Chapter 5225 Master and Apprentice

 "Why?"

The old man looked at Wang Pingbei and asked.

"Master, do you really not know?"

Wang Pingbei raised his head.

"In order to verify whether what I said is true, they will definitely use soul-searching techniques. By then, I will be crippled if not dead, or at least I will become a fool."

After hearing Wang Pingbei's words, the old man fell silent.

"Master, can you protect me?"

Wang Pingbei asked again.

The old man continued to remain silent.

When Wang Pingbei saw that he was silent and looked bitter, he already knew the answer.

"You can't protect me, right? So, I don't dare to go back to Qingyun Tower. If I go back, I will die..."

"Maybe there are other opportunities... After all, you are the genius of Qingyun Tower."

The old man said slowly.

"A turning point? Master, you should know how big this turn of events is... after all, it involves the second floor, and they must verify it clearly."

Wang Pingbei shook his head.

"I won't let myself take risks to fight for this one-in-a-ten thousand chance... Even if I hide my name and retreat from the world, it will be much better than going back."

"But you are the genius of Qingyun Tower, and your life also belongs to Qingyun Tower..."

The old man looked at Wang Pingbei more seriously.

"Yes, I am the genius of Qingyun Tower. I should be born as a member of Qingyun Tower and die as a ghost of Qingyun Tower. If Qingyun Tower asks me to die, I must die immediately."

Wang Pingbei smiled bitterly.

"But Master...I am greedy for life and afraid of death!"

"well!"

The old man sighed.

"Master, I meet you today because of your kindness to me over the years... After we meet, you can just forget about me."

Wang Pingbei's eyes turned red again.

"Just think that I died in Tian Jueyuan."

"Aren't you going to go back to Qingyun Tower with me?"

the old man asked.

"I won't go back."

Wang Pingbei shook his head.

"But as the elder of Qingyun Tower, since I have seen you, I will take you back."

The old man said slowly.

"Master, do you want to take me back?"

Wang Pingbei looked at the old man, his expression even more bitter.

"Can't it be that the relationship between you and my master and apprentice doesn't allow you to let me live?"

"well……"

The old man sighed again and shook his head slightly.

"If that were really the case, I wouldn't have given you a signal secretly. Instead, I would have captured you on the fighting field... Even if Chen Xiao is here, he can't protect you."

"I know."

Wang Pingbei nodded. After all, he was the genius of Qingyun Tower. Once his identity was exposed, Xiao Chen would not be able to protect him.

Even Zhao Cangqiong and others can't do anything.

Whoever blocks it is the enemy of Qingyun Tower!

This is a matter of principle.

It was also because of this that he thought twice before coming over to meet alone.

If he doesn't come and his master reveals his identity, it will be a big trouble.

Of course, it is possible not to say it.

However, he still wanted to meet and say goodbye.

Since his master did not reveal his identity in public, there is a high probability that he would be let go.

"Aomori and the others are dead, and Aolu is also dead...and you escaped death twice, which shows that your life should not be cut off."

The old man took a sip of tea.

"As a master, I will never send you to a dead end... Since I can come to see you alone, I just want to give you a way out."

"Thank you, Master."

Wang Pingbei breathed a sigh of relief.

"But... tell me the truth, where are the Qingyun Tower and other treasures now?"

The old man looked at Wang Pingbei with eyes like lightning.

"Master..."

Wang Pingbei's heart was suddenly relieved again.

"You just lied to me."

The old man stood up slowly, feeling a sense of coercion.

"A few days ago, the Great Elder went from Sifang City to Tianyuan City... The latest news is that everyone in Shanhai Tower also died in Tianjueyuan, and you are the only one who survived."

Wang Pingbei's heart skipped a beat, did Qingyun Tower know that everyone in Shanhai Tower was dead?

It seems that Qingyun Tower knows far more than they imagined.

"Pingbei, now...you dare to lie to Master?"

The old man's hand gently placed on Wang Pingbei's shoulder.

"..."

Wang Pingbei's heart trembled, and he subconsciously wanted to stand up.

But a force came from the hand on his shoulder, suppressing him firmly, making him unable to stand up.

"Whether it's the people from Qingyun Tower or Shanhai Tower, they are all dead...only you are alive."

The old man said in a deep voice.

"How to explain this? They are all dead, where is the treasure? I'm afraid, no one knows better than you, right?"

"Master..."

Wang Pingbei was very panicked. He couldn't figure out what his master was going to do when he asked him to meet.

Since you have already suspected him, why do you want to meet alone without letting others in Qingyun Tower know?

It was precisely because of this that he felt that his master would let him live, so he dared to come to meet him.

Now it seems that this is not the case at all.

Could it be...

A thought suddenly flashed through Wang Pingbei's mind.

Could it be that his master wanted to find out the whereabouts of the treasure from him and then keep it privately?

It's not impossible!

Exactly, very likely.

If this is the case, it can explain why his master recognized him but did not make any announcement and invited him over alone.

Moreover, there is no one from Qingyun Tower here!

In this case, even if he handed over the Qingyun Tower and so on, no one would know.

