After chatting for a while, Old Ma and Elder Dong left first due to work, and soon the three senior brothers also left because they had urgent matters in the afternoon.
Before leaving, Master Zhu Ling from the Military General Hospital carefully took down the portrait of the founding master and ceremonial items like the incense burner, and carefully packed them into two boxes.
After tidying up, he awkwardly saluted Zhou Xiaozheng in silence. It was only after Zhou Xiaozheng returned the salute that he relaxed a bit and bid everyone farewell.
Old Hu, who was watching from the side, just shook his head. Both of them were old men of similar age, yet this silly boy didn't have any discernment, as if he had lived his life in vain.
Zhou Xiaozheng explained knowingly, "It's not his fault, it's the way things are."
"When my senior brother adopted him, the child was already ten, his personality was set. Apart from being timid, he's still considered honest."
