"Child, is Qi'er still alive?" The woman visibly trembled, tears welled up in her already sunken eyes with a hint of guilt, "Not long after Qi'er was born, he lost his father. As his mother, I was imprisoned from a young age and couldn't care for him. When he was little, he was bullied by the Wu Family people... sigh... I once heard from a kind servant that my poor son couldn't get enough to eat as a child, that he could only pick at the leftovers and waste discarded by the servants. I also heard that he was never allowed to cultivate martial arts and that the first sword he used was picked up from a long-dead martial cultivator in the wild graveyard of the back mountain..."
As the woman spoke, her face was already covered in tears.
Su Chen felt uneasy in his heart.
Wu Qi, Wu Qi, perhaps the word 'abandonment' holds much deeper meaning here?
