Women dressed as men: My executive officer is so handsome

"You all go down."

Wang Zi was brought into the peak master's office by Liao Ye Shi, who waved his hand to dismiss all the guards.

The metal door closed, and just as Liao Ye Shi turned around to look at Wang Zi, a cold dagger was placed on his neck.

What followed was the boy's cold question.

"Why would you give the necklace to someone else? You know that thing is not simple."

These were the words of blame that came out of his mouth. Liao Ye Shi was stunned for a moment, then chuckled.

"So you recognized it a long time ago..."

Wang Zi snorted, "Where is the thing?"

Liao Ye Shi did not answer his question, but started talking to himself.

"You are still as decisive as before, and still as ruthless. I am half your father anyway."

That hoarse, mocking voice was completely different from the previous one. If Liaoye Yixian didn't know him well enough, he would have never recognized it.

Wang Zi turned around and pulled away the dagger.

"Where is the thing?"

Putting the dagger back on his waist, he ignored Liao Yeshi's mumbling and asked again.

Liao Ye Shi smiled, slowly with a hint of bitterness in his face.

"To be honest, I don't know either."

Before Wang Zi could speak, he spoke again, "Ah Xian, whether you believe it or not, I have never thought of harming you."

"That day five years ago... too."

Wang Zi retracted his gaze and gave a meaningful smile, "What's the reason?"

Liao Ye Shi seemed to begin to recall what happened that day, with an unknown emotion flashing across his eyes.

"You were on a mission at that time, and I wanted to give you the item when you came back this time. It just so happened that I received a message from the former peak master that day."

"He asked me to meet him and said there was something that only I could do and asked me to come."

Wang Zi was silent for a while, "You mean there is something wrong with the previous peak master?"

Liao Yeshi smiled kindly.

"Do you remember what I told you when you first came to the Thirty-Six Peaks? I lied to you about the selection method of the peak masters of all generations..."

"..."

"No, I can't say it's a lie. I should say, I don't know either."

He looked at the tall young man in front of him, a look of relief in his eyes, and murmured something.

"It's already so big..."

"And then?" Wang Zi urged him coldly, fearing that he would talk nonsense again.

"Then...I went to accept the invitation."

"As soon as I stepped through the door, he shot me in the chest, but unfortunately I dodged it and the bullet landed here..."

He raised his hand and pointed to his shoulder, speaking.

“I asked him, what does this mean?”

"He told me that he was trying to protect his position as the peak master."

Wang Zi frowned, as if he understood something.

"You know that, right? That's right, the way to select the thirty-six peak masters is to fight with the best killers."

The light in his eyes faded and dimmed as he stated every word.

"Whoever is alive is the peak master."

"Once every ten years, and the examiners are the guards under the command of the peak master."

"Do you think those guards are loyal? Yes, they are usually loyal, except for the selection that happens once every ten years."

Liao Ye Shi sighed deeply and smiled helplessly.

He raised his hand to touch Wang Zi's head, but found that he could not touch his head with habitual movement. The boy had already grown to be as tall as himself.

“I was originally wearing that necklace, but after I defeated the previous peak master and passed out from exhaustion…it disappeared.

The leading guard told me that the winner had to abandon his original identity, and the necklace was thrown away as well.

I asked them, since I am the peak master now, can I order them to get the necklace back? He said yes.

But when I looked for it, the necklace was no longer there. It had been picked up by someone.”

"I'm sorry, Xian... Master can't help you..."

Wang Zi looked at him without any of his previous coldness.

"Forget it, I'll look for it myself."
