided by the Sacred Temple?"

Since the three emperors did not live in the Great Void, in their opinions, the affairs of the ten halls should be decided by the ten halls themselves.

Qi Sheng said helplessly, "This is how it's always been."

"..."

The Sacred Temple was above the ten halls, after all. Who would dare to say anything?

Lan Xihe said, "I'll explain this matter to the Sacred Temple." Then, she turned to look at the cultivators of Xihe Hall, including Ouyang Ziyun.

Ouyang Ziyun had been in a trance since earlier. He had been paying attention to Lu Zhou's every move. He was shocked by Lu Zhou's speed of progress, and when he recalled Jie Jin'an's words, his mood became even more complicated.

Finally, Lan Xihe asked, "What do you think?"

Ouyang Ziiyun regained his senses. He was the first to bow and said, "From now, Holy Maiden Xihe is the Hall Master of Xihe Hall. Greetings, Hall Master!"

"Greetings, Hall Master," the other cultivators from Xihe Hall echoed and fell to their knees in unison.

In fact, Lan Xihe had long been regarded as the Hall Master of Xihe Hall. It was just that previously her cultivation base was lacking so she could not legitimize her position. Now that her cultivation was sufficient and the time was right, if she did not act now, when should she act?

The cultivators of Xi He Hall had been waiting for this day for a long time.

Lan Xihe nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile, "There's no need for formalities."

The cultivators of Xihe Hall rose to their feet.

With this, Xihe Hall no longer had a commander now. A commander of a hall was only below the hall master. He or she would manage the affairs of the hall, not unlike the steward of a house.

Lan Xihe turned around and said, "The hall is short of a commander."

The crowd burst into a heated discussion immediately. One by one, they began to speak up.

"I'll do it! I'll do it! I'm willing to be the Commander of Xihe Hall and work for the Holy Maiden!"

"No, I'll do it! In terms of ability and cultivation, I'm not inferior to you!"

"It's up to you to decide this!"

Seeing the commotion, Qi Sheng said, "If you want to be the Commander of Xihe Hall, you can just compete in the Cloud Domain's arena."

Everyone nodded.

However, Lan Xihe shook her head and said, "No need."

"Do you have a suggestion, Holy Maiden?"

"I think Zhu Honggong, who has fled, is very suitable to be the Commander of Xihe Hall," Lan Xihe said.

"..."

The cultivators looked at each other in dismay. They were unresigned. After all, how could a timid and cowardly person be the Commander of the Xihe Hall?

Lan Xihe said in a clear voice, "In fact, I admired Miss Ye, who's by the White Emperor's side, more. If the White Emperor is willing to exchange with me. I'll be very grateful."

Ye Tianxin could not hide the surprised expression on her face at all. She was the Tower Master of the White Tower so Lan Xihe was most familiar with her.

Bai Zhaoju smiled. "I'm afraid that's inappropriate. Ye Tianxin is already the Commander of Rou Zhao Hall, after all."

'You can have the cowardly one…'

Since Bai Zhaoju had said so, Lan Xihe turned to Lu Zhou, who was still hovering in the sky, and asked, "Pavilion Master Lu, they're your disciples. What do you think?"

Before Lu Zhou could reply, Chi Biaonu said disapprovingly, "Although they're his disciples, they're now in the Great Void. Even the weakest among them are Dao Saints. They should have the freedom to pursue their goals."
