Origin Court: Accepting Disciples With A System

Cardinal Lin was furious about how the Saint Prince of the Human Emperor Palace tried to harass one of their own. If they were really a righteous church, they would not allow others to bully their kind.

If they were to let others look down on them while these people continued their abusive deeds on their own, they would never become righteous people.

Cardinal Lin had endless admiration for the Holy Light Emperor and the story of how the latter became who he was now. It was all because he helped an injured but powerful expert before recuperating in his residence. Back then, he was still an innocent child. He had seen all the atrocities in life and saw how his parents were killed by a group of people, but he vowed to himself that he would not take revenge.

Because his parents wouldn't want to become like that as well.

The level of righteousness that the Holy Light Emperor had shown touched the hearts of all cardinals, including Cardinal Lin himself—who was assigned to oversee the Second Region belonging to the Holy Light Palace.

The Sacred Region or called by the people outside the Second Region had five cities. These five cities were known as Sacred Cities and every one of them had an archbishop managing them. Each Sacred City had its Churches of Light and one of them was ruled by the archbishop called the Ruler Church.

However, among these five cities, one of them had several Churches of Light but no Ruler Church. This specific city only had the Main Church and it was located at the edge of the Sacred Region, at the point where the core of the array formation was stationed at.

Ruling this city and the Main Church was Cardinal Lin himself. He had only one right-hand man and that was the leader of the archbishops. And at this moment, Cardinal Lin sent himself off to meet Saint Prince Huang himself. He wanted to confront the kid and tell him that their Sacred Region was not a playground for him to good around and play.

With his strength, it only took him at most three days to arrive at the city where the Lan Clan was the ruler of all the other families. However, due to the health decline of their family head, their ranking as the strongest family in the Sacred City had sunk to rock bottom.

This was also the reason why Lan Mingyue suddenly came back after entering the Void Ground. Apparently, she still had contact with her mother—and her mother said that her father had been ill for several years already. She just wanted her to know of this matter.

Because of this, Lan Mingyue's emotions grew complicated as she hurried to the Sacred Region. She already had the Bracelet of Light and had entered the Sacred Region unimpeded. Other than that, due to her revealed talent before, people already knew who she was. She was basically the most beautiful woman in the Sacred Region.

After arriving at their clan, her heart was filled with remorse, guilt, and still, anger. She was still angry about her father cheating on her mother and even decided against letting him explain anything. He did explain something to her, but she didn't want to listen.

Excuses.

Lies.

She knew everything that would come out of her father's mouth would be a lie.

After several years of not seeing her, the clan was happy to know that Lan Mingyue had been doing great, especially her mother. They were a happy family and they seemed to be very close to each other—only some of them were a bit notorious.

This was because Lan Mingyue thought her father was the most decent man she knew.

"That Saint Prince Huang is going overboard!" Lan Mingyue's mother, Lan Xiu, was infuriated after talking with Saint Prince Huang.

Saint Prince Huang actually regarded Lan Mingyue as very important to him. Not only was her talent superb, but her appearance was also top-notch. Compared to the women he had in the Human Emperor Palace, however, he felt like she was quite lacking.

Lan Mingyue wasn't just his absolute type. This woman always had a cold look on her face. Even he, who was the son of the current Human Emperor, would shudder a bit due to how sharp and cold her eyes were.

He didn't dare offend her, but he knew that he could not let this kind of woman pass by his hands. He felt it was necessary for him to make her his concubine after conquering her. However, after meeting with her and even touching her butt, he was ruthlessly smacked in the head. However, due to his overall combat prowess being strong, naturally, Lan Mingyue did not have the strength to resist.

If not for the archbishop overseeing the place, Lan Mingyue would have been doomed. She had almost lost her sanctity and even recalled the trauma of his father cheating on her mother.

"Yueyue! You must escape now! That beast! We can't allow that beast to sully your womanhood!" her mother insisted, with tears crawling down her cheeks. "Just leave us alone here! We can manage!"

Lan Mingyue knew that her mother was lying. If she really left, the entire clan could only be doomed. If only they had the backing of the cardinal or 'that' person she had pledged her allegiance to. She then looked through the window from inside her room and sighed heavily.

"Mother, I know you're worried about me. However, this is also my responsibility as the only daughter of the family head. Whether or not I want to, I still have to do it. Otherwise, our clan would perish—"

"That's right! Lan Mingyue should surrender herself to Saint Prince Huang! How could she not like Saint Prince Huang? He is an existence who is only below a peak Saint Emperor! Becoming his concubine is the best thing you could do for our family!"

Just as she was about to finish speaking, a majestic voice interrupted the mother and daughter's talk. It was the Grand Elder himself. This was the man who had always hoped for his son to become the family head after Lan Mingyue's father.

Seeing him appear like this and even encouraging Lan Mingyue, the latter could only clench her fist with furrowed brows. Meanwhile, her mother's eyes were already very red as she shot a glare at the Grand Elder of the clan.

The Grand Elder then grinned when he saw this. "What? You don't want to?"
