Chapter 695: Contempt
"Well, yes." Lu Han's expression became a little subtle.
“Peak Master, our master didn’t have any problems with his practice, but was injured by Elder Ke.” A bearded man stepped out and said indignantly.
“Lu Kui, stop talking nonsense!” Lu Han’s face changed slightly when he heard this. He frowned and yelled at Lu Kui, then turned to Yin Ranyue and said, “Peak Master, don’t listen to Lu Kui’s nonsense. I really have problems with my practice. It’s not Elder Ke’s fault.”
"Since Lu Kui said so, it at least means that this matter is related to Elder Ke." Yin Ranyue said lightly, and waved to Lu Han, signaling her not to interrupt, and then turned to Lu Kui and said: "Lu Kui, please explain the matter clearly."
Lu Kui glanced at Lu Han secretly.
"Don't be afraid of being blamed by your master. I am the master of Xuanting Peak, and I will be responsible for everything." Yin Ranyue said in a deep voice upon seeing this.
"Yes, Peak Master." Upon hearing this, Lu Kui hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed, while Lu Han sighed secretly and remained silent.
Seeing that his master did not express any opinion, Lu Kui gritted his teeth and said, “Three years ago, Elder Ke survived the wind and fire catastrophe and became a sixth-rank true immortal. He then regarded himself as the great elder of Xuanting Peak and did not take his disciple’s master seriously.
He was in charge of distributing the cultivation resources sent by the sect. The master couldn't stand it, so he argued with him. After arguing for a long time, Elder Ke thought that the master was provoking him, so he found an excuse to compete with the master in Taoism and injured the master.
After Master was injured, no one in Xuanting Peak dared to disobey him, and almost all resources were allocated and dispatched by him. "
"Elder Lu, is what Lu Kui said true?" After hearing this, Yin Ranyue looked at Lu Han and asked with a cold expression.
"Peak Master, Ke Changsuo is now a sixth-rank True Immortal. He challenged me to a duel of Daoist magic, which was meant to teach me something, but he couldn't stop and ended up hurting me, so I can't blame him.
As for the allocation of resources, there is indeed some unfairness. But he is very powerful, and Xuanting Peak still needs him to hold up the facade when you are not here, so it is normal for him to be a little overbearing in doing things. "Lv Han replied.
"So, what Lu Kui said is true?" Yin Ranyue said coldly after hearing this.
"Peak Master, Xuanting Peak is weak, and it has finally produced a sixth-rank true immortal. Please don't worry about these little things. Now that you are back, the most urgent task is to work together with Ke Changsuo to develop and expand Xuanting Peak, otherwise our Xuanting Peak will sooner or later be demoted to Diting Peak." Lu Han said earnestly.
"Okay, I understand." Yin Ranyue said calmly.
Lu Han secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. She really didn't want Yin Ranyue and Ke Changsuo to have a dispute.
When Lu Han's three true disciples heard this, they all looked disappointed.
Their master was willing to swallow his anger for the sake of the greater good, but they, as disciples, were unwilling to do so.
Originally, Yin Ranyue had returned and revealed the aura of a fifth-grade true immortal, so they still had some hope. But now it seems that Yin Ranyue is also very afraid of Ke Changsuo, and it is impossible for him to get back the face for his master.
"Lu Kui, go and invite the four elders Ke Changsuo, Jing Nanyue, Gu Fuchun and Fu Biao to come to Xuanting Palace to discuss matters." Yin Ranyue said.
"Yes!" Lu Kui bowed weakly, then turned and left the hall.
Ke Changsuo's Elders' Mansion.
"Elder Ke, it would be inappropriate if we don't go to greet the peak master now that he has returned. Why don't we go there now? We have to give him some face." Elder Fu Biao said.
He is the weakest of the five elders and has always been easy-going and will not fight for power.
But Ke Changsuo became a sixth-grade true immortal and was very powerful, so he had no choice but to follow his lead.
Ke Changsuo smiled coldly and looked at the two elders Jing Nanyue and Gu Fuchun.
"If it weren't for Peak Master Huangfu's insistence on letting Yin Ranyue take the position of Peak Master, this position would have long been held by Senior Brother Ke. Now Senior Brother Ke is already a sixth-rank True Immortal, and is even more qualified to take the position of Peak Master.
To be honest, Yin Ranyue is still a latecomer. If she is sensible, now that she has returned, she should come to pay respect to Senior Brother Ke and take the initiative to give up her position. In this way, Senior Brother Ke can give her the position of elder. How can Senior Brother Ke, a dignified sixth-grade True Immortal, go to pay respect to her first?" Jing Nanyan said hurriedly.
More than sixty years have passed, and Jing Nanyue is still a fourth-grade true immortal, and the gap between him and Ke Changsuo is even greater.
"That's indeed the case," Gu Fuchun agreed.
Gu Fuchun is still a fourth-grade true immortal.
"That's right. Originally, Peak Master Shentu insisted that I take the position of Peak Master, but Peak Master Huangfu insisted on pushing Yin Ranyue, so she took the position of Peak Master. Now I am already a sixth-rank True Immortal. How can she ask me to pay a visit to her as soon as she comes back?" Ke Changsuo said coldly, with a look of pride on his face.
"Master, Lu Kui asked to see you and said that the peak master asked the four elders to go to Xuanting Palace to discuss matters." As the four were talking, a disciple came in and reported.
"Does she think that just saying please will do?" Ke Changsuo smiled coldly, and then said: "Go and tell Lu Kui that the three elders and I are discussing the major issues of the development of Xuanting Peak. Please ask the Peak Master and Elder Lu to move to my Elders' Mansion."
"Elder Ke, since the peak master has specially come to invite us, it would not be a good idea for you to do this. After all, she is the master of a peak. If she really reports this to the sect master and the masters of other Xuanfeng peaks, I'm afraid..." Fu Biao frowned.
“Humph, the Sect Master and Peak Master Huangfu are now concentrating on overcoming the wind and fire disaster. Currently, many matters of the Jiuxuan Sect are mainly decided by Peak Master Shentu.
You won't forget that Master Shentu supported me to take the position of Master of Xuanting Peak, right? A few days ago, I went to visit Master Shentu, who was generous in giving me pointers and words of encouragement. "Ke Changsuo said this with a proud look on his face.
“Senior Brother Ke is highly regarded by Peak Master Shentu. He will surely become a seventh-rank true immortal in the near future.” Elders Jing Nanyue and Gu Fuchun said with a flattering look on their faces.
"Haha, don't worry, as long as you follow me, I will definitely cultivate you vigorously." Ke Changsuo said with a proud smile.
Fu Biao's face changed several times when he saw this. Finally, he gritted his teeth, bowed to Ke Changsuo and said, "Elder Ke, please forgive me. After all, the peak master is the master of a peak. I don't necessarily have to go to greet her when she returns, but since she has summoned me, as the elder of Xuanting Peak, I still have to go."
"Good, very good!" Ke Changsuo's face suddenly turned gloomy when he heard that.
"Elder Ke, please forgive me!" Fu Biao bowed again and left the hall.
"You old man, you don't know what's good for you!" Elder Ke said with a gloomy face as he watched Fu Biao leave. Then he said to the disciple who came in to report and was waiting for his reply, "What are you still standing there for? Wasn't what I just said clear enough?"
"Yes, yes!" The disciple hurriedly bowed and accepted the order, then left the hall following Fu Biao.
