My Master Knows It All

are they breaking up?”

“The Hundred Peaks Sect just recently got the Six Evils, and in less than a day, it’s back to the Five Evils?”

“What?

Isn’t it enough that our Hundred Peaks Sect has the Five Evils?

You want a Six Evils too?”

“Yes, Peak Master Cao did the right thing.

It’s not too late for him to realize he’s lost his way and come back.”

Li Ke listened to Cao Zhen’s nauseating declarations and felt her skin crawl.

She quietly transmitted her voice through a secret channel, “You truly are nauseating.”

Cao Zhen immediately felt displeased and responded through the secret channel, “Nauseating?

This is called being deeply affectionate.

I’m saying, I’ve made such a huge sacrifice to make this act look real, and uttered such affectionate words.

Don’t you think you should compensate me with ten thousand spirit stones?”

Li Ke was at a loss for words.

“Compensate you?

I had to listen to such nauseating words and forcefully hold back.

My sacrifice is huge.

You should be the one giving me ten thousand spirit stones.”

Cao Zhen no longer discussed the issue of the ten thousand spirit stones with Li Ke.

He suddenly discovered that many people around him no longer looked at him with as much hostility.

How many people did his five brothers and sisters offend on regular days?

However, there were still many people looking at him with the same hostile gaze.

Could these perhaps be disciples from the peaks where he sold divine weapons or jealous ‘rivals’ feeling bitter?

“Smooth talker.” Not far away, a young disciple murmured quietly to his companion, “He can actually say those words.”

“Exactly, truly shameless, saying those words in front of so many people!”

“And yet, Immortal Li Ke actually seems to enjoy it!”

“Immortal Li Ke couldn’t have been deceived by his sweet nothings, could she?”

“It’s not impossible.

Think about it, Immortal Li Ke is purely focused on cultivation, she must be simple-minded…”

Hearing their words, Cao Zhen could only think of five words to describe these people—so naive, so innocent.

Li Ke simple-minded?

If she’s simple-minded, you all are single-celled organisms.

At a distance, Tu Zhuque revealed a smile.

Very good, his disciple indeed understood the situation.

By making Cao Zhen disassociate himself from the Five Evils of Hundred Peaks, with the support of his Vermilion Bird Peak, Cao Zhen’s reputation could gradually be recovered.

What remained was to enhance the strength of Cao Zhen and Four Treasures Peak.

After the Five Evils of Hundred Peaks left, Cao Zhen discovered that he still couldn’t find peace.

Since Li Ke was the star of the day, people continuously approached her, attempting to curry favor.

There were even some who were prepared to take a more indirect approach, thinking of using her husband’s connection.

He really wanted to tell these people that schmoozing was useless; they needed to offer something substantial because the Immortal they all admired admitted herself that she loved money the most.

Moreover, apart from these people, the Peak Master of Immortal Pen Peak, Song Xianbi, and the Peak Master of Wonderful Pen Peak, He Miaobi, also brought their disciples over to cozy up to him.

They kept at it until the Golden Core Club meeting ended, still talking incessantly.

“If Peak Master Cao is free, he must visit our Immortal Pen Peak.

We will certainly provide a hospitable welcome.”

“Peak Master Cao, if you have time, please also visit our Wonderful Pen Peak.

We will welcome you with the highest standard.”

Cao Zhen, really annoyed by these two Peak Masters’ pestering, could only reply, “Certainly, certainly.

When I have time, I will definitely visit.”

“Then, Peak Master Cao, when can we expect the honor of your visit?” At this moment, Song Xianbi didn’t at all resemble a Peak Master, even using the word “honor” with him.

Cao Zhen also felt helpless.

The two Peak Masters had always been polite, and had even spoken on his behalf before, so he didn’t feel it was appropriate to chase them away.

Fortunately, Tu Zhuque’s arrival finally relieved him.

“Ke, you and Cao Zhen, come with me, I have something to tell you.”

The Golden Core Club had finally ended, and she at last had time to speak with Cao Zhen.

Although Cao Zhen was a Peak Master, he was also the daoist partner of her disciple, so calling him directly by his name elicited no objections from anyone.

“If that’s the case, then I’ll return to Immortal Pen Peak and await Peak Master Cao’s visit.”

“Peak Master Cao, we’ll be heading back to Wonderful Pen Peak too, waiting for Peak Master Cao.”

Seeing this, Song Xianbi and He Miaobi had no choice but to take their leave.

It didn’t take long for both of them, along with their respective disciples, to leave Vermilion Bird Peak, each casting a disgruntled look at the other as they headed toward two different Immortal Cloud Carriages.

Their peaks were located in opposite directions, east and west.

Song Xianbi, having just boarded the cloud carriage with Chang Tiance, disembarked soon after at the next stop.

Chang Tiance looked at his master with confusion, “Master, weren’t we heading back to Immortal Pen Peak?

Why have we suddenly got off?”

Song Xianbi explained matter-of-factly, “Getting off to change carriages to head to Four Treasures Peak, of course.”

“Four Treasures Peak?” Chang Tiance asked puzzled, “Master, didn’t you just say we were going back to await Peak Master Cao’s visit?”

“Are you stupid?” Song Xianbi looked at his disciple with exasperation and said, “With a calligraphy master like Peak Master Cao, how can we wait for him to visit us?

Naturally, we should take the initiative to visit Peak Master Cao.

When I said that we were waiting for Peak Master Cao at Immortal Pen Peak just now, that was simply to mislead the people from Wonderful Pen Peak.

Only then will they obediently go back and wait for Peak Master Cao, while we can meet him before they do.”

Chang Tiance instantly understood, exclaiming, “Master, you’re brilliant!”

As one of the Top Ten Peaks, Vermilion Bird Peak naturally had many disciples.

With the Golden Core Club over, there were disciples to take care of everything.

Cao Zhen and Li Ke followed Tu Zhuque into a side hall.

Once a disciple of Vermilion Bird Peak brought Fragrant Tea and left, Tu Zhuque looked at Cao Zhen and nodded slightly, “I am relieved that you have severed ties with the Five Evils of Hundred Peaks.”

Cao Zhen offered an awkward smile, thinking to himself that she might be relieved now, but wait until she learns that they hadn’t cut ties at all and that her beloved disciple had even acted in a play with them—if she doesn’t get so angry that it makes her ill.

Tu Zhuque’s gaze upon Cao Zhen had softened much more than before.

She tapped gently on the armrest of the wooden chair, slowly beginning to speak, “As a Peak Master, you are certainly a good match for our Ke.

However, your Four Treasures Peak ranks too low.

The day for the new ranking of Hundred Peaks is not far off.

I hope you can elevate Four Treasures Peak’s rank a bit more.

That way, it wouldn’t be demeaning to our Ke when spoken of.”

“Yes, I will definitely do my best to raise the rank of our Four Treasures Peak in this Hundred Peaks ranking,” Cao Zhen promptly nodded to show his stance.

After all, Li Ke had given him 200,000 Spirit Stones to put on an act; having taken the money, he surely had to play his part well.

Besides, the more people that knew about his intention to push for a higher rank for Four Treasures Peak, the higher they believed it would be, the betting odds for the peak not rising in rank would be more favorable.

That way, he could earn even more.

His goal was to make everyone around him believe that he was aiming for a higher rank!

This was the only way to deceive everyone.
