My Master Knows It All

72: Chapter 68 Isn’t This Bad?_1 72: Chapter 68 Isn’t This Bad?_1 “Alright!

No problem!

It’s just that using my Five Elements Peak as a reward!

Sect Leader True Person, the reward you’re offering is just too meager, isn’t it?” Qiu Wuxing confidently agreed, believing that it was impossible for anyone to win.

Since that’s the case, why be timid!

One can’t lose when it comes to being verbally generous!

Bai Fengzi’s face showed a cold smile, thinking to himself: You’re only so arrogant because you know no one can win, aren’t you?

Bragging?

Competing in generosity?

Vying for grandeur?

Could I, as the Sect Leader, possibly lose to you?

“Qiu Peak Master is right,” Bai Fengzi said with a smile, “In light of this, offering just one Heavenly Fruit would indeed seem stingy on my part.

How about this!

If someone should win!

If the winner is a woman, I will become sworn sisters with her!

If the victor is a man…”

Cao Zhen subconsciously thought to interject: then become sworn siblings?

“I will become his Dao companion!” Bai Fengzi suddenly raised his voice very high, then scanned all the people present.

Many Peak Masters couldn’t help but silently give a thumbs up in their hearts, silently praising: Worthy of the Sect Leader!

Look at the way he boasts!

That grandeur!

Knowing full well no one could do it, yet still saying it with such boldness.

“This doesn’t seem right, does it?” Cao Zhen reflexively opened his mouth to refuse.

He had Xuan Zang’s repository of Buddhist teachings, and this time he just wanted to get some benefits.

To bring back a woman with a higher Cultivation Base than his to be a Dao companion?

It might easily undermine his authority as a husband.

Qiu Wuxing reassessed Cao Zhen, thinking to himself, He really is a stubborn and simpleton!

Speaking as if you could win!

Bai Fengzi knew that Cao Zhen was somewhat naive and was not angered by his interjection, but instead reflected on why he was engaging in such childish behavior with Qiu Wuxing.

“Since Sect Leader True Person and Qiu Peak Master are so ready to put it all on the line for our Hundred Peaks Sect, I can’t just stand by and watch, can I?”

When Cao Zhen saw the long-bearded man sitting in the foremost seat of the Hundred Peaks Sect Master stand up, he knew this must be Wang Yijian, Peak Master of the first One Peak and Flying Immortal Peak!

“How about this!

If someone can win, the victor can take whatever they fancy from our Flying Immortal Peak.

Even if they cleaned out Flying Immortal Peak, it wouldn’t matter!”

Wang Yijian stood with his hands behind his back, looking very proud as he looked at Qiu Wuxing, thinking: Now’s the time for me to speak up!

Although no one can win, Qiu Wuxing mentioned a reward, and if I remain silent, others might think that my Flying Immortal Peak is inferior to your Five Elements Peak afterward.

“How could I possibly accept this…” Cao Zhen couldn’t control the muscles on his face, his mouth almost split to his ears with laughter, and he quickly raised his hand to cover his mouth, trying to hide his smile.

Wang Yijian looked at Cao Zhen as if he was looking at a fool, thinking: What on earth is this simpleton so happy about?

At the same time, many others also looked at Cao Zhen as if they were looking at a fool.

Struggling to suppress his laugh, Cao Zhen waved his hands repeatedly, saying, “Don’t mind me, don’t mind me.

Does anyone else wish to contribute to our Hundred Peaks Sect?

If someone wins, I am also willing to donate my Four Treasures Peak to them.”

The Peak Masters of the third, fourth, and fifth Peaks initially thought that they should stand up too, otherwise wouldn’t that mean conceding their status to the first two Peaks?

But upon hearing Cao Zhen was willing to donate Four Treasures Peak, they suddenly felt that…

joining this guy would be a loss of standing!

Forget it!

Joining in now would just turn it into a farce.

