Also, which one is the brains, Esquilax or Yu?
Er... I think I should mention at this point that I did vote for the insane six pugilists vs Youxia City option due to personal butthurt and a last-minute flop. But thanks anyways!
Hrmph. I'm reasonably persuaded by the A case, and Yu is indeed critical to our fortunes (even if the one time he explicitly helped us he cocked it up), I'm just worried because A option explicitly states subdue, and that we are not in a condition for a duel. Yunzi will think it highly weird that we are asking her to subdue Changfeng instead of doing it ourselves, if she even feels it is necessary to stop her anyway.
When Yu isn't boozing it up, he's invaluable. As for Yunzi, she won't think it's weird on account of uh, you know, "I just lost my fucking eye. What the fuck are you doing standing there? Help me put this crazy bitch down, I can't do it myself."
Also, we haven't had a chance to really talk with Changfeng, so she doesn't really see us as friends or at least 'reasonable people' in the way Yu and Yunzi see us. If we resort to force now she will escape, and then after that she will think of us the same as the BDS and the rest of her enemies, especially given her black and white personality. Yu will resent us for this, but more importantly, it will cut us off from a valuable human connection that may yield further benefits down the line (although I find it rather disappointing that Changfeng had so little to say about the Ashani affair).
Hey, that's cool, we don't need to be friends right away. What we need is to calm down and think of how to work together. Really, we should put things in perspective - the very fact that Jing and Chanfeng are having a conversation at this point instead of her attacking us is pretty remarkable in and of itself. I highly doubt that Yu will resent us; he didn't want her to go in the first place because he knew it would be certain death. Yeah, he may not appreciate that we got Yunzi to rough up Chanfeng, but he was pleading for her to stay anyways.
He had a pleading look on his face because he knows that any excursion that she takes to Youxia City is one that she won't be coming back from. Now, she might escape, she might not, but we're not doing this for Chanfeng, we're doing it for Yu. I am willing to take this risk because we stand a much better chance of surviving if we all calm down and start working together. We know that Yu is going to chase after Chanfeng regardless of what we say because he's a fool in love - and we need him to help us outsmart the likes of Gao Ying now that we're being pursued.
I'm not advocating doing anything crazy, the way I see it. Chanfeng is in terrible condition from her imprisonment, while Yunzi is at 100% and already spoiling for a fight with Chanfeng anyways. Xiaoqi is a bit more unpredictable, but even she seems unwilling to abandon Yunzi and join up with Chanfeng again.
