“I thought that no matter how strong Lin Yi is, since he’s called the Taigu great uncle-master of our Qingyun sect, he wouldn’t dare to make things difficult for us. Otherwise, no matter if his identity is real or fake, he’ll still be our sect’s mortal enemy. I believe he’s very clear about this.” Lu Ping ‘an’s words were not self-deception. After all, after the disappearance of sect leader Hong Zijun, the Chen family faction had now become the core power of the North Island’s Green cloud sect. Once they completely fell out with the Chen family faction, it would be equivalent to declaring war on the entire North island’s Green cloud sect. No one could bear the consequences.

“Haven’t we already shed all pretenses of cordiality?” Chen Jiu glanced at him.

“Yes, but we haven’t completely shed all pretense of cordiality. Although Deputy sect leader Chen’s state is very worrying, he’s not dead yet, is he?” Lu Pingan’s tone was respectful.

“You mean he left himself some leeway?” Chen Jiu nodded slightly. He was a little overwhelmed by anger just now, but now that he calmed down and thought about it carefully, it made sense. Since Lin Yi had the means to make Chen Dongcheng half-dead like this, it would be even easier for him to kill Chen Dongcheng if he wanted to, but he didn’t do it. The meaning behind it was obvious.

“That’s right. If I’m not wrong, he’s doing this to send a message to you, master. ” Lu Pingan said.

“What message?” Chen Jiu asked.

“He wants to talk to you,” Lu Pingan said respectfully. Just now, he didn’t understand what exactly was going on, but now that he came back to his senses, he could see it very clearly.

It was clear that Lin Yi was using Chen Dongcheng as bait to force Chen Jiu, the Grand Elder, to show himself. If the negotiations went well, Chen Dongcheng could still be saved, but if the negotiations didn’t go well or fell through, Chen Dongcheng naturally couldn’t be saved.

“Interesting. Then do you think I should go talk to him?” Chen Jiu looked at Lu Ping ‘an with a profound expression.

“This …” Lu Pingan hesitated for a moment, then said firmly,””In this disciple’s opinion, we shouldn’t talk about it.”

“Not talking? Wouldn’t that mean that the East City is beyond saving?” Chen Jiu’s gaze suddenly became sharp, almost piercing Lu Pingan’s mind. He was suspicious of the other party’s intentions!

It was true that Lu Pingan was one of his few personal disciples, but in his heart, his status was far from being comparable to Chen Dongcheng ‘s. Even if he was a personal disciple, he was only an outsider. On the other hand, Chen Dongcheng carried almost all the hope of the Chen family on the North Island. How could he be compared?

With Chen Dongcheng around, no matter how strong or outstanding disciples like Lu Pingan were, they were destined to only be the green leaves. But if Chen Dongcheng died, it would be a completely different story for them.

It was impossible to find a second Chen Dongcheng within the Chen family of the North Island. Disheartened, Chen Jiu might very well turn to find a qualified successor among his disciples, and the one with the most hope was Lu Pingan.

In the ancient martial world, the concept of a clan was much more important than that of a master and disciple. This was different from the Sky Class Island, but more similar to the secular world.

“Master, please calm down. Your disciple’s sincerity towards you and Deputy sect leader Chen can be seen by heaven and earth. However, looking at the big picture, you really can’t do it yourself, because that would only let Lin Yi have his way.” Lu Pingan said hurriedly.

Chen Jiu was silent for a moment, and he just squinted at Lu Pingan. In order to show that he had no disloyalty, Lu Pingan could only brace himself and look him in the eye. Even though his back was covered in cold sweat, he didn’t dare to move his eyes away.

Finally, Chen Jiu’s gaze softened.”Get up and talk.”

“Yes.” Lu Ping ‘an finally heaved a sigh of relief. The other golden core stage higher-ups who had come up with him also stood up. In the end, they were all sent away by Chen Jiu’s glare and a single word from him.

“Tell me your thoughts.” Chen Jiu said indifferently.

“in your disciple’s opinion, once you step in, master, there’s no way to turn things around. if you don’t come to an agreement with lin yi and fall out with him, the first person to suffer will be deputy leader chen. if you don’t fall out with him, then people will think that you’ve confirmed his ancient great uncle-master identity, and it’ll be hard for you to reverse the verdict.” lu pingan analyzed.

“But if I don’t show up, won’t the East District still suffer?” Chen Jiu furrowed his brows. No matter what, he had to ensure that nothing happened to Chen Dongcheng.

“So, I think we can talk to him, but you can’t do it yourself. You should send someone else to talk to him. No matter what the result is, there is still room for compromise. It’s not too late to make a decision after we’ve tested the other side’s attitude.” Lu Pingan suggested.

Chen Jiu muttered to himself for a moment before finally making a decision.”Alright, then I’ll send you to talk to him and find out his bottom line. Remember, no matter what, you can’t harm Dongcheng’s life!”

“This disciple obeys!” Lu Pingan was overjoyed. He had taken the risk to come up with this suggestion in order to fight for this great opportunity to perform and make a contribution. No matter what the result was, as long as he performed well, he would definitely occupy an even more important position in Chen Jiu’s heart. If Chen Dongcheng was truly beyond redemption in the end, then the opportunity for him to achieve his great ambitions would come.

Looking at Lu Ping ‘an’s back as he left the mountain, Chen Jiu sighed slightly. He looked at the unconscious Chen Dongcheng on the ground and said faintly,””It’s a pity that he doesn’t have the family name …”

When they arrived at ascending cliff, Xin Yijie had already been sent away by Lin Yi to win over the people. There was only him, song Lingshan, and a few others in the ascending heaven formation. Ziyu’s eyes went wide when she saw Lu Pingan.”Lin Yi bro, you’re really good at calculating!”

“What kind of divine calculation is this? As long as that Grand Elder isn’t an idiot, he’ll probably send someone to talk to me. The only difference is who he’s going to talk to. Alright, you guys can go back and cultivate. Don’t bother about these bullshit matters. ” Lin Yi smiled as he gestured for everyone to leave.

“Disciple Lu Ping ‘an greets senior granduncle.” Lu Ping ‘an bowed solemnly.

“Oh? So you’re acknowledging me as your martial granduncle?” Lin Yi couldn’t help but smile.

“Martial granduncle, you must be joking. Whether your identity is real or fake has not yet been determined, but from this disciple’s point of view, as long as there is a one in ten thousand chance that your identity is real, this disciple must also treat you as the real martial granduncle, and dare not show the slightest bit of disrespect.” Lu Ping ‘an said, neither obsequious nor haughty.

“Hehe, you really know how to talk.” Lin Yi sized him up and asked,”Why did you come to find me?”

“I’m here for Deputy sect leader Chen …” Lu Pingan said carefully.
