Chapter 575
Old Zhou was the kind of person who seemed full of stories at first glance.
And as it turned out, he really was a man with stories.
If his stories were expanded and told in detail, they would probably be very interesting and absolutely fascinating.
He studied Thousand Skills but ended up becoming a Tomb Raider, took on the role of Tomb Raider Captain, and even made a considerable fortune in that era. Moreover, he retired with his earnings intact, which was no easy feat.
"Old Zhou, why didn’t you go with your master at that time?" Yang Fan asked.
Old Zhou said, "That was requested by another group of people. Adding one more person meant dividing the money further, and they needed my master, not an apprentice like me who hadn’t yet graduated. Naturally, I was dismissed."
"My master had collaborated with others before, and when they learned about me, they mostly chose to reject as well. Only that time, my master’s luck was really bad. Just as they went down, they were all caught in a sweep. That group had been marked for a long time. In fact, that was their net-closing operation, and sadly my master was just an addition."
Yang Fan: ...
What a vivid metaphor.
Suddenly, Old Zhou began counting on his fingers and said, "Thinking about the time, my master should be getting out soon. As his half-disciple, I’ll have to pick him up when the time comes. He looked like a little old man in his forties back then; now, he must definitely be a true elder."
Yang Fan asked curiously, "Old Zhou, how old were you when you were learning the craft?"
