Wanyan Youshu gave a bitter smile, then decisively and gallantly knelt on one knee, raising the warbow in his hands high to present it to Shu Feng.
This was the process by which Wanyan Youshu's clan pledged their loyalty to a master. Once the pledge was made, Wanyan Youshu would follow his master for life, never to betray him.

One of the conditions for a warrior of Wanyan Youshu's clan to acknowledge a master was to defeat them in a direct confrontation.
