Arriving at Qian Lu Town, Di Tou wanted to skip through it and simply continue rushing forward to the Academy, but unfortunately wasn't able to do so. Recently, maybe ten or fifteen years ago, the Academy had more officially taken in the Satellite towns as forward outposts of the Academy, as opposed to their former status which was somewhat awkward like the town at the foot of the mountain being in between part of the Academy and on the fringes of it.
What this really meant for normal people was that most of the trading transactions for merchants could fully take place in these Satellite towns as long as they were planned ahead of time, saving some time and traffic, and also for ordinary folks, although it was still fairly easy to get to the Academy, there was a brief screening period in the Satellite towns first.
