Chapter 83
“Unrelated persons, clear the way! Unrelated persons, clear the way!”
On Xuanwu Street in Wudu, the Blood Asura Battalion members cleared the entire street. Merchants had to pack up, and commoners weren’t allowed to gather and watch the commotion.
Today was the day of the Wu Kingdom’s imperial examination.
In a side courtyard of the Xu family estate, a sixteen-year-old young man, now fully grown, slowly opened his eyes as he lay on the bed.
The young man was tall for his age, standing around 1.72 meters, but he was also quite stout, weighing approximately 160 pounds.
He got out of bed and changed into a Confucian-style blue robe. Walking out of his room, he fetched some water, wet a towel to wash his face, and used fine salt to brush his teeth before rinsing his mouth.
There were no maids in the young man’s courtyard—his mother forbade it. Not that he needed them.
He glanced at the timepiece in the courtyard. It was almost time. After tidying his robe, he left the courtyard and headed to his mother’s side residence.
“Mother,” the young man greeted, bowing respectfully.
