What's more, how could there be a peak? You can't even get a single peak bamboo?

The ninety-ninth place in this Hundred Peaks Competition also received two peak bamboos.

Cao Zhen said with helplessness on his face: "Actually, I don't want to either. I also want to improve the ranking of our Four Treasures Peak. I don't want others to call us the Hundredth Peak. I also want to revitalize our Four Treasures Peak."

.

But there is no way. Our Sibaofeng's foundation is too weak. If we want to develop, Sibaofeng needs more resources. We can only pass this Hundred Peaks Competition. And if we want to make more money,

Only if you buy Sibaofeng, your ranking will not rise."

Deng Qixing nodded understandingly and said in a shocking tone: "I know, if I were you, I would do the same thing! The problem is, you should tell me in advance! Wouldn't it be better if you let me follow you and make some money?"

Cao Zhen was suddenly embarrassed: "Well...you won't win by buying our Sibaofeng too, right?"

Deng Qixing nodded and said matter-of-factly: "I bought it. At first I wanted to buy all my belongings from your Si Baofeng victory. But then I thought about it and couldn't put one egg in one basket, so I took it out again."

Half of the money will buy us at Qixing Peak to improve our ranking."

"This... Master Deng, I'm really sorry. You know, many people know about my relationship with Lao Chao. I'm afraid that if Lao Chao buys Sibaofeng, the ranking will remain unchanged, which will attract other people's attention and make others guess.

That’s why we didn’t tell you our plan. How much money you lost this time, we, Sibaofeng, will replenish it for you.”

"No compensation. Not only did we not lose, we also made a profit." When Chao Ziyi heard that Cao Zhen was going to compensate them, he quickly said, "Although the odds of our Qixing Peak ranking rising, we can't compare with your Si Bao Peak ranking first."

The odds ratio for being ranked 100th, but the odds are pretty good, and in the end we still earned some spiritual stones."

Deng Qixing smiled awkwardly, and his heart was already bleeding. He is a stupid apprentice. If someone wants to give him money, you can do whatever you say. Sibaofeng just made such a large sum of money, so it’s not like he doesn’t have money.

What are you talking about?

"It's okay, this, it's a one-time deal, Master Deng, how many spiritual stones you bought from our Four Treasure Peak, I will compensate you according to the odds of fifty." Cao Zhen looked at Deng Qixing seriously,

No matter what, the reason why Qixing Peak has risen in rankings by buying Four Treasure Peaks is because of myself. I still have to pay for this money. The key is Elder Tongplate.

"Well, how can this be so embarrassing?" Deng Qixing deliberately pretended to be embarrassed and said, "We actually bought two thousand taels of spiritual stones from the Four Treasure Peak, and Peak Master Cao gave us another hundred thousand taels of spiritual stones. This is too much."

I'm sorry. If this gets out, my reputation will..."

When Xiao Beiyan heard this, he immediately said seriously: "In this case, for the sake of the reputation of the peak master, don't take it."

Deng Qixing looked at the hundred thousand taels of spiritual stones that Cao Zhen had already taken out, but he reached out and grabbed them, shouting: "Reputation is just a passing cloud."

"It's just a passing cloud..." Xiao Beiyan wanted to say more, but Cao Zhen came back and shouted, "Okay, Xiao Beiyan, go and see if everything is ready."

As he spoke, he looked at Elder Tongdie and said: "Uncle Master, you...don't blame me, I really do it for the future development of our Four Treasures Peak..."

Elder Tongdie raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Do you think I am that kind of old antique and stubborn? If you do this, it will be beneficial to the future development of Sibaofeng. I will naturally support you. However, this time you have tricked me.

My friend also bought Sibaofeng with me."

Cao Zhen immediately said: "Uncle Master, I will pay you the odds of fifty for whatever amount you and your old friend bought the Four Treasures Peak." This time, he really took advantage of Elder Tongplate.

"No, no need." Elder Tongdie wanted to refuse directly, but as he spoke, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face and he said: "You... just pay back my old friend's money.

"

As he spoke, his face turned completely red. Cao Zhen was his junior, and he had been thinking about leaving some spiritual stones for Cao Zhen, but now, he asked Cao Zhen for the spiritual stones.

