Chapter 1709: Chapter 386
Within the Ministry of Works Immortal Palace, just after everyone voiced their doubts, an older disciple interrupted, “He’s right. Although I haven’t witnessed everything he ntioned, I absolutely understand that the people from the Law Enforcent Immortal Palace would definitely not dare to anger Elder Copper Plate.”
As soon as he spoke, everyone around looked over, faces full of astonishnt.
“What?”
“Senior Brother, you’re saying that even the people from the Law Enforcent Immortal Palace wouldn’t dare provoke Elder Copper Plate. How is that possible?”
“If Elder Copper Plate gets angry, what would happen? Would it be severe?”
Beside him, another older disciple nodded in agreent, saying, “It would be extrely severe. Elder Copper Plate is quite old now, and his lifespan is almost up. If Elder Copper Plate gets angry and sothing happens… The people from the Law Enforcent Immortal Palace will be buried alive by Elder Yan Yourong.”
“Ah?”
“What… What’s the relationship between Elder Copper Plate and Elder Yan Yourong? I’ve never heard that Elder Copper Plate and Elder Yan Yourong have any ties.”
The people around were even more puzzled.
Their senior brother looked at everyone’s curious expressions, glanced around, and still explained, “There isn’t a direct relationship between Elder Copper Plate and Elder Yan Yourong. Let put it this way, if Elder Yan Yourong were to cause so problem for Elder Copper Plate, he would have to bury himself.”
“What?”
“Senior Brother, but that’s Elder Yan Yourong. Saying it like that—be mindful…”
Everyone found it hard to believe their senior brother. Elder Yan Yourong is one of the top experts in the Hundred Peaks Sect, and she’s the sect master’s second disciple. It’s impossible that Elder Yan Yourong would fear Elder Copper Plate!
“Why not?” Their senior brother looked at them, showing a look as if they knew nothing and said, “The sect master, when he cos to our Crafts Departnt looking for soone, he’s only likely looking for Elder Copper Plate.
You all joined our Hundred Peaks Sect recently, so you’re unaware, but everyone who’s been here in our Crafts Departnt for a while knows about the relationship between Elder Copper Plate and the sect master.
The sect master has always treated Elder Copper Plate with the deference due to a younger generation.
Do you know, the way the sect master addresses Elder Copper Plate when he sees him? He calls him ‘Uncle Master.’
Back when the sect master just beca the Peak Master of Four Treasures Peak, Four Treasures Peak was ranked the last within our Hundred Peaks Sect. It was truly the last. Elder Copper Plate was always helping the sect master, often visiting Four Treasures Peak.
I’ve heard that Elder Copper Plate once gave all his belongings to support our sect master.
And since our sect master values relationships greatly, he has always rembered the goodness of Elder Copper Plate, treating him as his most respected elder.
Given this relationship, would anyone dare make Elder Copper Plate angry? If Elder Copper Plate really encountered so issue, even Elder Yan Yourong couldn’t bear the consequences. How could people from the Law Enforcent Immortal Palace possibly provoke Elder Copper Plate over so trivial matter?”
All the young disciples around were completely stunned.
“What?”
“There’s such a relationship between Elder Copper Plate and the sect master?”
“Why have we never heard anyone ntion it before?”
The other senior brother among them heard and visibly admired, “That’s exactly why Elder Copper Plate is so respected. If it were soone else with such a relationship, they’d be eager for others to know.
But Elder Copper Plate doesn’t want anyone to spread word of his relationship with the sect master.
He said he didn’t want to influence the sect master because of him. He wants everyone to view him as just an ordinary, Crafts Departnt elder.
Therefore, over ti, people didn’t deliberately spread this, and new disciples like you wouldn’t know about the relationship between Elder Copper Plate and the sect master.”
“I see.”
“However, why did the sect master co to see Elder Copper Plate this ti? What’s the matter?”
Arriving at the entrance of Elder Copper Plate’s cave mansion, footsteps sounded from within.
Elder Copper Plate’s cave mansion hadn’t been remodeled, the soundproofing was average. Even standing outside, with his current cultivation base, he could hear sounds emanating from inside.
Soon, the door of the cave mansion was pushed open from within, and Elder Copper Plate’s aged figure appeared in his view.
Upon seeing Cao Zhen standing outside, Copper Dish naturally showed a pleased expression, alongside so curiosity.
“Sect Master? Why have you co?”
Listening to Elder Copper Plate’s address, Cao Zhen’s face showed slight impatience, “Uncle Master, please don’t call that way, I am rely your junior.”
With a look of reverence, Copper Dish replied, “But you are the sect master, I must uphold your dignity as sect master.”
“Alright, alright, Uncle Master, you can call sect master, but please drop the formal ‘you’,” Cao Zhen corrected, seeing Copper Dish was about to continue lecturing, quickly pointed inside the cave, “Uncle Master, since I’m here, won’t you invite in?”
“Yes, yes, co in, before anyone sees,” Copper Dish said, murmuring as he walked inside, “Sect Master, you shouldn’t have co to find . Now that you’ve co, everyone knows I know you.”
Cao Zhen surveyed Elder Copper Plate’s cave mansion, casually saying, “So what if they know?”
Elder Copper Plate sighed, “Once people know, they might co to seek my help. You know, I have a soft heart and can’t stand seeing others in trouble. If I soften, I’ll turn to you, which might cause trouble for you.”
