203: Chapter 129 Don’t Leave After School_3 203: Chapter 129 Don’t Leave After School_3 From afar, Tu Zhuque did not linger in the courtyard, but instead took Li Ke to a secluded spot.
With a mixture of worry and anticipation, he looked at Li Ke and asked, “Tell , when did you and Cao Zhen start this?
How co I didn’t know?
And, how far have you two developed your relationship?”
“We…” Li Ke glanced around, seeing that there were no others nearby.
Since that was the case, telling the truth was the plan…
telling it…
No, if I tell the truth, Master will definitely continue to arrange a match for , which would be endlessly annoying.
Therefore, it’s better to keep using Cao Zhen.
After all, I spent two hundred thousand Spirit Stones on this; I can’t let that go to waste.
“What about you two?
If you have sothing to say, just say it.” Tu Zhuque’s brows furrowed, and a sense of worry began to surface in his heart.
Since when had Li Ke beco so hesitant?
This matter…
“Master, we’re doing well,” Li Ke recalled her first eting with Cao Zhen and slowly said, “We t while fishing, just before Cao Zhen’s competition with Starshine Peak.” As she spoke, she also reassured herself, We did et at that ti, so I shouldn’t be considered as deceiving Master.
“Fishing?” Tu Zhuque asked dissatisfiedly, “What is a Peak Master doing fishing when there’s nothing wrong?
Also, you’re doing well?
How well is that?
To what extent have you developed your relationship?”
“To what extent…
well…
it’s deep, yes, our relationship has developed deeply,” said Li Ke helplessly.
Since she didn’t understand anything about love, all she could say was that it was deep.
“Deep?
You two…” Tu Zhuque looked at his disciple with this attitude and let out a heavy sigh in his heart, feeling that she was hopelessly in love.
“Why him out of all people?” Tu Zhuque sighed several tis, pointing at Li Ke with a bitter resentnt, “Look at Qu Qingqing; she chose the rising talent from Four Treasures Peak, Shi Xiaolou, who has reached Great Perfection Golden Core.
And you…
you choose soone who hasn’t even reached the Golden Core Stage.”
“What’s so great about Shi Xiaolou?” Li Ke spoke dismissively, “He lost face at the banquet just now, didn’t he?
They say he’s unparalleled in both calligraphy and martial arts, but what was the result?
His writing couldn’t compare to Cao Zhen’s at all, and he even had an enlightennt from Cao Zhen’s writing.
Even the gift he gave was inferior to Cao Zhen’s.”
“Yes, I also just learned how well Cao Zhen writes.
It indeed surprised .
There may not be many among the younger generation who can compare to Cao Zhen’s writing.
However…
Calligraphy isn’t Cao Zhen’s way into Dao.
If it were, I would have no objections.
But now, it’s impossible for him to abandon Four Treasures Peak and go to Wonderful Pen Peak or Immortal Pen Peak to learn how to pursue Dao through calligraphy, and it’s too late for that anyway.”
Li Ke looked unhappy, “Then just say it outright, you don’t think highly of Cao Zhen.”
“That’s not it.
Master doesn’t look down upon Cao Zhen; after all, his calligraphy is indeed good, and he’s also a Peak Master.
Now Four Treasures Peak is also on the rise, but…” Tu Zhuque looked at his disciple with a sense of regret, “It’s just that you’re too excellent; you could find soone better.”
“There’s no need.
I think Cao Zhen is very good.
No, he’s the only one I consider good.
And he’s been good to too,” Li Ke said, and she even took out the Cycle of Nirvana Pill that Cao Zhen gave her, “Master, look, he even gave this kind of pill.
You know the situation of Four Treasures Peak, how poor they have beco; yet he didn’t sell the pill for Spirit Stones but gave it to , his disciple.”
Seeing the pill, Tu Zhuque’s expression softened a bit, and he nodded slightly, “In this regard, he did do well.”
“Master, I haven’t even used an ordinary Nirvana Pill before, and I haven’t used this pill either,” Li Ke said while handing the Cycle of Nirvana Pill over to Tu Zhuque, “Take this Cycle of Nirvana Pill for yourself.”
“What do you take for?” Tu Zhuque’s brow imdiately furrowed, and he said sternly, “What does it an for to take away the congratulatory gift your Dao companion gave you?
Keep it for yourself.
Later on, I will give you a Nirvana Pill.”
Indeed, she wanted the Cycle of Nirvana Pill, but as she had said, it was a gift her disciple’s Dao companion gave her own disciple; how could she take it?
Besides, with the approaching Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth, she would enter slumber, and during that ti, both Vermilion Bird Peak and Hundred Peaks Sect would rely on Li Ke.
Li Ke needed the Cycle of Nirvana Pill more than she did.
“Well then…
since you’ve decided on Cao Zhen, Master can’t force you apart.” In the end, Tu Zhuque sighed resignedly and, after a brief pause, slowly said, “However, his cultivation base is still too low; we must help him cultivate.
Otherwise, by the ti of your Dao Companion Ceremony, if he doesn’t even have a Golden Core, it would sound too bad if it got out.
For now, let’s go out; today is the Golden Core Club that our Vermilion Bird Peak is hosting for you.
If both of us are absent, it would easily beco a laughingstock.
After the Golden Core Club ends, Master will have a good talk with him about how to enhance his cultivation base.”
“Master, there’s no need for that,” Li Ke really wanted to tell her Master that she was just acting, let alone having a Dao Companion Ceremony, “You are thinking too much.”
“How can it be unnecessary?
This concerns not only yourself but also the face of our entire Vermilion Bird Peak.
I have never been inferior to anyone in my life; how can I let Chen Qingluan outdo ?
My disciple is stronger than hers, and my disciple’s Dao companion also…
also cannot be worse than her disciple’s Dao companion.”
