Smoking damages the lungs.
He's a dead man, so I'm not afraid anymore, but Lin Zhongyuan is still young, and we can't afford to hurt his body.
"Whoosh~whoosh whoosh whoosh!" Master Cui exhaled a breath of ghostly energy, which enveloped the smoke and sent it far away.
With the villagers' enthusiastic promotion, it didn't take long for the whole village to know that Lin Zhongyuan had passed the imperial examination and become a scholar. Although they didn't know his exact ranking, it didn't affect everyone's unanimous praise for Lin Zhongyuan.
