Shi Yan returned home.
The once Traveling Merchant was beaming with joy, his return laden with rewards.
Not only did he take back a bundle of gifts Wang Chen had purchased to present to the residents of Little Stone Village, but he also carried with him a promise from Shao Hongcheng, the master of Hongyi Martial Hall.
Starting next year, Little Stone Village would be able to send three youths annually to Hongyi Martial Hall to study martial arts.
The promise was valid for ten years.
Meaning, Hongyi Martial Hall would cultivate thirty martial artists for Little Stone Village free of charge!
This was a recompense for Little Stone Village's contribution of sending Wang Chen to the Martial Hall.
Two days later, Hongyi Martial Hall closed its doors to the public for one day.
In the practice arena, all members of the Martial Hall, including over a hundred disciples, gathered on the practice field.
