BOOM!
An explosion went off in Xu the Second's mind, as if the words "Dragon Ascension" had just detonated in his skull. He couldn't hear anything else around him.
Dragon Ascension!
That unfilial son of his had actually achieved Dragon Ascension.
He had fathered a son who achieved Dragon Ascension, but that son no longer had anything to do with him.
In an instant, all the color drained from Xu the Second's face.
Xu Yang lifted the red cloth, revealing a paper certificate and a carved wooden Token inside.
"Share in the good fortune, everyone! Thank you for your hard work!"
Xu Qing, acting like a seasoned adult, stepped forward with the copper coins she had prepared in advance and gave some to each member of the procession.
"It was no trouble at all. It is our good fortune to be the ones to deliver this joyous news to Master Xu."
"Congratulations on becoming a Scholar, Master Xu!"
The men spoke festive words as they accepted the money.
