To see a sallow-faced youth sitting cross legged and frowning in the middle of the hallway was something that would draw attention around that place. Everyone walking by was looking at him a little surprised. The card masters and card artisans who would show up there all had a lot of power and therefore high social standing, and so in that kind of atmosphere to see some guy so bold to sit there as Chen Mu was would naturally draw some strange looks.
Chen Mu didn't pay any attention to such looks. Before, when he was treated as a beggar allowed into Eastern Wei Academy, he'd gotten naturally accustomed to it. And he didn't have time just then to pay attention to those peoples' looks, concentrating as he was on what that insight which had moved him so much just then.
