Rise from a Low-class Family to Martial Artist-Chapter 280 - 83: Glory of the Low-class Family, Renowned Across Jiangnan
Huo Shu’s face was pale: "Senior Brother Li, Lin Chen only left his name on Martial Arts Mountain, but his realm is still not as good as yours."
"The agreement between your Huo Family and my Li Family was to help me become the exemplary student of Jiangnan Dao martial arts, and now that you have failed, the marriage agreement between our families cannot stand."
Li Zhe’s face held a wicked charm, coldly looking at Huo Shu: "The Huo Family has lost its value to the Li Family. If you wish to maintain this engagement, show me what you’re capable of."
Whoosh!
Li Zhe appeared at Huo Shu’s side, his hand grabbed her collar without hesitation and tore it off.
Feeling the coldness in front of her chest, Huo Shu hurriedly reached to cover herself.
"If you dare to resist, then get lost!"
Hearing Li Zhe’s threatening words, Huo Shu’s pretty face changed, carrying a hint of desolation, and after two breaths, her trembling hands dropped.
She knew her grandfather well; if the Li Family didn’t want her and ruined her grandfather’s plans, her life wouldn’t be easy.
In her grandfather’s eyes, only her brother Huo Tong was the future of the Huo Family.
"Can... can we go inside?"
Huo Shu pleaded with a trace of humility in her voice, yet Li Zhe directly covered her with his hand: "Isn’t it better out here in the courtyard?"
...
(Everyone paid for this, can’t skimp, these three thousand words will not be written)

Just as the announcement from the Military Affairs Hall spread throughout Jiangnan Dao, the next two-hour period, an announcement from the Jiangnan Xingdao Prefecture was once again distributed to each prefecture and county government office in Jiangnan Dao.
[Jiangnan Travel Order]
[Main Send:
Prefecture Government Offices, County Government Offices, Town Halls]
[Subject: Recognizing the achievements of Lin Chen, who left his name on Martial Arts Mountain in Jiangnan Dao]
[This is Lin Chen from Linhu Village, Kaohe Town, Poyang County, Raozhou Prefecture, Jiangnan Dao, aged sixteen, who left his name on Martial Arts Mountain in the year 299 of the Liang Calendar...]
[...]
[...]
[Uplifting the prestige of Jiangnan’s martial artists, enhancing the voice of Jiangnan’s martial path, truly a rare prodigy not seen in a hundred years, setting a banner and an example for thousands of martial artists in Jiangnan Dao.]
[Instructing Raozhou Prefecture to engrave this achievement on the "Martial Refinement Stele," proclaim it to the world]
The contents of the two official documents were almost identical.
But to receive simultaneous announcements in one day from both the Military Affairs Hall and the Xingdao Prefecture, in all of Jiangnan Dao, such treatment was previously reserved only for the top five in the martial arts examinations.
Even those who didn’t understand the difficulty of leaving a name on Martial Arts Mountain could guess from these two official documents that Lin Chen must have achieved extraordinary feats.
"Village Chief, what is Martial Arts Mountain?"
"Why do you care, you coward, is this something we can know?"
Zhao Canghe, seeing the villagers’ curious eyes, angrily slapped down: "Go, clean the ancestral hall. As soon as Lin Chen returns, we must hold a ceremony to honor our ancestors."
Zhao Canghe was very excited, two official documents, and from both the Military Affairs Hall and the Jiangnan Xingdao Prefecture. Even when Scholar Jiang passed his examination, he didn’t receive such honor. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
It seems there’s also going to be a monument; although he didn’t understand what the Martial Refinement Stele was, it surely must be a good thing.
He must strive to have this stele erected in Linhu Village.
With a stone stele, who would dare to bully Linhu Village in the future?
"I reckon the bigwigs from the county will soon be coming to our village. Everyone keep up your appearances, I’m heading to the Lin Family."
Where to erect the stone stele, the one who has the most say is naturally Lin Chen, but he knew Lin Chen; Lin Chen wouldn’t care about such matters, so he had to talk with Mrs. Lin.
With the stone stele, she wouldn’t need to chat with the village women under the big camphor tree anymore. Standing next to the stele engraved with her son’s glorious achievements, wouldn’t that be more respectable?
Who wouldn’t offer a few words of praise upon seeing it, and wouldn’t that naturally lead to conversations?
...
...
Next door at the Special Training Ground!
"What the hell!"
"Chen Ping, you’re too much!"
"Min Huanbo, you’re inhumane!"
Zhang Jiang and others, upon seeing the announcement from the Military Affairs Hall, were shocked and suddenly burst out cursing.