Bai Fengzi also felt that Cao Zhen, this simpleton, had somehow derailed the situation, and quickly tapped his finger on the table, saying, “Let’s discuss the last item on today’s meeting agenda, that is, we also need to send people down the mountain to travel.”

Cao Zhen reflexively shrank back at the mention of sending someone down the mountain, as venturing out inevitably involved fighting and killing.

It seemed staying within the Sect was the safest option, and his duty was to focus on economic development and troop building at Four Treasures Peak.

Only when he had completed the Six God Armaments would he consider discussing the matter of leaving the mountain.

“Sect Leader True Person!

My disciple, Li Ke, is a rare talent in both Vermilion Bird Peak and the entire Hundred Peaks Sect!” Tu Zhuque was the first to energetically promote his disciple.

“If she descends the mountain, she will surely bring honor to our Hundred Peaks Sect!”

“Hehe…

I don’t think so.” Chen Qingluan chuckled behind her hand.

“Li Ke is not that young anymore and doesn’t even have a Dao Companion.

How capable can she be?

Compared to her, my disciple is different…

”

Tu Zhuque’s cheeks turned beet red with anger.

The fact that Li Ke still didn’t have a Dao Companion, something akin to an Achilles’ heel for her almost mother-like Master, had been hit dead on by the comment, and she became furiously embarrassed.

“You Chen!

We’re talking about descending the mountain!

What does a Dao Companion have to do with it?

Li Ke doesn’t have a Dao Companion because she has high standards due to her good qualities!

Not like your family that accepts any riff-raff!”

“Yes, yes, continue with the high standards, I’ll enjoy watching your Li Ke become an old maid!” Chen Qingluan retorted without mercy.

“Just be careful she doesn’t end up unwanted like you.”

Tu Zhuque threw her cup towards the other and roared, “Who says nobody wants Li Ke!

She told me herself that she has a suitor who is quite outstanding!

No one you have can compare to him!”

“Oh really?

Then let her bring him out for us to see,” Chen Qingluan dodged smoothly, landing next to Cao Zhen and couldn’t resist teasing him, “Just make sure the person she brings out isn’t as ‘excellent’ as Peak Master Cao.”

Not wanting to argue further with Chen Qingluan on this matter, Tu Zhuque turned to Bai Fengzi and said, “Sect Leader True Person, when you have some time, you should go see our Li Ke.

You will definitely find her to be the best choice.”

“Sect Leader True Person, our Five Elements Peak’s Shan Minglin…”

“Sect Leader True Person…”

Seeing nearly all the Peak Masters rise to eagerly sell their disciples, Cao Zhen suddenly realized that these people were only ever up early for profit.

Now that they were jumping out so eagerly to do so, there must be significant benefits involved!

Should he also start promoting someone?

Cao Zhen subconsciously thought about getting up to pitch someone but found that among his disciples, there didn’t seem to be a fitting candidate.

His eldest disciple would just kneel and kowtow at the drop of a hat—bringing him out would not look good…

His second disciple, when encountering a problem, would only cut people down and bury them behind the mountain—taking him outside would surely court disaster, and if they happened to encounter tough resistance, he could easily die out there.

His third disciple…

even worse!

If he went out, he probably wouldn’t engage in scholarly debates but would look for cliff-jumping adventures at famous mountains and rivers.

With his current level of cultivation, the only result would be death from a fall!

And as for his fourth disciple, his mind was solely focused on eating.

What would he debate outside, culinary arts?

Forget it!

It’s better if everyone just stays home and focuses on troop building until we’ve completed the Six God Armaments, and then we can all leave together!

Cao Zhen, feeling that there really wasn’t a suitable person, ultimately didn’t lift his rear off the chair.

Bai Fengzi, looking around at everyone, said, “Since everyone is so enthusiastic, it’s hard to make a decision today.

Therefore, I will send out a selection team to visit each peak and select the most suitable candidates for debate representing our Hundred Peaks Sect!

The selection of disciples will begin in three days.

You have three days to make arrangements!

This meeting is adjourned!”
