Origin Court: Accepting Disciples With A System

Although Yang Lujia was surprised by the beauty Xia Hua possessed, hell, he was even attracted to her beauty, he just didn't want to hinder any of his plans because of women.

As he always advised himself, women are harbingers of endless troubles—especially someone of her caliber. Even if he would pursue her, he was afraid he could survive. In order not to hurt her feelings, if his life would be in danger in the future, he'd best not acquaint himself with her.

However, after seeing the surprised look of Yang Lujia, Xia Hua felt relieved that he still felt somehow attracted to her. With that being said, she was again disappointed when he shook his head and turned his stare away from her.

Why would such a man like him exist in this world?

'Am I not beautiful enough? What does he want?'

Xia Hua was starting to question her beauty at the moment. Even when she looked at City Lord Ice, they were bound to be heaven and earth when compared to each other. City Lord Ice might be beautiful, but she was still a million miles away from Xia Hua's beauty which not only encompassed physical beauty but also the charm of attractiveness.

City Lord Ice even looked at Xia Hua in a new light. She admired her beauty. Although she did not concern herself with whatever face she would have, it still went to show that she was still a woman.

And women had this tendency to compare themselves to other people—others even incurring envy and hatred towards another that was prettier than they were.

Sighing, Xia Hua reverted her appearance to what people knew of her—the Xia Hua they knew of. She then said, "It's useless to expose my real face to you lot. What's the point, anyway?"

Nevertheless, when Yang Lujia heard this, he looked at her in a new light. This girl was actually so sensible that she was willing to give up her beauty rather than flaunting it to everybody. It meant that beauty meant nothing to her but only something that could boost her ego—showing that her character wasn't something like other beautiful women would do—looking down on others who did not look pleasant in their eyes.

"No, you look more beautiful earlier. You should change your face back to your real one. Otherwise, others would also find it hard to look at you in the same way again. Let them get used to your beauty, including me." Yang Lujia showed a sincere smile that made Xia Hua blush in return.

Not understanding what she meant by her blushing, Yang Lujia then ignored her and looked at the people around him. These people, the City Lords, City Ancestors, Yin Hang included who was looking at him with reverent eyes, the Wang and Xia Siblings, all treated him with utmost respect. Especially at the time when and how Xia Jieke treated him during that banquet last time.

Hence, he decided on one thing. He didn't want to implicate them but nevertheless wanted them to know at least. Waving his hand, he signaled the other people in the hall to go out.

This confused the others and they looked at Yang Lujia with inquisitive gazes.

Now, it was Yang Lujia's turn to sigh. He then said, "Since Ms. Hua decided to show her real face to all of you and I trust all of you won't betray me in the future, I've decided to let you see my true face as well."

Brownie's flickered with delight. He knew that although he was handsome in his human form, no one would be able to contend against the handsomeness Yang Lujia would bring. If women's beauty could initiate a war, Yang Lujia's appearance could bring peace to an entire world.

"Heh! You're very lucky to see the real face of His Highness!" Brownie boasted that he incurred a smack from Yang Lujia in the head. He then pouted and just lay down quietly in Yang Lujia's arms. His subservience almost made the people present laugh.

Brownie might be a fearless one. But it was only limited to others. When others would reprimand him, he would always cower down. However, this was not the focus for everyone at the moment.

They all set their eyes on Yang Lujia whose face was rapidly changing.

Almost a split second after Yang Lujia finished the process of altering his face back to the original one, everyone gulped. Soon enough, the women were trying to catch their breaths.

Yang Lujia's real face carried what royalties should have. The people now got the reason why the dog in Yang Lujia's arms was calling him 'His Highness'. It turned out that not only had he had a blood-curling family background, but his face also was majestic and was worthy of being addressed by Brownie as such.

His skin was light-toned, like Xia Hua, it wasn't pale white. It was such that it was enough to regard his skin beautifully white. This even magnified the divine aura surrounding him more.

"Now that's more like it! Hahaha!" Brownie reacted and even clapped his front claws before licking them.

GULP.

Everyone actually gulped twice.

DRIP. DRIP.

Girls were even worse. Almost all of them were drooling except Xia Hua who was looking at Yang Lujia incredulously.

Yang Lujia shook his head and smiled at them, showing his dimples that even amplified his already-beautiful figure.

"AHHH!" A servant woman suddenly fainted in response.

Another even followed the same fate as her. Although he ordered everyone earlier to go out, it was not limited to the servants who are doing errands for these distinguished people in the hall.

SPEECHLESS.

Yang Lujia was stunned and speechless and even his smile stiffened. "Aren't they overreacting?"

"Chief Justice Cao's handsomeness is unparalleled!" Xia Hua praised as her face blushed. When the men saw how beautiful she was with her real face, they even felt like they were lucky they were here to witness such a sight.

What they could not imagine was someone like her would actually walk around their continent. Hence, everyone would be able to see her beauty. Even Xia Jieke's heart jolted after seeing his stepsister's real face. However, he still looked at her the same way he did before. This went the same with Xia Jiali.

"Everyone, I think I have already said everything that I needed to say. Today, I will once again venture into a new journey. Do not worry. I will have all of you come out soon. It's just that the time isn't ripe yet. I still have things to settle," Yang Lujia suddenly said after letting out a light cough, breaking everyone out of their stupor.

"Your Highness, you're going out again? Why don't you let this dog out then? I might be able to assist you with something," Brownie immediately proposed, his eyes twinkling.

He had long found staying in this place to be boring. Moreover, he had already unsealed his cultivation realm to the Saint Emperor Realm. There was really not much he could do, especially with the suppression of the Realm of Spacetime that had befallen him.

"You want to come out?" Yang Lujia was surprised by Brownie's proposal, but he did not immediately agree to it. "If you want me to agree to it, you also have to agree to every order I give you once we venture out."

"Alright!" Brownie happily clapped his claws. His claps only produced tender sounds, just like the soft sound when two pieces of froth were clapped.

"You agree too readily," Yang Lujia said as he revealed an evil smile.

Even Brownie found it hard to breathe after seeing this smile. It seemed like he really fell into a pit right now. However, he had no choice. He really wanted to go out. Hence, he could only follow Yang Lujia's rules.

Everyone just laughed at Brownie's strange expression. They knew that he was doomed this time as Yang Lujia seemed to want him to do something against his principles.

"Anyway, I will soon visit again. I will need to visit the other continents as well."

"What? Are there actually other continents other than ours? This world was so big that it could accommodate more than one continent?!"

Everyone was taken aback.

"Yes, while you name your continent the Continent of Dawn. There are also two other continents called the Spirit Race Continent and The Shadow Continent."

"What? Did Chief Justice Cao really save the Spirit Race back then?" Xia Zhiguang sounded surprised because they thought everyone in the Spirit Race already died as they saw the fate of their race when they visited them in Da Sishen. "Moreover, what's the Shadow Continent?"

"Yes, I did save them from their plight in exchange for their subservience to me. However, I already said to them that I won't force them to do anything and they can live however they want to," Yang Lujia replied. "As for the Shadow Continent, you need not know about them. That continent was currently being led by three people. If you want to, you can pay them a visit as well, but the three of them are a bit eccentric, so you better prepare yourselves. Nevertheless, if they dared hurt you, I will make them pay more than how hell would punish their sinners!"

As he said the last sentence, his eyes were flickering nonstop.

However, his expression softened when he suddenly sensed an aura from within the palace. "Old lady!" He even revealed an excited expression.

Old Lady.

Yes, it was the old lady whose son was accidentally killed by him. He was glad. He was glad that she was still holding on to her life.
