Yōu Qianxue said, “Father, think about it. Qin Chen let us leave, yet those from the Dawei Dynasty didn’t make a single move. They even allowed us to leave freely. Don’t you find that strange? You’ve said that the people from Liuxian Sect, even if they are controlled by Qin Chen now, are not afraid of him at all. So why do they completely disregard us and let us go? Not even a word? Moreover, it's not just Liuxian Sect; even other forces from Xuanzhou didn’t say a single thing?”
Yōu Wujin felt confused by Yōu Qianxue’s words; indeed, the exit for the people of the Five Kingdoms was too smooth.
He initially thought that after Yuwen Feng and the others left, they would definitely face some obstruction, but unexpectedly, there was not a single barrier. This was quite unusual.
Yōu Qianxue sneered, “That’s because the strong from the Dawei Dynasty simply don’t care whether we leave or not.”
At this point, she sighed, “Father, think about it, where can we go? We can only return to our respective countries and sects. These strong figures from Xuanzhou temporarily let us go, but they could directly come to Ling Tian Sect afterward. What would you do then?”
“Uh…”
YĹŤu Wujin was left speechless. He had indeed considered the situation YĹŤu Qianxue mentioned.
“So, Qianxue, once you return to the sect, you should leave the Five Kingdoms immediately. By then, even if someone comes to find you, they will have no plans.”
“Will it really be without plans?” Yōu Qianxue shook her head and glanced at Yōu Wujin, clearly thinking his idea was too naive.
“Father, if these Xuanzhou martial artists were so easy to deal with, we wouldn’t have ended up in this situation. I can guarantee that they let us leave simply because they don’t want everyone to know they obtained the secret techniques in front of so many people. Once we’re gone, they will immediately intercept us and demand the secret techniques. At that point, we’ll all be scattered, and no one will witness it. They can slaughter us at will without worrying about exposure.”
Yōu Wujin’s heart sank sharply; what Yōu Qianxue said made sense.
“As for you asking me to leave, indeed, I might be able to escape their search quietly, but where can I go? If they can’t obtain the secret techniques from you, they won’t give up easily. I might be able to leave, but what about you, Father? What about my sister? Where can the entire Ling Tian Sect go?”
YĹŤu Wujin fell silent, at a loss for words.
To relocate the entire Ling Tian Sect because of this situation, not to mention whether he was willing, even if he were, where could so many people go?
“So, Father, my staying behind is actually the best solution,” Yōu Qianxue said.
“But what use would it be for you to stay? Even if you hand over the secret techniques, with their ruthlessness, they certainly won’t let you go. You would still die. For the future of yourself and the sect, are you willing to sacrifice your daughter’s life? Qianxue, how can I face your mother after you die?” Yōu Wujin said angrily and sadly.
Watching his child fall into danger while being powerless was an unbearable feeling.
Yōu Qianxue smiled lightly, “Father, who says I will definitely die?”
YĹŤu Wujin looked up in surprise.
Yōu Qianxue looked at Qin Chen and smiled slightly, “Father, you were wrong earlier. I understand Qin Chen and know his character. You said he didn’t kill Ge Xuan and the others because he was afraid of killing the people from Liuxian Sect, but that’s not it. He’s not afraid; he simply doesn’t want to. I suspect he is also considering the Daqi Nation, which is why he didn’t kill the people from Liuxian Sect. And I believe he will definitely find a way to resolve this crisis.”
“Him?” Yōu Wujin looked at Qin Chen with suspicion, not understanding why Yōu Qianxue had such confidence in this young man.
After all, these were the strong of Xuanzhou. No matter how talented Qin Chen was, what could he possibly do?
