Seeking the Way of Immortality

After a while, Liu Xiao appeared in Wu Zheng's room. Wu Zheng waved his hand, and a soundproof light shield formed by his consciousness quietly took shape.

Liu Xiao's expression changed, knowing that his master had already known the Liu family's actions, so he said: "Master, it's so late, why did you summon your disciple here?"

Wu Zheng asked Liu Xiao to sit down: "Tell me about the series of actions of the Liu family in recent times, don't say you don't know."

Wu Zheng's voice was mixed with a hint of coldness, and it was obvious that he was very dissatisfied.

Liu Xiao was not stupid. At this time, he fully understood his master's mood. No one could remain calm after paying countless efforts and getting such a look.

"Master, please forgive me, I am incompetent." Liu Xiao knelt down on the ground, not daring to look directly at Wu Zheng.

Wu Zheng looked at Liu Xiao who was kneeling on the ground calmly and said, "If you still recognize me as your master, tell me what happened in Pingyang City during this period of time. If you hide anything, our relationship as master and disciple will end here!"

Liu Xiao's face was pale. He didn't expect his master to be so radical and not give him any room to relax.

Bean-sized drops of sweat dripped down his forehead. He was struggling with his mind. The Liu family was his family, the place where he was born and raised, but Wu Zheng had a grace of rebirth for him. From the first time he followed Wu Zheng to refine pills to Wu Zheng's departure, he was thousands of miles away and sent people to send pills to help him advance. Although he was only a nominal disciple at that time, Wu Zheng's concern for him was no less. When he heard the news of Wu Zheng's death, he went crazy. Later, he heard the news that Wu Zheng was still alive. At that time, he swore that he must follow his master in this life.

When Wu Zheng returned again, he accepted him as his personal disciple and gave him the skills that countless cultivators dreamed of.

Originally, everything was developing in a good direction, but he did not expect that his aunt's actions would invisibly push the master and apprentice to a strange path.

Contradictions filled his heart. He knew that everything Wu Zheng did was for the Liu family. Everything he did was only good for the Liu family, not bad, but the people of the Liu family were reluctant to leave this barren Pingyang City.

Time passed quietly.

Liu Xiao could not speak. Wu Zheng shook his head, with a complicated look in his eyes, not knowing whether it was relief or disappointment.

"Liu Xiao, you don't have to be embarrassed. I know you are a good child. I already know the answer from your expression. Now I only ask you one thing, you answer honestly."

"Master, please speak." Liu Xiao's eyes seemed to be angry again.

"How do you feel about Chan'er?"

Liu Xiao was stunned and instantly understood that his master also knew about this matter.

"Master, Xiao'er has been lonely since childhood. In the huge Liu family, there are not many people who are really close to me. Since the master appeared, he has treated me like a son. Although Liu Chan is not your disciple, I can see that Liu Chan relies on you and regards you as a father. Although Chan'er and I have just known each other for a short time, we are as close as brothers and sisters because of your existence. Apart from this, there is no other relationship, and there can be no other relationship. Please rest assured about this." Liu Xiao knelt down and said.

The voice was firm and came from the heart.

Wu Zheng sighed and said: "Xiao'er, I don't mean anything else. How old is Chan'er? She is less than thirteen years old! She is still a child. I didn't expect that I was gone for more than a month, and the Liu family actually had such thoughts about Chan'er. If your aunt hadn't talked to Liu Chan, and Chan'er was precocious, she would have mentioned this to me, and I would still be in the dark. I am angry that you didn't protect Chan'er well."

"Master, I am wrong, please punish me." Liu Xiao said ashamedly.

"Forget it! Everyone has their own ideas. I can't impose mine on anyone." Wu Zheng waved his hand and said.

"Another point is, don't tell anyone about what happened today, no one can, understand?" Wu Zheng said seriously.

"Yes, Master." Liu Xiao answered affirmatively.

"Liu Xiao, the master is leaving! I know you won't go with me, but I'll give you a word before I leave." Wu Zheng looked at Liu Xiao and said.

Liu Xiao's expression was complicated: "Master, please speak."

"The bigger your heart is, the bigger the sky is!"

As soon as the voice fell, Wu Zheng waved his hand, and Liu Xiao appeared outside Wu Zheng's room.

Liu Xiao didn't understand the meaning of his master's words, but he knew that from this moment on, he would lose a close relative.

Facing Wu Zheng's door, Liu Xiao knelt down on the ground, kowtowed three times, and then turned and left, his back was desolate, like an old man in his twilight years.

Wu Zheng sat alone in the room, his expression was calm, but he had no intention of practicing, he was waiting for someone.

Late at night, a full moon hangs high in the sky, and a trace of cold air enters the room through the window. The night in early spring is still a little cold.

"Come in!" Wu Zheng's voice sounded faintly.

Liu Qian looked embarrassed and said, "You know everything."

Wu Zheng looked at Liu Qian, neither denying nor admitting, but there was a flash of deep disappointment in the depths of his pupils.

"What do you know?" Wu Zheng asked in surprise, and his expression was realistic, as if he really didn't know anything.

Liu Qian was stunned and said, "Oh, nothing, I just said it casually."

"Qian'er, I have something to discuss with you." Wu Zheng looked normal.

"What do you say?"

"It's like this. At first, I was not very thoughtful when I planned to let the Liu family leave. Recently, I also found that I was a bit too much, so I thought of a way to have the best of both worlds." Wu Zheng said with a smile.

"Really, you have a way to have the best of both worlds?" Liu Qian asked in surprise.

"Yes." Wu Zheng said affirmatively.

"What method?" Liu Qian seemed a little impatient and asked excitedly.

"Build a teleportation array between Pingyang City and the Arctic ice field."

"Teleportation array, yes! Why didn't I think of it!" Liu Qian said excitedly.

"But the premise is that the Liu family must cooperate."

"Don't worry, the Liu family will definitely cooperate in this matter." Liu Qian answered affirmatively.

"There is another thing, that is, the defense of Pingyang City is still too weak!"

"Yes! I know that, but the Liu family's strength is limited, and there is no high-level array master. It is already quite good to build the fortifications of Pingyang City into what it is now!" Liu Qian said helplessly.

"Well, I have a way to strengthen the defense of Pingyang City, but the people of the Liu family must cooperate."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true."

"Okay, I'll discuss it with grandpa and give you an answer tomorrow."

After saying that, he left Wu Zheng's room without caring about him. Liu Qian cares more about anything that is beneficial to the Liu family than anyone else, not to mention that the entire Pingyang City now belongs to the Liu family.

I don't know when it started, but the words between the two gradually became less and less, especially when the Liu family had something to do, Liu Qian often ignored him.

For these, Wu Zheng has become accustomed to it and just smiled faintly.

The road is made by people. He has no right to interfere with what kind of road the Liu family chooses, but after today, he and the Liu family are just friends.

There is nothing in Pingyang City that he misses anymore.

If he had a crush on Liu Qian a few years ago, or felt a little guilty, now he and Liu Qian have reached an extreme. He doesn't believe Liu Qian doesn't have feelings, but since Liu Qian didn't mention it, he doesn't want to mention it either. Perhaps as time goes by, they will become strangers and never meet again.

Wu Zheng had this feeling a few years ago, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.

Fortunately, he didn't deprive Liu Qian of her essence. He has done enough for the Liu family over the years, and the guilt he once felt has long disappeared.

There is only so much he can do!
