Yu Jiuqing watched them coldly, not saying a word for a long moment. Only when the bowing crowd broke out in a cold sweat did he finally say in an icy voice, "You may rise. My wife and I have only just arrived in Xizhou. It's only natural that you are unaware of some things."
The crowd breathed a collective sigh of relief, hastily offering their thanks before returning to their seats.

'How many men in the world would dare to make such a promise in public? Especially one with his power and influence.'
'After all, once spoken, it gave the world something to hold over him. It would be impossible for him to go back on his word in the future.'
