The old master had been in power for over a decade after all, and developing a weary and aged appearance was just a matter of time. Seeing him only a few months later, Musheng still felt a twinge of sorrow in her heart.
After all, in another sense, the old master was someone who had watched her grow up.
The old master's full name was Si Zhenyi, who had snatched the reins of power from among the five major families. The many years he had managed the affairs of state were testament to his capability.
He was now 68 years of age, and the end of 2020 marked the expiration of his last term in office.
His hair had turned white, and it was common for someone who had worked their mind and body so intensely in his position to be in declining health, so his continued vitality was remarkable.
Though his face bore the signs of great age, his complexion was still ruddy, indicating that his health wasn't too poor, just that he was advanced in years.
