When Rong Zheng mentioned "Shi Fu's ashes," Tao Mian instinctively glanced at himself.

The Fifth Disciple was caught between laughter and tears.

"I'm not talking about you, don't be afraid. I'm referring to the Shi Fu who taught me martial arts when I was young at the Floating Pavilion."

Tao Mian recalled Rong Zheng's Shi Fu from when he had eavesdropped on her conversation with Chen Yan. She was the former head of the Shadow Guards, also a woman, and young Rong Zheng had taken over her position.

"My Shi Fu worked herself to death."

As the most outstanding girl among the orphans, Rong Zheng naturally received the most affection from her Shi Fu. Although her Shi Fu was strict, she always liked to take Rong Zheng with her wherever she went.

Thus, Rong Zheng was exposed to the work of the Shadow Guards at the Floating Pavilion earlier than her other junior brothers. Her Shi Fu taught her everything, from killing to self-defense.
