Outsiders were not very clear, but Meng Jingyuan and Luo Xia had heard of it since childhood. Whenever Meng Laoyezi spoke of the past, it involved his master and senior brother. They had heard more from their parents, and they knew that Meng Laoyezi’s senior brother was named Qi Mengzhou. During the turmoil, Meng Laoyezi and the members of his sect got separated from his senior brother. Only Meng Laoyezi was fortunate enough to be rescued and returned, recognized as an adopted son. His adoptive parents had no children, and he was originally an orphan, so he changed his name to inherit the Meng family’s legacy. Meng Laoyezi established a friendship with Xiao Yinyue after arriving in the capital and learning that Xiao Yinyue came from a province where he asked about things there, leading to the discovery that Xiao Yinyue actually knew his senior brother. However, at that time, Xiao Yinyue confirmed Qi Mengzhou’s death with people from his hometown after failing to contact him multiple times. Although Qi Shejiang shared the surname Qi, he had learned his trade overseas and his father’s family background had long been publicized by the media, so Meng Jingyuan had never doubted any relation to that legendary master who was said to have passed away young. “Jiexi, could it be that you’re a disciple of my Qi master?!
After Meng Laoyezi’s questioning, Meng Jingyuan saw Qi Shejiang’s equally excited reaction, feeling very moved. “Doesn’t your Huayi master have a Western name and surname, and no generational title?”
Qi Shejiang was famously known for his Haiqing leg; he had entered the music association but was rejected by some people in the crosstalk community precisely because he had no master to carry on his mantle. But now, how did a Qi master suddenly appear?
Luo Xia was also in shock, “What on earth is going on? Jiexi really knows Grandfather Meng? What’s your relationship with Qi master? My grandfather clearly said that Qi master regretted not passing down his skills.”
