"Mr. Ren, if you are willing to let the three of them go, I am willing to kowtow and kneel before you, is that alright?"
As he spoke, Yuan Suiyun pretended to kneel down to Shen Zhao.
Seeing that the atmosphere had been set for a while, Shen Zhao immediately spoke up to stop him: "Your Majesty, as the ruler of a country, must not do this."
"Fine, as they say, it's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester. Letting them go isn't impossible, as long as they agree to a few conditions."
Yuan Suiyun immediately said to Xu Shuyu and the others, "Why don't you thank Mr. Ren?"
Dong Chao and Xu Shuyu remained silent. They had long been accustomed to a life of luxury, always making demands on others and treating human life as worthless.
It would be an utter disgrace to expect them to listen to and agree to Shen Zhao's conditions.
Upon seeing this, Shen Zhao sighed softly, "Alas, it seems they are unwilling to reconcile with me. Let it be then."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Suiyun became anxious: "You bunch of brats, if you continue like this, I will no longer care about you."
Upon hearing this, Dong Wen was the first to stand up and say, "Okay, you name it, I'll agree to whatever your conditions are!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhao sheathed his sword and returned it to its feathered form, his swordsman persona instantly transforming into that of a Confucian scholar.
"My condition is simple: let's leave it at that and don't pursue this any further. Can you do that?"
Dong Wen immediately nodded and replied, "Of course I can, of course I can do it."
Can you represent both of them alone?
Shen Zhao pointed at Xu Shuyu and Dong Chao, who both looked unconvinced.
Dong Wen immediately glared at the two of them: "What are you doing? Are you really courting death?"
Xu Shuyu gritted her teeth and had no choice but to bow to Shen Zhao: "Alright, let's leave it at that. I accept."
Dong Chao also said, "Let's leave it at that. Since His Majesty has spoken, we naturally have no objections."
After saying this, the two of them, along with the remaining assassins and bodyguards, fled Huayang Palace as if they were escaping.
Before leaving, Dong Wen gave Shen Zhao a meaningful look, and then reluctantly followed her brother away.
After everyone left, Yuan Suiyun said with a smile, "Mr. Ren, I keep my word. I hope you will take charge of the Sword Sect."
Shen Zhao: "Since Your Majesty values talent so much, it would be ungrateful of me to refuse any longer. Ren Piaomiao, thank you for Your Majesty's kindness."
"Hahaha, good, good!"
Yuan Suiyun was overjoyed.
"My husband is like rain after a long drought, hahaha."
At this moment, a maidservant beside Yu Xuanji brought over a note: "Sir, my young lady says that you must go to Yu Pin Xuan tonight to participate in the literary competition."
The reasons are all written here; please take a look, sir.
Shen Zhao flipped open the note and glanced at it.
Instantly, his aura became extremely fierce.
"Very well, an amusing provocation. Please go back and tell your young lady."
I'll definitely be there on time tonight. Make sure she's thoroughly cleaned and prepared to face the consequences of her actions!
After speaking, Shen Zhao turned the note in his hand into ashes and disappeared from the sword-testing platform.
