Origin Court: Accepting Disciples With A System

Chapter 68 Suspicions, Coveted



THE WHOLE PALACE turned silent when Shu Fan requested to duel Lin Diyu. As a prodigy, he would have some affinity with other prodigies. He felt like Lin Diyu was as strong as him if not stronger even.

However, contrary to everyone’s expectations, Lin Diyu said, “I refuse. I am no match for you. You win.”

“What? He’s giving up already? Isn’t he so timid?”

“What a loser. I always thought he was strong because he was handsome. Turns out he’s just another cowardly fellow.”

“Right. I even thought of bringing him into my room.”

“Me, too.”

Lin Diyu, who heard the blabber of ladies, almost had his face explode in diffidence. When it came to ladies, his mind would always go astray to grimy thoughts.

When Yang Lujia saw this, he rolled his eyes. True, ladies are attractive to him. They’re just too lethal when they use you or used against you. He had read several light novels before. He knew that these ladies would sooner or later become the bait of their enemy to lure them into a trap. Or become the troublesome goal to chase after when they’re taken away by the male lead’s rivals.

“City Palace Lord, may I ask you something?” Soul Demon grinned as though he discovered something. “We heard that you’re injured. How are you now?”.

Xia Zhiguang’s face did not change whatsoever. He just glanced at the Soul Demon with a smile on his face. “Why do you ask, Brother Soul Demon?”

Soul Demon shrugged and said, “I am just concerned about the City Palace Lord’s health. After all, if the Underworld Creatures would again attack Da Sishen, perhaps in the coming years, we don’t want you or everyone else to be handicapped by them, do we?”

Before Xia Zhiguang could answer, Xia Jieke walked away a couple of steps from Yang Lujia and stopped. “You’re not even close with my father. From that alone, you don’t have the right to be concerned. What is your motive?”

Xia Zhiguang also thought the same. However, he couldn’t show weakness in front of everybody, lest these two-faced people would covet his position and besiege the entire Death City, especially the Northern Territory. They had always tried to ensue war with Death City, but it was only up to that point. After all, they always feared him.

“You don’t have to worry, Young Lord Xia Jieke. I am merely trying to ask City Palace Lord out of concern alone. I don’t have any motive at all… except…”

Soul Demon’s eyes flashed. Immediately, he disappeared from where he stood. Xia Jieke was infuriated and also vanished from his spot.

“Damn you!”

Clutching small needles in between his fingers, Soul Demon threw them at the City Palace Lord’s direction. However, just as they were about to reach the latter, it stopped midair.

Everyone, who was watching, gasped. This was so fucking intense! Even Yang Lujia was anticipating a good show to happen.

“Soul Demon,” Xia Jieke muttered slowly, almost inaudible. Silence ruled the whole place as he continued, “Do you think I didn’t see through you, Soul Demon? Do you think I won’t dare kill you?”

At a leisurely pace, he walked towards the other party, back with his calm expression and his hands resting on his back.

Soul Demon, who locked his gaze into the Xia Jieke’s eyes, was terrified.

He actually couldn’t move, while the other party was closing the distance between them!

“Do you understand now?” Xia Jieke said, but Soul Demon couldn’t talk because he was rendered immobile. “Alright, I’ll take your silence as a yes. If you really do, you may die now.”

“Stop!” Runic Demon shouted but he was too late to take action.

POOF!

Everyone couldn’t help but tremble. Xia Jieke was still always the ruthless Xia Jieke. With his words alone, he could kill someone at the peak of the God Emperor Realm.

‘So how strong is he?’ That was what the Runic Demon first thought.

Even Xia Zhiguang was quite surprised and at the same time impressed with his son’s overbearing posture. He truly didn’t nurture him for nothing. In fact, only he knew the cultivation level of his son. No one else knew, even Xia Jiali or Xia Hua.