However, he had to give it to his old friend's spiritual stone. After all, it was he who bought it with his old friend to rise in the ranking of Si Baofeng.

"Uncle Master, how many taels of spirit stones did your friend buy from our Four Treasure Peak? I just said, fifty times will be given to you." Cao Zhen said as he walked up to Elder Tongdish with the spirit stone ticket.

Elder Tongdai is someone who really cares about him. He will give him a hundred times, let alone fifty times.

Elder Tongdie waved his hands repeatedly and said: "No, you don't have to give it five times. You only need to give me fifty thousand taels of spiritual stones, and I will return them to my old friend. Don't give more. If you give more, my old friend will definitely do it."

If you ask me, if I can't give you a reason, he will become suspicious, and in the end he may think that Sibaofeng deliberately lost the Hundred Peaks Competition."

Cao Zhen nodded and said: "Okay, I will listen to you and give him 50,000 taels of spiritual stones, but uncle, what about you? I will also compensate you for the spiritual stones you bought yourself."

"What do I need your spiritual stones for?" Elder Tongdie pointed at himself and said, "I am alone and have nothing to worry about. What use do I need those spiritual stones for? I put them for bets because I just want to give the four

Baofeng left some spiritual stones, you earned the spiritual stones, you can use them for yourself, why give them to me."

"But..." Cao Zhen thought for a while, but took out two fifty thousand taels of spirit stone tickets, handed them to the elder Tongdie and said: "Then, if I don't give fifty times to the uncle, I have to give it to the elder anyway.

You have some spiritual stones. Uncle Master, don’t refuse directly. Just think that these spiritual stones are for my safekeeping.

You also know that I am very lavish and use spiritual stones very quickly. Now, you are holding 50,000 taels of spiritual stones for me. When I run out of spiritual stones, I can ask you for them."

He knew that if he said that he would give Elder Tongplate more spiritual stones, Elder Tongplate would definitely not want it. A total of one hundred thousand taels of spiritual stones would be given to Elder Tongplate, which was just right, so that Elder Tongplate could accept it.

"Okay, then I'll accept it." Tongdian took the spirit stone ticket, looked at Cao Zhen's face, and couldn't help but sigh, "Xiao Cao, you have really grown up and become sensible."

How could he not know that after living for such a long time, Cao Zhen said he was asked to keep those spiritual stones, but in fact they were meant for him to use.

Cao Zhen in the past could not say such words. Cao Zhen has really matured since he became the peak master.

He glanced around again and reminded: "Xiao Cao, what you did this time was indeed hidden, but it is impossible to keep this matter completely hidden. After all, if the Hundred Peaks and Five Evils are less, then others will not

You think too much, but they bet so much, everyone knows they made a lot of money, and everyone is not stupid, so they will still doubt you.

If they doubt it, let them doubt it. After all, Sibaofeng did not openly admit defeat directly. You can never admit that you lost on purpose. If you don't admit it, others will just doubt it. There is no direct evidence. Master Zhangzong, neither

What will happen to you?"

"Don't worry, uncle, I won't talk nonsense." Cao Zhen nodded heavily. He was not stupid, and he would definitely not take the initiative to run out and admit it.

On the side, Deng Qixing also nodded. He finally understood why when Cao Zhen informed him to come today, he specifically said not to bring other disciples. It turned out that he wanted to tell the secret.

Naturally, the fewer people who know this kind of secret, the better.

Elder Tongdie also looked around and saw that there were indeed no outsiders nearby. It was naturally impossible for the disciples of Sibaofeng to betray their master.

Although the Baifeng Five Evils have a bad reputation, they are participants and have made money along the way, so they probably won't tell them. Li Ke is Cao Zhen's Taoist companion, so there is no need to worry.

As for Deng Qixing, as long as Xiao Cao and Deng Qixing's apprentice became sworn brothers, Deng Qixing would definitely not betray Xiao Cao.

Elder Tongdie thought of this and looked at Deng Qixing with a smile on his face: "Master Deng, I think it's almost time. Shall we start the ceremony?"

