Origin Court: Accepting Disciples With A System

Chapter 143 Assumed Alter Ego

WHEN THE OTHER women heard the commotion from the hall, they immediately went inside only to see their sect master crying in front of a man.

“You son of a bitch! What did you do to our sect master?! How dare you defile her!” the Deputy Sect Master screamed and prepared herself for a deathmatch-like battle. “I only went out for a while and someone dared to make my sworn sister cry like this! This is unforgivable!”

“Stop,” Yang Lujia said as all the women froze in their steps. He turned around to face the other side and said, “I did not defile nor take her virginity or whatever you are thinking. I was only here to return the little girl to her cousin. I also don’t know why I am explaining.

“Anyway, it’s up to you whether you believe me or not. Besides, if I wanted to, I wouldn’t need to go through all these means and just defile everyone here as a man myself. After all, I am much stronger than all of you. You cannot defeat me. Unless you call the god of this world, nothing can stop me from doing anything I want.”

“Big brother!” Lan Mingyue suddenly shouted from behind. He then felt arms wrapping his waist. It caught him off guard that he almost ran away through the use of space. “Thank you.”

“Huh?” Yang Lujia was confused. “Why are you saying thanks to me? Besides, where did that little girl go? Although she’s somewhat of a brat, I still like her somewhat.”_.

“Host, that little girl is apparently a reality illusion manifested from the thoughts of a person who was having doubts about themselves, as if something was forcing them to choose between two things where they could only choose one. It was like this woman’s alter ego assumed the form of a little girl.”

“Daddy?” Yang Lujia realized, not expecting a response from the woman. “Then, that explains everything. It must be because she subconsciously separated her own alter ego who still loved her dad from her own real body, while her real body was the one that hated her father the most, right?”

“Yes, host.”

“Fortuniel, it’s good that you’re now able to answer some of the things I am confused about—very unlike before. I think you should do that often.”

“My knowledge is limited, host, but if you finish the missions given to your disciples and kill the culprit who ruined their lives, my knowledge will be further expanded and I will be able to help you as much as I can with your doubts.”

Yang Lujia nodded. Seemingly, he remembered something. “Oh, right. You didn’t give me the name of the person who was behind Sheng Ao, my future fourth disciple’s demise, right? It’s kind of strange that you haven’t.”

“That’s because it was already part of your mission, host, to learn about the truth. If the host is limited in his powers, the more he ascends to a higher realm, the more I, Fortuniel, will be limited in my abilities. However, the limitations of my abilities will only be obvious when you use them often, host.”

“I see, but for now, I think it’s no use for me to use your abilities at all. I am already strong enough to take care of myself, though. However, I couldn’t be that careless in this world, so I still have to rely on you somehow,” Yang Lujia said, his eyes glinting with peculiarity.

Fortuniel turned silent, while Yang Lujia slowly removed the arms that were wrapped around his waist and turned to look at the woman who was now in tears. “Lan Mingyue, little girl, is that you…”

“No and yes,” she replied, wiping the tears off her face.

Yang Lujia raised an eyebrow in wonder.

“I am still Lan Mingyue and at the same time, the little girl who claimed to be my cousin when she wasn’t,” responded Lan Mingyue. “However, since she wanted me to surrender to you, from now on, I will be under your care. You can do whatever you can with me, master.”

“Hey, that sounds a bit off,” Yang Lujia replied, with a strange expression on his face. “Nonetheless, I didn’t expect this to be as smooth as sailing through a still river. Rest assured, though, I don’t like being mistreated. Hence, I will never mistreat you or deprive you of anything. However, it’s a different matter if you betray me, because that will be the end of you.”

Lan Mingyue subconsciously shuddered when the man’s voice changed when he spoke his last sentence.

With a wave of his hand, the frozen women’s restrictions wore off. He then looked at them with a slight glare in his eyes. It all caused them to involuntarily kneel on the ground with horrified expressions.

‘Just how powerful is big brother to even cause a peak Saint like my sworn sister to bow down like that with just a glance?’ Lan Mingyue clicked her tongue in wonder as closed the distance between her and Yang Lujia.

“Big brother, what shall I do with them? You know I could kill them if you want to, but I doubt it because you want to conq—”

Yang Lujia shook his head. “No need for unnecessary killing. I don’t see anything wrong with putting them under your care. If I may ask, you are already a Saint King, right? You’re on a different level than the sect masters of the Blue Scale Sect and Saber Path Sect. It’s no wonder the others are afraid of you.”

When Lan Mingyue showed an innocent look, Yang Lujia could not help but laugh a little. If it was before she conquered this woman, he would have been slightly afraid of her, despite his strength. She really reminded him of his mother.

Lan Mingyue did not reply to him. She was just slightly surprised when he laughed. Afterward, she asked the others to go out.

“All of you, get out,” she ordered, her voice returning to how she sounded earlier. It even caused Yang Lujia to feel a bit stiff.

After they scurried out, she then faced Yang Lujia and asked, “Now that we’ve come to this, what do you want to do now, brother? Since you conquered me, although I don’t like men, I know you’re different from them.”

“Your implication being?” Yang Lujia’s interest was piqued.

“Big brother, when a man conquers a woman, it means that the woman can do anything for the man like a slave. That’s what I am taught. We can even do ‘that’ thing, big brother—if you want.”

Yang Lujia immediately felt cold sweat running amok on his back.