Only the soul of the Soul Demon remained. Fortunately, his soul was able to escape from Xia Jieke and was hidden by Runic Demon. This caused Xia Jieke to almost attack the latter but was stopped by his father to not ruin the banquet. Otherwise, the Annual Death Ceremony would not become so harmonious the next day.

And the Welcoming Banquet continued with the Northern Territory wearing grim faces. After all, they almost lost one of their four demon generals. On the other hand, they didn’t even succeed in probing into knowing the City Palace Lord’s present condition.

“Sir Cao Nima,” Lu Daiyu reached out. “Why don’t you explode while eating so much food filled with spiritual energy? Those two kids as well and that small puppy was even more baffling.”

Yang Lujia then said with a grave face, “Why? Do you want us to explode?”

“Of course not! I’m just wondering,” Lu Daiyu said, her face reddish.

“Mind your own business,” Yang Lujia said as he continued to eat. “Food and sleep before women.”

Lu Daiyu stomped her feet and snorted. She just went back to Lin Diyu’s side to talk with him. Cao Xiaoma was still more sensible than his master. Even since she knew Cao Nima was only 15 years old, she already gained the guts to talk to him first. If it was before when she thought she was an old monster, she wouldn’t even bother talking to him first.

Afterward, Yang Lujia was even bothered by other people. They were trying to curry favor with him because for them, he had gotten close with the Xia Family having befriended the two siblings.

On the other hand, there were also others who were plotting to steal all his treasures. They did not believe that Yang Lujia had no other treasures more valuable than the Amaryllis Flare. Hence, they thought of assassinating him in the night.

While they were walking back to the accommodation rooms, Yang Lujia noticed those who were following them. “Courting death,” he muttered under his breath.

“You know you can stay with me in my room, Brother Xiaoma,” Lu Daiyu said, winking at Lin Diyu.

This caused the latter to blush. It never occurred to him that a girl would be the first one to make a move on him and not him on a girl. It was somewhat embarrassing.

When Yang Lujia saw this scene, he was speechless. These two were really flirting! He then rolled his eyes. Although he didn’t quite like women because they would give him future troubles, he wouldn’t impose this on his disciples. If they wanted to have their women, he wouldn’t stop them.

But on the condition that if they were in danger, they would save their own women.

Too troublesome.

Seeing Lin Diyu in a trance, he threw him inside the Blood World. It was the same with Long Guang who was already sleeping. However, for Long Guang, he was expecting something like a super level-up. After all, Long Guang ate quite a lot of food filled with spiritual energy and he cultivated the Dragon Emperor Scripture which would only require him to sleep in order to get stronger.

As for Feng Huang, he could only let her lie on Brownie’s body. The latter didn’t mind anyway. After all, he was too tired eating and bickering would only consume more of his energy. Brownie could only compromise and let the little girl lie on his small body like a pillow.

When everyone was finally asleep, he silently placed restrictions around their room. It was at least a hundred-layered array formation. Whoever entered the area of the array formation would definitely die unless they were beyond the God Emperor Realm, a Saint Realm at that.

But first, Yang Lujia thought of checking the Anathema Staff. When he pulled it out from the system, its eerie aura spread out the entire room. Luckily, the room was filled with restrictions. Otherwise, he would undoubtedly alarm the bosses in Death City.

It was truly a staff designed for women. He could understand as the staff was previously owned by the Mother of Curses. However, the owner could freely alter its appearance to his or her own likes. As for him, he wanted to make it suitable for men.

Previously, its bottom part had the shape of a diamond, the upper two sides being shorter in height than the lower. Atop it was a beautiful ruby-like crystal that seemed to be the core of curses. Beside it were chocolate-brown wings whose lengths parried the size of the crystal. These wings’ edges appeared like small snakeheads, which reminded him of Medusa’s hair from the Greek Myth on Earth.

When Yang Lujia tried to enclose the crystal with the wings, it eventually lit up. A parchment paper then appeared above it. When he tried to say a random name, it actually appeared on it.