Deng Qixing raised his head and glanced at the sky, nodded slightly and said: "From now on, Elder Tongdie please..."

He is Chao Zizai's master. Cao Zhen's master is no longer here, so Elder Tongdie is his elder. In fact, if he and Li Ke have become Taoist companions, Tu Zhuque can be his elder.

In fact, the sworn relationship with Jinlan is different from becoming a Taoist couple. It does not necessarily require the presence of elders. However, if there are elders, they will still be invited.

"Um... can you wait a moment?" Cao Zhen glanced around for a week and said anxiously: "I have a friend who hasn't arrived yet."

Elder Tongdie suddenly frowned and said: "How can a sworn knot with Jinlan be a piece of cake? The time has come and it is about to begin. How can it be delayed just because one person is not here?"

Cao Zhen said there was a friend who didn't arrive, so he didn't even have to think about it, it must be that Chen Shizhi.

He had heard that Cao Zhen had such a friend, but he did not think that Chen Shizhi regarded Cao Zhen as a friend.

He couldn't understand. Cao Zhen was obviously much more mature than before, so why couldn't he see through Chen Shizhi?

After the sworn friendship with Jinlan is over, I have to remind Cao Zhen a few more words.

Cao Zhen saw that he could not delay, so he had no choice but to give up.

Although Sibaofeng is simple and has no decent place, Sibaofeng also has its own ancestral hall to worship the ancestors of Sibaofeng.

The ancestral hall is also the best building built in Sibaofeng.

Outside the ancestral hall, three animal sacrifices of pork, fish, eggs, and a live rooster were already placed.

All sworn knots are made with roosters. Men are sworn as roosters, and women are sworn as hens.

Cao Zhen and Chao Zizai knelt in front of the incense table. Each held a stick of incense and a bowl of wine. The wine was red blood wine, and the blood was the blood of the rooster. They each pricked their fingers and collected the blood in their hands.

Drop it into the bowl, drink it each, and make an oath at the same time.

"Huang Tian Hou Tu takes this into consideration. Today I, Cao Zhen of the Four Treasures Peak (Chao Zizai of the Seven Stars Peak), have become brothers of the opposite sex. We will be in the same boat for a long time in the future, and we will work together to break the gold..."

"Okay, okay, okay!" Seeing that Cao Zhen and Chao Zizai had completed their sworn vows, Elder Tongdie said hello three times and looked at Cao Zhen with a happy face and said, "Xiao Cao, you are now sworn to Jinlan,

Uncle Master, I’m just waiting to see the Taoist couple ceremony between you and Li Ke.”

Everyone around him heard the sound and became excited.

"Yes, Xiao Liuzi, when will you allow us to truly call Li Ke sister-in-law?"

"Master, when can we call you Master?"

Cao Zhen suddenly had a big headache. Calling his wife or his younger siblings? Just wait. You won't be able to wait until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.

Li Ke looked at Cao Zhen and said softly: "Come here, I have something to tell you."

Everyone around suddenly burst into laughter, and Beichen Ying even shouted: "Xiao Liuzi, why are you still standing there? Go quickly, my brothers and sisters can't wait to discuss the Taoist Companion Ceremony with you."

Cao Zhen secretly laughed in his heart. We were just pretending to discuss the Taoist couple ceremony. I guess Li Ke wanted to discuss with him when to stop pretending to be a Taoist couple.

He followed Li Ke out of the ancestral hall, but Li Ke did not leave immediately, but continued to fly forward, directly into a dense forest, and Cao Zhen could only follow closely.

Behind, Xiao Beiyan quietly turned around and shouted to everyone: "I saw it, Master and Mistress went into the woods."

In the grove, Cao Zhen finally caught up with Li Ke and said with a speechless expression: "I said, you just told me that we should end pretending to be Taoist monks. It's just a matter of one sentence. You don't need to run so far.

Bar."

"It's over? Who told you that I'm going to end pretending to be a Taoist companion with you? I gave you so many spiritual stones and just let you pretend for a few days, wouldn't I have suffered a big loss? If you don't pretend now, I won't

I’m so annoyed by Master!”
