"Hm? What's going on?" Seeing he wasn't joking, Song Changsheng immediately grew serious.
Zhu Yiqun's face scrunched up, and he sighed. "Sigh, it's all because of my old man. He was incredibly wild in his youth and offended far too many people. A few days ago, one of his old enemies came looking for him, and they had a go at it.
Although the old man was more skilled and managed to drive the guy off, word got out. Now, there's an endless stream of enemies coming for revenge. I've basically been running for my life this whole time.
A few days ago, the old man couldn't handle it anymore and said he was going to lay low for a while. That heartless bastard left me all by myself! I hid for a few days, and only when I saw no one was coming after me did I dare come to the Marketplace to meet you."
Zhu Yiqun practically gritted out that last part, clearly furious.
"Your 'old man' is...?"
"Oh, I forgot to tell you. The old man is my master. I grew up with him."
