Turns out they were the dwarf and Zhang San.
"What little girl, you don't know shit, she's just a devil. You don't even know how she messed me up."
Thinking of those days in Shuangxing County where life was worse than death, the dwarf gritted his teeth with hatred. If it weren't for his master's kindness, who went out of his way to save him, even using the Miraculous Medicine, he feared he'd already be lying dead on the street now.
Months ago, his tendons were all severed by Xuexue, and his Silver was entirely robbed by her, leaving him penniless. He was then thrown onto the street by the Self-Interested Shopkeeper of the inn.
Because his profound martial arts skills were wasted, he was worse than a normal person, crawling miserably on the dirty ground, left to endure hunger, exposure, and the ridicule of others.
Those humiliating laughs, he would never forget for the rest of his life.
