Liu Wentao came hurriedly, and left just as hurriedly.
This Vice Hall Master of the Punishment Hall from the Nanxun Sub-Branch left Linhe the day after inquiring about Zhang Yuan.
This matter, like a stone cast into the Celestial Horse River, stirred a ripple but soon subsided, passing silently and unnoticed.
Yue Wuji perhaps worried about Zhang Yuan's feelings, called him over to offer some encouragement.
In fact, Zhang Yuan couldn't quite grasp the higher-ups' thinking; they gave him generous rewards yet sent someone to question him.
This mix of reward and reprimand was utterly baffling.
Although this incident had no substantial impact on Zhang Yuan, he became quietly cautious.
Yet Zhang Yuan showed no trace of oddity, continuing his diligent training as always.
He was even more diligent than before.
Because his dedication to martial training was so intense, even Mother Zhang became worried, fearing he might overstrain his body.
