"A-Are you going to kill them?" Sect Master Xiahou asked him in a nervous voice.
"Do you want me to kill them?" Yuan responded with a question.
"Of course not. However, I doubt you even care. After all, they are after your life."
Yuan smiled and said, "Then how about this? I will give you the chance to talk them out of killing me. If you can do that, I won't have to kill them."
"Are you serious?" Sect Master Xiahou looked at him with wide eyes.
"Of course. I am not a bloodthirsty maniac who enjoys killing, even though you probably see me as one. I only shed blood when I have no other choices."
"Very well. I will do my best to convince them to stand down." Sect Master Xiahou nodded with a serious expression.
After returning to her room, Sect Master Xiahou contacted the other Sect Masters regarding the matter.
