Although they had already speculated that Old Mr. Zhong might have some connections with Madam Yan, no one expected that there would be such a tumultuous past in between. Hearing Madam Yan's words, both Huo Sining and Zhou Shitao were secretly shocked and deeply moved by Old Mr. Zhong's experiences.
The master and apprentice said nothing, quietly waiting for Madam Yan to continue.
"As for why I'm so sure that the Old Mr. Zhong you're looking for isn't my brother, there are several reasons. One is what I just mentioned: the school my brother was apprenticed to has strict rules. If he dared to violate them, his fate would be having his tendons severed, becoming utterly crippled."
