My Master Knows It All

1114: Chapter 286_6 1114: Chapter 286_6 Since that was the case, she went to assist Master Cao in dealing with those troubles.

Immortal Bi Yue quickly flew away.

Cao Zhen didn’t know what Immortal Bi Yue had said to the others, but the crowd soon dispersed, and Immortal Bi Yue did not return; instead, she went far away from that place.

Cao Zhen also flew away from the mountain.

Because there were so many people nearby, no one noticed him.

He had just returned to the Five Sounds Sect’s branch when Wu Se and others approached him with gossipy looks, asking, “Master Cao, were you accompanied by Immortal Bi Yue tonight?

I mean, did you play music for Immortal Bi Yue?”

“Yes,” Cao Zhen nodded slightly.

He was puzzled as to why Wu Se was so gossipy.

He didn’t seem like a cultivator at all, let alone a disciple of a great teaching.

A look of envy flashed in Wu Se’s eyes as he asked, “So, when Immortal Bi Yue had her enlightenment, you were there too?”

“That’s correct, I was there.” Cao Zhen nodded again.

He was not only present, but without him, Immortal Bi Yue wouldn’t have been able to achieve enlightenment.

“Master Cao…” Wu Se had more to say, but he suddenly paused, staring blankly at Immortal Bi Yue who appeared in the branch.

Immortal Bi Yue had just had her enlightenment not long ago, right?

Shouldn’t she be reflecting on her gains now?

Why had Immortal Bi Yue come back to their branch?

As he wondered, Bi Yue had already approached him.

Wu Se grew increasingly surprised.

Immortal Bi Yue was looking for him?

“Taoist Wu,” Immortal Bi Yue called out to Wu Se, but her gaze had already turned to Cao Zhen as she said, “Today, Master Cao played the zither for me, and the piece he played was a different one, one I have never heard before.

I feel that this piece is even better than the ones we had before.

So I’d like to bother you all to change the piece to Master Cao’s.”

“Change the piece?” Wu Se had never expected that they would be asked to change the piece.

“Is there a problem?” Immortal Bi Yue, who had always behaved like someone else’s immortal, like a well-bred lady among mortals, asked.

Although her four-word inquiry bore no coldness, one could clearly feel the bluntness and dissatisfaction in her tone.

Wu Se was immediately startled and shook his head, “No problem at all.

Although the timeline is tight, we are proficient in musical rhythm.

We have just enough time.

I was merely surprised that Master Cao had such a piece.

You should have revealed it sooner, Master Cao.”

He had a favor to ask of Immortal Bi Yue and, although she had already agreed to a down payment, what if he offended her and she decided to leave?

Moreover, Dragon Chant Sect, where Immortal Bi Yue belonged, was extremely powerful.

If possible, he hoped to find some top-tier experts through her.

With Immortal Bi Yue’s influence, it wouldn’t be difficult to find experts willing to assist, as long as she was willing to help.

But before Wu Se could finish speaking, Immortal Bi Yue’s voice came again, this time even blunter and already tinged with a hint of frost.

“Master Cao, when he decides to present his piece, is naturally his own choice.

Since when is it your place to blame him?”

Wu Se was dumbfounded.

He had merely made a casual remark, looking for a way out.

He hadn’t intended to blame Master Cao at all.

Why had Immortal Bi Yue become so concerned about Cao Zhen after going out with him?

What had happened between them?

Wasn’t it just Cao Zhen playing the zither, followed by Immortal Bi Yue’s enlightenment?

The fact that Immortal Bi Yue cared so much about Cao Zhen suggested that her enlightenment was deeply linked to him.

Otherwise, there was no explanation for her sudden intensity.

“No need for such excitement, Bi Yue.

Taoist Wu must have just been surprised,” Cao Zhen motioned for Immortal Bi Yue to calm down.

But in his heart, he felt helpless.

Was he not shooting himself in the foot?

They had already nearly finished their rehearsals, but upon hearing his piece, Bi Yue had directly requested a change.

Wouldn’t he then have to go through rehearsals again?

And he had already noticed that Wu Se held Immortal Bi Yue in high regard, but now, despite her behavior, Wu Se was still all smiles.

Even if Wu Se’s cultivation realm was far inferior to Immortal Bi Yue’s, he was still part of a great teaching.

In this manner, did he resemble someone from a great teaching at all?

Was the Five Sounds Sect truly a great teaching?

Could the gap between great teachings be so vast?

Wu Se immediately took the way out Cao Zhen had given him, “Yes, I was indeed surprised, Master Cao.

What piece it could be that Immortal Bi Yue holds in such high regard?”

“The piece, I haven’t written it out yet.

Wait a moment, I’ll write it now.”

“No hurry, no hurry.

I’ll go inform the others,” Wu Se said with a smile as he turned to notify the rest of the cultivators.

Cao Zhen took out paper and ink, and just as he was about to prepare the ink, Immortal Bi Yue had already preemptively begun to grind it.

All were cultivators, and grinding ink was more of a ritual; infused with mana, the ink was instantly ready.

There was a stone table in the courtyard.

Cao Zhen found one, spread out the rice paper, picked up the brush, and began to write.

As the first stroke fell, Immortal Bi Yue’s eyes instantly widened.

This calligraphy…

Such beautiful writing.

Although she was not knowledgeable about calligraphy, she did have aesthetic appreciation.

In Dragon Chant Sect, those who enjoyed calligraphy would hang works of ‘masters’ in their Cave Mansions.

Now, seeing the characters Cao Zhen wrote, she didn’t think they were any less exquisite than those masters’ works.

Moreover, Cao Zhen was writing extremely quickly, evidently without much effort.

How much more beautiful would his writing be if Master Cao put his heart into it?

Master Cao, he was indeed talented in multiple fields, reaching such heights not only in musical rhythm but also in calligraphy…

She wondered what realm Cao Zhen’s cultivation base had reached now.

However, asking directly about someone else’s cultivation realm would be somewhat presumptuous.

Immortal Bi Yue thought for a moment and then whispered in Cao Zhen’s ear, “Master Cao, Bi Yue is indebted to you for the enlightenment.

However, I still don’t know which Immortal Sect you hail from?”
