Bowing one’s head in submission is quite a disgraceful act for any individual.

Zhang Quan’s identity is extraordinary; with her leading the way, the promise is fulfilled.

Seeing this, others might think if even she kneels, what else is there to say?

Furthermore, there’s Mingyue Taoist, Gu Renzheng, Lei Zhenming, Lingxiao Sword Elder, and a host of Jianghu elders, all bowing simultaneously.

At that moment, everyone present felt that bowing wasn’t disgraceful at all.

Instead, there was an inexplicable feeling of honor.

See... how about the Yu Kun Palace Master? Lingxiao Sword Elder, with such a big reputation, and the prestige of Master Ming Yue?

Aren’t they the same, bowing before Young Master Su?

Furthermore... if even they are willing to bow, why wouldn’t I be?

But Young Master Su looks rather troubled at this moment.

Helping up one person after another.

Saying repeatedly that it was just a jest before.

As if underestimating us!

Just like the Yu Kun Palace Master said, words spoken and children born can’t be taken back!

Seeing Young Master Su troubled, the vociferation became even louder.

For a moment, the deck was crowded, except for the few monks from Jingang Temple and the people behind Su Mo, along with Shi Shengtian.

Everyone else was kneeling on the ground.

Su Mo explained repeatedly, appearing increasingly in a bind.

Wei Ziyi couldn’t help but smirk.

Speaking telepathically to Yang Xiaoyun:

"Your old demon knows how to play the game of appearances more and more.

"Clearly overjoyed inside, yet pretending to be embarrassed.

"In doing so, they are bound to feel grateful and take this matter even more seriously."

Yang Xiaoyun smiled slightly and replied telepathically:

"Jianghu wagers, life and death, it’s all just a promise in the end.

"Really think everyone is willing to risk their life for a promise—that’s naive.

"Even if a promise is worth its weight in gold, can it grow on hubby’s body?

"At worst, I could walk away and never see Su Mo for the rest of my life.

"Even if life and death are yours, your orders can’t reach me, what can you do?

"Now hubby is binding everyone together for his use, temporarily at least.

"At least, in this moment, he can use them..."

"That’s why I say, your Old Su Devil is getting more formidable.

"Such means of manipulating hearts, where did he learn it?"

Wei Ziyi clicked his tongue in wonder. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Yang Xiaoyun, however, looked at Zhang Quan.

Not to mention others, at least Zhang Quan seems sincere.

She, as the Yu Kun Palace Master, must have her own considerations.

And at this moment, Su Mo couldn’t persuade them, ultimately could only cup his fists:

"Lords, please listen to me!

"The previous wager was indeed words spoken out of anger by me.

"I intended to drop it, yet since everyone insists, I’ll boldly accept it for now."

"That’s the way."

"From now on, we follow Young Master Su’s leadership."

"So, do we all join the Nanhai Alliance?"

"Join, of course, surely Young Master Su won’t mistreat you?"

Soon, the crowd was excited and buzzing.

At this moment, Zhang Quan glanced at Shi Shengtian:

"What are you waiting for?"

"Absurd."

Shi Shengtian was furious: "Do I still need to kneel?"

"Didn’t you refrain from making a move in the wager?"

Zhang Quan questioned.

"...I."

Shi Shengtian wanted to say it doesn’t count.

However, with everyone watching him, claiming it doesn’t count couldn’t be convincing.

Zhang Quan pressed aggressively.

Cold sweat was about to drip from his forehead.

What should I do now?

I came out for the Martial God Key with goodwill.

Hoping Su Mo, a newfound Jianghu participant with quite a reputation, wouldn’t meet his demise due to the Martial God Key in Nanhai.

Who would have thought, one wrong move, and I’d end up embroiled?

As his gaze swept around, it fell upon Shi Cheng standing at the back of the crowd.

Eventually, his eyes rolled as he laughed heartily:

"You old hag, what do you understand!

"What kind of relationship do I have with Young Master Su?"

"What relationship?"

Zhang Quan was stunned, as were the others who looked over, wondering if there really was some hidden link between Young Master Su and the Nanhai Martial Elder?

Su Mo also intended to help Shi Shengtian out.

After all, he personally invited Shi Shengtian here today.

There was no reason to use this to pressure him.

Then hearing his words, he grew curious about what this old man might say.

Then Shi Shengtian waved:

"Brat, come here!"

It’s said a father knows his son best.

Seeing Shi Shengtian’s action, Shi Cheng already understood what sly plan his father had.

Immediately, he turned to bolt without a thought.

Suddenly, a shadow flashed, and a hand reached out.

Shi Cheng hurried to resist, but alas, his martial arts were all taught by his father.

Shi Shengtian knew him better than he did himself.

How could he resist?

He was grabbed by the shoulder and brought before Su Mo with a shake.

Shi Shengtian glanced at Zhang Quan and said to Shi Cheng:

"Kneel and call him uncle!"

"I..."

Shi Cheng’s eyes widened.

Wishing to die rather than surrender!

Yet Shi Shengtian fiercely glared back, speaking telepathically:

"Today, you either recognize an uncle or we both recognize a master, your choice."

Shi Cheng instantly broke into tears, thinking the disaster his dad caused, what does it have to do with me!
