PS, I'll insert a note here to clarify: Zhou Liangchen's original surname is Zhou, mentioned in the first seventy-five chapters.

In the early morning, Zhou Liangchen returned to the Zhou Mansion in Linhai County.
His face was pale, and his eyes were dull and lifeless, his whole demeanor confused and disoriented.
Several housekeepers and servants had already come to greet him, expressing their concern. Zhou Liangchen ignored them all and continued to stumble forward.
However, as he rounded the screen wall, his eyes flickered slightly.
The large and grand Zhou Family Hall in front of him was filled with people.
His father, 'Three Finger Divine' Zhou Xiongba, sat at the center of the hall, facing south, dominating the room.
The people seated on either side were either elders and key figures of the Zhou family or prominent retainers.
There were more than twenty experts of the Seventh Rank present.
