He could only bitterly resent why heaven played such tricks on their brotherhood, keeping them from meeting while alive, separated by oceans. By the time they found out, they were already worlds apart. This cry from Old Master Meng made everyone present feel an overwhelming sense of sorrow, nearly bringing them to tears. Meng Jingyuan wiped his eyes and held onto Old Master Meng’s shoulder. Luo Xia also held the old man’s hand and said, “So, you really are Master Qi’s successor? He was just hiding his name overseas? No wonder I heard when I was young that Master Qi’s real name seemed to be Shejiang, so he must have taken you in?”
Who knows how many pairs of eyes were looking at Qi Shejiang, the cameras that had been focused on Old Master Meng now aimed at him. Under such scrutiny, Qi Shejiang was momentarily at a loss and could only say with difficulty, “Yes, he… passed on his skills to me…”
No one would have expected he was Qi Mengzhou himself. Even if he acted a bit strangely, everyone would just think it was the excitement of recognizing the person his master cared about most before passing away. Thinking this way made others feel even more emotional. Old Master Meng wiped his face streaked with tears but spoke with some pride, “Yes, this must be something my senior brother taught me; there’s no mistake about it, no one else could sing with such flavor.”
Who would have thought that Old Master Meng, having taken a long break, would come to a set and evoke such a moving old story. Tang Shuangqin took the initiative to say, “Old Master, let’s go to the side room and sit down to reminisce properly.”
Old Master Meng nodded, and each of the doctor and Qi Shejiang supported him as they walked away. Halfway through, Qi Shejiang looked back. Zhang Yue felt a stir in his heart, surprised and confused; seeing Qi Shejiang in tears made him feel heartache, but he dared not reach out to him. At that moment, Qi Shejiang seemed like someone who would be in immense pain if anyone dared to touch him. But now as Qi Shejiang glanced back, it seemed he was searching for something, wearing a look of bewilderment and helplessness that prompted him to hastily follow.
