Although the contest between Ren Baqian and Tu Hong was finally over, some people were happy with the result and others weren't.
Every student from the Black Bamboo Academy looked gloomy. It was as if they had lost everything. All of them were gnashing their teeth and couldn't wait to fight it out with Ren Baqian.
Those who were happy included Hong Xian and a few buddies as well as the people of the Protectorate of the North and Protectorate of the South who were working in Lan City.
They had made a small fortune from this occasion. Although this amount wasn't considered a lot by these two protectorates, it could still be put to many uses.
In any case, these few contests had let many of them see the usefulness of these exotic products and made them realize that these things weren't as undesirable as they thought.
