My Master Knows It All

848: Chapter 241_8 848: Chapter 241_8 You should know how much we at the Liquor Fire Peak value you.

It’s alright if you don’t understand now; you can gradually learn.

After all, choosing a disciple doesn’t necessarily mean making a decision on the first day.

I once participated in choosing disciples myself.

As someone who has gone through it, I can give you a piece of advice.

You mustn’t rush to make a decision or to reject offers; you can take your time to see,”

Kang Jiuhuo felt he had made himself clear enough, and sincere enough, yet Liao Youdi still shook her head in refusal.

“I don’t like liquor.”

She truly detested liquor and those who drank it.

Her father was an alcoholic.

When she was young and barely remembered things, she did not know that her father, due to his drinking, had missed the deadline to send her to the Hundred Peaks Sect to be recruited as a Taoist boy.

Because of that, she harbored a grudge, but not an excessive one.

She was too young back then.

If she had been taken away by the Hundred Peaks Sect at that time, she surely wouldn’t have known how to secure any benefits for her mother.

And once she had left her mother, these years, her mother would have been without her help, not knowing how much more she would have had to suffer.

But what made her despise drinkers even more was that their family was already in such a dire situation, yet her father still spent money on alcohol—all of which was the hard-earned money of her mother.

Even preferentially, her father chose drinking over letting her go hungry!

Moreover, what was more outrageous was that nine out of ten times when her father drank, he would end up hitting someone.

Thus, she hated her father, and even more so, those who drank.

Let alone that Liquor Fire Peak had once been glorious and was now in decline.

Even if Liquor Fire Peak were ranked first among the Hundred Peaks Sect, she would not join the Liquor Fire Peak.

Kang Jiuhuo was dumbfounded; he could not fathom that this was the reason.

How could a child hate liquor?

He wanted to say more, but Little Beiyan could not hold back anymore and exclaimed, “She already said she doesn’t like drunkards, why are you still persisting?”

He remembered very clearly when they last recruited these boys in Jijiang City, someone had mentioned that Liao Youdi’s father was an alcoholic, and obviously, Liao Youdi greatly disliked her father, so her refusal to Kang Jiuhuo was only natural.

As soon as Beiyan spoke, the crowd around also began to chime in, “Right, Kang Jiuhuo, she has clearly refused already, why are you still pestering her?”

“Alright, you’ve had your say; now it should be our turn.”

“Exactly, there’s not only your Liquor Fire Peak here!”

The crowd around promptly stepped forward, pushing Kang Jiuhuo aside, and in a moment, various Fire System Peak Masters began to voice their conditions again.

Amid the cacophony of voices, Lu Wanyu from the Azure Pheasant Peak and Zhang Yuxin from the Vermillion Bird Peak, however, had not said anything.

Once everyone had finished speaking, Lu Wanyu slowly stepped forward and said, “You have been in the Hundred Peaks Sect for a while now, and you should know that the strongest Fire System Peak within our sect has always been our Azure Pheasant Peak!”

“Since when has the strongest Fire System Peak in the Hundred Peaks Sect been Azure Pheasant Peak?” Zhang Yuxin, who had not spoken for a long time, scoffed, “Our Vermilion Bird Peak ranks above your Azure Pheasant Peak.”

Speaking, she displayed a proud look and said, “Within the Hundred Peaks Sect, the strongest Fire System Peak is our Vermilion Bird Peak.

Currently, the Grand Elder of the Hundred Peaks Sect is also our Peak Master Li Ke.

Sister Li Ke is now the number one person of the Fire system in our sect!”

Upon hearing this, the people from the other Fire System Peaks, not waiting for Lu Wanyu to speak, began to voice their objections.

“Li Ke is indeed formidable, but to claim directly that she’s the number one in the Fire system goes a bit too far.

Elder Brother Lie Yan from the Flying Immortal Peak is certainly not inferior to Li Ke.”

“Yes, this number one in the Fire system is indeed hard to say.”

Upon hearing the voices of the others, Lu Wanyu’s face showed a pleased expression, and with a thought, she continued, “It’s true, Sister Li Ke is strong.

But that’s exactly Vermilion Bird Peak’s problem.”

She looked at Liao Youdi and slowly began to speak, “I know you are young, but it’s clear that you are very sensible.

I will not treat you like a child.

How about I analyze this properly with you?”

Speaking, she pointed at the people from the other Fire System Peaks and said, “Their peaks rank below ours.

Logically speaking, when choosing, everyone should opt for either our Azure Pheasant Peak or Vermilion Bird Peak, but why are they still here?

Why do some people still join their peaks?

Because they too have their advantages.”

As soon as Lu Wanyu’s words dropped, Zhang Yuxin immediately furrowed her brows, and the people from the other Fire System Peaks also showed a look of surprise.

What was this situation?

Everyone was recruiting disciples, but it was always customary to praise oneself and disparage the other.

Now Lu Wanyu was actually speaking well of her competitors?

Liao Youdi even showed a look of surprise, her expression focused intensely on Lu Wanyu.

Lu Wanyu, detecting Liao Youdi’s gaze, felt sure.

Indeed, her thoughts were correct; the next step was to see how to win over Liao Youdi.

After a brief pause, she continued, “Many people say, ‘It’s better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.’ This saying actually makes a lot of sense.

The geniuses, whether they enter our Azure Pheasant Peak or Vermilion Bird Peak, will face very fierce competition.

Of course, they are geniuses, so we value them highly.
