"Wake up," the man said with an annoyed voice. "It's time for our deal."
Shang slowly opened his eyes with annoyance.
The two of them had argued for way too long.
In the end, they had come to a deal.
Shang could sit on the ground for the night, but when people would begin to show up, he would sit on the chair.
Shang stood up, pulled the chair over, and sat down.
"Was that so hard?" the man asked.
"I can also just sit on the ground again," Shang answered with an even voice.
"Hmph," the man only snorted.
In the next couple of minutes, Shang saw the sky slowly light up.
The braziers had been put out a couple of minutes ago, and Shang heard the first faint noises of movement from the surrounding houses.
It seemed like the 500 or so people directly living in the city had their houses adjacent to the academy.
A couple minutes later, Shang saw the first people exit their houses. They walked with practiced ease to their destinations.
