When Shi Yu heard a sound, he stopped. Still wearing his glasses, he stood at the door and turned to look at the butler, not remembering him: “You are…?” The butler had graying hair and wrinkled skin, with cloudy, unfocused eyes that showed little spirit. “Our young master was once your student,” the butler said…

Xu Wenyao’s finger hovered over the “enter” key. Hearing Bai Lian’s words, he thought for a moment before moving the cursor to type “Bai Lian” below Chen Hong’s name.
