Murong Xue, a girl detached from worldly affairs, had always been kind-hearted.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have trusted Xia Feng so completely when they first met, believing everything he said.
However, Xia Feng's perspective was different. He had seen and experienced far too much.
Gongyang Jie and Xuanyuan Hao now appeared to be sincerely surrendering. But what about the future?
In a few hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand years?
When he left the Sacred Realm, how would Murong Xue control them?
Therefore, his role was to make the two of them wholeheartedly become Murong Xue's dogs. This would require the help of the Fuxi Qin. Only with the Fuxi Qin's assistance could this unbreakable master-servant relationship be established.
In that way, Xia Feng would be greatly helping Murong Xue.
"But what?" Murong Xue asked Xia Feng, her eyes filled with confusion.
"But I think it's not quite right. They wanted to kill you. If you let them go now, it's inevitable they might resist again and harbor killing intent towards you," Xia Feng said directly.
As soon as Xia Feng finished speaking, Gongyang Jie and Xuanyuan Hao immediately knelt on the ground, shouting in unison, "Never! We will never betray you. We are solely loyal to the little princess."
Fearing that any delay in their words would lead Xia Feng to kill them, they quickly expressed their loyalty. Da Feng Novel Network.
Murong Xue opened her mouth and then quickly closed it. She knew that if Xia Feng were not around in the future, who could guarantee their lifelong loyalty?
However, she couldn't bear to kill these two. After all, they were among the three great powers of the Imperial City.
If she were to exhaust the Imperial City's strength for her own selfish desires, she would be a sinner.
The current state of the Imperial City could not be achieved without the significant contributions of Gongyang Jie and Xuanyuan Hao.
Just as Murong Xue was in a dilemma, Xia Feng spoke, "You don't need to be troubled. Just take them as your servants."
"I'll listen to you," Murong Xue replied with a sweet smile at Xia Feng.
Xia Feng's help touched Murong Xue.
In truth, they had only met today, and for their relationship to reach this point was beyond Murong Xue's expectations.
"We are willing to pledge ourselves to the little princess as master and forever be her loyal servants."
Upon hearing Xia Feng's suggestion, Gongyang Jie and Xuanyuan Hao readily agreed to become Murong Xue's servants.
It was better to live a humble life than to die disgracefully. Being a servant was acceptable; at least they wouldn't perish.
If they had remained stubborn, Xia Feng would have surely killed them.
The two were not fools. Murong Xue was kind-hearted, and even as her servants, their lives wouldn't drastically change from their past.
The only difference was that all their family's power would be transferred to Murong Xue. Henceforth, the Imperial City would truly belong to the Murong family, and they would be subjects, serving in the capacity of servants.
They no longer cared about this status.
After all their struggle and scheming, they had ended up with nothing. It was better to cede power openly and avoid the daily backstabbing and intrigues.
The two instantly had a change of heart and became more open-minded.
"We pay homage to our master."
Gongyang Jie and Xuanyuan Hao exchanged glances and then both knelt on the ground.
"Is this acceptable?" Murong Xue remained still, looking at Xia Feng with a questioning gaze.
Such a formal pledging of allegiance was not permissible.
While others could not force someone to pledge allegiance, Xia Feng could.
Xia Feng then summoned the Fuxi Qin, communicated with it beforehand, and said to Murong Xue, "Clear your mind. I will make them your servants for all lifetimes."
"Okay," Murong Xue, obedient to Xia Feng's words, quickly cleared her mind.
She then looked at Gongyang Jie and Xuanyuan Hao and instructed, "A wisp of your soul will be extracted in a moment. Do not resist."
Gongyang Jie and Xuanyuan Hao did not understand Xia Feng's intentions, but they had already made up their minds and would not refuse, nor could they dare to refuse.
They then dutifully responded, "Yes, we will follow your command."
