My Master Knows It All

282: Chapter 143 Sword Sect Discussing the Dao_3 282: Chapter 143 Sword Sect Discussing the Dao_3 Yan Yourong did not answer, but a cold smile appeared on her face.

Li Ke chuckled to herself and instantly understood, transmitting a message secretly, “Indeed, it is you who are smart.

I really don’t understand why your master would ever trust such a person as his friend.”

Yan Yourong also did not understand why her master would trust Chen Shizhi.

Not only Yan Yourong, but everyone else was somewhat puzzled.

Elder Copper Plate even looked towards Cao Zhen, about to remind him of something, especially because Chen Shizhi also knew of Cao Zhen and their plan.

However, Cao Zhen stood up and said to everyone, “My friends, I suddenly remembered there is something I need to take care of.

I will go out for a while and return later.”

With these words, he hurried away, chasing down the mountain.

Although Four Treasures Peak was only ranked one hundred, sizable enough to be one of the Hundred Peaks of the Hundred Peaks Sect, its area was not too small.

Chen Shizhi walked down the mountain, and before he even reached midway, a figure was quickly catching up from behind.

“World.”

Cao Zhen caught up with Chen Shizhi from behind, looking at him, his face beaded with sweat from hurrying, he took the initiative to speak, “Did you not manage to get the Spirit Stone?”

“I got them, I got them,” Chen Shizhi immediately shook his head.

What if he said he didn’t get them and, looking back, Cao Zhen’s disciples really buried him alive?

Cao Zhen sighed softly, walked in front of Chen Shizhi, and said sadly, “Don’t lie to me anymore.

If Yan Yourong was giving you the Spirit Stone, she would have let you wait outside.

Why would she have you enter the room?

If I’m not wrong, you didn’t get the Spirit Stones.”

Chen Shizhi did not speak, just looked at Cao Zhen somewhat strangely.

He was also a bit confused.

There was no one else around at the moment, and Cao Zhen did not need to show his generosity and righteousness in front of others anymore.

What was he doing by chasing after him?

To insult him once more?

Cao Zhen let out a deep sigh, looking at Chen Shizhi with sincerity, “I know, my disciples might not think that you are my friend, hence they did not give you the money.

But, I consider you a true friend.

You may not know, but I suffered an injury once before.”

As Cao Zhen spoke, he stretched out a hand pointing to his own head and continued, “After the injury healed, I discovered that I had lost a lot of memories here.

Yet, the remaining memories tell me that you are my good friend.

Actually, I am not foolish.

They all believe that you are not my friend, and I can see that many of the things you’ve done don’t resemble what a friend should do.

But my remaining memories are such that in them, you are my good friend, and I have always been trying to convince myself that what you’ve done was for my own good.

Moreover, to tell you the truth, the memories I’ve lost are far more than you could imagine.

I have lost so much memory that I even think that I am not the same person as before and that my body has been possessed by another, with the current me occupying this body.

Do you understand what I mean by this?”

Chen Shizhi nodded slightly.

Possession, seizing another person’s body, these were things he had not witnessed, but there were such rumors in the Immortal Cultivation world.

Only then did Cao Zhen continue, “I believe I have usurped the previous owner of this body, and in his memories, you were his good friend.

Therefore, no matter what, I must be good to you, I must maintain goodwill towards those in the past, those who were kind to me in those memories.

No matter how you treat me, in my memories, you are my friend, and you will always be my friend.

Even for the sake of the past you, I wish you well.”

After speaking, Cao Zhen sighed and took out a Spiritual Stone Ticket, placing it in front of Chen Shizhi with sincerity, “I know you may dislike going back to Four Treasures Peak, and I won’t force you to return, but take these Spirit Stones first.

I know you have always wanted to cultivate, always looking for an opportunity to cultivate, and for cultivation, one cannot do without Spirit Stones.”

Having said that, he patted Chen Shizhi on the shoulder and turned to leave.

Chen Shizhi just stood there, coldly looking at the Spiritual Stone Ticket that had been thrust into his hand.

One hundred thousand taels!

Not fifty thousand taels of Spirit Stone, but a ticket worth one hundred thousand taels of Spirit Stones.

It was a number he could not have imagined before, and now, such a ticket lay before his eyes.

Yet he did not put away the Spiritual Stone Ticket.

“I was wrong, terribly wrong!”

After a long while, Chen Shizhi gripped the Spiritual Stone Ticket and suddenly fell to the ground.

As a man standing over six feet tall, tears were now uncontrollably streaming down his face.

“What have I done?

What exactly have I done!

I don’t know whether this Cao Zhen is still the same person, whether he has really been possessed by another, or lost most of his memory due to cultivation deviation.

But regardless of which Cao Zhen it is, he has regarded me as a true friend.

He has lost so much memory but can still remember me, even recalling that I yearn to cultivate, remembering that I am still his friend, he truly sees me as a friend.

But what about me?

What have I done?

Do I deserve to be called a friend!

He has always seen me as a good friend, yet I have always been envious of him, am I even human anymore!”

After leaving the Spiritual Stone Ticket, Cao Zhen returned to the guest courtyard.

In the guest courtyard, everyone still had not left, and even Li Lingwei was competing in drinking with Chao Zi.

“You still gave him the Spirit Stones?” Li Ke quietly approached Cao Zhen, looking at him as if looking at a fool.
