My Master Knows It All-Chapter 627 - 203_5

Everyone was nursing a headache when Liè Yàn shook his head firmly and said, "I’m not suitable. I only know how to cultivate; I’m not good at anything else. Let Sister Li Ke be the Grand Elder instead."

He truly wasn’t suitable for any position. Otherwise, the former Peak Master of Flying Immortal Peak wouldn’t have let his senior brother Nie Jie temporarily take charge of Flying Immortal Peak. After all, his cultivation base was higher than Nie Jie’s.

This...

Chen Qingluan was stunned. What was going on with these disciples?

Why weren’t they vying for anything?

She could understand if the disciples of Four Treasures Peak didn’t compete, since after all, Li Ke was their master’s wife, but what was the deal with this Liè Yàn?

If they were all not contending, did that mean they wanted to let...

No, that’s not right!

Chen Qingluan suddenly realized a problem and said loudly, "That’s wrong, Peak Master Cao is the State Preceptor, and Li Ke, Liè Yàn, Ling Xi, they are all among the ten great Immortal Generals. If the time comes when the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty calls on you to go to Capital City, what then? Are you not going to go? If you do go, won’t our Hundred Peaks Sect be left leaderless?"

"Of course, it’s not possible for us to all leave," Jing Zhengfa gently shook his head and said, "Of course, everything is ultimately up to Peak Master Cao’s decision, since after all, the Grand Preceptor is already slumbering, and Peak Master Cao is the State Preceptor! Besides, the Grand Elder is not there to assist the Sect Leader with mundane affairs, the one who truly aids the Sect Leader is the Vice Sect Master.

I think there is no problem with Li Ke becoming the Grand Elder."

Now, with Ling Xi, Yan Yourong, and Liè Yàn all withdrawing from the competition for the Grand Elder, everyone naturally chose Li Ke as the Grand Elder.

It was different from the situation with Cao Zhen before.

Cao Zhen did want to withdraw and not take up the position of Sect Leader, but after him, there were no other candidates for Sect Leader—the position had to be taken by Cao Zhen whether he wanted it or not.

As for the Grand Elder, with Ling Xi and others stepping down, and only Li Ke as the candidate, it was natural to withdraw.

At this moment, Tu Zhuque was elated and bursting with pride.

Her disciple had now become the Grand Elder of the Hundred Peaks Sect!

Even if it was only the Grand Elder during the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth, she was still the Grand Elder.

And the Sect Leader of the Hundred Peaks Sect during the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth was her disciple’s partner.

Look, who would dare say now that she, Tu Zhuque, only knows how to teach disciples and doesn’t know how to find partners for them? Look at her disciple’s partner—could there be a better match than this?

With the Sect Leader and the Grand Elder selected, the next in line naturally was the Vice Sect Master.

After all, during the Reversal Mini Epoch Period, everyone was dormant, so there wouldn’t be any existences like Supreme Elders.

"I wonder if any of you have a candidate in mind for the Vice Sect Master?" Jing Zhengfa looked around at everyone.

But Cao Zhen, for once, took the initiative to speak up, "I recommend Nie Jie of Flying Immortal Peak."

As soon as these words dropped, everyone around looked over in surprise.

The Vice Sect Master was to assist the Sect Leader—shouldn’t Peak Master Cao choose his own disciple? Why did he choose Nie Jie of Flying Immortal Peak?

Was it possible that Peak Master Cao was trying to avoid nepotism?

Cao Zhen didn’t care about avoiding nepotism at all. freewebnoveℓ.com

He knew very well that the Vice Sect Master was supposed to assist the Sect Leader; in other words, the Vice Sect Master was akin to the Sect Leader’s secretary—anything that needed doing would require the secretary’s involvement!

The only one among his disciples suitable for this role was Yi Sheng, but Yi Sheng still needed to cultivate to break through to the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection as soon as possible.

So, naturally, he had to look for someone else.

During his time in the Capital City, he had often heard from Lv Chaoqiong and others that Nie Jie had very much the bearing of a great senior brother. When disciples of Hundred Peaks Sect were in Capital City, it was Nie Jie who handled many things for them.

Nie Jie was sufficiently capable, and also a cultivator at the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection, with no further advancement possible in his cultivation base, so there was nothing to ponder over—it had to be Nie Jie for the Vice Sect Master.

"Me?" Nie Jie himself was taken aback for a moment. He didn’t really have much deep interaction with Peak Master Cao and had never expected Peak Master Cao to be the first to recommend him.

But the truth was, he didn’t want to be the Vice Sect Master—or rather, he didn’t even want to continue being the current Peak Master of Flying Immortal Peak.

Being a Peak Master was such a hassle, and as for being the Vice Sect Master, wouldn’t that be even more troublesome? No, no, absolutely not. He was determined not to take on that role!

"About that, I’ll have to pass on being the Vice Sect Master," Nie Jie pointed at himself and said, "Right now, I’m the Peak Master of Flying Immortal Peak. It’s not appropriate to hold two offices."

"How is it not appropriate?" Cao Zhen pointed at himself and said, "By your logic, I am both the Peak Master of Four Treasures Peak and the master of Hidden Dragon Observatory, and I will also be the Sect Leader of Hundred Peaks Sect in the future! Aren’t I even less suitable? Li Ke is also the Peak Master of Vermilion Bird Peak while simultaneously the Grand Elder. Is that not suitable as well?"

"This..." Nie Jie was at a loss for words for a moment.

Hearing this, everyone around understood Peak Master Cao’s intent and knew he genuinely wanted Nie Jie to be the Vice Sect Master. They began to voice their opinions.

"Nie Jie, you are indeed most suitable."

"Indeed, the Reversal Mini Epoch Period is special, and exceptional circumstances require exceptional measures. Holding two positions is nothing strange."

Hearing the crowd’s chorus of agreement, Cao Zhen spoke up again, "Previously, Peak Master Chen also mentioned that I am the State Preceptor, and Ling Xi and the others are among the ten great Immortal Generals.

The Vice Sect Master is there to assist the Sect Leader. If there were a special circumstance where all of us had to leave Hundred Peaks Sect, then our sect would really be without a leader.

Therefore, I believe that none of us should take on the role of Vice Sect Master. And, the person who can command everyone’s trust, I believe, is undoubtedly you, nephew Nie Jie."
