Yang Fu feigned a frown, his fingers formed a gesture as if he were contemplating something.
After a long while, he let out a deep sigh.
"You are right..."
The two men were overjoyed!
"I knew it!"
"Please let us go; we'll fight again next year! By that time... we'll also spare your life, as per a gentleman's agreement!"
"Exactly, we swear by the Reverse Flow Sect! Should you fall into our hands in the future, we will spare you just as you spared us today."
Yang Fu didn't quite understand the mystic mumbo-jumbo of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect.
All that talk of 'Heavenly Mechanism not to be divulged,' 'the chosen one of destiny,' 'the injustices of the heavens'... but he could tell they truly believed in it!
That was good enough for him!
He had been raised from childhood with the teachings of his ancestors; he had read the books they provided, and he believed even more firmly in the notion that human will can triumph over the heavens.
