"Don't be mistaken. To the Cheng Family, we are invaders, enemies. Do you think that the Cheng Clan will let you off just because you've lost the courage to fight against them? "Elder Tang said angrily.
"We know that the Cheng Family might not let us off, but we feel that with the strength of so few people,
Because, if they wanted to confront the Cheng Family head-on, it was no different from striking a rock with an egg.
Instead of going head-on against the Cheng family, I think we can talk to the Cheng family. Maybe there's a chance to turn things around, "Zhou Tiancheng said.
Anyone with a discerning eye would know that if they dared to oppose the Cheng Family, they would basically be destroying themselves.
He believed that Elder Tang was well aware of this. However, due to his identity and responsibilities, he would not consider this issue like the others.
Sometimes, even if he knew he would die, he had no choice but to choose.
But they were different. They didn't want to die. If there was a chance, they still hoped to have a good talk with the Cheng Family. At the very least, they could let them live.
"Talk? How are you going to negotiate with the Cheng Family? Do you think that under such circumstances, we have no advantage? Why would the Cheng family talk to us? Elder Tang said.
Now that they were invaders, they had no right to negotiate with the Cheng Family.
At least in terms of survival, the Cheng Family would definitely not let them go down the mountain.
"That's not necessarily true. If Elder Tang agrees, as long as we tell them our identities and our purpose in coming to the Cheng Clan, we might be able to keep our lives," Zhou Tiancheng said.
"You mean you want us to betray our master?" Elder Tang said angrily.
"Don't be angry, Elder Tang. This isn't a betrayal. We are just exchanging with them. In any case, it doesn't matter even if we tell the Cheng Family about this.
Elder Tang, think about it. With Master's strength, what could the Cheng Family do to him?
As long as we can return alive, won't we be able to tell Master everything that happened here? At that time, not only will we not be considered as betraying Master, but it can also be said that we have done a great service for Master! "Zhou Tiancheng laughed.
"Elder Tang, I think Tiancheng is right. At this time, we definitely can't fight the Cheng Family head-on. If we do that, we will definitely be the ones to suffer.
Therefore, we should follow Tiancheng's method. We should use the soft approach. The most important thing for us now is no longer to complete the mission given to us by Master.
Furthermore, we've been staying with the Cheng family for so long, so we have a general understanding of the Cheng family's strength. Isn't this what Master wants to know?
Furthermore, when we return, the more powerful the Cheng Family is, the more advantageous it will be for us. That way, even if we don't complete the mission, I believe that Master won't blame us.
After all, the Cheng Family's strength is based on facts, and it's not like we're bragging. Hence, the most important thing for us to do now is to find a way to leave the Cheng Family.
As long as we leave the Cheng Family, we'll have the final say over at Master's side, "Yin Tianzong agreed.
He had been here for too long. He knew that even if Elder Tang and the others were here, they would not be able to complete this mission.
What's more, this could be a trap set by the Cheng family. Moreover, the Cheng family was already waiting outside. Would they still have a chance to complete the mission?
Of course not.
Therefore, in this case, Zhou Tiancheng's suggestion was very correct.
"Elder Tang, we've been trapped in this pagoda for so long. We can responsibly tell you that our mission is basically impossible to complete.
Hence, there's really no need for us to consider the problem of the mission anymore. Furthermore, the head of the Cheng family is right outside. We can't possibly search for the secret of this place in front of him.
The only thing we can do now is to find a way to leave this place, "Xu Shouwang said.
After trying so many times here, he had long since understood.
No matter how many people there were, it would be useless. They could only leave this place first and explain the situation to Master. That would be enough.
"Perhaps what you said is right, but you're thinking too simply. It's not that I don't want to talk, but the Cheng family might not give us this chance.
Do you think that the Cheng family will let us leave the Cheng Family just because of what you said? You're really daydreaming, "Elder Tang said as he shook his head.
It wasn't that he didn't understand this logic, but he was very clear. If he looked at it from another perspective, as the head of the Cheng family, wouldn't he let a group of enemies break into the Cheng Family just because of this bit of information?
Wouldn't that be letting the tiger back into the mountain?
"How would we know if we don't try? Regardless of whether the Cheng family agrees or not, we have to at least talk to them first. As long as they are willing to let us go down the mountain, we might be able to exchange for something else with them, "Zhou Tiancheng said.
"For example?" Elder Tang asked.
"This …" Zhou Tiancheng was stunned. He really hadn't thought of this.
"Right now, we don't know what to trade with them. That depends on what they want, so let's talk to them first," Ji Wuping said.
