They had only ever known Senior Brother Yang Jing to be a diligent martial artist who had placed fourth in the Hall's trials. They were unaware of his incredible feat from the day before, so they were all stunned by the news.
"The County Magistrate is holding a banquet? To celebrate Senior Brother Yang's achievement?" A young disciple, who had joined the Hall less than two months ago, scratched his head in utter confusion. "Is Senior Brother Yang that amazing? Worthy of the Lord County Magistrate holding a special banquet for him?"
A slightly older disciple beside him was just as baffled. "Senior Brother Lin Yue used to be the most outstanding disciple in our Martial Arts Hall, and he even has superior aptitude, but he never received this kind of treatment, did he?"
The crowd began to murmur, all feeling that something about the situation was odd.
