When he returned to the center stage, the people who were once cold towards Lu Yuan suddenly became enthusiastic.
Their enthusiasm was even more evident than when they were dealing with Sun Siwen.
It made sense.
Sun Siwen was indeed a good educator. Having such a teacher was certainly helpful for their local gentry in terms of culture and education.
But what was the current situation?
Da Yue's imperial court seemed to be in disarray, and the world was gradually falling into chaos.
In such turbulent times, the words of scholars did not carry as much weight as those of martial artists.
Making friends with a powerful martial artist in the chaotic world could be a significant factor in the rise and fall of many people's families.
Lu Yuan did not resist this idea either.
Getting along with these local tycoons would make things easier for him when he wanted to accomplish anything in Changning in the future.
