My Master Knows It All

451: Chapter 172: If You Don’t Agree, Then Fight_5 451: Chapter 172: If You Don’t Agree, Then Fight_5 The Grand Preceptor had always taken a suppressive stance towards all the Immortal Sects.

Then, when Cao Zhen went to the Capital City for the first time, in just a few days, the Grand Preceptor actually wanted to directly appoint Cao Zhen as the State Preceptor.

To confer the title of State Preceptor on someone who had not yet condensed a Golden Core, but had merely formed seven cores—how absurd!

What was even more absurd was that, if it hadn’t been for the emperor’s intervention, Cao Zhen would be the State Preceptor by now.

She simply couldn’t understand—what did the Grand Preceptor see in Cao Zhen!

While Chen Qingluan couldn’t figure it out, Tu Zhuque returned to Vermilion Bird Peak with a flush of pride on her face, and soon summoned all her disciples to announce the matter of the All Immortals Martial Tournament.

After all the disciples had left, she even kept Li Ke behind and said with a smile, “Ke, at this All Immortals Martial Tournament, I only assign you one task, and that is to become the State Preceptor.

Become the first female State Preceptor of our Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty!

Speaking of which, it has been quite a long time since you’ve seen your dao companion, Cao Zhen.

This trip to the Capital City will also allow you to reunite with him.”

Li Ke was completely dumbfounded—why was the All Immortals Martial Tournament being held all of a sudden?

Reunite with Cao Zhen?

There wasn’t anything much for them to reunite over; they were fake dao companions, not real ones!

As she pondered this, her master’s voice rang in her ears again.

“Right, once the All Immortals Martial Tournament is over, I’ll pick a good day for you two.

While I’m still awake and not yet in slumber, I will let the two of you hold the dao companion ceremony early.”

“Ah?

The dao companion ceremony?” Li Ke was completely flabbergasted.

Didn’t her master look down on Cao Zhen?

How could she suddenly want to hold a dao companion ceremony for her and Cao Zhen?

The two of them were fake, fake!

Could it be that they were truly going to become dao companions?

In her panic, Li Ke hurriedly spoke up, “Master, why bring up the dao companion ceremony all of a sudden?

It’s rather early for the disciple to know him…”

“What?

You don’t want to become dao companions with him?

Haven’t you always said that you and he had a good relationship?” Tu Zhuque immediately frowned.

What were these young people thinking?

Why do they change their minds every day?

Seeing her master’s furrowed brow, Li Ke hurriedly explained, “No, what the disciple meant is, you have said before that Cao Zhen’s Four Treasures Peak is ranked too low; marrying him would be somewhat embarrassing for you.

Didn’t you say you wanted to wait until Four Treasures Peak’s ranking reached the Upper Fifty Peaks before letting your disciple become dao companions with him?

Now, Four Treasures Peak is only ranked one hundred, still far from the Upper Fifty Peaks.

The disciple doesn’t want to embarrass you, so I was thinking of waiting until Four Treasures Peak reaches the Upper Fifty Peaks before discussing the dao companion ceremony with Cao Zhen.”

Telling her master directly that the two of them were pretending to be dao companions was absolutely not an option, so she could only use the issue of reaching the Upper Fifty Peaks.

Upon hearing this, Tu Zhuque’s face immediately showed a benevolent smile, “You do have the Sect’s interests at heart, even postponing your own life events for the sake of your master.”

“It’s not a delay, both the disciple and he are young,” Li Ke assured.

“Besides, you have seen the strength of Four Treasures Peak, Master.

I believe that by the next Hundred Peaks Tournament, Four Treasures Peak will surely recruit more disciples and further improve its strength.

By then, Four Treasures Peak will surely make it into the Upper Fifty Peaks.”

“There’s no need to wait for the next Hundred Peaks Tournament,” Tu Zhuque shook her head with a chuckle.

“Master, it isn’t just for my own face, but also for you.

Think about it, if at that time you became dao companions with Cao Zhen, what would people say about you?

The most talented disciple of the Hundred Peaks Sect, marrying the Peak Master of the Hundred Peaks Sect’s lowest-ranking peak—your master was afraid others would ridicule you.

But now, these issues are no longer there.

Today, the Sect Leader True Person already said that, once the All Immortals Martial Tournament is over and Cao Zhen returns, he will take over as the Master of Hidden Dragon View.

When the time comes, you marrying the Master of Hidden Dragon View will naturally pose no issues.

It’s decided then; once the All Immortals Martial Tournament ends, and you return to the Hundred Peaks Sect, I will personally preside over your dao companion ceremony.”

Tu Zhuque indicated that Li Ke should leave as she had just realized that her disciple had exceptionally good judgment.

Initially, nobody had high hopes for Cao Zhen.

Even Chen Qingluan had mocked her, saying not to find a ‘Peak Master Cao’-like dao companion for her precious disciple.

In the end, Li Ke indeed chose Cao Zhen.

At that time, she didn’t have a good opinion of Cao Zhen either.

But Cao Zhen?

On the Hundred Peaks Tournament, he had already shown others his potential.

Once the Immortal Sects from all over the world began their discussions, Peak Master Cao repeatedly restored the face of the Hundred Peaks Sect, especially at Thousand Caves Door, where he engaged in discourse with the people there, unmatched by anyone.

It probably wouldn’t be long before Cao Zhen became famous all over the world for his discourses.

Not only that, but the Sect Leader True Person also had high regard for Cao Zhen, and even the most powerful expert of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, the current Grand Preceptor, thought highly of Cao Zhen!

Although she didn’t like the Grand Preceptor, she acknowledged that the Grand Preceptor was the foremost individual in the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty—not just in terms of cultivation base but also in foresight, tactics, and all other aspects.

Such a person favored Cao Zhen, wanted Cao Zhen to be the State Preceptor, so what reason did she have not to think highly of Cao Zhen, or to prevent her disciple from becoming dao companions with him!

Li Ke walked out of her master’s room with a look of utter desolation.

She just couldn’t understand—how did Cao Zhen cause such a big stir, and why did her master want her to become dao companions with him?

Were these fake dao companions going to become real ones?
