Prefect Xu announced that the ceremony was over. Servants then carried out trays piled with silver and set them in front of the Martial Scholars.
But what they placed before Lu Feng wasn't silver. It was one gold ingot after another, each about the size of a baby's fist.
Seeing this, Lu Feng smiled and accepted Prefect Xu's reward.
