章 48: Why not...?

Ma Rong and Wen Cheng switched their attention to the purple-robed man.

"What solutions do you have, City Lord Fu?" Ma Rong asked.

"I wouldn't mind listening to a suggestion from City Lord Fu." Wen Cheng spoke as well.

The man in the purple robe was the city lord of the Scarlet City. His name was Fu Wen, and along with his wife Mo An, was in charge of the Scarlet City.

"Here is my suggestion. Since both of you want this disciple so much, why don't you both accept him as your disciple? This way you can both teach him, and he can be part of both of your sects." he said to the two sect leaders.

""Hmm…" 

Both the sect leaders fell into deep contemplation. Ma Rong looked at Wen Cheng and asked, "Tell me the truth. Why do you really want him?" she asked.
