Kunze was silent for a while, seemingly contemplating some pros and cons, before deciding to sit down.
After a long time, Kunze raised his head, looked at Yang Chen and Ye Xin, and said in a deep voice, "Alright, you don't have to return to the sect, and the sect won't bind you, ensuring you don't have to stay in the sect. However, you must agree to one condition."
Yang Chen raised his eyebrows.
He hadn't expected Kunze to agree to their request so easily.
This somewhat caught Yang Chen off guard, as the negotiation was progressing too quickly, and the result they wanted came too swiftly.
Nonetheless, Yang Chen remained unmoved and would not blindly agree to Kunze's request.
He said indifferently, "What condition?"
Kunze directly replied, "I require you to join the Shangqing Sect as disciples. Although you don't have to stay in the sect, you must fulfill the duties of a Shangqing Sect disciple and protect the sect's safety."
