Do they... need to kneel?
Indeed, some of them knelt down.
But there were also those who forcibly straightened their backs, not wanting to diminish the reputation of the Xizhou Jianghu.
This left Su Mo, who had just arrived, somewhat bewildered.
It was customary for brothers from Nanhai to kneel.
But why on earth would these Xizhou martial artists kneel?
He gently shook his head:
"All of you, stand up. There's no need for such formality."
With these words, those present finally breathed a sigh of relief and stood up from the ground.
Shui Wuchang and others came forward to pay respects.
Su Mo lightly waved his hand, signaling them to wait.
Then he looked at the crowd present, and the old man's words surfaced in his mind.
Even without the old man's words, Su Mo had intended to consolidate the people's hearts.
But now, with these words, Su Mo found himself hesitating.
Instinctively, he didn't want to follow Dongmen Yong's suggestion.
