Wang Ye did not hide anything from Zhou Ke and directly told him everything he witnessed and the plans he had set in Nine Dragon Mountain.

Before going to Nine Dragon Mountain, Wang Ye hadn't thought of these things. It was all arranged during his time there.

After hearing it all, Zhou Ke first glanced at Tian Hailin. Although he knew his disciple was a bit simple, he wasn't the type to speak out of turn.

But the matter was grave, and Zhou Ke couldn't help but feel worried, reminding Tian Hailin:

"Don't tell anyone else about this. If the Sorcerer's Headquarters Guild hears of it beforehand, not only will our Wei City Mage Guild be at stake, but even the master of the Divine Stone Workshop will be implicated."

Zhou Ke's serious tone made Tian Hailin's expression instantly solemn, and he assured with confidence:

"Master, don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this."

"Alright."

Zhou Ke looked at Wang Ye.

Even Zhou Ke, until earlier, hadn't thought about this aspect.

Just like most sorcerers.

They cared only about their own research, and rarely did anyone venture into villages to investigate such matters.

Now, reflecting on what he had said earlier, Zhou Ke realized some of his words had a touch of "Let them eat cake."

This gave Zhou Ke a deep sense of defeat.

"Wang Ye, Tian Hailin."

Zhou Ke's voice was somewhat low: "You two go out first. Head straight to the Wei City Mage Guild. I'll stay behind to think about this matter."

"Alright."

Wang Ye straightforwardly left with Tian Hailin.

He had no worry that Zhou Ke might leak their mission if he didn't join in executing it.

...

Two hours later.

Only a little over a day was left until the Sorcerer's Headquarters opened.

Of course, going to the Sorcerer's Headquarters didn't mean meetings would start immediately. There were a series of other arrangements.

These meetings were essentially for the sorcerers to familiarize themselves with the venue and give those traveling some rest time.

On the flying ship.

Wang Ye and Zhou Ke stood together. Wang Ye had been contemplating his path in sorcery but was called over by Tian Hailin.

As for the Second Rank Sorcerer's assessment, Wang Ye had already passed it during the two hours Zhou Ke was pondering.

"I agree to participate in your plan,"

Zhou Ke said directly when he sensed Wang Ye beside him.

"I know."

There was no surprise in Wang Ye's voice; he simply acknowledged.

Zhou Ke looked at Wang Ye with some doubt: "I'm curious, weren't you afraid that while I was thinking, I might report this to the Wei City Mage Guild?"

"Even without you, if I report this significant information, the Wei City Mage Guild would ensure our guild is protected."

"Because I didn't need you to say anything; I already knew we were on the same path."

Zhou Ke laughed heartily: "Thank you for trusting me. But actually, many people, even if they want to join after knowing such things, may not have the capability."

Looking down at the towering buildings and peaks, Zhou Ke said with a sigh, because they appeared so tiny from their vantage point on the ship:

"When you first told me about your findings, I felt stupid for simply knowing the world through books and believing only what I saw, never truly understanding what those benefiting from our sorcerer research genuinely needed."

"Before, I thought I knew a lot about human affairs and various aspects, but after hearing your words, I felt a strong sense of ignorance."

"That's quite normal."

Wang Ye placed his hand on Zhou Ke's shoulder: "When I first heard about it from that little girl, I too felt like a very ignorant person."

...

Nine Dragon Mountain.

The master of the Divine Stone Workshop glanced inside, where a spectacle was unfolding.

He could sense an aura growing inside.

The master of the Divine Stone Workshop's lips curved into a smile as he muttered to himself: "Not bad, breaking through to a Second Rank Sorcerer at this moment. It seems my wait hasn't been in vain."

As his words fell.

Ji Ru Yu came rushing over.

He looked hurried and flustered.

After all, as soon as Ji Ru Yu broke through to a Second Rank Sorcerer, he realized it took longer than expected. If he didn't hurry, he might miss the Sorcerer's Headquarters competition.

No.

Even if he rushed, he might still be late.

Just as Ji Ru Yu was about to reach the master of the Divine Stone Workshop, the master's calm voice, laced with a smile, came forth:

"Third Young Master of the Ji Family, would you like a free ride with me?"

The master's words made Ji Ru Yu pause. He glanced at the master with some surprise in his eyes.

In Nine Dragon Mountain, flying ships weren't allowed.

But one person had the permission.

The master of the Divine Stone Workshop.

Moreover,

as the top merchant in the sorcerer realm, the flying ships created by another department of the Divine Stone Workshop were the fastest in Spirit Star.

With them, he could save all this time.

"Thank you, Master."

Ji Ru Yu didn't stand on ceremony with the master and, after a word of thanks, directly boarded the master's ship.

He knew the current relationship between the master and Wang Ye.

The master giving him a ride wasn't really helping him but rather helping Wang Ye.

...

Ice Sect.

Lin Shuang approached Su Guimei, and before she could speak, Su Guimei waved her hand and said to Lin Shuang:

"Alright, I know what you want to do. The Sorcerer's Headquarters meeting is about to begin, and you want to see Wang Ye."

"Honestly, I've no idea what means that scoundrel used to make such a fine woman like you all head over heels. If you want to go, then hurry up. You don't need to catch the meetings, just make sure to watch the competition."
