Wine Sword Immortal pleaded, "Senior, could you not drive us away?"
Face? At his age, he was long past the days of youthful recklessness and hot-blooded fervor. What was face worth? How much could it sell for? Right now, nothing mattered more than staying alive.
Faced with Wine Sword Immortal's plea, Hun Xiu did not answer immediately. After several seconds of silence, he slowly said, "Very well."
"I gave Baiyue a chance, yet he failed to seize it and kill you. Giving him another chance would make no sense."
Hun Xiu turned to Zhao Ling'er. "Ling'er, go out and send Baiyue away."
"Alright."
