The coachman was a local, and along the way, Ma Lu and Qiutong listened to him tell quite a few stories related to Hou De.
Hou De was one of the earliest Talisman Master Schools to be established, and it had a brief period of glory in its early days, producing many famous Talisman Masters at the time.
However, later there was a warlord causing trouble locally, and this warlord greatly admired Yan Puchuan. He personally approached Yan Puchuan and the school's faculty three times, asking them to serve him and even promising to appoint Yan Puchuan as the prime minister once the country was established.
Although Yan Puchuan had explicitly rejected him, somehow the matter reached the ears of the president and those cabinet members. Once the warlord was defeated, Hou De quickly began its decline.
