Jiang Yi whispered, "In fact, Yan Changqing started his cultivation quite late. He didn’t begin the path of cultivation until he was twenty, which is considered very late, yet he still reached the peak of cultivation, which can truly be called a miracle. And the reason he chose to cultivate was to find his own daughter."
"I’ve heard him mention this," Jiang Shouzhong nodded.
He remembered when he first met Yan Changqing, the latter had said that he wandered the Jianghu in order to find his daughter.
At that time, he had even offered words of consolation.
Jiang Yi continued, "At first, he was very resistant to practicing martial arts, preferring to immerse himself in scholarly pursuits. However, one time his family suffered a calamity, and his daughter, not yet two years old, was taken by horse bandits. Yan Changqing fought desperately to save her, but he still failed to rescue her."
That was probably the only time in Yan Changqing’s life that he had fought his enemies with all he had. From then on, he began to practice martial arts, treasuring his life exceedingly when facing opponents, which made people in Jianghu scorn him as a coward who clung to life and feared death.

Jiang Shouzhong felt a surge of emotion.
