That night, the entire Yanghua was astounded by the talent displayed by Lin Yuan.
The name Lin Yuan resonated throughout Yanghua, becoming a household name.
The Pei family was equally thrilled.
For Lin Yuan to be able to enter the martial arts academy was a triple blessing for them.
Firstly, Lin Yuan had a profound connection with the Pei family. Entering the academy made it highly likely he would become a great pillar the Pei family could rely on in the future.
Secondly, Lin Yuan's selection into the academy granted the Pei family a tax relief for the year. The conflict with the Hong family had previously caused considerable losses to their granary and herb gardens. Even though they could barely pay the taxes with previous savings, the loss was painful.
Thirdly, the great Buddha sitting on their Pei family's heads was finally leaving.
