the continent! I will return to serve you both well!” With three respectful kowtows, he stood up, leaving without turning back. His parents watched, leaning on each other, as their son’s figure grew distant. ##At the City Gates Arriving at the gates, Chen Wenzhong found that everyone else was already there. He noticed Chen Yan’s face was bruised and sporting two black eyes. “Ow, ow, it hurts! Brother Zhong, you finally made it,” Chen Yan greeted awkwardly. Chen Wenzhong pointed to Chen Yan’s face in confusion. "Oh, this? Nothing much. My father suddenly wanted to spar in the middle of the night, and I ended up like this.
