Long Rui became an orphan overnight.
Gu Lingqiao's father immediately went back on his word and no longer mentioned the child marriage.
The once happy family of three was suddenly reduced to just Long Rui. At the time, Long Rui was only eleven, too young to manage the shop, and his family's business quickly declined.
It wasn't until later that Long Rui discovered that Gu Lingqiao's father took advantage of his youth and used schemes to take over the shop.
With his parents deceased, eleven-year-old Long Rui was in despair and didn't argue with the Gu Family. At that time, he didn't have the strength to reclaim the business, so he chose to leave the north and wandered in the Itinerant World. Later, he met an old man who saw that Long Rui had a remarkable bone structure suited for martial arts, so he took him back and accepted him as his last disciple.