Anyway, he disappeared, and even Qingyun Tower thought he was dead... Then the master could keep the treasure without anyone noticing.

wrong……

It's not that God is unaware of it, he still knows it.

If we deal with him again, then we will really be unaware of him!

"Master wants to kill me and silence me, and then... devour the Qingyun Tower alone?"

As the thought came together, Wang Pingbei's eyes widened, a chill ran through his heart, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

"Pingbei, tell me, where is the treasure now...and Chen Xiao from Sanjie Mountain, who is he?"

The old man pressed his hand on Wang Pingbei's shoulder and gently clasped it.

"As long as you tell me, I will give you a way out."

"Master... Chen Xiao is from Three Realms Mountain..."

Wang Pingbei tried hard to calm down and regretted coming to meet him.

"In the eyes of the outside world, you are also from Sanjie Mountain and are Chen Xiao's follower... No one knows that you are the genius of Qingyun Tower."

The old man shook his head.

"So, I have doubts about Chen Xiao's identity."

"..."

Wang Pingbei's thoughts suddenly changed. Master had already become suspicious of Xiao Chen's identity. How should he make it up?

"Pingbei, I know you, so don't try to deceive me... As long as you tell the truth, no matter what I can't bear to do to you, I will definitely give you a way to survive."

The old man said again.

"Master, Chen Xiao really comes from Three Realms Mountain... He saved my life, and I happened to be unable to return to Qingyun Tower, so I followed him."

Wangping North Road.

"Is he the one who saved you in Tian Jueyuan?"

The old man's eyes flashed.

At that time, Qinglu spoke through the sound transmission stone, but did not mention much about who saved Wang Pingbei.

"Yes."

Wang Pingbei nodded.

"In other words, he saved you and met Qinglu together. Later, Qinglu, Chen Jiangtao and the others died, but you lived."

The old man stared at Wang Pingbei.

"The nine-star divine spear and other treasures are all in Chen Xiao's hands?"

"No...no."

Wang Pingbei's expression changed. Except for Xiao Chen's identity, everything else... was pretty much the same.

"Chen Xiao..."

The old man frowned. If the Qingyun Tower and other treasures fell into Xiao Chen's hands, it would be a bit troublesome.

Nothing else, Xiao Chen is too strong.

It's not that easy to get the treasure back.

What's more, he still wants to get the treasure without anyone noticing.

"Master, the Nine-Star Divine Spear was snatched away by Chen Jiangtao..."

Wang Pingbei shook his head.

"Chen Jiangtao was not dead at that time. As for how he died, I don't know."

"You lied to me."

The old man's voice turned cold, and the hand on Wang Pingbei's shoulder moved to his neck.

Wang Pingbei trembled and did not dare to resist at all.

He knew very well that as long as the master exerted force, he could break his neck, leaving him unable to fight back.

"Pingbei, master, I owe you as much kindness as a mountain, right?"

The old man's tone softened a bit.

"As long as you hand over the treasure, I will not kill you and let you go... From now on, no matter whether you follow Chen Xiao or remain anonymous, no one will know anymore."

"Master, will you...really let me live?"

Wang Pingbei felt bitter in his heart. Yes, his master was also a ruthless character... Fortunately, he thought that the master-disciple relationship would allow his master to let him go.

Now it seems that, as he guessed, the reason why he came to him without making any announcement was not because of the relationship between master and disciple, but because he wanted to monopolize the treasure!

"I'm afraid, if I hand over the treasure, you will kill me immediately to prevent me from spreading the news."

Upon hearing Wang Pingbei's words, a cold light flashed in the old man's eyes, but was quickly suppressed.

He did think so.

This proud disciple, after leaving Qingyun Tower, can no longer be used by him.

What's the use of keeping it?

No matter how proud you are, if it is no longer useful, it will become worthless waste.

"How could that be? You are Master's proud disciple. In my eyes, you are equivalent to my child."

The old man shook his head.

"The treasure is indeed in your hands... As long as you hand over the treasure, I will let you leave."

"Master, since you can see it, I won't hide it from you."

Wang Pingbei nodded.

"That's right, Qingyun Tower, Nine-Star Divine Spear, etc. are all in my hands, not only them, but also the East Pole Shield of Shanhai Tower, etc."

"oh?"

The old man's eyes flashed with greed, more than he imagined.

"However, I didn't bring it with me, and even Chen Xiao didn't know about it... If he knew about it, do you think I can still keep it?"

Wang Pingbei said again.

"I buried them all in a place in Tianjue Abyss, and I thought about digging them out later."

"where?"

The old man's eyes lit up.

"It's not far from Tianjue Peak... So you probably don't have any idea. If you have a pen and paper, I'll draw it for you."

When Wang Pingbei said this, he paused.

"I wish I had drawn it and you could have let me live."

"Can."

The old man was filled with treasures and released his hand from Wang Pingbei's neck.

The main thing is that he is confident that he can handle Wang Pingbei.

He is the master!

"Follow me inside. There are pens and paper inside."

"good."

Wang Pingbei stood up, and when the old man turned around, he rushed outside.
