"You don't have to die for the time being!" Cheng Yu did not continue to ask any more questions. He sealed Deacon Liu's hands again, then turned around and left the interrogation room with the drawings.
Deacon Liu and others watched the door of the interrogation room close, and they were also stunned.
"We actually survived?" Everyone obviously didn't expect that Cheng Yu really didn't kill them, and they were overjoyed.
"Don't be too happy. He just said he won't kill us for the time being. Our life and death are still in his hands!" Although Deacon Liu breathed a sigh of relief, their current situation has not changed.
Maybe one day when Cheng Yu appears in front of them again, they will not be able to escape death.
"As long as we don't die now, we still have a chance." Xiao Wu said.
"Now our hands and feet are sealed by restrictions. Even if he doesn't kill us now, we can't escape. We will still die in the end!" He Guang tried hard to open the restrictions on his hands, but No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break the restriction, and he felt extremely disappointed.
"The Cheng family has many masters. Even if we struggle against 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 angrily.
"It's very simple. In our current situation, it is simply impossible to escape. So the only way we can survive is with the head of the Cheng family. As long as he doesn't kill us, we will definitely I won’t die!” Xiao Wu thought for a while and said.
"What you said is simple. We are here to catch him. How can you prevent Cheng Yu from killing us?" He Guang felt that Xiao Wu's words were simply wishful thinking and impossible.
"This is indeed a bit difficult. We have no bargaining chips with him now." Xiao Wu said helplessly.
"Perhaps... we can be loyal to them. In this case, there might be some chance!" Shen Tao said.
"You mean we are going to betray the foreign dynasty? Do you want to die?" He Guang said angrily.
"Even if I don't betray Wai Chao, do I still have a chance to survive now?" Shen Tao said.
He didn't want to betray Wai Chao, but he didn't want to die even more.
"What's more, if the outer court really cares about us, it will never let just a few of us arrest Cheng Yu.
Maybe the king knew that our mission would fail and we would die in the Cheng family, but he still made this decision.
Since it was Wai Chao who first sorry for us, even if I betrayed Wai Chao, I don’t feel that I have anything to do to Wai Chao. "Shen Tao continued.
He finally understood that Wai Chao clearly wanted them to die this time.
How is it possible for more than a dozen people to deal with such a big family?
Who knows if the foreign king really doesn't know the Cheng family at all, but it's meaningless to say anything now. They were caught by Cheng Yu, and whether they live or die is a matter of Cheng Yu's words.
He doesn't want to die, he wants to live.
If he could survive by selling out to foreigners, at least he wouldn't object to it now.
"I'm afraid that if you are willing to be loyal to others, they may not be willing to let you live!" Deacon Liu said.
Although it was his first time to deal with Cheng Yu, he could see that Cheng Yu was a well-established and powerful person. In addition, all the initiative was in his hands, so they had no chance to compete with him. Negotiation capital.
Now he basically told Cheng Yu what he knew. Although they were still trapped here, at least they saved their lives.
"That's not necessarily true. I think that although the Cheng family is strong, it will definitely not be able to defeat the dynasty. Maybe our strength is not that great, but in the Cheng family, we are definitely still very strong.
If we can stay in Cheng Yu and become their worshippers, we can completely protect the Cheng family for them, and the Cheng family may not refuse! "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 what they have achieved now, they have gone through many lives and deaths in exchange for it. If it's just gone, what's the point of all their hard work over the years?
He doesn't want to die, even if he lingers and sacrifices his life for the enemy, he will not hesitate, as long as he can survive.
But he knew that if he was alone, it would definitely have no weight.
After all, such a big Cheng family would definitely not be short of a master like him. Facing such a powerful enemy as the dynasty, he alone was better than nothing.
Although there are only fourteen of them here in total, with fourteen tribulation periods, this kind of power cannot be underestimated.
After all, it is not an easy task to find a dozen monks in the tribulation stage in the world of cultivation at once.
Just like the Cheng family wants to recruit more than a dozen tribulation-transcending monks in the world of cultivation, this is basically impossible.
