They didn't expect West River Village to be so shabby. They had thought that this place had been approved by the Emperor and had been specially established by Gu Ying as a Civil and Military Academy. Even if it wasn't a prosperous place, it shouldn't be a shabby small mountain village at the foot of the mountain!
This village didn't even have a proper official road, and they couldn't enter or leave as they pleased even if it rained heavily. Their feet would definitely be covered in mud.
The villagers looked at them as if they were monkeys. Although they did not point at them, it was uncomfortable to look at them.
Many people had already begun to give up. They wondered if such an academy could let them learn well.
