Chapter 815: Just Leave If You Want

"Of course I’m the one who saved you. However, because of this Jade Pendant, I wrote a letter to the old Daoist priest, and he mentioned the affairs of the Fu family." Ye Qianning took out the Jade Pendant, letting it dangle from her fingertips.

The young man was even more shocked when he saw the Jade Pendant. His gaze fell on Ye Qianning’s face in disbelief. "You... you are..."

"That’s right, it’s me."

Receiving her confirmation, the young man became even more certain of his suspicions. "Who sent you?"

"If someone else had sent me, do you really think you’d still be sitting here alive and well?"

"Then you... let us go." Fu Chenyu bent down and picked up the toddler from the bed. He held a knife in one hand, while the other young child immediately clung to the hem of his clothes.

"If you go out there now and get discovered, you will undoubtedly die. Young Master Fu, why don’t we negotiate some terms?" Ye Qianning said unhurriedly.

"I’m not negotiating anything with you. Let us go." At this moment, Fu Chenyu trusted no one.

"You refuse to negotiate even if it costs you your life?" Ye Qianning asked.

"I refuse," Fu Chenyu replied.

"If that’s the case, suit yourself." Since things had reached this point, Ye Qianning saw no need to say anything more.

Fu Chenyu seemed a bit surprised. He slowly shuffled toward the door, and only when he saw that she hadn’t moved to stop him did he turn and run out.

"Sect Leader, are we really just letting them go like that?" Luo Feng asked in confusion.

"What else should we do?"

Luo Feng frowned slightly, not quite understanding. "Sect Leader, they are definitely hiding some secret. Isn’t letting them go like this letting them off too easily?"

"We aren’t bandits. Since they don’t want our help, let them be." Everyone had their own destiny; it couldn’t be forced. Saving them was equivalent to harboring a hidden bomb. It was a thankless task for no good reason!

"By the way, I heard you are leaving Dayu City tonight to return to the Xianyue Sect. Take this money with you." Ye Qianning pulled a stack of gold deposit notes from her sleeve.

Luo Feng had still been thinking about Fu Chenyu, but in the blink of an eye, he saw the Sect Leader handing him a very thick stack of gold deposit notes.

"Sect Leader, there’s no need. The sect’s accounting room has money, and those of us who come down the mountain receive Silver every month."

"Just take it. Buy some gifts for the sect disciples when you return, and hand the rest over to the accounting room for the sect’s expenses."

"This... this is too much." Luo Feng didn’t even dare to accept it. Each gold deposit note was worth a hundred thousand. How much money was in such a thick stack?

"Luo Feng, our Xianyue Sect can be shocked by anything, but we absolutely cannot be shocked by gold, silver, and treasures."

"But..."

"In the future, our sect will become the wealthiest place on this continent. Starting now, the sect will add a treasure appraisal course. The top student in treasure appraisal each month will be rewarded with a hundred taels." Ye Qianning felt the need to broaden their horizons so that they wouldn’t be blinded by trivial things when facing grand occasions in the future.

Luo Feng marveled at the idea of becoming the wealthiest place. He felt a surge of excitement and replied loudly, "Yes!"

"Put the gold deposit notes away. Remember to come to the Immortal Sea Building before you leave the city tonight to deliver a letter for me."

"Understood." Luo Feng took the gold deposit notes in his hands.

"You may go back first."

"Yes." Luo Feng turned and left.

Ye Qianning returned to her room and walked to the window to glance down. In the distance, she could still see Fu Chenyu’s back as he carried the toddler and led the other child through the crowd. Her gaze followed the small, moving figures, and the toddler’s voice calling her "Sister" seemed to echo in her ears.

There had been no suspicious individuals in Dayu City recently; he would be safe within the city. However, Fu Chenyu had a very stubborn temperament. Since she had discovered their identities, given his personality, he definitely wouldn’t stay in Dayu City for long.

"Luo Wen, you and Du Ying go follow him personally," she ordered.