Now that all of them have joined his Cheng family, he won't lose at all!
"Become a worshiper of the Cheng family? 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 be a worshiper of others?" He Guang said disdainfully.
For people at their level, no one wants to die.
After receiving this mission from the Outer King, he had no choice. If he had the choice, of course he wouldn't want to come.
Now that he was arrested by the Cheng family, he definitely didn't want to die.
But what can they do now to prevent Cheng Yu from killing them? At least he didn't think Shen Tao's method wouldn't work.
"He Guang is right. This Cheng Yu is a suspicious person at first glance. We were originally here to arrest him, but now we want to become the worshipers of their Cheng family and protect them, let alone him. Even I can’t believe it!” Deacon Liu said calmly.
"How will you know if you don't try? I think the most important thing is whether you agree. If I am the only one who agrees, it will definitely not be enough." Shen Tao said.
"Anyway, our current mission has failed. Even if we return to the outer court now, it is estimated that the outer king will not let us go easily.
If following your method can help us survive, there's nothing I can't accept! "Xiao Wu thought for a while and said.
He didn't want to go back to the outer court anymore, because even if they tried their best to escape back to the outer court, they would probably die.
"As long as the Cheng family is willing to keep us, I can agree!" What people didn't expect was that even Deacon Liu chose to compromise.
Sure enough, no one is willing to die like this, because it's not worth it.
The people in the interrogation room were thinking about how to survive, but Cheng Yu was sitting in the yard in a daze with the portrait of Deacon Liu.
"Who is the person in the painting?" While Cheng Yu was lost in thought, several women came over and asked looking at the portrait in Cheng Yu's hand.
"If I said it was me, would you believe it?" Cheng Yu asked with a smile.
"If this is you, then who is the person sitting in front of us now? Is it a painting?" Han Xue reached out and pinched Cheng Yu's face, smiling.
"You are so beautiful, let me see if you have painted skin?" Cheng Yu pulled Han Xue into his arms, then raised her chin and looked at her seriously.
"You are going to die, my sister and I are still here watching!" Han Xue blushed and hit Cheng Yu on the chest.
"What does it matter? We are already an old married couple. There is nothing to be shy about!" Cheng Yu said with a smile.
"You are so shameless, you think everyone is as shameless as you!" Han Xue quickly stood up from Cheng Yu's arms.
"Who is the person in this painting?" Lanya asked.
"I'm not lying to you. This is really me. It's just an identity I used to have. Didn't I tell you when I came back last time? I once went to the Inner Dynasty, and this is what I used at that time. Face!" Cheng Yu explained.
"Then why did you draw a portrait of yourself? To keep it as a souvenir? And it's so ugly!" Han Xue said.
"This was not painted by me, but by someone from the inner court. I just got it from those people.
Now the inner court has always been on my whereabouts. Of course, this me 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 are looking for you in the portrait, why did they send people to the Cheng family? Or are they actually beginning to doubt you?" Xinyao said thoughtfully.
"This is exactly what I'm worried about. They only sent so many people this time, which is obviously a test. But what exactly do they mean? Those people don't know. Maybe the situation is not as bad as we thought! Cheng Yu shook his head and said.
Now that he is far away from the dynasty's sphere of influence, he has no way to understand too much.
Last time, he organized a team of spies to go to various places to understand the movements of the dynasty. Although they had begun to send messages back to him, there was no useful information.
At least they haven't found out whether the dynasty already knows that he is a descendant of the Holy City.
So he wasn't sure if these dozen people were really just here to test his bottom line.
"In that case, what should these people do? If they are left here, will they send people to investigate again?" Yang Ruoxue asked worriedly.
"It's hard to say this!" Cheng Yu shook his head again.
"In that case, if we put them back and let them explain the situation here to the inner court, as long as it proves that you are not the person they want, then will this matter just be over?" Lin Yuhan said.
"Those people are not ours, so how can we ask them to say what we want them to say?" Lanya said.
"Isn't there a blood oath of heaven? If we use this to restrict them, can we let them speak for us and deceive people from the inner dynasty?" Yao Na said.
