Submission; Interlude (1)

Seeing that the two leaders had submitted and were begging for mercy, the remaining bandits around them also threw away their weapons and knelt down. They quickly raised their hands in surrender.

Only then did Zhou Jing put away his iron spear and retract his murderous aura. He nodded and said, "In that case, we're friends and not enemies. The two of you can get up."

Seeing that their lives were saved, Peng Jin and Li Pei finally heaved a sigh of relief. They hurriedly got up and stood awkwardly.

Zhou Jing looked around at the terrified bandits and shouted, "Don't kneel anymore. Get up."

"Th-Thank you, hero…"

The bandits stood up hesitantly.

Zhou Jing retracted his gaze and looked at Li Pei again.

Li Pei jolted and cupped his hands to curry favor, "Brother is so brave, like a heavenly general. I admire you so much. If Brother doesn't abandon me, I'm willing to follow you!"
