Ren Zhongqing introduced himself as Zhang San, and everyone knew it was just a temporary alias, so He Kao let him be.
Zhang San had a happy childhood; his father was the head of a major company in the local town, managing the business very well and taking great care of the family.
His father had practiced techniques in the past but unfortunately was unable to reach entry-level, which was a lifelong regret for him. Thus, he placed all his hopes in Zhang San. When Zhang San was fourteen, his father arranged through connections for him to be introduced and become an apprentice under a master.
Zhang San was diligent and often praised by his master, and his father felt deeply gratified... However, this harmony was soon shattered by unforeseen events.
His father had a partner named Li Si, who was also a sorcerer, focusing solely on cultivation and leaving the business operations to Zhang San's father.
