The martial arts examination grounds were located in a small clearing behind the government office managed by the Fishing Tax Office, fashioned into several acres of flat yellow earth, compacted by military men in half an hour.
Seeing Liang Qu stepping out from under the eaves of the government office building, the bustling crowd spontaneously made way for him, leaving a narrow path open.
A bold villager from Yixing Town asked, "Master Liang, are you also intending to board the Royal Ship?"
"No, I'm just here to have some fun."
Liang Qu rolled up his sleeves, revealing the Bloodstone Armguard on his left arm. Today, he was not dressed in his official uniform but in a black outfit with red patterns made from Dragon Spirit Silk, striding out with an imposing aura.
Even the people from other counties who didn't recognize Liang Qu could tell from his demeanor and appearance that someone important had arrived.
