Facing the entreaties of the crowd, Su Yang remained unusually calm. He leisurely sipped his tea, as if he hadn't heard their pleas for mercy at all.
Without a word from Su Yang, these people didn't dare to rise, only able to kneel on the ground, trembling as they waited.
After a long while, Su Yang had drunk three cups of tea before finally setting down the teacup and said softly, "Do you truly understand your wrongdoing?"
The crowd nodded their heads in unison; at this point, what else could they dare to say?
"Good, I can give you a chance!" Su Yang nodded, "I can spare you and even forgo punishing you. However, you need to do something for me!"
The crowd was overjoyed, their spirits lifting, as the man leading them hurriedly said, "Master Su, whatever it is, just command us. Even if we must scale a mountain of swords or plunge into a sea of flames, we will accomplish it!"
"Indeed, we will accomplish it!"
