My Master Knows It All

Instead, she continued to fly forward, directly into a dense forest, and Cao Zhen could only closely follow.

Behind them, Little Beiyan quietly turned around and shouted to everyone, “I saw it, Master and Mistress have gone into the small woods.”

In the small woods, Cao Zhen finally caught up with Li Ke and said with a speechless expression, “I mean, you could’ve just told me that we are ending our fake role as a couple.

It’s just a simple matter, was there really a need for you to run this far?”

“End?

Who told you that I’m ending our pretense as a couple?

I gave you so many Spirit Stones just to pretend for a few days, wouldn’t I be at a loss if you stopped now?

If you don’t pretend anymore, won’t Master nag me to death!”

Cao Zhen was baffled, “If it’s not about that, then what did you call me out here for?”

“I have a question for you,” Li Ke asked with a serious look on her face, “Do you know the senior Long Aotian?”

“Long what Aotian?” Cao Zhen asked with a feigned look of confusion, “Do we have such a senior in the Hundred Peaks Sect?

I’ve never heard of them.

Which peak’s senior are they?”

“Very good, it seems you’re not foolish, knowing not to disclose the existence of senior Long Aotian to outsiders,” Li Ke remarked, nodding slightly.

The next moment, a golden light suddenly surged around her.

Gold Light Spell!

Li Ke looked at Cao Zhen and said softly, “I can perform the Gold Light Spell, which you probably saw at the Hundred Peaks Sect contest, and I also saw your Gold Light Spell at the Golden Core Club event.

Now, only we two know the Gold Light Spell, and there’s no need for you to deny senior Long Aotian’s existence.”

With wide eyes, Cao Zhen feigned surprise and exclaimed, “Gold Light Spell, so you can actually perform the Gold Light Spell…

How do you know the Gold Light Spell and about senior Long Aotian’s existence…

Could it be, could it be that you have also received the inheritance from senior Long Aotian?”

“You could say that, but the inheritance I received is different from what you got.” Li Ke thought for a moment but didn’t mention that she could communicate directly with senior Long Aotian, nor did she reveal the fact that Long Aotian was still alive.

Some things are better left unknown than known.

Cao Zhen’s cultivation base was still too weak.

Knowing that Long Aotian was still alive might not be a good thing for him, especially since she still didn’t know what kind of person Long Aotian truly was.

She came today simply to inform Cao Zhen of this matter and also to see what level he had cultivated the Gold Light Spell to.

“Now, only the two of us know the Gold Light Spell, and I would like to see how far you’ve cultivated the Gold Light Spell.” Li Ke did not hide her intentions and directly said, “Go ahead, don’t worry, I will suppress my cultivation realm to be at the same level as yours.”

A smile crossed Cao Zhen’s mind.

You want to see how strong my Gold Light Spell is?

Just look at yourself, as strong as your Gold Light Spell is, that’s how strong mine is.

While laughing inwardly, the formations of Immortal Bridges and inner cores appeared behind him.

At the same time, a golden light also emerged around his body.

“Good, pay attention, I’m starting now,” Li Ke said, glancing at Cao Zhen.

She suppressed her cultivation realm to the same level as his and pointed with her palm, causing a blazing flame to shoot forth instantly.

Without trying to block it, Cao Zhen just stood there motionless.

Since he was supposed to show how strong the Gold Light Spell was, he would have to block purely with the Gold Light Spell.

The scorching flame flew at him and burst into a shower of magnificent sparks upon hitting him.

A pillar of light leaped into the sky, but Cao Zhen’s Gold Light Spell just lightly fluctuated without a single crack appearing.

Li Ke’s eyebrows slightly frowned.

Although she had suppressed her cultivation realm to Cao Zhen’s level, she hadn’t used much strength in the strike.

Yet, Cao Zhen’s Gold Light Spell seemed completely unharmed, and the level of his spell was apparently stronger than she had anticipated.

“Continue.”

Li Ke shot out another flame, and this time the fire was much stronger than before.

When it hit the Gold Light Spell, the protective light violently shook, but still no cracks could be seen on the Golden Light Spell.

Li Ke’s eyes widened in shock; the strength of this Gold Light Spell seemed comparable to her own.

What level had this guy cultivated his Gold Light Spell to?

“Be careful, I’m going all out now.”

This time, Li Ke finally exerted her full power at her current cultivation realm level and shot out another intense flame, which seemed to coalesce into a longsword aiming straight for Cao Zhen.

The next moment, the longsword struck the Gold Light Spell, and a dull sound rang out as the spell vibrated fiercely.

The golden light flared intensely, and a crack appeared on the protective shield, but the Gold Light Spell still did not break through.

“This…” Li Ke stared at the Gold Light Spell, which still held despite the crack, and was almost stunned.

Cao Zhen laughed inwardly and said, “Are you ready?

Here I come.”

Purple thunder emerged from his hands.

Since this was a test of the strength of the Gold Light Spell, it wasn’t enough to just let Li Ke attack; he had to attack as well.

For a time, purple thunder and flames continuously rose in the dense forest, emitting a deafening rumble.

After a while, Li Ke stared at her Gold Light Spell and Cao Zhen’s, both simultaneously shattered, and recalling the strength of their previous attacks, she began to question her life.
