Chapter 205: Chapter 129: Don’t Leave After School_5
"Then we’ll just find someone who won’t leak the information." Beichen Ying pointed at himself and said, "Junior sister, you can give all the Spirit Stones to us and let us place the bet. That way, you won’t have to worry about any leaks. Of course, since we’re placing bets for you, junior sister, shouldn’t you give us a little something for our troubles? Not much, just thirty percent will do."
"Thirty percent? Why don’t you just go rob someone!" Li Ke’s brows furrowed tightly as she glared at Beichen Ying fiercely, "Ten percent, I’ll give you at most ten percent. Any more than that, and we might as well all go down together. Then nobody will get anything."
Beichen Ying was completely stunned; he even doubt if the person in front of him was really Li Ke, "You... Everyone calls you Immortal, and yet you’re still greedy for money?"
"So what if I’m called Immortal? Can an Immortal not love money? Does an Immortal not poop or fart? Does an Immortal not pick at their toes? I’ll tell you, what I love most is money. If you take more than ten percent, then we might as well all go down together."
The Five Evils of Hundred Peaks, even including the always gentlemanly and composed Ru Wenlin, were all stunned, watching Li Ke with shocked faces.
Around them, several people who had been paying attention to the situation here since Li Ke arrived suddenly showed excitement on their faces.
"Look, look, is Immortal Li Ke getting mad?"
"It’s more than just anger, it seems like Immortal Li Ke is really furious."
"I told you, how could Immortal Li Ke possibly collude with the Hundred Peaks Six Evils? It looks like she’s going to break off with Cao Zhen."
"It’s better if they break off. Cao Zhen, how could he be worthy of Immortal Li Ke!"
"What, you think you have a chance?"
"And what if I do? If Immortal Li Ke could fancy Cao Zhen, why couldn’t she possibly fancy me?"
Inside the light screen, Beichen Ying was stunned for a long time before he suddenly sighed, "I’ve realized I was wrong. I think compared to Little Sixth Son, you’re actually more suited to be one of the Hundred Peaks Six Evils."
Li Ke shook her head, "That won’t do, master would never agree to it."
However, Zhong Xinyi suddenly asked, "Doesn’t it tire you to maintain the image of a cold and distant Immortal outside all the time?"
"Tired, how could I not be tired? But there’s no choice. I am a disciple of Vermilion Bird Peak, and moreover, I am master’s direct disciple. Only in front of a few close people can I truly be myself." Li Ke looked at Zhong Xinyi and Li Lingwei across from her, a hint of envy appearing in her eyes.
These two, although they’re called the Five Evils of Hundred Peaks, don’t have to live behind masks. If they want to drink heavily, they drink heavily. Whatever they wish to do, they just do it, without caring about the gazes of others or having to feign a cold appearance.
"It’s all right, junior sister. We’re all our own people here. From now on, in front of us, you can do whatever you want and don’t need to pretend," Beichen Ying said, "Since we’re all our own people, then we’ll just take ten percent."
"Fifth brother, wait a moment..." Cao Zhen interjected, "Actually, not only can Li Ke not bet on Hundred Peaks Sect not rising in rank, but you can’t bet either.
Now, everyone knows I’m part of the Hundred Peaks Six Evils. We are one. If you bet that our Four Treasures Peak doesn’t rise in the ranks, others will suspect there’s a problem as well."
"That’s easy, you’ve only been officially recognized as one of the Hundred Peaks Six Evils today. So long as you’re not one of the Hundred Peaks Six Evils, isn’t that problem solved? We can just put on a show."
As he spoke, Beichen Ying suddenly grabbed the wine cup in his hand and slammed it down onto the table.
"Bang!"
The wine cup shattered against Zhong Xinyi’s pearl Treasure, immediately emitting a crisp sound as it broke into pieces, scattering around and the wine splashing everywhere, as the light screen also vanished.
The sudden change made everyone around turn their heads to look.
Beichen Ying pointed at Cao Zhen and shouted loudly, "Little Sixth, I’ll still call you Little Sixth. Tell me, who do you choose, us or that Li Ke?
If you call me ’Fifth Brother’ one more time, I’ll assume none of this ever happened and you’ll still be our Little Sixth!"
Cao Zhen was completely dumbfounded, weren’t you supposed to give me a heads-up before you started performing? You just started acting out of the blue? Aren’t you afraid I can’t keep up with your pace!
Before he could speak, Li Ke had already started playing her part, "Are you hesitating?" Her soft voice began to ring out, clearly reaching the ears of the onlookers around them.
"No, I’m not hesitating," Cao Zhen instantly got into character—it’s just acting, isn’t it? I might not have eaten pork before, but haven’t I seen a pig run? I saw so many movies and TV shows in my past life, can’t I out-act you? Who are you to look down on me?
Cao Zhen imagined that Li Ke in front of him was made of countless Spirit Stones and said with deep emotion, "I might hesitate about other things, but I will never hesitate about you.
Do you know? Ke, from the first day I met you, no one else could fit in my eyes. You are the sun and the moon in my heart. All I think about every day is you, wishing to be with you every single day." ƒreewebɳovel.com
"Very well!" Unable to maintain his scholarly composure anymore, Ru Wenlin suddenly stood up, dramatically flicked his sleeves, and said fiercely, "We must have been blind. Let’s go!"
With that, he turned and walked towards the exit, and the crowd around him hurriedly made way, even from a distance feeling the overwhelming anger emanating from Ru Wenlin.
"Cao Zhen, you just wait!" Beichen Ying couldn’t resist threatening before he left.
The crowd watched in stunned silence as the Five Evils walked away and took a moment before they could react.
