The enemy used Yang Ming's family to threaten him.
However, knowing how they usually operated, he could expect the worst had happened to his family.
Hence, no matter what they did to him, he would never speak.
Those people used sorcery to forcibly remove his pet beast from his body, severing their blood contract in the process. With this, the heavily injured Yang Ming was no different from a cripple.
After that, Yang Ming blacked out. He thought this was the end of his life, only to be surprised by the sight of Shang'er upon regaining consciousness.
However, this might just be another scheme of theirs so Yang Ming remained quiet after waking up. He would observe his surroundings for now.
Shang'er didn't know what happened so she asked for his name. Seeing how he wouldn't speak, she wondered if his brain was damaged from all the torture. Shang'er didn't consider anything else. She went out and returned shortly with a ferocious mountain tiger.
