Simon

Biography

From prison guard to Holly’s disciple

Simon Sis is an irritable prison guard whose professional knowledge helps Du Ge distinguish useful inmates from genuine criminals. Du Ge persuades him that the harsh exterior hides a better nature, and Simon soon becomes one of Holly’s most effective storytellers, circulating the king’s invented heroic history until even other guards reassess him. Although Simon lacks both a martial soul and magical talent, Du Ge brings him along and personally seeks a cultivation path for him rather than discarding a loyal supporter. (Chapters 381–411)
