C1355 Let Them Go I'll Stay as a Hostage

"Even if you want to keep a hostage, one person is enough"

Xuan Yuzi blocked Aa Qing and Chen Feng behind him and bowed to Xue Yueqing.

"City Lord, if you want to keep a hostage, keeping me here is more useful than keeping these two mortals who have yet to enter the sect."

"So, please let them go. I will stay as a hostage."

Xue Yueqing did not doubt anything, because what Xuan Yuzi said made sense.

Two mortals who had yet to become disciples of the Xuanqing Sect naturally could not be counted as disciples of the Xuanqing Sect. It could even be said that it had nothing to do with them.

At that time, if the Xuanqing Sect didn't acknowledge them as disciples of the Xuanqing Sect, then where would they find hostages?

Moreover, her action of capturing mortals as hostages would inevitably cause others to hold back their words and be criticized.

"Alright, you and one of your disciples will stay behind. The remaining one can go back and report."

Xuan Yuzi's face trembled and his brain raced.

Xue Yueqing saying so was already conceding. He could not bargain anymore, or else he might not be able to leave even one.

But to directly ask Chen Feng to leave, if Xue Yueqing noticed something, she might leave Chen Feng behind instead.

Whoever he asked to leave would be the one who valued the most. Naturally, it would be the person he valued the most, and it would be most beneficial to Xue Yueqing.

But if Aa Qing left and Xue Yueqing did not think too much about it, wouldn't it be like lifting a stone and smashing her own feet?

What should he do?

Therefore, after hesitating for a moment, he nodded and said, "Then let Feng stay. I will trouble City Lord to send someone to send Aa Qing back to Xuanqing Sect."

Xue Yueqing was indeed suspicious. Her cold eyes lingered on Chen Feng and Aa Qing for a moment and the corner of her mouth curled up.

"Let your male disciple go back. Your female disciple can stay and talk with me."

If her aptitude was good, there was no harm in taking Aa Qing in.

Anyway, she had not entered the Xuanqing Sect yet, so she could not be counted as a member of the Xuanqing Sect.

There must be a reason why Xuan Yuzi took a fancy to her.

As for Chen Feng, he was still a man, so it wasn't appropriate.

"This..." Xuan Yuzi pretended to be seen through, and his expression became ugly.

He froze for a while, then lowered his head helplessly.

"Since City Lord wants to keep her, then let her stay."

Little did he know, with his head lowered, the corner of his mouth also curled up, and he almost couldn't help but laugh.

However, before he could rejoice for a few seconds, Chen Feng splashed cold water on his head.

"Master, what if I get killed by her people on the way?"

"I'm just a mortal. She has a grudge with the Xuanqing Sect. The people she sent must hate us as well."

"If that person wants to kill me, I won't be able to fight back."

Xuan Yuzi couldn't help but be stunned. He thought for a moment and agreed.0

Chen Feng had yet to become a disciple of the Xuanqing Sect. Even if he was killed by Xue Yueqing's men on the way to vent his anger, the Xuanqing Sect still wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

Then what should he do? Ask Chen Feng to stay as well?

It seemed like he could only stay. It was too risky to return to the Xuanqing Sect with Xue Yueqing's men.

If Chen Feng died on the way back, the Xuanqing Sect wouldn't be able to bear such a loss, and they wouldn't be able to bear it either.

Therefore, he raised his head and looked at Xue Yueqing with a troubled expression.

Xue Yueqing did not care whether Chen Feng stayed or not. She glanced at Chen Feng and snorted coldly, "You are quite alert. Forget it, you all can stay together. My City Lord's Mansion does not have a pair of chopsticks with you."

Mortals still had to eat. Xue Yueqing did not intend to make things difficult for them. Their food and accommodation would still be arranged.

"Thank you, City Lord."

Xuan Yuzi nodded helplessly. He looked at Chen Feng and could not help thinking that Chen Feng seemed to be calm and relaxed. He did not think that Chen Feng's thoughts were quite meticulous.
