You don't have to die for the time being Cheng Yu didn't continue asking. He once again sealed Deacon Liu's hands and left the interrogation room with the blueprint.
Deacon Liu and the others watched as the door to the interrogation room closed. They were also stunned.
We actually survived? Everyone obviously didn't expect that Cheng Yu would really not kill them. They were immediately overjoyed.
Don't be happy too early. He just said that he won't kill us for the time being. Our lives are still in his hands Although Deacon Liu was relieved, their current situation hadn't changed.
Perhaps one day when Cheng Yu appeared in front of them again, they wouldn't be able to escape death.
As long as we don't die now, we still have a chance. Xiao Wu said.
Right now, our hands and feet are sealed. Even if he doesn't kill us now, we won't be able to escape. In the end, we still won't be able to escape death He Guang tried his best to break the restriction on his hands, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break the restriction. He was extremely disappointed.
There are many experts in the Cheng Family. Even if we break the restriction, do you think we can escape from the Cheng Family? Xiao Wu said.
Then what better way do you have? He Guang asked snappily.
"It's very simple. Given our current situation, it's impossible for us to escape this place. Therefore, the only way for us to survive is with the Cheng Family Patriarch. As long as he doesn't kill us, we definitely won't die Xiao Wu said after thinking for a while.
What you said is simple. We are here to capture him. What way do you have to make Cheng Yu not kill us? He Guang felt that Xiao Wu's words were simply wishful thinking. It was simply impossible.
This is indeed a bit difficult. We no longer have any bargaining chips to trade with him. Xiao Wu said helplessly.
Perhaps... we can pledge our loyalty to them. In that case, we might have a chance Shen Tao said.
Are you saying that we want to betray the outer court? Do you want to die? He Guang said angrily.
Even if I don't betray the outer court, do I still have a chance to live? Shen Tao said.
He didn't want to betray the outer court, but he didn't want to die even more.
What's more, if the outer court really cared about us, then they definitely wouldn't just let us capture Cheng Yu.
Perhaps the External King knew that our mission would fail and that we would die in the Cheng family, but he still made this decision.
Even if I betrayed the Outer Dynasty, I don't think I've done anything wrong to the Outer Dynasty, "Shen Tao continued.
He finally understood that the Imperial Court had sent them to their deaths.
How was it possible for a dozen people to deal with such a large clan?
God knows if the Outer King really didn't understand the Cheng Family at all. However, it was already meaningless to say anything now. They had been captured by Cheng Yu. Their life and death depended on Cheng Yu's words.
He didn't want to die. He wanted to live.
If he could survive by betraying the dynasty, at least he didn't oppose it now.
"I'm just afraid that even if you're willing to pledge loyalty to them, they might not be willing to let you go!" Deacon Liu said.
Although this was the first time he had come into contact with Cheng Yu, he was able to tell that Cheng Yu was a very shrewd person. Furthermore, Cheng Yu's strength was very formidable. In addition, all the initiative was in Cheng Yu's hands. They basically did not have any capital to negotiate with him.
Now, he had basically told Cheng Yu everything he knew. Although they were still trapped here, at least they had saved their lives.
"That might not be the case. I think that although the Cheng Family is strong, they will definitely not be able to fight against the Imperial Dynasty. Perhaps our strength isn't that great, but in the Cheng Family, our strength is definitely very strong.
If we can stay in Cheng Yu and become their worshippers, we can completely protect the Cheng Family for them. I think the Cheng Family might not reject us. "Shen Tao said.
Wu Jiang died in front of him. Seeing Wu Jiang's fate, he really couldn't bear to die.
In order to achieve their current achievements, they had experienced many life and death situations in exchange. If it was gone just like that, then what was the point of all their years of hard work?
He didn't want to die. Even if he had to struggle at death's door and sell his life for the enemy, he wouldn't hesitate. As long as he could survive, it was fine.
However, he knew that if he was alone, he definitely wouldn't have any weight.
After all, such a big Cheng Family definitely wouldn't lack an expert like him. Facing such a powerful enemy like the Imperial Dynasty, he alone was better than nothing.
Although they only had a total of 14 people here, 14 Tribulation Realm cultivators couldn't be underestimated.
After all, it wasn't an easy task to find more than 10 Tribulation Realm cultivators in the cultivation world at once.
