Hearing Li Yan's ridicule, the scholars were all infuriated.
They were used to banding together and criticizing others who dared not retort, but now, unexpectedly, someone from the pugilistic world dared to disrespect them.
To the commoners, they were untouchable.
Officials, who valued their reputation in the scholarly circles, were also reluctant to offend.
But encountering someone like Li Yan was simply bad luck; he didn't treat the scholars with any respect.
At this moment, however, Grandmaster Song remained calm, turned his head to glance at them, suppressed everyone's rage, and then calmly said, "We have reasons to be angry. Tell us, what do you want to know?"
This old man, able to become the grandmaster, was naturally no ordinary person.
Dealing with County Magistrate Wu could involve complicated entanglements, but arguing with a martial artist like Li Yan would only bring disgrace upon himself.
