My Master Knows It All-Chapter 626 - 203_4

Upon hearing the voice, Tu Zhuque immediately broke into laughter. With a look of triumph, she addressed Chen Qingluan, "You see, even the person you recommended agrees with appointing Li Ke as the Grand Elder!"

With that said, she turned to Cao Zhen, her smile beaming, "Speaking of which, Peak Master Cao, your relationship with our dear Ke is well-known to the world by now. While I am still awake and before I go into deep slumber, you should seek out your elders in the peak...right, I remember Elder Copper Plate, who is amicable with your master, and whom you have always regarded as a senior. I’ll find the time to discuss with Elder Copper Plate and set a date for your Dao Companion ceremony as soon as possible.

I hope to see you and Li Ke officially become Dao Companions before I enter my sleep."

Startled by the words behind Tu Zhuque, Li Ke immediately became anxious. Was she actually going to become Dao Companions with Cao Zhen? To have the ceremony for Dao Companions directly?

This...

She knew arguing with her master was futile, so she could only look to Cao Zhen and hurriedly sent him a telepathic message, "Quick, think of a way to talk to Master, tell her not to hold the Dao Companion ceremony. Otherwise, we’ll really have to play along for the rest of our lives."

"What do you mean by that? That sounds so awkward to me," Cao Zhen felt his spirits rise upon hearing Li Ke’s urging, "Are you suggesting that I’m not good enough for you?"

"No, now’s not the time to talk about these issues, you..." Without thinking, Li Ke hastily retorted, but after speaking, she herself was taken aback.

It was just a habit for her to refute Cao Zhen.

After all, she and Cao Zhen were a faux Daoist couple, so they naturally couldn’t actually go through with the ceremony.

But, what if everything were true?

Come to think of it, she really didn’t have any opposite-sex senior brother disciples who were well-matched with her. Vermilion Bird Peak consisted entirely of female disciples, so if she had to pick a familiar opposite-sex Dao Companion, it would indeed have to be Cao Zhen.

Moreover, it seems she shared a similar interest with Cao Zhen, which was making money.

She knew Cao Zhen’s secrets, and Cao Zhen also knew some of hers.

Both of them also knew Senior Long Aotian. If she were to become Dao Companions with Cao Zhen,

Li Ke found herself unconsciously pondering over the matter.

Cao Zhen realized that Li Ke suddenly fell silent, and he himself instantly panicked. Why wasn’t Li Ke speaking anymore?

Could she actually be considering this matter?

I’m not that familiar with her, although Li Ke is pretty. But to choose such a person to spend a lifetime with, the more I think about it, the scarier it gets!

"Ahem ahem..." Cao Zhen hurriedly coughed twice and said, "Chief Tu, it seems like you once said that after we make Four Treasures Peak one of the Upper Fifty Peaks, then we’ll hold the Dao Companion ceremony between me and Li Ke. Currently, Four Treasures Peak is only ranked one hundred, far from the top fifty.

This...

I’m not saying that I don’t want to become Dao Companions with Li Ke, but we have already made our word known. If we don’t fulfill what we’ve said, when the news goes out, wouldn’t it seem a bit..."

Before Tu Zhuque could speak, the surrounding crowd had already begun to shout in support.

"Peak Master Cao, you intentionally ranked Four Treasures Peak at one hundred for the future of the Hundred Peaks Sect."

"Yes, Peak Master Cao, all you did was for the Hundred Peaks Sect, we shouldn’t delay your major events because of this!"

"If it weren’t for the Hundred Peaks Sect, Four Treasures Peak would definitely have been one of the Upper Fifty Peaks by now with its strength!"

"Not just the Upper Fifty Peaks, who could stand against the strength of the disciples of Four Treasures Peak?"

"Peak Master Cao, any date you choose for the ceremony will be fine!"

"Peak Master Cao, I will definitely attend the Dao Companion ceremony!"

"We shouldn’t call you Peak Master anymore, it will be Sect Leader Cao by then."

"Peak Master Cao and Immortal Li Ke, one as the Substitute Sect Leader and the other the prospective Grand Elder, joint helped our Hundred Peaks Sect through the darkest moments of the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth. When word of this spreads, it will be a rare and admirable tale indeed."

"Indeed it is!"

The crowd not only helped secure the Dao Companion ceremony for Cao Zhen but even ensured Li Ke’s appointment as the Grand Elder.

Seeing things getting out of hand, Cao Zhen quickly spoke up, "Everyone, today we are here to select positions such as the Sect Leader, Vice Sect Master, Grand Elder, and so on. It’s not appropriate to discuss my personal matters. Let’s focus on the official business first."

For the first time, Cao Zhen discovered that he had such a powerful influence within the Hundred Peaks Sect. As his voice fell, everyone around began to express their agreement.

"All right, let’s talk about the official business first..."

"I believe Immortal Li Ke is very suitable."

"If the several individuals from Four Treasures Peak do not want to compete, then naturally Immortal Li Ke should take the position of Grand Elder!"

Hearing the crowd’s words, Chen Qingluan’s heart stirred, but she looked in the direction of Flying Immortal Peak and said, "Li Ke is indeed also suitable, but I believe there is another person even more suitable.

Liè Yàn from Flying Immortal Peak, is also at the Great Perfection stage of the Golden Core with Ten Different Phenomena, and is also one of the top ten Immortal Generals. Additionally, Flying Immortal Peak ranks first among our Hundred Peaks Sect!"

Having no outstanding disciple of her own, she had no choice but to nominate a disciple from another peak.

As Chen Qingluan’s words concluded, the expressions of everyone around suddenly changed.

Indeed, theoretically, Liè Yàn’s cultivation base was not much different from Li Ke’s. Plus, Liè Yàn belonged to Flying Immortal Peak, the number one ranked peak of the Hundred Peaks Sect. If no one from there held an important position, it would seem somewhat indefensible.

However, Immortal Li Ke is supposed to be Peak Master Cao’s Dao Companion. If Liè Yàn is chosen, what if Peak Master Cao harbors discontent?
