"Yes!"
After respectfully bowing, the four young boys and girls departed, leaving Tiger alone, standing in his spot.
Seeing that Tiger hadn't moved, Lin Xingli questioned the frail boy:
"Why have you not set off yet?"
"To answer the senior, I have no more ties, and with the village being a hundred miles from Qingfeng Town, there isn't enough time to make the round trip in five days, so I do not plan to return!"
Hearing Tiger's explanation, Lin Xingli did not press further.
"Come with me then. Rest here for a few days, and we will set off after five days!"
"Yes!"
With respectful compliance, Tiger ceased to speak any further.
The commands of Lin Xingli led most who had failed the test to accept reality; they orderly left the square.
Still, there were many young boys and girls who had already been tested; they seemed not to have accepted the failure of their tests and were gathered in a corner of the square, reluctant to leave.