For example, it was basically impossible for the Cheng Family to recruit more than 10 Tribulation Realm cultivators in the cultivation world.
Now that all of them had joined his Cheng Family, he wouldn't lose out no matter what.
"Become the Cheng Family's worshippers? Protect the Cheng Family for him? Do you think Cheng Yu will believe you? Don't be naive. We are just their captives. You still want to become their worshippers? "He Guang said disdainfully.
For people at their level, no one was willing to die.
He had no choice but to accept the mission from the Outer King. If he had a choice, of course he wouldn't want to come.
Now that he was captured by the Cheng Family, he definitely didn't want to die.
However, what could they do to make Cheng Yu not kill them? At least he didn't think that Shen Tao's method wouldn't work.
"What He Guang said is right. This Cheng Yu is a suspicious person. We were originally here to capture him, but now we are going to become the Cheng Family's worshippers and protect the Cheng Family for them. Not to mention him, even I can't believe it Deacon Liu said in a deep voice.
How would you know if you don't try? I think the most important thing is whether you agree or not. If I'm the only one who agrees, it definitely won't be enough. Shen Tao said.
Anyway, our mission has already failed. Even if we return to the Outer Dynasty now, I don't think the Outer King will let us go so easily.
If we can survive according to your method, there is nothing I can't accept! "Xiaowu thought for a while and said.
He didn't want to return to the Outer Dynasty because even if they tried their best to escape back to the Outer Dynasty, it was very likely that they wouldn't be able to escape death.
As long as the Cheng Family is willing to let us stay, I can agree What no one expected was that even Deacon Liu chose to compromise.
Sure enough, no one was willing to die like this because it wasn't worth it.
The people in the interrogation room were thinking about how to survive, while Cheng Yu was holding Deacon Liu's portrait and sitting in the courtyard in a daze.
Who is the person in the painting? Just as Cheng Yu was lost in thought, a few women walked over and looked at the portrait in Cheng Yu's hand and asked.
If I said this is me, would you believe me? Cheng Yu asked with a smile.
If this is you, then who is the person sitting in front of us right now? Could it be a painted skin? Han Xue pinched Cheng Yu's face and said with a smile.
You're so beautiful, let me see if it's a painted skin. Cheng Yu pulled Han Xue into his embrace, then lifted her chin and looked at her with a serious expression.
Do you want to die? Big sister and little sister are still here watching Han Xue's face flushed red as she hammered Cheng Yu's chest.
What does it matter? We're already an old couple, what's there to be shy about? Cheng Yu said with a smile.
You're really shameless. Do you think everyone is as thick-skinned as you? Han Xue quickly stood up from Cheng Yu's embrace.
Who is the person in this painting? Lan Ya asked.
I'm not lying to you. This is really me. It's just that it's just a former identity of mine. Didn't I tell you when I came back last time? I've been to the inner court before. At that time, I used this face Cheng Yu explained.
Then why did you draw your own portrait? A souvenir? And it's so ugly Han Xue said.
This wasn't drawn by me. It was drawn by someone from the inner court. I just got it from those people.
Right now, the inner court has always been searching for my whereabouts. Of course, this is just the me in this portrait. They probably don't know my true identity yet. Otherwise, they wouldn't be holding this painting Cheng Yu explained.
But since they're looking for you in the portrait, why would they send someone to the Cheng family? Or are they already starting to suspect you? "Xin Yao said thoughtfully.
This is exactly what I'm worried about. This time, they only sent so few people. It's obvious that they want to test us. But what exactly do they mean? Those people don't know. Maybe the situation isn't as bad as we think Cheng Yu shook his head and said.
Now that he was far away from the dynasty's sphere of influence, he had no way of understanding the situation.
Last time, he organized a team of spies to go to various places to understand the movements of the dynasty. Although they had already started to send him messages, there was no useful information.
At least they hadn't found out if the dynasty already knew that he was a descendant of the Holy City.
Therefore, he wasn't sure if these dozen or so people were really just here to probe him.
Since that's the case, what should we do with these people? If we keep them here, will they send more people to investigate? Yang Ruoxue asked worriedly.
That's hard to say Cheng Yu shook his head again.
"If that's the case, if we let them go and let them explain the situation here to the inner court, as long as they prove that you are not the person they want, this matter will be over, right?" Lin Yuhan said.
Those people aren't our people. How can we ask them to say what we want them to say? Lan Ya said.
