"Yes." Lu Pingan's heart trembled. He thought to himself,'I've already disappointed Chen Jiu time and time again. If I can't even handle such a small matter, then there's really nothing more to say.'
However, it turned out that preventing Xin Yijie from getting in touch with Bing Wuqing was no small matter, especially not a simple one.
To be more precise, it wasn't difficult to stop Xin Yijie from getting close to Bing Wuqing. However, what if Bing Wuqing took the initiative to go to Xin Yijie?
Bing Wuqing hadn't thought of this before, but after hearing the rumors, even an outsider could tell that Xin Yijie was on Lin Yi's side. In this situation, the best way to contact Lin Yi, other than forcing her way through the sky Ascension cliff, was through Xin Yijie.
Lu Pingan couldn't stop her at all. He didn't dare to stop her, and he couldn't do anything. He could only watch as Bing Wuqing spoke to Xin Yijie. There was nothing he could do.
After hearing this news, Chen Jiu, the Grand Elder, finally couldn't sit still anymore. He furrowed his brows and said, "What's the relationship between Bing Wuqing and Lin Yi? She came all the way from Nakajima just to see Lin Yi, and she couldn't even push him away after pushing him a couple of times, and now she's not even leaving! Is this over?"
Whether it was him or Lu Pingan, both of them had tried to figure out the exact relationship between Lin Yi and Bing Wuqing during their previous two meetings. It was a pity that Bing Wuqing was tight-lipped and didn't reveal any inside information.
"Master, we can't go on like this. It's too dangerous to leave such an unstable factor here. We have to find a reason to persuade him to leave as soon as possible." Lu Ping 'an said with a bitter face. When faced with a nascent soul cultivator like Bing Wuqing, he really had no way of dealing with her. He was completely led by the nose, and sooner or later, he would be in trouble.
"Do you think you can get this God of plague to leave just because you want to?" Of course, Chen Jiu wanted to get rid of Bing Wuqing as soon as possible, but with Bing Wuqing's attitude, how could he leave if he didn't get to see Lin Yi?
"He won't give up until he gets what he wants. It's unrealistic to let him go if he doesn't see Lin Yi. Master, why don't we just let him go to ascending the cliff?" Lu Pingan suggested.
"Hmph, you're too naive! Do you think he'll leave obediently after seeing Lin Yi? With the current situation, if he really is on good terms with Lin Yi, wouldn't he stay and help Lin Yi? wouldn't that make us a strong enemy?" Chen Jiu scoffed at this suggestion.
Let Bing Wuqing meet Lin Yi? He wouldn't do something so stupid unless he had water in his brain. There would only be one result-Bing Wuqing wouldn't retreat obediently, but Lin Yi would be like a tiger that had grown wings.
Lin Yi alone was already enough to make him feel helpless. If he really had to deal with Bing Wuqing, who was at the original infant stage, what could he do?
"Master, I actually think it's not impossible." Lu Pingan said meaningfully.
"What?" Chen Jiu furrowed his brows. However, seeing that the other party's expression was rather firm, he motioned for the other party to continue.
"Master, putting Bing Wuqing aside, our negotiation with Lin Yi has already reached a stalemate. Deputy sect leader Chen's condition is getting worse by the day, and we can't drag this on any longer. We need to find a way to break out of this situation, and this Bing Wuqing just happened to be the one who came to us." Lu Pingan said.
"Be more specific," Chen Jiu's interest was immediately piqued.
"Yes, since it's a negotiation, there will always be concessions and compromises. I think we can make concessions and let Bing Wuqing go to see Lin Yi, but the condition is that Lin Yi must cure Deputy sect leader Chen." Lu Pingan said.
"You think Lin Yi will agree?" Chen Jiu was deep in thought.
"It depends on what he's thinking. Everyone knows that you're the pillar of our green cloud sect, master. Without your approval, no one can stand firm here. So if Lin Yi wants to have a proper foothold in our green cloud sect, he'll have to make peace with you. If we give him a suitable way out, he'll definitely give in." Lu Pingan analyzed.
"But what if he has other intentions?" Chen Jiu frowned.
"There's nothing more to say. No matter what, we can at least test the other party's attitude. In order to break the game, we can only make the first move. What do you think, master?" Lu Pingan carefully suggested.
They were already in a passive position, and now that Bing Wuqing was here, things were even more so. Since they had no choice but to make the first move, they might as well be more straightforward and test the other party's stance.
Chen Jiu muttered to himself for a moment. With Chen Dongcheng's current condition, it was indeed not wise to continue dragging things out. In the end, he could only nod and say, "Let's do it this way, then. You go talk to them, but you have to remember that our purpose is not just to test them. The most important thing is to quickly think of a way to get Bing Wuqing away. As long as he's gone, everything else will be our internal problems. We can talk about it however we want, and I might even have to go and see Lin Yi myself. "
What he meant was that as long as he could fool Bing Wuqing, a huge threat from the outside world, away, then Lin Yi wouldn't be able to escape from him, a nascent Soul Stage Grand Elder, no matter how strong he was.
"I understand." Lu Pingan immediately acknowledged the order and left.
Xin Yijie was a little surprised by Lu Ping 'an's concession. However, after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was reasonable. After all, even Bing Wuqing, a nascent soul expert, had traveled thousands of miles to help them. If Chen Jiu's side continued to hold on and refuse to give in, they would be the ones to suffer in the end.
This time, Xin Yijie wasn't going to beat around the bush like before. He brought Lu Pingan to Lin Yi and asked him to talk to Lin Yi face to face.
"Grand Elder, you want me to cure Chen Dongcheng?" Lin Yi raised his eyebrows at Lu Pingan's words.
"Yes, you also know that sect leader Hong is not here now, and now Deputy sect leader Chen is like this. There is no one in the entire North island's Green cloud sect who can manage the big and small Affairs. No matter what kind of disagreement you have with the Grand Elder, in the end, you still have to consider our green cloud sect, right? Such a big sect, it can't be that there isn't even a proper person to receive guests from the outside, right?" Lu Ping 'an's face was full of earnest and well-meaning advice.
"What are the conditions?" Lin Yi said casually.
The Grand Elder has said that as long as you can cure Deputy sect leader Chen, he can choose to take a step back and let Bing Wuqing come here to see you." Lu Pingan smiled.
"Just this?" Lin Yi said with a half-smile.
"..." Of course, this wasn't the only condition Lu Ping 'an had gotten from Chen Jiu!
