Chen Taixing sighed helplessly, but seeing that Chen Yi had already made his decision, he didn't say anything more.
He turned to look at Elder Tong and the others, coldly saying:
"Our Lord Heroic has decided to let you all go for your first offense. Stand up and go back!"
"Thank you, Marquis!"
Elder Tong hesitated, glanced at Chen Yi who remained calm, and immediately led the crowd to kneel down.
The guards from various noble families who had been waiting hurried forward to help their masters up. After bowing to Chen Yi again, they turned to leave.
The onlookers couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed, but when they looked at Chen Yi, no one dared to say anything.
"Lord Heroic is benevolent!"
Someone started cheering, and the people quickly joined in.
Benevolent?
Chen Yi glanced at the few still kneeling outside the door and thought that he never acted benevolently towards his enemies.
So far, only two enemies have escaped with their lives from his hands.
