"The surname Yu isn't a common one. Even though I've been traveling a lot, I rarely meet people with the same surname."
"That year, I set out from Nanfengzhou with a batch of goods and headed for Luojing. It was several months later when I returned. My housekeeper said that while I was away, a fellow disciple came to visit. He might be a relative of mine."
"Because of some experiences in my early years, I didn't have a good impression of some of my relatives and friends in my hometown, so I didn't pay much attention to it at the time."
"Then, two years later, I heard from the housekeeper again that a fourth-level expert from the same sect came to visit. He might be from my hometown. That's when I started to inquire about it in detail."
“It was only then that I learned that there was such a person with the same surname as me.”
"But at that time, I had just taken the position of the head of the hall and was busy with affairs, so I asked the butler to send someone to return the gift, and then I gradually forgot about it."
"Now that I think about it, I may have missed a good man with whom I could have made a deep friendship."
"So where is the person you're talking about now?"
"He should be in Donghuzhou. It's close to Fengbo Sea, where sea beasts wreak havoc, but it also offers many opportunities. Generally, those who are ambitious in improving themselves will go there to train."
"Even if he's moved over the years, we can definitely find out information by going to the branch church there. After all, a person like him wouldn't remain unknown."
Afterwards, the hall master asked the housekeeper to bring the wooden boxes containing letters from home, and searched through them one by one. Finally, he found the two greeting letters left by Yu Baichou among a pile of old papers.
Loran Hill opened the yellowed and even torn letter paper, looked at the words on it, and quickly confirmed that it was indeed left by Yu Baichou.
Although it was not written by him personally, he dictated it to someone else and copied it. Some of the speaking habits in it looked very familiar to Loran Hill.
In the first letter, Yu Baichou's words were very respectful and humble, probably because he was in a difficult situation and wanted to seek guidance and help.
At that time, he had been away from home for nearly ten years and gradually became estranged from his brothers. He was also alone and had no family. Although he had acquired a lot of skills, they were not outstanding. He was only at the third level, and he was stuck there for several years and could not advance. This made him, who was originally generous, feel discouraged and sad.
At that time, Yu Baichou wanted to meet this senior with the same surname from the same school to see if he could get some guidance. In the past, he would definitely not bother to beg like this, but the successive blows made Yu Baichou a little unbalanced, so he made many actions that were different from the past.
However, the hall master did not take this request for help seriously. Two years later, Yu Baichou returned from the Seven Continents of Lei. He had been promoted to the fourth level and was naturally in a much better mood. The words in the second letter were also particularly clear. He wrote it just to say hello and introduce his intentions.
I heard from the housekeeper in the mansion that when they sent the return gift to this person, Yu Baichou was about to break through the fourth level and enter the fifth level, so he came back and spoke a few words with the hall master, which left a faint impression.
There are a lot of things to do in the Tuosi Hall. The hall master has to meet countless people every year and deal with countless powerful colleagues. People like Yu Baichou may be outstanding, but they are not rare, so he has never had a deep impression of him. Until today when Luo Lanxier came to find him, he thought carefully and vaguely remembered such a person.
"So that's how it is." Loran Hill breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Yu Baichou was not involved in the fierce 'Lion-Dragon Fight', and then asked about the situation in Donghuzhou.
To the east of the twenty-two southern islands, there is a big mountain that looks like a tilted stone pot. It is by the sea, so this island is called Donghu Island.
"Compared to other islands, Donghu Island's coastline is particularly prominent. It's surrounded by the sea on three sides, and the huge waves of Fengbo Sea often sweep across the coast. Only Shihu Mountain is relatively stable and often inhabited."
Compared with Nanfengzhou, which has a permanent population of over 10 million, Donghuzhou has a pitifully small population of less than one million, scattered inland and on the Shihu Mountain near the sea.
"The Wind Wave Sea is different from the Endless Sea. The waves are extremely strong, the weather is unpredictable, and there are many sea beasts. Even though we know that the Western World is located across the Wind Wave Sea, no one has taken this route. Or perhaps there is no stable route at all."
"Donghuzhou is close to Fengbo Sea. Many cultivators specialize in building large ships to hunt sea beasts. The flesh, scales, bones, and other materials they obtain can often be sold for a considerable sum. However, this business is also very risky, and many people die at sea every year."
"Our branch of the Tuoshitang there has also established a rule that we are absolutely not allowed to go out to sea to hunt animals. We are only engaged in the business of transporting people and supplies to and from Donghuzhou."
"If Miss Jialan wants to go there, I can write a letter of introduction, which will make the journey a lot more convenient." Although he is now recuperating from his injuries, he has been the head of a continent for a long time and is also the 'Red Lion General' in the sect. He has a lot of face and can help the girl solve many tedious mundane matters.
"Thank you for that, senior." Loran Hill responded gratefully.
"Haha, this is just a small matter. Are you ready for the banquet? I am lucky enough to have recovered today, so I will have a big drink." Although he looks to be over sixty years old, he is still vigorous and heroic.
The following night, Loran Hill had no choice but to have another meal with him before returning to the hotel in Taowuzhou.
I had originally planned to set off for Donghuzhou the next day, but before leaving, I received an unexpected news.
"How about Miss Jialan come with us to Nanfengzhou?" The Hall Master Yu asked Ni Daqiang to invite Luo Lan Hill.
"Did something happen?" Loran Hill asked curiously.
"Yes, a lot of things have happened in the sect recently, and I just got the news this morning." After saying that, he took out a letter and showed it to Loran Hill.
