Yan Dechang's words made Yan Liqiang remember the things that his father drunkenly said to him the night he took first rank amongst the top three in the Qinghe County Martial Arts Examination——
"Xuelian… did you see? Our son...ranked first among the top three… I promised you before...to nurture Liqiang…waiting for the day for him to have the ability...to...avenge you… Then I...can finally put my mind at ease and join you…. Wait for me…"
On the next day, Yan Liqiang pretended that he didn't hear the nonsense Yan Dechang spouted, but the words his father said the night before had already been deeply imprinted into his heart.
As the saying goes, "A drunk man's words are a sober man's thoughts." Yan Liqiang realized there was something of the past in his household that his father did not wish to mention again. And this past was connected to his mother of this world, whom he had no recollection of.
