Chapter 158 Natasha, whose heart had become twisted
On the way back, Roderick and Natasha didn’t interact much with each other.
After the two of them returned to their own courtyard, Natasha entered her room without saying a word.
After returning to her room, Natasha thought back to how Linley hadn’t paid any attention to her from the beginning. Natasha grew even more resentful.
Filled with hatred, Natasha began to smash the things in the room.
Bang!
Bang, bang!!!!
A few clear sounds rang out within the room, and quite a few pieces of jade were smashed into pieces.
The entire room was filled with jade shards, as well as tattered cloth.
The hatred in her heart had reached its peak. In her heart, she should have been unattainable. She should have been the moon hanging in the night sky. She could only be admired, but not touched.
But even after she lowered her head, Linley still didn’t want to look at her again.
This made her feel an unprecedented sense of humiliation.
She felt that lowering her head was already a great gift to Linley, but Linley didn’t pay any attention to her at all.
Every time she thought of this, the hatred in Natasha’s heart grew deeper.
Bang, bang, bang!!!
A few more crisp sounds rang out as she smashed a few more things.
After smashing a few more things, Natasha sat on the bed that she had already broken, gradually calming down her emotions.
As Natasha’s body moved back and forth, she finally returned to peace.
But under this peace, her heart also became more and more twisted.
Soon, in this twisted mind, a very bold and terrible idea emerged in her mind.
And since this idea appeared in her mind, she could never forget it.
Natasha even felt that this idea was very feasible, she had a lot of room for manoeuvre.
Thinking of this, Natasha’s expression was like a crazy demon, showing a strange smile in her room.
If anyone else saw this smile, they would definitely be so frightened that they would shudder.
This was because this sort of expression wasn’t something an ordinary person could make. It was more like the expression of a demon from the Infernal Realm.
And this demon’s name was Lucifer. The sin he represented was the sin of arrogance.
…
Time passed very quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was the day before Roderick had prepared the banquet for Linley.
On this day, Linley had finally mastered the two top-tier mystic abilities that the system had rewarded him with. But before he could be happy, a knock on the door rang out in his ears.
Puzzled, Linley walked out of the room and opened the door to the courtyard.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Roderick kneel down to him, then kowtow respectfully:
“Master Linley, above all! Please accept this kowtow from your disciple!”
Just as he was about to kowtow, Linley held him up, not allowing him to kowtow.
Roderick felt Linley help him up, and his excitement was filled with desolation. He knew that Linley didn’t want to accept him as a disciple.
But he was still unwilling to accept this. He asked Linley, “Master, why don’t you accept me as a disciple?”
Hearing Roderick’s question, Linley felt rather helpless. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to accept Roderick as his disciple, but that he really didn’t know how to teach others. His disciples had only been promoted because of the sudden enlightenment quota the system had given him.
He wanted to accept more disciples, but the system had only given him so many slots. There was nothing he could do about it.
Thus, when he heard Roderick’s question, he replied, “I need to think about it for now.”
After hearing Linley’s reply, Roderick let out a sigh of relief.
He had thought that Linley would decisively reject him, but he hadn’t expected Linley to say that he would consider it.
Although Linley still had a very high chance of not accepting him as a disciple, the fact that Linley hadn’t rejected him right now meant that there was still room for negotiation.
Thinking up to this point, Roderick once more said, “Then can you give a lecture to the disciples of the Li Fire Sect?”
When Roderick’s words reached Linley’s ears, Linley immediately replied, “Go find Walton! Ask him to teach the disciples of the Li Fire Sect. When he arrives, just tell him that I instructed him and he will do as I say.”
In truth, Linley had wanted to teach the disciples of the Li Fire Sect as well, but he truly had no experience in this area. In order not to delay others, he had no choice but to send Walton.
Before meeting Linley, Walton had learned everything by himself. He hadn’t used anyone else to help him.
In addition, after he became powerful, he had taught quite a few students. Thus, no one was more suitable than Walton to teach the disciples of the Li Fire Sect.
After hearing Linley’s answer, Roderick felt a bit disappointed. Linley hadn’t agreed to teach, but had instead asked Walton to teach.
Although Walton was very powerful as well, compared to Linley, he was far inferior.
After all, even Walton was Linley’s disciple.
However, Roderick didn’t reveal any hint of dissatisfaction. With Walton’s teaching, the disciples of the Li Fire Sect would be able to rise to a higher level.
Only, because it wasn’t Linley who was personally teaching, he felt slightly regretful.
Linley looked at Roderick in front of him. He knew what was on Roderick’s mind, but he wouldn’t say it out loud. He just quietly waited for Roderick to speak.
After thinking for a moment, Roderick bid Linley farewell. He also told him that tomorrow was the farewell party for him, and that Linley had to go.
Hearing Roderick’s words, Linley agreed as well.
After all, he had already made a promise to someone else. It wouldn’t be good if he didn’t keep his promise.
Although right now, even if he didn’t keep his promise, no one would dare to say anything, but if he did, he would be letting down the blood and sweat of others.
Thus, Linley still decided to go.
After watching Roderick leave, Linley returned to his room and began to think about where his first stop would be the day after tomorrow.
There were two roads leading from the Li Fire Sect to Linzi City. One was a small road, and the other was a large road.
If he took the small road, the first stop would be Lagos town. Supposedly, there were some of the most delicious snacks in the entire East, and at this time, it was the season when hundreds of flowers bloomed.
If he took the large road, the first stop would be Balchik city, which was the transportation hub of the entire Eastern continent. Because of this, it would be much more prosperous than other places.
After pondering for a period of time, Linley decided to take the small road. Not only was the scenery there much better, but it was also a faster way to reach Linzi City.
As far as Linley was concerned, the first thing he had to worry about was how to get to Linzi City quickly.
Linley was in his room, pondering. Outside, the disciples of the Li Fire Sect were carrying the wine they needed for tomorrow’s banquet.
Time flew by, and soon, night arrived.
All of the disciples of the Li Fire Sect had left their main hall, leaving behind only a few ordinary disciples to guard the wine.
Right at this moment, a graceful figure dressed in a black nightgown arrived at the main hall of the Li Fire Sect.
She tossed and turned a few times, and the ordinary disciples who had been guarding the wine all fainted.
The figure took off her mask when she saw that there was no one else in the hall.
As the mask was taken off, Natasha’s face was revealed.