"Alright, since all of you are so insistent, then let's give it a try first." Seeing that everyone was in favor of this, Elder Tang had no other choice but to wait and see.
After Elder Tang finished speaking, he stood in front of the window and looked at Cheng Yu, who was guarding the tower. Just as he was about to speak, he didn't expect Cheng Yu to speak first.
"The people inside, listen up. You've been surrounded. I hope you can give up your pointless resistance and surrender immediately" Cheng Yu shouted.
When Han Yaowu and the others heard the Patriarch's words, they immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
Isn't the Patriarch's words a bit too childish? They weren't stupid. If they dared to take such a big risk to sneak into the Cheng Family, how could they surrender so easily?
"Patriarch Cheng, you guys are really scheming. If I'm not wrong, you should have already discovered us a long time ago, right?" Elder Tang looked at Cheng Yu and asked.
Although no one was willing to fight the Cheng Family head-on, he was indeed very curious about this.
Moreover, it was impossible for him to negotiate with the other party from the start. Wouldn't that prove that they had already given up resisting?
At the very least, he had to test the other party's strength first.
"Unfortunately, you found out too late." Cheng Yu said with a smile.
"So you already knew when we entered the Yunfeng Pagoda?" Xu Shouwang asked curiously.
At that time, they had been very careful, but after encountering all kinds of trouble inside, they had been guessing whether the Cheng Family knew that they were already in the pagoda.
Now, he wanted a definite answer.
Not only Xu Shouwang, but Yin Tianzong and Chao Shi also wanted to know the answer.
"Otherwise, why do you think there are no guards in the Yunfeng Pagoda every night?" Cheng Yu said with a smile.
"This … You are saying that these guards originally withdrew because we wanted to enter the pagoda?" This time, not only Xu Shouwang and the others were shocked, even everyone in the pagoda was shocked.
"It's not just to let you enter the pagoda. After all, I also don't know where you want to go. Therefore, I have withdrawn all the guards in the Cheng Family. No matter where you want to enter, I will always welcome you.
After all, those who come are guests, and I, Cheng Yu, have always been hospitable, "Cheng Yu said with a smile.
"This … How can this be? If I didn't remember wrongly, when we first arrived at the Cheng Family, your guards had already withdrawn at the Yunfeng Pagoda. Could it be that the moment we arrived at the Cheng Family, you already knew? "Yin Tianzong seemed to have realized something was wrong.
When they first arrived at the Cheng Family, none of them had any contact with each other. This was to prevent the Cheng Family from discovering their relationship.
Instead, after staying in the Cheng Family for a period of time and understanding the Cheng Family's situation, they started to contact and carry out their mission.
In addition, when they first arrived at the Cheng Family, they realized that the Cheng Family's guards had withdrawn at the Yunfeng Pagoda.
But according to what Cheng Yu said, at that time, these guards had withdrawn because of them. Didn't this mean that when they first arrived at the Cheng Family, they had already been discovered by the Cheng Family?
How was this possible?
They really couldn't understand. Because they thought that in the few days that they had arrived at the Cheng Family, they were absolutely flawless.
How was it possible for Cheng Yu to discover their identity on the second day? Because on the second day, they only came out at night to understand the situation.
"Guess … Is there such a possibility?" Naturally, Cheng Yu wouldn't tell them the truth.
"This is absolutely impossible. How was it possible for you to know our identity the moment we arrived at the Cheng Family?" Elder Tang was also very suspicious.
This Cheng Family Head was really unfathomable.
But if he didn't discover their identity from the start, then how could they explain everything that happened next?
Only when their actions were completely under the Cheng Family's surveillance, would the Cheng Family be able to set up such a perfect trap. Everything was under their control.
"So what if it's possible? So what if it's impossible? To you, it's no longer important. The important thing is now, do you choose to resist? Or do you choose to surrender? Cheng Yu said with a smile.
The secret of the identity token would be a secret forever. Other than those important people who already knew about it, he couldn't let anyone else know about it.
"We will definitely not be able to defeat you all. However, even if the Cheng Family's Patriarch were to capture us, it would still be meaningless to the Cheng Family's Patriarch," Elder Tang said.
"That might not be the case. At the very least, I can know who sent you Cheng Yu said indifferently.
"If the Cheng Family Head just wants to know where we came from, I can tell you now. However, I hope that the Cheng Family Head can let us live. "Elder Tang said very directly.
He knew that in front of Cheng Yu, there was no point in beating around the bush.
