What happened that afternoon was something that all the scholars and privileged spectators remembered for as long as they lived.
Mei Deng and his classmates singlehandedly handled the road block that most people had written off as unfixable. They worked all through the afternoon with no rest, conducting the flow of people and their commodities.
The scholars were left beyond impressed, never had anyone before Yu Xiaoguang thought to use words and symbols to control the road.
"This kid is something else, how come it's only now that we're seeing all of his talent?" One of the scholars asked, the others nodded in agreement.
"It is almost as though this is someone else entirely!"
The scholars exchanged all knowing looks with one another.
"Well, that just means it goes to show that we're the best. To be able to shape up such a delinquent." The scholar for arithmetic announced, earning mischievous grins from his cohorts.
