Chu Lingguang and Hei Hu's hearts grew heavy when they learned that the Governor's Mansion Family had sent their own disciples to South City to participate in the Martial Arts Examination. The Family was doing this just to make it easier for their people to secure the top ranks.

Suddenly, even the exotic delicacies at Master Yan's home lost their appeal.
Guo Wei noticed the change in their mood. To help ease their minds, he took them for a stroll down to the Canal Wharf that afternoon.
Cargo ships docked here every day.
