"I think that no matter what kind of powerful existence Lin Yi is, since he is known as the Tai Gu Uncle-Master of Blue Cloud Sect in the north island, he will never dare to fall out with us easily. Otherwise, no matter whether his identity is true or false, he will become the mortal enemy of our sect. I believe he knows this very well." Lu Pingan's words were not self-deception. After all, after the disappearance of the chief Hong Zijun, the Chen family faction had now become the core force of the Blue Cloud Sect in the north island. Once they fell out with the Chen family faction, it was equivalent to starting a war with the entire Blue Cloud Sect in the north island, and no one could afford the consequences.
"Isn't this already falling out?" Chen Jiu glanced at him.
"Yes, but it's not completely falling out. Although Deputy Chief Chen's state is very worrying, he is not dead after all, isn't he?" Lu Pingan's tone was respectful.
"You mean that he left himself some leeway?" Chen Jiu nodded slightly. He was a little overwhelmed by anger just now. Now that he calmed down and thought about it carefully, it really made sense. Since Lin Yi had the means to make Chen Dongcheng half-dead, it would be easier for him to kill Chen Dongcheng if he wanted to. However, he did not do so, and the meaning was self-evident.
"Yes, if I'm not wrong, he did this to pass a message to you, Master." Lu Pingan said.
"What message?" Chen Jiu asked.
"He wants to talk to you." Lu Pingan said respectfully. He didn't understand the specific situation just now, but now that he came back to his senses, he had already seen it clearly.
Obviously, Lin Yi was using Chen Dongcheng as bait to force Chen Jiu, the Tai Shang Elder, to show up in person. If it went well, Chen Dongcheng should still be saved. If it didn't go well, then Chen Dongcheng naturally couldn't be saved.
"Interesting, then do you think I should talk to him?" Chen Jiu looked at Lu Pingan meaningfully.
"This …" Lu Pingan hesitated, and then said firmly, "In my opinion, we shouldn't talk."
"Don't talk? Then Dongcheng can't be saved? " Chen Jiu's gaze suddenly became sharp, almost piercing Lu Pingan's mind. He was suspecting the other party's intentions!
It was true that Lu Pingan was one of his few pro-disciples, but in his mind, Lu Pingan was far from being comparable to Chen Dongcheng. Even pro-disciples were just outsiders, while Chen Dongcheng carried almost all the hopes of the Chen family in the north island. How could they compare?
With Chen Dongcheng around, disciples like Lu Pingan, no matter how strong and outstanding they were, were destined to only be supporting characters. However, if Chen Dongcheng died, it would be a completely different story for them.
There was no second Chen Dongcheng in the Chen family of the North Island. Disheartened, Chen Jiu was likely to find a qualified successor among his disciples, and the most promising one was Lu Pingan.
In the Immemorial Underworld, the concept of a clan was greater than that of a master and a disciple. This was different from the Heaven Stage Island, and it was similar to the concept of the secular world.
"Master, please calm down. Disciple's sincerity towards you and Vice Head Chen can be seen by the heavens and earth. It's just that considering the big picture, you really can't do it yourself. That would only let Lin Yi succeed." Lu Pingan said quickly.
Chen Jiu was silent for a moment, squinting at Lu Pingan. In order to show that he had no disloyalty, Lu Pingan could only bite the bullet and choose to look at him. Even if his back was sweating profusely, he did not dare to look away.
Finally, Chen Jiu's gaze softened. "Stand up and talk."
"Yes." Lu Pingan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and other high-level Gold Core cultivators who came up together also stood up. However, they were all glared at by Chen Jiu, who sent them away with a single word.
"Tell me what you think." Chen Jiu said lightly.
"In this disciple's opinion, once you show up in person, there will be no room for negotiation. If you and Lin Yi don't come to an agreement and fall out in front of each other, the first to suffer will be Deputy Head Chen. If you don't fall out with him in person, then the news will inevitably spread, making people think that you have personally confirmed his identity as the Immemorial Uncle-Master. At that time, if you want to reverse the case and deal with him, there will be no justification." Lu Pingan analyzed.
"But if I don't show up, isn't it Dongcheng who will suffer?" Chen Jiu frowned. In any case, he must protect Chen Dongcheng.
"So, this disciple's opinion is that we can talk to him, but Master can't show up in person. We should send another person to talk to him, so that no matter what the result is, there is still room for advance and retreat. It is not too late to make a decision after testing the other party's attitude." Lu Pingan suggested.
Chen Jiu pondered for a moment and finally decided. "Well, then I will send you to talk to him and find a way to find out his bottom line. Remember, no matter what, you can't hurt Dongcheng's life!"
"Yes, Master!" Lu Pingan was overjoyed. He was willing to take the risk to suggest this so that he could get this chance. No matter what the result was, as long as he performed well, he would be able to occupy a more important position in Chen Jiu's heart. If Chen Dongcheng really couldn't be saved in the end, then Lu Pingan's chance would come.
Chen Jiu sighed softly as he watched Lu Pingan leave. He looked at the unconscious Chen Dongcheng on the ground. "Too bad he's an outsider …"
They arrived at the Sky Reaching Cliff. Xin Yijie had already been sent out by Lin Yi to gather people's support. There was only him, Lingshan, and the others in the formation. Ziyu's eyes went wide when she saw Lu Pingan's figure. "Lin Yi bro, you really are a genius!"
"What kind of divine foresight is this? As long as the Grand Elder isn't an idiot, he'll probably send someone to talk to me. The only difference is who. Alright, you guys go back to practitioning. Don't bother with this bullshit, "Lin Yi waved them off with a smile.
"Disciple Lu Pingan greets Grand Elder," Lu Pingan bowed solemnly.
"Oh? So you guys admit that I'm the Grand Elder now? "Lin Yi couldn't help but smile.
"You must be joking, Grand Elder. Whether or not your identity is real isn't confirmed yet, but from your disciple's standpoint, as long as there's a one in ten thousand chance that you're real, I will treat you as the real Grand Elder. I won't dare disrespect you at all," Lu Pingan said.
"Haha, you sure know how to talk," Lin Yi sized him up. "What business do you have with me?"
"I'm here for Vice Head Chen …" Lu Pingan said carefully.
