Chapter 170: Double Standards Scenario

"Are you really an examination candidate?"

Behind the young man on a fine horse, a large man with a stubble beard wearing a straw hat and ragged clothes was chattering endlessly. With him were two dogs, one black and one white, both with soft and glossy fur. This peculiar party, upon reaching the gates of the Anqing Mansion City, immediately caught the attention of the guard soldiers.

"Halt, what's your business?"

The junior guard blocked Feng Qing'an, though his suspicious gaze fell mostly on the talkative man from northern Jiangyang. As a fellow martial artist himself, he could sense there was something unusual about this unkempt man.

"I'm a Child Student rushing to the Imperial examination. This is my travel pass, and this man, who I just met, has been bothering me constantly. He bizarrely wants to compare martial arts skills with me. I suspect he has some sort of mental affliction. I request you stop him and do a thorough investigation."
